Hello. I am trying to help a fellow nifi user who is finding that none of the changes she makes to her canvas are persisting to flow.xml.gz . Oddly, she has no group or use policies on her single-node nifi instance. I don't see that they have much security at all yet on her host at this point.
The nifi process runs as her userid, and her user has rwx on the conf directory. Specifically, the perms on conf are drwxr-sr-x . We Dropped a single MonitorActivity on her NiFi Flow canvas. We then tested to see if it was saved by shutting down and (re)starting her nifi service. Her MonitorActivity was not part of her canvas. This tells me changes she is making are not being written to flow.xml.gz. This is very odd because she has been able to make changes in the past. What are the elements that must be configured so that flow.xml.gz may be updated? What can I help her check? Are there parms in nifi.properties that must be checked to ensure she can write to flow.xml.gz? Thanks in advance for any help.
