Hi David,
not sure if I understood you correctly, so my questions: Why do you think you would need a GenerateFlowfile, why not scheduling the InvokeHTTP to run every 30 sec, timer or cron based? What do you mean with "exponential backoff"? If you're getting HTTP/500 errors, they would be handled per default with the RETRY relationship. Could be recursively connected to the InvokeHTTP processor itself. Michael Am 23.04.25 um 21:15 schrieb David Gallagher:
I am using Nifi 2.3.0. I want to use an InvokeHTTP processor to poll a REST endpoint every 30s and get a flowfile from the response containing the payload (it'll be protobuf). I've found that I have to use a GenerateFlowFile as input to InvokeHTTP if I want the output on the Response relationship. I also want to implement exponential backoff under certain conditions, e.g. if I'm getting 500 errors; I'm concerned there because if I'm running GFF every 30s, it'll just keep making the request. I feel like I'm missing something here; is the idea maybe to use backpressure to make sure that only one request can be in the queue at a time? Would appreciate some advice. Thanks, Dave
