Hi LC, Yes this is normal. By default, HandleHTTPRequest starts its own Jetty web server listening for requests. Then the processor polls every 2 milliseconds to see if any requests have arrived. Each poll is recorded as a Task in NiFi. This is necessary in order for the NiFi framework to create flowFiles out of HTTP requests.
If you don't expect much HTTP traffic, you can reduce the poll interval by setting the Run Schedule to a value higher than 2 millis. But be careful to not set it too high, because this also delays responses to your clients.
