RestChangeIngestor
class name: org.apache.nifi.minifi.bootstrap.configuration.ingestors.RestChangeIngestor
This Config Change Ingestor sets up a light-weight Jetty HTTP(S) REST service in order to listen to HTTP(S) requests. A potential new configuration is sent via a POST request with the BODY being the potential new config.
Note: The encoding is expected to be Unicode and the exact version specified by the BOM mark ('UTF-8','UTF-16BE' or 'UTF-16LE'). If there is no BOM mark, then UTF-8 is used.
Here is an example post request using 'curl' hitting the local machine on pot 8338 and it is executed with the config file "config.yml" in the directory the command is run from:
curl --request POST --data-binary "@config.yml" http://localhost:8338/
Below are the configuration options. There are no required options. If no properties are set then the server will bind to hostname "localhost" on a random open port, will only connect via HTTP and will use the WholeConfigDifferentiator.
