The config.yml in the conf directory is the main configuration file for controlling how MiNiFi runs. This section provides an overview of the properties in this file. The file is a YAML and follows the YAML format laid out here.

Alternatively, the MiNiFi Toolkit Converter can aid in creating a config.yml from a generated template exported from a NiFi instance. This tool can be downloaded from http://nifi.apache.org/minifi/download.html under the MiNiFi Toolkit Binaries section. Information on the toolkit's usage is available at https://nifi.apache.org/minifi/minifi-toolkit.html.

Note: Values for periods of time and data sizes must include the unit of measure, for example "10 sec" or "10 MB", not simply "10".
