In NiFi there is a lot of information, such as stats and bulletins, that is only available to view through the UI. MiNiFi provides access to this information through a query mechanism. You can query FlowStatus either using the MiNiFi.sh script or by configuring one of the Periodic Status Reporters. The API for the query is the same for the reporters and the "flowStatus" script option. The API is outlined in the "FlowStatus Query Options" section below.
