You can set up a data flow to move data to Google Cloud Storage (GCS) from many
different locations. This example assumes that you are streaming the data that you are tailing
from a local file on the NiFi host. Learn how you can configure the TailFile
data source processor for your GCS ingest data flow.
-
Launch the Configure Processor window, by right clicking the
TailFile processor and selecting
Configure.
This gives you a configuration dialog with
the following tabs: Settings, Scheduling,
Properties, Comments.
- Configure the processor according to the behavior you expect in your data
flow.
You can provide the path to the nifi-app.log file that contains the
log of the NiFi service running on the host.
- When you have finished configuring the options you need, save the changes by
clicking Apply.
Make sure that you set all required properties, as you cannot start the processor until
all mandatory properties have been configured.
Configure the processor for merging your records.
