        <class>org.apache.nifi.bootstrap.notification.http.HttpNotificationService</class>
        <property name="URL">https://testServer.com:8080/</property>
        <property name="Truststore Filename">localhost-ts.jks</property>
        <property name="Truststore Type">JKS</property>
        <property name="Truststore Password">localtest<property>
        <property name="Keystore Filename">localhost-ts.jks</property>
        <property name="Keystore Type">JKS</property>
