Is your NiFi a single instance of NiFi or a NiFi cluster?
If it is a cluster, keep in my mind by default the GetFile processor will be running on every node in that cluster. The validate will also run on every node as well, so make sure the directory exists on all nodes.
Also make sure you have only specified a d directory path in the "Input Directory" property in GetFile. In you case, you should have only "/root/example" for that property.
The filename you wish to pickup should be specified in the "File Filter" property.
