There is a processor that, if I have understood it properly, parses CEF files and lets you use the fields as attributes, and I have been checking online for anything that helps, but I can't seem to find anything. Is it factible to process CEF data in NiFi, or would you recommend switching over to another component of Big Data?</P><P>Thank you so much.</P><P>Kind regards.</P> Tue, 21 Apr 2026 12:16:21 GMT pol 2026-04-21T12:16:21Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Converting-CEF-to-CSV-with-Apache-NiFi/m-p/190638#M80625 <P>Hi all!</P><P>I've been trying to convert logs from CEF to CSV to no avail lately.

It can either pass the CEF fields as attributes of the flowfile or convert to a JSON flowfile for further processing.</P> Thu, 12 Jul 2018 23:39:13 GMT https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/Converting-CEF-to-CSV-with-Apache-NiFi/m-p/190639#M80626 wcbdata 2018-07-12T23:39:13Z
