Converting CEF to CSV with Apache NiFi

[#1]

Hi all!

I've been trying to convert logs from CEF to CSV to no avail lately. 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?

Thank you so much.

Kind regards.

The ParseCEF processor should get you started. It can either pass the CEF fields as attributes of the flowfile or convert to a JSON flowfile for further processing.
