Ingest data with getsmbfile from a number of SMB shares

[#1]

Hi there.

I'm using NiFi to get data from remote windows servers using the GetSmbFile processor.

It works but I have a number of servers exposing data on SMB share and I'm trying to understand if I can catalog all my remote servers in a SQL table with needed parameters (eg. hostname, user, pass, share) to be passed to that processor.

I see that GetSmbFiles doesn't support EL so I haven't found a working solution nor anything helpful on line.

Is this achievable without writing my own processor or running external code?

Any help is appreciated

Just to say that a different approach, with MiNiFi on each machine, meets the needs .

Thanks
