Hi Team,
I went through the NiFi documentation to get an idea about Controller Services. But still I am not clear when to go for Controller services. Could you please help me with answering the below queries?
1. What are Controller Services & its characteristics/advantages? Why do we go for it?
2. In what scenarioes we can/should use it?
Thanks & Regards,
R.Rohit

A controller service is, in a simplified view, a package of configuration parameters and code that does something in the background. Some examples are:
There is a more formal explanation in the docs but I understand that you read that already.
In the first two use cases, if you configure a processor that uses any of these services, the processor will ask you to configure a controller service. You will not be able to run the processor before you configure the controller service (or use an existing one.)
