Nifi DatadogReportingTask attribute "API Key" is neither sensitive nor it supports env variables

[#1]

Nifi DatadogReportingTask attribute "API Key" is neither sensitive nor it supports env variables.

This field is a sensitive key and I dont want it to show the attribute value on the UI.

Please let me know how can this be achieved?

Also what is the reason to not keep this field sensitive or "expression language compatible".

NiFi 1.10 introduced a new parameters feature that allows you to define parameters that can be used in any component property. 

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-6276

After reading the user guide for this new feature, it does not look like it can be used in NiFi controller services or reporting tasks.

https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/html/user-guide.html#Parameters

I recommend that you open an Apache NiFi Jira requesting that this particular property be recoded as a sensitive property.

Hope this helps,

Matt
