Nifi ListSFTP cash duration

[#1]

Hi,

I want to set the cash duration for listSftp to be 40 days,  I want to clear cash every 40 days

is there a way to log the met-data of the listed file for example file name and reading timestamp and query the listed file?

ListSFTP does not actually fetch the content of any files from the target SFTP server.  You would need a FetchSFTP processor after listSFTP to do that.   The ListSFTP processor results in FlowFile(s) with metadata about the the listed file from the SFTP processor.  This metadata is then used by the downstream FetchSFTP processor to retrieve the actual content for each FlowFile.

The documentation for the ListSFTP processor covers the attributes that are written to the FlowFile(s):
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-standard-nar/1.19.1/org.apach...

This metadata is present on the FlowFile as FlowFile attributes, and you can manipulate and do anything you like with this metadata.
