@Josiah_Johnston Based off your last comment, my new hunch would be that perhaps there is something going on with the volume you use for the content repository. Still, it's hard to say without more testing. Here are a couple of tests/checks I would run if this happened in one of our nifi clusters (both the problem as you describe it and what I could spot from the screenshot you sent): While the content repo is empty, are there any other flowfiles being processed in the node? it would make no sense for any flow/ingestion to work if the content repository is completely empty. Perhaps the content claims are being written elsewhere, or perhaps they are immediately deleted upon being created in the content repo What happens to the flowfiles which were already in the flow once the problem started? if all their content was deleted, they shouldn't be able to proceed in the flow even after a restart. What happens if you try and view their content in the UI? Perhaps there are some helpful logs written to the nifi applogs once the problem starts (just before the errors relating to not finding content claims start flooding in) What would happen if you were to create a file in the content repo and then reproduced the problem? would it only delete the nifi-generated content repo files/directories or would it also delete your own file? Is there a way to tell on which node the issue will happen on? Is it perhaps happening on the same node (for the same storage volume) repeatedly? What is the flowfile repository's status while the issue is happening? Does it still have all its regular files even when the content repo was deleted? If you try and google something along the lines of 'nifi content repository empty / deleting' no relevant results come up. My team and I have never experienced something similar to this either. This is why I suspect it is perhaps not a nifi related issue but rather something to do with your infrastructure / something else on your end.
