Just my Two Cents on it, If you are experiencing a lot of queued flow-files and you want to clear them without having to reload the config.yml, a very quick and dirty way would be to clear all the repos on the minifi edge. Here how i do it - assuming your minifi sits in /opt - you will lose all queued data by doing this, but you no longer have queues.(not ideal) -- before cleanup
/opt/minifi/bin/minifi.sh flowStatus connection:all:health,stats | tail -2 | head -1| jq '.'
/opt/minifi/bin/minifi.sh stop
rm -rf /opt/minifi/flowfile_repository/*
rm -rf /opt/minifi/content_repository/*
rm -rf /opt/minifi/provenance_repository/*
/opt/minifi/bin/minifi.sh start
-- after cleanup
/opt/minifi/bin/minifi.sh flowStatus connection:all:health,stats | tail -2 | head -1| jq '.'
Ideal solution: Use the minifi.sh flowStatus cmd to push data into the NiFi server and monitor this types of stuff. From here you can develop nifi flows to act on what needs to be done to those edge minifi. you can even build a dashboard from this data and actually see how to edges are doing. No doubt Horton has this on the to do list.
