PROPERTIES

Property

Description

Batch Size

The maximum number of files to pull in each iteration

Directory

The network folder to which files should be written. This is the remaining relative path after the share: \hostnameshare[dir1dir2].

Domain

The domain used for authentication. Optional, in most cases username and password is sufficient.

File Filter

Only files whose names match the given regular expression will be picked up

Hostname

The network host to which files should be written.

Ignore Hidden Files

Indicates whether or not hidden files should be ignored

Keep Source File

If true, the file is not deleted after it has been copied to the Content Repository; this causes the file to be picked up continually and is useful for testing purposes. If not keeping original NiFi will need write permissions on the directory it is pulling from otherwise it will ignore the file.

Password

The password used for authentication. Required if Username is set.

Path Filter

When Recurse Subdirectories is true, then only subdirectories whose path matches the given regular expression will be scanned

Polling Interval

Indicates how long to wait before performing a directory listing

Recurse Subdirectories

Indicates whether or not to pull files from subdirectories

Share

The network share to which files should be written. This is the “first folder”after the hostname: \hostname[share]dir1dir2

Share Access Strategy

Indicates which shared access are granted on the file during the read. None is the most restrictive, but the safest setting to prevent corruption.

Username

The username used for authentication. If no username is set then anonymous authentication is attempted.

enable-dfs

Enables accessing Distributed File System (DFS) and following DFS links during SMB operations.

smb-dialect

The SMB dialect is negotiated between the client and the server by default to the highest common version supported by both end. In some rare cases, the client-server communication may fail with the automatically negotiated dialect. This property can be used to set the dialect explicitly (e.g. to downgrade to a lower version), when those situations would occur.

timeout

Timeout for read and write operations.

use-encryption

Turns on/off encrypted communication between the client and the server. The property’s behavior is SMB dialect dependent: SMB 2.x does not support encryption and the property has no effect. In case of SMB 3.x, it is a hint/request to the server to turn encryption on if the server also supports it.

file.lastModifiedTime

The date and time that the file was last modified. May not work on all file systems

file.lastAccessTime

The date and time that the file was last accessed. May not work on all file systems

absolute.path
