Notify allows administrators to send messages as bulletins to NiFi. Notify is supported on NiFi version 1.2.0 and higher. The notification tool is also available in a notify.bat file for use on Windows machines.

To send notifications:

notify.sh -d {$NIFI_HOME} -b {nifi bootstrap file path} -m {message} [-l {level}] [-v]

notify.sh -h

The following are available options:

  • -b,--bootstrapConf <arg> Existing Bootstrap Configuration file (required)

  • -d,--nifiInstallDir <arg> NiFi Root Folder (required)

  • -h,--help Help Text (optional)

  • -l,--level <arg> Status level of bulletin - INFO, WARN, ERROR

  • -m,--message <arg> Bulletin message (required)

  • -p,--proxyDN <arg> Proxy or User DN (required for secured nodes)

  • -v,--verbose Verbose messaging (optional)
