Nifi data provenance in Apache NiFi Processors goes away. Anyway to stop it from doing that?

Question

Apache NiFi Processors automatically remove data provenance information after a few minutes. Is there a setting I can adjust to extend this period? We require this data for debugging purposes.

Answer 1

Provenance storage is configurable in nifi.properties. You should take a look at the Persistent Provenance Repository Properties section, which controls the provenance record retention by both time and total size of the provenance data set. The defaults are 24 hours / 1 GB.

# Persistent Provenance Repository Properties
nifi.provenance.repository.directory.default=./provenance_repository
nifi.provenance.repository.max.storage.time=24 hours
nifi.provenance.repository.max.storage.size=1 GB
