Configure Dynamic Properties
Some IDOL NiFi Ingest connectors have additional properties which are not displayed by default in the configuration dialog. These are called dynamic properties.
For example, if you are configuring a GetRSS
processor to retrieve information from an RSS feed, you might need to configure SSL/TLS settings. The GetRSS processor has dynamic properties named SSL config
and SSL method
.
To view a list of the dynamic properties that are available, refer to the online help for the connector (see Display Online Help).
To set a dynamic property
-
Right-click the processor and click Configure.
The Configure Processor dialog box opens.
- Click the Properties tab.
-
Click Add
.
The Add Property dialog box opens.
-
Type the name of the property that you want to add and click OK.
TIP: If the property has an associated section name, you can specify the section name in square brackets immediately before the property name. For example, if you set a dynamic property named
SSL config
to "SSLOptions", you might then set a dynamic property named[SSLOptions]SSL method
to "negotiate". There must be no space between the section name and the property name. - Set a value for the property.
- Click APPLY.
To remove a dynamic property, find it in the properties list and click the delete icon .
