    What is the use case for this field? The incoming flow file content is CEF not JSON, so it looks like this property just lets you choose whether the output is flat JSON or flat JSON one level down (in a single _raw) object. Is that the intent? Not saying it's bad, just curious :)

> As NiFi continue to increase its abilities to complement SIEM, Splunk and ELK deployments, a number of users will be looking to parse CEF formatted logs[1][2].
> CEF is a format specified by Arcsight (now part of HPE) and is described in detail in here:
