Obtain a counter's value via REST/JMX/etc
Hey guys -
I just wanted to make sure this capability isn't already in NiFi before I
open a feature request JIRA. This could be useful for building monitoring
around data flows, for example, using nagios to make sure counters are
incrementing where they should be.

Ricky,
So everything you see in the UI is available over our REST API. The
counters are available at the URL you specified. We do have some
documentation for our REST API but we have disabled it due to licensing
concerns in the generated output. We have a ticket to replace this with
another option [1]. However, if you've built your NiFi from source, you can
manually enable the 'docs' profile to generate the REST documentation. If
the NiFi instance your running was built with that profile active (mvn
clean install -Pdocs) they will be accessible from the help section. Click
the help link in the upper right and scroll to the Developer section at the
bottom of the navigation pane on the left.
Once we've address NIFI-292 we will be enabling that profile by default.
