> There are times between designign a MiNiFi flow that the initial file to be Tailed is not know at design time. Often the design and deploy may be seperates by days and thus non-deterministic. Therefore, the initial file name is not known ahead of time. This could be fixed by modifying the config.yml on the agent box when it is deployed, however, that seems to be a more brittle solution and puts the burden on the person doing the agent deploy. This model may also not work when the MiNiFi management facilities are realized.
