             Summary: Remove RequestLogger Filter and TimerFilter
                 Key: NIFI-9394
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-9394
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core UI, Security
            Reporter: David Handermann
            Assignee: David Handermann


With the introduction of standardized HTTP Request Logging in NIFI-9291, the custom {{RequestLogger}} and {{TimerFilter}} classes should be removed.

The {{RequestLogger}} filter logs informational messages for unencrypted HTTP access attempts. With the default NiFi configuration enabling HTTPS, this use case is no longer common, and HTTP Request Logging in nifi-request.log can provide the same information plus additional request details.

The {{TimerFilter}} runs for every HTTP request and writes debug log messages that include millisecond timing information as well as the contents of {{X-RequestTransactionId}} and {{X-Request-Replicated}} HTTP headers. This debug logging is not enabled in the default Logback configuration. The same header and request timing information can be captured using a custom {{nifi.web.request.log.format}} with the following message format:

{noformat}
%{X-RequestTransactionId}i %{X-Request-Replicated}i %T 
{noformat}
