> The UI's About dialog and underlying API provide the version of NiFi, like "0.7.0-SNAPSHOT".  For many bug reports and troubleshooting requests, this is not very precise, especially around rapidly changing code or platform-dependent behavior.  It would help if NiFi captured and displayed additional information:  
> * NiFi build commit hash
> * NiFi build branch
> * NiFi build date/time
> * Java Version
> * Java Vendor (Oracle, OpenJDK)
> * OS
> Then a simple copy/paste from the about box would provide very specific information about a particular NiFi installation and which code it was derived from.
