-----------------------------------

             Summary: ParseEVTX only outputs one event per chunk
                 Key: NIFI-4735
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4735
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Extensions
    Affects Versions: 1.4.0
            Reporter: Terry Brugger
         Attachments: EVTX2XML.xml, Screen Shot 2018-01-03 at 15.06.24.png

I have constructed a simple pipeline that reads a Windows EVTX binary file, runs it through ParseEvtx, and writes out the result (template attached). As a sample I fed it a 192MiB file and it only output 3.3MiB (see screenshot). The output file contains 3071 events. Not coincidentally, I am sure, 192MiB/64KiB = 3072, which would indicate that it only wrote out one event from each chunk. If I configure the processor to output by the chunk or event I get 3071 separate files with one event each. Unfortunately, I have no way to sanitize binary EVTX so I cannot provide the actual file used.

By way of comparison, I ran the same EVTX file through evtx_dump.py from the python-evtx package (which I understand ParseEvtx was based on) and it produced 395,757 events -- on par with what I would expect. It also took much longer than NiFi -- like 30 minutes versus a few seconds -- which I also expect is consistent with processing the entire file.
