Auto installation of template

["michael.griffiths3@baesystems.com" <mi...@baesystems.com>]

Hi all,

Is there a method in which I can auto-import a template during the installation of NiFi without having a user to manually Import a  template?
I've moved the exported templates into the /templates directory and then launched NiFi, which didn't import them. I'm also unable to see an "import template" REST API in the documents.

Many thanks,

Michael

Michael,

I don't think you can put a template into conf/templates and have it be
picked up, I tried a couple of things and it looks like the system manages
the things put in there.

For the REST API, the documentation for uploading a template is missing
because there are two ways to use POST and the doc generation tool only
grabs one of them.  There was an email a while back where Matt Gilman
explained how to use the other form of POST with multi-part form data to
upload/import a template:

Regards,
Matt
