NiFi configuration files changes

Hi to all,

Is there a good way how to capture NiFi configuration files changes (nifi.properties, authorizers.xml,...etc)
and to forward that changes (or just to notify) some other system or app?
Can I do it with NiFi itself?
The question is in the context of Cloudera platform - CFM.

Thanks,
Regards,
Tom

Hi Andrew,

thanks for the answer.

I looked at CM API endpoints and there is only to retrieve service configuration files according to this
https://docs.cloudera.com/cdp-private-cloud-base/7.1.6/configuring-clusters/topics/cm-api-get-configuration.html

There is no anything related to the change log.

Regards,
Tom

The physical files will get synchronized to the reference state from a central config management source (CM). There's no point watching them on the file system. If you need a change log for config files, I'd look into CM api to fetch those instead.
