> With MiNiFi starting be used to send data to a central NiFi, it would be helpful if information about the sending host and port was added to each flow file received over site-to-site. Currently this information is available and used to generate the transit URI in the RECEIVE event, but this information isn't available to downstream processors that might want to make routing decisions.

> A possible approach might be to add two attributes to each flow file, something like "remote.host" and "remote.address" where remote.host has only the sending hostname, and remote.address has the sending host and port.
