MiNiFi—a subproject of Apache NiFi—is a complementary data collection
approach that supplements the core tenets of NiFi in dataflow management,
focusing on the collection of data at the source of its creation.

Specific goals for the initial thrust of the MiNiFi effort comprise:

   - Small size and low resource consumption
   - Central management of agents
   - Generation of data provenance (full chain of custody of information)
   - Integration with NiFi for follow-on dataflow management
