Pierre Villard commented on NIFI-14086:
---------------------------------------
I'm not sure I understand
{quote}once a single copy is deployed from the registry, all other copies will
fail to deploy due to name conflict.
{quote}
because you can have multiple process groups with the same name. Can you
elaborate?
> Nifi toolkit pg-import command should allow specifying PG name

> Key: NIFI-14086
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-14086
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Tools and Build
> Reporter: Greg Solovyev
> Assignee: Greg Solovyev
> Priority: Minor
>
> Process groups templates in registry include name property, which translates
> into process group name when importing a process group from a registry. This
> makes it hard to have multiple instances of the same PG template within the
> same NiFi instance. The example that I am dealing with is that a PG template
> represents an implementation of a specific data connector (e.g., a connector
> that reads events from a Windows Event Collection server or a Syslog server,
> etc) and I need to deploy multiple copies of this connector to a single NiFi
> instance where each copy reads from a separate server. I cannot do this
> without accessing renaming process groups via NiFi UI or REST API, because
> # once a single copy is deployed from the registry, all other copies will
> fail to deploy due to name conflict.
> # NiFi toolkit does not support renaming a process group
> I have an implementation of this feature already in Anetac's NiFi fork
> [https://github.com/apache/nifi/commit/a6d36a721e19aa44ff77514809b1ca001211848e,]
> so this is just a matter of porting the change to main branch.
