Description:

Send events to Riemann when FlowFiles pass through this processor. You can use events to notify Riemann that a FlowFile passed through, or you can attach a more meaningful metric, such as, the time a FlowFile took to get to this processor. All attributes attached to events support the Expression Language Guide.
