    Description

      The UI's About dialog and underlying API provide the version of NiFi, like "0.7.0-SNAPSHOT". For many bug reports and troubleshooting requests, this is not very precise, especially around rapidly changing code or platform-dependent behavior. It would help if NiFi captured and displayed additional information:

      • NiFi build commit hash
      • NiFi build branch
      • NiFi build date/time
      • Java Version
      • Java Vendor (Oracle, OpenJDK)
      • OS

      Then a simple copy/paste from the about box would provide very specific information about a particular NiFi installation and which code it was derived from.
