Description

I'm currently using multiple S2S reporting tasks to send various monitoring data about my workflows. However this forces me to use multiple input ports (one per type of reporting task) as I'm not able to easily distinct what data comes from what reporting task.

I'd like to add an attribute "reporting.task.name" set to the name of the reporting task when sending flow files via S2S. This way I can use a single input port and then use a RouteOnAttribute processor to split my data based on the reporting task source. The objective to use a single input port is to reduce the number of threads used for S2S operations.
