Description

I am trying to pull the controller details by name, it does not show up anything. The controller was under REPORTING TASK CONTROLLER SERVICES. When i give identifier as id, it gives correct result .

when i do list_all_controller() and controller.component.name, it does not show up correct name. Thats the reason its not fetching the correct controller when we fetch using identifier as 'name'

It works fine for canvas level controller services. Able to fetch using identifier_type='name'. so the issue is just for Reporting task controller service that also using identifier as'name'

The short answer here is that the canvas calls are for Controllers at the canvas level, which are accessed in the GUI via the cog icon within a progress group (with the root process group being a special case of a process group). The Reporting etc. Controllers are in their own interface in the hamburger menu and use different calls in the API - I have not yet created convenience functions for them so you'll have to hit the underlying nipyapi.nifi.* APIs to interact with them.
