Attempts to identify the MIME Type used for a FlowFile. If the MIME Type can be identified, an attribute with the name 'mime.type' is added with the value being the MIME Type. If the MIME Type cannot be determined, the value will be set to 'application/octet-stream'. Some MIME Types require reading a significant amount of data; for these MIME Types, their identification is optional. The algorithm may have to read the entire contents of the file for each type of identification.

In the list below, the names of required properties appear in bold. Any other properties (not in bold) are considered optional. The table also indicates any default values, whether a property supports the NiFi Expression Language, and whether a property is considered "sensitive", meaning that its value will be encrypted. Before entering a value in a sensitive property, ensure that the nifi.properties file has an entry for the property nifi.sensitive.props.key.
