I stopped everything on my Kylo/nifi lab and leave just one FEED running (data_ingest) looking for files on a specific directory. Before I put a new file to be processed, my nifi-app.log seems a lot with your (the last version that you attached), look:

So, in your case we are not seeing any change on the nifi-app.log - ERROR or INFO. So, I guess that you don't have any FEED running. I'm very confused about your issue. Do you see the FEED Running on Kylo dashboard?
