How can I effectively track the original FlowFile UUID across different processors in Apache NiFi, especially after using the SplitJson processor, which creates new FlowFiles with different UUIDs? I would like to trace the original FlowFile’s path through the flow to ensure it reaches the intended processor.

Additionally, when a FlowFile is routed to a failure state, I am not receiving any explicit error message to identify the cause of the failure. How can I obtain more detailed information about the failure, such as the error message or reason for failure, without having to manually inspect the NiFi logs?
