You can set up your MiNiFi dataflow using the Cloudera Edge Management (CEM) UI. To
create a simple dataflow, you need to add processors, configure the processor properties,
connect the processors, and publish the dataflow.
-
Drag the GenerateFlowFile and PublishKafka processors to the canvas and connect
them.
The dataflow appears on the canvas as shown in the following image:

Configure the GenerateFlowFile processor and click APPLY
to apply the changes.
-
Configure the PublishKafka processor and click APPLY to
apply the changes.
You need to set the following properties in the PublishKafka processor to
enable SSL:
- Security CA
- Security Cert
- Security Pass Phrase
- Security Private Key
- Security Protocol - Set it to ssl
Apart from the above properties, you need to set the Known Brokers and Topic
Name properties.
-
Publish the flow by selecting Publish from the
ACTIONS drop-down.
