Adding the NiFi Registry service

Provides the steps for adding and configuring the NiFi Registry service.

You have added the NiFi Service to a cluster.

  1. From Home > Status tab, select the drop-down to the right of your cluster, and select Add a Service. Install one service at a time.
  2. Specify that you want to add the NiFi Registry service and click Continue to display the Add Service wizard.
  3. Select NiFi Registry dependencies and click Continue.

    Cloudera recommends that you select NiFi and Ranger dependencies.

  4. Assign Roles to your NiFi Registry service.
    Select the host onto which you want to install your new NiFi Registry role. Click Continue.
  5. Review changes to your configuration. Click Continue to start the service installation.
    Provide a value for your Initial Admin Identity. You may choose to further customize your NiFi configuration here.
  6. Click Continue and Finish to complete the installation.
  7. Open a browser and enter the URL to the NiFi Registry UI.
    The URL format for the NiFi Registry UI is based on whether or not you selected Knox as a dependency during the installation:
    • If you did not select Knox, the URL format is: 
      https://[***HOSTNAME***]:18443/nifi-registry
    • If you selected Knox, use the Knox URL as a single entry point to securely access all NiFi Registry nodes and switch nodes if one fails. The format is: 
      https://[***KNOX-GATEWAY-HOSTNAME***]:[***KNOX-GATEWAY-PORT***]/gateway/cdp-proxy/nifi-registry-app/nifi-registry/

Verify the new service is added properly by checking the health status for the new service. If the Health Status is Good, then the service added properly.

When you have finished adding the NiFi Registry service, proceed by connecting NiFi to NiFi Registry.
