If CFM or the CDP Private Cloud Base cluster does not have Auto-TLS enabled and you want to
Atlas, then you must manually integrate with Atlas by creating the
ReportLineageToAtlas reporting task.
Perform this task if:
- CFM does not have TLS enabled; AND
- The CDP Private Cloud Base cluster does not have auto-TLS enabled; AND
- You do not want to enable auto-TLS; AND
- You want Atlas as part of CFM on your CDP Private Cloud Base deployment.

From the Global Menu located in NiFi’s upper right corner, select Controller
Services and click the Reporting Tasks tab.
-
Click the Add (+) icon to launch the Add Reporting Task
dialog.
-
Select ReportLineageToAtlas and click Add.
-
Click the Edit icon to launch the Configure Reporting Task
dialog. The following properties are required:
-
Atlas URLs – a comma-separated list of Atlas Server URLs. Once
you have started reporting, you cannot modify an existing Reporting
Task to add a new Atlas Server. When you need to add a new Atlas
Server, you must create a new reporting task.
-
Atlas Configuration Directory - This specifies where the
atlas-applications.properties is created.
The directory must:
- Be located and accessible/writable by the user running the
NiFi process.
- Be available on each NiFi node.
- Pre-exist. It will not be created by the reporting
task.
- Not be in the /tmp directory.
-
Create Atlas Configuration File – Set to
True. When set to True, the
atlas-application-properties file and the
Atlas Configuration Directory are automatically created when the
Reporting Task starts.
-
Lineage Strategy – Specifies the level of granularity for your
NiFi dataflow reporting to Atlas. Once you have started reporting,
you should not switch between simple and complete lineage reporting
strategies.
-
Provenance Record Start Position – Specifies where in the
Provenance Events stream the Reporting Task should start.
-
Provenance Record Batch Size – Specifies how many records you
want to send in a single batch
-
NiFi URL for Atlas – Specifies the NiFi cluster URL.
-
Atlas Authentication Method – Specifies how to authenticate
the Reporting Task to the Atlas Server. Basic authentication is the
default.
-
Kafka Security Protocol – Specifies the protocol used to
communicate with Kafka brokers to send Atlas hook notification
messages. This value should match Kafka's
security.protocol property value.
