Downloading Custom Service Descriptor files

A Custom Service Descriptor (CSD) file contains the configuration details required to describe and manage a new service. Follow the below steps to download the CSDs for each Cloudera Flow Management service, specify ownership and permissions, and then restart the Cloudera Manager server.

Ensure that you have installed the Cloudera Flow Management parcel from the repository.
  1. Download the NiFi and NiFi Registry CSD files and place them in the default CSD directory: /opt/cloudera/csd
    For example: Use the following wget commands to download the required CSD files for Cloudera Flow Management 4.0.0 on RHEL7/CentOS8.
    wget https://[***username***]:[***password***]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cfm2/4.0.0.0/redhat8/yum/tars/parcel/NIFI-2.0.0.4.0.0.0-383.jar
wget https://[***username***]:[***password***]@archive.cloudera.com/p/cfm2/4.0.0.0/redhat6/yum/tars/parcel/NIFIREGISTRY-2.0.0.4.0.0.0-383.jar
  2. Set CSD oownership and permission in the opt/cloudera/csd directory by entering the following. 
    chown cloudera-scm:cloudera-scm ./*
chmod 644 ./*
  3. Restart the Cloudera Manager Server to apply the changes. 
    sudo service cloudera-scm-server restart
  4. On the Cloudera Manager Status tab, select Restart from the Cloudera Management Service drop-down to restart the Cloudera Management Service.

Once the CSD files are added, your Cloudera Base on premises installation is complete. You can now proceed with installing, securing, and configuring Cloudera Flow Management.

You can install NiFi and NiFi Registry on the Base cluster, on a Compute cluster, or in a hybrid setup. To determine the best option for your use case, see Cloudera Flow Management installation workflow .
