Installing NiFi Registry on your Base cluster

Add and configure the NiFi Registry service on your Base cluster to provide centralized version control for NiFi dataflows.

You have prepared your Cloudera Base on premises Base cluster.

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.
Specify that you want to add the NiFi Registry service and click Continue to display the Add Service wizard.
Select NiFi Registry dependencies and click Continue.

Cloudera recommends that you select NiFi and Ranger dependencies.

NiFi Registry does not require any dependencies. However, if you select No Optional Dependencies, some services are still selected as dependencies. You can deselect unwanted dependencies once you have finished the installation.
Assign Roles to your NiFi Registry service.
Select the host onto which you want to install your new NiFi Registry role. Click Continue.
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.

You must add any group name or identity set by these three parameters to Ranger, in order for your installation install to succeed.

- NiFi Registry proxy group (nifi.registry.proxy.group)
- Initial Admin Groups (nifi.registry.initial.admin.groups)

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.
