Restarting a deployment

Restarting a Cloudera Data Flow deployment restarts the NiFi cluster. The deployed flows return to the state they were before the restart, unless you choose to stop them.

  • You must have a running deployment in Cloudera Data Flow.
  • You must have DFFlowAdmin permission.
  1. Open Cloudera Data Flow by clicking the Data Flow tile in the Cloudera sidebar.
  2. Click Deployments from the left navigation pane.
    The Deployments page is displayed, by default the Deployments tab is active.


  3. Select a deployment to expand the Deployment & Flows pane where you can view deployment details, KPIs, system metrics, alerts, and event history information. This is the view where you can also access flows on that specific deployment.
  4. In Deployment & Flows, click Actions > Manage Deployment.
    You are redirected to the Deployment Manager page.
  5. Click Actions on the Manage Deployment page.
  6. Select Restart deployment.
    The Restart [Deployment Name] pop-up opens.
  7. Optional: If you want the deployed flows to remain stopped after the deployment restarts, select the Stop flows after restart option.
  8. Confirm your choice by clicking Restart .
