Stopping all flows in a deployment

Learn how to stop all flows in a Cloudera Data Flow deployment.

Stopping a flow results in the following:

  • All processors are stopped and no data processing happens within the NiFi flow.
  • KPI alerts are stopped. Your KPI alerts are activated again when the flow is restarted.
  • Any active KPI alerts are resolved.
  • All underlying cloud resources remain allocated for the Cloudera Data Flow deployment.
  • You can modify deployment configuration while flows are stopped.
  • Stopped flows are still billable however if auto-scaling is enabled for the flow, a certain amount of cost reduction may occur.
  • You must have deployed at least one flow definition in a Cloudera Data Flow deployment.
  • You must have DFFlowAdmin permission.
