Install NiFi

If you haven't already done so, install NiFi. For information on installing NiFi, see NiFi Command Line Installation.

[Important]Important

Squid and Nifi must be installed on the same server. NiFi cannot read the local files on another server, so they must be colocated.

NiFi is built to automate the flow of data between systems. As a result, NiFi works well to collect, ingest, and push data to HCP.

[Important]Important

NiFi cannot be installed on top of HDP, so you must install NiFi manually to use it with HCP.

[Note]Note

Ensure that the NiFi web application is using port 8089.

The port number is stored in /usr/lib/nifi<version number>/conf/nifi.properties.
