NiFi Processor Invalid State Issues
Hi,
When using NiFi and adding a Processor (say for example in my case: PostHTTP), how do you know what the issue is when creating a processor, when its not valid? It shows the invalid icon, the log files says something like: "processor is not in a valid state", but, it does not say what the invalid state is or what property/attribute is incorrect. How can I figure this out.
For PostHTTP, it looks like I have valid settings, and believe I have a valid URL for the POST.
Any thoughts..???
Tkx,
Jim

Jim,
When you hover the mouse over the invalid icon, does it tell you anything?

Mark,
I created the keystore and truststore myself, via using keytool.
I can also wait for the updated documentation on: 'Secure Configuration section' per the prior site-to-site post...

Jim,
It sounds like the key that is in your keystore is not trusted by your
truststore.
Do you know how these keystores were generated?
Thanks

So, I throttled logging more (changed to DEBUG).
I see this error now from the ListenHTTP component:HttpConnection -> SSLException: Received fatal alert: certificate_unknown.
Again, I have a PostHTTP using a https URL and configured secure service content communication to a ListenHTTP running on the same diagram in nifi. I do also have the nifi web app running on https and configured as such....
Are their steps I need to take to make ListenHTTP component see the certs...?? ( eg: I'm kinds new to using certs).
Thanks!!!

Adding that contentListener to the URL worked like a charm, tkx!

Can you explain a bit further what you mean by "So, I created a new flow
with the ListenHTTP processor to receive the post request, but that does
not accept an http POST."?
PostHTTP and ListenHTTP really were designed to be used together (this
was the primary mechanism for sharing data between two NiFi instances
before site-to-site was created) and should integrate nicely.
When you perform the Post, though, be sure that the URL that you post to
ends with "/contentListener". I.e., if ListenHTTP and PostHTTP both are
running on the same box, you would post to
http://localhost:4444/contentListener, for instance.
Does this help at all?

Testing the Receiving of an HTTP Post with "Send As FlowFile"
Posted by Jim Reilly <ja...@yahoo.com.INVALID>.
Hi,
I have a file on disk, and use the GetFile processor to retrieve it, then use the PostHTTP processor to send it out.
I need to test this flow, before I actually send the http POST to a specified URL.
I have a test servlet that received the HTTP Post and reads that data of out the request object.
But, when I change the PostHTTP to "Send As FlowFile" (per my requirement), it does not work since the PostHTTP does some prior validation steps to see what version of flowfile to use.
Thus, my servlet does not work.
So, I created a new flow with the ListenHTTP processor to receive the post request, but that does not accept an http POST.
So, how can I test my flow of sending a file off disk, using an PostHTTP processor (per requirements)...??
Tkx,
Jim
Re: NiFi Processor Invalid State Issues

Jim,
In your browser, if you hover over the "Invalid" icon on the Processor,
it will give you a tooltip explaining why the Processor is not valid.
Thanks
