let me explain first how S2S works when connecting from one cluster to another cluster.
I will start with the source cluster (this would be the cluster where you are adding the Remote Process Group (RPG) to the graph). The NCM has no role in this cluster. Every Node in a cluster works independently form one another, so by adding the RPG to the graph, you have added it to every Node. So Now the behavior of each Node is the same as as it would be if it were a standalone instance with regards to S2S. The URL you are providing in that RPG would be the URL for the NCM of the target cluster (This URL is not to the S2S port of the NCM, but to the same URL you would use to access the UI of that cluster). Now each Node in your "source" cluster is communicating with the NCM of the destination cluster unaware at this time that they are communicating with a NCM. These Nodes want to send their data to the S2S port on that NCM. Now of course since the NCM does not process any data, it is not going to accept any data from those Nodes. The "destination" NCM will respond to each of the "source" Nodes with the configured nifi.remote.input.socket.host=, nifi.remote.input.socket.port=, and the status for each of those "destination" Nodes. Using that provided information, the source Nodes can logically distribute the data to our the "destination' Nodes. When S2S fails beyond the initial URL connection, there are typically on a few likely causes: 1. There is a firewall preventing communication between the source Nodes and the destination Nodes on the S2S ports. 2. No value was supplied for nifi.remote.input.socket.host= on each of the target Nodes. When no value is provided whatever the "hostname" command returns is what is sent. In many cases this hostname may end up being "localhost" or some other value that is not resolvable/reachable by the "source" systems. You can change the logging for S2S to DEBUG to see more detail about the message traffic between the "destination" NCM and the "source" nodes by adding the following lines to the logback.xml files. <logger name="org.apache.nifi.remote" level="DEBUG"/> Watch the logs on one of the source Nodes specifically to see what hostname and port is being returned for each destination Node.
