+== Overview
+The NiFi Toolkit contains several command line utilities to setup and
support NiFi in standalone and clustered environments. The utilities include:
+
+* CLI -- The `cli` tool enables administrators to interact with NiFi and
NiFi Registry instances to automate tasks such as deploying versioned flows and
managing process groups and cluster nodes.
+* Encrypt Config -- The `encrypt-config` tool encrypts the sensitive keys
in the _nifi.properties_ file to facilitate the setup of a secure NiFi instance.
+* File Manager -- The `file-manager` tool enables administrators to
backup, install or restore a NiFi installation from backup.
+* Flow Analyzer -- The `flow-analyzer` tool produces a report that helps
administrators understand the max amount of data which can be stored in
backpressure for a given flow.
+* Node Manager -- The `node-manager` tool enables administrators to
perform status checks on nodes as well as the ability to connect, disconnect,
or remove nodes from the cluster.
+* Notify -- The `notify` tool enables administrators to send bulletins to
the NiFi UI.
+* S2S -- The `s2s` tool enables administrators to send data into or out of
NiFi flows over site-to-site.
+* TLS Toolkit -- The `tls-toolkit` utility generates the required
keystores, truststore, and relevant configuration files to facilitate the setup
of a secure NiFi instance.
+* ZooKeeper Migrator -- The `zk-migrator` tool enables administrators to:
+** move ZooKeeper information from one ZooKeeper cluster to another
+** migrate ZooKeeper node ownership
+
+The utilities are executed with scripts found in the `bin` folder of your
NiFi Toolkit installation.
+
+NOTE: The NiFi Toolkit is downloaded separately from NiFi (see the
link:https://nifi.apache.org/download.html[Apache NiFi downloads page^]).
+
+=== Prerequisites for Running in a Secure Environment
+For secured nodes and clusters, two policies should be configured in
advance:
+
+* Access the controller – A user that will have access to these utilities
should be authorized in NiFi by creating an “access the controller” policy
(`/controller`) with both view and modify rights
+* Proxy user request – If not previously set, node’s identity (the DN
value of the node’s certificate) should be authorized to proxy requests on
behalf of a user
+
+When executing either the Notify or Node Manager tools in a secured
environment the `proxyDN` flag option should be used in order to properly
identify the user that was authorized to execute these commands. In non-secure
environments, or if running the status operation on the Node Manager tool, the
flag is ignored.
+
+== NiFi CLI
+This tool offers a CLI focused on interacting with NiFi and NiFi Registry
in order to automate tasks, such as deploying flows from a NIFi Registy to a
NiFi instance or managing process groups and cluster nodes.
+
+=== Usage
+The CLI toolkit can be executed in standalone mode to execute a single
command, or interactive mode to enter an interactive shell.
+
+To execute a single command:
+
+ ./bin/cli.sh <command> <args>
+
+To launch the interactive shell:
+
+ ./bin/cli.sh
+
+To show help:
+
+ cli.sh -h
