Hi Patrick. There are generally two approaches to sending data between nifi instances...
- The sending instance brings data to a remote process group which is pointing at the receiving nifi, the receiving nifi has an input port to receive the data - The sending instance brings data to an output port, and the receiving instance has a remote process group pointing at the output port of the sending instance Basically push vs. pull. Either approach will work, but the advantage of the first approach (pushing) is that the sending nifi is deciding where to send its data, as opposed to data waiting at an output port for anyone to consume. You can add a remote process group from the top menu, and you will be prompted to enter the url location of the remote nifi. Let us know if you have any questions getting this to work. -Bryan On Thu, Jul 30, 2015 at 2:07 PM, plj <p...@mitre.org> wrote: > Howdy > > I'm trying to send files between 2 nifi instances on different computers. > I read a bunch of files, they are sitting in the Q.
