Re: Nifi taking forever to start

I'm not sure piggy-backing on the host entropy will work reliably. I have seen this issue in ec2, openstack boxes, etc. A newly spun up box will exhibit this issue often. Andrew On Wed, Feb 15, 2017, 10:09 AM Bryan Rosander wrote: > Hey Arnaud, > > Andy's solution is

Re: Nifi taking forever to start

Hey Arnaud, Andy's solution is definitely the right answer for Java applications in general (on docker or in vm or anywhere with more limited entropy). A more general way to take care of entropy issues in docker containers (applicable beyond NiFi) is to mount the host's /dev/random or

Re: Nifi taking forever to start

Hi Andy, Thank you very much, and indeed it seems that you pointed the right problem. The docker is running in a VM and it seems that I had a lack of entroy. I changed the entropy source to /dev/urandom and Nifi was able to start immediately. Thank you very much for your help Arnaud On Wed,

Re: Nifi taking forever to start

If this is not the issue, can you try starting NiFi and then run the following command to generate a thread dump and provide that to the lists? It will greatly help us determine the issue you are encountering. Thanks. $ jcmd Thread.print or $ ./bin/nifi.sh dump filewithdump.txt Andy LoPresto

Re: Nifi taking forever to start

Hi Arnaud, I’m sorry you are having trouble getting NiFi going. We want to minimize any inconvenience and get you up and running quickly. Are you by any chance running on a VM that does not have access to any physical inputs to generate entropy for secure random seeding? There is a known issue

Nifi taking forever to start

Hi guys! I'm trying to play with nifi (1.1.1) in a docker image. I tried different configuration (cluster, single node, secured, etc.), however whatever I try, Nifi takes forever to start (like 30-45 minutes). This not related to data as I observe this behavior even when I instantiate the docker
