Hi Aldrin,

Here are the property settings:

# Site to Site properties
nifi.remote.input.socket.port=8081
nifi.remote.input.secure=false

Referencing remote node via http://<IP>:8081/nifi<http://%3cIP%3e:8081/nifi> 
(not the UI address, but the separate site-to-site listener, which I see via 
netstat on target node)

"magic header" not present

Rick,

Welcome to the community!

We seem to be a little short in the documentation department for how to make 
use of Remote Process Groups, but will look to remedy that.

Just to confirm a few settings, both your nodes have a 
nifi.remote.input.socket.port set and each has nifi.remote.input.secure set to 
false within your nifi.properties.

From here, are you referencing the remote node via its UI address?  Out of the 
box, this would be <server FQDN/IP>:8080/nifi

Thanks,
Aldrin

Hi,

I’m new to NiFi, trying to get my first Remote Process Group configured and 
working between two CentOS nodes.  For expediency, I have configured 
site-to-site port to 8081 and set secure to false (to avoid dealing with SSL 
certificate setup for now – will get to that later).

Trying to get two nodes to communicate using Remote Process Group.  Google is 
not finding any useful examples of how to set this up and get it to work, so 
kind of fumbling through it today (learning a lot, but slow going).

I found the nifil-app.log file and why the Remote Process Group is failing to 
connect to the second node.  Not sure why the “Magic Header” isn’t right, but 
connections are being closed and getting Read Timeouts on the RPG sending node 
– the receiving NiFi node is closing the connection because it thinks the 
sender isn’t a valid NiFi node due to missing/incorrect magic header.

2015-08-15 13:28:08,939 ERROR [Site-to-Site Worker Thread-27] 
o.a.nifi.remote.SocketRemoteSiteListener Unable to communicate with remote 
instance null due to org.apache.nifi.remote.exception.HandshakeException: 
Handshake with nifi://SoftNAS-RGB1:57336 failed because the Magic Header was 
not present; closing connection

Not sure where to go from here to resolve this.

Rick
