nifi.cluster.node.protocol.port=11443 by default on all nodes, I haven’t touched that property. Yesterday, we discovered some issues preventing two of the boxes from communicating. Now, they can talk okay. Ports 11443, 2181 and 3888 are explicitly open in iptables, but clustering still doesn’t happen. The log files are filled up with errors like this:

The nifi.properties file on each node includes ‘nifi.state.management.embedded.zookeeper.start=true’, so I assume Zookeeper does start.

There is no firewall between them. When I tried to build a cluster following instructions here<https://mintopsblog.com/2017/11/12/apache-nifi-cluster-configuration/>, NiFi failed to start on all of them, despite the fact that I even set nifi.cluster.protocol.is.secure=false in the nifi.properties file on each node.

Without clustering, the instances had no problem starting. Since this is our first experiment building a cluster, I’m not sure where to look for clues. Thanks in advance, Alexander
