Remove Nodes

This topic explains how to remove any additional nodes you added to your Apache NiFi cluster in Set up Additional Nodes. You can find more information in the Apache NiFi documentation.

To remove a node

  1. Open the Apache NiFi user interface (from a node other than the one you want to remove).
  2. Open the NiFi Cluster dialog box. (Click followed by Cluster).
  3. Click Disconnect for the node that you want to remove.
  4. If the node was processing FlowFiles you can transfer those FlowFiles to the other nodes in the cluster, to prevent IDOL documents being lost. To do this, click Offload .
  5. After all of the FlowFiles have been transferred to other nodes, stop the NiFi instance on the node that you want to remove.
  6. In the NiFi Cluster dialog box, click Delete for the node that you want to remove.

    The node has been removed from the cluster.
