Nifi site to site over proxy beginner question

Hi,

I have been trying to setup nifi site to site via our web proxy, but am having issues. I have reviewed the documentation, but can't get past the files we want to transfer sitting in the queue. My client side setup is relatively simple:

-A GETFILE processor that monitors a local directory on the server

-A Nifi Flow via a Remote Process Group connection to the remote nifi.

The Remote processor group is configured to hit our proxy using http on port 8080. When configured, it picks up the Input of the remote connection in the Remote Group at http://remoteserver.org:9090/nifi

So the connectivity seems to be there, but the files simply sit in the queued state and never try to use the remote connection.

Am I missing a step on the client side (maybe an output processor)? Is there something I can have the remote side admin check to enable data flow?

Sorry for the beginner question, but I just can't seem to find the answer after a day of searching.

Roger

issue is resolved. We had to set the nifi remote hostname to the name of the ec2 instance in the nifi properites on the server side. Once we did that, files left the queue and transferred.
