Installing Support Libraries on NiFi Nodes

kellerj — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:48:23 GMT

Good morning,

I was hoping someone would know if there is a supported method for installing additional libraries onto the NiFi nodes from Cloudera Manager. For example, I need to include the Oracle JDBC driver JAR on each server so it can be referenced in the controller services.

I know I can load files onto the servers via server deployment tools, but I was hoping there was a way to deploy additional library files to the cluster via the manager tool as part of the configuration. (Especially as these files may need to be updated over time, and I would rather not run the scripts which impact the server at a lower level.)

Thanks.

Any config files or supported jar needed by processors or controllers in NiFi can not be automated or managed by Cloudera Manager.

Disappointing, but what I was starting to suspect after going through CM's console. Is there general guidance on including those types of files to the NiFi nodes?
