NIFI and NIFI Registry service not visible in Compute Cluster Custom Service Section

Yasine — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 06:49:33 GMT

Dears,

After installing CDP Base on premise, I'm deploying NIFI services.

For this reason as recommanded, I created the Data Context and created compute cluster with two hosts and installed activated the Parcels CDH 7.1.5 by default a CFM 2.1.5, and when arriving to the Service selection (Custom Services) I don't see the NIFI services, all services belongs to the CDH parcels

How can I get them ?

Thank you in advance

@Yasine
Adding Cloudera Flow Management (CFM) to an existing CDP installation requires adding both the CFM Parcel and Cloudera Service Descriptors (CSDs).

Step one is verify CFM compatibility with your CDP deployment.
https://docs.cloudera.com/cfm/2.1.5/release-notes/topics/cfm-system-requirements.html
CFM 2.1.5 is supported on CDP Private Cloud Base versions CDP 7.1.7 (plus all Service packs) and CDP 7.1.8 only. I see you mentioned you are deploying on CDP 7.1.5, so you should upgrade to CDP 7.1.7 or newer first.

Then follow the steps for preparing your CDP Private Cloud Base environment:
https://docs.cloudera.com/cfm/2.1.5/deployment/topics/cfm-prepare-cdpdc.html

Installing the CFM Parcel:
https://docs.cloudera.com/cfm/2.1.5/deployment/topics/cfm-add-parcel-url.html

Installing the CFM CSDs:
https://docs.cloudera.com/cfm/2.1.5/deployment/topics/cfm-get-csd.html

CFM Download locations for Parcel and CSDs (there are two CSD jar files that need to be added before the NiFi and NIFi-Registry services will show in the list of available services within your CDP Private Cloud Base.
