UI nifi 1-16-3 not enable with processor. Error nifi-web-error-1.16.3.war

Bern — Fri, 25 Apr 2025 00:17:22 GMT

Greetings everyone, thanking you in advance for your support. I installed Nifi version 1.16.3 in cluster format, with ZooKeeper apache-zookeeper-3.6.3 separately, on a Linux AWS instance to upgrade from 1.11.4 because I need to work with a more recent API for BigQuery uploads. However, when I complete the process and launch the Nifi service, the processor bar doesn't appear in the UI. The Java version I have is: OpenJDK version "1.8.0_382" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_382-b05) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.382-b05, mixed mode). I need some guidance on this. If anyone can help, please.

@Bern

There is not enough information provided to make any suggestions yet.
Apache NiFi 1.16 is still an almost 5 year old version. I'd encourage you to use the latest 1.x release available to make sure you have all the latest bug fixes and security fixes.

The log line shared is incomplete and is also just an "INFO" level log message which is not going to tell us anything about and issue. I'd suggest looking at the logs on all the nodes for ERROR log messages.

Re-check all yoru nifi.properties file configuration (hopefully you did NOT copy the config files from your 1.11 to 1.16 but rather used your 1.11 to set the appropriate configurations in the newer config files of 1.16.

Beyond the above you'll need to inspect the a serous of Nifi thread dumps to see if the "main" thread is progressing (changing in each dump) or always has the same dump output.

Please help our community grow. If you found any of the suggestions/solutions provided helped you with solving your issue or answering your question, please take a moment to login and click "Accept as Solution" on one or more of them that helped.

Thank you,

Ok, to put it in context, we're currently using version 1.11.4, which has worked fairly well for us, but sometimes the nodes become desynchronized and won't reconnect. I restarted the cluster to fix this issue. However, now we're forced to change the version because we're uploading to BigQuery. When we run and activate the extraction processors "ExecuteSQL -> avroToJson" to release the queues, the BQ batch processor gives us this error, "Exceeded rated limit big query: too many table update operations for this table." This is because this NIFI is operating with the old version of the API, which is deprecated. GCP recommended we switch to the new API, and I understand that it's already using it since 1.16.3. Yesterday I tried it this way: OS: Cluster: 3 nodes on EC2 AWS instances, the instances are: Operating System: Amazon Linux 2 CPE OS Name: cpe:2.3:o:amazon:amazon_linux:2 Kernel: Linux 4.14.322-246.539.amzn2.x86_64 Architecture: x86-64 Nifi Productive 1. Current Nifi Version 1.11.4, with Java 1.8.0.382.b05 1.amzn2.0.1.x86_64, Apache-Zookeeper-3.6.3-bin Nifi Tested: 2. First Nifi Tested Version 1.16.3, with Java 1.8.0.382.b05 1.amzn2.0.1.x86_64, Apache-Zookeeper-3.6.3-bin 3. Second Nifi Version 1.28.1, with Java 11 Version java-11-amazon-corretto-headless, apache-zookeeper-3.6.3-bin For points 2 and 3, I created this thread. Now I'm at point 3 and I have the same problem. I inferred that it could be the Java version, but it isn't. However, I had to rollback and go back to 1.11.4, since we don't have a test environment, only a production one, and I couldn't stop the operation. It works without problems. I copied the configurations from my nodes to the others. I tried to solve but the logs did not tell me much, I only cut the most visible org.apache.nifi.web.server.jettyserver loading war ver-nar-1.16.3.nar-unpacked / nar-inf / bundled-dependencies / nifi-web-error-1.16.3.war, I checked the app, the user and the boopstrap, I did a search for error specifically for each log and nothing appeared, yesterday I checked the cluster was running with its 3 nodes and the status of nifi and they were running, also communication of the nodes was seen. To resume the subject I would have to wait for a problem to occur with the nodes to try again:
