If you haven't already installed Nifi on the cluster, to update the Nifi service definition in Ambari on HDP 2.4 sandbox, you can follow the steps here

rm -rf /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.4/services/NIFI  

sudo git clone https://github.com/abajwa-hw/ambari-nifi-service.git   /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.4/services/NIFI   

service ambari restart

Then restart Ambari and install Nidi using 'Add service wizard' as usual

Hi, the above links contain detailed instructions on removing and adding the NiFi service again, did they work for you? Or are you trying to preserve whatever data you have in the sandbox for NiFi?

As an indication, when you are in the NiFi UI, you have an "about" link at the top-right, it should let you know which version of NiFi is running.

@Pierre Villard, Thanks. I am still running the older version 0.3.0-snapshot. As per link sent by Ali Bajwa i will try to remove the existing Nifi service and add the new one 0.6.0.

@sree balaji the ambari service does not support upgrade, so a reinstall would be needed. As Andrew mentioned, if you have already installed Nifi then you should use the instructions on the github to first remove service and Nifi installation. Then follow the instructions I provided above to update the service definition and re-install Nifi.

Hi, I am getting this error: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error. I tried to stop all the components and service but i am unable to remove the service from sandbox cluster. NIFI_MASTER is in a non-removable state, and it throws system exception saying that :could not delete component from cluster. Any help is appreciated.

If the curl request errors out with the 500 error run the below command (from same README) and then re-try the original curl request

#if above errors out, run below first to fully stop the service
curl -u admin:$PASSWORD -i -H 'X-Requested-By: ambari' -X PUT -d '{"RequestInfo": {"context" :"Stop $SERVICE via REST"}, "Body": {"ServiceInfo": {"state": "INSTALLED"}}}' http://$AMBARI_HOST:8080/api/v1/clusters/$CLUSTER/services/$SERVICE

I am facing the same issue. Did anyone have solution to resolve this issue!

I have Nifi old version service added in HDP 2.4. I followed the steps provided above

rm -rf /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.4/services/NIFI
sudo git clone https://github.com/abajwa-hw/ambari-nifi-service.git /var/lib/ambari-server/resources/stacks/HDP/2.4/services/NIFI
service ambari restart

After doing the steps, I am seeing all the services showing heart beat lost with question mark icon status!

I resolved this problem. I create a new VM hortonworks, and do not install nifi, after this, download the new version (https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua?path=/nifi/1.0.0/nifi-1.0.0-bin.zip) and use sudo sh /opt/nifi-1.0.0/bin/nifi.sh start .The problem has been resolved and nifi update has concluded.
