How do I stop a NiFi role on a single host?

[#1]

I can stop all role instances...

curl -v -k -u me:$pass -X POST "https://host.domain:7183/api/v54/clusters/cluster1/services/NIFI/roleCommands/stop" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"items\": [ \"NIFI_NODE1\", \"NIFI_NODE2\" ]}"

...but not the role on NIFI_NODE1 only. I am trying to write a script which detects that a node has disconnected, stops the role on that host, moves the flow.xml and flow.json and then restarts the role on that host.

Is there anything that lets me stop and start a role on a single host?

Hello @EFasdfSDfaSDFG 

Thank you for reaching out to Cloudera Commnuity

Yes stopping a particular role is possible. Please try the below steps

Please get the roles running on a particular host using the following endpoint

https://FQDN_CLUSTER:7183/api/v48/hosts/<host-uuid>?view=FULL

Replace host FQDN and Cluster UUID above and now copy the exact role name

For eg>> 

    "clusterName" : "Cluster 1",
    "serviceName" : "SOLR-1",
    "roleName" : "SOLR-1-SOLR_SERVER-edf000ebd88d4bc569416c779527523d",
    "healthSummary" : "CONCERNING",
    "roleStatus" : "STARTED"

Then stop using the below API

curl -X POST "https://<CLuster-FQND>:7183/api/v57/clusters/<Cluster-name>/services/SOLR-1/roleCommands/stop" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"items\": [ \"SOLR-1-SOLR_SERVER-edf000ebd88d4bc569416c779527523d\" ]}"

Thank you, that's awesome. I wasn't escaping the JSON correctly.

This works for me:

/api/v54/clusters/cluster1/services/NIFI/roleCommands/stop" -H "accept: application/json" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d "{ \"items\": [ \"NIFI_NODE1\"]}"
