steps I took to get things working... I was trying to access cloud storage from a laptop running linux... ultimate goal was to put files from the laptop to the gcp using nifi.

1. generate a private key in JSON (https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/authentication#service_accounts)

2. private key (as json file) was loaded onto my local computer

3. made a reference to it in the configure controller service

4. loaded a file onto the gcp bucket and the action was recorded in data provenance

Hi Anand,

 

I just saw your post about NiFi to GCP. I repeated the same process and the ControllerService showed errors to me: 

 

Failed to invoke@OnEnabled method due to org.apache.nifi.reporting.InitializationException: java.io.lOException: Error reading credentials from stream, 'type' field not specified .java.io.lOException: Error reading credentials from stream, 'type' field not specified

 

Do you have 'type' field on your credentials json file? Thanks.
