@MattWho  As per your guidance firstly I have taken TailFile processor and configured as below  Next taken PostHTTP processor with below Configurations,in the PostHTTP url used is server hostname and port number because MiNiFi is running on this server and NiFi is running on localhost .correct me if I am wrong here.     Nextly I have taken ListenHTTP and configured the listening port as the server port number where MiNiFi is running which is provided in PostHTTP.as below         Eneded the data flow here as per your guidance ,when I ran TailFile processor it picked the log file and next when started PostHTTP processor it throwed below error          Could you guide me whether my data flow is correct,if it is wrong what needs to be changed  to execute the remote file.

@MattWho As I understand it now, your use case is to tail a file located on a different server from where NiFi or MiNiFi is installed. Correct? _--------yes you are correct ,MiNiFi is installed in server where NiFi is running in my local machine. Neither NiFi or MiNiFi can tail a log file located on another server.  The TailFile processor can only tail files local to the same server on which NiFi or MiNiFi is running. So MiNiFi would need to be installed on the server where the log file exists in order to tail that file.  MiNiFi installed on that server would then be able to transfer the generated Flow File over the network to your NiFi running on your local machine_---------- what you said here is exactly I required.  Installed MiNiFi in server and NiFi in local machine I want to tail files from server to local . So please provide me the clear steps of how to tail files from server to local . Thank you, Sartha. ... View more

Thanks @MattWho for your response 2. The TailFile has been configured to tail some log file(s) on the remote server.  I see you said you configured it to tail nifi-app.log; however, MiNiFi does not have a nifi-app.log?_-------as you said is correct minifi does not have nifi-app.log,here my case is I want to read log files presented in nifi not from minifi so provided file to tail path as nifi-app.log. 3. The Remote Process Group (RPG) will be used to send the FlowFiles generated by the tailFile processor to your NiFi instance over the network.  I see you configured the RPG with an http url.  Is your NiFi install running over http or https?  Out-of-the-box apache NiFi runs secured over https.  So did you remove that security so it is running un-secure over http?  If not the RPG is not going to be able to connect to your NiFi.  If you want to keep your NiFi secured, you will need to configure your MiNiFi with a proper keystore and truststore that can be used to facilitate a mutual TLS connection with your secured NiFi.   If MiNiFi is on a different server then your NiFi, "localhost" is not going to work.  If it is on same server, what is the point of using MiNiFi?_-------my nifi install is running over http. ---->I followed Apache MiNiFi administration Guide ,but still it doesn't worked 1.Nifi is running on localhost and minifi is installed on server . 2.my task is how to read remote files in Nifi??----- could you please provide me solution for this it would be helpful   Even my task is also similar as you provided solution earlier to one question "Pull logs from a remote server to nifi" Please provide me clear steps of processor flow with configuration of every processor in detail     ...
