I am running MiNiFi in a Linux Box (gateway server) which is behind my company's firewall. My NiFi is running on an AWS EC2 cluster (running in standalone mode).
I am trying to send data from the Gateway to NiFi running in AWS EC2.
From gateway, I am able to telnet to EC2 node with the public DNS and the remote port which I have configured in the nifi.properties file
nifi.properties
# Site to Site properties
nifi.remote.input.host=ec2-xxx.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com
nifi.remote.input.secure=false
nifi.remote.input.socket.port=1026
nifi.remote.input.http.enabled=true
nifi.remote.input.http.transaction.ttl=30 sec
nifi.remote.contents.cache.expiration=30 secs
Telnet connection from Gateway to NiFi
iot1@iothdp02:~/minifi/minifi-0.5.0/conf$ telnet ec2-xxx.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com 1026
Trying xx.xx.xx.xxx...
Connected to ec2-xxx.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
The Public DNS is resolving to the correct Public IP of the EC2 node.
From the EC2 node, when I do nslookup on the Public DNS, it gives back the private IP. From AWS Documentation: "The public IP address is mapped to the primary private IP address through network address translation (NAT). "
Hence, I am not adding the Public DNS and the Public IP in /etc/host file in the EC2 node.
From MiNiFi side, I am getting the below error:
minifi-app.log
