Configure a Connector
This section describes how to configure NiFi Ingest connectors.
Guided Setup
Some NiFi Ingest processors support guided setup, which guides you through setting the most common properties.
TIP: If your data flow includes multiple processors for a single repository (for example GetSharePointOData
, FetchSharePointOData
, ViewSharePointOData
, and so on) you can configure the Get*
processor and then use the guided setup feature to copy the common properties to the other processors. This can save time because you do not need to repeatedly specify common properties, such as repository URLs.
To configure a connector using guided setup
- Stop the processor, if it is running. To do this, right-click the processor and click Stop.
- Right-click the processor and click Advanced.
-
Follow the instructions in the Guided Setup tab.
In a guided setup wizard, you might see a light bulb icon
next to a configuration parameter. This indicates that the parameter has a recommended value. To see the recommended value, hover the mouse pointer over the icon. To accept the value, click the icon.
Configure All Properties
To access all connector properties, use the standard NiFi configuration dialog.
