Andrew,
Thanks for writing. _Nifi:_ nifi-0.6.1 _Kafka:_ kafka_2.11-0.10.0.0 startup with no changes to configs: # Kafka: bin/zookeeper-server-start.sh config/zookeeper.properties & bin/kafka-server-start.sh config/server.properties & # # create a topic # bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test [...] _Nifi's zookeeper.properties:_ clientPort=2181 initLimit=10 autopurge.purgeInterval=24 syncLimit=5 tickTime=2000 dataDir=./state/zookeeper autopurge.snapRetainCount=30 # # server.1=nifi-node1-hostname:2888:3888 # server.2=nifi-node2-hostname:2888:3888 # server.3=nifi-node3-hostname:2888:3888 # **server.1= ** ^^^^^^ Even though I have: _nifi.state.management.embedded.zookeeper.start=**false** _ I filled in the above setting... changing it to: **server.1=localhost:2888:3888 ** ...which made no difference, of course... Any thoughts? Thanks! [pat](http://about.me/PatTrainor) ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) On Jun 11 2016, at 12:17 pm, Andrew Grande <apere...@gmail.com> wrote: > Pat, which NiFi version is that?
