Alfredo There are quite a few details that will be needed to help folks guess at possible issues.
Configuration of the machine running nifi how many cores?, etc.. Configuration of nifi you shared common properties from nifi.properties which is good. how many threads does the flow controller have? how many processors are on the graph? How many threads does ListSFTP have? Is this a NiFi cluster or single node? Loading of the system running nifi cpu load avg garbage collection behavior in the jVM? Loading of nifi how many threads does nifi show are running? Similar info for the SFTP server side System error 4 could mean a lot of things. Is that system taxed and unable to establish connections at times? How often does the problem happen? How often does the connection/flow work? Have you tried manually connecting the way nifi would by running commands like 'sftp u...@host.sftp.server -vvv' repeatedly to see if you can reproduce the issue? Does a file system get mounted for the sftp user and periodically is this failing? Unfortunately it could be a lot of things so we'll probably need to unpack a lot of info to get there.
