How to Use Ansible to start Nifi Service

To use Ansible to start the Nifi service, you can use the Ansible service module. Here’s an example playbook that starts the Nifi service:

- name: Start Nifi service
hosts: nifi_server
become: true
tasks:
- name: Start Nifi service
service:
name: nifi
state: started

In this playbook, we use the service module to start the Nifi service. The name parameter specifies the name of the service, which is nifi in this case. The state parameter is set to started , which instructs Ansible to start the service if it is not already running.

You can save this playbook to a file, for example, start_nifi.yml , and run it with the following command:

ansible-playbook start_nifi.yml

Make sure to replace nifi_server with the hostname or IP address of the server where Nifi is installed. Also, ensure that Ansible is properly configured to connect to the server using SSH or another supported method.
