It appears it's not able to find the Process Group ID that you've
specified. When this happens the REST API will attempt to create the
Process Group and it's failing to do that. I'm thinking that's it hasn't
successfully interpreted the request body as you appear to be setting the
ID. Here's an example of the message body that I'm running locally...
'{"processGroup":{"id":"403dc272-dd9c-4173-aeb1-09ecf4eee514","running":true},"revision":{"version":0,"clientId":"2eab0b62-c2fe-4ad7-8189-161dc44a0eba"}}'
Another thing you could try is to open up your browser's Developer Tools.
If you issue the requet using the UI, you should be able to see it in the
Developer Tools Network tab. From there some (Chrome) even offers a 'Copy a
cUrl' menu item.
