Thanks for the extra details. So it is the endpoint for loading the group
which contains the necessary configuration and statistics to generate the
graph. Can you try enabling DEBUG level logging for this package in your
conf/logback.xml?

org.apache.nifi.web.api.config

Does navigating into this Process Group still work in your 1.0.0
installation? Do you know if there is anything unique about the contents of
that group? I'm just trying to find something that might help point us in
the correct direction so we can figure out a work around and get the issue
addressed for upcoming releases.

Thanks

Matt
