hi @nzr ytmn When you are creating a process group, you usually provide a name for it. In the API results that come back from the /process-groups/root/ call, you could look for your name, and that would provide you with the process group ID associated with it. I just created a process group in NiFi and named it "TestTemplate". I then uploaded a template from my hard drive into the process group, and made the API call. The API results show this snippet: {"id":"e6318a1e-015c-1000-ffff-ffffe7e2554b","name":"TestTemplate", .... } As extra validation, if I go to the NiFi UI, I can see my process group and validate that the ID matches. Therefore I think you can use the API call I suggested above if I've understood your scenario correctly. screen-shot-2017-08-10-at-94635-am.png ... View more

Hi @Allan Ferguson I just installed the Azure 2.5 Sandbox. You must make sure you are the root user (or a sudo user) to see within the /root dir. When you login using your regular account (in my case, my username is 'azure'), you can see in the screenshot that I sudo to the superuser account and then can list the directory and see the dir and scripts. screen-shot-2017-08-03-at-93123-am.png ...
