Topic display always errors out

[jiminoc]

got latest, and connected to the play app. I added a couple ZK hosts and they say "connected" in the zookeeper list page.

When l click on brokers, after 5 seconds I get an error in the play console

! @6jd9k2m2f - Internal server error, for (GET) [/topics.json] ->

are there any timeouts I can tweak? any other pointers?
