Doesn't work out of the box for me

[djoos]

We've replied to anaxgorous via http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/newrelic/comments - it seems that the issue is caused by custom modifications to /recipes/server-monitor.rb.

We've updated the thread at http://community.opscode.com/cookbooks/newrelic/comments - we will close the issue.

Thanks for the quick update. I've uploaded version 0.4.0 and executed it after updating my license keys:

Look like the same issue: No version specified, and no candidate version available for newrelic-sysmond

Hi @amorcomb,

thanks for your feedback. Hmmm - that is indeed the same issue you were getting before...
What OS are you running? And: what chef-client version? (chef-client --version)

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
David

This is Amazon Linux AMI instance hosted in EC2, essentially CentOS 5.

"The Amazon Linux AMI is based on RHEL 5.x and parts of RHEL6. One of our goals is binary compatibility with RHEL 5.x, and therefore CentOS5.x."

Chef: 10.16.2

Hi,

could you try adding "amazon" to line 45 of recipes/install.rb and see how that goes?

So, edit recipes/install.rb:
when "redhat", "centos", "fedora", "scientific"
...becomes...
when "redhat", "centos", "fedora", "scientific", "amazon"

Upload the cookbook to your chef server, delete your chef cache (/var/cache/chef - always good) on the client (Amazon instance) and run chef-client again.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Kind regards,
David

Brilliant! You nailed it. Just spun up an instance and executed recipe[newrelic]:

newrelic 5922 0.0 0.0 23152 348 ? Ss 20:13 0:00 /usr/sbin/nrsysmond -c /etc/newrelic/nrsysmond.cfg -p /var/run/newrelic/nrsysmond.pid
newrelic 5924 0.0 0.1 103384 2528 ? Sl 20:13 0:02 /usr/sbin/nrsysmond -c /etc/newrelic/nrsysmond.cfg -p /var/run/newrelic/nrsysmond.pid

Will you be releasing a new version with this patch? Much Thanks.

[djoos]

Great!

I'll try to add amazon support in tomorrow morning and then I'll release the updated version to the Opscode community.

Glad we got to the bottom of it!

Have a great evening!
David
