Failure to locate 'elasticsearch.conf.erb' template

[brandocorp]

I was running through the tutorial setup on an m1.large amzn-ami-pv-2013.09.2.x86_64-ebs (ami-bba18dd2), when I encountered the following error.
I am not sure if this is an issue with the monit cookbook, or the elasticsearch::monit recipe.

Recipe: elasticsearch::monit
  * log[Making monitrc for: elasticsearch] action write

  * template[/etc/monit/conf.d/elasticsearch.conf] action create

The quick and dirty fix was to run the following:

sudo cp /var/chef-solo/cookbooks/elasticsearch/templates/default/elasticsearch{.monitrc,}.conf.erb

I'm wondering if this is not related to an older/different version of the Monit cookbook.

There's been similar issue being reported in #29, but 42db58c and other changes should have fixed that.

I'm leaning towards completely ripping out the reliance on monitrc method and just putting the file for Monit somewhere on the disk.

I will grab the cookbook versions for you, and try and do a bit of troubleshooting on the run if I have some time today.

If it helps I was following along with this guide:
http://www.elasticsearch.org/tutorials/deploying-elasticsearch-with-chef-solo/

Edit:
Looks like the bootstrap.sh script is pulling a very specific version of [email protected]. I'm going to try another run with the latest version.

[brandocorp]

This was an issue with the version of monit that was being pulled in. I updated to the latest and everything worked flawlessly. Thank you!

[karmi]

Yeah, I suspected that was it... I remember trying to use the correct version via Berkshelf integration, but maybe the tutorial is falling behind it...

Still, I think we should just drop the monitrc extension and just create the file via template and that's it. Will keep that in mind for future refactorings.

I am currently running into this issue, installed latest version of monit: 5.6 and it is still a problem. Any ideas?

[karmi]

@brupm Run from Git...

[brupm]

You mean, don’t install via apt-get install monit in the bootstrap.sh?

@brupm apt-get installs Monit itself, what I've meant is using the cookbook from Git, as the Berkshelf specifies..
