BTW I have found out how to generate the data bag data file: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef/tree/master/examples/ssl

Can you copy the chef-stacktrace.out file? Looks like you’re passing an unexpected data type somewhere, but it’s not checked until it blows up somewhere in chef’s internals.

Hi

I am trying to use sensu with chef-solo. Chef requires a data_bag file. Unfortunately I can’t locate any info about what need to go into a data_bag file for the sensu package. I wonder if anyone can give me a pointer?

Currently I have put a file ‘mycompany.json’ in ~/.chef/data_bags/sensu/

The content of mycompany.json is just:

{
"id”:"mycompany"
}


This is the error message I am getting:
