Empty Automate 2+Embedded Chef Server Event Feed

[sean-horn]

Automate Event Feed has always been empty since we installed Automate 2 from the following version with an embedded Chef Server enabled.

--

root@chef-automate:/home/ubuntu# chef-automate version
Version: 2
  CLI Build: 20210309055746
  Server Build: 20210406040048

To Reproduce

1. Install Automate 2 at version 20210406040048 through 20210420090302 with an embedded Chef Server configured and running
2. Do any activity on the chef server that would normally result in actions showing up in the Automate 2 Event Feed. knife client create, chef push POLICY_GROUP Policyfile.rb, knife cookbook upload COOKBOOK_NAME, etc. No actions show up in the Event Feed

Expected behavior

Client creations, cookbook creations/updates, all of these show in the event feed

Actual behavior

None of the expected chef server activity shows up in the Automate 2 Event Feed

Additional context

This patch is missing from the most recent Automate 2 releases, at least since March. #4082

When I manually apply the changes in the sys.config and default.toml and restart, actions begin appearing in the Event Feed of a 20210420.... Automate 2 install with embedded Chef Server.

Looks like these were removed from the code in #4487 - not sure that it was intentional though -- @PrajaktaPurohit
