Upstart changes not working on Ubuntu 12.04

[arminbauer]

It seems that start_command is missing:

Error executing action start on resource 'service[logstash_agent]'

Chef::Exceptions::Service

Chef::Provider::Service::Upstart:0x00000003c3e260 requires that start_command be set

Resource Declaration:

In /var/cache/chef-client/cookbooks/logstash/recipes/agent.rb

58: end
59: service "logstash_agent" do
60: provider Chef::Provider::Service::Upstart
61: action [ :enable, :start ]
62: end
63: else

Compiled Resource:

Declared in /var/cache/chef-client/cookbooks/logstash/recipes/agent.rb:59:in `from_file'

service("logstash_agent") do
provider Chef::Provider::Service::Upstart

Can you please post the contents of your `/etc/init/logstash_agent.conf"?

[arminbauer]

Shouldnt it be enough to specify something like:

  restart_command "restart logstash_agent"
  stop_command "stop logstash_agent"
  start_command "start logstash_agent"

Unfortunately, I dont have this file available right now since we reverted to an older version of the logstash agent since we need it running at the moment

The following line should give you that automatically:

I believe this is a bug with the current Chef 10.14.0 release candidate and likely previously released betas as well. It should be fixed here:

@arminbauer can you confirm this is still an issue?

[sciurus]

This is definitely working now.
