Greetings Professionals

I am trying to install Signalfx agent on my windows machines for both 2012R2 and 2008 Datacenter servers and below is the recipe i have

windows_package ‘PerfCounterReporterInstaller-1.5.2.msi’ do
source 'file:///C:/chef/cache/cookbooks/signalfx/files/default/PerfCounterReporterInstaller-1.5.2.msi’
options '-ms’
installer_type :custom
action :install
end

template “C:\Program Files (x86)\SignalFx\PerfCounterReporter\PerfCounterReporter.exe.config” do
cookbook "signalfx"
source "PerfCounterReporter.exe.config.erb"
mode '0744’
end
#C:\Program Files (x86)\SignalFx\PerfCounterReporter\PerfCounterReporter.exe

windows_service ‘PerfCounterReporterService’ do
supports [:start, :stop, :restart]
startup_type :automatic
action :restart
end

windows_service ‘PerfHost’ do
action :restart #configure_startup
startup_type :manual
end

I could not able to replace the template file with the original ones to config the agent , below is the error i get

This is a windows error that it can't find the user to modify the file.

No mapping between account names and security IDs was done

Try removing the 'mode 0744' from the template since that doesn't make sense on windows.

template "C:\Program Files (x86)\SignalFx\PerfCounterReporter\PerfCounterReporter.exe.config" do
  cookbook "signalfx"
  source "PerfCounterReporter.exe.config.erb"
  mode '0744'
end

Do you mind opening a new discussion on this second question?

Two additional changes

  1. Don’t use the ‘chef automate’ tag, just use the normal chef tag in discourse.
  2. Format the error so that it is easier to read. See here for how to do that

sure will do that…

thank you
