Changing Handler type fails with 'keys' error

[magmax]

I have the configuration:

sensu::handler{'whatever':
  type => 'pipe',
  command => 'whatever',
  socket => {
    host => 'whatever',
    port => 12345
  },
}

I run puppet and I realize there is an error: the type. I fix it, but when I run puppet again it returns:

Error: undefined method `keys' for nil:NilClass
Error: /Stage[main]/Sensu_plugins::Handler/Sensu::Handler[whatever]/Sensu_handler[whatever]: Could not evaluate: Puppet::Util::Log requires a message

And puppet do not work again.

Bypass: remove the handler, run puppet, and write it again.

When I apply

class { 'sensu': }
sensu::handler{'whatever':
  type => 'pipe',
  command => 'whatever',
  socket => {
    host => 'whatever',
    port => 12345
  },
}

to a clean machine I don't get any errors. Could you provide some more details as to what is generating the error you're seeing?

[magmax]

The problem appears when you apply the type "pipe" to a machine and then you try to change it to "tcp".

I've also run into this bug.

If I have a handler defined that deploys the following:

{
  "handlers": {
    "graphite": {
      "command": null,
      "type": "tcp",
      "socket": {
        "host": "graphite",
        "port": 8126
      },
      "severities": [
        "ok",
        "warning",
        "critical",
        "unknown"
      ]
    }
  }
}

and then change the definition to deploy:

{
  "handlers": {
    "graphite": {
      "command": null,
      "type": "set",
      "severities": [
        "ok",
        "warning",
        "critical",
        "unknown"
      ],
      "handlers": [
        "relay",
        "graphite_to_influxdb"
      ]
    }
  }
}

I get:

Error: undefined method `sort' for nil:NilClass
Error: /Stage[main]/Sensu/Sensu::Handler[graphite]/Sensu_handler[graphite]/handlers: change from  to relay graphite_to_influxdb failed: undefined method `sort' for nil:NilClass

Is this still an issue? Will close in ~2 weeks if we have no response.

[roobert]

I think this is probably still an issue but have no way to test at the moment..

[jaxxstorm]

I think this is related to #531

[jaxxstorm]

#531 was merged, so closing this
