Hi @JoeDeVries,

I've found the issue - see: http://tickets.opscode.com/browse/CHEF-520 The attributes/server-monitoring.rb contains value_for_platform-logic, which shouldn't be used. I'll implement a similar way of working to the one used in php-agent.rb to set the web server's service name: a simple attribute. Any deviations can then be set via an override rather than hard-wiring/putting the logic in the cookbook.

What do you think?

Kind regards, David

Hi @JoeDeVries,

would you be able to pull down the latest version from GitHub and give that a go? I've just put a fix in place - but would like to get your feedback prior to releasing a 0.5.3-version of the community cookbook.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards, David

[JoeDeVries]

That resolved the problem. Thanks!
