Sensu 0.27 should be the default version

[cwjohnston]

Expected Behavior

The cookbook should install the latest version of Sensu Core (0.27 as of this writing).

Current Behavior

Because installing Sensu Core 0.27 requires changes to the package repository configuration, the cookbook currently cannot install versions newer than 0.26.5.

Possible Solution

1. Update default version to 0.27.0-2 or newer
2. Remove support for init_style on sensu_service resources (see #530 , breaking change).

Your Environment

• Version of this cookbook used: 3.2.0

Hi, I try to update the sensu package on CentOS 7, but I received this error:

In CentOS 6 it's ok. Any idea how to solve this problem?

Hi @betorvs,

I think you're encountering this because we now ship systemd unit files in the packages for Centos 7, but the cookbook is still trying to use the Chef::Provider::Service::Redhat provider to manage the service.

We've merged a change in #534 which addresses this condition, and we're planning to include that change in the upcoming 4.0 release of this cookbook.

Ah, so this breaks amazon linux support, then. Amazon linux does not use systemd, yet does self-identify as EL7.
