It looks like amazon linux is not listed in the list of platfoms supported yet: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef#platforms

Taking a look at the code its being raised here: https://github.com/sensu/sensu-chef/blob/develop/recipes/_linux.rb#L69-L70 because there is no case statement for amazon, we might be able to just add amazon to rhel and fedora otherwise it needs it's own case with its own logic.

Has anyone seen any updates on this?

[majormoses]

@jeremysmitherman @mixtli I can fork and add the cases to the existing statement and let you test, if it's more effort than that right now I do not have much bandwidth.

@majormoses @jeremysmitherman I had previously committed a fix for this issue but forgot to open the PR. See #567. Note that even with the change in #567, installation on Amazon Linux is still broken as described in #560. A proposed fix for that specific issue is open in #565.

@cwjohnston ok, cool I was gonna test that. Sounds like you first need to work out the repo side.
