Cannot manage 2008 R2 localised (french)

[jothoma1]

Description of problem

• What did you do?
  Using puppet module to manage my sensu clients
• What happened?
  On french 2008 R2, sensu-puppet failed. I have some errors :

Could not find group Administrators
(for this one, on a french 2008 R2, it should be Administrateurs

/Stage[main]/Sensu::Package/File[C:/opt/sensu/plugins]: Could not evaluate: Puppet::Util::Log requires a message

• What did you expect to happen?
  Installing sensu clients and managing them
• How can someone reproduce the problem?
  Try to deploy sensu on a french 2008 R2 with puppet

Command used and debugging output

• What does your puppet config look like (including any hiera config)
• Is this a masterless or master based puppet setup?

Thank you for this great bug report! I do not have access to Windows 2008 R2 in French. Could you please try changing this line

https://github.com/sensu/sensu-puppet/blob/master/manifests/init.pp#L700

from

$group = 'Administrators'

to

$group = 'Administrateurs'

and reporting back here to see if that fixed it. If so, we can easily solve this for you by making owner/group parameters of the sensu class.

Hi,
Yes it's working when i change to $group = 'Administrateurs'
I have a lot of sensu clients, some are 2012 R2 in english, some are 2008 R2 in french...
Now the "french" ones work but not the "english" ones
Thanks in advance !

@jothoma1 is there a fact that can reveal what's the language used on the system?

[ghoneycutt]

@alvagante instead of making an exception for the french language, let's just expose user and group as parameters with the defaults that we currently use in the code. Then the end users can change the group as they please.
