Description

When we install the rudder-agent, it can assume that the defaut Rudder server is named "rudder" - when policy-server.dat is non existant, techniques fallback to "rudder"
However, the generated inventory is incomplete: if policy-server.dat file is not there, then the section RUDDER/AGENT is not created on the inventory, so generated inventory is invalid

We should decide which behaviour is the right one, and be consistent

Updated by François ARMAND over 6 years ago

  • Subject changed from Inconsistent behaviour between Techniques and Inventory to When "policy-server.dat" is missing, generated inventory is not legit
  • Effort required set to Very Small
  • Priority changed from 27 to 51

We should just create the file when it's missing (with the default we want) and inventory will use it.
