``` Is there anything wrong with my config file? config.json ``` { "rabbitmq": { "host": "192.168.56.2", "port": 5671, "vhost": "/sensu", "user": "sensu", "password": "password", "ssl": { "cert_chain_file": "/etc/sensu/ssl/cert.pem", "private_key_file": "/etc/sensu/ssl/key.pem" } }, "redis": { "host": "192.168.56.2", "port": 6379 }, "api": { "host": "192.168.56.2", "bind": "0.0.0.0", "port": 4567 } } ``` client.json { “client”: { ``` "name": "Windows8", "address": "localhost", "subscriptions": ["all", "test"] ``` } I have used these config files on a linux box and the box can connect to the sensu alright. I have pinged the address 19.2168.56.2 from the windows and there is no issue. How can I fix this problem? Thanks, Tony ---

Hi Sean, The new 0.17beta1 sensu services failed too but for other reason Here is the error message in the sensu-client.err.log C:\opt\sensu\embedded\bin\ruby: No such file or directory – C:/opt/sensu/embedded/bin/sensu-client (LoadError) It also does not create any entry in the event viewers (0.14 will lodge something when it failed) Cheers, Tony
