Please read the last line of the log that you pasted carefully.

It reports  
can't convert String into Integer (TypeError)\n","

Are you sure that is pasted in the email is what is on disk? In that  
error log it says:  
{\"remediate-zubron\"=\>{\"occurrences\"=\>[1, 3], \"severities\"=\>[2]},  
\"trigger\_on\"=\>[\"zubron\"]} #=18 sev=2\n"]}

Which hints that there is some sort of comment ("#=18 sev=2") in the  
json file, which is not valid.

202 means remediation is reaching and executing file …

Check running that script manually there … check with permission & executing permission.

Add sensu user in Sudoer file.

Hi Imran,

I m not sure y you sensu user agent is saying ruby . With you details I really can’t help like this . Logs here which you are showing r very small part of it when ever is remi triggered it shows in uchiwa dashboard can u send snapshot of that check . And if it’s possible better let me take a look into ur demo machine then only I can check.

Thanks

Vinod NK

Just give that dir /mnt permission with below command

**chown -R sensu /mnt**

this ll resolve your prob…

thanks, it resolved the problem,

but after the remediator had triggered the script, and when I try to restart the sensu-client

Its not restarting

service sensu-client restart

configuration is valid

Timed out waiting for sensu-client to stop [FAILED]

```
                                                       [FAILED]

```

and I see the sensu-client.log is got stuck by below msg

{

```
