Destination /etc/monit not writable about monit HOT 7 CLOSED

Are you speaking of the latest version provided by Ubuntu or monit at all?

from monit.

I am speaking about latest version provuded by Ubuntu: 5.6

from monit.

If I set sudo: yes for the whole playbook, everything works fine, but if I specify sudo just for role:

- hosts: appservers
  roles:
    - role: ANXS.monit
      sudo: yes

the error appears.

from monit.

I started a VM based on the provided Vagrantfile and monit starts without any problem.
Also the file seems to have the correct permissions:

ls -la /etc/monit/
total 28
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Apr 16 01:41 .
drwxr-xr-x 94 root root 4096 Apr 16 01:41 ..
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 16 01:41 conf.d
-rw-------  1 root root 6402 Apr 16 01:41 monitrc
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 16 01:41 monitrc.d
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 16 01:41 templates

Did you upgraded from a previous version of monit?

from monit.

You have ansible.sudo = true set to true which is equivalent to setting sudo: yes for the whole playbook with which my case works too. The problem appears if there is no sudo: yes for the whole playbook but it is set for the role only.

from monit.

I'm not sure that sudo is expected to work that way with roles. I don't believe this is actually a bug with the ANXS.monit role.

from monit.

Houh I'm not sure if you can set sudo: yes for a specific role.
I think it should be set on a task or playbook level

from monit.
