I've recently moved my clients from one chef server to another, and now none of my nodes are checking in properly. I can manually run 'chef-client' successfully, and I do have the chef-client::default cookbook defined, yet they will not "check in".
These are Ubuntu 14.04 nodes connecting to a Chef 12 server on Ubuntu 14.04. The only difference between this server and the old one was that I've also moved to using named environments with specific cookbook versions for our own cookbooks. I haven't explicitly provided entries for the chef-client cookbook or any others since I'm fine with running the latest versions.
I can manually run chef-client without error, but I do not see any logs under /var/log/chef so I'm not sure where else to look. I even went so far as to set the chef_client::interval attribute on the environment to 1800, but still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
/var/log/chef/client.log? Or if the chef-client is running as a daemon at all?
