Re: Could not load requested further augments from file

The docs might be a bit 
imprecise. https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.24/reference-language-concepts-augments.html 
says in two separate notes:


   - CFEngine variables are *not* expanded unless otherwise noted.


   - sys 
   <https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.24/reference-special-variables-sys.html> variables 
   are expanded in def.json and all subsequently loaded augments as 
   specified by the augments 
   <https://docs.cfengine.com/docs/3.24/reference-language-concepts-augments.html#augments>
    key.

I did a little test and it does seem your def.network and sys variables 
should both be expanded so I wonder if it is an access or selinux issue?

Maybe check /var/log/audit/audit.log for cf-serverd related entries?

My test:

$ cat def.json 

{

  "vars": {

    "foo": "${def.jq}",

    "bar": "baz"

  }

}


$ cat t.cf 

bundle agent main

{

  reports:

 "foo is ${default:def.foo}";

 "bar is ${default:def.bar}";

 "def.jq is ${def.jq}";

}


result:

R: foo is jq --compact-output --monochrome-output --ascii-output 
--unbuffered --sort-keys

R: bar is baz

R: def.jq is jq --compact-output --monochrome-output --ascii-output 
--unbuffered --sort-keys
