@siddhu07 The error you're receiving indicates that there were no InSpec profiles configured to run so no report was generated. I'm afraid without any additional details, it's difficult to determine where the problem lies.

Can you please share additional information about how you configured the audit cookbook? What node attributes did you set?

[siddhu07]

@adamleff i have updated my question. i just downloaded audit cookbook from supermarket and tried to bootstrap. And i tried other way, just created a cookbook added "depends audit" in metadata.rb and edited recipe, and tried to bootstrap. both failed

I still do not have output or information to be able to properly help you. I would suggest trying a non-compliance endpoint, such as perhaps:

{
  name: 'linux-baseline',
  url: 'https://github.com/dev-sec/linux-baseline/archive/master.tar.gz'
}

... to perhaps rule out an issue with the way your Chef Server / Chef Automate is set up.

Please also run chef-client in debug mode (chef-client -l debug) and create a gist at gist.github.com with the output so we can see exactly what's going on.

Also, if you are a Chef customer, I would strongly encourage you to log an issue with support so you get more personalized support. We cannot guarantee SLAs on GitHub issues, but we still want you to be successful. Please reach out to support if you are indeed a customer.
