Make sure you include your Takipi secret key as custom Chef JSON, the following example will install standalone agent, with oneliner installer instead package installation:
{
"takipi": {
"secret_key": "YOUR SECRET KEY",
"machine_name": "",
"use_fpm": "false",
"installer_url": "http://get.takipi.com",
"installation_parameters": ""
}
}
Or in the default attributes file:
default["takipi"]["secret_key"] = "YOUR SECRET KEY HERE"

On-premises users must change installer_url to their respectful server host which usually looks like this
"installer_url": "http://<HOST>:8080/app/download?t=inst"
Installing only the agent (to be used with a remote collector)
"installation_parameters": "--daemon_host=<COLLECTOR_IP> --daemon_port=<COLLECTOR_PORT>"
