"Parma": Debugging Terraform Issues

Scenario: "Parma": Debugging Terraform Issues

Level: Medium

Type: Fix

Access: Email

Description: This host publishes a machine-readable status marker using Terraform with a local backend. The project lives in /home/admin/infra/ and should write /var/local/platform-status.txt.

After a refactor, terraform plan and terraform apply no longer succeed, and the status file is missing or stale.

Fix the Terraform project and apply it so the marker is published again.

(Note: Internet access is not needed).

Test: The first line of /var/local/platform-status.txt is SadServers - Parma OK.

Running terraform plan in /home/admin/infra/ reports no changes pending (clean state).

The "Check My Solution" button runs the script /home/admin/agent/check.sh, which you can see and execute.

Time to Solve: 20 minutes.
