chef: Getting non-fatal 400 posting to capture endpoint during initial converge in bootstrap

Description

While doing knife bootstrap it gives following error ERROR: Failed to post reporting data to server (HTTP 400), saving to c:/chef/cache/failed-reporting-data.json

This does not affect the bootstrap process though. This probably should be the 404 error as I don’t have any reporting enabled and there is no any configuration for Automate 2 also in my config file. It’s a simple bootstrap.

Chef Version

Latest Chef 15 version

Platform Version

Windows-2012R2

Replication Case

Just run any knife bootstrap command and use latest Chef 15 release version for bootstrap.

knife bootstrap ec2-54-185-185-29.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com -o winrm --node-name vj-winrmssl --connection-user 'Administrator' --connection-password 'password' --connection-port 5986 --winrm-auth-method 'ssl' -c ~/workspace/chef-repo/.chef/knife.rb --bootstrap-version '15.0.293' --winrm-ssl -r 'recipe[windows_task::default]' --winrm-ssl-peer-fingerprint '<certificate-thumbpring>' -E developement -VV
