issue is intermittent.

@vj actually it looks like both 2.3.5 and 2.4.0 are intermittently broken
we've had four instances of 2.3.5 break in the past two days
i think i'm the only one who tested 2.4.0 so far, also fails
what's really odd is it's intermittent 
we haven't tracked down what is choking up the data collector

do you have a sample role you’re using so we can try to reproduce?  is it always on the same certain profiles?

so with the one i just did upgraded to 2.4.0, ran chef client over, still no data.
spun up a fresh environment, worked out of the box
they are bit-for-bit identical

scar-pto-in-nyc [1:12 PM] 
i suspect some kind of variable data
a date stamp or random number perhaps
is sneaking into the data stream
or i could just be talking out of my butt, i have no idea
thats where we could use some help

Sean, my research showed no issue in the audit cookbook here.
I added more details in the internal ticket(CMP-166), but this issue is related to ElasticSearch missing our defined mapping for index insights-2017.03.10.
