Update Gohai skill override settings

To update override settings for the Gohai skill, follow these steps:

Create a JSON file that defines the skill’s settings:

{
  "skillName":"chef-gohai",
  "settings":[
    {
      "name":"log_level",
      "value":"info"
    },
    {
      "name":"log_file_path",
      "value":"/hab/svc/chef-gohai/logs/logs.log"
    },
    {
      "name":"log_to_file",
      "value": true
    },
    {
      "name":"log_to_stdout",
      "value": false
    },
    {
      "name":"poll_interval",
      "value":"3600s"
    },
    {
      "name":"max_size",
      "value":"100MB"
    },
    {
      "name":"retention_days",
      "value":"7"
    },
    {
      "name":"is_log_retention",
      "value":"true"
    }
  ]
}

Modify the JSON file using the following setting descriptions:
log_level
Sets the logging verbosity level.
Default: "info"
Valid values: "debug", "info", "warn", "error"
log_file_path
Specifies the file path where logs should be written when "log_to_file" is enabled.
Default: "/hab/svc/chef-gohai/logs/logs.log"
log_to_file
Controls whether log messages are written to a log file.
Default: true
log_to_stdout
Controls whether log messages are written to standard output (console).
Default: false
poll_interval
Specifies how frequently chef-gohai collects and sends system data to Chef 360 Platform.
Default: "1800s" (30 minutes)
Supported units: s (seconds), m (minutes), h (hours)
Examples:
- "1s" - Send data every 1 second
- "5m" - Send data every 5 minutes
- "1h" - Send data every 1 hour
max_size
Maximum size limit for individual log files before rotation.
Default: "100MB"
retention_days
Number of days to retain log files before deletion.
Default: "7"
is_log_retention
Enables or disables automatic log file retention and cleanup.
Default: "true"

Get the override settings ID with the find-all-settings command:

chef-node-management-cli management setting find-all-settings \
  --profile <PROFILE_NAME>

Update the Gohai skill’s override settings with the update-skillSettings subcommand:

chef-node-management-cli management setting update-skillSettings \
  --skillName chef-gohai \
  --settingId <SETTING_ID> \
  --body-file <PATH_TO_JSON_FILE> \
  --profile <NODE_MANAGER_PROFILE_NAME>

The response is similar to the following:

{
    "item": {
        "settingId": "31e1b6f2-3044-49f9-96b9-335672c140b7"
    }
}

Optional: After you’ve updated the override settings, you have to assign them to a node cohort before the settings are updated on nodes. To update a cohort with these settings, use the cohort assign-setting command:
```
chef-node-management-cli management cohort assign-setting \
  --settingId <settingId> \
  --cohortId <COHORT_ID> \
  --profile <NODE_MANAGER_PROFILE_NAME>
```
