Something is failing in overriding node data. The answer: use node.override instead of node.set

environment.json

{
  "override_attributes": {
    "nagios": {
      "virtual_hosts": {
        "recrec": {
          "elb_health": {
            "name": "",
            "pagerduty": {
              "path": "non-critical"
            }
          },
          "stack_name": "Tim-RecRec",
          "elb_count": {
            "name": "",
            "pagerduty": {
              "path": "non-critical"
            },
            "count": "1"
          },
          "elb_http": {
            "address": "",
            "expect": "404",
            "pagerduty": {
              "path": "non-critical"
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

The loop.rb

p "Finalizing and setting everything in the node data"
node['nagios']['virtual_hosts'].each do |virt_key, virt_val|
  virt_val.each do |stack_key, stack_val|
    if stack_key.start_with?('elb_') 
      p stack_val
      stack_name = virt_val['stack_name']
      stack_val.each do |k, v|
        if k == "name"
          p "It is a name, so trying #{elb_mapping[stack_name][0]}"
          p "#{virt_key} #{stack_key} #{k}"
          node.override['nagios']['virtual_hosts'][virt_key][stack_key][k] = elb_mapping[stack_name][0]
          p node['nagios']['virtual_hosts'][virt_key][stack_key][k]
        elsif k == "address"
          p "It is an address, so trying #{elb_dns_mapping["elb_name"]}"
          p "#{virt_key} #{stack_key} #{k}"
          elb_name = elb_mapping[stack_name]
          node.override['nagios']['virtual_hosts'][virt_key][stack_key][k] = elb_dns_mapping[elb_name]
          p node['nagios']['virtual_hosts'][virt_key][stack_key][k]
          # stack_val[k] = elb_dns_mapping[elb_name]
        end
        p "After: k: #{k} v: #{v}"
      end
      p stack_val
    end
  end
end
