Unable to get basic Splunk server running about puppet-splunk HOT 6 CLOSED

Do you need the build number in there as well?

heres mine for the forwarder
class { '::splunk::params':
version => '6.5.2',
build => '67571ef4b87d',
src_root => "blankurl/FS_Splunk",
server => 'serblanked',
splunkd_port => '8089',

from puppet-splunk.

Unfortunately not, but good spot vandelin586, I was hopeful that would be it. I have my deb package at:

http://somebucket.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/products/splunk/releases/6.6.3/linux/splunk-6.6.3-e21ee54bc796-linux-2.6-amd64.deb

My Manifest now looks like:

class mailonline::splunk2 {

class { '::splunk::params':
version => '6.6.3',
build => 'e21ee54bc796',
src_root => 'http://somebucket.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com',
splunkd_port => '8089',
}

include ::splunk

}

I tried adding server as per your class but that still made no difference, but thanks for the suggestion.

Also had a look through splunk::params, the notes and code suggests the path to the .deb package should be @ .../splunk/linux/splunk-6.6.3-e21ee54bc796-linux-2.6-amd64.deb, tried adding my .deb to that location but still no change in the error Error: Failed to apply catalog: no parameter named 'section'

from puppet-splunk.

I get further misery when trying to use puppet:///... as a src_root:

Error: Failed to apply catalog: Parameter source failed on Archive[/opt/staging/splunk/splunk-6.6.3-e21ee54bc796-linux-2.6-amd64.deb]: invalid source url: puppet:///modules/mymodule/mypath/splunk/linux/splunk-6.6.3-e21ee54bc796-linux-2.6-amd64.deb at /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/myenv/modules-thirdparty/splunk/manifests/init.pp:84

Using:

class { '::splunk::params':
version => '6.6.3',
build => 'e21ee54bc796',
src_root => 'puppet:///modules/mymodule/mypath',
}

But can confirm file residing in correct place by running the below on puppet server:
puppet apply -e "file {'/tmp/wibble': source => 'puppet:///modules/mymodule/mypath/splunk/linux/splunk-6.6.3-e21ee54bc796-linux-2.6-amd64.deb',}" --environment myenv

Still interested in getting this working, if there are any pointers I'd much appreciate.

Update:
With help of a colleague, we updated our Puppetfile to honour the version requirements in metadata.json - However we still had issues, this was resolved by removing some in-house written ruby splunk library modules, that we presumed the names were colliding.
