Support for Splunk 8.x and RHEL 8 about puppet-splunk HOT 2 OPEN

I did some testing with splunk 8.x, which does not seem to be properly deployable via this module.
Given, that splunk 7.x is out of support since a while (see https://www.splunk.com/en_us/legal/splunk-software-support-policy.html#core ) it seems that this module won't be of any use.

I'm checking if I can find some time to check for adjustments.

from puppet-splunk.

When will this module support splunk version 7.3.x and 8.x.x and 9.x.x.
The SplunkD service fail to start after deployment for version 7.3.x onwards as splunk has changed the enable boot_start from systemd back to init.d.

Summary of the issue:
Splunk 6.0.0 - Splunk 7.2.1 defaults to using init.d when enabling boot start
Splunk 7.2.2 - Splunk 7.2.9 defaults to using systemd when enabling boot start
Splunk 7.3.0 - Splunk 8.x defaults to using init.d when enabling boot start
