Wrong Splunk Forwarder user on Windows #369

Open
@Tamerz

Description

Affected Puppet, Ruby, OS and module versions/distributions

  • Puppet: Any
  • Ruby: Any
  • Distribution: Windows (any modern version)
  • Module version: 10.0.0

How to reproduce (e.g Puppet code you use)

include puppet::forwarder

What are you seeing

The Linux package uses splunkfwd as the default user and group names. On Windows, SplunkForwarder is used for the user and group names. This causes the module to fail setting file permissions.

What behaviour did you expect instead

Output log

change from 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM' to 'splunkfwd' failed: Could not find user splunkfwd

    Source: /Stage[main]/Splunk::Forwarder::Config/File[C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder/etc/system/local/server.conf]/owner
