expects a value for parameter 'x'

OS: CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) Puppet: 4.8.1 Facter: 3.5.0 Ruby: 2.0.0 Hiera: 3.2.2 m4ce-kapacitor: 0.1.0 kapacitor-ruby : 0.0.13

Are defaults not set or am I doing something wrong here?

manifest:

include 'kapacitor'

$ puppet agent -t

I migrated the module to Hiera 5 - You need Puppet >= 4.10.0. Else, use 0.0.16.

Ok I see. Note that everything works if i set all those parameters manually. Not sure when we'll upgrade to Puppet >= 4.10.0 so i'll just set parameters for the time being. Hopefully that will work going forward so I take advantage of any future update.

Thanks for the module!

@m4ce, would it be possible to support older versions of Hiera?

[m4ce]

@druchoo, use 0.0.16, that will do. There only change between 0.0.16 and 0.1.0 is support for Hiera 5.

[druchoo]

Yes understood about versions 0.0.16 and 0.1.0 and sorry I didn't state my question clearly...

For future versions, would you consider supporting older versions of Hiera?

[m4ce]

Let me see if I can do that for the next release 👍
