Any additional information you'd like to impart

Not working:

splunk::forwarder::forwarder_input  :
    'default_foo':
        section : 'monitor://foo/bar.log'
        tag     : 'splunk_forwarder'

Not working:

splunk::forwarder::forwarder_input  :
    'default_foo':
        section : 'monitor://foo/bar.log'
        setting : 'foo'
        value   : 
        tag     : 'splunk_forwarder'

Working (but I don't want to declare any variable for this monitor entry) :

splunk::forwarder::forwarder_input  :
    'default_foo':
        section : 'monitor://foo/bar.log'
        setting : 'foo'
        value   : ''
        tag     : 'splunk_forwarder'

Working (but I don't want to declare any variable for this monitor entry):

splunk::forwarder::forwarder_input  :
    'default_foo':
        section : 'monitor://foo/bar.log'
        setting : 'foo'
        value   : 'bar'
        tag     : 'splunk_forwarder'
