What errors are you getting? I'm doing something similar without any issues

can you verify with hiera cmdline that you are able to read the values as expected from hiera?

Take a look at https://docs.puppet.com/hiera/3.2/command_line.html

My only personal greedy reason would be to vote for renaming to `logstash-forwarder` mainly so I don't have to redo the puppet module that makes references everywhere using that name(...
