Explicit Group Init in Boot Config
Summary
Had to rebase a bit since my commits weren't attributed to my user, but the only commit needed is the last one. Essentially I'm just adding the -group flag to the boot start command since it's not there currently, and that causes some drift from the expected configs of the file permissions.
Changes
Changed roles/splunk/tasks/configure_splunk_boot.yml to include -group {{ splunk_nix_group }}
~~Good suggestion. I tested this, and it seems that when you restart the splunk service, it gets set to the primary group the splunk_nix_user is set to. the splunk_nix_group is only set as an additional group to that user. The primary group is automatically set by the OS to the same of the user name when the user is created initially.~~
~~Some further research is needed to get this straightened out.~~
My bad. I tested it after the user was already created. This seems to work fine if the user does not exist.
It definitely should be, but the issue with the splunk init boot config still requires a patch. I can add it to the PR if you'd like.
