splunk_authentication

What are you seeing

Am not seeing any documentation or default type to set this (or I couldn't find it)

What behaviour did you expect instead

Documentation on setting up the splunk_authentication with user and role which I can do it manually with,

"splunk cmd splunkd rest --noauth POST /services/authentication/users "name=admin&password=xxxxxxx&roles=admin"

Output log

Any additional information you'd like to impart

Agreed - it would be nice to be able to do something like this:

class { '::splunk::forwarder': package_ensure => 'latest', seed_password => true, admin_user => 'admin4splunk', password_hash => '$hashashashihashB.', }
