Elastic/logstash puppet forge module config_dir not being set

[cgutshal (Salty Wendigo)]

I am working with the following module in puppet forge:

Puppet module elastic/logstash

This is my current profile: https://gist.github.com/cgutshal/116d2cfd1bd21b9083088bfbacd1a804

The issue I am running into is that while my pipeline configs are places in /data/logstash/conf/conf.d/ as expected, the other config files are still created in /etc/logstash regardless of if I define it as follows in my profile.

  $base_dir = '/data/logstash'

  file { $base_dir:
    ensure  => 'directory',
    group   => $config['group'],
    owner   => $config['user']
  }

  class { 'logstash':
    config_dir          => "${base_dir}/conf", #THIS ISN'T WORKING
    ...
  }

Not sure what I might be doing wrong that isn't causing this to work as documented, and if there is additional info I can provide let me know. Hoping I just missed something simple.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

how are you running logstash?
what's the error you getting?

In my experience, it is better to run with path.settings to see

./bin/logstash --path.settings /data/logstash

Logstash is being ran via a puppet manifest. The issue is not that I am having errors, its that documentation for the puppet module authored by elastic doesn't seem to work as described, unless I am missing something. Setting config_dir to /data/logstash/conf does not work it is still setting it to /etc/logstash/.
