HI,  
I am using the elastic search puppet module off Github and was confused why my elastic search instance defined using the puppet elasticsearch::instance declaration was not starting on Centos7 until I started poking around and discovered that the service was not starting because the configuration file it expected to exist in /etc/sysconfig was not there! Can anyone let me know if this is a bug in the puppet module or a newbie error on my side? Thanks - Duncan Krebs

Hey @hatrick1, sorry about not seeing this question until now. The init defaults file per instance are created in `/etc/sysconfig/elasticsearch-${instance_name}`. Are you still seeing the unexpected behavior or did you end up solving your problem?
