Hi  
My elasticsearch is managed via puppet All was ok some time before And all is ok on another instances But on one instance where elasticsearch service stopped to work I got errors when apply puppet config  
Error: Could not set 'mask' on enable: undefined method `mask' for Service[elasticsearch](provider=debian):Puppet::Type::Service::ProviderDebian (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/elasticsearch/manifests/config.pp, line: 105) Error: Could not set 'mask' on enable: undefined method `mask' for Serviceelasticsearch:Puppet::Type::Service::ProviderDebian (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/elasticsearch/manifests/config.pp, line: 105)  
Wrapped exception:  
undefined method `mask' for Service[elasticsearch](provider=debian):Puppet::Type::Service::ProviderDebian Error: /Stage[main]/Elasticsearch::Config/Service[elasticsearch]/enable: change from 'false' to 'mask' failed: Could not set 'mask' on enable: undefined method `mask' for Serviceelasticsearch:Puppet::Type::Service::ProviderDebian (file: /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production/modules/elasticsearch/manifests/config.pp, line: 105)  
If I disable puppet and manualy reinstall elasticsearch all is ok Service starts without errors

Sorry you're having issues, @111242. Do you have an example (or snippet of an example) Puppet manifest that causes this, as well as the Puppet version and OS distribution and version?
