Hi

In puppet templates, the following is what we defined.  
class { 'kibana':  
ensure =\> $elastic\_version,  
manage\_repo =\> false,  
config =\> {  
.....  
'elasticsearch.url' =\> '[https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200)',  
........

what we get in the generated kibana.yaml is as follows.  
....  
elasticsearch.url: [https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200)  
....

I think the correct one in the kibana.yaml should be as follows.

elasticsearch.url: "[https://localhost:9200](https://localhost:9200)"

However, kibana works fine with this file. Could someone please shed light on it?

Thanks in advance!

@xzhou I would say that in this case use the quotes or not will produce the same result. However be aware that is a secure practice to use quotes in yaml strings as yaml has a lot of little caveats around strings (like for example the reserved indicators).
