I've been fighting puppet for a few days now, and getting the shield to install without doing it by hand has become painstaking.

I'm using this:

elasticsearch::instance { 'es-mn1': }

Elasticsearch::Plugin { instances =\> ['es-mn1'], }  
elasticsearch::plugin { 'elasticsearch/license': }  
elasticsearch::plugin { 'elasticsearch/shield': }

Hi,

Which version of Elasticsearch are you using? I don't know much about the Puppet module, but did you try with

```
elasticsearch::plugin { 'license': }
elasticsearch::plugin { 'shield': }

```

?

Hi!! Thanks for that! Was it that obvious 🙂

Didn't you lead the course in Stockholm?

Cheers,
