You can't use the init.d script (or hasstatus=true) to check for
service, so you fall back and specify the service command in this
case:
service { 'rsyslog':
ensure => stopped, # this is normally first attribute.
enable => false,
status => 'source /etc/init.d/functions; status rsyslogd', # provide
a way to check status regardless if the init.d script is available.
}
