Variable references like $apache::params::config_d are parse-order
dependant. The class apache::params has to be parsed on the master
before you reference the variable. (Order of application doesn't matter,
so you don't need to use 'require')
The fix is trivial, just add an "include apache::params" (or even just
"include apache") at the top of your kibana::apache class, like so:
# modules/kibana/manifests/apache.pp
class kibana::apache (
$version = $kibana::params::parameters['version'],
) {
include apache::params
@file { $kibana::params::apache_config:
...
However, this conflicts with the class {} style declarations in your
apache/manifests/init.pp file. For best results, you should switch those
to use the "include" method as well.
