Hi Richard,
getting back to this after a while. Thanks for pointing me to the fact,
that the class itself actually does nothing than install and only instances
merge configs. This was something completely not aware to me (may be you
could add a line in the documentation?) but looking through the module I
could figure it out.
What I am wondering, what was the reason for this design decision? When I
want to install elasticsarch once on a machine I have to configure the
class (things like manage_repo can not be configured in the instance,
right?) and an instance. This will install two services, one for the class,
not caring about config, and one for the instance, what might be confusing
for some users.
Again, thanks for your help that finally got me on the right track!
Andrej
