0.6.0

(2019/06/13)

Changed

• The splunk_hec module now supports customizing the fact_terminus and facts_cache_terminus names in the custom routes.yaml it deploys. If you are using a different facts_terminus (ie, not PuppetDB), you will want to set that parameter. Please note that this will come with a breaking change in functionality - Switches to the fact terminus cache setting via routes.yaml to ensure compatibility with CD4PE, see Fact Terminus Support for guides on how to change it.
