systemd service permissions

[ludusregio]

My logs are full of following messages:

Jun 28 14:51:59 servername systemd: Configuration file /etc/systemd/system/splunk.service is marked executable. Please remove executable permission bits. Proceeding anyway.
Jun 28 14:51:59 servername systemd: Configuration file /etc/systemd/system/splunk.service is marked world-inaccessible. This has no effect as configuration data is accessible via APIs without restrictions. Proceeding anyway.

This is due to the file /etc/systemd/system/splunk.service having the execute bit set for the owner and not read to world. Can this be corrected in the following code? Instead of mode 700, mode 644?

 template '/etc/systemd/system/splunk.service' do
    source 'splunk-systemd.erb'
    mode '700'
    variables(
      splunkdir: splunk_dir,
      runasroot: node['splunk']['server']['runasroot']
    )
  end

I’m adding the Type: Jump In GitHub label to this issue. This is a great issue for someone to get their feet wet with and we’d love a PR to resolves the issue.
