16.154. cdist-type__sysctl(7)¶

16.154.1. NAME¶

cdist-type__sysctl - manage sysctl settings

16.154.2. DESCRIPTION¶

Manages permanent as well as runtime sysctl settings. Permament settings are set by managing entries in /etc/sysctl.conf. Runtime settings are set by directly calling the sysctl executable.

16.154.3. REQUIRED PARAMETERS¶

value: The value to set for the given key (object_id)

16.154.4. EXAMPLES¶

__sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward --value 1

# On some operating systems, e.g. NetBSD, to prevent an error if the
# MIB style name does not exist (e.g. optional kernel components),
# name and value can be separated by `?=`. The same effect can be achieved
# in cdist by appending a `?` to the key:

__sysctl ddb.onpanic? --value -1
