sysctl: type/provider for sysctl for Puppet

This module provides a new type/provider for Puppet to read and modify sysctl config files using the Augeas configuration library.

The advantage of using Augeas over the default Puppet parsedfile implementations is that Augeas will go to great lengths to preserve file formatting and comments, while also failing safely when needed.

This provider will hide all of the Augeas commands etc., you don't need to know anything about Augeas to make use of it.

Requirements

Ensure both Augeas and ruby-augeas 0.3.0+ bindings are installed and working as normal.

See Puppet/Augeas pre-requisites.

Documentation and examples

Type documentation can be generated with puppet doc -r type or viewed on the Puppet Forge page.

manage simple entry

sysctl { "net.ipv4.ip_forward":
  ensure => present,
  value  => "1",
}

manage entry with comment

sysctl { "net.ipv4.ip_forward":
  ensure  => present,
  value   => "1",
  comment => "test",
}

delete entry

sysctl { "kernel.sysrq":
  ensure => absent,
}

remove comment from entry

sysctl { "kernel.sysrq":
  ensure  => present,
  comment => "",
}

manage entry in another sysctl.conf location

sysctl { "net.ipv4.ip_forward":
  ensure => present,
  value  => "1",
  target => "/etc/sysctl.d/forwarding.conf",
}

do not update value with the sysctl command

sysctl { "net.ipv4.ip_forward":
  ensure => present,
  value  => "1",
  apply  => false,
}

only update the value with the sysctl command, do not persist to disk

sysctl { "net.ipv4.ip_forward":
  ensure  => present,
  value   => "1",
  persist => false,
}

ignore the application of a yet to be activated sysctl value

sysctl { "net.ipv6.conf.all.autoconf":
  ensure => present,
  value  => "1",
  silent => true
}
