Documentation

simp/sysctl — version 4.2.1 Oct 10th 2016
  • Added deprecation notice
  • Ported to using augeasproviders_sysctl natively on the backend
  • Minor linting fixes
  • Moved the configuration file from /etc/sysctl.conf to /etc/sysctl.d/20-simp.conf to avoid conflict with packages.
  • Updated to use new simp environment
  • Now use the augeasprovider sysctl native type for managing sysctl entries.
  • Changed puppet-server requirement to puppet
  • Updated sysctl::set_value to sysctl::value to match the other open source offerings. Added a deprecation notice to sysctl::set_value and passed through the call to sysctl::value.
  • Removed the insync? method from the set_sysctl_value native type to allow Puppet to self correct in Ruby2.
  • Updated version number for consistency.
  • Updated module for puppet3/hiera compatibility, and optimized code for lint tests, and puppet-rspec.
  • Fri Nov 30 2012 Maintenance 2.0.0-5
  • Created a Cucumber test to ensure that sysctl is configured properly when installed on the puppet server.
  • Created a Cucumber test which changes the kernel.msgmax variable using the sysctl::set_value definition and checks to make sure the change has taken effect after a puppet run.
  • Tue May 29 2012 Maintenance 2.0.0-4
  • If you set the 'value' to 'nil' when calling sysctl::set_value, then it will remove the targeted key from the sysctl.conf file. Note, it will not un-set the value on the running system since there is no way to know what the default used to be.
