[augeas-devel] augeasproviders_sysctl usage help

[Dave Green]

Hi

I'm trying to use your module to control sysctl settings thought puppet, and to be honest I'm struggling. Not sure if it's specifically how I'm using your module, or the fact that I am not passing hash values to it (I'm very new to perl and puppet).

This is my init.pp code

        $sysctlkeys = keys($sysctl_settings)
        rh7config::sysctlconfig  $sysctlkeys:
            porthash => $sysctl_settings


And the sysctlconfig definition looks like this...

define rh7config::sysctlconfig ($porthash)
sysctl  $porthash[$name]:
                ensure => present,
                value  => $porthash[$name][val],
                target => "/usr/lib/sysctl.d/00-system.conf",



The parameter sysctl_settings (defined as a hash as I want to set several sysctl values) is set to

net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time:
  val: 3600

but I am receiving the following error when puppet checks in on the host

Error: /Stage[main]/Rh7config/Rh7config::Sysctlconfig[net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time]/Sysctl["val"=>3600]: Could not evaluate: Error: `"val"=>3600` is not a valid sysctl key

I'm not sure if it the code I'm using to pass the hash value or the syntax of the parameter which is incorrect. Any help you could give me would be very gratefully received

Regards
Dave
