+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/duritong/puppet-sysctl.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/duritong/puppet-sysctl)
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+This modules allows to configure sysctl.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+ node "mynode" inherits ... {
+ sysctl::value { "vm.nr_hugepages": value => "1583"}
+ }
+
+When setting a key that contains multiple values, use a tab to separate the
+values:
+
+ node "mynode" inherits ... {
+ sysctl::value { 'net.ipv4.tcp_rmem':
+ value => "4096\t131072\t131072",
+ }
+ }
+
+If another config file then /etc/sysctl.conf (default) is required, use target for this:
+
+ node "mynode" inherits ... {
+ sysctl::value { 'net.ipv4.tcp_rmem':
+ value => "4096\t131072\t131072",
+ target => '/etc/sysctl.d/mysysctl.conf',
+ }
+ }
+
+To avoid duplication the sysctl::value calls multiple settings can be
+managed like this:
+
+ $my_sysctl_settings = {
+ "net.ipv4.ip_forward" => { value => 1 },
+ "net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding" => { value => 1 },
+ }
+
+ # Specify defaults for all the sysctl::value to be created (
+ $my_sysctl_defaults = {
+ require => Package['aa']
+ }
+
+ create_resources(sysctl::value,$my_sysctl_settings,$my_sysctl_defaults)
