Query: Set sysctl values using hiera

[surajbora1]

I would like to set multiple sysctl values using hiera, I have checked augeasproviders module, but it has dependencies on multiple module and my requirement is only sysctl. Is there any best way to to set sysctl values using hiera using augeasproviders_sysctl.

The dependencies to the augeasproviders module are soft, you don't need to install them all if you don't want to.

my hiera use case:

modules/profile/manifests/sysctl.pp:

class profile::sysctl (
    $entries = {},
) {
  create_resources('sysctl', $entries)
}

in the role yaml:

classes:
  - profile::sysctl 

profile::sysctl::entries:
  net.ipv4.tcp_rmem:
    value: 4096 87380 16777216
  net.ipv4.tcp_wmem:
    value: 4096 65536 16777216
  net.core.rmem_max:
    value: 16777216

The augeasproviders modules has augeasproviders::instances for that:

You'll just need to use the augeasproviders::instances::sysctl_hash key in hiera.
