Bryan -- I'm using the puppet augeas plugin at
http://git.et.redhat.com/?p=ace.git;a=blob;f=modules/augeas/plugins/puppet/type/augeas.rb;h=2346c37d724d7607ed4e09b0413700bec2b7cbed;hb=HEAD
I'm running into a behavior that I wouldn't expect. I'd like to confirm
an entry in sysctl.conf by changing the value if necessary or appending
the key/value if it doesn't exist in the file. This seems like a common
scenario. However, the following example does not add
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog if it doesn't already exist in sysctl.conf.
class sysctl {
file { "sysctl_conf":
name => $operatingsystem ? {
default => "/etc/sysctl.conf"
},
}
config { "net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog": ensure => 4096 }
exec { "sysctl -p":
alias => "sysctl",
refreshonly => true,
subscribe => File["sysctl_conf"],
}
}
define sysctl::config ($ensure) {
augeas { "sysctl_conf_$name":
notify => Exec["sysctl"],
context => "/files/etc/sysctl.conf",
changes => "set $name $ensure",
onlyif => "get $name != $ensure"
}
}
poking around in augeas.rb I noticed that "onlyif" is only processed if
the result is not nil. Is this intended behavior? I propose that if
the return value is nil it should be treated as an empty string so
comparisons can still happen, I've attached a patch if this suits you.
