Re: sysctl items not persisting after reboot on Ubuntu 20.04
It is called 99-bridge.conf and is applied correctly on the restart of the procps.

sysctl items not persisting after reboot on Ubuntu 20.04
I am running into an odd issue where config files placed in /etc/sysctl.d/ are not being read on reboot, but after restarting procps they load as expected. root@dd:/home/user# sysctl -a |grep net.bridge net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 1 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 1 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1 net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-pppoe-tagged = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-pass-vlan-input-dev = 0 root@dd:/home/user# systemctl restart procps root@dd:/home/user# sysctl -a |grep net.bridge net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-arptables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-pppoe-tagged = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged = 0 net.bridge.bridge-nf-pass-vlan-input-dev = 0 I have done # systemctl restart procps # sysctl -p a few times and rebooted without success. I have even done systemctl daemon-reload in hopes of having systemd reread the files. My Google Fu is failing on finding a solution that works. Does anyone have an idea why the restart of procps applies the changes but doesn't apply them on startup? Yes, the procps service is enabled and is running before I do the restart.

SCALE parking
Fyi, if you are going to SCALE the hotel parking is $44 a day, but if you park next door at the "theParkingSpot" it is only $32 a day. --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

Sorry for the late reply, I run Zabbix https://www.zabbix.com/ to monitor all the stuff at my home as well as my day job. It is 100% open source and easy to setup and run. Out of the box it will monitor everything you are looking for.

One option would be to turn it into an image which is then put into the pdf. Not impossible to change just more work to change.
