class insights.combiners.sysctl_conf.SysctlConfs(sysctl_conf, sysctl_d_confs_usr, sysctl_d_confs_etc)[source]¶

Bases: dict

Combiner for accessing all the sysctl configuration files in one structure.

Sample input:

# sysctl.conf sample
#
  kernel.domainname = example.com

; this one has a space which will be written to the sysctl!
  kernel.modprobe = /sbin/mod probe

search[source]¶

Returns a dict of any kv pairs where the

Type:: dict

contains the search word.

Examples

>>> type(sysctl_conf)
<class 'insights.combiners.sysctl_conf.SysctlConfs'>
>>> sysctl_conf['kernel.domainname']
'example.com'
>>> sysctl_conf['kernel.modprobe']
'/sbin/mod probe'
>>> sysctl_conf['kernel.sysrq']
'1'
>>> "vm.dirty_ratio" in sysctl_conf
True
>>> sysctl_conf.search("domainname")
{'kernel.domainname': 'example.com'}
