# bpftune-sysctl(8)

sysctl bpftune plugin for monitoring sysctl settings

## NAME

BPFTUNE-SYSCTL - sysctl bpftune plugin for monitoring sysctl settings

## DESCRIPTION

The sysctl tuner watches for administrator-driven sysctl settings, and disables tuners that could collide with them.

Each tuner declares which sysctls it operates on, and if we see a sysctl setting that collides with one of our managed sysctls, the associated tuner is disabled.  bpftune must be restarted to re-enable it.

Intent is to get out of the way of the active administrator.
