net/ndproxy: Add ndproxy count #4357

Closed Monviech closed 1 week ago

Monviech commented 1 week ago

While troubleshooting I hammered sysctl net.inet6.ndproxycount in the shell relentlessly.

It is the only number that shows your configuration is correct and that something indeed happens. Having it exposed in the GUI is valuable.

I don't like this for multiple reasons: we have a generic script for sysctls, it really doesn't add enough value to be shown here and it overcomplicates the configuration page. My person feeling is to leave this out.

Monviech commented 1 week ago

I'm okay with this. Thanks for your honest opinion. :)

@fichtner Where can I find the generic sysctl output in the GUI? Maybe I missed it completely.

fichtner commented 1 week ago

The backend (configd action)

Monviech commented 1 week ago

Ah okay thanks totally missed that. At least I learned something from this. :)

configctl system sysctl values net.inet6.ndproxycount
{"net.inet6.ndproxycount":"0"}

Yep that’s the one. 👍

if there were more precise sysctls I would agree with the suggestion though. Thanks for the proposal in any case 😊
