Issue

Application team requires to set up kernel parameter "net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait" using sysctl.conf.

When we want to set it up, we are getting error "sysctl: cannot stat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait: No such file or directory".

What can we do to set up this parameter?
