$ osapi client node sysctl get --target web-01 --key net.ipv4.ip_forward

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  KEY                   VALUE
  net.ipv4.ip_forward   1

When targeting all hosts:

$ osapi client node sysctl get --target _all --key vm.swappiness

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000

  HOSTNAME  KEY            VALUE
  web-01    vm.swappiness  10

$ osapi client node sysctl get --target _all --key vm.swappiness

  Job ID: 550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000
