Setup splunk using augeas when title has equal char in name

Hi,
I'm using augeas to setup Splunk configs.
But I'm not able to setup titles with equal char in the name.

I can print these titles.

augtool> print /files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf
...
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/queue
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/queue/maxSize = "600MB"
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/queue=parsingQueue
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/queue=parsingQueue/maxSize = "6MB"
...

But I don't know how to setup them.

augtool> set /files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/queue=parsingQueue/maxSize 600MB
error: Invalid path expression
error: type error
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/queue=parsingQueue/maxSize|=|

Final config should be:

[queue]
maxSize=600MB
[queue=parsingQueue]
 maxSize=6MB

Does anyone know how to setup this type of config using augeas or another tool from CLI ?

I had some old Splunk.aug lens in my system. Upgrade solved it.

/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/target[7] = "queue"
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/target[7]/maxSize = "600MB"
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/target[8] = "queue=parsingQueue"
/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf/target[8]/maxSize = "6MB"

Just to describe it more deeply. You can setup it using puppet like this:

'server.conf-queue-agg':
        context     => "/files/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf",
        incl            => "/opt/splunk/etc/system/local/server.conf",
        lens            => "Splunk.lns",
        changes     => [
                    "set target[. = 'queue=aggQueue'] queue=aggQueue",
                    "set target[. = 'queue=aggQueue']/maxSize 200MB",
                ];
