INTRODUCTION TO SALT

       We’re not just talking about NaCl.

   The 30 second summary
       Salt is:

       • A  configuration  management  system.  Salt  is  capable  of maintaining remote nodes in
         defined states. For example, it can ensure that specific packages are installed and that
         specific services are running.

       • A  distributed remote execution system used to execute commands and query data on remote
         nodes. Salt can query and execute commands either on individual nodes  or  by  using  an
         arbitrary selection criteria.

       It  was  developed  in  order  to  bring  the  best solutions found in the world of remote
       execution together and make them better, faster, and  more  malleable.  Salt  accomplishes
       this  through  its  ability  to handle large loads of information, and not just dozens but
       hundreds and even thousands of individual servers quickly through a simple and  manageable
       interface.

   Simplicity
       Providing  versatility  between  massive  scale  deployments  and smaller systems may seem
       daunting, but Salt is very simple to set up and maintain, regardless of the  size  of  the
       project.  The  architecture of Salt is designed to work with any number of servers, from a
       handful of local network  systems  to  international  deployments  across  different  data
       centers.  The topology is a simple server/client model with the needed functionality built
       into a single set of daemons. While the default configuration will work with little to  no
       modification, Salt can be fine tuned to meet specific needs.

   Parallel execution
       The core functions of Salt:

       • enable commands to remote systems to be called in parallel rather than serially

       • use a secure and encrypted protocol

       • use the smallest and fastest network payloads possible

       • provide a simple programming interface

       Salt  also  introduces  more  granular controls to the realm of remote execution, allowing
       systems to be targeted not just by hostname, but also by system properties.

   Builds on proven technology
       Salt takes advantage of a number of technologies and techniques. The networking  layer  is
       built  with  the excellent ZeroMQ networking library, so the Salt daemon includes a viable
       and transparent AMQ broker. Salt uses public  keys  for  authentication  with  the  master
       daemon,  then  uses  faster  AES  encryption for payload communication; authentication and
       encryption are integral to Salt.  Salt  takes  advantage  of  communication  via  msgpack,
       enabling fast and light network traffic.

   Python client interface
       In  order  to  allow for simple expansion, Salt execution routines can be written as plain
       Python modules. The data collected from Salt executions can be sent  back  to  the  master
       server,  or to any arbitrary program. Salt can be called from a simple Python API, or from
       the command line, so that Salt can be used to execute one-off commands as well as  operate
       as an integral part of a larger application.

   Fast, flexible, scalable
       The  result  is  a  system that can execute commands at high speed on target server groups
       ranging from one to very many servers. Salt is  very  fast,  easy  to  set  up,  amazingly
       malleable  and provides a single remote execution architecture that can manage the diverse
       requirements of any number of servers.  The Salt infrastructure brings together  the  best
       of the remote execution world, amplifies its capabilities and expands its range, resulting
       in a system that is as versatile as it is practical, suitable for any network.

   Open
       Salt is developed under the Apache 2.0 license, and can be used for open  and  proprietary
       projects.  Please  submit  your  expansions  back  to  the Salt project so that we can all
       benefit together as Salt grows.  Please feel free to sprinkle Salt around your systems and
       let the deliciousness come forth.

SALT SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

   Overview
       This page provides a high-level overview of the Salt system architecture and its different
       components.

   What is Salt?
       Salt is a Python-based open-source remote execution framework used for:

       • Configuration management

       • Automation

       • Provisioning

       • Orchestration

   The Salt system architecture
       The following diagram shows the primary components of the basic Salt architecture: [image]

       The following sections describe some of the core components of the Salt architecture.

   Salt Masters and Salt Minions
       Salt  uses  the  master-client model in which a master issues commands to a client and the
       client executes the command. In the Salt ecosystem, the Salt Master is a  server  that  is
       running the salt-master service. It issues commands to one or more Salt Minions, which are
       servers that are running the  salt-minion  service  and  that  are  registered  with  that
       particular Salt Master.

       Another way to describe Salt is as a publisher-subscriber model. The master publishes jobs
       that need to be executed and Salt Minions subscribe to those jobs.  When  a  specific  job
       applies to that minion, it will execute the job.

       When  a minion finishes executing a job, it sends job return data back to the master. Salt
       has two ports used by default for the minions to communicate with their  master(s).  These
       ports  work  in concert to receive and deliver data to the Message Bus. Salt’s message bus
       is ZeroMQ,  which  creates  an  asynchronous  network  topology  to  provide  the  fastest
       communication possible.

   Targets and grains
       The  master  indicates which minions should execute the job by defining a target. A target
       is the group of minions, across one or many masters, that a job's Salt command applies to.

       NOTE:
          A master can also be managed like a minion and can be a target if  it  is  running  the
          salt-minion service.

       The following is an example of one of the many kinds of commands that a master might issue
       to a minion. This command indicates that all minions should install the Vim application:

          salt -v '*' pkg.install vim

       In this case the glob '*' is the target, which indicates that all minions  should  execute
       this  command.  Many other targeting options are available, including targeting a specific
       minion by its ID or targeting minions by their shared traits  or  characteristics  (called
       grains in Salt).

       Salt  comes  with an interface to derive information about the underlying system.  This is
       called the grains interface, because it presents Salt with grains of  information.  Grains
       are  collected for the operating system, domain name, IP address, kernel, OS type, memory,
       and many other system properties. You can also create your own custom grain data.

       Grain data is relatively static. However, grain data is refreshed when system  information
       changes (such as network settings) or when a new value is assigned to a custom grain.

   Open event system (event bus)
       The  event system is used for inter-process communication between the Salt Master and Salt
       Minions. In the event system:

       • Events are seen by both the master and minions.

       • Events can be monitored and evaluated by both.

       The event bus lays the groundwork for orchestration and real-time monitoring.

       All minions see jobs and results by subscribing to events published on the  event  system.
       Salt uses a pluggable event system with two layers:

       • ZeroMQ  (0MQ)  - The current default socket-level library providing a flexible transport
         layer.

       • Tornado - Full TCP-based transport layer event system.

       One of the greatest strengths of Salt is  the  speed  of  execution.  The  event  system’s
       communication  bus  is  more efficient than running a higher-level web service (http). The
       remote execution system is the component that all components are built upon, allowing  for
       decentralized remote execution to spread load across resources.

   Salt states
       In  addition  to remote execution, Salt provides another method for configuring minions by
       declaring which state a minion should be in, otherwise referred to as  Salt  states.  Salt
       states  make  configuration  management  possible.  You  can use Salt states to deploy and
       manage infrastructure with simple YAML files.  Using states, you  can  automate  recursive
       and  predictable  tasks by queueing jobs for Salt to implement without needing user input.
       You can also add more complex conditional logic to state files with Jinja.

       To  illustrate  the  subtle  differences  between  remote  execution   and   configuration
       management,  take  the command referenced in the previous section about Targets and grains
       in which Salt installed the application Vim on all minions:

            └─────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────┘

       The state file that verifies Vim is installed might look like the following example:

          # File:/srv/salt/vim_install.sls

          install_vim_now:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - vim

       To apply this state to a minion, you would use the state.apply  module,  such  as  in  the
       following example:

          salt '*' state.apply vim_install

       This command applies the vim_install state to all minions.

       Formulas  are  collections  of  states  that  work  in  harmony  to  configure a minion or
       application. For example, one state might trigger another state.

   The Top file
       It is not practical to manually run each state  individually  targeting  specific  minions
       each time. Some environments have hundreds of state files targeting thousands of minions.

       Salt offers two features to help with this scaling problem:

       • The top.sls file - Maps Salt states to their applicable minions.

       • Highstate execution - Runs all Salt states outlined in top.sls in a single execution.

       The  top  file  maps  which  states  should  be  applied  to  different minions in certain
       environments. The following is an example of a simple top file:

          # File: /srv/salt/top.sls

          base:
            '*':
              - all_server_setup

            '01webserver':
              - web_server_setup

       In this example, base refers to the Salt environment,  which  is  the  default.   You  can
       specify more than one environment as needed, such as prod, dev, QA, etc.

       Groups  of minions are specified under the environment, and states are listed for each set
       of minions. This top file indicates that a state called all_server_setup should be applied
       to  all  minions  '*'  and  the  state  called  web_server_setup  should be applied to the
       01webserver minion.

       To run the Salt command, you would use the state.highstate function:

          salt \* state.highstate

       This command applies the top file to the targeted minions.

   Salt pillar
       Salt’s pillar feature takes data defined on the Salt Master and distributes it to  minions
       as  needed. Pillar is primarily used to store secrets or other highly sensitive data, such
       as account credentials, cryptographic keys, or  passwords.   Pillar  is  also  useful  for
       storing non-secret data that you don't want to place directly in your state files, such as
       configuration data.

       Salt pillar brings data into the cluster from the opposite  direction  as  grains.   While
       grains are data generated from the minion, the pillar is data generated from the master.

       Pillars  are  organized  similarly to states in a Pillar state tree, where top.sls acts to
       coordinate pillar data  to  environments  and  minions  privy  to  the  data.  Information
       transferred  using pillar has a dictionary generated for the targeted minion and encrypted
       with that minion’s key for secure data transfer. Pillar data is encrypted on a  per-minion
       basis, which makes it useful for storing sensitive data specific to a particular minion.

   Beacons and reactors
       The  beacon  system is a monitoring tool that can listen for a variety of system processes
       on Salt Minions. Beacons can trigger reactors which can then help implement  a  change  or
       troubleshoot  an issue. For example, if a service’s response times out, the reactor system
       can restart the service.

       Beacons are used for a variety of purposes, including:

       • Automated reporting

       • Error log delivery

       • Microservice monitoring

       • User shell activity

       • Resource monitoring

       When coupled  with  reactors,  beacons  can  create  automated  pre-written  responses  to
       infrastructure and application issues. Reactors expand Salt with automated responses using
       pre-written remediation states.

       Reactors can be applied in a variety of scenarios:

       • Infrastructure scaling

       • Notifying administrators

       • Restarting failed applications

       • Automatic rollback

       When both beacons and reactors are used together , you can create unique states customized
       to your specific needs.

   Salt runners and orchestration
       Salt runners are convenience applications executed with the salt-run command. Salt runners
       work similarly to Salt execution modules. However, they execute on the Salt Master instead
       of the Salt Minions. A Salt runner can be a simple client call or a complex application.

       Salt  provides  the  ability  to  orchestrate  system  administrative tasks throughout the
       enterprise. Orchestration makes it possible  to  coordinate  the  activities  of  multiple
       machines  from  a  central  place. It has the added advantage of being able to control the
       sequence of when certain configuration events occur.  Orchestration states execute on  the
       master using the state runner module.

INSTALLATION

       This section contains instructions to install Salt. If you are setting up your environment
       for the first time, you should install a Salt master on a dedicated management  server  or
       VM,  and then install a Salt minion on each system that you want to manage using Salt. For
       now you don't need to worry about your architecture, you can  easily  add  components  and
       modify your configuration later without needing to reinstall anything.

       The general installation process is as follows:

       1. Install  a  Salt master using the instructions for your platform or by running the Salt
          bootstrap script. If you use the bootstrap script, be sure to include the -M option  to
          install the Salt master.

       2. Make sure that your Salt minions can find the Salt master.

       3. Install the Salt minion on each system that you want to manage.

       4. Accept the Salt minion keys after the Salt minion connects.

       After  this,  you  should be able to run a simple command and receive salt version returns
       from all connected Salt minions.

          salt '*' test.version

   Quick Install
       On most distributions, you can set up a Salt Minion with the Salt bootstrap.

   Platform-specific Installation Instructions
       These guides go into detail how to install Salt on a given platform.

   Arch Linux
   Installation
       Salt (stable) is currently available via the Arch Linux Official repositories.  There  are
       currently -git packages available in the Arch User repositories (AUR) as well.

   Stable Release
       Install Salt stable releases from the Arch Linux Official repositories as follows:

          pacman -S salt

   Tracking develop
       To  install  the  bleeding edge version of Salt (may include bugs!), use the -git package.
       Installing the -git package as follows:

          wget https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sa/salt-git/salt-git.tar.gz
          tar xf salt-git.tar.gz
          cd salt-git/
          makepkg -is

       NOTE:
          yaourt

          If a tool such as  Yaourt  is  used,  the  dependencies  will  be  gathered  and  built
          automatically.

          The command to install salt using the yaourt tool is:

              yaourt salt-git

   Post-installation tasks
       systemd

       Activate the Salt Master and/or Minion via systemctl as follows:

          systemctl enable salt-master.service
          systemctl enable salt-minion.service

       Start the Master

       Once  you've  completed  all  of  these  steps you're ready to start your Salt Master. You
       should be able to start your Salt Master now using the command seen here:

          systemctl start salt-master

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Debian GNU/Linux / Raspbian
       Debian GNU/Linux distribution and some derivatives such as Raspbian already have  included
       Salt  packages  to their repositories. However, current stable Debian release contains old
       outdated Salt releases. It is recommended  to  use  SaltStack  repository  for  Debian  as
       described below.

       Installation from official Debian and Raspbian repositories is described here.

   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Packages  for  Debian  10  (Buster)  and  Debian 9 (Stretch) are available in the Official
       SaltStack repository.

       Instructions are at https://repo.saltproject.io/#debian.

       NOTE:
          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          • Archive 1Archive 2

          If looking to use archives, the same directions from the Debian install directions  can
          be  used  by  replacing  the  URL  paths  with  the  appropriate  archive location. The
          repository configuration endpoint also needs to be adjusted to point to  the  archives.
          Here is an example sed command:

              # Salt repo configurations are found in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list directory
              sed -i 's/repo.saltproject.io/archive.repo.saltproject.io/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list

       WARNING:
          Regular  security support for Debian 8 ended on June 30th 2018. As a result, 3000.3 and
          2019.2.5 will be the last Salt releases for which Debian 8 packages are created. Debian
          8 also reached LTS EOL on June 30 2020.

          Regular  security  support for Debian 7 ended on April 25th 2016. As a result, 2016.3.1
          and 2015.8.10 will be the last Salt releases for which Debian 7 packages  are  created.
          Debian 7 also reached LTS EOL on May 31 2018.

   Installation from the Debian / Raspbian Official Repository
       The  Debian  distributions contain mostly old Salt packages built by the Debian Salt Team.
       You can install Salt components directly from Debian but it  is  recommended  to  use  the
       instructions above for the packages from the official Salt repository.

       4. Install Salt minion package from Latest Debian Release:

             apt-get install salt-minion/stretch

   Install Packages
       Install the Salt master, minion or other packages from the  repository  with  the  apt-get
       command.  These  examples  each  install one of Salt components, but more than one package
       name may be given at a time:

       • apt-get install salt-apiapt-get install salt-cloudapt-get install salt-masterapt-get install salt-minionapt-get install salt-sshapt-get install salt-syndic

   Post-installation tasks
       Now, go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Arista EOS Salt minion installation guide
       The Salt minion for Arista EOS is distributed as a SWIX extension  and  can  be  installed
       directly  on  the  switch.  The  EOS  network  operating  system  is  based  on old Fedora
       distributions and the installation  of  the  salt-minion  requires  backports.  This  SWIX
       extension contains the necessary backports, together with the Salt basecode.

   Fedora
       Beginning with version 0.9.4, Salt has been available in the primary  Fedora  repositories
       and EPEL. It is installable using yum or dnf, depending on your version of Fedora.

       NOTE:
          Released  versions  of  Salt starting with 2015.5.2 through 2016.3.2 do not have Fedora
          packages available though EPEL. To install a version of Salt within this release array,
          please use SaltStack's Bootstrap Script and use the git method of installing Salt using
          the version's associated release tag.

          Release 2016.3.3 and onward will have packaged versions available via EPEL.

       WARNING: Fedora 19 comes with  systemd  204.   Systemd  has  known  bugs  fixed  in  later
       revisions  that  prevent  the  salt-master  from  starting reliably or opening the network
       connections that it needs to.  It's not likely  that  a  salt-master  will  start  or  run
       reliably  on  any  distribution  that  uses  systemd  version  204  or  earlier.   Running
       salt-minions should be OK.

   Installation
       Salt can be installed using yum and is available in the standard Fedora repositories.

   Stable Release
       Salt is packaged separately for the minion and the master. It is necessary only to install
       the  appropriate  package for the role the machine will play. Typically, there will be one
       master and multiple minions.

          yum install salt-master
          yum install salt-minion

   Installing from updates-testing
       When a new Salt release is  packaged,  it  is  first  admitted  into  the  updates-testing
       repository, before being moved to the stable repo.

       To install from updates-testing, use the enablerepo argument for yum:

          yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install salt-master
          yum --enablerepo=updates-testing install salt-minion

   Installation Using pip
       Since  Salt is on PyPI, it can be installed using pip, though most users prefer to install
       using a package manager.

       Installing from pip has a few additional requirements:

       • Install the group 'Development Tools', dnf groupinstall 'Development Tools'

       • Install the 'zeromq-devel' package if it fails on linking  against  that  afterwards  as
         well.

       A pip install does not make the init scripts or the /etc/salt directory, and you will need
       to provide your own systemd service unit.

       Installation from pip:

          pip install salt

       WARNING:
          If installing from pip (or from source using setup.py install),  be  advised  that  the
          yum-utils  package  is  needed  for  Salt  to  manage  packages.  Also,  if  the Python
          dependencies are not already installed, then you will need  additional  libraries/tools
          installed to build some of them.  More information on this can be found here.

   Post-installation tasks

   STEP 2: Choose Salt Minion Type
       Using the tables above, select the Salt Minion type.

       Choices:SSH Proxy Minion (See Salt Proxy Minion Configuration Section)

              • NX-API Proxy Minion (See Salt Proxy Minion Configuration Section)

              •

                GuestShell Native Minion (See GuestShell Salt Minion Installation Section)

                       • Some  platforms  support a native minion installed directly on the NX-OS
                         device inside the GuestShell

                       • The GuestShell is a secure Linux container environment running CentOS

   STEP 3: Network Connectivity
       Ensure that IP reachability exists between the NX-OS Salt Minion device and the  SaltStack
       Master.

       Note:  The  management  interface exists in a separate VRF context and requires additional
       configuration as shown.

       Example: Nexus CLI Configuration for connectivity via management interface

          config term
            vrf context management
              ip name-server 10.0.0.202
              ip domain-name mycompany.com
              ip route 0.0.0.0/0 10.0.0.1

            interface mgmt0
              vrf member management
              ip address 10.0.0.99/24

            ntp server 10.0.0.201 use-vrf management
          end

   Salt Proxy Minion Configuration
       Here is a sample Proxy Minion directory structure

          saltmaster:/srv/pillar$tree
          .
          ├── n3k-proxy.sls
          ├── n7k-proxy.sls
          └── top.sls

       This displays a top sls file and two proxy minion sls files for a Nexus 3k  and  Nexus  7k
       device.

       Sample contents for the top.sls file.

          saltmaster:/srv/pillar$cat top.sls
          base:
            n3k-proxy:
              - n3k-proxy
            n7k-proxy:
              - n7k-proxy

   Proxy Minion Pillar Data
       Here is a sample Proxy Minion pillar data file.

       All of the data for both ssh and nxapi proxy minion types can be stored in the same pillar
       data file.  To choose ssh or nxapi, simply set the connection: parameter accordingly.

          saltmaster:/srv/pillar$cat n7k-proxy.sls
          proxy:
            proxytype: nxos

            # Specify ssh or nxapi connection type (default is ssh)
            #connection: ssh
            connection: nxapi

            # Parameters Common to both SSH and NX-API
            host: n7k.example.com
            username: admin
            password: password

            # SSH Parameters
            prompt_name: n7k
            ssh_args: '-o PubkeyAuthentication=no'
            key_accept: True

            # NX-API Parameters
            transport: https
            port: 443
            verify: False

            # Option to prevent auto-save after each configuration command.
            # Setting this to True will improve performance when using
            # nxos execution module functions to configure the device.
            no_save_config: True

       • For the most current nxos proxy minion configuration options, See salt.proxy.nxos

       • For the most current list of nxos execution module functions, See salt.modules.nxos

   GuestShell Salt Minion Installation
       This section is only required when running the SaltStack Minion from the guestshell.

   STEP 1a: Enable the Guestshell on low footprint N3ks
       NOTE: Skip down to STEP 1b if the target system is not a low footprint N3k.

       Nexus 3xxx switches with 4 GB RAM and 1.6 GB bootflash are advised to use compacted images
       to  reduce the storage resources consumed by the image. As part of the compaction process,
       the guestshell.ova is removed from the system image.  To make use  of  the  guestshell  on
       these systems, the guestshell.ova may be downloaded and used to install the guestshell.

       Guestshell OVA Download Link

       Starting  in  release  9.2(1)  and  onward,  the  .ova file can be copied to the volatile:
       directory which frees up more space on bootflash:.

       Copy the guestshell.ova file to volatile: if supported, otherwise copy it to bootflash:

          n3xxx# copy scp://admin@1.2.3.4/guestshell.ova volatile: vrf management
          guestshell.ova 100% 55MB 10.9MB/s 00:05
          Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)...
          Copy complete.

       Use the guestshell enable command to install and enable guestshell.

          n3xxx# guestshell enable package volatile:guestshell.ova

   STEP 1b: Enable the Guestshell
       The guestshell container environment is enabled by default on most platforms; however, the
       default  disk  and  memory  resources  allotted  to  guestshell are typically too small to
       support SaltStack Minion requirements. The resource limits may be increased with the NX-OS
       CLI guestshell resize commands as shown below.

   Resource Requirements
                                        ┌─────────┬─────────────┐
                                        │Resource │ Recommended │
                                        ├─────────┼─────────────┤
                                        │Disk     │ 1000 MB     │
                                        ├─────────┼─────────────┤
                                        │Memory   │ 350 MB      │
                                        └─────────┴─────────────┘

       show guestshell detail displays the current resource limits:

          n3k# show guestshell detail
          Virtual service guestshell+ detail
            State                 : Activated
          ...
            Resource reservation
            Disk                : 150 MB
            Memory              : 128 MB

       guestshell  resize rootfs sets disk size limits while guestshell resize memory sets memory
       limits. The resize commands do not take effect until after  the  guestshell  container  is
       (re)started by guestshell reboot or guestshell enable.

       Example.  Allocate resources for guestshell by setting new limits to 1000MB disk and 350MB
       memory.

          n3k# guestshell resize rootfs 1000
          n3k# guestshell resize memory 350

          n3k# guestshell reboot
          Are you sure you want to reboot the guest shell? (y/n) [n] y

   STEP 2: Set Up Guestshell Network
       The guestshell is an independent CentOS container that  does  not  inherit  settings  from
       NX-OS.

       • Use guestshell to enter the guestshell environment, then become root.

       • Optional: Use chvrf to specify a vrf namespace; e.g. sudo chvrf management

          n3k#  guestshell

          [guestshell@guestshell ~]$ sudo su -          # Optional: sudo chvrf management
          [root@guestshell guestshell]#

       OPTIONAL: Add DNS Configuration

          [root@guestshell guestshell]#  cat >> /etc/resolv.conf << EOF
          nameserver 10.0.0.202
          domain mycompany.com
          EOF

       OPTIONAL:  Define  proxy  server  variables if needed to allow network access to SaltStack
       package repositories

          export http_proxy=http://proxy.yourdomain.com:<port>
          export https_proxy=https://proxy.yourdomain.com:<port>

   STEP 3: Install SaltStack Minion
       Install the python3 and python3-pip packages.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# yum install python3 python3-pip

       OPTIONAL: Upgrade the pip installer
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# pip3 install --upgrade pip

       Install the certifi python package.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# pip3 install certifi

       The most current information on installing the SaltStack Minion in a CentOS 7  environment
       can be found here

       Information from the install guide is provided here for convenience.

       Run the following commands to install the SaltStack repository and key:

          [root@guestshell guestshell]# rpm --import https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/redhat/7/x86_64/latest/SALTSTACK-GPG-KEY.pub
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# curl -fsSL https://repo.saltproject.io/py3/redhat/7/x86_64/latest.repo | tee /etc/yum.repos.d/salt.repo

       Run the following command to force yum to revalidate the cache for each repository.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# yum clean expire-cache

       Install the Salt Minion.
          [root@guestshell guestshell]# yum install salt-minion

   STEP 4: Configure SaltStack Minion
       Make  the  following  changes  to  the  /etc/salt/minion  configuration  file in the NX-OS
       GuestShell.

       Change the master: directive to point to the SaltStack Master.

          - #master: salt
          + master: saltmaster.example.com

       Change the id: directive to easily identify the minion running in the GuestShell.

       Example:

          - #id: salt
          + id: n3k-guestshell-minion

       Start the Minion in the Guestshell and accept the key on the SaltStack Master.
          [root@guestshell ~]# systemctl start salt-minion

          saltmaster: salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          n3k-guestshell-minion
          Rejected Keys:

          saltmaster: salt-key -A
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          n3k-guestshell-minion
          Proceed? [n/Y] Y
          Key for minion n3k-guestshell-minion accepted.

       Ping the SaltStack Minion running in the Guestshell.

          saltmaster: salt n3k-guestshell-minion nxos.ping
          n3k-guestshell-minion:
            True

   GuestShell Salt Minion Persistence
       This section documents  SaltStack  Minion  persistence  in  the  guestshell  after  system
       restarts and high availability switchovers.

       The  guestshell  container  does not automatically sync filesystem changes from the active
       processor to the standby processor. This means that SaltStack  Minion  installation  files
       and related file changes will not be present on the standby until they are manually synced
       with the following NX-OS exec command:

       guestshell sync

       The guestshell environment uses systemd  for  service  management.  The  SaltStack  Minion
       provides a generic systemd script when installed, but a slight modification as shown below
       is needed for nodes that run Salt in the management (or other vrf) namespace:

          --- /usr/lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service.old
          +++ /usr/lib/systemd/system/salt-minion.service
          [Unit]
          Description=The Salt Minion
          Documentation=man:salt-minion(1) file:///usr/share/doc/salt/html/contents.html
          https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/contents.html
          After=network.target salt-master.service

          [Service]
          KillMode=process
          Type=notify
          NotifyAccess=all
          LimitNOFILE=8192

          - ExecStart=/usr/bin/salt-minion
          + ExecStart=/bin/nsenter --net=/var/run/netns/management -- /usr/bin/salt-minion

          [Install]
          WantedBy=multi-user.target

       Change the pidfile: directive to point to the /run tmpfs location in the GuestShell.

          - #pidfile: /var/run/salt-minion.pid
          + pidfile: /run/salt-minion.pid

       Next, enable the SaltStack Minion systemd service (the enable command adds it  to  systemd
       for autostarting on the next boot) and optionally start it now:

          systemctl enable salt-minion
          systemctl start salt-minion

   OpenBSD
       Salt  was added to the OpenBSD ports tree on Aug 10th 2013.  It has been tested on OpenBSD
       5.5 onwards.

       Salt is  dependent  on  the  following  additional  ports.  These  will  be  installed  as
       dependencies of the sysutils/salt port:

          devel/py3-progressbar
          net/py3-msgpack
          net/py3-zmq
          security/py3-Cryptodome
          security/py3-M2Crypto
          sysutils/py3-distro
          textproc/py3-MarkupSafe
          textproc/py3-yaml
          www/py3-jinja2
          www/py3-requests

   Installation
       To install Salt from the OpenBSD package repo, use the command:

          pkg_add salt

   Post-installation tasks
       Master

       To have the Master start automatically at boot time:

          rcctl enable salt_master

       To start the Master:

          rcctl start salt_master

       Minion

       To have the Minion start automatically at boot time:

          rcctl enable salt_minion

       To start the Minion:

          rcctl start salt_minion

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   macOS
   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Latest stable build from the selected branch:

       The output of md5 <salt pkg> should match the contents of the corresponding md5 file.

       NOTE:Earlier builds from supported branchesArchived builds from unsupported branches

   Installation from Homebrew
          brew install saltstack

       It should be noted that Homebrew explicitly discourages the use of sudo:
          Homebrew  is  designed  to  work  without  using  sudo. You can decide to use it but we
          strongly recommend not to do so. If you have used sudo and run into a bug  then  it  is
          likely  to  be  the  cause.  Please don’t file a bug report unless you can reproduce it
          after reinstalling Homebrew from scratch without using sudo

   Installation from MacPorts
       Macports isolates its dependencies from  the  OS,  and  installs  salt  in  /opt/local  by
       default, with config files under /opt/local/etc/salt. For best results, add /opt/local/bin
       to your PATH.

          sudo port install salt

       Variants allow selection of python version used to run salt, defaulting to  python27,  but
       also supporting python34, python35, and python36. To install salt with Python 3.6, use the
       python36 variant, for example:

          sudo port install salt @python36

       Startup items (for master,  minion,  and  rest-cherrypy  API  gateway,  respectively)  are
       installed   by   subport   targets.   These   will   register   launchd  LaunchDaemons  as
       org.macports.salt-minion, for example, to trigger automatic  startup  of  the  salt-minion
       through  launchd.  LaunchDaemons  for salt can be started and stopped without reboot using
       the macprots load and unload commands.

          sudo port install salt-master salt-minion salt-api
          sudo port load salt-master salt-minion salt-api

   Installation from Pip
       When only using the macOS system's pip, install this way:

          sudo pip install salt

   Salt-Master Customizations
       NOTE:
          Salt master on macOS is not tested or supported by SaltStack.  See  SaltStack  Platform
          Support for more information.

       To  run  salt-master  on macOS, sudo add this configuration option to the /etc/salt/master
       file:

          max_open_files: 8192

       On versions previous to macOS 10.10 (Yosemite), increase the root user maxfiles limit:

          sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 4096 8192

       NOTE:
          On macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) and higher, maxfiles should  not  be  adjusted.  The  default
          limits  are  sufficient in all but the most extreme scenarios.  Overriding these values
          with the setting below will cause system instability!

       Now the salt-master should run without errors:

          sudo salt-master --log-level=all

   Post-installation tasks
       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   RHEL / CentOS / Scientific Linux / Amazon Linux / Oracle Linux
       Salt should work properly with all mainstream derivatives of  Red  Hat  Enterprise  Linux,
       including  CentOS,  Scientific  Linux, Oracle Linux, and Amazon Linux.  Report any bugs or
       issues on the issue tracker.

   Installation from the Official Salt Project Repository
       Packages for  Redhat,  CentOS,  and  Amazon  Linux  are  available  in  the  Salt  Project
       Repository.

       • Red Hat / CentOSAmazon Linux

       NOTE:
          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          Red Hat / CentOSArchive 1Archive 2

          If looking to use archives, the same directions from the RHEL/CentOS install directions
          can be used by replacing the URL paths  with  the  appropriate  archive  location.  The
          repository  configuration  endpoint also needs to be adjusted to point to the archives.
          Here is an example sed command:

              # Salt repo configurations are found in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory
              sed -i 's/repo.saltproject.io/archive.repo.saltproject.io/g' /etc/yum.repos.d/salt*.repo

          Amazon LinuxArchive 1Archive 2

          If looking to use archives, the same directions from the Amazon install directions  can
          be  used  by  replacing  the  URL  paths  with  the  appropriate  archive location. The
          repository configuration endpoint also needs to be adjusted to point to  the  archives.
          Here is an example sed command:

          @base  installation  or  by  the Salt installation. These dependencies might need to be
          installed before Salt.

   Installation Using pip
       Since Salt is on PyPI, it can be installed using pip, though most users prefer to  install
       using  RPM  packages  (which  can  be  installed  by  following the directions in the Salt
       Repository).

       Installing from pip has a few additional requirements:

       • Install the group 'Development Tools', yum groupinstall 'Development Tools'

       • Install the 'zeromq-devel' package if it fails on linking  against  that  afterwards  as
         well.

       A pip install does not make the init scripts or the /etc/salt directory, and you will need
       to provide your own systemd service unit.

       Installation from pip:

          pip install salt

       WARNING:
          If installing from pip (or from source using setup.py install),  be  advised  that  the
          yum-utils  package  is  needed  for  Salt  to  manage  packages.  Also,  if  the Python
          dependencies are not already installed, then you will need  additional  libraries/tools
          installed to build some of them.  More information on this can be found here.

   ZeroMQ 4
       We  recommend using ZeroMQ 4 where available. Salt Project provides ZeroMQ 4.3.1 and pyzmq
       17.0.0 in the Salt Repository.

       If this repository is added before Salt is installed, then installing  either  salt-master
       or  salt-minion  will  automatically pull in ZeroMQ 4.3.1, and additional steps to upgrade
       ZeroMQ and pyzmq are unnecessary.

   Package Management
       Salt's interface to yum makes heavy use of  the  repoquery  utility,  from  the  yum-utils
       package.  If salt has been installed using pip, or a host is being managed using salt-ssh,
       then as of version 2014.7.0 yum-utils will be  installed  automatically  to  satisfy  this
       dependency.

   Post-installation tasks
   Master
       To have the Master start automatically at boot time:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl enable salt-master.service

       To start the Master:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl start salt-master.service

   Minion
       To have the Minion start automatically at boot time:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl enable salt-minion.service

       To start the Minion:

       RHEL/CentOS 7 and 8

          systemctl start salt-minion.service

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Solaris
       Salt is known to work on Solaris but community packages are unmaintained.

       It is possible to install Salt on Solaris by using setuptools.

       For example, to install the develop version of salt:

          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt
          cd salt
          sudo python setup.py install --force

       NOTE:
          SaltStack  does offer commercial support for Solaris which includes packages.  Packages
          can be found on the Downloads  page  of  the  Enterprise  Installation  Guide  and  are
          downloadable with a SaltStack Enterprise account.

   Ubuntu
   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Packages  for  Ubuntu  20.04  (Focal),  Ubuntu  18.04 (Bionic), and Ubuntu 16 (Xenial) are
       available in the SaltStack repository.

       Instructions are at https://repo.saltproject.io/#ubuntu.

       NOTE:
          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          • Archive 1Archive 2

          If looking to use archives, the same directions from the Ubuntu install directions  can
          be  used  by  replacing  the  URL  paths  with  the  appropriate  archive location. The
          repository configuration endpoint also needs to be adjusted to point to  the  archives.
          Here is an example sed command:

              # Salt repo configurations are found in the /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list directory
              sed -i 's/repo.saltproject.io/archive.repo.saltproject.io/g' /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salt.list

   Install Packages
       Install  the  Salt  master,  minion or other packages from the repository with the apt-get
       command. These examples each install one of Salt components, but  more  than  one  package
       name may be given at a time:

       • apt-get install salt-apiapt-get install salt-cloudapt-get install salt-masterapt-get install salt-minionapt-get install salt-sshapt-get install salt-syndic

   Post-installation tasks
       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Windows
       Salt  has  full  support  for running the Salt minion on Windows. You must connect Windows
       Salt minions to a Salt master on  a  supported  operating  system  to  control  your  Salt
       Minions.

       Many of the standard Salt modules have been ported to work on Windows and many of the Salt
       States currently work on Windows as well.

   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       Latest stable build from the selected branch:

       The output of md5sum <salt minion exe> should match the contents of the corresponding  md5
       file.

       There are installers available for Python 3. Starting with Salt 3001, only Python 3 builds
       of the Windows Salt Minion will be built. Python 2 builds exist for  earlier  Salt  Minion
       versions.

       NOTE:Earlier builds from supported branches

          Archived builds from unsupported branches:

          • Archive 1Archive 2

       NOTE:
          The installation executable installs dependencies that the Salt minion requires.

       The  64bit  and  32bit installers have been tested on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2,
       Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019. 32bit installers have only  been
       tested  on  64bit systems. Please file a bug report on our GitHub repo if issues for other
       platforms are found.

       The installer will detect previous installations of Salt and ask  if  you  would  like  to
       remove  them.  Clicking  OK  will remove the Salt binaries and related files but leave any
       existing config, cache, and PKI information.

   Salt Minion Installation
       If the system is missing  the  appropriate  version  of  the  Visual  C++  Redistributable
       (vcredist)  the  user  will  be  prompted to install it. Click OK to install the vcredist.
       Click Cancel to abort the installation without making modifications to the system.

       If Salt is already installed on the system  the  user  will  be  prompted  to  remove  the
       previous  installation. Click OK to uninstall Salt without removing the configuration, PKI
       information, or cached files. Click Cancel to abort the  installation  before  making  any
       modifications to the system.

       After  the  Welcome  and  the  License  Agreement,  the  installer  asks  for  two bits of
       information to configure the minion;  the  master  hostname  and  the  minion  name.   The
       installer will update the minion config with these options.

       If the installer finds an existing minion config file, these fields will be populated with
       values from the existing config, but they will be  grayed  out.   There  will  also  be  a
       checkbox to use the existing config. If you continue, the existing config will be used. If
       the checkbox is unchecked, default values  are  displayed  and  can  be  changed.  If  you
       continue,  the  existing  config  file  in  c:\salt\conf  will  be  removed along with the
       c:\salt\conf\minion.d directory. The values entered will be used with the default config.

       The final page allows you to start the minion service and optionally  change  its  startup
       type.  By default, the minion is set to Automatic. You can change the minion start type to
       Automatic (Delayed Start) by checking the 'Delayed Start' checkbox.

       NOTE:
          Highstates that require a reboot may fail  after  reboot  because  salt  continues  the
          highstate  before  Windows  has  finished  the  booting  process.  This can be fixed by
          changing the startup type to 'Automatic (Delayed Start)'. The drawback is that  it  may
          increase the time it takes for the 'salt-minion' service to actually start.

       The  salt-minion  service  will  appear  in the Windows Service Manager and can be managed
       there or from the command line like any other Windows service.

          sc start salt-minion
          net start salt-minion

   Installation Prerequisites
       Most Salt functionality should work just fine right out of the box.  A  few  Salt  modules
       rely  on  PowerShell. The minimum version of PowerShell required for Salt is version 3. If
       you intend to work with DSC then Powershell version 5 is the minimum.

   Silent Installer Options
       The installer can be run silently by providing the /S option  at  the  command  line.  The
       installer also accepts the following options for configuring the Salt Minion silently:

          # Configure the minion and start the service

          Salt-Minion-3001-Py3-AMD64-Setup.exe /S /master=yoursaltmaster /minion-name=yourminionname

          # Install the Salt Minion
          # Configure the minion but don't start the minion service

          Salt-Minion-3001-Py3-AMD64-Setup.exe /S /master=yoursaltmaster /minion-name=yourminionname /start-minion=0

          # Install the Salt Minion

   Building and Developing on Windows
       This  document  will  explain how to set up a development environment for Salt on Windows.
       The development environment allows you to work with the source code to  customize  or  fix
       bugs. It will also allow you to build your own installation.

       There  are  several scripts to automate creating a Windows installer as well as setting up
       an environment that facilitates developing and troubleshooting Salt code. They are located
       in the pkg\windows directory in the Salt repo (here).

                          └────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────┘

       NOTE:
          The  build.bat and build_pkg.bat scripts both accept a parameter to specify the version
          of Salt that will be displayed in the Windows installer.  If no version is passed,  the
          version will be determined using git.

          Both  scripts  also  accept an additional parameter to specify the version of Python to
          use. The default is 2.

   Prerequisite Software
       The only prerequisite is Git for Windows.

   Create a Build Environment
   1. Working Directory
       Create a Salt-Dev directory on the root  of  C:.  This  will  be  our  working  directory.
       Navigate to Salt-Dev and clone the Salt repo from GitHub.

       Open a command line and type:

          cd \
          md Salt-Dev
          cd Salt-Dev
          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       Go  into  the  salt  directory  and  checkout  the version of salt to work with (2016.3 or
       higher).

          cd salt
          git checkout 2017.7.2

   2. Setup the Python Environment
       Navigate to the pkg\windows directory and execute the build_env.ps1 PowerShell script.

          cd pkg\windows
          powershell -file build_env_2.ps1

       NOTE:
          You can also do this from Explorer by navigating to the  pkg\windows  directory,  right
          clicking the build_env_2.ps1 powershell script and selecting Run with PowerShell

       This  will  download  and install Python 2 with all the dependencies needed to develop and
       build Salt.

       NOTE:
          If you get an error or the script fails to run you may need  to  change  the  execution
          policy. Open a powershell window and type the following command:

          Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

   3. Salt in Editable Mode
       Editable  mode  allows  you  to  more  easily  modify  and  test the source code. For more
       information see the Pip documentation.

       Navigate to the root of the salt directory and install Salt in editable mode with pip

          cd \Salt-Dev\salt
          pip install -e .

       NOTE:
          The . is important

       NOTE:
          If pip is not recognized, you may need to restart your shell to get the updated path

       NOTE:
          If pip is still not recognized make sure that the  Python  Scripts  folder  is  in  the
          System %PATH%. (C:\Python2\Scripts)

   4. Setup Salt Configuration
       Salt  requires a minion configuration file and a few other directories. The default config
       file is named minion located in C:\salt\conf. The easiest way to set this up  is  to  copy
       the contents of the salt\pkg\windows\buildenv directory to C:\salt.

          cd \
          md salt
          xcopy /s /e \Salt-Dev\salt\pkg\windows\buildenv\* \salt\

       Now  go  into  the C:\salt\conf directory and edit the minion config file named minion (no
       extension). You need to configure the master and id parameters  in  this  file.  Edit  the
       following lines:

          master: <ip or name of your master>
          id: <name of your minion>

   Create a Windows Installer
       To create a Windows installer, follow steps 1 and 2 from Create a Build Environment above.
       Then proceed to 3 below:

   3. Install Salt
       To create the installer for Window we install Salt using Python instead of pip.   Navigate
       to the root salt directory and install Salt.

          cd \Salt-Dev\salt
          python setup.py install

   4. Create the Windows Installer
       Navigate  to  the  pkg\windows  directory and run the build_pkg.bat with the build version
       (2017.7.2) and the Python version as parameters.

          cd pkg\windows
          build_pkg.bat 2017.7.2 2
                        ^^^^^^^^ ^
                            |    |
          # build version --     |
          # python version ------

       NOTE:
          If no version is passed, the build_pkg.bat will guess the version number using git.  If
          the python version is not passed, the default is 2.

   Creating a Windows Installer: Alternate Method (Easier)
       Clone  the  Salt  repo  from  GitHub into the directory of your choice. We're going to use
       Salt-Dev.

          cd \
          md Salt-Dev
          cd Salt-Dev
          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       Go into the salt directory and checkout the version of Salt you want to build.

          cd salt
          git checkout 2017.7.2

       Then navigate to pkg\windows  and  run  the  build.bat  script  with  the  version  you're
       building.

          cd pkg\windows
          build.bat 2017.7.2 3
                    ^^^^^^^^ ^
                        |    |
          # build version    |
          # python version --

       This  will install everything needed to build a Windows installer for Salt using Python 3.
       The binary will be in the salt\pkg\windows\installer directory.

   Testing the Salt minion
       1. Create the directory C:\salt (if it doesn't exist already)

       2.

          Copy the example conf and var directories from
                 pkg\windows\buildenv into C:\salt

       3. Edit C:\salt\conf\minion

                 master: ipaddress or hostname of your salt-master

       4. Start the salt-minion

                 cd C:\Python27\Scripts
                 python salt-minion -l debug

       5. On the salt-master accept the new minion's key

                 sudo salt-key -A

             This accepts all unaccepted keys. If you're concerned about security just accept the
             key for this specific minion.

       6. Test that your minion is responding
             On the salt-master run:

                 sudo salt '*' test.version

       You should get the following response: {'your minion hostname': True}

   Packages Management Under Windows 2003
       Windows  Server  2003  and Windows XP have both reached End of Support. Though Salt is not
       officially supported on operating systems that are EoL, some functionality may continue to
       work.

       On  Windows  Server  2003,  you  need to install optional component "WMI Windows Installer
       Provider" to get a full list of installed packages. If you don't  have  this,  salt-minion
       can't report some installed software.

   SUSE
   Installation from the Official SaltStack Repository
       The SaltStack Repository has packages available for the following platforms:

       • SLES 11 SP4

       • SLES 12 / SLES 12 SP1 through SP4

       • SLES 15

       • openSUSE Leap 15.0, 15.1, 42.2, 42.3

       • openSUSE Tumbleweed

       Instructions are at https://repo.saltproject.io/#suse.

   Installation from the SUSE Repository
       Since  openSUSE  13.2,  Salt  has  been  available  in the primary repositories.  With the
       release of SUSE manager 3 a new repository setup has been created.  The new repo  will  by
       systemsmanagement:saltstack,  which  is the source for newer stable packages. For backward
       compatibility a linkpackage will be created to the old  devel:language:python  repo.   All
       development  of  suse  packages will be done in systemsmanagement:saltstack:testing.  This
       will ensure that salt will be in mainline suse repo's, a stable release repo and a testing
       repo for further enhancements.

   Installation
       Salt  can  be  installed  using  zypper  and  is  available  in the standard openSUSE/SLES
       repositories.

   Stable Release
       Salt is packaged separately for the minion and the master. It is necessary only to install
       the  appropriate  package for the role the machine will play. Typically, there will be one
       master and multiple minions.

          zypper install salt-master
          zypper install salt-minion

   Post-installation tasks openSUSE
       Master

   Unstable Release
   openSUSE
       For openSUSE Leap or Tumbleweed systems, run the following as root:

          zypper install salt salt-minion salt-master

   SUSE Linux Enterprise
       For SLES 15 and above run the following as root:

          zypper install salt salt-minion salt-master

       Now go to the Configuring Salt page.

   Initial Configuration
   Configuring Salt
       Salt configuration is very simple. The default configuration for the master will work  for
       most installations and the only requirement for setting up a minion is to set the location
       of the master in the minion configuration file.

       The configuration files will be installed to /etc/salt and are named after the  respective
       components, /etc/salt/master, and /etc/salt/minion.

   Master Configuration
       By  default the Salt master listens on ports 4505 and 4506 on all interfaces (0.0.0.0). To
       bind Salt to a specific IP, redefine the "interface" directive in the master configuration
       file, typically /etc/salt/master, as follows:

          - #interface: 0.0.0.0
          + interface: 10.0.0.1

       After  updating  the  configuration  file,  restart  the  Salt  master.   See  the  master
       configuration reference for more details about other configurable options.

   Minion Configuration
       Although there are many Salt Minion configuration options, configuring a  Salt  Minion  is
       very  simple.  By default a Salt Minion will try to connect to the DNS name "salt"; if the
       Minion is able to resolve that name correctly, no configuration is needed.

       If the DNS name "salt" does not resolve to point to the correct location  of  the  Master,
       redefine   the   "master"   directive   in   the   minion  configuration  file,  typically
       /etc/salt/minion, as follows:

          - #master: salt
          + master: 10.0.0.1

       After  updating  the  configuration  file,  restart  the  Salt  minion.   See  the  minion
       configuration reference for more details about other configurable options.

   Proxy Minion Configuration
       A proxy minion emulates the behaviour of a regular minion and inherits their options.

       Similarly, the configuration file is /etc/salt/proxy and the proxy tries to connect to the
       DNS name "salt".

       In addition to the regular minion options, there are  several  proxy-specific  -  see  the
       proxy minion configuration reference.

   Running Salt
       1. Start the master in the foreground (to daemonize the process, pass the -d flag):

             salt-master

       2. Start the minion in the foreground (to daemonize the process, pass the -d flag):

             salt-minion

          Having trouble?

                 The  simplest  way  to  troubleshoot Salt is to run the master and minion in the
                 foreground with log level set to debug:

              salt-master --log-level=debug

          For information on salt's logging system please see the logging document.

          Run as an unprivileged (non-root) user

                 To run Salt as another user, set the user parameter in the master config file.

                 Additionally, ownership, and permissions need to be set such  that  the  desired
                 user   can  read  from  and  write  to  the  following  directories  (and  their
                 subdirectories, where applicable):

          • /etc/salt

          • /var/cache/salt

          • /var/log/salt

          • /var/run/salt

          More information about running salt as a non-privileged user can be found here.

       There is also a full troubleshooting guide available.

   Key Identity
       Salt provides commands to validate the identity of  your  Salt  master  and  Salt  minions
       before  the  initial  key  exchange.  Validating  key  identity  helps avoid inadvertently
       connecting to the wrong Salt master, and  helps  prevent  a  potential  MiTM  attack  when
       establishing the initial connection.

   Master Key Fingerprint
       Print the master key fingerprint by running the following command on the Salt master:

          salt-key -F master

       Copy  the  master.pub  fingerprint from the Local Keys section, and then set this value as
       the master_finger in the minion configuration file. Save the configuration file  and  then
       restart the Salt minion.

   Minion Key Fingerprint
       Run the following command on each Salt minion to view the minion key fingerprint:

          salt-call --local key.finger

       Compare  this  value  to  the  value  that is displayed when you run the salt-key --finger
       <MINION_ID> command on the Salt master.

   Key Management
       Salt uses AES encryption for all communication between the Master  and  the  Minion.  This
       ensures  that  the  commands  sent  to  the  Minions  cannot  be  tampered  with, and that
       communication between Master and Minion is authenticated through trusted, accepted keys.

       Before commands can be sent to a Minion, its key must be accepted on the Master.  Run  the
       salt-key command to list the keys known to the Salt Master:

          [root@master ~]# salt-key -L
          Unaccepted Keys:
          alpha
          bravo
          charlie
          delta
          Accepted Keys:

       This example shows that the Salt Master is aware of four Minions, but none of the keys has
       been accepted. To accept the keys and allow the Minions to be controlled  by  the  Master,
       again use the salt-key command:

          [root@master ~]# salt-key -A
          [root@master ~]# salt-key -L
          Unaccepted Keys:
          Accepted Keys:
          alpha
          bravo
          charlie
          delta

       The  salt-key  command allows for signing keys individually or in bulk. The example above,
       using -A bulk-accepts all pending keys. To accept keys individually use the  lowercase  of
       the same option, -a keyname.

       SEE ALSO:
          salt-key manpage

   Sending Commands
       Communication  between the Master and a Minion may be verified by running the test.version
       command:

          [root@master ~]# salt alpha test.version
          alpha:
              2018.3.4

       Communication between the Master and all Minions may be tested in a similar way:

          [root@master ~]# salt '*' test.version
          alpha:
              2018.3.4
          bravo:
              2018.3.4
          charlie:
              2018.3.4
          delta:
              2018.3.4

       Each of the Minions should send a 2018.3.4 response as shown  above,  or  any  other  salt
       version installed.

   What's Next?
       Understanding  targeting  is  important.  From there, depending on the way you wish to use
       Salt,  you  should  also  proceed  to  learn  about  Remote  Execution  and  Configuration
       Management.

   Additional Installation Guides
   Salt Bootstrap
       The  Salt Bootstrap Script allows a user to install the Salt Minion or Master on a variety
       of system distributions and versions.

       The Salt Bootstrap Script is a shell  script  is  known  as  bootstrap-salt.sh.   It  runs
       through  a  series  of  checks to determine the operating system type and version. It then
       installs the Salt binaries using the appropriate methods.

       The Salt Bootstrap Script installs the minimum number of packages required  to  run  Salt.
       This means that in the event you run the bootstrap to install via package, Git will not be
       installed. Installing the minimum number of packages helps  ensure  the  script  stays  as
       lightweight  as possible, assuming the user will install any other required packages after
       the Salt binaries are present on the system.

       The Salt Bootstrap Script is maintained in a separate repo from Salt,  complete  with  its
       own issues, pull requests, contributing guidelines, release protocol, etc.

       To learn more, please see the Salt Bootstrap repo links:

       • Salt Bootstrap repoREADME: includes supported operating systems, example usage, and more.

       • Contributing GuidelinesRelease Process

       NOTE:
          The   Salt   Bootstrap   script   can   be   found   in   the   Salt   repo  under  the
          salt/cloud/deploy/bootstrap-salt.sh path. Any changes to this file will be overwritten!
          Bug  fixes  and feature additions must be submitted via the Salt Bootstrap repo. Please
          see the Salt Bootstrap Script's Release Process for more information.

   Opening the Firewall up for Salt
       The Salt master communicates with the minions using an  AES-encrypted  ZeroMQ  connection.
       These communications are done over TCP ports 4505 and 4506, which need to be accessible on
       the master only. This document  outlines  suggested  firewall  rules  for  allowing  these
       incoming connections to the master.

       NOTE:
          No  firewall configuration needs to be done on Salt minions. These changes refer to the
          master only.

   Fedora 18 and beyond / RHEL 7 / CentOS 7
       Starting with Fedora 18 FirewallD is the tool that  is  used  to  dynamically  manage  the
       firewall rules on a host. It has support for IPv4/6 settings and the separation of runtime
       and permanent configurations. To interact with  FirewallD  use  the  command  line  client
       firewall-cmd.

       firewall-cmd example:

          firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=<zone> --add-port=4505-4506/tcp

       A  network  zone  defines  the  security  level of trust for the network.  The user should
       choose an appropriate zone value for their setup.  Possible values include:  drop,  block,
       public, external, dmz, work, home, internal, trusted.

       Don't forget to reload after you made your changes.

          firewall-cmd --reload

   RHEL 6 / CentOS 6
       The  lokkit command packaged with some Linux distributions makes opening iptables firewall
       ports very simple via the command line. Just be careful to not  lock  out  access  to  the
       server by neglecting to open the ssh port.

       lokkit example:

          lokkit -p 22:tcp -p 4505:tcp -p 4506:tcp

       The  system-config-firewall-tui  command  provides a text-based interface to modifying the
       firewall.

       system-config-firewall-tui:

          system-config-firewall-tui

   openSUSE
       Salt installs  firewall  rules  in  /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2.d/services/salt.   Enable
       with:

          SuSEfirewall2 open
          SuSEfirewall2 start

       If  you  have an older package of Salt where the above configuration file is not included,
       the SuSEfirewall2 command makes opening  iptables  firewall  ports  very  simple  via  the
       command line.

       SuSEfirewall example:

          SuSEfirewall2 open EXT TCP 4505
          SuSEfirewall2 open EXT TCP 4506

       The firewall module in YaST2 provides a text-based interface to modifying the firewall.

   Windows
       Windows  Firewall  is the default component of Microsoft Windows that provides firewalling
       and packet filtering. There are many 3rd party firewalls available for  Windows,  some  of
       which  use  rules  from  the  Windows  Firewall.  If you are experiencing problems see the
       vendor's specific documentation for opening the required ports.

       The Windows Firewall can be configured using the Windows Interface  or  from  the  command
       line.

       Windows Firewall (interface):

       1. Open  the Windows Firewall Interface by typing wf.msc at the command prompt or in a run
          dialog (Windows Key + R)

       2. Navigate to Inbound Rules in the console tree

       3. Add a new rule by clicking New Rule... in the Actions area

       4. Change the Rule Type to Port. Click Next

       5. Set the Protocol to TCP and specify local ports 4505-4506. Click Next

       6. Set the Action to Allow the connection. Click Next

       7. Apply the rule to Domain, Private, and Public. Click Next

       8. Give the new rule a Name, ie: Salt. You may also add a description. Click Finish

       Windows Firewall (command line):

       The Windows Firewall rule can be created by issuing a single command.  Run  the  following
       command from the command line or a run prompt:

          netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="Salt" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=4505-4506

   iptables
       Different  Linux  distributions  store  their  iptables (also known as netfilter) rules in
       different places, which makes it difficult to standardize firewall documentation. Included
       are some of the more common locations, but your mileage may vary.

       Fedora / RHEL / CentOS:

          /etc/sysconfig/iptables

       Arch Linux:

          /etc/iptables/iptables.rules

       Debian

       Follow these instructions: https://wiki.debian.org/iptables

       Once  you've found your firewall rules, you'll need to add the below line to allow traffic
       on tcp/4505 and tcp/4506:

          -A INPUT -m state --state new -m tcp -p tcp --dport 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT

       Ubuntu

       Salt installs firewall rules in /etc/ufw/applications.d/salt.ufw. Enable with:

          ufw allow salt

   pf.conf
       The BSD-family of operating  systems  uses  packet  filter  (pf).  The  following  example
       describes the addition to pf.conf needed to access the Salt master.

          pass in on $int_if proto tcp from any to $int_if port 4505:4506

       Once  this  addition has been made to the pf.conf the rules will need to be reloaded. This
       can be done using the pfctl command.

          pfctl -vf /etc/pf.conf

   Whitelist communication to Master
       There are situations where you want to selectively  allow  Minion  traffic  from  specific
       hosts  or  networks  into  your  Salt Master. The first scenario which comes to mind is to
       prevent unwanted traffic to your Master out of security concerns, but another scenario  is
       to  handle  Minion  upgrades  when  there  are  backwards incompatible changes between the
       installed Salt versions in your environment.

       Here is an example Linux iptables ruleset to be set on the Master:

          # Allow Minions from these networks
          -I INPUT -s 10.1.2.0/24 -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT
          -I INPUT -s 10.1.3.0/24 -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT
          # Allow Salt to communicate with Master on the loopback interface
          -A INPUT -i lo -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j ACCEPT
          # Reject everything else
          -A INPUT -p tcp --dports 4505:4506 -j REJECT

       NOTE:
          The important thing to note here is that the salt command needs to communicate with the
          listening  network  socket  of  salt-master on the loopback interface. Without this you
          will see no outgoing Salt  traffic  from  the  master,  even  for  a  simple  salt  '*'
          test.version, because the salt client never reached the salt-master to tell it to carry
          out the execution.

   Preseed Minion with Accepted Key
       In some situations, it is not convenient to wait for a minion to  start  before  accepting
       its  key  on the master. For instance, you may want the minion to bootstrap itself as soon
       as it comes online. You may also want to let your  developers  provision  new  development
       machines on the fly.

       SEE ALSO:
          Many ways to preseed minion keys

          Salt  has  other  ways to generate and pre-accept minion keys in addition to the manual
          steps outlined below.

          salt-cloud performs these same steps automatically  when  new  cloud  VMs  are  created
          (unless instructed not to).

          salt-api  exposes  an  HTTP  call  to  Salt's REST API to generate and download the new
          minion keys as a tarball.

       There is a general four step process to do this:

       1. Generate the keys on the master:

          root@saltmaster# salt-key --gen-keys=[key_name]

       Pick a name for the key, such as the minion's id.

       2. Add the public key to the accepted minion folder:

          root@saltmaster# cp key_name.pub /etc/salt/pki/master/minions/[minion_id]

       It is necessary that the public key file has the same name as your minion id.  This is how
       Salt  matches  minions  with  their  keys.  Also  note  that  the pki folder could be in a
       different location, depending on your OS or if specified in the master config file.

       3. Distribute the minion keys.

       There is no single method to get the keypair to your minion.  The difficulty is finding  a
       distribution  method  which is secure. For Amazon EC2 only, an AWS best practice is to use
       IAM       Roles       to       pass       credentials.       (See        blog        post,
       https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/security/using-iam-roles-to-distribute-non-aws-credentials-to-your-ec2-instances/
       )

          Security Warning

                 Since the minion key is already accepted on the master, distributing the private
                 key  poses a potential security risk. A malicious party will have access to your
                 entire state tree and other sensitive data if they gain access  to  a  preseeded
                 minion key.

       4. Preseed the Minion with the keys

       You will want to place the minion keys before starting the salt-minion daemon:

          /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pub

       Once  in  place,  you should be able to start salt-minion and run salt-call state.apply or
       any other salt commands that require master authentication.

   The macOS (Maverick) Developer Step By Step Guide To Salt Installation
       This document provides a step-by-step guide to installing a  Salt  cluster  consisting  of
       one master, and one minion running on a local VM hosted on macOS.

       NOTE:
          This  guide  is  aimed  at  developers  who wish to run Salt in a virtual machine.  The
          official (Linux) walkthrough can be found here.

   The 5 Cent Salt Intro
       Since you're here you've probably already heard about Salt, so you already know Salt  lets
       you  configure and run commands on hordes of servers easily.  Here's a brief overview of a
       Salt cluster:

       • Salt works by having a "master" server sending commands  to  one  or  multiple  "minion"
         servers.  The  master  server is the "command center". It is going to be the place where
         you store your configuration files, aka: "which server is  the  db,  which  is  the  web
         server, and what libraries and software they should have installed". The minions receive
         orders from the master.  Minions are the  servers  actually  performing  work  for  your
         business.

       • Salt has two types of configuration files:

         1.  the  "salt  communication  channels" or "meta"  or "config" configuration files (not
         official names): one for the  master  (usually  is  /etc/salt/master  ,  on  the  master
         server),  and  one for minions (default is /etc/salt/minion or /etc/salt/minion.conf, on
         the minion servers). Those files are used to determine things like the Salt  Master  IP,
         port,  Salt  folder  locations,  etc.. If these are configured incorrectly, your minions
         will probably be unable to receive orders from the master, or the master will  not  know
         which software a given minion should install.

         2.  the  "business" or "service" configuration files (once again, not an official name):
         these are configuration  files,  ending  with  ".sls"  extension,  that  describe  which
         software  should run on which server, along with particular configuration properties for
         the software that is being installed. These files should be  created  in  the  /srv/salt
         folder  by  default,  but  their  location  can  be  changed  using ... /etc/salt/master
         configuration file!

       NOTE:
          This tutorial contains a third important configuration file, not to  be  confused  with
          the  previous  two: the virtual machine provisioning configuration file. This in itself
          is not specifically tied to Salt, but it also contains some Salt configuration. More on
          that  in  step 3. Also note that all configuration files are YAML files. So indentation
          matters.

       NOTE:
          Salt also works with "masterless" configuration where a minion is autonomous (in  which
          case  salt  can  be  seen  as  a  local  configuration  tool),  or in "multiple master"
          configuration. See the documentation for more on that.

   Before Digging In, The Architecture Of The Salt Cluster
   Salt Master
       The "Salt master" server is going to be the Mac OS machine, directly. Commands will be run
       from  a  terminal  app, so Salt will need to be installed on the Mac.  This is going to be
       more convenient for toying around with configuration files.

   Salt Minion
       We'll only have one "Salt minion" server. It is going to be running on a  Virtual  Machine
       running on the Mac, using VirtualBox. It will run an Ubuntu distribution.

   Step 1 - Configuring The Salt Master On Your Mac
       Official Documentation

       Because  Salt  has a lot of dependencies that are not built in macOS, we will use Homebrew
       to install Salt. Homebrew is a package manager for Mac,  it's  great,  use  it  (for  this
       tutorial  at  least!).  Some  people spend a lot of time installing libs by hand to better
       understand dependencies, and then realize how useful a package  manager  is  once  they're
       configuring  a  brand  new  machine  and  have  to  do it all over again. It also lets you
       uninstall things easily.

       NOTE:
          Brew is a Ruby program (Ruby is installed by default with your  Mac).  Brew  downloads,
          compiles,  and  links software. The linking phase is when compiled software is deployed
          on your machine. It may conflict with manually installed software,  especially  in  the
          /usr/local  directory.  It's ok, remove the manually installed version then refresh the
          link by typing brew link 'packageName'. Brew has a brew doctor command  that  can  help
          you  troubleshoot. It's a great command, use it often. Brew requires xcode command line
          tools. When you run brew the first time it asks you to  install  them  if  they're  not
          already  on  your  system. Brew installs software in /usr/local/bin (system bins are in
          /usr/bin). In order to use those bins you need your $PATH to search there  first.  Brew
          tells you if your $PATH needs to be fixed.

       TIP:
          Use  the  keyboard  shortcut  cmd  +  shift  + period in the "open" macOS dialog box to
          display hidden files and folders, such as .profile.

   Install Homebrew
       Install Homebrew here https://brew.sh/

       Or just type

          ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"

       Now type the following commands in your terminal (you may want to type brew  doctor  after
       each to make sure everything's fine):

          brew install python
          brew install swig
          brew install zmq

       NOTE:
          zmq is ZeroMQ. It's a fantastic library used for server to server network communication
          and is at the core of Salt efficiency.

   Install Salt
       You should now have everything ready to launch this command:

          pip install salt

       NOTE:
          There should be no need for sudo pip install salt. Brew installed Python for your user,
          so  you  should have all the access. In case you would like to check, type which python
          to  ensure  that  it's  /usr/local/bin/python,  and   which   pip   which   should   be
          /usr/local/bin/pip.

       Now  type  python in a terminal then, import salt. There should be no errors. Now exit the
       Python terminal using exit().

   Create The Master Configuration
       If the default /etc/salt/master configuration file was not  created,  copy-paste  it  from
       here:
       https://docs.saltproject.io/ref/configuration/examples.html#configuration-examples-master

       NOTE:
          /etc/salt/master is a file, not a folder.

       Salt Master configuration changes. The Salt master needs a few customization to be able to
       run on macOS:

          sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 4096 8192

       In  the  /etc/salt/master  file,  change  max_open_files  to  8192  (or just add the line:
       max_open_files: 8192 (no quote) if it doesn't already exists).

       You should now be able to launch the Salt master:

          sudo salt-master --log-level=all

       There should be no errors when running the above command.

       NOTE:
          This command is supposed to be a daemon, but for toying around, we'll keep  it  running
          on a terminal to monitor the activity.

       Now that the master is set, let's configure a minion on a VM.

   Step 2 - Configuring The Minion VM
       The  Salt minion is going to run on a Virtual Machine. There are a lot of software options
       that let you run virtual machines on a mac, But for  this  tutorial  we're  going  to  use
       VirtualBox. In addition to virtualBox, we will use Vagrant, which allows you to create the
       base VM configuration.

       Vagrant lets you build ready to use VM images, starting from an OS image  and  customizing
       it using "provisioners". In our case, we'll use it to:

       • Download the base Ubuntu image

       • Install salt on that Ubuntu image (Salt is going to be the "provisioner" for the VM).

       • Launch the VM

       • SSH into the VM to debug

       • Stop the VM once you're done.

   Install VirtualBox
       Go  get  it here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads (click on VirtualBox for macOS
       hosts => x86/amd64)

   Install Vagrant
       Go get it here: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html and  choose  the  latest  version
       (1.3.5 at time of writing), then the .dmg file. Double-click to install it.  Make sure the
       vagrant command is found when run in the terminal. Type vagrant. It should display a  list
       of commands.

   Create The Minion VM Folder
       Create  a folder in which you will store your minion's VM. In this tutorial, it's going to
       be a minion folder in the $home directory.

          cd $home
          mkdir minion

   Initialize Vagrant
       From the minion folder, type

          vagrant init

       This command creates a default Vagrantfile configuration  file.  This  configuration  file
       will be used to pass configuration parameters to the Salt provisioner in Step 3.

   Import Precise64 Ubuntu Box
          vagrant box add precise64 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box

       NOTE:
          This  box  is added at the global Vagrant level. You only need to do it once as each VM
          will use this same file.

   Modify the Vagrantfile
       Modify ./minion/Vagrantfile to use th precise64 box. Change the config.vm.box line to:

          config.vm.box = "precise64"

       Uncomment the line creating a host-only IP. This is the ip of your minion (you can  change
       it to something else if that IP is already in use):

          config.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"

       At this point you should have a VM that can run, although there won't be much in it. Let's
       check that.

   Checking The VM
       From the $home/minion folder type:

          vagrant up

       A log showing the VM booting should be present. Once it's  done  you'll  be  back  to  the
       terminal:

          ping 192.168.33.10

       The VM should respond to your ping request.

       Now log into the VM in ssh using Vagrant again:

          vagrant ssh

       You  should  see  the  shell  prompt  change  to something similar to vagrant@precise64:~$
       meaning you're inside the VM. From there, enter the following:

          ping 10.0.2.2

       NOTE:
          That ip is the ip of your VM host (the macOS host). The number is a VirtualBox  default
          and  is  displayed  in the log after the Vagrant ssh command. We'll use that IP to tell
          the minion where the Salt master is.  Once you're done, end the ssh session  by  typing
          exit.

       It's now time to connect the VM to the salt master

   Step 3 - Connecting Master and Minion
   Creating The Minion Configuration File
       Create the /etc/salt/minion file. In that file, put the following lines, giving the ID for
       this minion, and the IP of the master:

          master: 10.0.2.2
          id: 'minion1'
          file_client: remote

       Minions authenticate with the master using keys. Keys are generated automatically  if  you
       don't  provide  one  and  can  accept  them later on. However, this requires accepting the
       minion key every time the minion is destroyed or created (which could be quite  often).  A
       better way is to create those keys in advance, feed them to the minion, and authorize them
       once.

   Preseed minion keys
       From the minion folder on your Mac run:

          sudo salt-key --gen-keys=minion1

       This should create two files: minion1.pem, and minion1.pub.  Since those files  have  been
       created using sudo, but will be used by vagrant, you need to change ownership:

          sudo chown youruser:yourgroup minion1.pem
          sudo chown youruser:yourgroup minion1.pub

       Then copy the .pub file into the list of accepted minions:

          sudo cp minion1.pub /etc/salt/pki/master/minions/minion1

   Modify Vagrantfile to Use Salt Provisioner
       Let's  now modify the Vagrantfile used to provision the Salt VM. Add the following section
       in the Vagrantfile (note: it should  be  at  the  same  indentation  level  as  the  other
       properties):

          # salt-vagrant config
          config.vm.provision :salt do |salt|
              salt.run_highstate = true
              salt.minion_config = "/etc/salt/minion"
              salt.minion_key = "./minion1.pem"
              salt.minion_pub = "./minion1.pub"
          end

       Now destroy the vm and recreate it from the /minion folder:

          vagrant destroy
          vagrant up

       If everything is fine you should see the following message:

          "Bootstrapping Salt... (this may take a while)
          Salt successfully configured and installed!"

   Checking Master-Minion Communication
       To make sure the master and minion are talking to each other, enter the following:

          sudo salt '*' test.version

       You  should  see  your  minion  answering  with its salt version. It's now time to do some
       configuration.

   Step 4 - Configure Services to Install On the Minion
       In this step we'll use the Salt master to instruct our minion to install Nginx.

   Checking the system's original state
       First, make sure that an HTTP server is not installed  on  our  minion.   When  opening  a
       browser  directed  at http://192.168.33.10/ You should get an error saying the site cannot
       be reached.

   Initialize the top.sls file
       System configuration is done in /srv/salt/top.sls (and subfiles/folders), and then applied
       by  running  the  state.apply function to have the Salt master order its minions to update
       their instructions and run the associated commands.

       First Create an empty file on your Salt master (macOS machine):

          touch /srv/salt/top.sls

       When the file is empty, or if no configuration  is  found  for  our  minion  an  error  is
       reported:

          sudo salt 'minion1' state.apply

       This should return an error stating: No Top file or external nodes data matches found.

   Create The Nginx Configuration
       Now  is  finally  the time to enter the real meat of our server's configuration.  For this
       tutorial our minion will be treated as a web server that needs to have Nginx installed.

       Insert the following lines into /srv/salt/top.sls (which should current be empty).

          base:
            'minion1':
              - bin.nginx

       Now create /srv/salt/bin/nginx.sls containing the following:

          nginx:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nginx
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - reload: True

   Check Minion State
       Finally, run the state.apply function again:

          sudo salt 'minion1' state.apply

       You should see a log showing that the Nginx package has been  installed  and  the  service
       configured.  To  prove  it,  open  your browser and navigate to http://192.168.33.10/, you
       should see the standard Nginx welcome page.

       Congratulations!

   Where To Go From Here
       A full description of configuration management within Salt (sls files among other  things)
       is                                     available                                     here:
       https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/index.html#configuration-management

   running salt as normal user tutorial
       Before continuing make sure  you  have  a  working  Salt  installation  by  following  the
       installation and the configuration instructions.

          Stuck?

                 There  are  many  ways  to salt-community including our mailing list and our IRC
                 channel #salt.

   Running Salt functions as non root user
       If you don't want to run salt cloud as root or even install it you  can  configure  it  to
       have a virtual root in your working directory.

       The salt system uses the salt.syspath module to find the variables

       If you run the salt-build, it will generated in:

          ./build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/salt/_syspaths.py

       To generate it, run the command:

          python setup.py build

       Copy the generated module into your salt directory

          cp ./build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/salt/_syspaths.py salt/_syspaths.py

       Edit it to include needed variables and your new paths

          # you need to edit this
          _your_current_dir_ = ...
          ROOT_DIR = _your_current_dir_ + "/salt/root"

          # you need to edit this

   Standalone Minion
       Since  the  Salt  minion  contains such extensive functionality it can be useful to run it
       standalone. A standalone minion can be used to do a number of things:

       • Use salt-call commands on a system without connectivity to a master

       • Masterless States, run states entirely from files local to the minion

       NOTE:
          When running Salt in masterless mode, it is not required to run the salt-minion daemon.
          By  default  the  salt-minion  daemon will attempt to connect to a master and fail. The
          salt-call command stands on its own and does not need the salt-minion daemon.

          As of version 2016.11.0 you can have  a  running  minion  (with  engines  and  beacons)
          without a master connection. If you wish to run the salt-minion daemon you will need to
          set the master_type configuration setting to be set to 'disable'.

   Minion Configuration
       Throughout this document there are several references  to  setting  different  options  to
       configure a masterless Minion. Salt Minions are easy to configure via a configuration file
       that is located, by default, in /etc/salt/minion.  Note, however, that on FreeBSD systems,
       the minion configuration file is located in /usr/local/etc/salt/minion.

       You  can  learn more about minion configuration options in the Configuring the Salt Minion
       docs.

   Telling Salt Call to Run Masterless
       The salt-call command is used to run module functions  locally  on  a  minion  instead  of
       executing  them  from the master. Normally the salt-call command checks into the master to
       retrieve file server and pillar data, but when running standalone salt-call  needs  to  be
       instructed to not check the master for this data. To instruct the minion to not look for a
       master when running salt-call the file_client configuration option needs to  be  set.   By
       default  the  file_client  is  set to remote so that the minion knows that file server and
       pillar data are to be gathered from the master. When setting  the  file_client  option  to
       local the minion is configured to not gather this data from the master.

          file_client: local

       Now the salt-call command will not look for a master and will assume that the local system
       has all of the file and pillar resources.

   Running States Masterless
       The state system can be easily run without a Salt master, with all needed files  local  to
       the  minion.  To  do  this the minion configuration file needs to be set up to know how to
       return file_roots  information  like  the  master.  The  file_roots  setting  defaults  to
       /srv/salt for the base environment just like on the master:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       Now  set up the Salt State Tree, top file, and SLS modules in the same way that they would
       be set up on a master. Now, with the file_client option set  to  local  and  an  available
       state  tree  then  calls  to functions in the state module will use the information in the
       file_roots on the minion instead of checking in with the master.

       Remember that when creating a state tree on a minion there are no syntax or  path  changes
       needed, SLS modules written to be used from a master do not need to be modified in any way
       to work with a minion.

       This makes it easy to "script" deployments with Salt states without having  to  set  up  a
       master,  and  allows  for  these  SLS modules to be easily moved into a Salt master as the
       deployment grows.

       The declared state can now be executed with:

          salt-call state.apply

       Or the salt-call command can be executed with the --local flag, this makes it  unnecessary
       to change the configuration file:

          salt-call state.apply --local

   External Pillars
       External pillars are supported when running in masterless mode.

   Salt Masterless Quickstart
       Running a masterless salt-minion lets you use Salt's configuration management for a single
       machine without calling out to a Salt master on another machine.

       Since the Salt minion contains such extensive functionality it can be  useful  to  run  it
       standalone. A standalone minion can be used to do a number of things:

       • Stand up a master server via States (Salting a Salt Master)

       • Use salt-call commands on a system without connectivity to a master

       • Masterless States, run states entirely from files local to the minion

       It is also useful for testing out state trees before deploying to a production setup.

   Bootstrap Salt Minion
       The  salt-bootstrap script makes bootstrapping a server with Salt simple for any OS with a
       Bourne shell:

          curl -L https://bootstrap.saltstack.com -o bootstrap_salt.sh
          sudo sh bootstrap_salt.sh

       See the salt-bootstrap documentation for other one liners. When using Vagrant to test  out
       salt, the Vagrant salt provisioner will provision the VM for you.

   Telling Salt to Run Masterless
       To  instruct  the  minion  to  not look for a master, the file_client configuration option
       needs to be set in the minion configuration file.  By default the file_client  is  set  to
       remote  so that the minion gathers file server and pillar data from the salt master.  When
       setting the file_client option to local the minion is configured to not gather  this  data
       from the master.

          file_client: local

       Now  the  salt minion will not look for a master and will assume that the local system has
       all of the file and pillar resources.

       Configuration which resided in the master configuration (e.g. /etc/salt/master) should  be
       moved to the minion configuration since the minion does not read the master configuration.

       NOTE:
          When running Salt in masterless mode, do not run the salt-minion daemon.  Otherwise, it
          will attempt to connect to a master and fail. The salt-call command stands on  its  own
          and does not need the salt-minion daemon.

   Create State Tree
       Following the successful installation of a salt-minion, the next step is to create a state
       tree, which is where the SLS files that comprise the possible states  of  the  minion  are
       stored.

       The  following  example  walks  through  the  steps  necessary to create a state tree that
       ensures that the server has the Apache webserver installed.

       NOTE:
          For a complete explanation on Salt States, see the tutorial.

       1. Create the top.sls file:

       /srv/salt/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - webserver

       2. Create the webserver state tree:

       /srv/salt/webserver.sls:

          apache:               # ID declaration
            pkg:                # state declaration
              - installed       # function declaration

       NOTE:
          The apache package  has  different  names  on  different  platforms,  for  instance  on
          Debian/Ubuntu it is apache2, on Fedora/RHEL it is httpd and on Arch it is apache

       The only thing left is to provision our minion using salt-call.

   Salt-call
       The  salt-call  command  is  used  to  run  remote execution functions locally on a minion
       instead of executing them from the master. Normally the salt-call command checks into  the
       master  to  retrieve  file  server  and pillar data, but when running standalone salt-call
       needs to be instructed to not check the master for this data:

          salt-call --local state.apply

       The --local flag tells the salt-minion to look for the state tree in the local file system
       and not to contact a Salt Master for instructions.

       To provide verbose output, use -l debug:

          salt-call --local state.apply -l debug

       The  minion  first examines the top.sls file and determines that it is a part of the group
       matched by * glob and that the webserver SLS should be applied.

       It then examines the webserver.sls file and finds the apache  state,  which  installs  the
       Apache package.

       The minion should now have Apache installed, and the next step is to begin learning how to
       write more complex states.

   Dependencies
       Salt should run on any Unix-like platform so long as the dependencies are met.

       • Python - Python2 >= 2.7, Python3 >= 3.4

       • msgpack - High-performance message interchange format

       • YAML - Python YAML bindings

       • Jinja2 - parsing Salt States (configurable in the master settings)

       • MarkupSafe - Implements a XML/HTML/XHTML Markup safe string for Python

       • apache-libcloud - Python lib for interacting with many  of  the  popular  cloud  service
         providers using a unified API

       • Requests - HTTP library

       • Tornado - Web framework and asynchronous networking library

       • futures  -  Python2  only  dependency.  Backport  of the concurrent.futures package from
         Python 3.2

       • ZeroMQ:

         • ZeroMQ >= 3.2.0

         • pyzmq >= 2.2.0 - ZeroMQ Python bindings

         • PyCrypto - The Python cryptography toolkit

       WARNING:
          For historical reasons, Salt  requires  PyCrypto  as  a  "lowest  common  denominator".
          However,  PyCrypto  is  unmaintained  and best practice is to manually upgrade to use a
          more maintained library such as PyCryptodome. See Issue #52674  and  Issue  #54115  for
          more info

       Salt  defaults  to  the  ZeroMQ  transport.  The  --salt-transport  installation option is
       available, but currently only supports the zeromq option. This  may  be  expanded  in  the
       future.

          python setup.py --salt-transport=zeromq install

       This way, only the required dependencies are pulled by the setup script if need be.

       If installing using pip, the --salt-transport install option can be provided like:

          pip install --install-option="--salt-transport=zeromq" salt

       NOTE:
          Salt  does  not  bundle dependencies that are typically distributed as part of the base
          OS. If you have unmet dependencies and are using a custom or minimal installation,  you
          might need to install some additional packages from your OS vendor.

   Default directories
       During installation several default directories can be configured:

       By  default,  salt  tries to determine useful default values for the directories.  You can
       override them during installation  by  specifying  the  config  option.  E.g.   to  change
       STATE_DIR  from  the  default  /etc/salt to /var/lib/salt, specify --salt-state-dir during
       installation:

          python setup.py --salt-state-dir=/var/lib/salt install

       All the variables listed in  the  table  above  are  stored  in  salt/_syspaths.py  during
       installation.

   Upgrading Salt
       When   upgrading   Salt,   the  master(s)  should  always  be  upgraded  first.   Backward
       compatibility for minions running newer  versions  of  salt  than  their  masters  is  not
       guaranteed.

       Whenever  possible,  backward  compatibility  between  new masters and old minions will be
       preserved.  Generally, the only exception  to  this  policy  is  in  case  of  a  security
       vulnerability.

   Building Packages using Salt Pack
       Salt-pack  is  an  open-source package builder for most commonly used Linux platforms, for
       example:  Redhat/CentOS  and  Debian/Ubuntu  families,  utilizing  SaltStack  states   and
       execution modules to build Salt and a specified set of dependencies, from which a platform
       specific repository can be built.

CONFIGURING SALT

       This section explains how to configure user access, view and store job results, secure and
       troubleshoot, and how to perform many other administrative tasks.

   Configuring the Salt Master
       The  Salt system is amazingly simple and easy to configure, the two components of the Salt
       system each have a respective configuration file. The salt-master is  configured  via  the
       master  configuration file, and the salt-minion is configured via the minion configuration
       file.

       SEE ALSO:
          Example master configuration file.

       The configuration file for the salt-master is  located  at  /etc/salt/master  by  default.
       Atomic  included  configuration files can be placed in /etc/salt/master.d/*.conf. Warning:
       files with other suffixes than .conf will not be included. A notable exception is FreeBSD,
       where  the configuration file is located at /usr/local/etc/salt. The available options are
       as follows:

   Primary Master Configuration
   interface
       Default: 0.0.0.0 (all interfaces)

       The local interface to bind to, must be an IP address.

          interface: 192.168.0.1

   ipv6
       Default: False

       Whether the master should listen for IPv6  connections.  If  this  is  set  to  True,  the
       interface option must be adjusted too (for example: interface: '::')

          ipv6: True

   publish_port
       Default: 4505

       The network port to set up the publication interface.

          publish_port: 4505

   master_id
       Default: None

       The id to be passed in the publish job to minions. This is used for MultiSyndics to return
       the job to the requesting master.

       NOTE:
          This must be the same string as the syndic is configured with.

          master_id: MasterOfMaster

   user
       Default: root

       The user to run the Salt processes

          user: root

   enable_ssh_minions
       Default: False

       Tell the master to also use salt-ssh when running commands against minions.

          enable_ssh_minions: True

       NOTE:
          Cross-minion communication is still not possible.  The Salt mine and publish.publish do
          not work between minion types.

   ret_port
       Default: 4506

       The  port  used by the return server, this is the server used by Salt to receive execution
       returns and command executions.

          ret_port: 4506

   pidfile
       Default: /var/run/salt-master.pid

       Specify the location of the master pidfile.

          pidfile: /var/run/salt-master.pid

   root_dir
       Default: /

       The system root directory  to  operate  from,  change  this  to  make  Salt  run  from  an
       alternative root.

          root_dir: /

       NOTE:
          This  directory  is  prepended  to  the following options: pki_dir, cachedir, sock_dir,
          log_file, autosign_file, autoreject_file, pidfile, autosign_grains_dir.

   conf_file
       Default: /etc/salt/master

       The path to the master's configuration file.

          conf_file: /etc/salt/master

   pki_dir
       Default: <STATE_DIR>/pki/master

       The directory to store the pki authentication keys.

          pki_dir: /etc/salt/pki/master

   extension_modules
       Changed in version 2016.3.0: The default location for this directory has been moved. Prior
       to  this version, the location was a directory named extmods in the Salt cachedir (on most
       platforms, /var/cache/salt/extmods). It has been moved into the master cachedir  (on  most
       platforms, /var/cache/salt/master/extmods).

       Directory for custom modules. This directory can contain subdirectories for each of Salt's
       module types such as runners, output, wheel, modules, states, returners,  engines,  utils,
       etc.  This path is appended to root_dir.

          extension_modules: /root/salt_extmods

   extmod_whitelist/extmod_blacklist
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       By  using  this dictionary, the modules that are synced to the master's extmod cache using
       saltutil.sync_* can be limited.  If nothing is set to a specific type,  then  all  modules
       are accepted.  To block all modules of a specific type, whitelist an empty list.

          extmod_whitelist:
            modules:
              - custom_module
            engines:
              - custom_engine
            pillars: []

          extmod_blacklist:
            modules:
              - specific_module

       Valid options:

              • modules

              • states

              • grains

              • renderers

              • returners

   module_dirs
       Default: []

       Like extension_modules, but a list of extra directories to search for Salt modules.

          module_dirs:
            - /var/cache/salt/minion/extmods

   cachedir
       Default: /var/cache/salt/master

       The  location  used  to  store  cache  information,  particularly  the job information for
       executed salt commands.

       This directory may contain sensitive data and should be protected accordingly.

          cachedir: /var/cache/salt/master

   verify_env
       Default: True

       Verify and set permissions on configuration directories at startup.

          verify_env: True

   keep_jobs
       Default: 24

       Set the number of hours to keep old job information. Note that setting this  option  to  0
       disables the cache cleaner.

          keep_jobs: 24

   gather_job_timeout
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: 10

       The  number  of  seconds  to  wait when the client is requesting information about running
       jobs.

          gather_job_timeout: 10

   timeout
       Default: 5

       Set the default timeout for the salt command and api.

   loop_interval
       Default: 60

       The loop_interval option controls the seconds for the master's maintenance  process  check
       cycle.  This  process  updates file server backends, cleans the job cache and executes the
       scheduler.

   output
       Default: nested

       Set the default outputter used by the salt command.

   outputter_dirs
       Default: []

       A list of additional directories to search for salt outputters in.

          outputter_dirs: []

   output_file
       Default: None

       Set the default output file used by the salt command. Default is to output to the CLI  and
       not  to a file. Functions the same way as the "--out-file" CLI option, only sets this to a
       single file for all salt commands.

          output_file: /path/output/file

   show_timeout
       Default: True

       Tell the client to show minions that have timed out.

          show_timeout: True

   show_jid
       Default: False

       Tell the client to display the jid when a job is published.

          show_jid: False

   color
       Default: True

       By default output is colored, to disable colored output set the color value to False.

          color: False

   color_theme
       Default: ""

       Specifies a path to the color theme to use for colored command line output.

          color_theme: /etc/salt/color_theme

   cli_summary
       Default: False

       When set to True, displays a summary of the number of  minions  targeted,  the  number  of
       minions returned, and the number of minions that did not return.

          cli_summary: False

   sock_dir
       Default: /var/run/salt/master

       Set the location to use for creating Unix sockets for master process communication.

          sock_dir: /var/run/salt/master

   enable_gpu_grains
       Default: False

       Enable  GPU  hardware  data  for your master. Be aware that the master can take a while to
       start up when lspci and/or dmidecode is used to populate the grains for the master.

          enable_gpu_grains: True

   skip_grains
       Default: False

       MasterMinions should omit grains. A MasterMinion is "a minion function object for  generic
       use on the master" that omit pillar. A RunnerClient creates a MasterMinion omitting states
       and renderer. Setting to True can improve master performance.

          skip_grains: True

   job_cache
       Default: True

       The master maintains a temporary job cache. While this is a great addition, it  can  be  a
       burden  on the master for larger deployments (over 5000 minions).  Disabling the job cache
       will make previously executed jobs unavailable to the jobs system  and  is  not  generally
       recommended.  Normally it is wise to make sure the master has access to a faster IO system
       or a tmpfs is mounted to the jobs dir.

          job_cache: True

       NOTE:
          Setting the job_cache to False will not cache minion returns, but the JID directory for
          each  job  is  still  created. The creation of the JID directories is necessary because
          Salt uses those directories to check for JID collisions.  By  setting  this  option  to
          False,  the job cache directory, which is /var/cache/salt/master/jobs/ by default, will
          be smaller, but the JID directories will still be present.

          Note that the keep_jobs option can be set to a lower value, such as  1,  to  limit  the
          number of hours jobs are stored in the job cache. (The default is 24 hours.)

          Please see the Managing the Job Cache documentation for more information.

   minion_data_cache
       Default: True

       The  minion  data  cache is a cache of information about the minions stored on the master,
       this information is primarily the pillar, grains and mine data. The data is cached via the
       cache  subsystem  in  the  Master  cachedir under the name of the minion or in a supported
       database. The data is used to  predetermine  what  minions  are  expected  to  reply  from
       executions.

          minion_data_cache: True

   cache
       Default: localfs

       Cache subsystem module to use for minion data cache.

          cache: consul

   memcache_expire_seconds
       Default: 0

       Memcache is an additional cache layer that keeps a limited amount of data fetched from the
       minion data cache for a limited period of time  in  memory  that  makes  cache  operations
       faster. It doesn't make much sense for the localfs cache driver but helps for more complex
       drivers like consul.

       This option sets the memcache items expiration time. By default is set to 0 that  disables
       the memcache.

          memcache_expire_seconds: 30

   memcache_max_items
       Default: 1024

       Set  memcache  limit  in  items  that  are  bank-key pairs. I.e the list of minion_0/data,
       minion_0/mine, minion_1/data contains 3 items. This value depends on the count of  minions
       usually  targeted  in your environment. The best one could be found by analyzing the cache
       log with memcache_debug enabled.

          memcache_max_items: 1024

   memcache_full_cleanup
       Default: False

       If cache storage got full, i.e. the items  count  exceeds  the  memcache_max_items  value,
       memcache  cleans up its storage. If this option set to False memcache removes the only one
       oldest value from its storage.  If this set set to True memcache removes all  the  expired
       items and also removes the oldest one if there are no expired items.

          memcache_full_cleanup: True

   memcache_debug
       Default: False

       Enable  collecting  the  memcache stats and log it on debug log level. If enabled memcache
       collect information about how many fetch calls has been done and how many of them has been
       hit  by  memcache.  Also  it  outputs the rate value that is the result of division of the
       first two values. This should help to choose right values for the expiration time and  the
       cache size.

          memcache_debug: True

   ext_job_cache
       Default: ''

       Used to specify a default returner for all minions. When this option is set, the specified
       returner needs to be properly configured and the minions will always  default  to  sending
       returns to this returner. This will also disable the local job cache on the master.

          ext_job_cache: redis

   event_return
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Default: ''

       Specify  the  returner(s)  to  use  to log events. Each returner may have installation and
       configuration requirements. Read the returner's documentation.

       NOTE:
          Not all returners support event returns. Verify that a returner has  an  event_return()
          function before configuring this option with a returner.

          event_return:
            - syslog
            - splunk

   event_return_queue
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Default: 0

       On  busy  systems,  enabling  event_returns  can  cause a considerable load on the storage
       system for returners. Events can be queued on the master and stored in a  batched  fashion
       using a single transaction for multiple events.  By default, events are not queued.

          event_return_queue: 0

   event_return_whitelist
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Default: []

       Only return events matching tags in a whitelist.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0: Supports glob matching patterns.

          event_return_whitelist:
            - salt/master/a_tag
            - salt/run/*/ret

   event_return_blacklist
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Default: []

       Store all event returns _except_ the tags in a blacklist.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0: Supports glob matching patterns.

          event_return_blacklist:
            - salt/master/not_this_tag
            - salt/wheel/*/ret

   max_event_size
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: 1048576

       Passing  very  large  events can cause the minion to consume large amounts of memory. This
       value tunes the maximum size of a message allowed onto the master event bus. The value  is
       expressed in bytes.

          max_event_size: 1048576

   master_job_cache
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: local_cache

       Specify  the returner to use for the job cache. The job cache will only be interacted with
       from the salt master and therefore does not need to be accessible from the minions.

          master_job_cache: redis

   job_cache_store_endtime
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: False

       Specify whether the Salt Master should store end times for jobs as returns come in.

          job_cache_store_endtime: False

   enforce_mine_cache
       Default: False

       By-default when disabling the minion_data_cache mine will stop working since it  is  based
       on cached data, by enabling this option we explicitly enabling only the cache for the mine
       system.

          enforce_mine_cache: False

   max_minions
       Default: 0

       The maximum number of minion connections allowed by the master. Use  this  to  accommodate
       the  number  of  minions  per  master if you have different types of hardware serving your
       minions. The default of 0 means unlimited connections.  Please note  that  this  can  slow
       down the authentication process a bit in large setups.

          max_minions: 100

   con_cache
       Default: False

       If  max_minions  is  used  in  large  installations, the master might experience high-load
       situations because  of  having  to  check  the  number  of  connected  minions  for  every
       authentication.  This  cache  provides  the  minion-ids  of  all  connected minions to all
       MWorker-processes and greatly improves the performance of max_minions.

          con_cache: True

   presence_events
       Default: False

       Causes the master to periodically look for actively connected  minions.   Presence  events
       are fired on the event bus on a regular interval with a list of connected minions, as well
       as events with lists of newly connected or disconnected minions.  This  is  a  master-only
       operation that does not send executions to minions.

          presence_events: False

   detect_remote_minions
       Default: False

       When  checking the minions connected to a master, also include the master's connections to
       minions on the port specified in the setting remote_minions_port.   This  is  particularly
       useful when checking if the master is connected to any Heist-Salt minions. If this setting
       is set to True, the master will check all connections on port 22 by default unless a  user
       also configures a different port with the setting remote_minions_port.

       Changing  this setting will check the remote minions the master is connected to when using
       presence events, the manage runner, and  any  other  parts  of  the  code  that  call  the
       connected_ids method to check the status of connected minions.

          detect_remote_minions: True

   remote_minions_port
       Default: 22

       The  port  to  use  when  checking for remote minions when detect_remote_minions is set to
       True.

          remote_minions_port: 2222

   ping_on_rotate
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: False

       By default, the master AES key rotates every 24 hours. The next command  following  a  key
       rotation  will  trigger a key refresh from the minion which may result in minions which do
       not respond to the first command after a key refresh.

       To tell the master to  ping  all  minions  immediately  after  an  AES  key  refresh,  set
       ping_on_rotate  to  True. This should mitigate the issue where a minion does not appear to
       initially respond after a key is rotated.

       Note that enabling this may cause high load  on  the  master  immediately  after  the  key
       rotation  event  as  minions  reconnect.  Consider  this  carefully if this salt master is
       managing a large number of minions.

       If disabled, it is recommended to handle this event by listening  for  the  aes_key_rotate
       event with the key tag and acting appropriately.

          ping_on_rotate: False

   transport
       Default: zeromq

       Changes  the  underlying  transport  layer.  ZeroMQ  is  the  recommended  transport while
       additional transport layers are under development. Supported values  are  zeromq  and  tcp
       (experimental).  This  setting  has  a significant impact on performance and should not be
       changed unless you know what you are doing!

          transport: zeromq

   transport_opts
       Default: {}

       (experimental) Starts multiple transports and overrides options for  each  transport  with
       the  provided  dictionary  This setting has a significant impact on performance and should
       not be changed unless you know what you are doing!  The following  example  shows  how  to
       start a TCP transport alongside a ZMQ transport.

          transport_opts:
            tcp:
              publish_port: 4605
              ret_port: 4606
            zeromq: []

   master_stats
       Default: False

       Turning  on  the master stats enables runtime throughput and statistics events to be fired
       from the master event bus. These events will report on what functions have been run on the
       master and how long these runs have, on average, taken over a given period of time.

   master_stats_event_iter
       Default: 60

       The  time  in seconds to fire master_stats events. This will only fire in conjunction with
       receiving a request to the master, idle masters will not fire these events.

   sock_pool_size
       Default: 1

       To avoid blocking waiting while writing a data to a socket, we  support  socket  pool  for
       Salt  applications.  For  example, a job with a large number of target host list can cause
       long period blocking waiting. The option is used by ZMQ and TCP transports, and the  other
       transport  methods don't need the socket pool by definition. Most of Salt tools, including
       CLI, are enough to use a single bucket of socket pool. On the other hands,  it  is  highly
       recommended  to  set  the  size  of socket pool larger than 1 for other Salt applications,
       especially Salt API, which must write data to socket concurrently.

          sock_pool_size: 15

   ipc_mode
       Default: ipc

       The ipc strategy. (i.e., sockets versus tcp, etc.) Windows platforms lack  POSIX  IPC  and
       must  rely on TCP based inter-process communications. ipc_mode is set to tcp by default on
       Windows.

          ipc_mode: ipc

   tcp_master_pub_port
       Default: 4512

       The TCP port on which events for the master should be published if ipc_mode is TCP.

          tcp_master_pub_port: 4512

   tcp_master_pull_port
       Default: 4513

       The TCP port on which events for the master should be pulled if ipc_mode is TCP.

          tcp_master_pull_port: 4513

   tcp_master_publish_pull
       Default: 4514

       The TCP port on which events for the master should be pulled fom and then republished onto
       the event bus on the master.

          tcp_master_publish_pull: 4514

   tcp_master_workers
       Default: 4515

       The TCP port for mworkers to connect to on the master.

          tcp_master_workers: 4515

   auth_events
       New in version 2017.7.3.

       Default: True

       Determines  whether the master will fire authentication events.  Authentication events are
       fired when a minion performs an authentication check with the master.

          auth_events: True

   minion_data_cache_events
       New in version 2017.7.3.

       Default: True

       Determines whether the master will fire minion  data  cache  events.   Minion  data  cache
       events are fired when a minion requests a minion data cache refresh.

          minion_data_cache_events: True

   http_connect_timeout
       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Default: 20

       HTTP  connection  timeout in seconds.  Applied when fetching files using tornado back-end.
       Should be greater than overall download time.

          http_connect_timeout: 20

   http_request_timeout
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: 3600

       HTTP request timeout in seconds.  Applied when  fetching  files  using  tornado  back-end.
       Should be greater than overall download time.

          http_request_timeout: 3600

   use_yamlloader_old
       New in version 2019.2.1.

       Default: False

       Use  the  pre-2019.2  YAML  renderer.   Uses  legacy YAML rendering to support some legacy
       inline data structures.  See the 2019.2.1 release notes for more details.

          use_yamlloader_old: False

   req_server_niceness
       New in version 3001.

       Default: None

       platforms only.

          req_server_niceness: 9

   pub_server_niceness
       New in version 3001.

       Default: None

       platforms only.

          pub_server_niceness: 9

   fileserver_update_niceness
       New in version 3001.

       Default: None

       platforms only.

          maintenance_niceness: 9

   mworker_niceness
       New in version 3001.

       Default: None

       platforms only.

          event_publisher_niceness: 9

   reactor_niceness
       New in version 3001.

       default: None

       process priority level of the Reactor  subprocess  of  the  master.   supported  on  POSIX
       platforms only.

          reactor_niceness: 9

   Salt-SSH Configuration
   roster
       Default: flat

       Define the default salt-ssh roster module to use

          roster: cache

   roster_defaults
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default settings which will be inherited by all rosters.

          roster_defaults:
            user: daniel
            sudo: True
            priv: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            tty: True

   roster_file
       Default: /etc/salt/roster

       Pass in an alternative location for the salt-ssh flat roster file.

          roster_file: /root/roster

   rosters
       Default: None

       Define  locations  for  flat  roster  files  so they can be chosen when using Salt API. An
       administrator can place roster files into these locations. Then, when  calling  Salt  API,
       the  roster_file  parameter  should  contain  a relative path to these locations. That is,
       roster_file=/foo/roster  will  be  resolved  as  /etc/salt/roster.d/foo/roster  etc.  This
       feature prevents passing insecure custom rosters through the Salt API.

          rosters:
           - /etc/salt/roster.d
           - /opt/salt/some/more/rosters

   ssh_passwd
       Default: ''

       The ssh password to log in with.

          ssh_passwd: ''

   ssh_priv_passwd
       Default: ''

       Passphrase for ssh private key file.

          ssh_priv_passwd: ''

   ssh_port
       Default: 22

       The target system's ssh port number.

          ssh_port: 22

   ssh_scan_ports
       Default: 22

       Comma-separated list of ports to scan.

          ssh_scan_ports: 22

   ssh_scan_timeout
       Default: 0.01

       Scanning socket timeout for salt-ssh.

          ssh_scan_timeout: 0.01

   ssh_sudo
       Default: False

       Boolean to run command via sudo.

          ssh_sudo: False

   ssh_timeout
       Default: 60

       Number of seconds to wait for a response when establishing an SSH connection.

          ssh_timeout: 60

   ssh_user
       Default: root

       The user to log in as.

          ssh_user: root

   ssh_log_file
       New in version 2016.3.5.

       Default: /var/log/salt/ssh

       Specify the log file of the salt-ssh command.

          ssh_log_file: /var/log/salt/ssh

   ssh_minion_opts
       Default: None

       Pass  in  minion  option overrides that will be inserted into the SHIM for salt-ssh calls.
       The local minion config is not used for salt-ssh. Can be overridden on a per-minion  basis
       in the roster (minion_opts)

          ssh_minion_opts:
            gpg_keydir: /root/gpg

   ssh_use_home_key
       Default: False

       Set  this  to  True  to  default  to  using ~/.ssh/id_rsa for salt-ssh authentication with
       minions

          ssh_use_home_key: False

   ssh_identities_only
       Default: False

       Set this to True to default salt-ssh to run with -o  IdentitiesOnly=yes.  This  option  is
       intended  for  situations  where the ssh-agent offers many different identities and allows
       ssh to ignore those identities and use the only one specified in options.

          ssh_identities_only: False

   ssh_list_nodegroups
       Default: {}

       List-only nodegroups for salt-ssh. Each group must be formed as either  a  comma-separated
       list,  or  a  YAML list. This option is useful to group minions into easy-to-target groups
       when using salt-ssh. These groups can then be targeted with  the  normal  -N  argument  to
       salt-ssh.

          ssh_list_nodegroups:
            groupA: minion1,minion2
            groupB: minion1,minion3

       Default: False

       Run  the  ssh_pre_flight script defined in the salt-ssh roster. By default the script will
       only run when the thin dir does not exist on the targeted  minion.  This  will  force  the
       script to run and not check if the thin dir exists first.

   thin_extra_mods
       Default: None

       List  of  additional  modules,  needed  to be included into the Salt Thin.  Pass a list of
       importable Python modules that are typically located in the site-packages Python directory
       so they will be also always included into the Salt Thin, once generated.

   min_extra_mods
       Default: None

       Identical as thin_extra_mods, only applied to the Salt Minimal.

   Master Security Settings
   open_mode
       Default: False

       Open mode is a dangerous security feature. One problem encountered with pki authentication
       systems is that keys can become "mixed up" and authentication begins to  fail.  Open  mode
       turns  off  authentication  and  tells  the master to accept all authentication. This will
       clean up the pki keys received from the minions. Open mode should not  be  turned  on  for
       general  use.  Open  mode  should  only be used for a short period of time to clean up pki
       keys. To turn on open mode set this value to True.

          open_mode: False

   auto_accept
       Default: False

       Enable auto_accept. This setting will automatically accept all incoming public  keys  from
       minions.

          auto_accept: False

   keysize
       Default: 2048

       The size of key that should be generated when creating new keys.

          keysize: 2048

   autosign_timeout
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: 120

       Time   in   minutes   that   a   incoming  public  key  with  a  matching  name  found  in
       pki_dir/minion_autosign/keyid is automatically accepted. Expired autosign keys are removed
       when  the  master checks the minion_autosign directory. This method to auto accept minions
       can be safer than an autosign_file because the keyid record can expire and is  limited  to
       being an exact name match.  This should still be considered a less than secure option, due
       to the fact that trust is based on just the requesting minion id.

   autosign_file
       Default: not defined

       If the autosign_file is specified incoming keys specified in  the  autosign_file  will  be
       automatically  accepted.  Matches will be searched for first by string comparison, then by
       globbing, then by full-string regex matching.  This should still be considered a less than
       secure option, due to the fact that trust is based on just the requesting minion id.

       Changed in version 2018.3.0: For security reasons the file must be readonly except for its
       owner.  If permissive_pki_access is True the owning group can also have write access,  but
       if  Salt  is running as root it must be a member of that group.  A less strict requirement
       also existed in previous version.

   autoreject_file
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Default: not defined

       Works like autosign_file, but instead allows you to specify minion IDs for which keys will
       automatically  be  rejected.  Will  override  both membership in the autosign_file and the
       auto_accept setting.

   autosign_grains_dir
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: not defined

       If the autosign_grains_dir is specified, incoming keys from minions with grain values that
       match  those  defined  in files in the autosign_grains_dir will be accepted automatically.
       Grain values that should be accepted automatically can be defined by creating a file named
       like  the  corresponding grain in the autosign_grains_dir and writing the values into that
       file, one value per line.  Lines starting with a  #  will  be  ignored.   Minion  must  be
       configured  to  send  the  corresponding  grains  on authentication.  This should still be
       considered a less than secure option, due to the fact that trust  is  based  on  just  the
       requesting minion.

       Please see the Autoaccept Minions from Grains documentation for more information.

          autosign_grains_dir: /etc/salt/autosign_grains

   permissive_pki_access
       Default: False

       Enable  permissive access to the salt keys. This allows you to run the master or minion as
       root, but have a non-root group be given access  to  your  pki_dir.  To  make  the  access
       explicit,  root must belong to the group you've given access to. This is potentially quite
       insecure. If an autosign_file is  specified,  enabling  permissive_pki_access  will  allow
       group access to that specific file.

          permissive_pki_access: False

   publisher_acl
       Default: {}

       Enable  user  accounts  on  the  master  to execute specific modules. These modules can be
       expressed as regular expressions.

          publisher_acl:
            fred:
              - test.ping
              - pkg.*

   publisher_acl_blacklist
       Default: {}

       Blacklist users or modules

       This example would blacklist all non sudo users, including root from running any commands.
       It would also blacklist any use of the "cmd" module.

       This is completely disabled by default.

          publisher_acl_blacklist:
            users:
              - root
              - '^(?!sudo_).*$'   #  all non sudo users
            modules:
              - cmd.*
              - test.echo

   sudo_acl
       Default: False

       Enforce  publisher_acl and publisher_acl_blacklist when users have sudo access to the salt
       command.

          sudo_acl: False

   external_auth
       Default: {}

       The external auth system uses the Salt auth modules to authenticate and validate users  to
       access areas of the Salt system.

          external_auth:
            pam:
              fred:
                - test.*

   token_expire
       Default: 43200

       Time (in seconds) for a newly generated token to live.

       Default: 12 hours

          token_expire: 43200

   token_expire_user_override
       Default: False

       Allow eauth users to specify the expiry time of the tokens they generate.

       A boolean applies to all users or a dictionary of whitelisted eauth backends and usernames
       may be given:

          token_expire_user_override:
            pam:
              - fred
              - tom
            ldap:
              - gary

   keep_acl_in_token
       Default: False

       Set to True to enable keeping the calculated user's auth list in the token file.  This  is
       disabled  by  default  and  the auth list is calculated or requested from the eauth driver
       each time.

          keep_acl_in_token: False

   eauth_acl_module
       Default: ''

       Auth subsystem module to use to get authorized access list for a user. By default it's the
       same module used for external authentication.

          eauth_acl_module: django

   file_recv
       Default: False

       Allow  minions  to  push  files  to  the master. This is disabled by default, for security
       purposes.

          file_recv: False

   file_recv_max_size
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: 100

       Set a hard-limit on the size of the files that can be pushed to the master.   It  will  be
       interpreted as megabytes.

          file_recv_max_size: 100

   master_sign_pubkey
       Default: False

       Sign  the  master  auth-replies with a cryptographic signature of the master's public key.
       Please see the tutorial how to use these settings in  the  Multimaster-PKI  with  Failover
       Tutorial

          master_sign_pubkey: True

   master_sign_key_name
       Default: master_sign

       The customizable name of the signing-key-pair without suffix.

          master_sign_key_name: <filename_without_suffix>

   master_pubkey_signature
       Default: master_pubkey_signature

       The name of the file in the master's pki-directory that holds the pre-calculated signature
       of the master's public-key.

          master_pubkey_signature: <filename>

   master_use_pubkey_signature
       Default: False

       Instead of computing the signature for each auth-reply, use  a  pre-calculated  signature.
       The master_pubkey_signature must also be set for this.

          master_use_pubkey_signature: True

   rotate_aes_key
       Default: True

       Rotate  the salt-masters AES-key when a minion-public is deleted with salt-key.  This is a
       very important security-setting. Disabling it will enable deleted minions to still  listen
       in  on  the  messages  published  by  the  salt-master.   Do not disable this unless it is
       absolutely clear what this does.

          rotate_aes_key: True

   publish_session
       Default: 86400

       The number of seconds between AES key rotations on the master.

          publish_session: Default: 86400

   ssl
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       Default: None

       TLS/SSL connection options. This  could  be  set  to  a  dictionary  containing  arguments
       corresponding  to  python  ssl.wrap_socket  method.  For  details  see  Tornado and Python
       documentation.

       Note: to set enum arguments values like  cert_reqs  and  ssl_version  use  constant  names
       without ssl module prefix: CERT_REQUIRED or PROTOCOL_SSLv23.

          ssl:
              keyfile: <path_to_keyfile>
              certfile: <path_to_certfile>
              ssl_version: PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2

   preserve_minion_cache
       Default: False

       By  default,  the  master deletes its cache of minion data when the key for that minion is
       removed. To preserve the cache after key deletion, set preserve_minion_cache to True.

       WARNING: This may have security implications if compromised minions auth with  a  previous
       deleted minion ID.

          preserve_minion_cache: False

   allow_minion_key_revoke
       Default: True

       Controls  whether  a minion can request its own key revocation.  When True the master will
       honor the minion's request and revoke its key.  When  False,  the  master  will  drop  the
       request and the minion's key will remain accepted.

          allow_minion_key_revoke: False

   optimization_order
       Default: [0, 1, 2]

       In  cases where Salt is distributed without .py files, this option determines the priority
       of optimization level(s) Salt's module loader should prefer.

       NOTE:
          This option is only supported on Python 3.5+.

          optimization_order:
            - 2
            - 0
            - 1

   Master Large Scale Tuning Settings
   max_open_files
       Default: 100000

       Each minion connecting to the master  uses  AT  LEAST  one  file  descriptor,  the  master
       subscription  connection.  If  enough  minions  connect  you  might  start  seeing  on the
       console(and then salt-master crashes):

          Too many open files (tcp_listener.cpp:335)
          Aborted (core dumped)

          max_open_files: 100000

       By default this value will be the one of ulimit -Hn, i.e., the hard  limit  for  max  open
       files.

       To  set  a  different  value  than the default one, uncomment, and configure this setting.
       Remember that this value CANNOT be higher than the hard  limit.  Raising  the  hard  limit
       depends  on  the  OS  and/or  distribution,  a good way to find the limit is to search the
       internet for something like this:

          raise max open files hard limit debian

   worker_threads
       Default: 5

       The number of threads to start for  receiving  commands  and  replies  from  minions.   If
       minions  are  stalling  on replies because you have many minions, raise the worker_threads
       value.

       Worker threads should not be put below 3 when using the peer system, but can drop down  to
       1 worker otherwise.

       NOTE:
          When  the  master  daemon  starts, it is expected behaviour to see multiple salt-master
          processes, even if 'worker_threads' is set to '1'. At a minimum, a controlling  process
          will start along with a Publisher, an EventPublisher, and a number of MWorker processes
          will be started. The number of MWorker processes is tuneable  by  the  'worker_threads'
          configuration value while the others are not.

          worker_threads: 5

   pub_hwm
       Default: 1000

       The zeromq high water mark on the publisher interface.

          pub_hwm: 1000

   zmq_backlog
       Default: 1000

       The listen queue size of the ZeroMQ backlog.

          zmq_backlog: 1000

   Master Module Management
   runner_dirs
       Default: []

       Set additional directories to search for runner modules.

          runner_dirs:
            - /var/lib/salt/runners

   utils_dirs
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: []

       Set additional directories to search for util modules.

          utils_dirs:
            - /var/lib/salt/utils

   cython_enable
       Default: False

       Set  to  true  to enable Cython modules (.pyx files) to be compiled on the fly on the Salt
       master.

          cython_enable: False

   Master State System Settings
   state_top
       Default: top.sls

       The state system uses a "top" file to tell the minions what environment to  use  and  what
       modules  to  use.  The  state_top  file  is  defined  relative  to  the  root  of the base
       environment. The value of "state_top" is also used for the pillar top file

          state_top: top.sls

   state_top_saltenv
       This option has no default value. Set it to an environment name to ensure  that  only  the
       top file from that environment is considered during a highstate.

       NOTE:
          Using   this   value   does   not   change  the  merging  strategy.  For  instance,  if
          top_file_merging_strategy is set to merge, and state_top_saltenv is set  to  foo,  then
          any  sections  for  environments other than foo in the top file for the foo environment
          will be ignored. With state_top_saltenv set to base, all states from  all  environments
          in  the  base top file will be applied, while all other top files are ignored. The only
          way to set state_top_saltenv to something other  than  base  and  not  have  the  other
          environments    in    the    targeted    top    file   ignored,   would   be   to   set
          top_file_merging_strategy to merge_all.

          state_top_saltenv: dev

   top_file_merging_strategy
       Changed in version 2016.11.0: A merge_all strategy has been added.

       Default: merge

       When no specific  fileserver  environment  (a.k.a.  saltenv)  has  been  specified  for  a
       highstate,  all  environments'  top files are inspected. This config option determines how
       the SLS targets in those top files are handled.

       When set to merge, the base environment's top file is evaluated  first,  followed  by  the
       other  environments'  top  files.  The  first  target  expression  (e.g.  '*') for a given
       environment is kept, and when the same target expression is used in a different  top  file
       evaluated later, it is ignored.  Because base is evaluated first, it is authoritative. For
       example, if there is a target for '*' for the foo environment in both  the  base  and  foo
       environment's top files, the one in the foo environment would be ignored. The environments
       will be evaluated in no specific order (aside from base coming first). For greater control
       over  the  order  in which the environments are evaluated, use env_order. Note that, aside
       from the base environment's top file, any sections in top files that do not match that top
       file's  environment  will  be  ignored.  So, for example, a section for the qa environment
       would be ignored if it appears in the dev environment's top file. To keep use  cases  like
       this from being ignored, use the merge_all strategy.

       When  set  to  same,  then  for  each  environment,  only  that  environment's top file is
       processed, with the others being ignored. For example, only the dev environment's top file
       will be processed for the dev environment, and any SLS targets defined for dev in the base
       environment's (or any other environment's) top file will be  ignored.  If  an  environment
       does  not have a top file, then the top file from the default_top config parameter will be
       used as a fallback.

       When set to merge_all, then all states in all  environments  in  all  top  files  will  be
       applied. The order in which individual SLS files will be executed will depend on the order
       in which the top files were evaluated, and  the  environments  will  be  evaluated  in  no
       specific  order.  For  greater  control  over  the  order  in  which  the environments are
       evaluated, use env_order.

          top_file_merging_strategy: same

   env_order
       Default: []

       When top_file_merging_strategy is set to merge, and no  environment  is  specified  for  a
       highstate,  this config option allows for the order in which top files are evaluated to be
       explicitly defined.

          env_order:
            - base
            - dev
            - qa

   master_tops
       Default: {}

       The master_tops option replaces the external_nodes option by creating a  pluggable  system
       for  the  generation  of external top data. The external_nodes option is deprecated by the
       master_tops option.  To gain the capabilities of the classic  external_nodes  system,  use
       the following configuration:

          master_tops:
            ext_nodes: <Shell command which returns yaml>

   renderer
       Default: jinja|yaml

       The renderer to use on the minions to render the state data.

          renderer: jinja|json

   userdata_template
       New in version 2016.11.4.

       Default: None

       The  renderer to use for templating userdata files in salt-cloud, if the userdata_template
       is not set in the cloud profile. If no value is set in the cloud profile or master  config
       file, no templating will be performed.

          userdata_template: jinja

   jinja_env
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: {}

       jinja_env  overrides  the  default  Jinja environment options for all templates except sls
       templates.  To set the options for sls templates use jinja_sls_env.

       NOTE:
          The Jinja2 Environment documentation is the official source  for  the  default  values.
          Not all the options listed in the jinja documentation can be overridden using jinja_env
          or jinja_sls_env.

       The default options are:

          jinja_env:
            block_start_string: '{%'
            block_end_string: '%}'
            variable_start_string: '{{'
            variable_end_string: '}}'
            comment_start_string: '{#'
            comment_end_string: '#}'
            line_statement_prefix:
            line_comment_prefix:
            trim_blocks: False
            lstrip_blocks: False
            newline_sequence: '\n'
            keep_trailing_newline: False

   jinja_sls_env
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: {}

       jinja_sls_env sets the Jinja environment options for  sls  templates.   The  defaults  and
       accepted options are exactly the same as they are for jinja_env.

       The default options are:

          jinja_sls_env:
            block_start_string: '{%'
            block_end_string: '%}'
            variable_start_string: '{{'
            variable_end_string: '}}'
            comment_start_string: '{#'
            comment_end_string: '#}'
            line_statement_prefix:
            line_comment_prefix:
            trim_blocks: False
            lstrip_blocks: False
            newline_sequence: '\n'
            keep_trailing_newline: False

       Example using line statements and line comments to increase ease of use:

       If your configuration options are

          jinja_sls_env:
            line_statement_prefix: '%'
            line_comment_prefix: '##'

       With  these  options  jinja  will  interpret  anything  after  a  % at the start of a line
       (ignoreing whitespace) as a jinja statement and will interpret anything after a  ##  as  a
       comment.

       This allows the following more convenient syntax to be used:

          ## (this comment will not stay once rendered)
          # (this comment remains in the rendered template)
          ## ensure all the formula services are running
          % for service in formula_services:
          enable_service_{{ service }}:
            service.running:
              name: {{ service }}
          % endfor

       The  following  less convenient but equivalent syntax would have to be used if you had not
       set the line_statement and line_comment options:

          {# (this comment will not stay once rendered) #}
          # (this comment remains in the rendered template)
          {# ensure all the formula services are running #}
          {% for service in formula_services %}
          enable_service_{{ service }}:
            service.running:
              name: {{ service }}
          {% endfor %}

   jinja_trim_blocks
       Deprecated since version 2018.3.0: Replaced by jinja_env and jinja_sls_env

       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Default: False

       If this is set to True, the first newline after a  Jinja  block  is  removed  (block,  not
       variable  tag!).  Defaults to False and corresponds to the Jinja environment init variable
       trim_blocks.

          jinja_trim_blocks: False

   jinja_lstrip_blocks
       Deprecated since version 2018.3.0: Replaced by jinja_env and jinja_sls_env

       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Default: False

       If this is set to True, leading spaces and tabs are stripped from the start of a line to a
       block.  Defaults  to  False  and  corresponds  to  the  Jinja  environment  init  variable
       lstrip_blocks.

          jinja_lstrip_blocks: False

   failhard
       Default: False

       Set the global failhard flag. This informs all states to stop running states at the moment
       a single state fails.

          failhard: False

   state_verbose
       Default: True

       Controls  the verbosity of state runs. By default, the results of all states are returned,
       but setting this value to False will cause salt to only display  output  for  states  that
       failed or states that have changes.

          state_verbose: False

   state_output
       Default: full

       The state_output setting controls which results will be output full multi line:

       • full, terse - each state will be full/terse

       • mixed - only states with errors will be full

       • changes - states with changes and errors will be full

       full_id,  mixed_id,  changes_id and terse_id are also allowed; when set, the state ID will
       be used as name in the output.

          state_output: full

   state_output_diff
       Default: False

       The state_output_diff setting changes whether or not the output from successful states  is
       returned. Useful when even the terse output of these states is cluttering the logs. Set it
       to True to ignore them.

          state_output_diff: False

   state_output_profile
       Default: True

       The state_output_profile setting changes whether profile information  will  be  shown  for
       each state run.

          state_output_profile: True

   state_aggregate
       Default: False

       Automatically aggregate all states that have support for mod_aggregate by setting to True.

          state_aggregate: True

       Or pass a list of state module names to automatically aggregate just those types.

          state_aggregate:
            - pkg

   state_events
       Default: False

       Send  progress  events  as  each function in a state run completes execution by setting to
       True. Progress events are in the format salt/job/<JID>/prog/<MID>/<RUN NUM>.

          state_events: True

   yaml_utf8
       Default: False

       Enable extra routines for YAML renderer used states containing UTF characters.

          yaml_utf8: False

   runner_returns
       Default: False

       If set to True, runner jobs will be saved to job cache (defined by master_job_cache).

          runner_returns: True

   Master File Server Settings
   fileserver_backend
       Default: ['roots']

       Salt supports a modular fileserver backend system, this system allows the salt  master  to
       link  directly to third party systems to gather and manage the files available to minions.
       Multiple backends can be configured and will be searched for the  requested  file  in  the
       order  in  which  they  are  defined  here.  The default setting only enables the standard
       backend roots, which is configured using the file_roots option.

       Example:

          fileserver_backend:
            - roots
            - gitfs

       NOTE:
          For masterless Salt, this parameter must be specified in the minion config file.

   fileserver_followsymlinks
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Default: True

       By default, the file_server follows symlinks when walking the filesystem tree.   Currently
       this only applies to the default roots fileserver_backend.

          fileserver_followsymlinks: True

   fileserver_ignoresymlinks
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Default: False

       If  you  do  not  want  symlinks  to  be  treated  as  the files they are pointing to, set
       fileserver_ignoresymlinks to True. By default this is set to False. When set to True,  any
       detected symlink while listing files on the Master will not be returned to the Minion.

          fileserver_ignoresymlinks: False

   fileserver_limit_traversal
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Deprecated  since version 2018.3.4: This option is now ignored. Firstly, it only traversed
       file_roots, which means it did not work for the other fileserver backends. Secondly, since
       this option was added we have added caching to the code that traverses the file_roots (and
       gitfs, etc.), which greatly reduces the amount of traversal that is done.

       Default: False

       By default, the Salt fileserver recurses fully into all defined environments to attempt to
       find  files. To limit this behavior so that the fileserver only traverses directories with
       SLS files and special Salt directories like _modules,  set  fileserver_limit_traversal  to
       True.  This might be useful for installations where a file root has a very large number of
       files and performance is impacted.

          fileserver_limit_traversal: False

   fileserver_list_cache_time
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0: The default was changed from 30 seconds to 20.

       Default: 20

       Salt caches the  list  of  files/symlinks/directories  for  each  fileserver  backend  and
       environment as they are requested, to guard against a performance bottleneck at scale when
       many minions all ask  the  fileserver  which  files  are  available  simultaneously.  This
       configuration parameter allows for the max age of that cache to be altered.

       Set  this  value  to 0 to disable use of this cache altogether, but keep in mind that this
       may increase the CPU load on the master when running a highstate  on  a  large  number  of
       minions.

       NOTE:
          Rather  than  altering  this  configuration  parameter,  it may be advisable to use the
          fileserver.clear_file_list_cache runner to clear these caches.

          fileserver_list_cache_time: 5

   fileserver_verify_config
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: True

       By default, as the master  starts  it  performs  some  sanity  checks  on  the  configured
       fileserver  backends.  If  any  of  these  sanity  checks  fail  (such  as when an invalid
       configuration is used), the master daemon will abort.

       To skip these sanity checks, set this option to False.

          fileserver_verify_config: False

   hash_type
       Default: sha256

       The hash_type is the hash to use when discovering the hash of a file on the master server.
       The default is sha256, but md5, sha1, sha224, sha384, and sha512 are also supported.

          hash_type: sha256

   file_buffer_size
       Default: 1048576

       The buffer size in the file server in bytes.

          file_buffer_size: 1048576

   file_ignore_regex
       Default: ''

       A regular expression (or a list of expressions) that will be matched against the file path
       before syncing the modules and states to the minions.  This includes files affected by the
       file.recurse  state.   For  example,  if  you  manage  your  custom  modules and states in
       subversion and don't want all the '.svn' folders and content synced to your  minions,  you
       could set this to '/.svn($|/)'. By default nothing is ignored.

          file_ignore_regex:
            - '/\.svn($|/)'
            - '/\.git($|/)'

   file_ignore_glob
       Default ''

       A  file  glob  (or  list  of file globs) that will be matched against the file path before
       syncing the modules and states to the minions. This is similar to file_ignore_regex above,
       but works on globs instead of regex. By default nothing is ignored.

          file_ignore_glob:
            - '\*.pyc'
            - '\*/somefolder/\*.bak'
            - '\*.swp'

       NOTE:
          Vim's  .swp files are a common cause of Unicode errors in file.recurse states which use
          templating. Unless there is a good reason to distribute them via the fileserver, it  is
          good practice to include '\*.swp' in the file_ignore_glob.

   master_roots
       Default: ''

       A master-only copy of the file_roots dictionary, used by the state compiler.

       Example:

          master_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt-master

   roots: Master's Local File Server
   file_roots
       Default:

          base:
            - /srv/salt

       Salt  runs  a  lightweight file server written in ZeroMQ to deliver files to minions. This
       file server is built into the master daemon and does not require a dedicated port.

       The file server works on environments passed to the  master.  Each  environment  can  have
       multiple  root  directories.  The  subdirectories in the multiple file roots cannot match,
       otherwise the downloaded files will not be able to be reliably ensured. A base environment
       is required to house the top file.

       As of 2018.3.5 and 2019.2.1, it is possible to have __env__ as a catch-all environment.

       Example:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt
            dev:
              - /srv/salt/dev/services
              - /srv/salt/dev/states
            prod:
              - /srv/salt/prod/services
              - /srv/salt/prod/states
            __env__:
              - /srv/salt/default

       NOTE:
          For masterless Salt, this parameter must be specified in the minion config file.

   roots_update_interval
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: 60

       This option defines the update interval (in seconds) for file_roots.

       NOTE:
          Since  file_roots  consists  of  files local to the minion, the update process for this
          fileserver backend just reaps the cache for this backend.

          roots_update_interval: 120

   gitfs: Git Remote File Server Backend
   gitfs_remotes
       Default: []

       When using the git fileserver backend at least one git remote needs  to  be  defined.  The
       user running the salt master will need read access to the repo.

       The  repos  will be searched in order to find the file requested by a client and the first
       repo to have the file  will  return  it.  Branches  and  tags  are  translated  into  salt
       environments.

          gitfs_remotes:
            - git://github.com/saltstack/salt-states.git
            - file:///var/git/saltmaster

       NOTE:
          file://  repos will be treated as a remote and copied into the master's gitfs cache, so
          only the local refs for those repos will be exposed as fileserver environments.

       As of 2014.7.0, it is  possible  to  have  per-repo  versions  of  several  of  the  gitfs
       configuration parameters. For more information, see the GitFS Walkthrough.

   gitfs_provider
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Optional parameter used to specify the provider to be used for gitfs. More information can
       be found in the GitFS Walkthrough.

       Must be either pygit2 or gitpython. If unset, then each will be tried in that same  order,
       and the first one with a compatible version installed will be the provider that is used.

          gitfs_provider: gitpython

   gitfs_ssl_verify
       Default: True

       Specifies  whether  or  not  to  ignore  SSL  certificate  errors  when  fetching from the
       repositories configured in gitfs_remotes. The False setting is useful if  you're  using  a
       git  repo  that uses a self-signed certificate. However, keep in mind that setting this to
       anything other True is a  considered  insecure,  and  using  an  SSH-based  transport  (if
       available) may be a better option.

          gitfs_ssl_verify: False

       NOTE:
          pygit2 only supports disabling SSL verification in versions 0.23.2 and newer.

       Changed  in version 2015.8.0: This option can now be configured on individual repositories
       as well. See here for more info.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0: The default config value changed from False to True.

   gitfs_mountpoint
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       Specifies a path on the salt fileserver which will be prepended to  all  files  served  by
       gitfs.  This  option can be used in conjunction with gitfs_root. It can also be configured
       for an individual repository, see here for more info.

          gitfs_mountpoint: salt://foo/bar

       NOTE:
          The salt:// protocol  designation  can  be  left  off  (in  other  words,  foo/bar  and
          salt://foo/bar  are  equivalent). Assuming a file baz.sh in the root of a gitfs remote,
          and  the   above   example   mountpoint,   this   file   would   be   served   up   via
          salt://foo/bar/baz.sh.

   gitfs_root
       Default: ''

       Relative  path  to  a  subdirectory  within the repository from which Salt should begin to
       serve files. This is useful when there are files in the  repository  that  should  not  be
       available  to  the  Salt  fileserver. Can be used in conjunction with gitfs_mountpoint. If
       used, then from Salt's perspective the directories above the one specified will be ignored
       and  the  relative  path will (for the purposes of gitfs) be considered as the root of the
       repo.

          gitfs_root: somefolder/otherfolder

       Changed in version 2014.7.0: This option can now be configured on individual  repositories
       as well. See here for more info.

   gitfs_base
       Default: master

       Defines which branch/tag should be used as the base environment.

          gitfs_base: salt

       Changed  in version 2014.7.0: This option can now be configured on individual repositories
       as well. See here for more info.

   gitfs_saltenv
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       Default: []

       Global settings for per-saltenv configuration parameters. Though per-saltenv configuration
       parameters  are typically one-off changes specific to a single gitfs remote, and thus more
       often configured on a per-remote basis, this parameter can be used to specify  per-saltenv
       changes  which  should apply to all remotes. For example, the below configuration will map
       the develop branch to the dev saltenv for all gitfs remotes.

          gitfs_saltenv:
            - dev:
              - ref: develop

   gitfs_disable_saltenv_mapping
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: False

       When set to True, all saltenv mapping logic is disregarded (aside from which branch/tag is
       mapped  to  the  base  saltenv).  To use any other environments, they must then be defined
       using per-saltenv configuration parameters.

          gitfs_disable_saltenv_mapping: True

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

   gitfs_ref_types
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: ['branch', 'tag', 'sha']

       This  option  defines  what  types  of  refs  are  mapped to fileserver environments (i.e.
       saltenvs). It also sets the order of preference  when  there  are  ambiguously-named  refs
       (i.e.  when a branch and tag both have the same name).  The below example disables mapping
       of both tags and SHAs, so that only branches are mapped as saltenvs:

          gitfs_ref_types:
            - branch

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

       NOTE:
          sha  is  special  in  that  it  will  not show up when listing saltenvs (e.g.  with the
          fileserver.envs runner), but works within states and with cp.cache_file to  retrieve  a
          file from a specific git SHA.

   gitfs_saltenv_whitelist
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Changed in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from gitfs_env_whitelist to gitfs_saltenv_whitelist

       Default: []

       Used  to  restrict  which  environments are made available. Can speed up state runs if the
       repos in gitfs_remotes contain many branches/tags.  More information can be found  in  the
       GitFS Walkthrough.

          gitfs_saltenv_whitelist:
            - base
            - v1.*
            - 'mybranch\d+'

   gitfs_saltenv_blacklist
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Changed in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from gitfs_env_blacklist to gitfs_saltenv_blacklist

       Default: []

       Used  to  restrict  which  environments are made available. Can speed up state runs if the
       repos in gitfs_remotes contain many branches/tags. More information can be  found  in  the
       GitFS Walkthrough.

          gitfs_saltenv_blacklist:
            - base
            - v1.*
            - 'mybranch\d+'

   gitfs_global_lock
       New in version 2015.8.9.

       Default: True

       When set to False, if there is an update lock for a gitfs remote and the pid written to it
       is not running on the master, the lock file will be automatically cleared and a  new  lock
       will be obtained. When set to True, Salt will simply log a warning when there is an update
       lock present.

       On single-master deployments, disabling this  option  can  help  automatically  deal  with
       instances  where  the  master  was shutdown/restarted during the middle of a gitfs update,
       leaving a update lock in place.

       However, on multi-master deployments with the gitfs cachedir shared via GlusterFS, nfs, or
       another network filesystem, it is strongly recommended not to disable this option as doing
       so will cause lock files to be removed if they were created by a different master.

          # Disable global lock
          gitfs_global_lock: False

   gitfs_update_interval
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: 60

       This option defines the default update interval  (in  seconds)  for  gitfs  remotes.   The
       update interval can also be set for a single repository via a per-remote config option

          gitfs_update_interval: 120

   GitFS Authentication Options
       These parameters only currently apply to the pygit2 gitfs provider. Examples of how to use
       these can be found in the GitFS Walkthrough.

   gitfs_user
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       Along with gitfs_password, is used to authenticate to HTTPS remotes.

          gitfs_user: git

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

   gitfs_password
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       Along  with  gitfs_user,  is used to authenticate to HTTPS remotes.  This parameter is not
       required if the repository does not use authentication.

          gitfs_password: mypassword

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

   gitfs_insecure_auth
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: False

       By  default,  Salt  will  not  authenticate  to an HTTP (non-HTTPS) remote. This parameter
       enables authentication over HTTP. Enable this at your own risk.

          gitfs_insecure_auth: True

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

   gitfs_pubkey
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       Along with gitfs_privkey (and optionally gitfs_passphrase), is used to authenticate to SSH
       remotes.  Required for SSH remotes.

          gitfs_pubkey: /path/to/key.pub

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

   gitfs_privkey
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       Along  with gitfs_pubkey (and optionally gitfs_passphrase), is used to authenticate to SSH
       remotes.  Required for SSH remotes.

          gitfs_privkey: /path/to/key

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

   gitfs_passphrase
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       This  parameter  is optional, required only when the SSH key being used to authenticate is
       protected by a passphrase.

          gitfs_passphrase: mypassphrase

       NOTE:
          This is is a global configuration option, see here for examples of configuring  it  for
          individual repositories.

   gitfs_refspecs
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: ['+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*', '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*']

       When fetching from remote repositories, by default Salt will fetch branches and tags. This
       parameter can be used to override  the  default  and  specify  alternate  refspecs  to  be
       fetched. More information on how this feature works can be found in the GitFS Walkthrough.

          gitfs_refspecs:
            - '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
            - '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
            - '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'
            - '+refs/pull/*/merge:refs/remotes/origin/merge/*'

   hgfs: Mercurial Remote File Server Backend
   hgfs_remotes
       New in version 0.17.0.

       Default: []

       When  using  the  hg fileserver backend at least one mercurial remote needs to be defined.
       The user running the salt master will need read access to the repo.

       The repos will be searched in order to find the file requested by a client and  the  first
       repo  to  have the file will return it. Branches and/or bookmarks are translated into salt
       environments, as defined by the hgfs_branch_method parameter.

          hgfs_remotes:
            - https://username@bitbucket.org/username/reponame

       NOTE:
          As  of  2014.7.0,  it  is  possible  to  have  per-repo  versions  of  the   hgfs_root,
          hgfs_mountpoint, hgfs_base, and hgfs_branch_method parameters.  For example:

              hgfs_remotes:
                - https://username@bitbucket.org/username/repo1
                  - base: saltstates
                - https://username@bitbucket.org/username/repo2:
                  - root: salt
                  - mountpoint: salt://foo/bar/baz
                - https://username@bitbucket.org/username/repo3:
                  - root: salt/states
                  - branch_method: mixed

   hgfs_branch_method
       New in version 0.17.0.

       Default: branches

       Defines the objects that will be used as fileserver environments.

       • branches - Only branches and tags will be used

       • bookmarks - Only bookmarks and tags will be used

       • mixed - Branches, bookmarks, and tags will be used

          hgfs_branch_method: mixed

       NOTE:
          Starting in version 2014.1.0, the value of the hgfs_base parameter defines which branch
          is used as the base environment, allowing for a base environment to  be  used  with  an
          hgfs_branch_method of bookmarks.

          Prior to this release, the default branch will be used as the base environment.

   hgfs_mountpoint
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       Specifies  a  path  on  the salt fileserver which will be prepended to all files served by
       hgfs. This option can be used in conjunction with hgfs_root. It can also be configured  on
       a per-remote basis, see here for more info.

          hgfs_mountpoint: salt://foo/bar

       NOTE:
          The  salt://  protocol  designation  can  be  left  off  (in  other  words, foo/bar and
          salt://foo/bar are equivalent). Assuming a file baz.sh in the root of an  hgfs  remote,
          this file would be served up via salt://foo/bar/baz.sh.

   hgfs_root
       New in version 0.17.0.

       Default: ''

       Relative  path  to  a  subdirectory  within the repository from which Salt should begin to
       serve files. This is useful when there are files in the  repository  that  should  not  be
       available  to  the  Salt  fileserver.  Can be used in conjunction with hgfs_mountpoint. If
       used, then from Salt's perspective the directories above the one specified will be ignored
       and  the  relative  path  will (for the purposes of hgfs) be considered as the root of the
       repo.

          hgfs_root: somefolder/otherfolder

       Changed in version 2014.7.0: Ability to specify hgfs  roots  on  a  per-remote  basis  was
       added. See here for more info.

   hgfs_base
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Default: default

       Defines   which   branch   should  be  used  as  the  base  environment.  Change  this  if
       hgfs_branch_method is set to bookmarks to specify which bookmark should  be  used  as  the
       base environment.

          hgfs_base: salt

   hgfs_saltenv_whitelist
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Changed in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from hgfs_env_whitelist to hgfs_saltenv_whitelist

       Default: []

       Used  to  restrict  which environments are made available. Can speed up state runs if your
       hgfs  remotes  contain  many  branches/bookmarks/tags.  Full  names,  globs,  and  regular
       expressions  are  supported.  If using a regular expression, the expression must match the
       entire minion ID.

       If used, only branches/bookmarks/tags which match one of the specified expressions will be
       exposed as fileserver environments.

       If    used    in   conjunction   with   hgfs_saltenv_blacklist,   then   the   subset   of
       branches/bookmarks/tags which match the whitelist but do not match the blacklist  will  be
       exposed as fileserver environments.

          hgfs_saltenv_whitelist:
            - base
            - v1.*
            - 'mybranch\d+'

       branches/bookmarks/tags which match the whitelist but do not match the blacklist  will  be
       exposed as fileserver environments.

          hgfs_saltenv_blacklist:
            - base
            - v1.*
            - 'mybranch\d+'

   hgfs_update_interval
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Default: 60

       This option defines the update interval (in seconds) for hgfs_remotes.

          hgfs_update_interval: 120

   svnfs: Subversion Remote File Server Backend
   svnfs_remotes
       New in version 0.17.0.

       Default: []

       When  using the svn fileserver backend at least one subversion remote needs to be defined.
       The user running the salt master will need read access to the repo.

       The repos will be searched in order to find the file requested by a client and  the  first
       repo  to  have the file will return it. The trunk, branches, and tags become environments,
       with the trunk being the base environment.

          svnfs_remotes:
            - svn://foo.com/svn/myproject

       NOTE:
          As of 2014.7.0, it is possible to have per-repo versions of the following configuration
          parameters:

          • svnfs_rootsvnfs_mountpointsvnfs_trunksvnfs_branchessvnfs_tags

          For example:

              svnfs_remotes:
                - svn://foo.com/svn/project1
                - svn://foo.com/svn/project2:

       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: ''

       Specifies  a  path  on  the salt fileserver which will be prepended to all files served by
       hgfs. This option can be used in conjunction with svnfs_root. It can also be configured on
       a per-remote basis, see here for more info.

          svnfs_mountpoint: salt://foo/bar

       NOTE:
          The  salt://  protocol  designation  can  be  left  off  (in  other  words, foo/bar and

          this file would be served up via salt://foo/bar/baz.sh.

   svnfs_root
       New in version 0.17.0.

       Default: ''

       Relative  path  to  a  subdirectory  within the repository from which Salt should begin to
       serve files. This is useful when there are files in the  repository  that  should  not  be
       available  to  the  Salt  fileserver. Can be used in conjunction with svnfs_mountpoint. If
       used, then from Salt's perspective the directories above the one specified will be ignored
       and  the  relative  path will (for the purposes of svnfs) be considered as the root of the
       repo.

          svnfs_root: somefolder/otherfolder

       Changed in version 2014.7.0: Ability to specify svnfs roots  on  a  per-remote  basis  was

       Default:

          base:
            - /srv/pillar

       Set the environments and directories used to hold pillar sls data. This  configuration  is
       the same as file_roots:

       As of 2017.7.5 and 2018.3.1, it is possible to have __env__ as a catch-all environment.

       Example:

          pillar_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/pillar
            dev:

            - virtkey
            - git

       WARNING:
          This  will  allow  minions  to  request specific pillar data via pillar.ext, and may be
          considered a security risk. However, pillar data generated in this way will not  affect
          the   in-memory   pillar   data,  so  this  risk  is  limited  to  instances  in  which
          states/modules/etc. (built-in or custom) rely upon pillar data generated by pillar.ext.

   decrypt_pillar
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: []

       Entries in this list can be formatted either as a simple string, or as a  key/value  pair,
       with the key being the pillar location, and the value being the renderer to use for pillar
       decryption. If the former is used, the renderer specified by  decrypt_pillar_default  will
       be used.

   decrypt_pillar_delimiter
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: :

       The delimiter used to distinguish nested data structures in the decrypt_pillar option.

          decrypt_pillar_delimiter: '|'
          decrypt_pillar:
            - 'foo|bar': gpg
            - 'lorem|ipsum|dolor'

   decrypt_pillar_default
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: gpg

       The  default  renderer used for decryption, if one is not specified for a given pillar key
       in decrypt_pillar.

          decrypt_pillar_default: my_custom_renderer

   decrypt_pillar_renderers
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: ['gpg']

       List of renderers which are permitted to be used for pillar decryption.

          decrypt_pillar_renderers:
            - gpg
            - my_custom_renderer

   pillar_opts
       Default: False

       The pillar_opts option adds the master configuration file data to a  dict  in  the  pillar
       called  master.  This  can  be used to set simple configurations in the master config file
       that can then be used on minions.

       Note that setting this option to True means the master config file will be included in all
       minion's  pillars.  While this makes global configuration of services and systems easy, it
       may not be desired if sensitive data is stored in the master configuration.

          pillar_opts: False

   pillar_safe_render_error
       Default: True

       The pillar_safe_render_error option prevents the master from passing pillar render  errors
       to  the  minion. This is set on by default because the error could contain templating data
       which would give that minion information it shouldn't have, like a password! When set True
       the error message will only show:

          Rendering SLS 'my.sls' failed. Please see master log for details.

          pillar_safe_render_error: True

   ext_pillar
       The  ext_pillar  option  allows  for any number of external pillar interfaces to be called
       when populating pillar data. The configuration  is  based  on  ext_pillar  functions.  The
       available ext_pillar functions can be found herein:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/pillar

       By default, the ext_pillar interface is not configured to run.

       Default: []

          ext_pillar:
            - hiera: /etc/hiera.yaml
            - cmd_yaml: cat /etc/salt/yaml
            - reclass:
                inventory_base_uri: /etc/reclass

       There are additional details at salt-pillars

   ext_pillar_first
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Default: False

       This  option  allows  for  external  pillar  sources  to be evaluated before pillar_roots.
       External pillar data is evaluated separately from pillar_roots pillar data, and then  both
       sets  of  pillar  data  are  merged  into a single pillar dictionary, so the value of this
       config option will have an impact on which key "wins" when there is one of the  same  name
       in  both  the external pillar data and pillar_roots pillar data. By setting this option to
       True, ext_pillar keys will be overridden by pillar_roots, while leaving it as  False  will
       allow ext_pillar keys to override those from pillar_roots.

       NOTE:
          For  a  while,  this config option did not work as specified above, because of a bug in
          Pillar compilation. This bug has been resolved in version 2016.3.4 and later.

          ext_pillar_first: False

   pillarenv_from_saltenv
       Default: False

       When set to True, the pillarenv value will assume the value of the effective saltenv  when
       running  states. This essentially makes salt-run pillar.show_pillar saltenv=dev equivalent
       to salt-run pillar.show_pillar saltenv=dev pillarenv=dev. If pillarenv is set on the  CLI,
       it will override this option.

          pillarenv_from_saltenv: True

       NOTE:
          For   salt  remote  execution  commands  this  option  should  be  set  in  the  Minion
          configuration instead.

   pillar_raise_on_missing
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Default: False

       Set this option to True to force a KeyError to be raised whenever an attempt to retrieve a
       named  value  from  pillar  fails.  When  this  option is set to False, the failed attempt
       returns an empty string.

   Git External Pillar (git_pillar) Configuration Options
   git_pillar_provider
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Specify the provider to be used for git_pillar. Must be either  pygit2  or  gitpython.  If
       unset,  then  both  will  be tried in that same order, and the first one with a compatible
       version installed will be the provider that is used.

          git_pillar_provider: gitpython

   git_pillar_base
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: master

       If the desired branch matches  this  value,  and  the  environment  is  omitted  from  the
       git_pillar  configuration,  then  the environment for that git_pillar remote will be base.
       For example, in the configuration below, the foo branch/tag would be assigned to the  base
       environment, while bar would be mapped to the bar environment.

          git_pillar_base: foo

          ext_pillar:
            - git:
              - foo https://mygitserver/git-pillar.git
              - bar https://mygitserver/git-pillar.git

   git_pillar_branch
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: master

       If  the branch is omitted from a git_pillar remote, then this branch will be used instead.
       For example, in the configuration below, the first two remotes would  use  the  pillardata
       branch/tag, while the third would use the foo branch/tag.

          git_pillar_branch: pillardata

          ext_pillar:
            - git:
              - https://mygitserver/pillar1.git
              - https://mygitserver/pillar2.git:
                - root: pillar
              - foo https://mygitserver/pillar3.git

   git_pillar_env
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: '' (unset)

       Environment  to  use  for git_pillar remotes. This is normally derived from the branch/tag
       (or from a per-remote env parameter), but  if  set  this  will  override  the  process  of
       deriving the env from the branch/tag name. For example, in the configuration below the foo
       branch would be assigned to the base environment, while  the  bar  branch  would  need  to
       explicitly have bar configured as its environment to keep it from also being mapped to the
       base environment.

          git_pillar_env: base

          ext_pillar:
            - git:
              - foo https://mygitserver/git-pillar.git
              - bar https://mygitserver/git-pillar.git:
                - env: bar

       For this reason, this option is recommended to be left unset, unless the  use  case  calls
       for all (or almost all) of the git_pillar remotes to use the same environment irrespective
       of the branch/tag being used.

   git_pillar_root
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Path relative to the root of the repository where the git_pillar top file  and  SLS  files
       are located. In the below configuration, the pillar top file and SLS files would be looked
       for in a subdirectory called pillar.

          git_pillar_root: pillar

          ext_pillar:
            - git:
              - master https://mygitserver/pillar1.git
              - master https://mygitserver/pillar2.git

       NOTE:
          This is a global option. If only one or two repos need to have their files sourced from
          a  subdirectory, then git_pillar_root can be omitted and the root can be specified on a
          per-remote basis, like so:

              ext_pillar:
                - git:
                  - master https://mygitserver/pillar1.git
                  - master https://mygitserver/pillar2.git:
                    - root: pillar

          In this example, for the first remote the top file and SLS files would be looked for in
          the  root  of  the  repository,  while  in  the  second remote the pillar data would be
          retrieved from the pillar subdirectory.

   git_pillar_ssl_verify
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0.

       Default: False

       Specifies whether or not to ignore SSL  certificate  errors  when  contacting  the  remote
       repository. The False setting is useful if you're using a git repo that uses a self-signed
       certificate. However, keep in  mind  that  setting  this  to  anything  other  True  is  a
       considered  insecure,  and  using  an  SSH-based  transport (if available) may be a better
       option.

       In the 2016.11.0 release, the default config value changed from False to True.

          git_pillar_ssl_verify: True

       NOTE:
          pygit2 only supports disabling SSL verification in versions 0.23.2 and newer.

   git_pillar_global_lock
       New in version 2015.8.9.

       Default: True

       When set to False, if there is an update/checkout lock for a git_pillar remote and the pid
       written  to  it  is not running on the master, the lock file will be automatically cleared
       and a new lock will be obtained. When set to True, Salt will simply  log  a  warning  when
       there is an lock present.

       On  single-master  deployments,  disabling  this  option  can help automatically deal with
       instances where the master was  shutdown/restarted  during  the  middle  of  a  git_pillar
       update/checkout, leaving a lock in place.

       However,  on  multi-master  deployments with the git_pillar cachedir shared via GlusterFS,
       nfs, or another network filesystem, it is strongly recommended not to disable this  option
       as  doing  so  will  cause  lock  files  to be removed if they were created by a different
       master.

          # Disable global lock
          git_pillar_global_lock: False

   git_pillar_includes
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: True

       Normally, when processing git_pillar remotes, if more than one repo  under  the  same  git
       section  in  the ext_pillar configuration refers to the same pillar environment, then each
       repo in a given environment will have access to the other repos' files to be referenced in
       their  top  files.  However, it may be desirable to disable this behavior. If so, set this
       value to False.

       For a more detailed examination of how  includes  work,  see  this  explanation  from  the
       git_pillar documentation.

          git_pillar_includes: False

   git_pillar_update_interval
       New in version 3000.

       Default: 60

       This  option  defines the default update interval (in seconds) for git_pillar remotes. The
       update is handled within the global loop, hence  git_pillar_update_interval  should  be  a
       multiple of loop_interval.

          git_pillar_update_interval: 120

   Git External Pillar Authentication Options
       These  parameters  only  currently apply to the pygit2 git_pillar_provider. Authentication
       works the same as it does in gitfs, as outlined  in  the  GitFS  Walkthrough,  though  the
       global configuration options are named differently to reflect that they are for git_pillar
       instead of gitfs.

   git_pillar_user
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along with git_pillar_password, is used to authenticate to HTTPS remotes.

          git_pillar_user: git

   git_pillar_password
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along with git_pillar_user, is used to authenticate to HTTPS remotes.  This  parameter  is
       not required if the repository does not use authentication.

          git_pillar_password: mypassword

   git_pillar_insecure_auth
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: False

       By  default,  Salt  will  not  authenticate  to an HTTP (non-HTTPS) remote. This parameter
       enables authentication over HTTP. Enable this at your own risk.

          git_pillar_insecure_auth: True

   git_pillar_pubkey
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along  with  git_pillar_privkey  (and  optionally  git_pillar_passphrase),  is   used   to
       authenticate to SSH remotes.

          git_pillar_pubkey: /path/to/key.pub

   git_pillar_privkey
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along   with   git_pillar_pubkey   (and  optionally  git_pillar_passphrase),  is  used  to
       authenticate to SSH remotes.

          git_pillar_privkey: /path/to/key

   git_pillar_passphrase
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       This parameter is optional, required only when the SSH key being used to  authenticate  is
       protected by a passphrase.

          git_pillar_passphrase: mypassphrase

   git_pillar_refspecs
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: ['+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*', '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*']

       When fetching from remote repositories, by default Salt will fetch branches and tags. This
       parameter can be used to override  the  default  and  specify  alternate  refspecs  to  be
       fetched.  This  parameter  works  similarly  to  its  GitFS counterpart, in that it can be
       configured both globally and for individual remotes.

          git_pillar_refspecs:
            - '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
            - '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
            - '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'
            - '+refs/pull/*/merge:refs/remotes/origin/merge/*'

   git_pillar_verify_config
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: True

       By default, as the master  starts  it  performs  some  sanity  checks  on  the  configured
       git_pillar  repositories.  If  any  of  these  sanity checks fail (such as when an invalid
       configuration is used), the master daemon will abort.

       To skip these sanity checks, set this option to False.

          git_pillar_verify_config: False

   Pillar Merging Options
   pillar_source_merging_strategy
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Default: smart

       The pillar_source_merging_strategy option allows you to configure merging strategy between
       different sources. It accepts 5 values:

       • none:

         It  will  not  do  any  merging  at  all  and only parse the pillar data from the passed
         environment and 'base' if no environment was specified.

         New in version 2016.3.4.

       • recurse:

         It will recursively merge data. For example, theses 2 sources:

            foo: 42
            bar:
                element1: True

            bar:
                element2: True
            baz: quux

         will be merged as:

            foo: 42
            bar:
                element1: True
                element2: True
            baz: quux

       • aggregate:

         instructs aggregation of elements between sources that use the #!yamlex renderer.

         For example, these two documents:

            foo: 42
            bar: !aggregate {
              element1: True
            }
            baz: !aggregate quux

            bar: !aggregate {
              element2: True
            }
            baz: !aggregate quux2

         will be merged as:

            foo: 42
            bar:
              element1: True
              element2: True
            baz:
              - quux
              - quux2

         NOTE:
            This requires that the render pipeline defined in the renderer  master  configuration
            ends in yamlex.

       • overwrite:

         Will use the behaviour of the 2014.1 branch and earlier.

         Overwrites elements according the order in which they are processed.

         First pillar processed:

            A:
              first_key: blah
              second_key: blah

         Second pillar processed:

            A:
              third_key: blah
              fourth_key: blah

         will be merged as:

            A:
              third_key: blah
              fourth_key: blah

       • smart (default):

         Guesses the best strategy based on the "renderer" setting.

       NOTE:
          In  order  for  yamlex  based  features  such  as !aggregate to work as expected across
          documents using the default smart merge strategy, the renderer config  option  must  be
          set to jinja|yamlex or similar.

   pillar_merge_lists
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: False

       Recursively merge lists by aggregating them instead of replacing them.

          pillar_merge_lists: False

   pillar_includes_override_sls
       New in version 2017.7.6,2018.3.1.

       Default: False

       Prior  to version 2017.7.3, keys from pillar includes would be merged on top of the pillar
       SLS. Since 2017.7.3, the includes are merged together and then the pillar SLS is merged on
       top of that.

       Set this option to True to return to the old behavior.

          pillar_includes_override_sls: True

   Pillar Cache Options
   pillar_cache
       New in version 2015.8.8.

       Default: False

       A master can cache pillars locally to bypass the expense of having to render them for each
       minion on every request. This feature  should  only  be  enabled  in  cases  where  pillar
       rendering  time  is  known  to be unsatisfactory and any attendant security concerns about
       storing pillars in a master cache have been addressed.

       When enabling this feature, be certain  to  read  through  the  additional  pillar_cache_*
       configuration options to fully understand the tunable parameters and their implications.

          pillar_cache: False

       NOTE:
          Setting pillar_cache: True has no effect on targeting minions with pillar.

   pillar_cache_ttl
       New in version 2015.8.8.

       Default: 3600

       If  and  only if a master has set pillar_cache: True, the cache TTL controls the amount of
       time, in seconds, before the cache is considered invalid by a master and a fresh pillar is
       recompiled and stored.

   pillar_cache_backend
       New in version 2015.8.8.

       Default: disk

       If an only if a master has set pillar_cache: True, one of several storage providers can be
       utilized:

       • disk (default):

         The default storage backend. This caches rendered pillars to the master cache.  Rendered
         pillars  are  serialized  and  deserialized  as msgpack structures for speed.  Note that
         pillars are stored UNENCRYPTED.  Ensure  that  the  master  cache  has  permissions  set
         appropriately (sane defaults are provided).

       • memory [EXPERIMENTAL]:

         An  optional backend for pillar caches which uses a pure-Python in-memory data structure
         for maximal performance. There are several caveats, however. First, because each  master
         worker  contains  its  own  in-memory  cache, there is no guarantee of cache consistency
         between minion requests. This works best in situations where the pillar rarely  if  ever
         changes.  Secondly,  and  perhaps  more importantly, this means that unencrypted pillars
         will be accessible to any process which can examine the memory of the salt-master!  This
         may represent a substantial security risk.

          pillar_cache_backend: disk

   Master Reactor Settings
   reactor
       Default: []

       Defines a salt reactor. See the Reactor documentation for more information.

          reactor:
            - 'salt/minion/*/start':
              - salt://reactor/startup_tasks.sls

   reactor_refresh_interval
       Default: 60

       The TTL for the cache of the reactor configuration.

          reactor_refresh_interval: 60

   reactor_worker_threads
       Default: 10

       The number of workers for the runner/wheel in the reactor.

          reactor_worker_threads: 10

   reactor_worker_hwm
       Default: 10000

       The queue size for workers in the reactor.

          reactor_worker_hwm: 10000

   Salt-API Master Settings
       There are some settings for salt-api that can be configured on the Salt Master.

   api_logfile
       Default: /var/log/salt/api

       The logfile location for salt-api.

          api_logfile: /var/log/salt/api

   api_pidfile
       Default: /var/run/salt-api.pid

       If this master will be running salt-api, specify the pidfile of the salt-api daemon.

          api_pidfile: /var/run/salt-api.pid

   rest_timeout
       Default: 300

       Used by salt-api for the master requests timeout.

          rest_timeout: 300

   Syndic Server Settings
       A  Salt syndic is a Salt master used to pass commands from a higher Salt master to minions
       below the syndic. Using the syndic is simple. If this is a master that  will  have  syndic
       servers(s) below it, set the order_masters setting to True.

       If this is a master that will be running a syndic daemon for passthrough the syndic_master
       setting needs to be set to the location of the master server.

       Do not forget that, in other words, it means that it shares with the local minion  its  ID
       and PKI directory.

   order_masters
       Default: False

       Extra  data  needs to be sent with publications if the master is controlling a lower level
       master via a syndic minion. If this is the case the order_masters value  must  be  set  to
       True

          order_masters: False

   syndic_master
       Changed in version 2016.3.5,2016.11.1: Set default higher level master address.

       Default: masterofmasters

       If  this  master  will  be  running  the  salt-syndic to connect to a higher level master,
       specify the higher level master with this configuration value.

          syndic_master: masterofmasters

       You can optionally connect a syndic to  multiple  higher  level  masters  by  setting  the
       syndic_master value to a list:

          syndic_master:
            - masterofmasters1
            - masterofmasters2

       Each higher level master must be set up in a multi-master configuration.

   syndic_master_port
       Default: 4506

       If  this  master  will  be  running  the  salt-syndic to connect to a higher level master,
       specify the higher level master port with this configuration value.

          syndic_master_port: 4506

   syndic_pidfile
       Default: /var/run/salt-syndic.pid

       If this master will be running the salt-syndic  to  connect  to  a  higher  level  master,
       specify the pidfile of the syndic daemon.

          syndic_pidfile: /var/run/syndic.pid

   syndic_log_file
       Default: /var/log/salt/syndic

       If  this  master  will  be  running  the  salt-syndic to connect to a higher level master,
       specify the log file of the syndic daemon.

          syndic_log_file: /var/log/salt-syndic.log

   syndic_failover
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       Default: random

       The behaviour of the multi-syndic when connection to a  master  of  masters  failed.   Can
       specify  random (default) or ordered. If set to random, masters will be iterated in random
       order. If ordered is specified, the configured order will be used.

          syndic_failover: random

   syndic_wait
       Default: 5

       The number of seconds for the salt client to wait for additional syndics to check in  with
       their lists of expected minions before giving up.

          syndic_wait: 5

   syndic_forward_all_events
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: False

       Option  on  multi-syndic  or  single when connected to multiple masters to be able to send
       events to all connected masters.

          syndic_forward_all_events: False

   Peer Publish Settings
       Salt minions can send commands to other minions, but only if the minion is allowed to.  By
       default  "Peer  Publication"  is  disabled,  and  when  enabled it is enabled for specific
       minions and specific commands. This allows secure compartmentalization of  commands  based
       on individual minions.

   peer
       Default: {}

       The  configuration  uses  regular  expressions to match minions and then a list of regular
       expressions to match functions. The following  will  allow  the  minion  authenticated  as
       foo.example.com to execute functions from the test and pkg modules.

          peer:
            foo.example.com:
                - test.*
                - pkg.*

       This will allow all minions to execute all commands:

          peer:
            .*:
                - .*

       This is not recommended, since it would allow anyone who gets root on any single minion to
       instantly have root on all of the minions!

       By adding an additional layer you can limit the target hosts in addition to the accessible
       commands:

          peer:
            foo.example.com:
              'db*':
                - test.*
                - pkg.*

   peer_run
       Default: {}

       The  peer_run  option is used to open up runners on the master to access from the minions.
       The peer_run configuration matches the format of the peer configuration.

       The following example would allow foo.example.com to execute the manage.up runner:

          peer_run:
            foo.example.com:
                - manage.up

   Master Logging Settings
   log_file
       Default: /var/log/salt/master

       The master log can be sent to a regular file, local path name, or  network  location.  See
       also log_file.

       Examples:

          log_file: /var/log/salt/master

          log_file: file:///dev/log

          log_file: udp://loghost:10514

   log_level
       Default: warning

       The level of messages to send to the console. See also log_level.

          log_level: warning

   log_level_logfile
       Default: warning

       The  level of messages to send to the log file. See also log_level_logfile. When it is not
       set explicitly it will inherit the level set by log_level option.

          log_level_logfile: warning

   log_datefmt
       Default: %H:%M:%S

       The date and time format used in console log messages. See also log_datefmt.

          log_datefmt: '%H:%M:%S'

   log_datefmt_logfile
       Default: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

       The date and time format used in log file messages. See also log_datefmt_logfile.

          log_datefmt_logfile: '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

   log_fmt_console
       Default: [%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s

       The format of the console logging messages. See also log_fmt_console.

       NOTE:
          Log colors are enabled in log_fmt_console  rather  than  the  color  config  since  the
          logging system is loaded before the master config.

          Console log colors are specified by these additional formatters:

          %(colorlevel)s %(colorname)s %(colorprocess)s %(colormsg)s

          Since it is desirable to include the surrounding brackets, '[' and ']', in the coloring
          of the messages, these color formatters also include padding as well.  Color  LogRecord
          attributes are only available for console logging.

          log_fmt_console: '%(colorlevel)s %(colormsg)s'
          log_fmt_console: '[%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s'

   log_fmt_logfile
       Default: %(asctime)s,%(msecs)03d [%(name)-17s][%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s

       The format of the log file logging messages. See also log_fmt_logfile.

          log_fmt_logfile: '%(asctime)s,%(msecs)03d [%(name)-17s][%(levelname)-8s] %(message)s'

   log_granular_levels
       Default: {}

       This   can   be   used   to   control   logging   levels   more   specifically.  See  also
       log_granular_levels.

   log_rotate_max_bytes
       Default:  0

       The maximum number of bytes a single log file may contain before it is rotated.   A  value
       of  0  disables this feature. Currently only supported on Windows. On other platforms, use
       an external tool such as 'logrotate' to manage log files.  log_rotate_max_bytes

   log_rotate_backup_count
       Default:  0

       The  number  of  backup  files  to  keep  when  rotating   log   files.   Only   used   if
       log_rotate_max_bytes  is  greater  than  0.  Currently only supported on Windows. On other
       platforms,  use  an  external  tool   such   as   'logrotate'   to   manage   log   files.
       log_rotate_backup_count

   Node Groups
   nodegroups
       Default: {}

       Node groups allow for logical groupings of minion nodes.  A group consists of a group name
       and a compound target.

          nodegroups:
            group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com or bl*.domain.com'
            group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'
            group3: 'G@os:Debian and N@group1'
            group4:
              - 'G@foo:bar'
              - 'or'
              - 'G@foo:baz'

       More information on using nodegroups can be found here.

   Range Cluster Settings
   range_server
       Default: 'range:80'

       The  range  server  (and   optional   port)   that   serves   your   cluster   information
       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range/wiki/%22yamlfile%22-module-file-spec

          range_server: range:80

   Include Configuration
       Configuration can be loaded from multiple files. The order in which this is done is:

       1. The master config file itself

       2. The files matching the glob in default_include

       3. The files matching the glob in include (if defined)

       Each  successive  step overrides any values defined in the previous steps.  Therefore, any
       config options defined in one of the default_include files would override the  same  value
       in the master config file, and any options defined in include would override both.

   default_include
       Default: master.d/*.conf

       The  master  can  include  configuration  from  other  files.  Per default the master will
       automatically include all config files from master.d/*.conf where master.d is relative  to
       the directory of the master configuration file.

       NOTE:
          Salt  creates files in the master.d directory for its own use. These files are prefixed
          with an underscore. A common example of this is the _schedule.conf file.

   include
       Default: not defined

       The master can include configuration from other files. To enable  this,  pass  a  list  of
       paths  to this option. The paths can be either relative or absolute; if relative, they are
       considered to be relative to the directory the main minion configuration  file  lives  in.
       Paths  can  make  use of shell-style globbing. If no files are matched by a path passed to
       this option then the master will log a warning message.

          # Include files from a master.d directory in the same
          # directory as the master config file
          include: master.d/*

          # Include a single extra file into the configuration
          include: /etc/roles/webserver

          # Include several files and the master.d directory
          include:
            - extra_config
            - master.d/*
            - /etc/roles/webserver

   Keepalive Settings
   tcp_keepalive
       Default: True

       The tcp keepalive interval to set on TCP ports. This setting can  be  used  to  tune  Salt
       connectivity issues in messy network environments with misbehaving firewalls.

          tcp_keepalive: True

   tcp_keepalive_cnt
       Default: -1

       Sets the ZeroMQ TCP keepalive count. May be used to tune issues with minion disconnects.

          tcp_keepalive_cnt: -1

   tcp_keepalive_idle
       Default: 300

       Sets ZeroMQ TCP keepalive idle. May be used to tune issues with minion disconnects.

          tcp_keepalive_idle: 300

   tcp_keepalive_intvl
       Default: -1

       Sets ZeroMQ TCP keepalive interval. May be used to tune issues with minion disconnects.

          tcp_keepalive_intvl': -1

   Windows Software Repo Settings
   winrepo_provider
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Specify the provider to be used for winrepo. Must be either pygit2 or gitpython. If unset,
       then both will be tried in that same order, and the first one with  a  compatible  version
       installed will be the provider that is used.

          winrepo_provider: gitpython

   winrepo_dir
       Changed in version 2015.8.0: Renamed from win_repo to winrepo_dir.

       Default: /srv/salt/win/repo

       Location on the master where the winrepo_remotes are checked out for pre-2015.8.0 minions.
       2015.8.0 and later minions use winrepo_remotes_ng instead.

          winrepo_dir: /srv/salt/win/repo

   winrepo_dir_ng
       New in version 2015.8.0: A new ng repo was added.

       Default: /srv/salt/win/repo-ng

       Location on the master where the winrepo_remotes_ng are checked out for 2015.8.0 and later
       minions.

          winrepo_dir_ng: /srv/salt/win/repo-ng

   winrepo_cachefile
       Changed in version 2015.8.0: Renamed from win_repo_mastercachefile to winrepo_cachefile

       NOTE:
          2015.8.0 and later minions do not use this setting since the cachefile is now generated
          by the minion.

       Default: winrepo.p

       Path relative to winrepo_dir where the winrepo cache should be created.

          winrepo_cachefile: winrepo.p

   winrepo_remotes
       Changed in version 2015.8.0: Renamed from win_gitrepos to winrepo_remotes.

       Default: ['https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo.git']

       List of git repositories to checkout and include in the winrepo for pre-2015.8.0  minions.
       2015.8.0 and later minions use winrepo_remotes_ng instead.

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo.git

       To  specify  a  specific revision of the repository, prepend a commit ID to the URL of the
       repository:

          winrepo_remotes:
            - '<commit_id> https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo.git'

       Replace <commit_id> with the SHA1 hash of a commit ID. Specifying a commit ID is useful in
       that  it  allows  one  to  revert back to a previous version in the event that an error is
       introduced in the latest revision of the repo.

   winrepo_remotes_ng
       New in version 2015.8.0: A new ng repo was added.

       Default: ['https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng.git']

       List of git repositories to checkout and include in the winrepo  for  2015.8.0  and  later
       minions.

          winrepo_remotes_ng:
            - https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng.git

       To  specify  a  specific revision of the repository, prepend a commit ID to the URL of the
       repository:

          winrepo_remotes_ng:
            - '<commit_id> https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng.git'

       Replace <commit_id> with the SHA1 hash of a commit ID. Specifying a commit ID is useful in
       that  it  allows  one  to  revert back to a previous version in the event that an error is
       introduced in the latest revision of the repo.

   winrepo_branch
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: master

       If the branch is omitted from a winrepo remote, then this branch will be used instead. For
       example,  in  the  configuration  below,  the  first  two  remotes  would  use the winrepo
       branch/tag, while the third would use the foo branch/tag.

          winrepo_branch: winrepo

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://mygitserver/winrepo1.git
            - https://mygitserver/winrepo2.git:
            - foo https://mygitserver/winrepo3.git

   winrepo_ssl_verify
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0.

       Default: False

       Specifies whether or not to ignore SSL  certificate  errors  when  contacting  the  remote
       repository.  The   False  setting  is  useful  if  you're  using  a  git  repo that uses a
       self-signed certificate. However, keep in mind that setting this to anything other True is
       a  considered  insecure,  and  using an SSH-based transport (if available) may be a better
       option.

       In the 2016.11.0 release, the default config value changed from False to True.

          winrepo_ssl_verify: True

   Winrepo Authentication Options
       These parameters only currently apply to the pygit2 winrepo_provider. Authentication works
       the  same  as  it  does  in gitfs, as outlined in the GitFS Walkthrough, though the global
       configuration options are named differently to reflect that they are for  winrepo  instead
       of gitfs.

   winrepo_user
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along with winrepo_password, is used to authenticate to HTTPS remotes.

          winrepo_user: git

   winrepo_password
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along  with  winrepo_user, is used to authenticate to HTTPS remotes. This parameter is not
       required if the repository does not use authentication.

          winrepo_password: mypassword

   winrepo_insecure_auth
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: False

       By default, Salt will not authenticate to  an  HTTP  (non-HTTPS)  remote.  This  parameter
       enables authentication over HTTP. Enable this at your own risk.

          winrepo_insecure_auth: True

   winrepo_pubkey
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along with winrepo_privkey (and optionally winrepo_passphrase), is used to authenticate to
       SSH remotes.

          winrepo_pubkey: /path/to/key.pub

   winrepo_privkey
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       Along with winrepo_pubkey (and optionally winrepo_passphrase), is used to authenticate  to
       SSH remotes.

          winrepo_privkey: /path/to/key

   winrepo_passphrase
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default: ''

       This  parameter  is optional, required only when the SSH key being used to authenticate is
       protected by a passphrase.

          winrepo_passphrase: mypassphrase

   winrepo_refspecs
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Default: ['+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*', '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*']

       When fetching from remote repositories, by default Salt will fetch branches and tags. This
       parameter  can  be  used  to  override  the  default  and specify alternate refspecs to be
       fetched. This parameter works similarly to its  GitFS  counterpart,  in  that  it  can  be
       configured both globally and for individual remotes.

          winrepo_refspecs:
            - '+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*'
            - '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*'
            - '+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*'
            - '+refs/pull/*/merge:refs/remotes/origin/merge/*'

   Configure Master on Windows
       The  master  on  Windows  requires  no additional configuration. You can modify the master
       configuration by creating/editing the master config file located  at  c:\salt\conf\master.
       The  same  configuration  options  available on Linux are available in Windows, as long as
       they apply. For example, SSH options wouldn't apply in Windows. The main  differences  are
       the  file  paths.  If  you are familiar with common salt paths, the following table may be
       useful:

                                 ┌────────────┬───────┬───────────────┐
                                 │linux Paths │       │ Windows Paths │
                                 ├────────────┼───────┼───────────────┤
                                 │/etc/salt<--->c:\salt\conf  │
                                 ├────────────┼───────┼───────────────┤
                                 │/<--->c:\salt       │
                                 └────────────┴───────┴───────────────┘

       So, for example, the master config file in  Linux  is  /etc/salt/master.  In  Windows  the
       master  config  file is c:\salt\conf\master. The Linux path /etc/salt becomes c:\salt\conf
       in Windows.

USING SALT

       This section describes the fundamental components and concepts that you need to understand
       to use Salt.

   Grains
       Salt  comes  with an interface to derive information about the underlying system.  This is
       called the grains interface, because it presents salt with grains of  information.  Grains
       are  collected for the operating system, domain name, IP address, kernel, OS type, memory,
       and many other system properties.

       The grains interface is made available to Salt modules and components so  that  the  right
       salt minion commands are automatically available on the right systems.

       Grain  data  is  relatively  static, though if system information changes (for example, if
       network settings are changed), or if a new value is assigned to a custom grain, grain data
       is refreshed.

       NOTE:
          Grains resolve to lowercase letters. For example, FOO, and foo target the same grain.

   Listing Grains
       Available grains can be listed by using the 'grains.ls' module:

          salt '*' grains.ls

       Grains data can be listed by using the 'grains.items' module:

          salt '*' grains.items

   Using grains in a state
       To use a grain in a state you can access it via {{ grains['key'] }}.

   Grains in the Minion Config
       Grains can also be statically assigned within the minion configuration file.  Just add the
       option grains and pass options to it:

          grains:
            roles:
              - webserver
              - memcache
            deployment: datacenter4
            cabinet: 13
            cab_u: 14-15

       Then status data specific to your servers can be retrieved via Salt, or used inside of the
       State  system  for  matching.  It  also makes it possible to target based on specific data
       about your deployment, as in the example above.

   Grains in /etc/salt/grains
       If you do not want to place your custom static grains in the minion config file,  you  can
       also put them in /etc/salt/grains on the minion. They are configured in the same way as in
       the above example, only without a top-level grains: key:

          roles:
            - webserver
            - memcache
          deployment: datacenter4
          cabinet: 13
          cab_u: 14-15

       NOTE:
          Grains in /etc/salt/grains are ignored if you specify the same  grains  in  the  minion
          config.

       NOTE:
          Grains  are  static,  and  since  they  are  not often changed, they will need a grains
          refresh  when  they  are  updated.  You  can  do   this   by   calling:   salt   minion
          saltutil.refresh_modules

       NOTE:
          You  can  equally  configure static grains for Proxy Minions.  As multiple Proxy Minion
          processes can run on the same machine, you need to index the files using the Minion ID,
          under  /etc/salt/proxy.d/<minion  ID>/grains.   For  example,  the grains for the Proxy
          Minion router1 can be defined under /etc/salt/proxy.d/router1/grains, while the  grains
          for the Proxy Minion switch7 can be put in /etc/salt/proxy.d/switch7/grains.

   Matching Grains in the Top File
       With  correctly  configured  grains  on  the Minion, the top file used in Pillar or during
       Highstate can be made very efficient. For example, consider the following configuration:

          'roles:webserver':
            - match: grain
            - state0

          'roles:memcache':
            - match: grain
            - state1
            - state2

       For this example to work, you would need to have defined the grain role  for  the  minions
       you wish to match.

   Writing Grains
       WARNING:
          Grains  can  be  set by users that have access to the minion configuration files on the
          local system, making them less secure than other identifiers  in  Salt.  Avoid  storing
          sensitive  data,  such  as  passwords  or keys, on minions. Instead, make use of pillar
          and/or sdb.

       The grains are derived by executing all of the "public" functions (i.e. those which do not
       begin  with  an  underscore)  found in the modules located in the Salt's core grains code,
       followed by those in any custom grains modules. The functions  in  a  grains  module  must
       return  a  Python  dictionary, where the dictionary keys are the names of grains, and each
       key's value is that value for that grain.

       Custom grains modules should be placed in a subdirectory named _grains located  under  the
       file_roots   specified   by   the   master   config   file.  The  default  path  would  be
       /srv/salt/_grains.  Custom  grains  modules  will  be  distributed  to  the  minions  when
       state.highstate  is  run,  or  by  executing the saltutil.sync_grains or saltutil.sync_all
       functions.

       Grains modules are easy to write, and (as noted above) only need to return  a  dictionary.
       For example:

          def yourfunction():
              # initialize a grains dictionary
              grains = {}
              # Some code for logic that sets grains like
              grains["yourcustomgrain"] = True
              grains["anothergrain"] = "somevalue"
              return grains

       The  name of the function does not matter and will not factor into the grains data at all;
       only the keys/values returned become part of the grains.

   When to Use a Custom Grain
       Before adding new grains, consider what the data is and remember that grains  should  (for
       the most part) be static data.

       If  the  data is something that is likely to change, consider using Pillar or an execution
       module instead. If it's a simple set of key/value  pairs,  pillar  is  a  good  match.  If
       compiling  the  information  requires  that  system  commands  be  run,  then putting this
       information in an execution module is likely a better idea.

       Good candidates for grains are data that is useful for targeting minions in the  top  file
       or  the  Salt  CLI. The name and data structure of the grain should be designed to support
       many platforms,  operating  systems  or  applications.  Also,  keep  in  mind  that  Jinja
       templating  in  Salt  supports  referencing pillar data as well as invoking functions from
       execution modules, so there's no need to place information in grains to make it  available
       to Jinja templates. For example:

          ...
          ...
          {{ salt['module.function_name']('argument_1', 'argument_2') }}
          {{ pillar['my_pillar_key'] }}
          ...
          ...

       WARNING:
          Custom grains will not be available in the top file until after the first highstate. To
          make custom grains available on a minion's first highstate, it is  recommended  to  use
          this example to ensure that the custom grains are synced when the minion starts.

   Loading Custom Grains
       If  you have multiple functions specifying grains that are called from a main function, be
       sure to prepend grain function names with an underscore. This prevents Salt from including
       the loaded grains from the grain functions in the final grain data structure. For example,
       consider this custom grain file:

          #!/usr/bin/env python
          def _my_custom_grain():
              my_grain = {"foo": "bar", "hello": "world"}
              return my_grain

          def main():
              # initialize a grains dictionary
              grains = {}
              grains["my_grains"] = _my_custom_grain()
              return grains

       The output of this example renders like so:

          # salt-call --local grains.items
          local:
              ----------
              <Snipped for brevity>
              my_grains:
                  ----------
                  foo:
                      bar
                  hello:
                      world

       However, if you don't  prepend  the  my_custom_grain  function  with  an  underscore,  the
       function  will be rendered twice by Salt in the items output: once for the my_custom_grain
       call itself, and again when it is called in the main function:

          # salt-call --local grains.items
          local:
          ----------
              <Snipped for brevity>
              foo:
                  bar
              <Snipped for brevity>
              hello:
                  world
              <Snipped for brevity>
              my_grains:
                  ----------
                  foo:
                      bar
                  hello:
                      world

   Precedence
       Core grains can be overridden by custom grains. As there  are  several  ways  of  defining
       custom  grains, there is an order of precedence which should be kept in mind when defining
       them. The order of evaluation is as follows:

       1. Core grains.

       2. Custom grains in /etc/salt/grains.

       3. Custom grains in /etc/salt/minion.

       4. Custom grain modules in _grains directory, synced to minions.

       Each successive evaluation overrides the previous ones, so any grains  defined  by  custom
       grains  modules  synced  to  minions that have the same name as a core grain will override
       that core grain. Similarly, grains from /etc/salt/minion override  both  core  grains  and
       custom grain modules, and grains in _grains will override any grains of the same name.

       For  custom grains, if the function takes an argument grains, then the previously rendered
       grains will be passed in.  Because the rest of the grains could be rendered in any  order,
       the only grains that can be relied upon to be passed in are core grains. This was added in
       the 2019.2.0 release.

   Examples of Grains
       The core module in the grains package is where the main grains  are  loaded  by  the  Salt
       minion and provides the principal example of how to write grains:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/grains/core.py

   Syncing Grains
       Syncing  grains  can  be  done  a  number  of  ways.  They  are  automatically synced when
       state.highstate is called, or (as noted above) the  grains  can  be  manually  synced  and
       reloaded by calling the saltutil.sync_grains or saltutil.sync_all functions.

       NOTE:
          When  the  grains_cache  is  set to False, the grains dictionary is built and stored in
          memory on the minion. Every time the minion restarts or saltutil.refresh_grains is run,
          the grain dictionary is rebuilt from scratch.

   Storing Static Data in the Pillar
       Pillar is an interface for Salt designed to offer global values that can be distributed to
       minions. Pillar data is managed in a similar way as the Salt State Tree.

       Pillar was added to Salt in version 0.9.8

       NOTE:
          Storing sensitive data

          Pillar data is compiled on the master. Additionally, pillar data for a given minion  is
          only  accessible  by  the  minion for which it is targeted in the pillar configuration.
          This makes pillar useful for storing sensitive data specific to a particular minion.

   Declaring the Master Pillar
       The Salt Master server maintains a pillar_roots setup that matches the  structure  of  the
       file_roots  used  in  the  Salt file server. Like file_roots, the pillar_roots option maps
       environments to directories. The pillar data is then mapped to minions based  on  matchers
       in  a  top  file which is laid out in the same way as the state top file. Salt pillars can
       use the same matcher types as the standard top file.

       conf_master:pillar_roots is configured just like file_roots.  For example:

          pillar_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/pillar

       This example configuration declares that the base  environment  will  be  located  in  the
       /srv/pillar directory. It must not be in a subdirectory of the state tree.

       The  top  file  used  matches  the  name of the top file used for States, and has the same
       structure:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            '*':
              - packages

       In the above top file, it is declared that in the base environment, the glob matching  all
       minions  will  have the pillar data found in the packages pillar available to it. Assuming
       the pillar_roots value of /srv/pillar taken from  above,  the  packages  pillar  would  be
       located at /srv/pillar/packages.sls.

       Any  number  of  matchers  can  be  added to the base environment. For example, here is an
       expanded version of the Pillar top file stated above:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages
            'web*':
              - vim

       In  this  expanded  top  file,  minions  that  match  web*  will  have   access   to   the
       /srv/pillar/packages.sls file, as well as the /srv/pillar/vim.sls file.

       Another  example  shows  how  to use other standard top matching types to deliver specific
       salt pillar data to minions with different properties.

       Here is an example using the grains matcher to target  pillars  to  minions  by  their  os
       grain:

          dev:
            'os:Debian':
              - match: grain
              - servers

       Pillar  definitions  can  also  take a keyword argument ignore_missing.  When the value of
       ignore_missing is True, all errors for missing pillar files are ignored. The default value
       for ignore_missing is False.

       Here is an example using the ignore_missing keyword parameter to ignore errors for missing
       pillar files:

          base:
            '*':
              - servers
              - systems
              - ignore_missing: True

       Assuming that the pillar servers exists in the fileserver backend and the  pillar  systems
       doesn't,  all pillar data from servers pillar is delivered to minions and no error for the
       missing pillar systems is noted under the key _errors in  the  pillar  data  delivered  to
       minions.

       Should the ignore_missing keyword parameter have the value False, an error for the missing
       pillar systems would produce the value Specified SLS 'servers' in  environment  'base'  is
       not  available  on  the  salt master under the key _errors in the pillar data delivered to
       minions.

       /srv/pillar/packages.sls

          {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat' %}
          apache: httpd
          git: git
          {% elif grains['os'] == 'Debian' %}
          apache: apache2
          git: git-core
          {% endif %}

          company: Foo Industries

       IMPORTANT:
          See Is Targeting using Grain Data Secure? for important security information.

       The above pillar sets two key/value pairs. If a minion is running RedHat, then the  apache
       key  is  set to httpd and the git key is set to the value of git. If the minion is running
       Debian, those values are changed to apache2 and git-core respectively.  All  minions  that
       have  this  pillar  targeting  to  them via a top file will have the key of company with a
       value of Foo Industries.

       Consequently this data can be used from within modules, renderers, State  SLS  files,  and
       more via the shared pillar dictionary:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['apache'] }}

          git:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['git'] }}

       Finally,  the above states can utilize the values provided to them via Pillar.  All pillar
       values targeted to a minion are available via the 'pillar'  dictionary.  As  seen  in  the
       above  example,  Jinja  substitution can then be utilized to access the keys and values in
       the Pillar dictionary.

       Note that you cannot just list key/value-information in top.sls. Instead, target a  minion
       to  a  pillar file and then list the keys and values in the pillar. Here is an example top
       file that illustrates this point:

          base:
            '*':
               - common_pillar

       And the actual pillar file at '/srv/pillar/common_pillar.sls':

          foo: bar
          boo: baz

       NOTE:
          When working with multiple pillar environments, assuming that each  pillar  environment
          has  its  own top file, the jinja placeholder {{ saltenv }} can be used in place of the
          environment name:

              {{ saltenv }}:
                '*':
                   - common_pillar

          Yes, this is {{ saltenv }}, and not {{ pillarenv }}. The reason for this is because the
          Pillar  top  files  are  parsed using some of the same code which parses top files when
          running states, so the pillar environment takes the place of {{ saltenv }} in the jinja
          context.

   Dynamic Pillar Environments
       If  environment  __env__  is  specified  in  pillar_roots,  all  environments that are not
       explicitly specified in pillar_roots will map to the directories from __env__. This allows
       one  to  use  dynamic  git  branch based environments for state/pillar files with the same
       file-based pillar applying to all environments. For example:

          pillar_roots:
            __env__:
              - /srv/pillar

          ext_pillar:
            - git:
              - __env__ https://example.com/git-pillar.git

       New in version 2017.7.5,2018.3.1.

   Pillar Namespace Flattening
       The separate pillar SLS files all merge down into a single dictionary of key-value  pairs.
       When the same key is defined in multiple SLS files, this can result in unexpected behavior
       if care is not taken to how the pillar SLS files are laid out.

       For example, given a top.sls containing the following:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages
              - services

       with packages.sls containing:

          bind: bind9

       and services.sls containing:

          bind: named

       Then a request for the bind pillar key will only return named. The  bind9  value  will  be
       lost, because services.sls was evaluated later.

       NOTE:
          Pillar  files  are  applied  in  the  order they are listed in the top file.  Therefore
          conflicting keys will be overwritten in a 'last one wins' manner!  For example, in  the
          above  scenario  conflicting  key  values  in services will overwrite those in packages
          because it's at the bottom of the list.

       It can be better to structure your pillar files  with  more  hierarchy.  For  example  the
       package.sls file could be configured like so:

          packages:
            bind: bind9

       This would make the packages pillar key a nested dictionary containing a bind key.

   Pillar Dictionary Merging
       If the same pillar key is defined in multiple pillar SLS files, and the keys in both files
       refer to nested dictionaries, then the content from these dictionaries will be recursively
       merged.

       For  example,  keeping  the  top.sls  the  same, assume the following modifications to the
       pillar SLS files:

       packages.sls:

          bind:
            package-name: bind9
            version: 9.9.5

       services.sls:

          bind:
            port: 53
            listen-on: any

       The resulting pillar dictionary will be:

          $ salt-call pillar.get bind
          local:
              ----------
              listen-on:
                  any
              package-name:
                  bind9
              port:
                  53
              version:
                  9.9.5

       Since both pillar SLS files contained a bind key which contained a nested dictionary,  the
       pillar dictionary's bind key contains the combined contents of both SLS files' bind keys.

   Including Other Pillars
       New in version 0.16.0.

       Pillar  SLS files may include other pillar files, similar to State files. Two syntaxes are
       available for this purpose. The simple form simply includes the additional pillar as if it
       were part of the same file:

          include:
            - users

       The  full  include  form  allows  two  additional options -- passing default values to the
       templating engine for the included pillar file as well as an optional key under  which  to
       nest the results of the included pillar:

          include:
            - users:
                defaults:
                    sudo: ['bob', 'paul']
                key: users

       With this form, the included file (users.sls) will be nested within the 'users' key of the
       compiled pillar. Additionally, the 'sudo' value will be available as a  template  variable
       to users.sls.

   In-Memory Pillar Data vs. On-Demand Pillar Data
       Since  compiling pillar data is computationally expensive, the minion will maintain a copy
       of the pillar data in memory to avoid needing to ask the master to recompile and send it a
       copy  of the pillar data each time pillar data is requested. This in-memory pillar data is
       what is returned by the pillar.item, pillar.get, and pillar.raw functions.

       Also, for those writing custom execution  modules,  or  contributing  to  Salt's  existing
       execution  modules,  the  in-memory  pillar  data  is  available  as the __pillar__ dunder
       dictionary.

       The in-memory pillar data is generated on minion start, and can  be  refreshed  using  the
       saltutil.refresh_pillar function:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       This  function triggers the minion to asynchronously refresh the in-memory pillar data and
       will always return None.

       In contrast to in-memory pillar data, certain actions trigger pillar data to  be  compiled
       to ensure that the most up-to-date pillar data is available. These actions include:

       • Running states

       • Running pillar.items

       Performing these actions will not refresh the in-memory pillar data. So, if pillar data is
       modified, and then states are run, the states  will  see  the  updated  pillar  data,  but
       pillar.item,  pillar.get,  and  pillar.raw  will  not see this data unless refreshed using
       saltutil.refresh_pillar.

   How Pillar Environments Are Handled
       When multiple pillar environments are used, the default behavior is for  the  pillar  data
       from  all environments to be merged together. The pillar dictionary will therefore contain
       keys from all configured environments.

       The pillarenv minion config option can be used to force the minion to only consider pillar
       configuration  from  a  single environment. This can be useful in cases where one needs to
       run states with alternate pillar data, either in  a  testing/QA  environment  or  to  test
       changes to the pillar data before pushing them live.

       For example, assume that the following is set in the minion config file:

          pillarenv: base

       This  would  cause  that  minion to ignore all other pillar environments besides base when
       compiling the in-memory pillar data. Then, when running states, the pillarenv CLI argument
       can be used to override the minion's pillarenv config value:

          salt '*' state.apply mystates pillarenv=testing

       The  above  command  will  run  the  states  with pillar data sourced exclusively from the
       testing environment, without modifying the in-memory pillar data.

       NOTE:
          When running states, the pillarenv CLI option does not require a pillarenv option to be
          set  in  the  minion  config file. When pillarenv is left unset, as mentioned above all
          configured environments will be combined. Running states with pillarenv=testing in this
          case  would  still  restrict the states' pillar data to just that of the testing pillar
          environment.

       Starting in the 2017.7.0 release, it is possible to pin the  pillarenv  to  the  effective
       saltenv,  using the pillarenv_from_saltenv minion config option. When this is set to True,
       if a specific saltenv is specified when running states, the pillarenv will  be  the  same.
       This essentially makes the following two commands equivalent:

          salt '*' state.apply mystates saltenv=dev
          salt '*' state.apply mystates saltenv=dev pillarenv=dev

       However,  if  a  pillarenv is specified, it will override this behavior. So, the following
       command will use the qa pillar environment but source the SLS files from the dev saltenv:

          salt '*' state.apply mystates saltenv=dev pillarenv=qa

       So, if a pillarenv is set in  the  minion  config  file,  pillarenv_from_saltenv  will  be
       ignored,    and   passing   a   pillarenv   on   the   CLI   will   temporarily   override
       pillarenv_from_saltenv.

   Viewing Pillar Data
       To view pillar data, use  the  pillar  execution  module.  This  module  includes  several
       functions, each of them with their own use. These functions include:

       • pillar.item - Retrieves the value of one or more keys from the in-memory pillar data.

       • pillar.items  - Compiles a fresh pillar dictionary and returns it, leaving the in-memory
         pillar data untouched. If pillar keys are passed to this function however, this function
         acts like pillar.item and returns their values from the in-memory pillar data.

       • pillar.raw  -  Like  pillar.items, it returns the entire pillar dictionary, but from the
         in-memory pillar data instead of compiling fresh pillar data.

       • pillar.get - Described in detail below.

   The pillar.get Function
       New in version 0.14.0.

       The pillar.get function works much in the same way as the get method in a python dict, but
       with an enhancement: nested dictonaries can be traversed using a colon as a delimiter.

       If a structure like this is in pillar:

          foo:
            bar:
              baz: qux

       Extracting it from the raw pillar in an sls formula or file template is done this way:

          {{ pillar['foo']['bar']['baz'] }}

       Now, with the new pillar.get function the data can be safely gathered and a default can be
       set, allowing the template to fall back if the value is not available:

          {{ salt['pillar.get']('foo:bar:baz', 'qux') }}

       This makes handling nested structures much easier.

       NOTE:
          pillar.get() vs salt['pillar.get']()

          It should be noted that within templating, the pillar variable is  just  a  dictionary.
          This  means  that  calling  pillar.get() inside of a template will just use the default
          dictionary .get() function which does not include the extra : delimiter  functionality.
          It  must be called using the above syntax (salt['pillar.get']('foo:bar:baz', 'qux')) to
          get the salt function, instead of the default dictionary behavior.

   Setting Pillar Data at the Command Line
       Pillar data can be set at the command line like the following example:

          salt '*' state.apply pillar='{"cheese": "spam"}'

       This will add a pillar key of cheese with its value set to spam.

       NOTE:
          Be aware that when sending sensitive data via  pillar  on  the  command-line  that  the
          publication  containing  that  data  will  be  received  by all minions and will not be
          restricted to the targeted minions. This may  represent  a  security  concern  in  some
          cases.

   Pillar Encryption
       Salt's renderer system can be used to decrypt pillar data. This allows for pillar items to
       be stored in an encrypted state, and decrypted during pillar compilation.

   Encrypted Pillar SLS
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Consider the following pillar SLS file:

          secrets:
            vault:
              foo: |

       When the pillar data is compiled, the results will be decrypted:

          # salt myminion pillar.items

              secrets:

                          - foo
                          - bar
                          - baz

       Salt must be told what portions of the pillar data to decrypt.  This  is  done  using  the
       decrypt_pillar config option:

          decrypt_pillar:
            - 'secrets:vault': gpg

       The  notation  used  to  specify the pillar item(s) to be decrypted is the same as the one
       used in pillar.get function.

       If a different delimiter is needed, it can be specified using the decrypt_pillar_delimiter
       config option:

          decrypt_pillar:
            - 'secrets|vault': gpg

          decrypt_pillar_delimiter: '|'

       The  name of the renderer used to decrypt a given pillar item can be omitted, and if so it
       will fall back to the value specified by the decrypt_pillar_default config  option,  which
       defaults to gpg.  So, the first example above could be rewritten as:

          decrypt_pillar:
            - 'secrets:vault'

   Encrypted Pillar Data on the CLI
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       The following functions support passing pillar data on the CLI via the pillar argument:

       • pillar.itemsstate.applystate.highstatestate.sls

       Triggerring decryption of this CLI pillar data can be done in one of two ways:

       1. Using the pillar_enc argument:

             # salt myminion pillar.items pillar_enc=gpg pillar='{foo: "-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----\n\nhQEMAw2B674HRhwSAQf+OvPqEdDoA2fk15I5dYUTDoj1yf/pVolAma6iU4v8Zixn\nRDgWsaAnFz99FEiFACsAGDEFdZaVOxG80T0Lj+PnW4pVy0OXmXHnY2KjV9zx8FLS\nQxfvmhRR4t23WSFybozfMm0lsN8r1vfBBjbK+A72l0oxN78d1rybJ6PWNZiXi+aC\nmqIeunIbAKQ21w/OvZHhxH7cnIiGQIHc7N9nQH7ibyoKQzQMSZeilSMGr2abAHun\nmLzscr4wKMb+81Z0/fdBfP6g3bLWMJga3hSzSldU9ovu7KR8rDJI1qOlENj3Wm8C\nwTpDOB33kWIKMqiAjY3JFtb5MCHrafyggwQL7cX1+tI+AbSO6kZpbcDfzetb77LZ\nxc5NWnnGK4pGoqq4MAmZshw98RpecSHKMosto2gtiuWCuo9Zn5cV/FbjZ9CTWrQ=\n=0hO/\n-----END PGP MESSAGE-----"}'

          The newlines in this example are specified using a literal \n. Newlines can be replaced
          with a literal \n using sed:

             $ echo -n bar | gpg --armor --trust-model always --encrypt -r user@domain.tld | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/\\n/g'

          NOTE:
             Using pillar_enc will perform the decryption minion-side, so for  this  to  work  it
             will  be  necessary to set up the keyring in /etc/salt/gpgkeys on the minion just as
             one would typically do on the master. The easiest way to do this is to first  export
             the keys from the master:

                 # gpg --homedir /etc/salt/gpgkeys --export-secret-key -a user@domain.tld >/tmp/keypair.gpg

             Then, copy the file to the minion, setup the keyring, and import:

                 # mkdir -p /etc/salt/gpgkeys
                 # chmod 0700 /etc/salt/gpgkeys
                 # gpg --homedir /etc/salt/gpgkeys --list-keys
                 # gpg --homedir /etc/salt/gpgkeys --import --allow-secret-key-import keypair.gpg

             The --list-keys command is run create a keyring in the newly-created directory.

          Pillar  data  which  is decrypted minion-side will still be securely transferred to the
          master, since the data sent between minion and master is encrypted  with  the  master's
          public key.

       2. Use  the  decrypt_pillar option. This is less flexible in that the pillar key passed on
          the CLI must be pre-configured on the master, but it doesn't require a  keyring  to  be
          setup  on  the minion. One other caveat to this method is that pillar decryption on the
          master happens at the end of pillar compilation, so if the encrypted pillar data  being
          passed  on  the  CLI  needs  to  be  referenced  by  pillar or ext_pillar during pillar
          compilation, it must be decrypted minion-side.

   Adding New Renderers for Decryption
       Those looking to add new renderers for decryption should look at the gpg renderer  for  an
       example of how to do so. The function that performs the decryption should be recursive and
       be able to traverse a mutable type such as a dictionary, and modify the values in-place.

       Once the renderer has been written, decrypt_pillar_renderers should be  modified  so  that
       Salt allows it to be used for decryption.

       If  the  renderer  is being submitted upstream to the Salt project, the renderer should be
       added in salt/renderers/. Additionally, the following should be done:

       • Both  occurrences  of  decrypt_pillar_renderers  in  salt/config/__init__.py  should  be
         updated  to  include  the name of the new renderer so that it is included in the default
         value for this config option.

       • The documentation for the decrypt_pillar_renderers config option in  the  master  config
         file and minion config file should be updated to show the correct new default value.

       • The  commented  example  for  the  decrypt_pillar_renderers  config option in the master
         config template should be updated to show the correct new default value.

   Binary Data in the Pillar
       Salt has partial support for binary pillar data.

       NOTE:
          There are some situations (such as salt-ssh) where only  text  (ASCII  or  Unicode)  is
          allowed.

       The  simplest  way  to  embed binary data in your pillar is to make use of YAML's built-in
       binary data type, which requires base64 encoded data.

          salt_pic: !!binary
              iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAMAAAC67D+PAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAACBjSFJNAA

       Then you can use it as a contents_pillar in a state:

          /tmp/salt.png:
            file.managed:
              - contents_pillar: salt_pic

       It is also possible to add ASCII-armored encrypted data to pillars, as  mentioned  in  the
       Pillar Encryption section.

   Master Config in Pillar
       For  convenience the data stored in the master configuration file can be made available in
       all minion's pillars. This makes global configuration of services and  systems  very  easy
       but  may  not  be  desired  if  sensitive data is stored in the master configuration. This
       option is disabled by default.

       To enable the master config from being added to the pillar set pillar_opts to True in  the
       minion config file:

          pillar_opts: True

   Minion Config in Pillar
       Minion  configuration  options  can be set on pillars. Any option that you want to modify,
       should be in the first level of the pillars, in the same way you set the  options  in  the
       config  file.  For  example, to configure the MySQL root password to be used by MySQL Salt
       execution module, set the following pillar variable:

          mysql.pass: hardtoguesspassword

   Master Provided Pillar Error
       By default if there is an error rendering a pillar,  the  detailed  error  is  hidden  and
       replaced with:

          Rendering SLS 'my.sls' failed. Please see master log for details.

       The  error  is protected because it's possible to contain templating data which would give
       that minion information it shouldn't know, like a password!

       To have the master provide the detailed error that could potentially carry protected  data
       set pillar_safe_render_error to False:

          pillar_safe_render_error: False

   Pillar Walkthrough
       NOTE:
          This  walkthrough  assumes  that  the  reader  has  already  completed the initial Salt
          walkthrough.

       Pillars are tree-like structures of data defined on the Salt Master and passed through  to
       minions.  They  allow confidential, targeted data to be securely sent only to the relevant
       minion.

       NOTE:
          Grains and Pillar are sometimes confused, just remember that Grains are  data  about  a
          minion  which is stored or generated from the minion.  This is why information like the
          OS and CPU type are found in Grains.  Pillar is information  about  a  minion  or  many
          minions stored or generated on the Salt Master.

       Pillar data is useful for:

       Highly Sensitive Data:
              Information  transferred  via  pillar  is  guaranteed  to  only be presented to the
              minions  that  are  targeted,  making  Pillar  suitable   for   managing   security
              information, such as cryptographic keys and passwords.

       Minion Configuration:
              Minion  modules  such  as the execution modules, states, and returners can often be
              configured via data stored in pillar.

       Variables:
              Variables which need to be assigned to specific minions or groups of minions can be
              defined in pillar and then accessed inside sls formulas and template files.

       Arbitrary Data:
              Pillar  can  contain  any basic data structure in dictionary format, so a key/value
              store can be defined making it easy to iterate  over  a  group  of  values  in  sls
              formulas.

       Pillar is therefore one of the most important systems when using Salt. This walkthrough is
       designed to get a simple Pillar up and running in a few minutes and then to dive into  the
       capabilities of Pillar and where the data is available.

   Setting Up Pillar
       The pillar is already running in Salt by default. To see the minion's pillar data:

          salt '*' pillar.items

       NOTE:
          Prior  to  version  0.16.2,  this  function is named pillar.data. This function name is
          still supported for backwards compatibility.

       By default, the contents of the master configuration file are not loaded into  pillar  for
       all minions. This default is stored in the pillar_opts setting, which defaults to False.

       The  contents  of  the  master  configuration  file can be made available to minion pillar
       files. This makes global configuration of services and systems very easy,  but  note  that
       this  may  not  be  desired  or  appropriate  if  sensitive data is stored in the master's
       configuration file. To enable the master configuration file to be available to  minion  as
       pillar,  set  pillar_opts: True in the master configuration file, and then for appropriate
       minions also set pillar_opts: True in the minion(s) configuration file.

       Similar to the state tree, the pillar is comprised of sls files and has a top  file.   The
       default location for the pillar is in /srv/pillar.

       NOTE:
          The  pillar  location  can  be configured via the pillar_roots option inside the master
          configuration file. It must not be in a subdirectory of the state tree  or  file_roots.
          If the pillar is under file_roots, any pillar targeting can be bypassed by minions.

       To start setting up the pillar, the /srv/pillar directory needs to be present:

          mkdir /srv/pillar

       Now create a simple top file, following the same format as the top file used for states:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - data

       This  top  file  associates the data.sls file to all minions. Now the /srv/pillar/data.sls
       file needs to be populated:

       /srv/pillar/data.sls:

          info: some data

       To ensure that the minions have the new pillar data, issue a command to them  asking  that
       they fetch their pillars from the master:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       Now that the minions have the new pillar, it can be retrieved:

          salt '*' pillar.items

       The key info should now appear in the returned pillar data.

   More Complex Data
       Unlike  states,  pillar  files  do not need to define formulas.  This example sets up user
       data with a UID:

       /srv/pillar/users/init.sls:

          users:
            thatch: 1000
            shouse: 1001
            utahdave: 1002
            redbeard: 1003

       NOTE:
          The same directory  lookups  that  exist  in  states  exist  in  pillar,  so  the  file
          users/init.sls can be referenced with users in the top file.

       The top file will need to be updated to include this sls file:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - data
              - users

       Now  the data will be available to the minions. To use the pillar data in a state, you can
       use Jinja:

       /srv/salt/users/init.sls

          {% for user, uid in pillar.get('users', {}).items() %}
          {{user}}:
            user.present:
              - uid: {{uid}}
          {% endfor %}

       This approach allows for users to be safely defined in a pillar and then the user data  is
       applied in an sls file.

   Parameterizing States With Pillar
       Pillar  data  can  be  accessed  in state files to customise behavior for each minion. All
       pillar (and grain) data applicable to each minion is  substituted  into  the  state  files
       through  templating before being run. Typical uses include setting directories appropriate
       for the minion and skipping states that don't apply.

       A simple example is to set up a mapping of package names  in  pillar  for  separate  Linux
       distributions:

       /srv/pillar/pkg/init.sls:

          pkgs:
            {% if grains['os_family'] == 'RedHat' %}
            apache: httpd
            vim: vim-enhanced
            {% elif grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}
            apache: apache2
            vim: vim
            {% elif grains['os'] == 'Arch' %}
            apache: apache
            vim: vim
            {% endif %}

       The new pkg sls needs to be added to the top file:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - data
              - users
              - pkg

       Now  the  minions will auto map values based on respective operating systems inside of the
       pillar, so sls files can be safely parameterized:

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['pkgs']['apache'] }}

       Or, if no pillar is available a default can be set as well:

       NOTE:
          The function pillar.get used in this example was added to Salt in version 0.14.0

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('pkgs:apache', 'httpd') }}

       In the above example, if the pillar value  pillar['pkgs']['apache']  is  not  set  in  the
       minion's pillar, then the default of httpd will be used.

       NOTE:
          Under  the  hood,  pillar is just a Python dict, so Python dict methods such as get and
          items can be used.

   Pillar Makes Simple States Grow Easily
       One of the design goals of pillar is to make simple sls formulas  easily  grow  into  more
       flexible formulas without refactoring or complicating the states.

       A simple formula:

       /srv/salt/edit/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed: []

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://edit/vimrc
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - require:
                - pkg: vim

       Can be easily transformed into a powerful, parameterized formula:

       /srv/salt/edit/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pillar['pkgs']['vim'] }}

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: {{ pillar['vimrc'] }}
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - require:
                - pkg: vim

       Where the vimrc source location can now be changed via pillar:

       /srv/pillar/edit/vim.sls:

          {% if grains['id'].startswith('dev') %}
          vimrc: salt://edit/dev_vimrc
          {% elif grains['id'].startswith('qa') %}
          vimrc: salt://edit/qa_vimrc
          {% else %}
          vimrc: salt://edit/vimrc
          {% endif %}

       Ensuring that the right vimrc is sent out to the correct minions.

       The pillar top file must include a reference to the new sls pillar file:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - pkg
              - edit.vim

   Setting Pillar Data on the Command Line
       Pillar    data   can   be   set   on   the   command   line   when   running   state.apply
       <salt.modules.state.apply_() like so:

          salt '*' state.apply pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'
          salt '*' state.apply my_sls_file pillar='{"hello": "world"}'

       Nested pillar values can also be set via the command line:

          salt '*' state.sls my_sls_file pillar='{"foo": {"bar": "baz"}}'

       Lists can be passed via command line pillar data as follows:

          salt '*' state.sls my_sls_file pillar='{"some_list": ["foo", "bar", "baz"]}'

       NOTE:
          If a key is passed on the command line that already exists on the minion, the key  that
          is  passed in will overwrite the entire value of that key, rather than merging only the
          specified value set via the command line.

       The example below will swap the value for vim with  telnet  in  the  previously  specified
       list, notice the nested pillar dict:

          salt '*' state.apply edit.vim pillar='{"pkgs": {"vim": "telnet"}}'

       This will attempt to install telnet on your minions, feel free to uninstall the package or
       replace telnet value with anything else.

       NOTE:
          Be aware that when sending sensitive data via  pillar  on  the  command-line  that  the
          publication  containing  that  data  will  be  received  by all minions and will not be
          restricted to the targeted minions. This may  represent  a  security  concern  in  some
          cases.

   More On Pillar
       Pillar  data  is generated on the Salt master and securely distributed to minions. Salt is
       not restricted to the pillar sls files when defining the pillar but can retrieve data from
       external sources. This can be useful when information about an infrastructure is stored in
       a separate location.

       Reference information on pillar and the external pillar interface can be found in the Salt
       documentation:

       Pillar

   Minion Config in Pillar
       Minion  configuration  options  can be set on pillars. Any option that you want to modify,
       should be in the first level of the pillars, in the same way you set the  options  in  the
       config  file.  For  example, to configure the MySQL root password to be used by MySQL Salt
       execution module:

          mysql.pass: hardtoguesspassword

       This is very convenient when you need some dynamic configuration change that you  want  to
       be applied on the fly. For example, there is a chicken and the egg problem if you do this:

          mysql-admin-passwd:
            mysql_user.present:
              - name: root
              - password: somepasswd

          mydb:
            mysql_db.present

       The  second  state  will fail, because you changed the root password and the minion didn't
       notice it. Setting mysql.pass in the pillar, will help to sort out the issue.  But  always
       change the root admin password in the first place.

       This  is very helpful for any module that needs credentials to apply state changes: mysql,
       keystone, etc.

   Targeting Minions
       Targeting minions is specifying which minions should run a command or execute a  state  by
       matching against hostnames, or system information, or defined groups, or even combinations
       thereof.

       For example the command salt web1 apache.signal restart to restart the Apache httpd server
       specifies  the  machine  web1  as  the target and the command will only be run on that one
       minion.

       Similarly when using States, the following top file specifies that only  the  web1  minion
       should execute the contents of webserver.sls:

          base:
            'web1':
              - webserver

       The simple target specifications, glob, regex, and list will cover many use cases, and for
       some will cover all use cases, but more powerful options exist.

   Targeting with Grains
       The Grains interface was built into Salt  to  allow  minions  to  be  targeted  by  system
       properties. So minions running on a particular operating system can be called to execute a
       function, or a specific kernel.

       Calling via a grain is done by passing the -G option to salt, specifying  a  grain  and  a
       glob  expression  to  match the value of the grain. The syntax for the target is the grain
       key followed by a glob expression: "os:Arch*".

          salt -G 'os:Fedora' test.version

       Will return True from all of the minions running Fedora.

       To discover what grains are available and what the values  are,  execute  the  grains.item
       salt function:

          salt '*' grains.items

       More info on using targeting with grains can be found here.

   Compound Targeting
       New in version 0.9.5.

       Multiple  target  interfaces  can be used in conjunction to determine the command targets.
       These targets can then be combined using and or or statements.  This is well defined  with
       an example:

          salt -C 'G@os:Debian and webser* or E@db.*' test.version

       In  this  example  any  minion  who's  id starts with webser and is running Debian, or any
       minion who's id starts with db will be matched.

       The type of matcher defaults to glob, but can be specified with the  corresponding  letter
       followed  by  the  @  symbol.  In  the  above example a grain is used with G@ as well as a
       regular expression with E@. The webser* target does not need to be prefaced with a  target
       type specifier because it is a glob.

       More info on using compound targeting can be found here.

   Node Group Targeting
       New in version 0.9.5.

       For  certain cases, it can be convenient to have a predefined group of minions on which to
       execute commands. This can be accomplished using what are  called  nodegroups.  Nodegroups
       allow  for predefined compound targets to be declared in the master configuration file, as
       a sort of shorthand for having to type out complicated compound expressions.

          nodegroups:
            group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com and bl*.domain.com'
            group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'
            group3: 'G@os:Debian and N@group1'

   Advanced Targeting Methods
       There are many ways to target individual minions or groups of minions in Salt:

   Matching the minion id
       Each minion needs a unique identifier. By default when a minion starts for the first  time
       it  chooses  its FQDN as that identifier. The minion id can be overridden via the minion's
       id configuration setting.

       TIP:
          minion id and minion keys

          The minion id is used to generate the minion's  public/private  keys  and  if  it  ever
          changes the master must then accept the new key as though the minion was a new host.

   Globbing
       The default matching that Salt utilizes is shell-style globbing around the minion id. This
       also works for states in the top file.

       NOTE:
          You must wrap salt calls that use globbing in single-quotes to prevent the  shell  from
          expanding the globs before Salt is invoked.

       Match all minions:

          salt '*' test.version

       Match all minions in the example.net domain or any of the example domains:

          salt '*.example.net' test.version
          salt '*.example.*' test.version

       Match all the webN minions in the example.net domain (web1.example.net, web2.example.netwebN.example.net):

          salt 'web?.example.net' test.version

       Match the web1 through web5 minions:

          salt 'web[1-5]' test.version

       Match the web1 and web3 minions:

          salt 'web[1,3]' test.version

       Match the web-x, web-y, and web-z minions:

          salt 'web-[x-z]' test.version

       NOTE:
          For additional targeting methods please review the compound matchers documentation.

   Regular Expressions
       Minions can be matched using Perl-compatible regular expressions  (which  is  globbing  on
       steroids and a ton of caffeine).

       Match both web1-prod and web1-devel minions:

          salt -E 'web1-(prod|devel)' test.version

       When  using regular expressions in a State's top file, you must specify the matcher as the
       first option. The  following  example  executes  the  contents  of  webserver.sls  on  the
       above-mentioned minions.

          base:
            'web1-(prod|devel)':
            - match: pcre
            - webserver

   Lists
       At the most basic level, you can specify a flat list of minion IDs:

          salt -L 'web1,web2,web3' test.version

   Targeting using Grains
       Grain data can be used when targeting minions.

       For example, the following matches all CentOS minions:

          salt -G 'os:CentOS' test.version

       Match  all  minions  with  64-bit  CPUs,  and return number of CPU cores for each matching
       minion:

          salt -G 'cpuarch:x86_64' grains.item num_cpus

       Additionally, globs can be used in  grain  matches,  and  grains  that  are  nested  in  a
       dictionary  can  be  matched  by  adding  a  colon  for each level that is traversed.  For
       example, the following will match hosts that have a grain called ec2_tags, which itself is
       a  dictionary  with  a  key  named  environment,  which has a value that contains the word
       production:

          salt -G 'ec2_tags:environment:*production*'

       IMPORTANT:
          See Is Targeting using Grain Data Secure? for important security information.

   Targeting using Pillar
       Pillar data can be used when targeting minions.  This  allows  for  ultimate  control  and
       flexibility when targeting minions.

       NOTE:
          To  start  using  Pillar  targeting  it is required to make a Pillar data cache on Salt
          Master for each Minion via following commands: salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar or salt
          '*'  saltutil.sync_all.   Also Pillar data cache will be populated during the highstate
          run. Once Pillar data changes, you must refresh the cache by running above commands for
          this targeting method to work correctly.

       Example:

          salt -I 'somekey:specialvalue' test.version

       Like with Grains, it is possible to use globbing as well as match nested values in Pillar,
       by adding colons for each level that is being traversed. The  below  example  would  match
       minions  with  a  pillar  named  foo,  which  is a dict containing a key bar, with a value
       beginning with baz:

          salt -I 'foo:bar:baz*' test.version

   Subnet/IP Address Matching
       Minions can easily be matched based on IP address, or by subnet (using CIDR notation).

          salt -S 192.168.40.20 test.version
          salt -S 2001:db8::/64 test.version

       Ipcidr matching can also be used in compound matches

          salt -C 'S@10.0.0.0/24 and G@os:Debian' test.version

       It is also possible to use in both pillar and state-matching

          '172.16.0.0/12':
             - match: ipcidr
             - internal

   Compound matchers
       Compound matchers allow very granular minion targeting using any of Salt's  matchers.  The
       default  matcher  is  a glob match, just as with CLI and top file matching. To match using
       anything other than a glob, prefix the match string with the appropriate letter  from  the
       table below, followed by an @ sign.

       Matchers can be joined using boolean and, or, and not operators.

       For  example,  the following string matches all Debian minions with a hostname that begins
       with webserv, as well as any minions that  have  a  hostname  which  matches  the  regular
       expression web-dc1-srv.*:

          salt -C 'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@web-dc1-srv.*' test.version

       That same example expressed in a top file looks like the following:

          base:
            'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@web-dc1-srv.*':
              - match: compound
              - webserver

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Excluding a minion based on its ID is also possible:

          salt -C 'not web-dc1-srv' test.version

       Versions  prior  to 2015.8.0 a leading not was not supported in compound matches. Instead,
       something like the following was required:

          salt -C '* and not G@kernel:Darwin' test.version

       Excluding a minion based on its ID was also possible:

          salt -C '* and not web-dc1-srv' test.version

   Precedence Matching
       Matchers can be grouped together with parentheses to explicitly declare precedence amongst
       groups.

          salt -C '( ms-1 or G@id:ms-3 ) and G@id:ms-3' test.version

       NOTE:
          Be  certain  to  note  that  spaces  are  required between the parentheses and targets.
          Failing to obey this rule may result in incorrect targeting!

   Alternate Delimiters
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Matchers that target based on a key value pair use a colon (:) as  a  delimiter.  Matchers
       with  a  Yes  in  the  Alt  Delimiters  column in the previous table support specifying an
       alternate delimiter character.

       This is done by specifying an alternate delimiter character between  the  leading  matcher
       character  and  the @ pattern separator character. This avoids incorrect interpretation of
       the pattern in the case that : is part of the grain or pillar data structure traversal.

          salt -C 'J|@foo|bar|^foo:bar$ or J!@gitrepo!https://github.com:example/project.git' test.ping

   Node groups
       Nodegroups are declared  using  a  compound  target  specification.  The  compound  target
       documentation can be found here.

       The  nodegroups  master  config  file  parameter  is  used to define nodegroups. Here's an
       example nodegroup configuration within /etc/salt/master:

          nodegroups:
            group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com or bl*.domain.com'
            group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'
            group3: 'G@os:Debian and N@group1'
            group4:
              - 'G@foo:bar'
              - 'or'
              - 'G@foo:baz'

       NOTE:
          The L within group1 is matching a list of minions, while the G in  group2  is  matching
          specific grains. See the compound matchers documentation for more details.

          As of the 2017.7.0 release of Salt, group names can also be prepended with a dash. This
          brings the usage in line with many other areas of Salt. For example:

              nodegroups:
                - group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com or bl*.domain.com'

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       NOTE:
          Nodegroups can reference other nodegroups as seen in group3.  Ensure that  you  do  not
          have  circular  references.   Circular  references  will  be detected and cause partial
          expansion with a logged error message.

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Compound nodegroups can be either string values or  lists  of  string  values.   When  the
       nodegroup  is  A string value will be tokenized by splitting on whitespace.  This may be a
       problem if whitespace is necessary as part of a pattern.  When a nodegroup is  a  list  of
       strings then tokenization will happen for each list element as a whole.

       To match a nodegroup on the CLI, use the -N command-line option:

          salt -N group1 test.version

       New in version 2019.2.0.

       NOTE:
          The  N@ classifier historically could not be used in compound matches within the CLI or
          top file, it was only recognized in the nodegroups master config file parameter. As  of
          the 2019.2.0 release, this limitation no longer exists.

       To  match  a  nodegroup  in your top file, make sure to put - match: nodegroup on the line
       directly following the nodegroup name.

          base:
            group1:
              - match: nodegroup
              - webserver

       NOTE:
          When adding or modifying nodegroups to a master configuration file, the master must  be
          restarted for those changes to be fully recognized.

          A  limited amount of functionality, such as targeting with -N from the command-line may
          be available without a restart.

   Defining Nodegroups as Lists of Minion IDs
       A simple list of minion IDs would traditionally be defined like this:

          nodegroups:
            group1: L@host1,host2,host3

       They can now also be defined as a YAML list, like this:

          nodegroups:
            group1:
              - host1
              - host2
              - host3

       New in version 2016.11.0.

   Batch Size
       The -b (or --batch-size) option allows commands to be executed on only a specified  number
       of minions at a time. Both percentages and finite numbers are supported.

          salt '*' -b 10 test.version

          salt -G 'os:RedHat' --batch-size 25% apache.signal restart

       This  will  only run test.version on 10 of the targeted minions at a time and then restart
       apache on 25% of the minions matching os:RedHat at a time and work through them all  until
       the  task  is  complete.  This  makes  jobs like rolling web server restarts behind a load
       balancer or doing maintenance on BSD firewalls using carp much easier with salt.

       The batch system maintains a window of running minions, so, if there are a  total  of  150
       minions  targeted  and  the batch size is 10, then the command is sent to 10 minions, when
       one minion returns then the command is sent to one additional minion, so that the  job  is
       constantly running on 10 minions.

       New in version 2016.3.

       The  --batch-wait  argument  can  be  used  to specify a number of seconds to wait after a
       minion returns, before sending the command to a new minion.

   SECO Range
       SECO range is a cluster-based metadata store developed and maintained by Yahoo!

       The Range project is hosted here:

       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range

       Learn more about range here:

       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range/wiki/

   Prerequisites
       To utilize range support in Salt, a range server is required. Setting up a range server is
       outside the scope of this document. Apache modules are included in the range distribution.

       With  a  working  range  server, cluster files must be defined. These files are written in
       YAML and define hosts contained inside a cluster. Full documentation on writing YAML range
       files is here:

       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range/wiki/%22yamlfile%22-module-file-spec

       Additionally,  the  Python  seco range libraries must be installed on the salt master. One
       can verify that they have been installed correctly via the following command:

          python -c 'import seco.range'

       If no errors are returned, range is installed successfully on the salt master.

   Preparing Salt
       Range support must be enabled on the salt master by setting the hostname and port  of  the
       range server inside the master configuration file:

          range_server: my.range.server.com:80

       Following this, the master must be restarted for the change to have an effect.

   Targeting with Range
       Once a cluster has been defined, it can be targeted with a salt command by using the -R or
       --range flags.

       For example, given the following range YAML file being served from a range server:

          $ cat /etc/range/test.yaml
          CLUSTER: host1..100.test.com
          APPS:
            - frontend
            - backend
            - mysql

       One might target host1 through host100 in the test.com domain with Salt as follows:

          salt --range %test:CLUSTER test.version

       The following salt command would target three hosts: frontend, backend, and mysql:

          salt --range %test:APPS test.version

   Loadable Matchers
       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Internally targeting is implemented with chunks  of  code  called  Matchers.   As  of  the
       2019.2.0  release,  matchers  can be loaded dynamically.  Currently new matchers cannot be
       created, but existing matchers can have their functionality altered or extended.  For more
       information on Matchers see

   Matchers
       New in version 3000.

       Matchers  are  modules  that  provide Salt's targeting abilities.  As of the 3000 release,
       matchers can be dynamically loaded.  Currently new matchers cannot be created because  the
       required  plumbing  for  the  CLI  does  not  exist yet.  Existing matchers may have their
       functionality altered or extended.

       For details of targeting methods, see the Targeting topic.

       A matcher module must have a function called match(). This function  ends  up  becoming  a
       method  on  the Matcher class.  All matcher functions require at least two arguments, self
       (because the function will be turned into a method), and tgt, which is the  actual  target
       string.   The grains and pillar matchers also take a delimiter argument and should default
       to DEFAULT_TARGET_DELIM.

       Like other Salt loadable modules, modules that  override  built-in  functionality  can  be
       placed  in  file_roots  in  a  special directory and then copied to the minion through the
       normal sync process.  saltutil.sync_all will transfer all loadable modules, and  the  3000
       release    introduces    saltutil.sync_matchers.    For   matchers,   the   directory   is
       /srv/salt/_matchers (assuming your file_roots is set to the default /srv/salt).

       As an example, let's modify the list matcher to have the separator be a '/' instead of the
       default ','.

          from __future__ import absolute_import, print_function, unicode_literals
          from salt.ext import six  # pylint: disable=3rd-party-module-not-gated

          def match(self, tgt):
              """
              Determines if this host is on the list
              """
              if isinstance(tgt, six.string_types):
                  # The stock matcher splits on `,`.  Change to `/` below.
                  tgt = tgt.split("/")
              return bool(self.opts["id"] in tgt)

       Place  this  code  in  a file called list_matcher.py in _matchers in your file_roots. Sync
       this down to your minions with saltutil.sync_matchers.  Then attempt  to  match  with  the
       following, replacing minionX with three of your minions.

          salt -L 'minion1/minion2/minion3' test.ping

       Three of your minions should respond.

       The current supported matchers and associated filenames are

   The Salt Mine
       The  Salt  Mine is used to collect arbitrary data from Minions and store it on the Master.
       This data is then made available to all Minions via the salt.modules.mine module.

       Mine data is gathered on the Minion and sent back to the Master where only the most recent
       data  is  maintained  (if  long  term  data  is required use returners or the external job
       cache).

   Mine vs Grains
       Mine data is designed to be much more up-to-date than grain data. Grains are refreshed  on
       a  very limited basis and are largely static data. Mines are designed to replace slow peer
       publishing calls when Minions need data from other Minions. Rather than  having  a  Minion
       reach  out  to  all  the  other Minions for a piece of data, the Salt Mine, running on the
       Master, can collect it from all the Minions every Mine Interval, resulting in almost fresh
       data at any given time, with much less overhead.

   Mine Functions
       To  enable  the  Salt Mine the mine_functions option needs to be applied to a Minion. This
       option can be applied via the Minion's configuration file, or  the  Minion's  Pillar.  The
       mine_functions  option dictates what functions are being executed and allows for arguments
       to be passed in.  The list of functions are available in the salt.module.  If no arguments
       are  passed,  an  empty  list  must be added like in the test.ping function in the example
       below:

          mine_functions:
            test.ping: []
            network.ip_addrs:
              interface: eth0
              cidr: 10.0.0.0/8

       In the example above salt.modules.network.ip_addrs has additional filters to  help  narrow
       down  the  results.   In the above example IP addresses are only returned if they are on a
       eth0 interface and in the 10.0.0.0/8 IP range.

       Changed in version 3000.

       The format to define mine_functions has been changed to allow the same format as used  for
       module.run. The old format (above) will still be supported.

          mine_functions:
            test.ping: []
            network.ip_addrs:
              - interface: eth0
              - cidr: 10.0.0.0/8
            test.arg:
              - isn't
              - this
              - fun
              - this: that
              - salt: stack

   Minion-side Access Control
       New in version 3000.

       Mine  functions  can  be  targeted to only be available to specific minions. This uses the
       same targeting parameters as targeting but with  keywords  allow_tgt  and  allow_tgt_type.
       When  a  minion requests a function from the salt mine that is not allowed to be requested
       by that minion (i.e. when looking up the combination of allow_tgt and  allow_tgt_type  and
       the  requesting  minion  is not in the list) it will get no data, just as if the requested
       function is not present in the salt mine.

          mine_functions:
            network.ip_addrs:
              - interface: eth0
              - cidr: 10.0.0.0/8
              - allow_tgt: 'G@role:master'
              - allow_tgt_type: 'compound'

   Mine Functions Aliases
       Function aliases can be used to provide friendly  names,  usage  intentions  or  to  allow
       multiple  calls of the same function with different arguments. There is a different syntax
       for passing positional and key-value arguments. Mixing positional and key-value  arguments
       is not supported.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

          mine_functions:
            network.ip_addrs: [eth0]
            networkplus.internal_ip_addrs: []
            internal_ip_addrs:
              mine_function: network.ip_addrs
              cidr: 192.168.0.0/16
            ip_list:
              - mine_function: grains.get
              - ip_interfaces

       Changed in version 3000.

       With the addition of the module.run-like format for defining mine_functions, the method of
       adding aliases remains similar. Just add a mine_function kwarg with the name of  the  real
       function to call, making the key below mine_functions the alias:

          mine_functions:
            alias_name:
              - mine_function: network.ip_addrs
              - eth0
            internal_ip_addrs:
              - mine_function: network.ip_addrs
              - cidr: 192.168.0.0/16
            ip_list:
              - mine_function: grains.get
              - ip_interfaces

   Mine Interval
       The Salt Mine functions are executed when the Minion starts and at a given interval by the
       scheduler. The default interval is every 60 minutes and can be adjusted for the Minion via
       the mine_interval option in the minion config:

          mine_interval: 60

   Mine in Salt-SSH
       As of the 2015.5.0 release of salt, salt-ssh supports mine.get.

       Because the Minions cannot provide their own mine_functions configuration, we retrieve the
       args for specified mine functions in one of three places, searched in the following order:

       1. Roster data

       2. Pillar

       3. Master config

       The mine_functions are formatted exactly the same as in normal  salt,  just  stored  in  a
       different location. Here is an example of a flat roster containing mine_functions:

          test:
            host: 104.237.131.248
            user: root
            mine_functions:
              cmd.run: ['echo "hello!"']
              network.ip_addrs:
                interface: eth0

       NOTE:
          Because of the differences in the architecture of salt-ssh, mine.get calls are somewhat
          inefficient. Salt must make a new salt-ssh call to each of the Minions in  question  to
          retrieve the requested data, much like a publish call. However, unlike publish, it must
          run the requested function as a wrapper function, so we can retrieve the function  args
          from  the  pillar  of  the  Minion  in question. This results in a non-trivial delay in
          retrieving the requested data.

   Minions Targeting with Mine
       The mine.get function supports various methods of Minions targeting  to  fetch  Mine  data
       from  particular  hosts,  such as glob or regular expression matching on Minion id (name),
       grains, pillars and compound matches. See the salt.modules.mine module  documentation  for
       the reference.

       NOTE:
          Pillar  data  needs to be cached on Master for pillar targeting to work with Mine. Read
          the note in relevant section.

   Example
       One way to use data from Salt Mine is in a State. The values can be  retrieved  via  Jinja
       and  used  in  the SLS file. The following example is a partial HAProxy configuration file
       and pulls IP addresses from all Minions with the "web" grain to add them to  the  pool  of
       load balanced servers.

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            'G@roles:web':
              - web

       /srv/pillar/web.sls:

          mine_functions:
            network.ip_addrs: [eth0]

       Then trigger the minions to refresh their pillar data by running:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       Verify  that  the  results  are  showing  up in the pillar on the minions by executing the
       following and checking for network.ip_addrs in the output:

          salt '*' pillar.items

       Which should show that the function is present on the minion, but not include the output:

          minion1.example.com:
              ----------
              mine_functions:
                  ----------
                  network.ip_addrs:
                      - eth0

       Mine data is typically only updated on the master every 60 minutes, this can  be  modified
       by setting:

       /etc/salt/minion.d/mine.conf:

          mine_interval: 5

       To force the mine data to update immediately run:

          salt '*' mine.update

       Setup the salt.states.file.managed state in /srv/salt/haproxy.sls:

          haproxy_config:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/haproxy/config
              - source: salt://haproxy_config
              - template: jinja

       Create the Jinja template in /srv/salt/haproxy_config:

          <...file contents snipped...>

          {% for server, addrs in salt['mine.get']('roles:web', 'network.ip_addrs', tgt_type='grain') | dictsort() %}
          server {{ server }} {{ addrs[0] }}:80 check
          {% endfor %}

          <...file contents snipped...>

       In the above example, server will be expanded to the minion_id.

       NOTE:
          The expr_form argument will be renamed to tgt_type in the 2017.7.0 release of Salt.

   Runners
       Salt runners are convenience applications executed with the salt-run command.

       Salt  runners  work  similarly  to Salt execution modules however they execute on the Salt
       master itself instead of remote Salt minions.

       A Salt runner can be a simple client call or a complex application.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of runners

   Writing Salt Runners
       A Salt runner is written in a similar manner to a Salt execution module.  Both are  Python
       modules which contain functions and each public function is a runner which may be executed
       via the salt-run command.

       For example, if a Python module named test.py is created  in  the  runners  directory  and
       contains  a  function  called  foo,  the  test  runner could be invoked with the following
       command:

          # salt-run test.foo

       Runners have several options for controlling output.

       Any print statement in a runner is automatically also fired  onto  the  master  event  bus
       where. For example:

          def a_runner(outputter=None, display_progress=False):
              print("Hello world")
              ...

       The above would result in an event fired as follows:

          Event fired at Tue Jan 13 15:26:45 2015
          *************************
          Tag: salt/run/20150113152644070246/print
          Data:
          {'_stamp': '2015-01-13T15:26:45.078707',
           'data': 'hello',
            'outputter': 'pprint'}

       A  runner  may  also  send  a progress event, which is displayed to the user during runner
       execution and is also passed across the event bus if the display_progress  argument  to  a
       runner is set to True.

       A  custom  runner  may  send its own progress event by using the __jid_event_.fire_event()
       method as shown here:

          if display_progress:
              __jid_event__.fire_event({"message": "A progress message"}, "progress")

       The above would produce output on the console reading: A progress message as  well  as  an
       event on the event similar to:

          Event fired at Tue Jan 13 15:21:20 2015
          *************************
          Tag: salt/run/20150113152118341421/progress
          Data:
          {'_stamp': '2015-01-13T15:21:20.390053',
           'message': "A progress message"}

       A runner could use the same approach to send an event with a customized tag onto the event
       bus by replacing the second argument (progress) with whatever  tag  is  desired.  However,
       this will not be shown on the command-line and will only be fired onto the event bus.

   Synchronous vs. Asynchronous
       A  runner may be fired asynchronously which will immediately return control. In this case,
       no output will be display to the user if salt-run is being used from the command-line.  If
       used  programmatically, no results will be returned.  If results are desired, they must be
       gathered either by firing events on the bus from the runner and then watching for them  or
       by some other means.

       NOTE:
          When running a runner in asynchronous mode, the --progress flag will not deliver output
          to the salt-run CLI. However, progress events will still be fired on the bus.

       In synchronous mode, which is the default, control will not be returned until  the  runner
       has finished executing.

       To  add  custom  runners,  put them in a directory and add it to runner_dirs in the master
       configuration file.

   Examples
       Examples of runners can be found in the Salt distribution:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/runners

       A simple runner that returns a well-formatted list of the minions that are  responding  to
       Salt calls could look like this:

          # Import salt modules
          import salt.client

          def up():
              """
              Print a list of all of the minions that are up
              """
              client = salt.client.LocalClient(__opts__["conf_file"])
              minions = client.cmd("*", "test.version", timeout=1)
              for minion in sorted(minions):
                  print(minion)

   Salt Engines
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Salt Engines are long-running, external system processes that leverage Salt.

       • Engines  have  access  to  Salt configuration, execution modules, and runners (__opts__,
         __salt__, and __runners__).

       • Engines are executed in a separate process that is monitored by Salt. If a  Salt  engine
         stops, it is restarted automatically.

       • Engines can run on the Salt master and on Salt minions.

       Salt engines enhance and replace the external processes functionality.

   Configuration
       Salt engines are configured under an engines top-level section in your Salt master or Salt
       minion configuration. Provide a list of engines and parameters under this section.

          engines:
            - logstash:
                host: log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp

       New in version 3000.

       Multiple  copies  of  a  particular  Salt  engine  can  be  configured  by  including  the
       engine_module parameter in the engine configuration.

          engines:
            - production_logstash:
                host: production_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash
            - develop_logstash:
                host: develop_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash

       Salt engines must be in the Salt path, or you can add the engines_dirs option in your Salt
       master configuration with a list of directories under which Salt  attempts  to  find  Salt
       engines. This option should be formatted as a list of directories to search, such as:

          engines_dirs:
            - /home/bob/engines

   Writing an Engine
       An                        example                       Salt                       engine,
       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/engines/test.py, is  available  in  the
       Salt  source. To develop an engine, the only requirement is that your module implement the
       start() function.

   What is YAML and How To Use It
       The default renderer for SLS files is the YAML renderer.

   What is YAML
       What does YAML stand for? It's an acronym for YAML Ain't Markup Language.

       The Official YAML Website defines YAML as:
          ...a human friendly data serialization standard for all programming languages.

       However, Salt uses a small  subset  of  YAML  that  maps  over  very  commonly  used  data
       structures,  like  lists  and dictionaries. It is the job of the YAML renderer to take the
       YAML data structure and compile it into a Python data structure for use by Salt.

   Defining YAML
       Though YAML syntax may seem daunting and terse at first, there are only three very  simple
       rules to remember when writing YAML for SLS files.

   Rule One: Indentation
       YAML  uses a fixed indentation scheme to represent relationships between data layers. Salt
       requires that the indentation for each level consists of exactly two spaces.  Do  not  use
       tabs.

   Rule Two: Colons
       Python dictionaries are, of course, simply key-value pairs. Users from other languages may
       recognize this data type as hashes or associative arrays.

       Dictionary keys are represented in YAML as strings terminated by a trailing colon.  Values
       are represented by either a string following the colon, separated by a space:

          my_key: my_value

       In Python, the above maps to:

          {"my_key": "my_value"}

       Alternatively, a value can be associated with a key through indentation.

          my_key:
            my_value

       NOTE:
          The  above  syntax  is  valid YAML but is uncommon in SLS files because most often, the
          value for a key is not singular but instead is a list of values.

       In Python, the above maps to:

          {"my_key": "my_value"}

       Dictionaries can be nested:

          first_level_dict_key:
            second_level_dict_key: value_in_second_level_dict

       And in Python:

          {"first_level_dict_key": {"second_level_dict_key": "value_in_second_level_dict"}}

   Rule Three: Dashes
       To represent lists of items, a single dash followed by a space is used. Multiple items are
       a part of the same list as a function of their having the same level of indentation.

          - list_value_one
          - list_value_two
          - list_value_three

       Lists can be the value of a key-value pair. This is quite common in Salt:

          my_dictionary:
            - list_value_one
            - list_value_two
            - list_value_three

       In Python, the above maps to:

          {"my_dictionary": ["list_value_one", "list_value_two", "list_value_three"]}

   Learning more about YAML
       One  easy way to learn more about how YAML gets rendered into Python data structures is to
       use an online YAML parser to see the Python output.

       Here are some excellent links for experimenting with and referencing YAML:

       • Online YAML Parser: Convert YAML to JSON or Python data structures.

       • The Official YAML SpecificationThe Wikipedia page for YAML

   Templating
       Jinja statements and expressions are allowed by default in SLS  files.  See  Understanding
       Jinja.

   Understanding Jinja
       Jinja is the default templating language in SLS files.

       IMPORTANT:
          Jinja  supports  a  secure,  sandboxed  template  execution environment that Salt takes
          advantage of. Other text renderers do not support this functionality,  so  Salt  highly
          recommends usage of jinja / jinja|yaml.

   Jinja in States
       Jinja is evaluated before YAML, which means it is evaluated before the States are run.

       The  most  basic  usage  of  Jinja  in  state  files  is  using control structures to wrap
       conditional or redundant state elements:

          {% if grains['os'] != 'FreeBSD' %}
          tcsh:
              pkg:
                  - installed
          {% endif %}

          motd:
            file.managed:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'FreeBSD' %}
              - name: /etc/motd
              {% elif grains['os'] == 'Debian' %}
              - name: /etc/motd.tail
              {% endif %}
              - source: salt://motd

       In this example, the first if block will only be evaluated on minions that aren't  running
       FreeBSD, and the second block changes the file name based on the os grain.

       Writing if-else blocks can lead to very redundant state files however. In this case, using
       pillars, or using a previously defined variable might be easier:

          {% set motd = ['/etc/motd'] %}
          {% if grains['os'] == 'Debian' %}
            {% set motd = ['/etc/motd.tail', '/var/run/motd'] %}
          {% endif %}

          {% for motdfile in motd %}
          {{ motdfile }}:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://motd
          {% endfor %}

       Using a variable set by the template, the for loop will iterate  over  the  list  of  MOTD
       files to update, adding a state block for each file.

       The filter_by function can also be used to set variables based on grains:

          {% set auditd = salt['grains.filter_by']({
          'RedHat': { 'package': 'audit' },
          'Debian': { 'package': 'auditd' },
          }) %}

   Include and Import
       Includes  and  imports  can  be used to share common, reusable state configuration between
       state files and between files.

          {% from 'lib.sls' import test %}

       This would import the test template variable or macro, not the test  state  element,  from
       the  file  lib.sls.  In the case that the included file performs checks against grains, or
       something else that requires context, passing  the  context  into  the  included  file  is
       required:

          {% from 'lib.sls' import test with context %}

       Includes must use full paths, like so:

       spam/eggs.jinja

           {% include 'spam/foobar.jinja' %}

   Including Context During Include/Import
       By  adding with context to the include/import directive, the current context can be passed
       to an included/imported template.

          {% import 'openssl/vars.sls' as ssl with context %}

   Macros
       Macros  are  helpful  for  eliminating  redundant  code.  Macros  are   most   useful   as
       mini-templates  to  repeat blocks of strings with a few parameterized variables.  Be aware
       that stripping whitespace from the template block, as well as  contained  blocks,  may  be
       necessary to emulate a variable return from the macro.

          # init.sls
          {% from 'lib.sls' import pythonpkg with context %}

          python-virtualenv:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pythonpkg('virtualenv') }}

          python-fabric:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ pythonpkg('fabric') }}

          # lib.sls
          {% macro pythonpkg(pkg) -%}
            {%- if grains['os'] == 'FreeBSD' -%}
              py27-{{ pkg }}
            {%- elif grains['os'] == 'Debian' -%}
              python-{{ pkg }}
            {%- endif -%}
          {%- endmacro %}

       This  would  define a macro that would return a string of the full package name, depending
       on the packaging system's naming convention. The whitespace of the macro  was  eliminated,
       so that the macro would return a string without line breaks, using whitespace control.

   Template Inheritance
       Template  inheritance works fine from state files and files. The search path starts at the
       root of the state tree or pillar.

   Errors
       Saltstack allows raising custom errors using the raise jinja function.

          {{ raise('Custom Error') }}

       When rendering the template containing the above statement, a TemplateError  exception  is
       raised, causing the rendering to fail with the following message:

          TemplateError: Custom Error

   Filters
       Saltstack extends builtin filters with these custom filters:

   strftime
       Converts  any  time  related  object  into a time based string. It requires valid strftime
       directives. An exhaustive list can be found here in the Python documentation.

          {% set curtime = None | strftime() %}

       Fuzzy dates require the timelib Python module is installed.

          {{ "2002/12/25"|strftime("%y") }}
          {{ "1040814000"|strftime("%Y-%m-%d") }}
          {{ datetime|strftime("%u") }}
          {{ "tomorrow"|strftime }}

   sequence
       Ensure that parsed data is a sequence.

   yaml_encode
       Serializes a single object into a YAML scalar with any  necessary  handling  for  escaping
       special  characters.   This  will  work  for  any  scalar  YAML  data  type: ints, floats,
       timestamps, booleans, strings, unicode.  It  will  not  work  for  multi-objects  such  as
       sequences or maps.

          {%- set bar = 7 %}
          {%- set baz = none %}
          {%- set zip = true %}
          {%- set zap = 'The word of the day is "salty"' %}

          {%- load_yaml as foo %}
          bar: {{ bar|yaml_encode }}
          baz: {{ baz|yaml_encode }}
          zip: {{ zip|yaml_encode }}
          zap: {{ zap|yaml_encode }}
          {%- endload %}

       In  the  above  case  {{ bar }} and {{ foo.bar }} should be identical and {{ baz }} and {{
       foo.baz }} should be identical.

   yaml_dquote
       Serializes a string into a properly-escaped YAML double-quoted  string.   This  is  useful
       when  the contents of a string are unknown and may contain quotes or unicode that needs to
       be preserved.  The resulting string will  be  emitted  with  opening  and  closing  double
       quotes.

          {%- set bar = '"The quick brown fox . . ."' %}
          {%- set baz = 'The word of the day is "salty".' %}

          {%- load_yaml as foo %}
          bar: {{ bar|yaml_dquote }}
          baz: {{ baz|yaml_dquote }}
          {%- endload %}

       In  the  above  case  {{ bar }} and {{ foo.bar }} should be identical and {{ baz }} and {{
       foo.baz }} should be identical.  If variable contents are not guaranteed to  be  a  string
       then it is better to use yaml_encode which handles all YAML scalar types.

   yaml_squote
       Similar  to  the  yaml_dquote  filter  but with single quotes.  Note that YAML only allows
       special escapes inside double quotes so yaml_squote is not  nearly  as  useful  (viz.  you
       likely want to use yaml_encode or yaml_dquote).

   check_whitelist_blacklist
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Check a whitelist and/or blacklist to see if the value matches it.

       This filter can be used with  either  a  whitelist  or  a  blacklist  individually,  or  a
       whitelist and a blacklist can be passed simultaneously.

       If whitelist is used alone, value membership is checked against the whitelist only. If the
       value is found, the function returns True.  Otherwise, it returns False.

       If blacklist is used alone, value membership is checked against the blacklist only. If the
       value is found, the function returns False.  Otherwise, it returns True.

       If  both  a whitelist and a blacklist are provided, value membership in the blacklist will
       be examined first. If the value is not found in  the  blacklist,  then  the  whitelist  is
       checked. If the value isn't found in the whitelist, the function returns False.

       Whitelist Example:

          {{ 5 | check_whitelist_blacklist(whitelist=[5, 6, 7]) }}

       Returns:

          True

       Returns:

          2017-03-08
          08.03.2017 17:00

   to_num

          {{ 'wall of text' | to_bytes }}

       NOTE:
          This  option may have adverse effects when using the default renderer, jinja|yaml. This
          is due to the fact that YAML requires proper handling in regard to special  characters.
          Please  see  the section on YAML ASCII support in the YAML Idiosyncracies documentation
          for more information.

   json_encode_list
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       New in version 2018.3.0: Renamed  from  json_decode_list  to  json_encode_list.  When  you
       encode  something  you  get  bytes,  and  when  you decode, you get your locale's encoding
       (usually  a  unicode  type).  This  filter  was  incorrectly-named  when  it  was   added.
       json_decode_list will be supported until the 3003 release.

       Deprecated  since  version  2018.3.3,2019.2.0:  The  tojson  filter accomplishes what this
       filter was designed to do, making this filter redundant.

       Recursively encodes all string elements of the list to bytes.

       Example:

          {{ [1, 2, 3] | json_encode_list }}

       Returns:

          [1, 2, 3]

   json_encode_dict
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       New in version 2018.3.0: Renamed  from  json_decode_dict  to  json_encode_dict.  When  you
       encode  something  you  get  bytes,  and  when  you decode, you get your locale's encoding
       (usually  a  unicode  type).  This  filter  was  incorrectly-named  when  it  was   added.
       json_decode_dict will be supported until the 3003 release.

       Deprecated  since  version  2018.3.3,2019.2.0:  The  tojson  filter accomplishes what this
       filter was designed to do, making this filter redundant.

       Recursively encodes all string items in the dictionary to bytes.

       Example:

       Assuming that pillar['foo'] contains {u'a': u'\u0414'}, and your locale is en_US.UTF-8:

          {{ pillar['foo'] | json_encode_dict }}

       Returns:

          {"a": "\xd0\x94"}

   tojson
       New in version 2018.3.3,2019.2.0.

       Dumps a data structure to JSON.

       This filter was added to provide this functionality to hosts which have  a  Jinja  release
       older  than  version  2.9 installed. If Jinja 2.9 or newer is installed, then the upstream
       version of the filter will be used. See the upstream docs for more information.

   random_hash
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       New in version 2018.3.0: Renamed from rand_str to random_hash to more accurately  describe
       what  the  filter  does.  rand_str will be supported to ensure backwards compatibility but
       please use the preferred random_hash.

       Generates a random number between 1 and the number passed to the filter, and  then  hashes
       it.  The  default  hash type is the one specified by the minion's hash_type config option,
       but an alternate hash type can be passed to the filter as an argument.

       Example:

          {% set num_range = 99999999 %}
          {{ num_range | random_hash }}
          {{ num_range | random_hash('sha512') }}

       Returns:

          43ec517d68b6edd3015b3edc9a11367b

       Return the list of hosts within a networks. This utility works for both IPv4 and IPv6.

       NOTE:
          When  running this command with a large IPv6 network, the command will take a long time
          to gather all of the hosts.

   File filters
   is_text_file
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Return if a file is text.

       Uses heuristics to guess whether the given file is text or binary,  by  reading  a  single
       block of bytes from the file.  If more than 30% of the chars in the block are non-text, or
       there are NUL ('x00') bytes in the block, assume this is a binary file.

       Saltstack extends builtin tests with these custom tests:

   equalto
       Tests the equality between two values.

       Can be used in an if statement directly:

          {% if 1 is equalto(1) %}
              < statements >
          {% endif %}

       If clause evaluates to True

       or with the selectattr filter:

          {{ [{'value': 1}, {'value': 2} , {'value': 3}] | selectattr('value', 'equalto', 3) | list }}

       Returns:

          [{"value": 3}]

   match
       Tests that a string matches the regex passed as an argument.

       Can be used in a if statement directly:

          {% if 'a' is match('[a-b]') %}
              < statements >
          {% endif %}

       If clause evaluates to True

   Escape filters
   regex_escape
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Allows escaping of strings so they can be interpreted literally by another function.

       Example:

          regex_escape = {{ 'https://example.com?foo=bar%20baz' | regex_escape }}

       will be rendered as:

          regex_escape = https\:\/\/example\.com\?foo\=bar\%20baz

   Set Theory Filters
   unique
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Performs set math using Jinja filters.

       Example:

          unique = {{ ['foo', 'foo', 'bar'] | unique }}

       will be rendered as:

          unique = ['foo', 'bar']

   Jinja in Files
       Jinja can be used in the same way in managed files:

          # redis.sls
          /etc/redis/redis.conf:
              file.managed:
                  - source: salt://redis.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - context:
                      bind: 127.0.0.1

          # lib.sls
          {% set port = 6379 %}

          # redis.conf
          {% from 'lib.sls' import port with context %}
          port {{ port }}
          bind {{ bind }}

       As  an  example,  configuration  was  pulled  from  the  file context and from an external
       template file.

       NOTE:
          Macros and variables can be shared across templates. They should not be  starting  with
          one  or  more  underscores,  and should be managed by one of the following tags: macro,
          set, load_yaml, load_json, import_yaml and import_json.

   Escaping Jinja
       Occasionally, it may be necessary to escape Jinja syntax. There are two ways to do this in
       Jinja.  One  is escaping individual variables or strings and the other is to escape entire
       blocks.

       To escape a string commonly used in Jinja syntax such as {{, you  can  use  the  following
       syntax:

          {{ '{{' }}

       For  larger  blocks  that  contain  Jinja syntax that needs to be escaped, you can use raw
       blocks:

          {% raw %}
              some text that contains jinja characters that need to be escaped
          {% endraw %}

       See the Escaping section of Jinja's documentation to learn more.

       A real-word example of needing to use raw tags to escape a larger block of  code  is  when
       using  file.managed with the contents_pillar option to manage files that contain something
       like consul-template, which shares a syntax subset with Jinja. Raw  blocks  are  necessary
       here  because  the  Jinja  in the pillar would be rendered before the file.managed is ever
       called, so the Jinja syntax must be escaped:

          {% raw %}
          - contents_pillar: |
              job "example-job" {
                <snipped>
                task "example" {
                    driver = "docker"

                    config {
                        image = "docker-registry.service.consul:5000/example-job:{{key "nomad/jobs/example-job/version"}}"
                <snipped>
          {% endraw %}

   Calling Salt Functions
       The Jinja renderer provides a shorthand lookup syntax for the salt dictionary of execution
       function.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

          # The following two function calls are equivalent.
          {{ salt['cmd.run']('whoami') }}
          {{ salt.cmd.run('whoami') }}

   Debugging
       The  show_full_context function can be used to output all variables present in the current
       Jinja context.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

          Context is: {{ show_full_context()|yaml(False) }}

   Logs
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Yes, in Salt, one is able to debug a complex Jinja template using the logs.  For  example,
       making the call:

          {%- do salt.log.error('testing jinja logging') -%}

       Will insert the following message in the minion logs:

          2017-02-01 01:24:40,728 [salt.module.logmod][ERROR   ][3779] testing jinja logging

   Profiling
       New in version 3002.

       When  working  with  a  very  large  codebase, it becomes increasingly imperative to trace
       inefficiencies with state and pillar render times.  The profile jinja  block  enables  the
       user to get finely detailed information on the most expensive areas in the codebase.

   Profiling blocks
       Any block of jinja code can be wrapped in a profile block.  The syntax for a profile block
       is {% profile as '<name>' %}<jinja code>{% endprofile %}, where <name> can be any  string.
       The <name> token will appear in the log at the profile level along with the render time of
       the block.

          # /srv/salt/example.sls
          {%- profile as 'local data' %}
            {%- set local_data = {'counter': 0} %}
            {%- for i in range(313377) %}
              {%- do local_data.update({'counter': i}) %}
            {%- endfor %}
          {%- endprofile %}

          test:
            cmd.run:
              - name: |-
                  printf 'data: %s' '{{ local_data['counter'] }}'

       The profile block in the example.sls state will emit the following log statement:

          # salt-call --local -l profile state.apply example
          [...]
          [PROFILE ] Time (in seconds) to render profile block 'local data': 0.9385035037994385
          [...]

   Profiling imports
       Using the same logic as the profile block, the import_yaml, import_json,  and  import_text
       blocks will emit similar statements at the profile log level.

          # /srv/salt/data.sls
          {%- set values = {'counter': 0} %}
          {%- for i in range(524288) %}
            {%- do values.update({'counter': i}) %}
          {%- endfor %}

          data: {{ values['counter'] }}

          # /srv/salt/example.sls
          {%- import_yaml 'data.sls' as imported %}

          test:
            cmd.run:
              - name: |-
                  printf 'data: %s' '{{ imported['data'] }}'

       For import_* blocks, the profile log statement has the following form:

          # salt-call --local -l profile state.apply example
          [...]
          [PROFILE ] Time (in seconds) to render import_yaml 'data.sls': 1.5500736236572266
          [...]

   Python Methods
       A  powerful feature of jinja that is only hinted at in the official jinja documentation is
       that you can use the native python methods of  the  variable  type.  Here  is  the  python
       documentation for string methods.

          {% set hostname,domain = grains.id.partition('.')[::2] %}{{ hostname }}

          {% set strings = grains.id.split('-') %}{{ strings[0] }}

   Custom Execution Modules
       Custom  execution  modules  can be used to supplement or replace complex Jinja. Many tasks
       that require complex looping and logic are trivial when using Python in a  Salt  execution
       module. Salt execution modules are easy to write and distribute to Salt minions.

       Functions  in  custom  execution  modules  are  available  in  the  Salt  execution module
       dictionary just like the built-in execution modules:

          {{ salt['my_custom_module.my_custom_function']() }}

       • How to Convert Jinja Logic to an Execution Module

       • Writing Execution Modules

   Custom Jinja filters
       Given that all execution modules are available in  the  Jinja  template,  one  can  easily
       define  a  custom  module  as  in  the  previous  paragraph  and use it as a Jinja filter.
       However, please note that it will not be accessible through the pipe.

       For example, instead of:

          {{ my_variable | my_jinja_filter }}

       The user will need to define my_jinja_filter  function  under  an  extension  module,  say
       my_filters and use as:

          {{ salt.my_filters.my_jinja_filter(my_variable) }}

       The greatest benefit is that you are able to access thousands of existing functions, e.g.:

       • get the DNS AAAA records for a specific address using the dnsutil:

            {{ salt.dnsutil.AAAA('www.google.com') }}

       • retrieve a specific field value from a Redis hash:

            {{ salt.redis.hget('foo_hash', 'bar_field') }}

       • get the routes to 0.0.0.0/0 using the NAPALM route:

            {{ salt.route.show('0.0.0.0/0') }}

   Autoaccept minions from Grains
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       To  automatically  accept  minions based on certain characteristics, e.g. the uuid you can
       specify certain grain values on the salt master. Minions with matching  grains  will  have
       their keys automatically accepted.

       1. Configure the autosign_grains_dir in the master config file:

          autosign_grains_dir: /etc/salt/autosign_grains

       2. Configure the grain values to be accepted

       Place  a  file  named  like the grain in the autosign_grains_dir and write the values that
       should be accepted automatically inside that file. For  example  to  automatically  accept
       minions based on their uuid create a file named /etc/salt/autosign_grains/uuid:

          8f7d68e2-30c5-40c6-b84a-df7e978a03ee
          1d3c5473-1fbc-479e-b0c7-877705a0730f

       The  master  is  now  setup  to  accept  minions  with  either of the two specified uuids.
       Multiple values must always be written into separate lines.  Lines starting with a  #  are
       ignored.

       3. Configure  the  minion  to  send the specific grains to the master in the minion config
          file:

          autosign_grains:
            - uuid

       Now you should be able to start salt-minion and run salt-call  state.apply  or  any  other
       salt commands that require master authentication.

   Salt as a Cloud Controller
       In  Salt  0.14.0,  an advanced cloud control system was introduced, allowing private cloud
       VMs to be managed directly with Salt. This system is generally referred to as Salt Virt.

       The Salt Virt system already exists and is installed within Salt itself. This  means  that
       besides setting up Salt, no additional salt code needs to be deployed.

       NOTE:
          The libvirt python module and the certtool binary are required.

       The  main  goal  of Salt Virt is to facilitate a very fast and simple cloud that can scale
       and is fully featured. Salt Virt comes with the ability  to  set  up  and  manage  complex
       virtual  machine  networking,  powerful  image  and  disk  management, and virtual machine
       migration with and without shared storage.

       This means that Salt Virt can be used to create a cloud from a blade center and a SAN, but
       can  also  create a cloud out of a swarm of Linux Desktops without a single shared storage
       system. Salt Virt can make clouds from truly commodity hardware, but can also stand up the
       power of specialized hardware as well.

   Setting up Hypervisors
       The  first  step to set up the hypervisors involves getting the correct software installed
       and setting up the hypervisor network interfaces.

   Installing Hypervisor Software
       Salt Virt is made to be hypervisor agnostic but  currently,  the  only  fully  implemented
       hypervisor is KVM via libvirt.

       The  required software for a hypervisor is libvirt and kvm. For advanced features, install
       libguestfs or qemu-nbd.

       NOTE:
          Libguestfs and qemu-nbd allow for virtual machine images to be mounted  before  startup
          and get pre-seeded with configurations and a salt minion.

       This  sls will set up the needed software for a hypervisor, and run the routines to set up
       the libvirt pki keys.

       NOTE:
          Package names and setup used is Red Hat  specific.  Different  package  names  will  be
          required for different platforms.

          libvirt:
            pkg.installed: []
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd
              - contents: 'LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen"'
              - require:
                - pkg: libvirt
            virt.keys:
              - require:
                - pkg: libvirt
            service.running:
              - name: libvirtd
              - require:
                - pkg: libvirt
                - network: br0
                - libvirt: libvirt
              - watch:
                - file: libvirt

          libvirt-python:
            pkg.installed: []

          libguestfs:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - libguestfs
                - libguestfs-tools

   Hypervisor Network Setup
       The  hypervisors  will need to be running a network bridge to serve up network devices for
       virtual machines. This formula will set up a standard bridge on  a  hypervisor  connecting
       the bridge to eth0:

          eth0:
            network.managed:
              - enabled: True
              - type: eth
              - bridge: br0

          br0:
            network.managed:
              - enabled: True
              - type: bridge
              - proto: dhcp
              - require:
                - network: eth0

   Virtual Machine Network Setup
       Salt Virt comes with a system to model the network interfaces used by the deployed virtual
       machines. By default, a single interface is created for the deployed virtual  machine  and
       is  bridged to br0. To get going with the default networking setup, ensure that the bridge
       interface named br0 exists on the hypervisor and is bridged to an active network device.

       NOTE:
          To use more advanced networking in Salt Virt, read the Salt Virt Networking document:

          Salt Virt Networking

   Libvirt State
       One of the challenges of deploying a libvirt based cloud is the  distribution  of  libvirt
       certificates.  These  certificates  allow for virtual machine migration. Salt comes with a
       system used to auto deploy these certificates.  Salt manages the signing authority key and
       generates  keys  for  libvirt  clients  on  the  master,  signs  them with the certificate
       authority, and uses pillar to distribute them. This is  managed  via  the  libvirt  state.
       Simply  execute  this formula on the minion to ensure that the certificate is in place and
       up to date:

       NOTE:
          The above formula includes the calls needed to set up libvirt keys.

          libvirt_keys:
            virt.keys

   Getting Virtual Machine Images Ready
       Salt Virt requires that virtual machine images be provided as these are not  generated  on
       the  fly.  Generating these virtual machine images differs greatly based on the underlying
       platform.

       Virtual machine images  can  be  manually  created  using  KVM  and  running  through  the
       installer,  but  this  process  is  not  recommended  since it is very manual and prone to
       errors.

       Virtual Machine generation applications are available for many platforms:

       kiwi: (openSUSE, SLES, RHEL, CentOS)
              https://opensuse.github.io/kiwi/

       vm-builder:
              https://wiki.debian.org/VMBuilder

              SEE ALSO:
                 vmbuilder-formula

       Once virtual machine images are available, the easiest way to make them available to  Salt
       Virt  is  to  place them in the Salt file server. Just copy an image into /srv/salt and it
       can now be used by Salt Virt.

       For purposes of this demo, the file name centos.img will be used.

   Existing Virtual Machine Images
       Many existing Linux distributions distribute virtual machine images which can be used with
       Salt Virt. Please be advised that NONE OF THESE IMAGES ARE SUPPORTED BY SALTSTACK.

   CentOS
       These  images  have  been  prepared for OpenNebula but should work without issue with Salt
       Virt, only the raw qcow image file is needed: https://wiki.centos.org/Cloud/OpenNebula

   Fedora Linux
       Images for Fedora Linux can be found here: https://alt.fedoraproject.org/cloud

   openSUSE
       https://download.opensuse.org/distribution/leap/15.1/jeos/openSUSE-Leap-15.1-JeOS.x86_64-15.1.0-kvm-and-xen-Current.qcow2.meta4

   SUSE
       https://www.suse.com/products/server/jeos

   Ubuntu Linux
       Images for Ubuntu Linux can be found here: http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/

   Using Salt Virt
       With  hypervisors  set  up  and virtual machine images ready, Salt can start issuing cloud
       commands using the virt runner.

       Start by running a Salt Virt hypervisor info command:

          salt-run virt.host_info

       This will query the running hypervisor(s) for stats and display useful information such as
       the number of CPUs and amount of memory.

       You can also list all VMs and their current states on all hypervisor nodes:

          salt-run virt.list

       Now  that  hypervisors  are  available a virtual machine can be provisioned, the virt.init
       routine will create a new virtual machine:

          salt-run virt.init centos1 2 512 salt://centos.img

       The Salt Virt runner will now automatically select a hypervisor to deploy the new  virtual
       machine  on. Using salt:// assumes that the CentOS virtual machine image is located in the
       root of the file-server on the master.  When images are cloned (i.e. copied locally  after
       retrieval  from  the  file  server), the destination directory on the hypervisor minion is
       determined by the virt:images config option; by default this is /srv/salt-images/.

       When a VM is initialized using virt.init, the image is  copied  to  the  hypervisor  using
       cp.cache_file  and  will  be  mounted  and seeded with a minion.  Seeding includes setting
       pre-authenticated keys on the new machine. A minion will only be installed if one can  not
       be found on the image using the default arguments to seed.apply.

       NOTE:
          The  biggest  bottleneck in starting VMs is when the Salt Minion needs to be installed.
          Making sure that the source VM images already have Salt installed will GREATLY speed up
          virtual machine deployment.

       You can also deploy an image on a particular minion by directly calling the virt execution
       module with an absolute image path. This can be quite handy for testing:

          salt 'hypervisor*' virt.init centos1 2 512 image=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos.img

       Now that the new VM has been prepared, it can be seen via the virt.query command:

          salt-run virt.query

       This command will return  data  about  all  of  the  hypervisors  and  respective  virtual
       machines.

       Now  that the new VM is booted, it should have contacted the Salt Master. A test.ping will
       reveal if the new VM is running.

   QEMU Copy on Write Support
       For fast image cloning, you can use the qcow disk image format.  Pass the enable_qcow flag
       and a .qcow2 image path to virt.init:

          salt 'hypervisor*' virt.init centos1 2 512 image=/var/lib/libvirt/images/centos.qcow2 enable_qcow=True start=False

       NOTE:
          Beware  that  attempting to boot a qcow image too quickly after cloning can result in a
          race condition where libvirt may try to boot  the  machine  before  image  seeding  has
          completed. For that reason, it is recommended to also pass start=False to virt.init.

          Also  know that you must not modify the original base image without first making a copy
          and then rebasing all overlay images onto it.  See the qemu-img rebase usage docs.

   Migrating Virtual Machines
       Salt Virt comes with full support for virtual machine migration. Using the  libvirt  state
       in the above formula makes migration possible.

       A  few  things  need  to be available to support migration. Many operating systems turn on
       firewalls when originally set up; the firewall needs to be opened up to allow for  libvirt
       and  kvm  to  cross  communicate  and  execution  migration  routines.  On  Red  Hat based
       hypervisors in particular, port 16514 needs to be opened on hypervisors:

          iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 16514 -j ACCEPT

       NOTE:
          More in-depth information regarding distribution  specific  firewall  settings  can  be
          found in:

          Opening the Firewall up for Salt

       Salt  also  needs  the  virt:tunnel  option  to  be turned on. This flag tells Salt to run
       migrations  securely  via  the  libvirt  TLS  tunnel  and  to  use  port  16514.   Without
       virt:tunnel, libvirt tries to bind to random ports when running migrations.

       To turn on virt:tunnel, simply apply it to the master config file:

          virt:
              tunnel: True

       Once  the  master  config  has been updated, restart the master and send out a call to the
       minions to refresh the pillar to pick up on the change:

          salt \* saltutil.refresh_modules

       Now, migration routines can be run! To migrate a VM, simply  run  the  Salt  Virt  migrate
       routine:

          salt-run virt.migrate centos <new hypervisor>

   VNC Consoles
       Although  not  enabled  by  default,  Salt  Virt can also set up VNC consoles allowing for
       remote visual consoles to be opened up. When creating a new VM using virt.init,  pass  the
       enable_vnc=True parameter to have a console configured for the new VM.

       The  information  from  a  virt.query  routine  will  display the VNC console port for the
       specific VMs:

          centos
            CPU: 2
            Memory: 524288
            State: running
            Graphics: vnc - hyper6:5900
            Disk - vda:
              Size: 2.0G
              File: /srv/salt-images/ubuntu2/system.qcow2
              File Format: qcow2
            Nic - ac:de:48:98:08:77:
              Source: br0
              Type: bridge

       The line Graphics: vnc - hyper6:5900 holds the key. First the port  named,  in  this  case
       5900, will need to be available in the hypervisor's firewall.  Once the port is open, then
       the console can be easily opened via vncviewer:

          vncviewer hyper6:5900

       By default there is no VNC security set up on these ports,  which  suggests  that  keeping
       them  firewalled  and  mandating  that SSH tunnels be used to access these VNC interfaces.
       Keep in mind that activity on a VNC interface that is accessed can be viewed by any  other
       user that accesses that same VNC interface, and any other user logging in can also operate
       with the logged in user on the virtual machine.

   Conclusion
       Now with Salt Virt running, new hypervisors can be seamlessly added just  by  running  the
       above states on new bare metal machines, and these machines will be instantly available to
       Salt Virt.

   Running Salt States and Commands in Docker Containers
       The 2016.11.0 release of Salt introduces the ability  to  execute  Salt  States  and  Salt
       remote execution commands directly inside of Docker containers.

       This  addition  makes  it  possible to not only deploy fresh containers using Salt States.
       This also allows for running containers to be audited and modified using Salt, but without
       running  a  Salt  Minion  inside the container.  Some of the applications include security
       audits of running containers as well as gathering operating data from containers.

       This new feature is simple and straightforward, and can be used via a running Salt Minion,
       the  Salt  Call  command,  or  via  Salt  SSH. For this tutorial we will use the salt-call
       command, but like all salt commands these calls are  directly  translatable  to  salt  and
       salt-ssh.

   Step 1 - Install Docker
       Since  setting  up Docker is well covered in the Docker documentation we will make no such
       effort to  describe  it  here.  Please  see  the  Docker  Installation  Documentation  for
       installing and setting up Docker: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/

       The  Docker  integration  also requires that the docker-py library is installed.  This can
       easily be done using pip or via your system package manager:

          pip install docker-py

   Step 2 - Install Salt
       For this tutorial we will be using Salt  Call,  which  is  available  in  the  salt-minion
       package, please follow the Salt Installation docs found here: https://repo.saltproject.io/

   Step 3 - Create With Salt States
       Next  some  Salt States are needed, for this example a very basic state which installs vim
       is used, but anything Salt States can do can be done here,  please  see  the  Salt  States
       Introduction       Tutorial      to      learn      more      about      Salt      States:
       https://docs.saltproject.io/en/stage/getstarted/config/

       For this tutorial, simply create a small state file in /srv/salt/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

       NOTE:
          The base image you choose will need to have python 2.6 or 2.7 installed.  We are hoping
          to resolve this constraint in a future release.

          If  base  is  omitted  the  default  image used is a minimal openSUSE image with Python
          support, maintained by SUSE

       Next run the docker.sls_build command:

          salt-call --local dockerng.sls_build test base=my_base_image mods=vim

       Now we have a fresh image called test to work with and vim has been installed.

   Step 4 - Running Commands Inside the Container
       Salt can now run remote execution functions  inside  the  container  with  another  simple
       salt-call command:

          salt-call --local dockerng.call test test.version
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test network.interfaces
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test disk.usage
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test pkg.list_pkgs
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test service.running httpd
          salt-call --local dockerng.call test cmd.run 'ls -l /etc'

   Automatic Updates / Frozen Deployments
       New in version 0.10.3.d.

       Salt  has  support for the Esky application freezing and update tool. This tool allows one
       to build a complete zipfile out of the salt scripts and all their dependencies - including
       shared objects / DLLs.

   Getting Started
       To build frozen applications, suitable build environment will be needed for each platform.
       You should probably set up a virtualenv in order to limit the scope of Q/A.

       This    process    does    work    on    Windows.    Directions    are    available     at
       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-windows-install   for  details  on  installing  Salt  in
       Windows. Only the 32-bit Python and dependencies have been  tested,  but  they  have  been
       tested on 64-bit Windows.

       Install  bbfreeze,  and  then  esky from PyPI in order to enable the bdist_esky command in
       setup.py. Salt itself must also be installed, in addition to its dependencies.

   Building and Freezing
       Once you have your tools installed and the environment configured, use setup.py to prepare
       the distribution files.

          python setup.py sdist
          python setup.py bdist

       Once  the  distribution  files are in place, Esky can be used traverse the module tree and
       pack all the scripts up into a redistributable.

          python setup.py bdist_esky

       There will be an appropriately versioned salt-VERSION.zip  in  dist/  if  everything  went
       smoothly.

   Windows
       C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\zmq  will  need to be added to the PATH variable. This helps
       bbfreeze find the zmq DLL so it can pack it up.

   Using the Frozen Build
       Unpack the zip file  in  the  desired  install  location.  Scripts  like  salt-minion  and
       salt-call  will be in the root of the zip file. The associated libraries and bootstrapping
       will be in the directories at the same level.  (Check  the  Esky  documentation  for  more
       information)

       To  support  updating  your  minions  in the wild, put the builds on a web server that the
       minions can reach. salt.modules.saltutil.update() will trigger an update and  (optionally)
       a restart of the minion service under the new version.

   Troubleshooting
   A Windows minion isn't responding
       The  process  dispatch on Windows is slower than it is on *nix. It may be necessary to add
       '-t 15' to salt commands to give minions plenty of time to return.

   Windows and the Visual Studio Redist
       The Visual C++ 2008 32-bit redistributable will  need  to  be  installed  on  all  Windows
       minions.  Esky  has  an  option to pack the library into the zipfile, but OpenSSL does not
       seem to acknowledge the new location. If a no OPENSSL_Applink error appears on the console
       when trying to start a frozen minion, the redistributable is not installed.

   Mixed Linux environments and Yum
       The Yum Python module doesn't appear to be available on any of the standard Python package
       mirrors. If RHEL/CentOS systems need to be supported, the frozen build should  created  on
       that  platform  to  support  all  the  Linux  nodes. Remember to build the virtualenv with
       --system-site-packages so that the yum module is included.

   Automatic (Python) module discovery
       Automatic (Python) module discovery does not work with the late-loaded  scheme  that  Salt
       uses  for  (Salt) modules. Any misbehaving modules will need to be explicitly added to the
       freezer_includes in Salt's setup.py.  Always check the zipped  application  to  make  sure
       that the necessary modules were included.

   ESXi Proxy Minion
       New in version 2015.8.4.

       NOTE:
          This  tutorial  assumes basic knowledge of Salt. To get up to speed, check out the Salt
          Walkthrough.

          This tutorial also assumes a basic understanding  of  Salt  Proxy  Minions.  If  you're
          unfamiliar  with  Salt's  Proxy  Minion  system,  please  read  the  Salt  Proxy Minion
          documentation and the Salt Proxy Minion End-to-End Example tutorial.

          The third  assumption  that  this  tutorial  makes  is  that  you  also  have  a  basic
          understanding  of  ESXi  hosts. You can learn more about ESXi hosts on VMware's various
          resources.

       Salt's ESXi Proxy Minion allows a VMware ESXi host to be treated  as  an  individual  Salt
       Minion, without installing a Salt Minion on the ESXi host.

       Since an ESXi host may not necessarily run on an OS capable of hosting a Python stack, the
       ESXi host can't run a  regular  Salt  Minion  directly.  Therefore,  Salt's  Proxy  Minion
       functionality  enables  you  to  designate  another  machine  to host a proxy process that
       "proxies" communication from the Salt Master to the ESXi host.  The master does  not  know
       or care that the ESXi target is not a "real" Salt Minion.

       More in-depth conceptual reading on Proxy Minions can be found in the Proxy Minion section
       of Salt's documentation.

       Salt's ESXi Proxy Minion was added in the 2015.8.4 release of Salt.

       NOTE:
          Be aware that some functionality for the ESXi Proxy Minion may depend on  the  type  of
          license attached the ESXi host(s).

          For  example,  certain  services  are  only  available  to  manipulate service state or
          policies with a VMware vSphere Enterprise or Enterprise Plus license, while others  are
          available with a Standard license. The ntpd service is restricted to an Enterprise Plus
          license, while ssh is available via the Standard license.

          Please see the vSphere Comparison page for more information.

   Dependencies
       Manipulation of the ESXi host via a Proxy Minion requires the machine  running  the  Proxy
       Minion  process  to  have the ESXCLI package (and all of its dependencies) and the pyVmomi
       Python Library to be installed.

   ESXi Password
       The ESXi Proxy Minion uses VMware's API to perform tasks on  the  host  as  if  it  was  a
       regular  Salt Minion. In order to access the API that is already running on the ESXi host,
       the ESXi host must have a username and password that is used to log  into  the  host.  The
       username is usually root. Before Salt can access the ESXi host via VMware's API, a default
       password must be set on the host.

   pyVmomi
       The pyVmomi Python library must be installed on the machine  that  is  running  the  proxy
       process. pyVmomi can be installed via pip:

          pip install pyVmomi

       NOTE:
          Version 6.0 of pyVmomi has some problems with SSL error handling on certain versions of
          Python. If using version 6.0 of pyVmomi, the machine that you  are  running  the  proxy
          minion process from must have either Python 2.6, Python 2.7.9, or newer. This is due to
          an upstream dependency in pyVmomi 6.0 that is not supported in Python  version  2.7  to
          2.7.8.  If  the  version  of  Python  running the proxy process is not in the supported
          range, you will need to install an earlier version of pyVmomi.  See  Issue  #29537  for
          more information.

       Based  on  the  note  above,  to  install  an  earlier version of pyVmomi than the version
       currently listed in PyPi, run the following:

          pip install pyVmomi==5.5.0.2014.1.1

       The 5.5.0.2014.1.1 is a known stable version that  the  original  ESXi  Proxy  Minion  was
       developed against.

   ESXCLI
       Currently,  about  a  third  of  the  functions used for the ESXi Proxy Minion require the
       ESXCLI package be installed on the machine running the Proxy Minion process.

       The ESXCLI package is also referred to as the VMware vSphere CLI, or vCLI. VMware provides
       vCLI package installation instructions for vSphere 5.5 and vSphere 6.0.

       Once  all of the required dependencies are in place and the vCLI package is installed, you
       can check to see if you can connect to your ESXi host by running the following command:

          esxcli -s <host-location> -u <username> -p <password> system syslog config get

       If the connection was successful, ESXCLI was successfully installed on your  system.   You
       should see output related to the ESXi host's syslog configuration.

   Configuration
       There  are  several  places where various configuration values need to be set in order for
       the ESXi Proxy Minion to run and connect properly.

   Proxy Config File
       On the machine that will be running the Proxy Minion process(es), a proxy config file must
       be  in  place. This file should be located in the /etc/salt/ directory and should be named
       proxy. If the file is not there by default, create it.

       This file should contain the location of your Salt Master that the Salt Proxy will connect
       to.

       Example Proxy Config File:

          # /etc/salt/proxy

          master: <salt-master-location>

   Pillar Profiles
       Proxy  minions  get their configuration from Salt's Pillar. Every proxy must have a stanza
       in Pillar and a reference in the Pillar top-file that matches the Proxy ID. At  a  minimum
       for communication with the ESXi host, the pillar should look like this:

          proxy:
            proxytype: esxi
            host: <ip or dns name of esxi host>
            username: <ESXi username>
            passwords:
              - first_password
              - second_password
              - third_password

       Some  other  optional  settings  are  protocol  and port. These can be added to the pillar
       configuration.

   proxytype
       The proxytype key and value pair is critical, as it tells Salt  which  interface  to  load
       from the proxy directory in Salt's install hierarchy, or from /srv/salt/_proxy on the Salt
       Master (if you have created your own proxy module, for example). To use  this  ESXi  Proxy
       Module, set this to esxi.

   host
       The location, or ip/dns, of the ESXi host. Required.

   username
       The username used to login to the ESXi host, such as root. Required.

   passwords
       A list of passwords to be used to try and login to the ESXi host. At least one password in
       this list is required.

       The proxy integration will try the passwords listed in order. It is configured this way so
       you  can  have  a  regular  password and the password you may be updating for an ESXi host
       either  via  the  vsphere.update_host_password  execution  module  function  or  via   the
       esxi.password_present  state function. This way, after the password is changed, you should
       not need to restart the proxy minion--it should just pick up the new password provided  in
       the list. You can then change pillar at will to move that password to the front and retire
       the unused ones.

       Use-case/reasoning for using a list of passwords: You are setting up an ESXi host for  the
       first  time, and the host comes with a default password.  You know that you'll be changing
       this password during your initial setup from the default to a new password.  If  you  only
       have  one  password  option,  and  if  you  have a state changing the password, any remote
       execution commands or states that run after the password change will not be able to run on
       the  host  until  the  password  is  updated  in  Pillar  and  the Proxy Minion process is
       restarted.

       This allows you to use any number of potential fallback passwords.

       NOTE:
          When a password is changed on the host to one in the list of  possible  passwords,  the
          further  down  on the list the password is, the longer individual commands will take to
          return. This is due to the nature of pyVmomi's login system. We have to  wait  for  the
          first attempt to fail before trying the next password on the list.

          This  scenario is especially true, and even slower, when the proxy minion first starts.
          If the correct password is not the first password on the list, it  may  take  up  to  a
          minute  for  test.version  to respond with salt's version installed (Example: 2018.3.4.
          Once the initial authorization is complete, the responses for commands will be a little
          faster.

          To avoid these longer waiting periods, SaltStack recommends moving the correct password
          to the top of the list and restarting the proxy minion at your earliest convenience.

   protocol
       If the ESXi host is not using the  default  protocol,  set  this  value  to  an  alternate
       protocol. Default is https. For example:

   port
       If  the  ESXi  host  is  not  using the default port, set this value to an alternate port.
       Default is 443.

   Example Configuration Files
       An example of all of the basic configurations that need to be in place before starting the
       Proxy Minion processes includes the Proxy Config File, Pillar Top File, and any individual
       Proxy Minion Pillar files.

       In this example, we'll assuming there are two ESXi hosts to connect to.  Therefore,  we'll
       be creating two Proxy Minion config files, one config for each ESXi host.

       Proxy Config File:

          # /etc/salt/proxy

          master: <salt-master-location>

       Pillar Top File:

          # /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            'esxi-1':
              - esxi-1
            'esxi-2':
              - esxi-2

       Pillar Config File for the first ESXi host, esxi-1:

          # /srv/pillar/esxi-1.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: esxi
            host: esxi-1.example.com
            username: 'root'
            passwords:
              - bad-password-1
              - backup-bad-password-1

       Pillar Config File for the second ESXi host, esxi-2:

          # /srv/pillar/esxi-2.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: esxi
            host: esxi-2.example.com
            username: 'root'
            passwords:
              - bad-password-2
              - backup-bad-password-2

   Starting the Proxy Minion
       Once  all  of  the correct configuration files are in place, it is time to start the proxy
       processes!

       1. First, make sure your Salt Master is running.

       2. Start the first Salt Proxy, in debug mode, by giving the Proxy Minion  process  and  ID
          that matches the config file name created in the Configuration section.

          salt-proxy --proxyid='esxi-1' -l debug

       1. Accept the esxi-1 Proxy Minion's key on the Salt Master:

          # salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-1
          Rejected Keys:
          #
          # salt-key -a esxi-1
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-1
          Proceed? [n/Y] y
          Key for minion esxi-1 accepted.

       1. Repeat for the second Salt Proxy, this time we'll run the proxy process as a daemon, as
          an example.

          salt-proxy --proxyid='esxi-2' -d

       1. Accept the esxi-2 Proxy Minion's key on the Salt Master:

          # salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          esxi-1
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-2
          Rejected Keys:
          #
          # salt-key -a esxi-1
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          esxi-2
          Proceed? [n/Y] y
          Key for minion esxi-1 accepted.

       1. Check and see if your Proxy Minions are responding:

          # salt 'esxi-*' test.version
          esxi-1:
              True
          esxi-3:
              True

   Executing Commands
       Now that you've configured your Proxy Minions and have them responding successfully  to  a
       test.version, we can start executing commands against the ESXi hosts via Salt.

       It's  important  to  understand how this particular proxy works, and there are a couple of
       important pieces to be aware of in order to  start  running  remote  execution  and  state
       commands  against the ESXi host via a Proxy Minion: the vSphere Execution Module, the ESXi
       Execution Module, and the ESXi State Module.

   vSphere Execution Module
       The Salt.modules.vsphere is a standard Salt execution module that does  the  bulk  of  the
       work  for  the  ESXi  Proxy  Minion. If you pull up the docs for it you'll see that almost
       every function in the module takes credentials (username and password) and a  target  host
       argument. When credentials and a host aren't passed, Salt runs commands through pyVmomi or
       ESXCLI against the local machine. If you wanted, you could run functions from this  module
       on  any machine where an appropriate version of pyVmomi and ESXCLI are installed, and that
       machine would reach out over the network and communicate with the ESXi host.

       You'll notice that most of the functions in the vSphere module require a  host,  username,
       and password. These parameters are contained in the Pillar files and passed through to the
       function via the proxy process that is already running. You don't need  to  provide  these
       parameters  when  you  execute  the  commands.  See  the Running Remote Execution Commands
       section below for an example.

   ESXi Execution Module
       In order for the Pillar information set up in the Configuration section above to be passed
       to  the  function  call  in  the vSphere Execution Module, the salt.modules.esxi execution
       module acts as a "shim" between the vSphere  execution  module  functions  and  the  proxy
       process.

       The  "shim"  takes the authentication credentials specified in the Pillar files and passes
       them through to the host, username, password,  and  optional  protocol  and  port  options
       required by the vSphere Execution Module functions.

       If  the  function  takes more positional, or keyword, arguments you can append them to the
       call. It's this shim that speaks to the ESXi host through the  proxy,  arranging  for  the
       credentials and hostname to be pulled from the Pillar section for the ESXi Proxy Minion.

       Because  of  the  presence of the shim, to lookup documentation for what functions you can
       use to interface with the ESXi host, you'll want to look in  salt.modules.vsphere  instead
       of salt.modules.esxi.

   Running Remote Execution Commands
       To  run  commands  from the Salt Master to execute, via the ESXi Proxy Minion, against the
       ESXi host, you use the esxi.cmd <vsphere-function-name> syntax to call  functions  located
       in the vSphere Execution Module. Both args and kwargs needed for various vsphere execution
       module functions must be passed through in a kwarg- type manor. For example:

          salt 'esxi-*' esxi.cmd system_info
          salt 'exsi-*' esxi.cmd get_service_running service_name='ssh'

   ESXi State Module
       The ESXi State Module functions similarly to other state modules. The "shim"  provided  by
       the  ESXi  Execution  Module passes the necessary host, username, and password credentials
       through, so those options don't need to be provided in the state. Other than  that,  state
       files  are  written and executed just like any other Salt state. See the salt.modules.esxi
       state for ESXi state functions.

       The follow state file is an example of how to configure various pieces  of  an  ESXi  host
       including  enabling  SSH,  uploading  and  SSH key, configuring a coredump network config,
       syslog, ntp, enabling VMotion, resetting a host password, and more.

   HTTP Modules
       This  tutorial  demonstrates  using  the  various  HTTP  modules available in Salt.  These
       modules wrap the Python tornado, urllib2, and requests  libraries,  extending  them  in  a
       manner that is more consistent with Salt workflows.

   The salt.utils.http Library
       This  library forms the core of the HTTP modules. Since it is designed to be used from the
       minion as an execution module, in addition to the master as a runner,  it  was  abstracted
       into  this  multi-use  library.  This  library  can also be imported by 3rd-party programs
       wishing to take advantage of its extended functionality.

       Core functionality of the execution, state,  and  runner  modules  is  derived  from  this
       library,  so common usages between them are described here. Documentation specific to each
       module is described below.

       This library can be imported with:

          import salt.utils.http

   Configuring Libraries
       This library can make use of either tornado, which is required  by  Salt,  urllib2,  which
       ships  with  Python,  or  requests, which can be installed separately. By default, tornado
       will be used. In order to switch to urllib2, set the following variable:

          backend: urllib2

       In order to switch to requests, set the following variable:

          backend: requests

       This can be set in the master or  minion  configuration  file,  or  passed  as  an  option
       directly to any http.query() functions.

   salt.utils.http.query()
       This  function  forms  a  basic  query,  but with some add-ons not present in the tornado,
       urllib2, and requests libraries.  Not  all  functionality  currently  available  in  these
       libraries has been added, but can be in future iterations.

   HTTPS Request Methods
       A basic query can be performed by calling this function with no more than a single URL:

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com")

       By  default  the  query  will be performed with a GET method. The method can be overridden
       with the method argument:

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com/delete/url", "DELETE")

       When using the POST method (and others, such as PUT), extra data is usually sent as  well.
       This  data  can  be  sent  directly  (would be URL encoded when necessary), or in whatever
       format is required by the remote server (XML, JSON, plain text, etc).

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url", method="POST", data=json.dumps(mydict)
          )

   Data Formatting and Templating
       Bear in mind that the data must be sent pre-formatted; this function will  not  format  it
       for you. However, a templated file stored on the local system may be passed through, along
       with variables to populate it with. To pass through only the file (untemplated):

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url", method="POST", data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.xml"
          )

       To pass through a file that contains jinja + yaml templating (the default):

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.jinja",
              data_render=True,
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
          )

       To pass through a file that contains mako templating:

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.mako",
              data_render=True,
              data_renderer="mako",
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
          )

       Because this function uses Salt's own rendering system, any Salt  renderer  can  be  used.
       Because  Salt's  renderer requires __opts__ to be set, an opts dictionary should be passed
       in. If it is not, then the default __opts__ values for the node type  (master  or  minion)
       will  be  used. Because this library is intended primarily for use by minions, the default
       node type is minion.  However, this can be changed to master if necessary.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.jinja",
              data_render=True,
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
              opts=__opts__,
          )

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/post/url",
              method="POST",
              data_file="/srv/salt/somefile.jinja",
              data_render=True,
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
              node="master",
          )

   Headers
       Headers may also be passed through, either as  a  header_list,  a  header_dict,  or  as  a
       header_file.  As with the data_file, the header_file may also be templated. Take note that
       because HTTP headers are normally syntactically-correct YAML, they will  automatically  be
       imported as an a Python dict.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com/delete/url",
              method="POST",
              header_file="/srv/salt/headers.jinja",
              header_render=True,
              header_renderer="jinja",
              template_dict={"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"},
          )

       Because much of the data that would be templated between headers and data may be the same,
       the template_dict is the same for both. Correcting possible variable name collisions is up
       to the user.

   Authentication
       The  query()  function  supports basic HTTP authentication. A username and password may be
       passed in as username and password, respectively.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", username="larry", password="5700g3543v4r")

   Cookies and Sessions
       Cookies are also supported, using Python's built-in cookielib. However,  they  are  turned
       off by default. To turn cookies on, set cookies to True.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", cookies=True)

       By  default  cookies  are stored in Salt's cache directory, normally /var/cache/salt, as a
       file called cookies.txt. However,  this  location  may  be  changed  with  the  cookie_jar
       argument:

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com", cookies=True, cookie_jar="/path/to/cookie_jar.txt"
          )

       By  default,  the  format  of  the cookie jar is LWP (aka, lib-www-perl). This default was
       chosen because it is a human-readable text file. If desired, the format of the cookie  jar
       can be set to Mozilla:

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com",
              cookies=True,
              cookie_jar="/path/to/cookie_jar.txt",
              cookie_format="mozilla",
          )

       Because  Salt commands are normally one-off commands that are piped together, this library
       cannot normally behave as a normal browser,  with  session  cookies  that  persist  across
       multiple  HTTP  requests.  However, the session can be persisted in a separate cookie jar.
       The default filename for this file, inside Salt's cache directory,  is  cookies.session.p.
       This can also be changed.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com", persist_session=True, session_cookie_jar="/path/to/jar.p"
          )

       The  format  of  this file is msgpack, which is consistent with much of the rest of Salt's
       internal structure. Historically, the extension for this file is .p. There are no  current
       plans to make this configurable.

   Proxy
       If  the  tornado backend is used (tornado is the default), proxy information configured in
       proxy_host, proxy_port, proxy_username, proxy_password  and  no_proxy  from  the  __opts__
       dictionary will be used.  Normally these are set in the minion configuration file.

          proxy_host: proxy.my-domain
          proxy_port: 31337
          proxy_username: charon
          proxy_password: obolus
          no_proxy: ['127.0.0.1', 'localhost']

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", opts=__opts__, backend="tornado")

   Return Data
       NOTE:
          Return data encoding

          If  decode  is set to True, query() will attempt to decode the return data. decode_type
          defaults to auto.  Set it to  a  specific  encoding,  xml,  for  example,  to  override
          autodetection.

       Because  Salt's  http  library  was designed to be used with REST interfaces, query() will
       attempt to decode the data received from the remote server when decode  is  set  to  True.
       First  it will check the Content-type header to try and find references to XML. If it does
       not find any, it will look for references to JSON. If it does not find any, it  will  fall
       back to plain text, which will not be decoded.

       JSON  data  is  translated  into  a  dict  using  Python's  built-in json library.  XML is
       translated using salt.utils.xml_util, which will use Python's built-in  XML  libraries  to
       attempt to convert the XML into a dict. In order to force either JSON or XML decoding, the
       decode_type may be set:

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", decode_type="xml")

       Once translated, the return dict from query() will include a dict called dict.

       If the data is not to be translated using one of these methods,  decoding  may  be  turned
       off.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", decode=False)

       If  decoding is turned on, and references to JSON or XML cannot be found, then this module
       will default to plain text, and return the undecoded data as text (even if text is set  to
       False; see below).

       The  query()  function  can return the HTTP status code, headers, and/or text as required.
       However, each must individually be turned on.

          salt.utils.http.query("http://example.com", status=True, headers=True, text=True)

       The return from these will be found in the  return  dict  as  status,  headers  and  text,
       respectively.

   Writing Return Data to Files
       It  is  possible  to  write  either  the  return  data or headers to files, as soon as the
       response is received from the server, but specifying file locations via  the  text_out  or
       headers_out arguments. text and headers do not need to be returned to the user in order to
       do this.

          salt.utils.http.query(
              "http://example.com",
              text=False,
              headers=False,
              text_out="/path/to/url_download.txt",
              headers_out="/path/to/headers_download.txt",
          )

   SSL Verification
       By default, this function will verify SSL certificates. However, for testing or  debugging
       purposes, SSL verification can be turned off.

          salt.utils.http.query("https://example.com", verify_ssl=False)

   CA Bundles
       The  requests  library  has  its  own method of detecting which CA (certificate authority)
       bundle file to use. Usually this is implemented by the packager for the specific operating
       system distribution that you are using. However, urllib2 requires a little more work under
       the hood. By default, Salt will try to auto-detect the location of this file. However,  if
       it  is  not  in an expected location, or a different path needs to be specified, it may be
       done so using the ca_bundle variable.

          salt.utils.http.query("https://example.com", ca_bundle="/path/to/ca_bundle.pem")

   Updating CA Bundles
       The update_ca_bundle() function can be used to update  the  bundle  file  at  a  specified
       location. If the target location is not specified, then it will attempt to auto-detect the
       location of the bundle file. If the URL to download the bundle  from  does  not  exist,  a
       bundle will be downloaded from the cURL website.

       CAUTION:  The  target  and  the  source should always be specified! Failure to specify the
       target may result in the file being written to the wrong location  on  the  local  system.
       Failure  to  specify  the  source may cause the upstream URL to receive excess unnecessary
       traffic, and may cause a file to be download which is hazardous or does not meet the needs
       of the user.

          salt.utils.http.update_ca_bundle(
              target="/path/to/ca-bundle.crt",
              source="https://example.com/path/to/ca-bundle.crt",
              opts=__opts__,
          )

       The  opts  parameter  should  also  always be specified. If it is, then the target and the
       source may be specified in the relevant configuration file (master or minion) as ca_bundle
       and ca_bundle_url, respectively.

          ca_bundle: /path/to/ca-bundle.crt
          ca_bundle_url: https://example.com/path/to/ca-bundle.crt

       If Salt is unable to auto-detect the location of the CA bundle, it will raise an error.

       The  update_ca_bundle()  function  can  also be passed a string or a list of strings which
       represent files on the local system, which should be appended (in the specified order)  to
       the  end of the CA bundle file. This is useful in environments where private certs need to
       be made available, and are not otherwise reasonable to add to the bundle file.

          salt.utils.http.update_ca_bundle(
              opts=__opts__,
              merge_files=[
                  "/etc/ssl/private_cert_1.pem",
                  "/etc/ssl/private_cert_2.pem",
                  "/etc/ssl/private_cert_3.pem",
              ],
          )

   Test Mode
       This function may be run in test mode. This mode will perform all work up until the actual
       HTTP  request.  By  default,  instead  of  performing  the  request, an empty dict will be
       returned. Using this function with TRACE logging turned on will reveal the contents of the
       headers and POST data to be sent.

       Rather  than  returning an empty dict, an alternate test_url may be passed in.  If this is
       detected, then test mode will replace the url with the test_url, set test to True  in  the
       return  data,  and  perform  the  rest of the requested operations as usual. This allows a
       custom, non-destructive URL to be used for testing when necessary.

   Execution Module
       The http execution module is a very thin wrapper around the salt.utils.http  library.  The
       opts  can  be  passed  through as well, but if they are not specified, the minion defaults
       will be used as necessary.

       Because passing complete data structures from the command line can be tricky at  best  and
       dangerous  (in  terms  of  execution  injection  attacks)  at  worse,  the  data_file, and
       header_file are likely to see more use here.

       All methods for the library are available in the execution module, as kwargs.

          salt myminion http.query http://example.com/restapi method=POST \
              username='larry' password='5700g3543v4r' headers=True text=True \
              status=True decode_type=xml data_render=True \
              header_file=/tmp/headers.txt data_file=/tmp/data.txt \
              header_render=True cookies=True persist_session=True

   Runner Module
       Like the execution module, the http runner module  is  a  very  thin  wrapper  around  the
       salt.utils.http  library.  The only significant difference is that because runners execute
       on the master instead of a minion, a target is not required,  and  default  opts  will  be
       derived from the master config, rather than the minion config.

       All methods for the library are available in the runner module, as kwargs.

          salt-run http.query http://example.com/restapi method=POST \
              username='larry' password='5700g3543v4r' headers=True text=True \
              status=True decode_type=xml data_render=True \
              header_file=/tmp/headers.txt data_file=/tmp/data.txt \
              header_render=True cookies=True persist_session=True

   State Module
       The  state module is a wrapper around the runner module, which applies stateful logic to a
       query. All kwargs as listed above are specified as usual in  state  files,  but  two  more
       kwargs  are  available  to  apply  stateful  logic.  A  required parameter is match, which
       specifies a pattern to look for in the return text. By default, this will perform a string
       comparison  of  looking  for  the  value of match in the return text. In Python terms this
       looks like:

          def myfunc():
              if match in html_text:
                  return True

       If more complex pattern matching  is  required,  a  regular  expression  can  be  used  by
       specifying  a  match_type. By default this is set to string, but it can be manually set to
       pcre instead. Please note that despite the name, this will use Python's re.search() rather
       than re.match().

       Therefore, the following states are valid:

          http://example.com/restapi:
            http.query:
              - match: 'SUCCESS'
              - username: 'larry'
              - password: '5700g3543v4r'
              - data_render: True
              - header_file: /tmp/headers.txt
              - data_file: /tmp/data.txt
              - header_render: True
              - cookies: True
              - persist_session: True

          http://example.com/restapi:
            http.query:
              - match_type: pcre
              - match: '(?i)succe[ss|ed]'
              - username: 'larry'
              - password: '5700g3543v4r'
              - data_render: True
              - header_file: /tmp/headers.txt
              - data_file: /tmp/data.txt
              - header_render: True
              - cookies: True
              - persist_session: True

       In  addition  to, or instead of a match pattern, the status code for a URL can be checked.
       This is done using the status argument:

          http://example.com/:
            http.query:
              - status: 200

       If both are specified, both will be checked, but if only one is  True  and  the  other  is
       False,  then  False  will  be returned. In this case, the comments in the return data will
       contain information for troubleshooting.

       Because this is a monitoring state, it will return extra data to  code  that  expects  it.
       This  data  will  always include text and status. Optionally, headers and dict may also be
       requested by setting the headers and decode arguments to True, respectively.

   Using Salt at scale
       The focus of this tutorial will be building  a  Salt  infrastructure  for  handling  large
       numbers of minions. This will include tuning, topology, and best practices.

       For how to install the Salt Master please go here: Installing saltstack

       NOTE:
          This  tutorial  is intended for large installations, although these same settings won't
          hurt, it may not be worth the complexity to smaller installations.

          When used with minions, the term 'many' refers to at  least  a  thousand  and  'a  few'
          always means 500.

          For simplicity reasons, this tutorial will default to the standard ports used by Salt.

   The Master
       The most common problems on the Salt Master are:

       1. too many minions authing at once

       2. too many minions re-authing at once

       3. too many minions re-connecting at once

       4. too many minions returning at once

       5. too few resources (CPU/HDD)

       The  first  three  are  all  "thundering  herd" problems. To mitigate these issues we must
       configure the minions to back-off appropriately when the Master is under heavy load.

       The fourth is caused by masters with little  hardware  resources  in  combination  with  a
       possible bug in ZeroMQ. At least that's what it looks like till today (Issue 118651, Issue
       5948, Mail thread)

       To fully understand each problem, it is important to understand, how Salt works.

       Very briefly, the Salt Master offers two services to the minions.

       • a job publisher on port 4505

       • an open port 4506 to receive the minions returns

       All minions are always connected to the publisher on port 4505 and  only  connect  to  the
       open  return  port 4506 if necessary. On an idle Master, there will only be connections on
       port 4505.

   Too many minions authing
       When the Minion service is first started up, it will connect to its Master's publisher  on
       port  4505.  If  too many minions are started at once, this can cause a "thundering herd".
       This can be avoided by not starting too many minions at once.

       The connection itself usually isn't the culprit, the  more  likely  cause  of  master-side
       issues is the authentication that the Minion must do with the Master. If the Master is too
       heavily loaded to handle the auth request it will time it out. The Minion will  then  wait
       acceptance_wait_time  to  retry.  If  acceptance_wait_time_max is set then the Minion will
       increase its wait time by the acceptance_wait_time each subsequent  retry  until  reaching
       acceptance_wait_time_max.

   Too many minions re-authing
       This  is  most likely to happen in the testing phase of a Salt deployment, when all Minion
       keys have already been accepted, but the framework is  being  tested  and  parameters  are
       frequently changed in the Salt Master's configuration file(s).

       The Salt Master generates a new AES key to encrypt its publications at certain events such
       as a Master restart or the removal of a Minion key.  If you are encountering this  problem
       of too many minions re-authing against the Master, you will need to recalibrate your setup
       to reduce the rate of events like a Master restart or Minion key removal (salt-key -d).

       When the Master generates a new AES key, the minions aren't  notified  of  this  but  will
       discover  it on the next pub job they receive. When the Minion receives such a job it will
       then re-auth with the Master. Since Salt does minion-side filtering this  means  that  all
       the  minions  will  re-auth  on the next command published on the master-- causing another
       "thundering herd". This can be avoided by setting the

          random_reauth_delay: 60

       in the minions configuration file to a higher value and  stagger  the  amount  of  re-auth
       attempts.  Increasing  this  value  will  of  course  increase the time it takes until all
       minions are reachable via Salt commands.

   Too many minions re-connecting
       By default the zmq socket will re-connect every 100ms which for some larger  installations
       may be too quick. This will control how quickly the TCP session is re-established, but has
       no bearing on the auth load.

       To tune the minions sockets reconnect attempts, there are  a  few  values  in  the  sample
       configuration file (default values)

          recon_default: 1000
          recon_max: 5000
          recon_randomize: True

       • recon_default:  the  default  value  the  socket should use, i.e. 1000. This value is in
         milliseconds. (1000ms = 1 second)

       • recon_max: the max value that the  socket  should  use  as  a  delay  before  trying  to
         reconnect This value is in milliseconds. (5000ms = 5 seconds)

       • recon_randomize: enables randomization between recon_default and recon_max

       To tune this values to an existing environment, a few decision have to be made.

       1. How long can one wait, before the minions should be online and reachable via Salt?

       2. How many reconnects can the Master handle without a syn flood?

       These  questions  can  not be answered generally. Their answers depend on the hardware and
       the administrators requirements.

       Here is an example scenario with the goal, to have  all  minions  reconnect  within  a  60
       second time-frame on a Salt Master service restart.

          recon_default: 1000
          recon_max: 59000
          recon_randomize: True

       Each   Minion   will  have  a  randomized  reconnect  value  between  'recon_default'  and
       'recon_default + recon_max', which in this example means between 1000ms  and  60000ms  (or
       between  1  and 60 seconds). The generated random-value will be doubled after each attempt
       to reconnect (ZeroMQ default behavior).

       Lets say the generated random value is 11 seconds (or 11000ms).

          reconnect 1: wait 11 seconds
          reconnect 2: wait 22 seconds
          reconnect 3: wait 33 seconds
          reconnect 4: wait 44 seconds
          reconnect 5: wait 55 seconds
          reconnect 6: wait time is bigger than 60 seconds (recon_default + recon_max)
          reconnect 7: wait 11 seconds
          reconnect 8: wait 22 seconds
          reconnect 9: wait 33 seconds
          reconnect x: etc.

       With a thousand minions this will mean

          1000/60 = ~16

       round about 16 connection attempts a second. These values should be altered to values that
       match  your  environment.  Keep  in  mind though, that it may grow over time and that more
       minions might raise the problem again.

   Too many minions returning at once
       This can also happen during the testing phase, if all minions are addressed at once with

          $ salt * disk.usage

       it may cause thousands of minions trying to return their data to the Salt Master open port
       4506.  Also  causing  a flood of syn-flood if the Master can't handle that many returns at
       once.

       This can be easily avoided with Salt's batch mode:

          $ salt * disk.usage -b 50

       This will only address 50 minions at once while looping through all addressed minions.

   Too few resources
       The masters resources always have to match the environment. There is no way to  give  good
       advise  without  knowing  the  environment the Master is supposed to run in.  But here are
       some general tuning tips for different situations:

   The Master is CPU bound
       Salt uses RSA-Key-Pairs on the masters and minions end. Both generate 4096  bit  key-pairs
       on  first  start.  While  the  key-size  for the Master is currently not configurable, the
       minions keysize can be configured with different key-sizes. For example with  a  2048  bit
       key:

          keysize: 2048

       With  thousands  of  decryptions,  the amount of time that can be saved on the masters end
       should not be neglected. See here for reference: Pull Request 9235 how much influence  the
       key-size can have.

       Downsizing the Salt Master's key is not that important, because the minions do not encrypt
       as many messages as the Master does.

       In installations with large or with complex pillar files, it is possible for the master to
       exhibit  poor  performance as a result of having to render many pillar files at once. This
       exhibit itself in a number of ways, both as high load on the master and on  minions  which
       block on waiting for their pillar to be delivered to them.

       To  reduce  pillar  rendering  times, it is possible to cache pillars on the master. To do
       this, see the set of master configuration options which are prefixed with pillar_cache.

       If many pillars are encrypted using gpg renderer, it is possible to cache GPG data. To  do
       this, see the set of master configuration options which are prefixed with gpg_cache.

       NOTE:
          Caching  pillars  or  GPG  data on the master may introduce security considerations. Be
          certain to read caveats outlined in the master configuration  file  to  understand  how
          pillar caching may affect a master's ability to protect sensitive data!

   The Master is disk IO bound
       By  default,  the  Master  saves every Minion's return for every job in its job-cache. The
       cache can then be used later, to lookup results for previous jobs. The  default  directory
       for this is:

          cachedir: /var/cache/salt

       and then in the /proc directory.

       Each  job  return for every Minion is saved in a single file. Over time this directory can
       grow quite large, depending on the number of published  jobs.  The  amount  of  files  and
       directories will scale with the number of jobs published and the retention time defined by

          keep_jobs: 24

          250 jobs/day * 2000 minions returns = 500,000 files a day

   Use and External Job Cache
       An external job cache allows for job storage to be placed on an external system, such as a
       database.

       • ext_job_cache: this will have the minions  store  their  return  data  directly  into  a
         returner (not sent through the Master)

       • master_job_cache (New in 2014.7.0): this will make the Master store the job data using a
         returner (instead of the local job cache on disk).

       If a master has many accepted keys, it may take a long time to publish a job  because  the
       master  must first determine the matching minions and deliver that information back to the
       waiting client before the job can be published.

       To mitigate this, a key cache may be enabled. This will reduce the load on the master to a
       single file open instead of thousands or tens of thousands.

       This  cache  is updated by the maintanence process, however, which means that minions with
       keys that are accepted may not be targeted by the  master  for  up  to  sixty  seconds  by
       default.

       To enable the master key cache, set key_cache: 'sched' in the master configuration file.

   Disable The Job Cache
       The  job  cache  is  a  central  component of the Salt Master and many aspects of the Salt
       Master will not function correctly without a running job cache.

       Disabling the job cache is STRONGLY DISCOURAGED and should not be done unless  the  master
       is being used to execute routines that require no history or reliable feedback!

       The job cache can be disabled:

          job_cache: False

   How to Convert Jinja Logic to an Execution Module
       NOTE:
          This  tutorial  assumes  a  basic  knowledge of Salt states and specifically experience
          using the maps.jinja idiom.

          This tutorial was written by a salt user who  was  told  "if  your  maps.jinja  is  too
          complicated,  write  an  execution  module!".  If you are experiencing over-complicated
          jinja, read on.

   The Problem: Jinja Gone Wild
       It is often said in the Salt  community  that  "Jinja  is  not  a  Programming  Language".
       There's an even older saying known as Maslow's hammer.  It goes something like "if all you
       have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail".  Jinja is a reliable hammer,  and  so  is
       the maps.jinja idiom.  Unfortunately, it can lead to code that looks like the following.

          # storage/maps.yaml

          {% import_yaml 'storage/defaults.yaml' as default_settings %}
          {% set storage = default_settings.storage %}
          {% do storage.update(salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
              },
              'RedHat': {
              }
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('storage:lookup'))) %}

          {% if 'VirtualBox' == grains.get('virtual', None) or 'oracle' == grains.get('virtual', None) %}
          {%   do storage.update({'depot_ip': '192.168.33.81', 'server_ip':  '192.168.33.51'}) %}
          {% else %}
          {%   set colo = pillar.get('inventory', {}).get('colo', 'Unknown') %}
          {%   set servers_list = pillar.get('storage_servers', {}).get(colo, [storage.depot_ip, ]) %}
          {%   if opts.id.startswith('foo') %}
          {%     set modulus = servers_list | count %}
          {%     set integer_id = opts.id | replace('foo', '') | int %}
          {%     set server_index = integer_id % modulus %}
          {%   else %}
          {%     set server_index = 0 %}
          {%   endif %}
          {%   do storage.update({'server_ip': servers_list[server_index]}) %}
          {% endif %}

          {% for network, _ in salt.pillar.get('inventory:networks', {}) | dictsort %}
          {%   do storage.ipsets.hash_net.foo_networks.append(network) %}
          {% endfor %}

       This  is  an example from the author's salt formulae demonstrating misuse of jinja.  Aside
       from being difficult to read  and  maintain,  accessing  the  logic  it  contains  from  a
       non-jinja renderer while probably possible is a significant barrier!

   Refactor
       The first step is to reduce the maps.jinja file to something reasonable.  This gives us an
       idea of what the module we are writing needs to do.   There  is  a  lot  of  logic  around
       selecting a storage server ip.  Let's move that to an execution module.

          # storage/maps.yaml

          {% import_yaml 'storage/defaults.yaml' as default_settings %}
          {% set storage = default_settings.storage %}
          {% do storage.update(salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
              },
              'RedHat': {
              }
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('storage:lookup'))) %}

          {% if 'VirtualBox' == grains.get('virtual', None) or 'oracle' == grains.get('virtual', None) %}
          {%   do storage.update({'depot_ip': '192.168.33.81'}) %}
          {% endif %}

          {% do storage.update({'server_ip': salt['storage.ip']()}) %}

          {% for network, _ in salt.pillar.get('inventory:networks', {}) | dictsort %}
          {%   do storage.ipsets.hash_net.af_networks.append(network) %}
          {% endfor %}

       And  then,  write  the  module.   Note how the module encapsulates all of the logic around
       finding the storage server IP.

          # _modules/storage.py
          #!python

          """

              numerical_suffix = re.compile(r"^.*(\d+)$")
              servers_list = ips()

              m = numerical_suffix.match(__grains__["id"])
              if m:
                  modulus = len(servers_list)
                  server_number = int(m.group(1))
                  server_index = server_number % modulus
              else:
                  server_index = 0

              return servers_list[server_index]

   Conclusion
       That was... surprisingly straight-forward.  Now the logic is available in every  renderer,
       instead  of just Jinja.  Best of all, it can be maintained in Python, which is a whole lot
       easier than Jinja.

   Using Apache Libcloud for declarative and procedural multi-cloud orchestration
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       NOTE:
          This walkthrough assumes basic knowledge of Salt and Salt States. To get up  to  speed,
          check out the Salt Walkthrough.

       Apache  Libcloud  is  a  Python  library  which  hides differences between different cloud
       provider APIs and allows you to manage different cloud resources  through  a  unified  and
       easy  to  use  API.  Apache  Libcloud  supports over 60 cloud platforms, including Amazon,
       Microsoft Azure, DigitalOcean, Google Cloud Platform and OpenStack.

       Execution and state modules are available for Compute,  DNS,  Storage  and  Load  Balancer
       drivers from Apache Libcloud in
              SaltStack.

       •

         libcloud_compute - Compute -
                services such as OpenStack Nova, Amazon EC2, Microsoft Azure VMs

       •

         libcloud_dns - DNS as a Service -
                services such as Amazon Route 53 and Zerigo

       •

         libcloud_loadbalancer - Load Balancers as a Service -
                services such as Amazon Elastic Load Balancer and GoGrid LoadBalancers

       •

         libcloud_storage - Cloud Object Storage and CDN -
                services such as Amazon S3 and Rackspace CloudFiles, OpenStack Swift

       These  modules  are  designed  as a way of having a multi-cloud deployment and abstracting
       simple differences between platform to design a high-availability architecture.

       The Apache Libcloud functionality is available through both  execution  modules  and  Salt
       states.

   Configuring Drivers
       Drivers  can be configured in the Salt Configuration/Minion settings. All libcloud modules
       expect a list of "profiles" to be configured with authentication details for each driver.

       Each  driver  will   have   a   string   identifier,   these   can   be   found   in   the
       libcloud.<api>.types.Provider            class           for           each           API,
       https://libcloud.readthedocs.io/en/latest/supported_providers.html

       Some drivers require additional parameters, which are documented in  the  Apache  Libcloud
       documentation.  For  example,  GoDaddy DNS expects "shopper_id", which is the customer ID.
       These additional parameters can be added to  the  profile  settings  and  will  be  passed
       directly to the driver instantiation method.

          libcloud_dns:
              godaddy:
                  driver: godaddy
                  shopper_id: 90425123
                  key: AFDDJFGIjDFVNSDIFNASMC
                  secret: FG(#f8vdfgjlkm)

          libcloud_storage:
              google:
                  driver: google_storage
                  key: GOOG4ASDIDFNVIdfnIVW
                  secret: R+qYE9hkfdhv89h4invhdfvird4Pq3an8rnK

       You  can  have  multiple  profiles  for  a  single driver, for example if you wanted 2 DNS
       profiles for Amazon Route53, naming them "route53_prod" and "route54_test" would help your
       administrators distinguish their purpose.

          libcloud_dns:
              route53_prod:
                  driver: route53
                  key: AFDDJFGIjDFVNSDIFNASMC
                  secret: FG(#f8vdfgjlkm)
              route53_test:
                  driver: route53
                  key: AFDDJFGIjdfgdfgdf
                  secret: FG(#f8vdfgjlkm)

   Using the execution modules
       Amongst  over  60  clouds that Apache Libcloud supports, you can add profiles to your Salt
       configuration to access and control these clouds.  Each of the libcloud execution  modules
       exposes  the  common  API  methods for controlling Compute, DNS, Load Balancers and Object
       Storage.  To see which functions are supported across specific clouds,  see  the  Libcloud
       supported methods documentation.

       The module documentation explains each of the API methods and how to leverage them.

                      anthonypjshaw

       The  Apache  Libcloud  storage  module  can  be used to synchronize files between multiple
       storage clouds, such as Google Storage, S3 and OpenStack Swift

   Using the state modules
       For each configured profile, the assets  available  in  the  API  (e.g.  storage  objects,
       containers, DNS records and load balancers) can be deployed via Salt's state system.

       The state module documentation explains the specific states that each module supports

                • services such as Amazon S3 and Rackspace CloudFiles, OpenStack Swift

       •

                • services such as Amazon Elastic Load Balancer and GoGrid LoadBalancers

       •

         libcloud_dns - DNS as a Service

                • services such as Amazon Route 53 and Zerigo

       For DNS, the state modules can be used to provide DNS resilience for multiple nameservers,
       for example:

          libcloud_dns:
              godaddy:
                  driver: godaddy
                  shopper_id: 12345
                  key: 2orgk34kgk34g
                  secret: fjgoidhjgoim
              amazon:
                  driver: route53
                  key: blah
                  secret: blah

       And then in a state file:

          webserver:
            libcloud_dns.zone_present:
              name: mywebsite.com
              profile: godaddy
            libcloud_dns.record_present:
              name: www
              zone: mywebsite.com
              type: A
              data: 12.34.32.3
              profile: godaddy
            libcloud_dns.zone_present:
              name: mywebsite.com
              profile: amazon
            libcloud_dns.record_present:
              name: www
              zone: mywebsite.com
              type: A
              data: 12.34.32.3
              profile: amazon

       This could be combined with a multi-cloud load balancer deployment,

          webserver:
            libcloud_dns.zone_present:
              - name: mywebsite.com
              - profile: godaddy
              ...
            libcloud_loadbalancer.balancer_present:

                    port: 80
                  - ip: 2.4.5.6
                    port: 80

              - port: 80
              - protocol: http
              - members:
                  - ip: 1.2.4.5
                    port: 80
                  - ip: 2.4.5.6
                    port: 80
              - profile: amazon_elb

       Extended parameters can be passed to the specific cloud, for example you can  specify  the
       region with the Google Cloud API, because create_balancer can accept a ex_region argument.
       Adding this argument to the state will pass the additional command to the driver.

          lb_test:
              libcloud_loadbalancer.balancer_absent:
                  - name: example
                  - port: 80
                  - protocol: http
                  - profile: google
                  - ex_region: us-east1

   Accessing custom arguments in execution modules
       Some cloud providers have additional functionality that can be accessed on top of the base
       API,  for  example  the  Google  Cloud  Engine load balancer service offers the ability to
       provision load balancers into a specific region.

       Looking at the API documentation,  we  can  see  that  it  expects  an  ex_region  in  the
       create_balancer  method,  so  when we execute the salt command, we can add this additional
       parameter like this:

          $ salt myminion libcloud_storage.create_balancer my_balancer 80 http profile1 ex_region=us-east1
          $ salt myminion libcloud_storage.list_container_objects my_bucket profile1 ex_prefix=me

   Accessing custom methods in Libcloud drivers
       Some cloud APIs have additional methods that are prefixed with  ex_  in  Apache  Libcloud,
       these  methods  are  part  of the non-standard API but can still be accessed from the Salt
       modules for libcloud_storage, libcloud_loadbalancer and libcloud_dns.  The  extra  methods
       are  available  via  the  extra command, which expects the name of the method as the first
       argument, the profile as the second and then accepts a list of keyword arguments  to  pass
       onto the driver method, for example, accessing permissions in Google Storage objects:

          $ salt myminion libcloud_storage.extra ex_get_permissions google container_name=my_container object_name=me.jpg --out=yaml

   Example profiles

       Using  Service  Accounts with GCE, you can provide a path to the JSON file and the project
       name in the parameters.

   LXC Management with Salt
       NOTE:
          This walkthrough assumes basic knowledge of Salt. To get up to  speed,  check  out  the
          Salt Walkthrough.

   Dependencies
       Manipulation  of  LXC  containers in Salt requires the minion to have an LXC version of at
       least  1.0  (an  alpha  or  beta  release  of  LXC  1.0  is  acceptable).   The  following
       distributions are known to have new enough versions of LXC packaged:

       • RHEL/CentOS 6 and later (via EPEL)

       • Fedora (All non-EOL releases)

       • Debian 8.0 (Jessie)

       • Ubuntu  14.04  LTS and later (LXC templates are packaged separately as lxc-templates, it
         is recommended to also install this package)

       • openSUSE 13.2 and later

   Profiles
       Profiles allow for a sort of shorthand for commonly-used configurations to be  defined  in
       the  minion  config  file,  grains,  pillar,  or  the  master  config file. The profile is
       retrieved by Salt using the config.get function, which looks in those locations,  in  that
       order.  This  allows  for profiles to be defined centrally in the master config file, with
       several options for overriding them (if necessary) on  groups  of  minions  or  individual
       minions.

       There are two types of profiles:

          • One for defining the parameters used in container creation/clone.

          • One for defining the container's network interface(s) settings.

   Container Profiles
       LXC container profiles are defined underneath the lxc.container_profile config option:

          lxc.container_profile:
            centos:
              template: centos
              backing: lvm
              vgname: vg1
              lvname: lxclv
              size: 10G
            centos_big:
              template: centos
              backing: lvm
              vgname: vg1
              lvname: lxclv
              size: 20G

       Profiles  are  retrieved  using  the config.get function, with the recurse merge strategy.
       This means that a profile can be defined at a lower level (for example, the master  config
       file)  and  then  parts  of it can be overridden at a higher level (for example, in pillar
       data).  Consider the following container profile data:

       In the Master config file:

          lxc.container_profile:
            centos:
              template: centos
              backing: lvm
              vgname: vg1
              lvname: lxclv
              size: 10G

       In the Pillar data

          lxc.container_profile:
            centos:
              size: 20G

       Any minion with the above Pillar data would have the size parameter in the centos  profile
       overridden  to  20G,  while those minions without the above Pillar data would have the 10G
       size value. This is another way of achieving the same result  as  the  centos_big  profile
       above, without having to define another whole profile that differs in just one value.

       NOTE:
          In  the  2014.7.x  release  cycle  and  earlier,  container  profiles are defined under
          lxc.profile. This parameter will still work in version 2015.5.0, but is deprecated  and
          will  be  removed  in  a  future  release. Please note however that the profile merging
          feature   described   above   will   only   work   with    profiles    defined    under
          lxc.container_profile, and only in versions 2015.5.0 and later.

       Additionally, in version 2015.5.0 container profiles have been expanded to support passing
       template-specific CLI options to lxc.create. Below is a table  describing  the  parameters
       which can be configured in container profiles:

       1. Parameter  is only supported for container creation, and will be ignored if the profile
          is used when cloning a container.

       2. Parameter is only supported for container cloning, and will be ignored if  the  profile
          is used when not cloning a container.

   Network Profiles
       LXC network profiles are defined defined underneath the lxc.network_profile config option.
       By default, the module uses a DHCP based configuration and try to guess a  bridge  to  get
       connectivity.

       WARNING:
          on pre 2015.5.2, you need to specify explicitly the network bridge

          lxc.network_profile:
            centos:
              eth0:
                link: br0
                type: veth
                flags: up
            ubuntu:
              eth0:
                link: lxcbr0
                type: veth
                flags: up

       As  with container profiles, network profiles are retrieved using the config.get function,
       with the recurse merge strategy. Consider the following network profile data:

       In the Master config file:

          lxc.network_profile:
            centos:
              eth0:
                link: br0
                type: veth
                flags: up

       In the Pillar data

          lxc.network_profile:
            centos:
              eth0:
                link: lxcbr0

       Any minion with the above Pillar data  would  use  the  lxcbr0  interface  as  the  bridge
       interface  for  any  container  configured  using  the centos network profile, while those
       minions without the above Pillar data would use the br0 interface for the same.

       NOTE:
          In the 2014.7.x release cycle and earlier, network profiles are defined under  lxc.nic.
          This  parameter  will  still  work  in  version 2015.5.0, but is deprecated and will be
          removed in a future release. Please note  however  that  the  profile  merging  feature
          described  above  will  only  work with profiles defined under lxc.network_profile, and
          only in versions 2015.5.0 and later.

       The following are parameters which can be  configured  in  network  profiles.  These  will
       directly   correspond   to   a   parameter  in  an  LXC  configuration  file  (see  man  5
       lxc.container.conf).

       • type - Corresponds to lxc.network.typelink - Corresponds to lxc.network.linkflags - Corresponds to lxc.network.flags

       Interface-specific  options  (MAC  address,  IPv4/IPv6,  etc.)  must  be   passed   on   a
       container-by-container basis, for instance using the nic_opts argument to lxc.create:

          salt myminion lxc.create container1 profile=centos network_profile=centos nic_opts='{eth0: {ipv4: 10.0.0.20/24, gateway: 10.0.0.1}}'

       WARNING:
          The ipv4, ipv6, gateway, and link (bridge) settings in network profiles / nic_opts will
          only work if the container doesn't redefine the network configuration (for  example  in
          /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface_name>      on      RHEL/CentOS,      or
          /etc/network/interfaces on Debian/Ubuntu/etc.). Use these with caution.  The  container
          images  installed  using  the download template, for instance, typically are configured
          for eth0 to use DHCP, which will conflict with static IP addresses set at the container
          level.

       NOTE:
          For  LXC  <  1.0.7  and DHCP support, set ipv4.gateway: 'auto' is your network profile,
          ie.:

              lxc.network_profile.nic:
                debian:
                  eth0:
                    link: lxcbr0
                    ipv4.gateway: 'auto'

   Old lxc support (<1.0.7)
       With saltstack 2015.5.2 and above, normally  the  setting  is  autoselected,  but  before,
       you'll  need  to  teach  your network profile to set lxc.network.ipv4.gateway to auto when
       using a classic ipv4 configuration.

       Thus you'll need

          lxc.network_profile.foo:
            etho:
              link: lxcbr0
              ipv4.gateway: auto

   Tricky network setups Examples
       This example covers how to make a container with both an internal ip and a public routable
       ip, wired on two veth pairs.

       The  another  interface which receives directly a public routable ip can't be on the first
       interface that we reserve for private inter LXC networking.

          lxc.network_profile.foo:
            eth0: {gateway: null, bridge: lxcbr0}
            eth1:
              # replace that by your main interface
              'link': 'br0'
              'mac': '00:16:5b:01:24:e1'
              'gateway': '2.20.9.14'
              'ipv4': '2.20.9.1'

   Creating a Container on the CLI
   From a Template
       LXC is commonly distributed with several  template  scripts  in  /usr/share/lxc/templates.
       Some  distros  may  package  these separately in an lxc-templates package, so make sure to
       check if this is the case.

       There are LXC template scripts for several different operating systems, but some  of  them
       are  designed  to  use  tools  specific  to a given distribution. For instance, the ubuntu
       template uses deb_bootstrap, the centos template uses yum, etc.,  making  these  templates
       impractical when a container from a different OS is desired.

       The  lxc.create function is used to create containers using a template script. To create a
       CentOS container named container1 on a  CentOS  minion  named  mycentosminion,  using  the
       centos LXC template, one can simply run the following command:

          salt mycentosminion lxc.create container1 template=centos

       For these instances, there is a download template which retrieves minimal container images
       for several different operating systems. To use this template, it is necessary to  provide
       an options parameter when creating the container, with three values:

       1. dist - the Linux distribution (i.e. ubuntu or centos)

       2. release - the release name/version (i.e. trusty or 6)

       3. arch - CPU architecture (i.e. amd64 or i386)

       The  lxc.images  function  (new  in  version  2015.5.0)  can be used to list the available
       images.      Alternatively,      the      releases      can       be       viewed       on
       http://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/. The images are organized in such a way that the
       dist,  release,  and  arch  can  be   determined   using   the   following   URL   format:
       http://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/dist/release/arch.          For          example,
       http://images.linuxcontainers.org/images/centos/6/amd64 would  correspond  to  a  dist  of
       centos, a release of 6, and an arch of amd64.

       Therefore,  to  use  the  download template to create a new 64-bit CentOS 6 container, the
       following command can be used:

          salt myminion lxc.create container1 template=download options='{dist: centos, release: 6, arch: amd64}'

       NOTE:
          These command-line options can be placed into a container profile, like so:

              lxc.container_profile.cent6:
                template: download
                options:
                  dist: centos
                  release: 6
                  arch: amd64

          The options parameter is not supported in profiles for the 2014.7.x release  cycle  and
          earlier, so it would still need to be provided on the command-line.

   Cloning an Existing Container
       To clone a container, use the lxc.clone function:

          salt myminion lxc.clone container2 orig=container1

   Using a Container Image
       While  cloning  is  a  good way to create new containers from a common base container, the
       source container that is being cloned needs to already exist on  the  minion.  This  makes
       deploying a common container across minions difficult.  For this reason, Salt's lxc.create
       is capable of installing a container from a tar archive of another container's rootfs.  To
       create an image of a container named cent6, run the following command as root:

          tar czf cent6.tar.gz -C /var/lib/lxc/cent6 rootfs

       NOTE:
          Before doing this, it is recommended that the container is stopped.

       The  resulting  tarball  can then be placed alongside the files in the salt fileserver and
       referenced using a salt:// URL. To create a  container  using  an  image,  use  the  image
       parameter with lxc.create:

          salt myminion lxc.create new-cent6 image=salt://path/to/cent6.tar.gz

       NOTE:
          Making images of containers with LVM backing

          For containers with LVM backing, the rootfs is not mounted, so it is necessary to mount
          it first before creating the tar  archive.  When  a  container  is  created  using  LVM
          backing,  an empty rootfs dir is handily created within /var/lib/lxc/container_name, so
          this can be used as the  mountpoint.  The  location  of  the  logical  volume  for  the
          container will be /dev/vgname/lvname, where vgname is the name of the volume group, and
          lvname is the name of the logical volume. Therefore, assuming a volume group of vg1,  a
          logical  volume of lxc-cent6, and a container name of cent6, the following commands can
          be used to create a tar archive of the rootfs:

              mount /dev/vg1/lxc-cent6 /var/lib/lxc/cent6/rootfs
              tar czf cent6.tar.gz -C /var/lib/lxc/cent6 rootfs
              umount /var/lib/lxc/cent6/rootfs

       WARNING:
          One caveat of using this method of  container  creation  is  that  /etc/hosts  is  left
          unmodified.   This  could  cause  confusion  for  some  distros if salt-minion is later
          installed on  the  container,  as  the  functions  that  determine  the  hostname  take
          /etc/hosts into account.

          Additionally,  when creating an rootfs image, be sure to remove /etc/salt/minion_id and
          make sure that id is not defined  in  /etc/salt/minion,  as  this  will  cause  similar
          issues.

   Initializing a New Container as a Salt Minion
       The  above examples illustrate a few ways to create containers on the CLI, but often it is
       desirable to also have the new container run  as  a  Minion.  To  do  this,  the  lxc.init
       function can be used. This function will do the following:

       1. Create a new container

       2. Optionally set password and/or DNS

       3. Bootstrap the minion (using either salt-bootstrap or a custom command)

       By  default, the new container will be pointed at the same Salt Master as the host machine
       on which the container was created. It will then request to authenticate with  the  Master
       like any other bootstrapped Minion, at which point it can be accepted.

          salt myminion lxc.init test1 profile=centos
          salt-key -a test1

       For  even  greater convenience, the LXC runner contains a runner function of the same name
       (lxc.init), which creates a keypair, seeds the new minion with  it,  and  pre-accepts  the
       key, allowing for the new Minion to be created and authorized in a single step:

          salt-run lxc.init test1 host=myminion profile=centos

   Running Commands Within a Container
       For  containers  which  are  not  running their own Minion, commands can be run within the
       container in a manner similar to using (cmd.run <salt.modules.cmdmod.run).  The  means  of
       doing  this  have  been  changed  significantly in version 2015.5.0 (though the deprecated
       behavior will still be supported for a few releases). Both  the  old  and  new  usage  are
       documented below.

   2015.5.0 and Newer
       New  functions  have  been added to mimic the behavior of the functions in the cmd module.
       Below is a table with the cmd functions and their lxc module equivalents:

   2014.7.x and Earlier
       Earlier  Salt  releases  use  a  single  function  (lxc.run_cmd)  to  run  commands within
       containers. Whether stdout, stderr, etc. are returned  depends  on  how  the  function  is
       invoked.

       To run a command and return the stdout:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages'

       To run a command and return the stderr:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages' stdout=False stderr=True

       To run a command and return the retcode:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages' stdout=False stderr=False

       To run a command and return all information:

          salt myminion lxc.run_cmd web1 'tail /var/log/messages' stdout=True stderr=True

   Container Management Using salt-cloud
       Salt  cloud  uses  under  the hood the salt runner and module to manage containers, Please
       look at this chapter

   Container Management Using States
       Several  states  are  being  renamed  or  otherwise  modified  in  version  2015.5.0.  The
       information  in  this  tutorial refers to the new states. For 2014.7.x and earlier, please
       refer to the documentation for the LXC states.

   Ensuring a Container Is Present
       To ensure the existence of a named container, use the lxc.present  state.  Here  are  some
       examples:

          # Using a template
          web1:
            lxc.present:
              - template: download
              - options:
                  dist: centos
                  release: 6
                  arch: amd64

          # Cloning
          web2:
            lxc.present:
              - clone_from: web-base

          # Using a rootfs image
          web3:
            lxc.present:
              - image: salt://path/to/cent6.tar.gz

          # Using profiles
          web4:
            lxc.present:
              - profile: centos_web
              - network_profile: centos

       WARNING:
          The  lxc.present  state  will not modify an existing container (in other words, it will
          not re-create the container).  If an lxc.present state is run on an existing container,
          there will be no change and the state will return a True result.

       The  lxc.present  state  also  includes an optional running parameter which can be used to
       ensure that a container is running/stopped. Note that there are standalone lxc.running and
       lxc.stopped states which can be used for this purpose.

   Ensuring a Container Does Not Exist
       To ensure that a named container is not present, use the lxc.absent state. For example:

          web1:
            lxc.absent

   Ensuring a Container is Running/Stopped/Frozen
       Containers can be in one of three states:

       • running - Container is running and active

       • frozen  -  Container  is  running,  but  all  process  are  blocked and the container is
         essentially non-active until the container is "unfrozen"

       • stopped - Container is not running

       Salt has three states (lxc.running, lxc.frozen, and lxc.stopped)  which  can  be  used  to
       ensure a container is in one of these states:

          web1:
            lxc.running

          # Restart the container if it was already running
          web2:
            lxc.running:
              - restart: True

          web3:
            lxc.stopped

          # Explicitly kill all tasks in container instead of gracefully stopping
          web4:
            lxc.stopped:
              - kill: True

          web5:
            lxc.frozen

          # If container is stopped, do not start it (in which case the state will fail)
          web6:
            lxc.frozen:
              - start: False

   Remote execution tutorial
       Before  continuing  make  sure  you  have  a  working  Salt  installation by following the
       installation and the configuration instructions.

          Stuck?

                 There are many ways to salt-community including our mailing  list  and  our  IRC
                 channel #salt.

   Order your minions around
       Now  that  you have a master and at least one minion communicating with each other you can
       perform commands on the minion via the salt command. Salt calls  are  comprised  of  three
       main components:

          salt '<target>' <function> [arguments]

       SEE ALSO:
          salt manpage

   target
       The target component allows you to filter which minions should run the following function.
       The default filter is a glob on the minion id. For example:

          salt '*' test.version
          salt '*.example.org' test.version

       Targets can be based on minion system information using the Grains system:

          salt -G 'os:Ubuntu' test.version

       SEE ALSO:
          Grains system

       Targets can be filtered by regular expression:

          salt -E 'virtmach[0-9]' test.version

       Targets can be explicitly specified in a list:

          salt -L 'foo,bar,baz,quo' test.version

       Or Multiple target types can be combined in one command:

          salt -C 'G@os:Ubuntu and webser* or E@database.*' test.version

   function
       A function is some functionality provided by a module. Salt ships with a large  collection
       of available functions. List all available functions on your minions:

          salt '*' sys.doc

       Here are some examples:

       Show all currently available minions:

          salt '*' test.version

       Run an arbitrary shell command:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'uname -a'

       SEE ALSO:
          the full list of modules

   arguments
       Space-delimited arguments to the function:

          salt '*' cmd.exec_code python 'import sys; print sys.version'

       Optional, keyword arguments are also supported:

          salt '*' pip.install salt timeout=5 upgrade=True

       They are always in the form of kwarg=argument.

   Multi Master Tutorial
       As  of  Salt  0.16.0,  the  ability  to  connect minions to multiple masters has been made
       available. The multi-master system allows for redundancy of Salt masters  and  facilitates
       multiple  points  of  communication  out  to minions. When using a multi-master setup, all
       masters are running hot, and any active master can be used to send  commands  out  to  the
       minions.

       NOTE:
          If   you   need   failover   capabilities  with  multiple  masters,  there  is  also  a
          MultiMaster-PKI setup available, that uses a different  topology  MultiMaster-PKI  with
          Failover Tutorial

       In  0.16.0,  the  masters  do  not share any information, keys need to be accepted on both
       masters, and shared files need to be shared manually or use tools like the git  fileserver
       backend to ensure that the file_roots are kept consistent.

       Beginning  with Salt 2016.11.0, the Pluggable Minion Data Cache was introduced. The minion
       data cache contains the Salt Mine data,  minion  grains,  and  minion  pillar  information
       cached  on  the  Salt  Master.  By  default, Salt uses the localfs cache module, but other
       external data stores can be used instead.

       Using a pluggable minion cache modules allows for the data stored on a Salt  Master  about
       Salt Minions to be replicated on other Salt Masters the Minion is connected to. Please see
       the Minion Data Cache documentation for more information and configuration examples.

   Summary of Steps
       1. Create a redundant master server

       2. Copy primary master key to redundant master

       3. Start redundant master

       4. Configure minions to connect to redundant master

       5. Restart minions

       6. Accept keys on redundant master

   Prepping a Redundant Master
       The first task is to prepare the redundant master. If  the  redundant  master  is  already
       running,  stop  it. There is only one requirement when preparing a redundant master, which
       is that masters share the same private  key.  When  the  first  master  was  created,  the
       master's  identifying  key  pair  was  generated  and  placed in the master's pki_dir. The
       default location of the master's key pair is /etc/salt/pki/master/. Take the private  key,
       master.pem,  and copy it to the same location on the redundant master. Do the same for the
       master's public key, master.pub. Assuming that no minions have yet been connected  to  the
       new  redundant  master, it is safe to delete any existing key in this location and replace
       it.

       NOTE:
          There is no logical limit to the number of redundant masters that can be used.

       Once the new key is in place, the redundant master can be safely started.

   Configure Minions
       Since minions need to be master-aware, the new master needs to  be  added  to  the  minion
       configurations. Simply update the minion configurations to list all connected masters:

          master:
            - saltmaster1.example.com
            - saltmaster2.example.com

       Now the minion can be safely restarted.

       NOTE:
          If  the ipc_mode for the minion is set to TCP (default in Windows), then each minion in
          the multi-minion setup (one per master) needs its own tcp_pub_port and tcp_pull_port.

          If these settings are left as the default 4510/4511, each minion object will receive  a
          port  2  higher than the previous. Thus the first minion will get 4510/4511, the second
          will get 4512/4513, and so on. If these  port  decisions  are  unacceptable,  you  must
          configure  tcp_pub_port  and  tcp_pull_port  with  lists  of ports for each master. The
          length of these lists should match the number of  masters,  and  there  should  not  be
          overlap in the lists.

       Now  the minions will check into the original master and also check into the new redundant
       master. Both masters are first-class and have rights to the minions.

       NOTE:
          Minions can automatically detect failed  masters  and  attempt  to  reconnect  to  them
          quickly.  To  enable this functionality, set master_alive_interval in the minion config
          and specify a number of seconds to poll the masters for connection status.

          If this option is not set, minions will still reconnect to failed masters but the first
          command sent after a master comes back up may be lost while the minion authenticates.

   Sharing Files Between Masters
       Salt does not automatically share files between multiple masters. A number of files should
       be shared or sharing of these files should be strongly considered.

   Minion Keys
       Minion keys can be accepted the normal way using salt-key on both masters.  Keys accepted,
       deleted, or rejected on one master will NOT be automatically managed on redundant masters;
       this needs to be taken care of  by  running  salt-key  on  both  masters  or  sharing  the
       /etc/salt/pki/master/{minions,minions_pre,minions_rejected} directories between masters.

       NOTE:
          While sharing the /etc/salt/pki/master directory will work, it is strongly discouraged,
          since allowing access to the master.pem key outside of Salt creates a SERIOUS  security
          risk.

   File_Roots
       The  file_roots  contents  should be kept consistent between masters. Otherwise state runs
       will not always be consistent on minions since instructions managed by one master will not
       agree with other masters.

       The  recommended  way  to  sync these is to use a fileserver backend like gitfs or to keep
       these files on shared storage.

       IMPORTANT:
          If using gitfs/git_pillar with the cachedir shared  between  masters  using  GlusterFS,
          nfs, or another network filesystem, and the masters are running Salt 2015.5.9 or later,
          it is strongly recommended not to turn off gitfs_global_lock/git_pillar_global_lock  as
          doing  so  will  cause  lock  files  to  be removed if they were created by a different
          master.

   Pillar_Roots
       Pillar roots should be given the same considerations as file_roots.

   Master Configurations
       While reasons may exist to maintain separate master configurations, it is wise to remember
       that  each  master maintains independent control over minions.  Therefore, access controls
       should be in sync between masters unless a valid reason  otherwise  exists  to  keep  them
       inconsistent.

       These access control options include but are not limited to:

       • external_auth

       • publisher_acl

       • peer

       • peer_run

   Multi-Master-PKI Tutorial With Failover
       This  tutorial  will explain, how to run a salt-environment where a single minion can have
       multiple masters and fail-over between them if its current master fails.

       The individual steps are

       • setup the master(s) to sign its auth-replies

       • setup minion(s) to verify master-public-keys

       • enable multiple masters on minion(s)

       • enable master-check on  minion(s)
            Please note, that it is advised to have good knowledge of  the  salt-  authentication
            and communication-process to understand this tutorial.  All of the settings described
            here, go on top of the default authentication/communication process.

   Motivation
       The default behaviour of a salt-minion is to connect to a master and  accept  the  masters
       public key. With each publication, the master sends his public-key for the minion to check
       and if this public-key ever changes, the minion  complains  and  exits.  Practically  this
       means, that there can only be a single master at any given time.

       Would  it not be much nicer, if the minion could have any number of masters (1:n) and jump
       to the next master if its current master died because of a network or hardware failure?

       NOTE:
          There is also a MultiMaster-Tutorial with a different approach and topology  than  this
          one,  that  might  also  suite  your  needs or might even be better suited Multi-Master
          Tutorial

       It is also desirable, to add some sort of authenticity-check to the very first public  key
       a  minion  receives  from a master. Currently a minions takes the first masters public key
       for granted.

   The Goal
       Setup the master to sign the public key it sends to the minions and enable the minions  to
       verify this signature for authenticity.

   Prepping the master to sign its public key
       For  signing  to  work,  both  master and minion must have the signing and/or verification
       settings enabled. If the master signs the public key but the minion does  not  verify  it,
       the minion will complain and exit. The same happens, when the master does not sign but the
       minion tries to verify.

       The easiest way to have the master sign its public key is to set

          master_sign_pubkey: True

       After restarting the salt-master service, the master will  automatically  generate  a  new
       key-pair

          master_sign.pem
          master_sign.pub

       A custom name can be set for the signing key-pair by setting

          master_sign_key_name: <name_without_suffix>

       The  master  will  then  generate  that  key-pair upon restart and use it for creating the
       public keys signature attached to the auth-reply.

       The computation is done for every auth-request of a minion.  If  many  minions  auth  very
       often,     it     is    advised    to    use    conf_master:master_pubkey_signature    and
       conf_master:master_use_pubkey_signature settings described below.

       If multiple masters are in use and should sign their auth-replies,  the  signing  key-pair
       master_sign.*  has to be copied to each master. Otherwise a minion will fail to verify the
       masters public when connecting to a different  master  than  it  did  initially.  That  is
       because the public keys signature was created with a different signing key-pair.

   Prepping the minion to verify received public keys
       The  minion must have the public key (and only that one!) available to be able to verify a
       signature it receives. That public key (defaults to master_sign.pub) must be  copied  from
       the master to the minions pki-directory.

          /etc/salt/pki/minion/master_sign.pub

       IMPORTANT:
          DO NOT COPY THE master_sign.pem FILE. IT MUST STAY ON THE MASTER AND ONLY THERE!

       When that is done, enable the signature checking in the minions configuration

          verify_master_pubkey_sign: True

       and restart the minion. For the first try, the minion should be run in manual debug mode.

          salt-minion -l debug

       Upon connecting to the master, the following lines should appear on the output:

          [DEBUG   ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Loading public key
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Verifying signature
          [DEBUG   ] Successfully verified signature of master public key with verification public key master_sign.pub
          [INFO    ] Received signed and verified master pubkey from master 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Decrypting the current master AES key

       If the signature verification fails, something went wrong and it will look like this

          [DEBUG   ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Loading public key
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Verifying signature
          [DEBUG   ] Failed to verify signature of public key
          [CRITICAL] The Salt Master server's public key did not authenticate!

       In  a case like this, it should be checked, that the verification pubkey (master_sign.pub)
       on the minion is the same as the one on the master.

       Once the verification is successful, the minion can be started in daemon mode again.

       For the paranoid among us, its also possible to verify  the  publication  whenever  it  is
       received  from  the  master.  That  is,  for  every single auth-attempt which can be quite
       frequent. For example just the start of the minion will force the signature to be  checked
       6 times for various things like auth, mine, highstate, etc.

       If that is desired, enable the setting

          always_verify_signature: True

   Multiple Masters For A Minion
       Configuring multiple masters on a minion is done by specifying two settings:

       • a list of masters addresses

       • what type of master is defined

          master:
              - 172.16.0.10
              - 172.16.0.11
              - 172.16.0.12

          master_type: failover

       This  tells  the minion that all the master above are available for it to connect to. When
       started with this configuration, it will try the master in the order they are defined.  To
       randomize that order, set

          master_shuffle: True

       The master-list will then be shuffled before the first connection attempt.

       The  first  master  that accepts the minion, is used by the minion. If the master does not
       yet know the minion, that counts as accepted and the minion stays on that master.

       For the minion to be able to detect if its still connected to its  current  master  enable
       the check for it

          master_alive_interval: <seconds>

       If  the  loss of the connection is detected, the minion will temporarily remove the failed
       master from the list and try one of the other masters defined (again shuffled if  that  is
       enabled).

   Testing the setup
       At least two running masters are needed to test the failover setup.

       Both  masters  should  be  running and the minion should be running on the command line in
       debug mode

          salt-minion -l debug

       The minion will connect to the first master from its master list

          [DEBUG   ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Loading public key
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Verifying signature
          [DEBUG   ] Successfully verified signature of master public key with verification public key master_sign.pub
          [INFO    ] Received signed and verified master pubkey from master 172.16.0.10
          [DEBUG   ] Decrypting the current master AES key

       A test.version on the master the minion is currently connected to should be  run  to  test
       connectivity.

       If  successful,  that  master  should  be  turned off. A firewall-rule denying the minions
       packets will also do the trick.

       Depending on the configured conf_minion:master_alive_interval, the minion will notice  the
       loss of the connection and log it to its logfile.

          [INFO    ] Connection to master 172.16.0.10 lost
          [INFO    ] Trying to tune in to next master from master-list

       The  minion  will  then  remove the current master from the list and try connecting to the
       next master

          [INFO    ] Removing possibly failed master 172.16.0.10 from list of masters
          [WARNING ] Master ip address changed from 172.16.0.10 to 172.16.0.11
          [DEBUG   ] Attempting to authenticate with the Salt Master at 172.16.0.11

       If everything is configured correctly,  the  new  masters  public  key  will  be  verified
       successfully

          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Loading public key
          [DEBUG   ] salt.crypt.verify_signature: Verifying signature
          [DEBUG   ] Successfully verified signature of master public key with verification public key master_sign.pub

       the authentication with the new master is successful

          [INFO    ] Received signed and verified master pubkey from master 172.16.0.11
          [DEBUG   ] Decrypting the current master AES key
          [DEBUG   ] Loaded minion key: /etc/salt/pki/minion/minion.pem
          [INFO    ] Authentication with master successful!

       and the minion can be pinged again from its new master.

   Performance Tuning
       With  the setup described above, the master computes a signature for every auth-request of
       a minion. With many minions and many auth-requests, that  can  chew  up  quite  a  bit  of
       CPU-Power.

       To  avoid  that,  the  master  can  use  a  pre-created  signature of its public-key.  The
       signature is saved as a base64 encoded string which the master reads  once  when  starting
       and attaches only that string to auth-replies.

       Enabling this also gives paranoid users the possibility, to have the signing key-pair on a
       different system than the actual salt-master and create the public keys  signature  there.
       Probably  on  a system with more restrictive firewall rules, without internet access, less
       users, etc.

       That signature can be created with

          salt-key --gen-signature

       This will create a default signature file in the master pki-directory

          /etc/salt/pki/master/master_pubkey_signature

       It is a simple text-file with the binary-signature converted to base64.

       If no signing-pair is present  yet,  this  will  auto-create  the  signing  pair  and  the
       signature file in one call

          salt-key --gen-signature --auto-create

       Telling the master to use the pre-created signature is done with

          master_use_pubkey_signature: True

       That   requires   the   file  'master_pubkey_signature'  to  be  present  in  the  masters
       pki-directory with the correct signature.

       If the signature file is named differently, its name can be set with

          master_pubkey_signature: <filename>

       With many masters and many public-keys (default and signing), it is  advised  to  use  the
       salt-masters  hostname  for  the  signature-files  name. Signatures can be easily confused
       because they do not provide any information about the key the signature was created from.

       Verifying that everything works is done the same way as above.

   How the signing and verification works
       The default key-pair of the salt-master is

          /etc/salt/pki/master/master.pem
          /etc/salt/pki/master/master.pub

       To be able to create a signature of  a  message  (in  this  case  a  public-key),  another
       key-pair has to be added to the setup. Its default name is:

          master_sign.pem
          master_sign.pub

       The  combination  of  the  master.*  and  master_sign.*  key-pairs give the possibility of
       generating signatures. The signature of a given message is unique and can be verified,  if
       the public-key of the signing-key-pair is available to the recipient (the minion).

       The signature of the masters public-key in master.pub is computed with

          master_sign.pem
          master.pub
          M2Crypto.EVP.sign_update()

       This  results  in  a  binary  signature  which  is converted to base64 and attached to the
       auth-reply send to the minion.

       With the signing-pairs public-key available to the minion, the attached signature  can  be
       verified with

          master_sign.pub
          master.pub
          M2Cryptos EVP.verify_update().

       When  running  multiple  masters,  either the signing key-pair has to be present on all of
       them, or the master_pubkey_signature has to be pre-computed for each  master  individually
       (because they all have different public-keys).
          DO NOT PUT THE SAME master.pub ON ALL MASTERS FOR EASE OF USE.

   Packaging External Modules for Salt
   External Modules Setuptools Entry-Points Support
       The  salt  loader  was enhanced to look for external modules by looking at the salt.loader
       entry-point:
          https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html#entry-points

       pkg_resources should be installed, which is normally included in setuptools.
          https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html

       The package which has custom engines, minion  modules,  outputters,  etc,  should  require
       setuptools and should define the following entry points in its setup function:

          from setuptools import setup, find_packages

          setup(
              name=THE_NAME,
              version=THE_VERSION,
              description=THE_DESCRIPTION,
              author=THE_AUTHOR_NAME,
              author_email=THE_AUTHOR_EMAIL,
              url=" ... ",
              packages=find_packages(),
              entry_points="""
              [salt.loader]
              engines_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:engines_dirs
              fileserver_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:fileserver_dirs
              pillar_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:pillar_dirs
              returner_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:returner_dirs
              roster_dirs = <package>.<loader-module>:roster_dirs
              """,
          )

       The  above  setup  script  example  mentions  a  loader  module.  here's an example of how
       <package>/<loader-module>.py it should look:

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

          # Import python libs
          import os

          PKG_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))

          def engines_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where engines can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "engines_1")
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "engines_2")

          def fileserver_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where fileserver modules can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "fileserver")

          def pillar_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where external pillar modules can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "pillar")

          def returner_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where returner modules can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "returners")

          def roster_dirs():
              """
              yield one path per parent directory of where roster modules can be found
              """
              yield os.path.join(PKG_DIR, "roster")

   How Do I Use Salt States?
       Simplicity, Simplicity, Simplicity

       Many of the  most  powerful  and  useful  engineering  solutions  are  founded  on  simple
       principles. Salt States strive to do just that: K.I.S.S. (Keep It Stupidly Simple)

       The  core  of  the  Salt  State  system  is  the  SLS,  or  SaLt  State file. The SLS is a
       representation of the state in which a system should be in, and is set up to contain  this
       data in a simple format.  This is often called configuration management.

       NOTE:
          This is just the beginning of using states, make sure to read up on pillar Pillar next.

   It is All Just Data
       Before  delving into the particulars, it will help to understand that the SLS file is just
       a data structure under the hood. While understanding that the SLS is just a data structure
       isn't  critical  for  understanding  and making use of Salt States, it should help bolster
       knowledge of where the real power is.

       SLS files are therefore, in reality, just dictionaries, lists, strings, and  numbers.   By
       using  this  approach  Salt  can be much more flexible. As one writes more state files, it
       becomes clearer exactly what is being written. The result is a  system  that  is  easy  to
       understand, yet grows with the needs of the admin or developer.

   The Top File
       The  example  SLS files in the below sections can be assigned to hosts using a file called
       top.sls. This file is described in-depth here.

   Default Data - YAML
       By default Salt represents the SLS data in what  is  one  of  the  simplest  serialization
       formats available - YAML.

       A typical SLS file will often look like this in YAML:

       NOTE:
          These  demos  use some generic service and package names, different distributions often
          use different names for packages and services. For instance apache should  be  replaced
          with  httpd  on a Red Hat system.  Salt uses the name of the init script, systemd name,
          upstart name etc.  based on what the underlying service management for the platform. To
          get  a  list  of  the available service names on a platform execute the service.get_all
          salt function.

          Information on how to make states work with multiple  distributions  is  later  in  the
          tutorial.

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

       This  SLS data will ensure that the package named apache is installed, and that the apache
       service is running. The components can be explained in a simple way.

       The first line is the ID for a set of data, and it is called the ID Declaration.  This  ID
       sets the name of the thing that needs to be manipulated.

       The  second  and  third  lines  contain the state module function to be run, in the format
       <state_module>.<function>. The pkg.installed state module function ensures that a software
       package  is  installed  via the system's native package manager. The service.running state
       module function ensures that a given system daemon is running.

       Finally, on line four, is the word require. This is called a Requisite Statement,  and  it
       makes  sure that the Apache service is only started after a successful installation of the
       apache package.

   Adding Configs and Users
       When setting up a service like an Apache web server, many more components may need  to  be
       added. The Apache configuration file will most likely be managed, and a user and group may
       need to be set up.

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - pkg: apache
                - file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - user: apache
            user.present:
              - uid: 87
              - gid: 87
              - home: /var/www/html
              - shell: /bin/nologin
              - require:
                - group: apache
            group.present:
              - gid: 87
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/httpd.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644

       This SLS data greatly extends the first example, and includes a config  file,  a  user,  a
       group and new requisite statement: watch.

       Adding  more  states is easy, since the new user and group states are under the Apache ID,
       the user and group will be the Apache user and group. The  require  statements  will  make
       sure that the user will only be made after the group, and that the group will be made only
       after the Apache package is installed.

       Next, the require statement under service was changed to watch,  and  is  now  watching  3
       states  instead  of  just  one. The watch statement does the same thing as require, making
       sure that the other states run before running the state with a watch, but it adds an extra
       component.  The  watch  statement will run the state's watcher function for any changes to
       the watched states.  So if the package was updated, the config file changed, or  the  user
       uid  modified,  then  the service state's watcher will be run. The service state's watcher
       just restarts the service, so in this case, a change in the config file will also  trigger
       a restart of the respective service.

   Moving Beyond a Single SLS
       When  setting up Salt States in a scalable manner, more than one SLS will need to be used.
       The above examples were in a single SLS file, but two or more SLS files can be combined to
       build  out  a State Tree. The above example also references a file with a strange source -
       salt://apache/httpd.conf. That file will need to be available as well.

       The SLS files are laid out in a directory structure on the Salt master; an SLS is  just  a
       file and files to download are just files.

       The Apache example would be laid out in the root of the Salt file server like this:

          apache/init.sls
          apache/httpd.conf

       So the httpd.conf is just a file in the apache directory, and is referenced directly.

          Do not use dots in SLS file names or their directories

                 The  initial  implementation  of  top.sls  and  include-declaration followed the
                 python import model where a slash is represented as a period.  This means that a
                 SLS  file  with  a  period  in  the name ( besides the suffix period) can not be
                 referenced.   For  example,  webserver_1.0.sls  is  not  referenceable   because
                 webserver_1.0 would refer to the directory/file webserver_1/0.sls

                 The  same  applies  for any subdirectories, this is especially 'tricky' when git
                 repos are created.  Another command that typically can't render  its  output  is
                 `state.show_sls` of a file in a path that contains a dot.

       But when using more than one single SLS file, more components can be added to the toolkit.
       Consider this SSH example:

       ssh/init.sls:

          openssh-client:
            pkg.installed

          /etc/ssh/ssh_config:
            file.managed:
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - source: salt://ssh/ssh_config
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-client

       ssh/server.sls:

          include:
            - ssh

          openssh-server:
            pkg.installed

          sshd:
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-client
                - pkg: openssh-server
                - file: /etc/ssh/banner
                - file: /etc/ssh/sshd_config

          /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
            file.managed:
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - source: salt://ssh/sshd_config
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-server

          /etc/ssh/banner:
            file:
              - managed
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - source: salt://ssh/banner
              - require:
                - pkg: openssh-server

       NOTE:
          Notice that we use two similar ways of denoting that a file is managed by Salt. In  the
          /etc/ssh/sshd_config  state  section  above,  we use the file.managed state declaration
          whereas with the /etc/ssh/banner state section, we use the file state  declaration  and
          add  a  managed  attribute  to  that  state declaration. Both ways produce an identical
          result; the first way -- using file.managed -- is merely a shortcut.

       Now our State Tree looks like this:

          apache/init.sls
          apache/httpd.conf
          ssh/init.sls
          ssh/server.sls
          ssh/banner
          ssh/ssh_config
          ssh/sshd_config

       This example now introduces the include statement. The include statement includes  another
       SLS  file  so  that  components  found  in  it can be required, watched or as will soon be
       demonstrated - extended.

       The include statement allows for states to be cross linked. When an  SLS  has  an  include
       statement it is literally extended to include the contents of the included SLS files.

       Note  that  some  of the SLS files are called init.sls, while others are not. More info on
       what this means can be found in the States Tutorial.

   Extending Included SLS Data
       Sometimes SLS data needs to be  extended.  Perhaps  the  apache  service  needs  to  watch
       additional resources, or under certain circumstances a different file needs to be placed.

       In  these examples, the first will add a custom banner to ssh and the second will add more
       watchers to apache to include mod_python.

       ssh/custom-server.sls:

          include:
            - ssh.server

          extend:
            /etc/ssh/banner:
              file:
                - source: salt://ssh/custom-banner

       python/mod_python.sls:

          include:
            - apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - pkg: mod_python

          mod_python:
            pkg.installed

       The custom-server.sls file uses the extend statement to  overwrite  where  the  banner  is
       being  downloaded  from,  and  therefore changing what file is being used to configure the
       banner.

       In the new mod_python SLS the mod_python package is added, but more importantly the apache
       service was extended to also watch the mod_python package.

          Using extend with require or watch

                 The  extend  statement  works  differently for require or watch.  It appends to,
                 rather than replacing the requisite component.

   Understanding the Render System
       Since SLS data is simply that (data), it does not need to be represented with  YAML.  Salt
       defaults to YAML because it is very straightforward and easy to learn and use. But the SLS
       files can be rendered from almost any imaginable medium, so long as a renderer  module  is
       provided.

       The  default  rendering  system  is  the jinja|yaml renderer. The jinja|yaml renderer will
       first pass the template through the Jinja2 templating system, and then  through  the  YAML
       parser.  The  benefit here is that full programming constructs are available when creating
       SLS files.

       Other renderers available are yaml_mako and yaml_wempy which each use the  Mako  or  Wempy
       templating  system respectively rather than the jinja templating system, and more notably,
       the pure Python or py, pydsl & pyobjects renderers.  The py renderer allows for SLS  files
       to  be written in pure Python, allowing for the utmost level of flexibility and power when
       preparing SLS data; while the pydsl renderer provides a flexible, domain-specific language
       for  authoring  SLS  data  in  Python;  and  the pyobjects renderer gives you a "Pythonic"
       interface to building state data.

       NOTE:
          The templating engines described above aren't just available in SLS  files.   They  can
          also  be  used  in  file.managed  states,  making file management much more dynamic and
          flexible. Some examples for using templates in  managed  files  can  be  found  in  the
          documentation for the file state, as well as the MooseFS example below.

   Getting to Know the Default - jinja|yaml
       The  default renderer - jinja|yaml, allows for use of the jinja templating system. A guide
       to      the      Jinja      templating      system      can      be      found       here:
       https://jinja.palletsprojects.com/en/2.11.x/

       When  working  with renderers a few very useful bits of data are passed in. In the case of
       templating engine based renderers, three critical components are available, salt,  grains,
       and  pillar.  The  salt  object  allows for any Salt function to be called from within the
       template, and grains allows for the Grains to be accessed from within the template. A  few
       examples:

       apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat'%}
              - name: httpd
              {% endif %}
            service.running:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat'%}
              - name: httpd
              {% endif %}
              - watch:
                - pkg: apache
                - file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - user: apache
            user.present:
              - uid: 87
              - gid: 87
              - home: /var/www/html
              - shell: /bin/nologin
              - require:
                - group: apache
            group.present:
              - gid: 87
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/httpd.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644

       This  example is simple. If the os grain states that the operating system is Red Hat, then
       the name of the Apache package and service needs to be httpd.

       A more aggressive way to use Jinja can be found here, in a module  to  set  up  a  MooseFS
       distributed filesystem chunkserver:

       moosefs/chunk.sls:

          include:
            - moosefs

          {% for mnt in salt['cmd.run']('ls /dev/data/moose*').split() %}
          /mnt/moose{{ mnt[-1] }}:
            mount.mounted:
              - device: {{ mnt }}
              - fstype: xfs
              - mkmnt: True
            file.directory:
              - user: mfs
              - group: mfs
              - require:
                - user: mfs
                - group: mfs
          {% endfor %}

          /etc/mfshdd.cfg:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://moosefs/mfshdd.cfg
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - require:
                - pkg: mfs-chunkserver

          /etc/mfschunkserver.cfg:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://moosefs/mfschunkserver.cfg
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - require:
                - pkg: mfs-chunkserver

          mfs-chunkserver:
            pkg.installed: []
          mfschunkserver:
            service.running:
              - require:
          {% for mnt in salt['cmd.run']('ls /dev/data/moose*') %}
                - mount: /mnt/moose{{ mnt[-1] }}
                - file: /mnt/moose{{ mnt[-1] }}
          {% endfor %}
                - file: /etc/mfschunkserver.cfg
                - file: /etc/mfshdd.cfg
                - file: /var/lib/mfs

       This example shows much more of the available power of Jinja.  Multiple for loops are used
       to dynamically detect available hard drives and set them up to be mounted,  and  the  salt
       object is used multiple times to call shell commands to gather data.

   Introducing the Python, PyDSL, and the Pyobjects Renderers
       Sometimes  the  chosen  default renderer might not have enough logical power to accomplish
       the needed task. When this happens, the Python renderer  can  be  used.  Normally  a  YAML
       renderer  should be used for the majority of SLS files, but an SLS file set to use another
       renderer can be easily added to the tree.

       This example shows a very basic Python SLS file:

       python/django.sls:

          #!py

          def run():
              """
              Install the django package
              """
              return {"include": ["python"], "django": {"pkg": ["installed"]}}

       This is a very simple example; the first line has an SLS shebang that tells  Salt  to  not
       use  the  default renderer, but to use the py renderer.  Then the run function is defined,
       the return value from the run function must be a Salt friendly data structure,  or  better
       known as a Salt HighState data structure.

       Alternatively,  using the pydsl renderer, the above example can be written more succinctly
       as:

          #!pydsl

          include("python", delayed=True)
          state("django").pkg.installed()

       The pyobjects renderer provides an "Pythonic" object based approach for building the state
       data.  The above example could be written as:

          #!pyobjects

          include("python")
          Pkg.installed("django")

       These Python examples would look like this if they were written in YAML:

          include:
            - python

          django:
            pkg.installed

       This  example  clearly illustrates that; one, using the YAML renderer by default is a wise
       decision and two, unbridled power can be obtained where needed by using a pure Python SLS.

   Running and Debugging Salt States
       Once the rules in an SLS are ready, they should be tested to ensure they work properly. To
       invoke  these  rules,  simply execute salt '*' state.apply on the command line. If you get
       back only hostnames with a : after, but no return, chances are there is a problem with one
       or  more  of the sls files. On the minion, use the salt-call command to examine the output
       for errors:

          salt-call state.apply -l debug

       This should help troubleshoot the issue. The minion can also be started in the  foreground
       in debug mode by running salt-minion -l debug.

   Next Reading
       With an understanding of states, the next recommendation is to become familiar with Salt's
       pillar interface:
          Pillar Walkthrough

   States tutorial, part 1 - Basic Usage
       The purpose of this tutorial is to demonstrate how quickly you can configure a  system  to
       be managed by Salt States. For detailed information about the state system please refer to
       the full states reference.

       This tutorial will walk you through using Salt to configure a minion  to  run  the  Apache
       HTTP server and to ensure the server is running.

       Before  continuing  make  sure  you  have  a  working  Salt  installation by following the
       installation and the configuration instructions.

          Stuck?

                 There are many ways to salt-community including our mailing  list  and  our  IRC
                 channel #salt.

   Setting up the Salt State Tree
       States are stored in text files on the master and transferred to the minions on demand via
       the master's File Server. The collection of state files make up the State Tree.

       To start using a central state system in Salt, the Salt File Server must first be set  up.
       Edit the master config file (file_roots) and uncomment the following lines:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       NOTE:
          If   you  are  deploying  on  FreeBSD  via  ports,  the  file_roots  path  defaults  to
          /usr/local/etc/salt/states.

       Restart the Salt master in order to pick up this change:

          pkill salt-master
          salt-master -d

   Preparing the Top File
       On the master, in the directory uncommented in the previous step, (/srv/salt by  default),
       create a new file called top.sls and add the following:

          base:
            '*':
              - webserver

       The  top file is separated into environments (discussed later). The default environment is
       base. Under the base environment a collection of minion matches is defined; for now simply
       specify all hosts (*).

          Targeting minions

                 The  expressions  can use any of the targeting mechanisms used by Salt — minions
                 can be matched by glob, PCRE regular expression, or by grains. For example:

              base:
                'os:Fedora':
                  - match: grain
                  - webserver

   Create an sls file
       In the same directory as the top file, create a file named webserver.sls,  containing  the
       following:

          apache:                 # ID declaration
            pkg:                  # state declaration
              - installed         # function declaration

       The  first  line,  called the id-declaration, is an arbitrary identifier.  In this case it
       defines the name of the package to be installed.

       NOTE:
          The package name for the Apache httpd web server may differ depending on OS or distro —
          for example, on Fedora it is httpd but on Debian/Ubuntu it is apache2.

       The  second  line,  called  the state-declaration, defines which of the Salt States we are
       using. In this example, we are using the pkg state to  ensure  that  a  given  package  is
       installed.

       The  third  line, called the function-declaration, defines which function in the pkg state
       module to call.

          Renderers

                 States sls files can be written in many formats. Salt  requires  only  a  simple
                 data  structure  and  is  not  concerned  with how that data structure is built.
                 Templating languages and DSLs are a dime-a-dozen and everyone has a favorite.

                 Building the expected data structure is the job of Salt renderers and  they  are
                 dead-simple to write.

                 In this tutorial we will be using YAML in Jinja2 templates, which is the default
                 format.  The  default  can  be  changed  by  editing  renderer  in  the   master
                 configuration file.

   Install the package
       Next, let's run the state we created. Open a terminal on the master and run:

          salt '*' state.apply

       Our  master  is instructing all targeted minions to run state.apply. When this function is
       executed without any SLS targets, a minion will download the top file and attempt to match
       the expressions within it. When the minion does match an expression the modules listed for
       it will be downloaded, compiled, and executed.

       NOTE:
          This action is referred to as a "highstate", and can be run using  the  state.highstate
          function.   However,  to  make  the  usage  easier  to  understand  ("highstate" is not
          necessarily an intuitive name), a state.apply function was added in  version  2015.5.0,
          which  when  invoked  without  any SLS names will trigger a highstate.  state.highstate
          still exists and can be used, but the documentation (as can be  seen  above)  has  been
          updated  to  reference  state.apply,  so  keep  the  following  in mind as you read the
          documentation:

          • state.apply invoked without any SLS names will run state.highstatestate.apply invoked with SLS names will run state.sls

       Once completed, the minion will report back with a summary of all actions  taken  and  all
       changes made.

       WARNING:
          If  you  have  created custom grain modules, they will not be available in the top file
          until after the first highstate. To make custom grains available on  a  minion's  first
          highstate,  it  is recommended to use this example to ensure that the custom grains are
          synced when the minion starts.

          SLS File Namespace

                 Note that in the example above, the  SLS  file  webserver.sls  was  referred  to
                 simply  as  webserver. The namespace for SLS files when referenced in top.sls or
                 an include-declaration follows a few simple rules:

          1. The .sls is discarded (i.e. webserver.sls becomes webserver).

          2.

             Subdirectories can be used for better organization.

                    a. Each subdirectory is represented with a dot (following the  Python  import
                       model)  in Salt states and on the command line .  webserver/dev.sls on the
                       filesystem is referred to as webserver.dev in Salt

                    b. Because slashes are represented as dots, SLS files can not contain dots in
                       the  name  (other  than  the  dot  for  the  SLS  suffix).   The  SLS file
                       webserver_1.0.sls can not be matched, and webserver_1.0  would  match  the
                       directory/file webserver_1/0.sls

          3. A  file  called  init.sls  in  a  subdirectory  is  referred  to  by the path of the
             directory. So, webserver/init.sls is referred to as webserver.

          4. If both webserver.sls and webserver/init.sls  happen  to  exist,  webserver/init.sls
             will be ignored and webserver.sls will be the file referred to as webserver.

          Troubleshooting Salt

                 If  the  expected  output isn't seen, the following tips can help to narrow down
                 the problem.

          Turn up logging
                 Salt can be quite chatty when you change the logging setting to debug:

                     salt-minion -l debug

          Run the minion in the foreground
                 By not starting the minion in daemon mode (-d) one can view any output from  the
                 minion as it works:

                     salt-minion

          Increase  the  default  timeout  value  when  running  salt. For example, to change the
          default timeout to 60 seconds:

              salt -t 60

          For best results, combine all three:

              salt-minion -l debug        # On the minion
              salt '*' state.apply -t 60  # On the master

   Next steps
       This tutorial focused on getting a simple Salt States configuration working.  Part 2  will
       build  on  this  example  to  cover  more advanced sls syntax and will explore more of the
       states that ship with Salt.

   States tutorial, part 2 - More Complex States, Requisites
       NOTE:
          This tutorial builds on topics covered in part 1. It  is  recommended  that  you  begin
          there.

       In  the  last  part  of  the  Salt  States  tutorial we covered the basics of installing a
       package. We will now modify our webserver.sls file to have requirements, and use even more
       Salt States.

   Call multiple States
       You  can  specify multiple state-declaration under an id-declaration. For example, a quick
       modification to our webserver.sls to also start Apache if it is not running:

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

       Try stopping Apache before running state.apply once again and observe the output.

       NOTE:
          For those running RedhatOS derivatives (Centos, AWS), you  will  want  to  specify  the
          service  name to be httpd. More on state service here, service state.  With the example
          above, just add "- name: httpd" above the require line and with the same spacing.

   Require other states
       We now have a working installation of Apache so let's add an HTML file  to  customize  our
       website.  It  isn't  exactly useful to have a website without a webserver so we don't want
       Salt to install our HTML file until Apache is installed and running. Include the following
       at the bottom of your webserver/init.sls file:

          apache:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          /var/www/index.html:                        # ID declaration
            file:                                     # state declaration
              - managed                               # function
              - source: salt://webserver/index.html   # function arg
              - require:                              # requisite declaration
                - pkg: apache                         # requisite reference

       line  7  is  the id-declaration. In this example it is the location we want to install our
       custom HTML file. (Note: the default location that Apache serves may differ from the above
       on your OS or distro. /srv/www could also be a likely place to look.)

       Line 8 the state-declaration. This example uses the Salt file state.

       Line  9  is  the  function-declaration. The managed function will download a file from the
       master and install it in the location specified.

       Line 10 is a function-arg-declaration which, in this example, passes the  source  argument
       to the managed function.

       Line 11 is a requisite-declaration.

       Line  12  is a requisite-reference which refers to a state and an ID.  In this example, it
       is referring to the ID declaration from our example in part 1. This declaration tells Salt
       not to install the HTML file until Apache is installed.

       Next, create the index.html file and save it in the webserver directory:

          <!DOCTYPE html>
          <html>
              <head><title>Salt rocks</title></head>
              <body>
                  <h1>This file brought to you by Salt</h1>
              </body>
          </html>

       Last,  call  state.apply again and the minion will fetch and execute the highstate as well
       as our HTML file from the master using Salt's File Server:

          salt '*' state.apply

       Verify that Apache is now serving your custom HTML.

          require vs. watch

                 There are two requisite-declaration, “require”, and  “watch”.  Not  every  state
                 supports  “watch”.  The  service  state  does support “watch” and will restart a
                 service based on the watch condition.

                 For example, if you use Salt to install an  Apache  virtual  host  configuration
                 file  and  want to restart Apache whenever that file is changed you could modify
                 our Apache example from earlier as follows:

              /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
                file.managed:
                  - source: salt://webserver/httpd-vhosts.conf

              apache:
                pkg.installed: []
                service.running:
                  - watch:
                    - file: /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
                  - require:
                    - pkg: apache

          If the pkg and service names differ on your OS or distro of choice you can specify each
          one separately using a name-declaration which explained in Part 3.

   Next steps
       In  part  3  we  will  discuss how to use includes, extends, and templating to make a more
       complete State Tree configuration.

   States tutorial, part 3 - Templating, Includes, Extends
       NOTE:
          This tutorial builds on topics covered in part 1 and part 2. It is recommended that you
          begin there.

       This part of the tutorial will cover more advanced templating and configuration techniques
       for sls files.

   Templating SLS modules
       SLS modules may require programming logic or inline execution. This is  accomplished  with
       module  templating.  The  default  module  templating  system  used  is Jinja2  and may be
       configured by changing the renderer value in the master config.

       All states are passed through a templating system when they are initially read.   To  make
       use  of  the  templating  system, simply add some templating markup.  An example of an sls
       module with templating markup may look like this:

          {% for usr in ['moe','larry','curly'] %}
          {{ usr }}:
            user.present
          {% endfor %}

       This templated sls file once generated will look like this:

          moe:
            user.present
          larry:
            user.present
          curly:
            user.present

       Here's a more complex example:

          # Comments in yaml start with a hash symbol.
          # Since jinja rendering occurs before yaml parsing, if you want to include jinja
          # in the comments you may need to escape them using 'jinja' comments to prevent
          # jinja from trying to render something which is not well-defined jinja.
          # e.g.
          # {# iterate over the Three Stooges using a {% for %}..{% endfor %} loop
          # with the iterator variable {{ usr }} becoming the state ID. #}
          {% for usr in 'moe','larry','curly' %}
          {{ usr }}:
            group:
              - present
            user:
              - present
              - gid_from_name: True
              - require:
                - group: {{ usr }}
          {% endfor %}

   Using Grains in SLS modules
       Often times a state will need to behave differently on  different  systems.   Salt  grains
       objects are made available in the template context. The grains can be used from within sls
       modules:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              {% if grains['os'] == 'RedHat' %}
              - name: httpd
              {% elif grains['os'] == 'Ubuntu' %}
              - name: apache2
              {% endif %}

   Using Environment Variables in SLS modules
       You can use salt['environ.get']('VARNAME') to use an environment variable in a Salt state.

          MYENVVAR="world" salt-call state.template test.sls

          Create a file with contents from an environment variable:
            file.managed:
              - name: /tmp/hello
              - contents: {{ salt['environ.get']('MYENVVAR') }}

       Error checking:

          {% set myenvvar = salt['environ.get']('MYENVVAR') %}
          {% if myenvvar %}

          Create a file with contents from an environment variable:
            file.managed:
              - name: /tmp/hello
              - contents: {{ salt['environ.get']('MYENVVAR') }}

          {% else %}

          Fail - no environment passed in:
            test.fail_without_changes

          {% endif %}

   Calling Salt modules from templates
       All of the Salt modules loaded by the minion are available within the  templating  system.
       This  allows  data  to  be  gathered in real time on the target system. It also allows for
       shell commands to be run easily from within the sls modules.

       The Salt module functions are also made available in the template context as salt:

       The following example illustrates calling the group_to_gid function in the file  execution
       module with a single positional argument called some_group_that_exists.

          moe:
            user.present:
              - gid: {{ salt['file.group_to_gid']('some_group_that_exists') }}

       One way to think about this might be that the gid key is being assigned a value equivalent
       to the following python pseudo-code:

          import salt.modules.file

          file.group_to_gid("some_group_that_exists")

       Note that for the above example to work,  some_group_that_exists  must  exist  before  the
       state file is processed by the templating engine.

       Below is an example that uses the network.hw_addr function to retrieve the MAC address for
       eth0:

          salt["network.hw_addr"]("eth0")

       To examine the possible arguments to each execution module function, one can  examine  the
       module reference documentation:

   Advanced SLS module syntax
       Lastly, we will cover some incredibly useful techniques for more complex State trees.

   Include declaration
       A  previous  example  showed  how  to spread a Salt tree across several files.  Similarly,
       requisites span multiple files by using an include-declaration. For example:

       python/python-libs.sls:

          python-dateutil:
            pkg.installed

       python/django.sls:

          include:
            - python.python-libs

          django:
            pkg.installed:
              - require:
                - pkg: python-dateutil

   Extend declaration
       You can modify previous declarations by  using  an  extend-declaration.  For  example  the
       following modifies the Apache tree to also restart Apache when the vhosts file is changed:

       apache/apache.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed

       apache/mywebsite.sls:

          include:
            - apache.apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - running
                - watch:
                  - file: /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

          /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/httpd-vhosts.conf

          Using extend with require or watch

                 The  extend  statement  works  differently for require or watch.  It appends to,
                 rather than replacing the requisite component.

   Name declaration
       You can override the  id-declaration  by  using  a  name-declaration.   For  example,  the
       previous example is a bit more maintainable if rewritten as follows:

       apache/mywebsite.sls:

          include:
            - apache.apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - running
                - watch:
                  - file: mywebsite

          mywebsite:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
              - source: salt://apache/httpd-vhosts.conf

   Names declaration
       Even  more  powerful  is  using  a  names-declaration  to  override the id-declaration for
       multiple states at once. This often can remove the need for looping  in  a  template.  For
       example, the first example in this tutorial can be rewritten without the loop:

          stooges:
            user.present:
              - names:
                - moe
                - larry
                - curly

   Next steps
       In  part  4  we  will  discuss  how to use salt's file_roots to set up a workflow in which
       states can be "promoted" from dev, to QA, to production.

   States tutorial, part 4
       NOTE:
          This tutorial builds on topics  covered  in  part  1,  part  2,  and  part  3.   It  is
          recommended that you begin there.

       This  part  of the tutorial will show how to use salt's file_roots to set up a workflow in
       which states can be "promoted" from dev, to QA, to production.

   Salt fileserver path inheritance
       Salt's fileserver allows for more than one root directory per  environment,  like  in  the
       below  example,  which  uses both a local directory and a secondary location shared to the
       salt master via NFS:

          # In the master config file (/etc/salt/master)
          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt
              - /mnt/salt-nfs/base

       Salt's fileserver collapses the list of root directories into a single virtual environment
       containing  all files from each root. If the same file exists at the same relative path in
       more than one root, then the top-most match "wins". For example, if /srv/salt/foo.txt  and
       /mnt/salt-nfs/base/foo.txt    both    exist,    then    salt://foo.txt   will   point   to
       /srv/salt/foo.txt.

       NOTE:
          When using multiple fileserver backends, the order in which  they  are  listed  in  the
          fileserver_backend  parameter  also  matters.  If both roots and git backends contain a
          file  with  the  same  relative  path,  and   roots   appears   before   git   in   the
          fileserver_backend  list, then the file in roots will "win", and the file in gitfs will
          be ignored.

          A more thorough explanation of how Salt's modular fileserver works can be  found  here.
          We recommend reading this.

   Environment configuration
       Configure a multiple-environment setup like so:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt/prod
            qa:
              - /srv/salt/qa
              - /srv/salt/prod
            dev:
              - /srv/salt/dev
              - /srv/salt/qa
              - /srv/salt/prod

       Given the path inheritance described above, files within /srv/salt/prod would be available
       in all environments. Files within /srv/salt/qa would be available in  both  qa,  and  dev.
       Finally,   the  files  within  /srv/salt/dev  would  only  be  available  within  the  dev
       environment.

       Based on the order in which the roots are defined, new files/states can be  placed  within
       /srv/salt/dev, and pushed out to the dev hosts for testing.

       Those  files/states  can  then be moved to the same relative path within /srv/salt/qa, and
       they are now available only in the dev and qa environments, allowing them to be pushed  to
       QA hosts and tested.

       Finally,  if  moved  to  the  same  relative path within /srv/salt/prod, the files are now
       available in all three environments.

   Requesting files from specific fileserver environments
       See here for documentation on how to request files from specific environments.

   Practical Example
       As an example, consider a simple website, installed to  /var/www/foobarcom.   Below  is  a
       top.sls that can be used to deploy the website:

       /srv/salt/prod/top.sls:

          base:
            'web*prod*':
              - webserver.foobarcom
          qa:
            'web*qa*':
              - webserver.foobarcom
          dev:
            'web*dev*':
              - webserver.foobarcom

       Using pillar, roles can be assigned to the hosts:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            'web*prod*':
              - webserver.prod
            'web*qa*':
              - webserver.qa
            'web*dev*':
              - webserver.dev

       /srv/pillar/webserver/prod.sls:

          webserver_role: prod

       /srv/pillar/webserver/qa.sls:

          webserver_role: qa

       /srv/pillar/webserver/dev.sls:

          webserver_role: dev

       And finally, the SLS to deploy the website:

       /srv/salt/prod/webserver/foobarcom.sls:

          {% if pillar.get('webserver_role', '') %}
          /var/www/foobarcom:
            file.recurse:
              - source: salt://webserver/src/foobarcom
              - env: {{ pillar['webserver_role'] }}
              - user: www
              - group: www
              - dir_mode: 755
              - file_mode: 644
          {% endif %}

       Given  the  above  SLS,  the  source  for  the  website  should  initially  be  placed  in
       /srv/salt/dev/webserver/src/foobarcom.

       First, let's deploy to dev. Given the configuration in the top  file,  this  can  be  done
       using state.apply:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:dev' state.apply

       However,  in  the event that it is not desirable to apply all states configured in the top
       file (which could be likely in more complex setups), it is  possible  to  apply  just  the
       states  for  the foobarcom website, by invoking state.apply with the desired SLS target as
       an argument:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:dev' state.apply webserver.foobarcom

       Once  the  site  has  been  tested  in  dev,  then   the   files   can   be   moved   from
       /srv/salt/dev/webserver/src/foobarcom    to    /srv/salt/qa/webserver/src/foobarcom,   and
       deployed using the following:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:qa' state.apply webserver.foobarcom

       Finally, once the site  has  been  tested  in  qa,  then  the  files  can  be  moved  from
       /srv/salt/qa/webserver/src/foobarcom    to   /srv/salt/prod/webserver/src/foobarcom,   and
       deployed using the following:

          salt --pillar 'webserver_role:prod' state.apply webserver.foobarcom

       Thanks to Salt's fileserver inheritance, even though the files have been moved  to  within
       /srv/salt/prod,  they are still available from the same salt:// URI in both the qa and dev
       environments.

   Continue Learning
       The best way to continue learning about Salt States  is  to  read  through  the  reference
       documentation  and  to  look through examples of existing state trees. Many pre-configured
       state trees can be found on GitHub in the saltstack-formulas collection of repositories.

       If you have any questions, suggestions, or just want to chat with  other  people  who  are
       using Salt, we have a very active community and we'd love to hear from you.

       In  addition,  by  continuing  to  the  Orchestrate  Runner  docs, you can learn about the
       powerful orchestration of which Salt is capable.

   States Tutorial, Part 5 - Orchestration with Salt
       This was moved to Orchestrate Runner.

   Syslog-ng usage
   Overview
       Syslog_ng state module  is  for  generating  syslog-ng  configurations.  You  can  do  the
       following things:

       • generate syslog-ng configuration from YAML,

       • use non-YAML configuration,

       • start, stop or reload syslog-ng.

       There  is  also  an execution module, which can check the syntax of the configuration, get
       the version and other information about syslog-ng.

   Configuration
       Users can create syslog-ng configuration statements with the syslog_ng.config function. It
       requires  a  name  and  a  config parameter. The name parameter determines the name of the
       generated statement and the config parameter holds a parsed YAML structure.

       A statement can be declared in the following forms (both are equivalent):

          source.s_localhost:
            syslog_ng.config:
              - config:
                  - tcp:
                    - ip: "127.0.0.1"
                    - port: 1233

          s_localhost:
            syslog_ng.config:
              - config:
                  source:
                    - tcp:
                      - ip: "127.0.0.1"
                      - port: 1233

       The first one is called short form, because it needs less typing. Users can use lists  and
       dictionaries to specify their configuration. The format is quite self describing and there
       are more examples [at the end](#examples) of this document.

   Quotation
       The quotation can be tricky sometimes but here are some rules to follow:

              • when a string meant to be "string" in the generated configuration, it  should  be
                like '"string"' in the YAML document

              • similarly,  users  should  write  "'string'"  to  get  'string'  in the generated
                configuration

   Full example
       The following configuration is an example, how a complete  syslog-ng  configuration  looks
       like:

          # Set the location of the configuration file
          set_location:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.set_config_file
              - m_name: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf"

          # The syslog-ng and syslog-ng-ctl binaries are here. You needn't use
          # this method if these binaries can be found in a directory in your PATH.
          set_bin_path:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.set_binary_path
              - m_name: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/sbin"

          # Writes the first lines into the config file, also erases its previous
          # content
          write_version:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.write_version
              - m_name: "3.6"

          # There is a shorter form to set the above variables
          set_variables:
            module.run:
              - name: syslog_ng.set_parameters
              - version: "3.6"
              - binary_path: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/sbin"
              - config_file: "/home/tibi/install/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf"

          # Some global options
          options.global_options:
            syslog_ng.config:

       The  syslog_ng.reloaded  function  can  generate syslog-ng configuration from YAML. If the
       statement (source, destination, parser, etc.) has a name, this function uses the id as the
       name, otherwise (log statement) its purpose is like a mandatory comment.

       After execution this example the syslog_ng state will generate this file:

   Syslog_ng module functions
       You can use syslog_ng.set_binary_path to set the directory which  contains  the  syslog-ng
       and  syslog-ng-ctl binaries. If this directory is in your PATH, you don't need to use this
       function. There is also a  syslog_ng.set_config_file function to set the location  of  the
       configuration file.

   Salt in 10 Minutes
       NOTE:
          Welcome  to  SaltStack!  I am excited that you are interested in Salt and starting down
          the path to better  infrastructure  management.  I  developed  (and  am  continuing  to
          develop)  Salt  with the goal of making the best software available to manage computers
          of almost any kind. I hope you enjoy working with Salt and that the software can  solve
          your real world needs!

          • Thomas S Hatch

          • Salt creator and Chief Developer

          • CTO of SaltStack, Inc.

   Getting Started
   What is Salt?
       Salt  is  a  different  approach  to  infrastructure  management, founded on the idea that
       high-speed communication with large numbers of systems can open up new capabilities.  This
       approach  makes  Salt a powerful multitasking system that can solve many specific problems
       in an infrastructure.

       The backbone of Salt is the remote execution engine, which creates  a  high-speed,  secure
       and  bi-directional  communication net for groups of systems. On top of this communication
       system,  Salt  provides  an  extremely  fast,  flexible,  and  easy-to-use   configuration
       management system called Salt States.

   Installing Salt
       SaltStack  has  been  made  to  be  very easy to install and get started. The installation
       documents contain instructions for all supported platforms.

   Starting Salt
       Salt functions on a master/minion topology. A master server acts as a central control  bus
       for the clients, which are called minions. The minions connect back to the master.

   Setting Up the Salt Master
       Turning  on  the  Salt  Master  is  easy  -- just turn it on! The default configuration is
       suitable for the vast majority of installations. The Salt Master can be controlled by  the
       local Linux/Unix service manager:

       On Systemd based platforms (newer Debian, openSUSE, Fedora):

          systemctl start salt-master

       On Upstart based systems (Ubuntu, older Fedora/RHEL):

          service salt-master start

       On SysV Init systems (Gentoo, older Debian etc.):

          /etc/init.d/salt-master start

       Alternatively, the Master can be started directly on the command-line:

          salt-master -d

       The  Salt  Master  can  also  be  started  in  the  foreground in debug mode, thus greatly
       increasing the command output:

          salt-master -l debug

       The Salt Master needs to bind to two TCP network ports on the system. These ports are 4505
       and  4506. For more in depth information on firewalling these ports, the firewall tutorial
       is available here.

   Finding the Salt Master
       When a minion starts, by default it searches for  a  system  that  resolves  to  the  salt
       hostname  on  the  network.   If  found,  the  minion  initiates  the  handshake  and  key
       authentication process with the Salt master.  This means that  the  easiest  configuration
       approach is to set internal DNS to resolve the name salt back to the Salt Master IP.

       Otherwise,  the minion configuration file will need to be edited so that the configuration
       option master points to the DNS name or the IP of the Salt Master:

       NOTE:
          The default location of the configuration files is /etc/salt. Most platforms adhere  to
          this convention, but platforms such as FreeBSD and Microsoft Windows place this file in
          different locations.

       /etc/salt/minion:

          master: saltmaster.example.com

   Setting up a Salt Minion
       NOTE:
          The Salt Minion can operate with or without a Salt Master.  This  walk-through  assumes
          that  the  minion  will  be  connected  to  the master, for information on how to run a
          master-less minion please see the master-less quick-start guide:

          Masterless Minion Quickstart

       Now that the master can be found, start the minion in the same way as the master; with the
       platform init system or via the command line directly:

       As a daemon:

          salt-minion -d

       In the foreground in debug mode:

          salt-minion -l debug

       When  the minion is started, it will generate an id value, unless it has been generated on
       a previous run and cached (in /etc/salt/minion_id by default). This is the name  by  which
       the  minion will attempt to authenticate to the master. The following steps are attempted,
       in order to try to find a value that is not localhost:

       1. The Python function socket.getfqdn() is run

       2. /etc/hostname is checked (non-Windows only)

       3. /etc/hosts  (%WINDIR%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts  on  Windows  hosts)  is  checked  for
          hostnames that map to anything within 127.0.0.0/8.

       If  none of the above are able to produce an id which is not localhost, then a sorted list
       of IP addresses on the minion (excluding any within 127.0.0.0/8) is inspected.  The  first
       publicly-routable   IP   address   is   used,  if  there  is  one.  Otherwise,  the  first
       privately-routable IP address is used.

       If all else fails, then localhost is used as a fallback.

       NOTE:
          Overriding the id

          The minion id can be manually specified using the id parameter  in  the  minion  config
          file.  If this configuration value is specified, it will override all other sources for
          the id.

       Now that the minion is started, it will generate cryptographic keys and attempt to connect
       to  the  master.  The next step is to venture back to the master server and accept the new
       minion's public key.

   Using salt-key
       Salt authenticates minions using public-key encryption and authentication. For a minion to
       start  accepting  commands  from  the  master,  the minion keys need to be accepted by the
       master.

       The salt-key command is used to manage all of the keys on the master.  To  list  the  keys
       that are on the master:

          salt-key -L

       The  keys  that  have  been  rejected,  accepted,  and pending acceptance are listed.  The
       easiest way to accept the minion key is to accept all pending keys:

          salt-key -A

       NOTE:
          Keys should be verified! Print the master key fingerprint by running salt-key -F master
          on  the  Salt  master. Copy the master.pub fingerprint from the Local Keys section, and
          then set this value as the master_finger in the minion configuration file. Restart  the
          Salt minion.

          On  the  master,  run  salt-key  -f  minion-id to print the fingerprint of the minion's
          public key that was received by the master. On the  minion,  run  salt-call  key.finger
          --local to print the fingerprint of the minion key.

          On the master:

              # salt-key -f foo.domain.com
              Unaccepted Keys:
              foo.domain.com:  39:f9:e4:8a:aa:74:8d:52:1a:ec:92:03:82:09:c8:f9

          On the minion:

              # salt-call key.finger --local
              local:
                  39:f9:e4:8a:aa:74:8d:52:1a:ec:92:03:82:09:c8:f9

          If they match, approve the key with salt-key -a foo.domain.com.

   Sending the First Commands
       Now  that the minion is connected to the master and authenticated, the master can start to
       command the minion.

       Salt commands allow for a vast set of functions to be executed and  for  specific  minions
       and groups of minions to be targeted for execution.

       The  salt  command  is comprised of command options, target specification, the function to
       execute, and arguments to the function.

       A simple command to start with looks like this:

          salt '*' test.version

       The * is the target, which specifies all minions.

       test.version tells the minion to run the test.version function.

       In the case of test.version, test refers to a execution module.   version  refers  to  the
       version function contained in the aforementioned test module.

       NOTE:
          Execution modules are the workhorses of Salt. They do the work on the system to perform
          various tasks, such as manipulating files and restarting services.

       The result of running this command will be the master instructing all of  the  minions  to
       execute  test.version  in parallel and return the result. Using test.version is a good way
       of confirming that a minion is connected, and reaffirm to the  user  the  salt  version(s)
       they have installed on the minions.

       NOTE:
          Each  minion registers itself with a unique minion ID. This ID defaults to the minion's
          hostname, but can be explicitly defined in the minion config as well by  using  the  id
          parameter.

       Of  course,  there  are  hundreds of other modules that can be called just as test.version
       can.  For example, the following would return disk usage on all targeted minions:

          salt '*' disk.usage

   Getting to Know the Functions
       Salt comes with a vast library of functions available for execution,  and  Salt  functions
       are  self-documenting.  To  see  what  functions  are available on the minions execute the
       sys.doc function:

          salt '*' sys.doc

       This will display a very large list of available functions and documentation on them.

       NOTE:
          Module documentation is also available on the web.

       These functions cover everything from shelling out to package management  to  manipulating
       database  servers. They comprise a powerful system management API which is the backbone to
       Salt configuration management and many other aspects of Salt.

       NOTE:
          Salt comes with many plugin systems. The functions that  are  available  via  the  salt
          command are called Execution Modules.

   Helpful Functions to Know
       The  cmd  module  contains  functions  to  shell  out  on  minions,  such  as  cmd.run and
       cmd.run_all:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'ls -l /etc'

       The pkg functions automatically map  local  system  package  managers  to  the  same  salt
       functions.  This  means  that  pkg.install  will install packages via yum on Red Hat based
       systems, apt on Debian systems, etc.:

          salt '*' pkg.install vim

       NOTE:
          Some custom Linux spins  and  derivatives  of  other  distributions  are  not  properly
          detected by Salt. If the above command returns an error message saying that pkg.install
          is not available, then you may need to override  the  pkg  provider.  This  process  is
          explained here.

       The  network.interfaces function will list all interfaces on a minion, along with their IP
       addresses, netmasks, MAC addresses, etc:

          salt '*' network.interfaces

   Changing the Output Format
       The default output format used for most Salt commands is called the nested outputter,  but
       there  are  several  other  outputters  that  can  be used to change the way the output is
       displayed. For instance, the pprint outputter can be used to display the return data using
       Python's pprint module:

          root@saltmaster:~# salt myminion grains.item pythonpath --out=pprint
          {'myminion': {'pythonpath': ['/usr/lib64/python2.7',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2',
                                       '/usr/lib64/python2.7/lib-tk',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gst-0.10',
                                       '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtk-2.0']}}

       The full list of Salt outputters, as well as example output, can be found here.

   salt-call
       The  examples  so  far  have  described  running  commands  from the Master using the salt
       command, but when troubleshooting it can  be  more  beneficial  to  login  to  the  minion
       directly and use salt-call.

       Doing so allows you to see the minion log messages specific to the command you are running
       (which are not part of the return data you see when running the command  from  the  Master
       using  salt),  making it unnecessary to tail the minion log. More information on salt-call
       and how to use it can be found here.

   Grains
       Salt uses a system called Grains to build up static data about minions. This data includes
       information  about  the  operating system that is running, CPU architecture and much more.
       The grains system is used throughout Salt to deliver platform data to many components  and
       to users.

       Grains  can  also  be  statically  set, this makes it easy to assign values to minions for
       grouping and managing.

       A common practice is to assign grains to minions to specify  what  the  role  or  roles  a
       minion  might  be.  These static grains can be set in the minion configuration file or via
       the grains.setval function.

   Targeting
       Salt allows for minions to be targeted based on a wide range  of  criteria.   The  default
       targeting  system  uses  globular expressions to match minions, hence if there are minions
       named larry1, larry2, curly1, and curly2, a glob of larry* will match larry1  and  larry2,
       and a glob of *1 will match larry1 and curly1.

       Many other targeting systems can be used other than globs, these systems include:

       Regular Expressions
              Target using PCRE-compliant regular expressions

       Grains Target based on grains data: Targeting with Grains

       Pillar Target based on pillar data: Targeting with Pillar

       IP     Target based on IP address/subnet/range

       Compound
              Create logic to target based on multiple targets: Targeting with Compound

       Nodegroup
              Target with nodegroups: Targeting with Nodegroup

       The  concepts of targets are used on the command line with Salt, but also function in many
       other areas as well, including the state system and the systems used  for  ACLs  and  user
       permissions.

   Passing in Arguments
       Many  of  the  functions  available accept arguments which can be passed in on the command
       line:

          salt '*' pkg.install vim

       This example passes the argument vim to the pkg.install function. Since many functions can
       accept  more  complex  input  than  just  a string, the arguments are parsed through YAML,
       allowing for more complex data to be sent on the command line:

          salt '*' test.echo 'foo: bar'

       In this case Salt translates the string 'foo: bar' into the dictionary "{'foo': 'bar'}"

       NOTE:
          Any line that contains a newline will not be parsed by YAML.

   Salt States
       Now that the basics are covered the time has come to evaluate States.  Salt States, or the
       State System is the component of Salt made for configuration management.

       The state system is already available with a basic Salt setup, no additional configuration
       is required. States can be set up immediately.

       NOTE:
          Before diving into the state system, a brief overview of  how  states  are  constructed
          will  make  many  of  the  concepts clearer. Salt states are based on data modeling and
          build on a low level data structure that is used to execute each state  function.  Then
          more logical layers are built on top of each other.

          The  high  layers  of  the  state  system  which  this  tutorial will cover consists of
          everything that needs to be known to use states, the two high layers covered  here  are
          the sls layer and the highest layer highstate.

          Understanding  the  layers  of  data  management  in  the  State  System will help with
          understanding states, but they never need to be  used.  Just  as  understanding  how  a
          compiler  functions assists when learning a programming language, understanding what is
          going on under the hood of a configuration management system will also prove  to  be  a
          valuable asset.

   The First SLS Formula
       The  state  system  is built on SLS (SaLt State) formulas. These formulas are built out in
       files on Salt's file server. To make a very  basic  SLS  formula  open  up  a  file  under
       /srv/salt  named vim.sls. The following state ensures that vim is installed on a system to
       which that state has been applied.

       /srv/salt/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

       Now install vim on the minions by calling the SLS directly:

          salt '*' state.apply vim

       This command will invoke the state system and run the vim SLS.

       Now, to beef up the vim SLS formula, a vimrc can be added:

       /srv/salt/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed: []

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://vimrc
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root

       Now the desired vimrc needs to be copied into the Salt file server to /srv/salt/vimrc.  In
       Salt,  everything  is  a file, so no path redirection needs to be accounted for. The vimrc
       file is placed right next to the vim.sls file.  The same command as above can be  executed
       to all the vim SLS formulas and now include managing the file.

       NOTE:
          Salt  does  not need to be restarted/reloaded or have the master manipulated in any way
          when changing SLS formulas. They are instantly available.

   Adding Some Depth
       Obviously maintaining SLS formulas right in a single directory at the  root  of  the  file
       server  will  not  scale  out  to  reasonably sized deployments. This is why more depth is
       required. Start by making an nginx formula a better way, make an  nginx  subdirectory  and
       add an init.sls file:

       /srv/salt/nginx/init.sls:

          nginx:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx

       A few concepts are introduced in this SLS formula.

       First is the service statement which ensures that the nginx service is running.

       Of course, the nginx service can't be started unless the package is installed -- hence the
       require statement which sets up a dependency between the two.

       The require statement makes sure that the required component is executed before  and  that
       it results in success.

       NOTE:
          The  require option belongs to a family of options called requisites.  Requisites are a
          powerful component of Salt States, for more information on how requisites work and what
          is available see: Requisites

          Also evaluation ordering is available in Salt as well: Ordering States

       This  new  sls  formula  has  a  special  name  --  init.sls. When an SLS formula is named
       init.sls it inherits the name of the directory path that contains it.  This formula can be
       referenced via the following command:

          salt '*' state.apply nginx

       NOTE:
          state.apply  is  just  another  remote  execution  function,  just like test.version or
          disk.usage. It simply takes the name of an SLS file as an argument.

       Now that subdirectories can be used, the vim.sls formula  can  be  cleaned  up.   To  make
       things  more  flexible, move the vim.sls and vimrc into a new subdirectory called edit and
       change the vim.sls file to reflect the change:

       /srv/salt/edit/vim.sls:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://edit/vimrc
              - mode: 644
              - user: root
              - group: root

       Only the source path to the vimrc file has changed.  Now  the  formula  is  referenced  as
       edit.vim  because  it  resides  in  the  edit subdirectory.  Now the edit subdirectory can
       contain formulas for emacs, nano, joe or any other editor that may need to be deployed.

       etc.

   So Much More!
       This  concludes  the  initial  Salt  walk-through, but there are many more things still to

       systems, extending Salt, modular components and more are not covered here. For an overview
       of all Salt features and documentation, look at the Table of Contents.

   Salt's Test Suite: An Introduction
       NOTE:
          This tutorial makes a couple of assumptions. The first assumption is that  you  have  a
          basic knowledge of Salt. To get up to speed, check out the Salt Walkthrough.

          The  second  assumption is that your Salt development environment is already configured
          and that you have a basic understanding of contributing to the Salt codebase. If you're
          unfamiliar  with  either  of  these  topics,  please  refer  to the Installing Salt for
          Development and the Contributing pages, respectively.

       Salt comes with a powerful integration and unit test suite. The test suite allows for  the
       fully automated run of integration and/or unit tests from a single interface.

       Salt's test suite is located under the tests directory in the root of Salt's code base and
       is divided into two main types of tests: unit tests and integration tests.  The  unit  and
       integration  sub-test-suites  are  located  in  the  tests  directory,  which is where the
       majority of Salt's test cases are housed.

   Getting Set Up For Tests
       First of all you will need to ensure you install nox.

          pip install nox

   Test Directory Structure
       As noted in the introduction to this tutorial, Salt's test suite is located in  the  tests
       directory  in  the  root  of  Salt's code base. From there, the tests are divided into two
       groups integration and unit. Within each of these  directories,  the  directory  structure
       roughly  mirrors  the  directory structure of Salt's own codebase.  For example, the files
       inside tests/integration/modules contains tests for the files located within salt/modules.

       NOTE:
          tests/integration and tests/unit are the only directories discussed in  this  tutorial.
          With  the  exception  of the tests/runtests.py file, which is used below in the Running
          the Test Suite section, the other directories and files located in  tests  are  outside
          the scope of this tutorial.

   Integration vs. Unit
       Given  that  Salt's  test  suite  contains  two  powerful,  though very different, testing
       approaches, when should you write integration tests and when should you write unit tests?

       Integration tests use Salt masters, minions, and  a  syndic  to  test  salt  functionality
       directly and focus on testing the interaction of these components. Salt's integration test
       runner includes functionality to  run  Salt  execution  modules,  runners,  states,  shell
       commands,  salt-ssh  commands,  salt-api  commands,  and  more. This provides a tremendous
       ability to use Salt to test itself and makes writing such  tests  a  breeze.   Integration
       tests are the preferred method of testing Salt functionality when possible.

       Unit  tests  do  not  spin  up  any  Salt daemons, but instead find their value in testing
       singular implementations of individual functions.  Instead  of  testing  against  specific
       interactions,  unit  tests should be used to test a function's logic. Unit tests should be
       used to test a function's exit point(s) such as any return or raises statements.

       Unit tests are also useful in cases  where  writing  an  integration  test  might  not  be
       possible.  While  the  integration test suite is extremely powerful, unfortunately at this
       time, it does not cover all functional areas of Salt's ecosystem. For example, at the time
       of  this  writing,  there is not a way to write integration tests for Proxy Minions. Since
       the test runner will need to be adjusted to account for Proxy Minion processes, unit tests
       can  still  provide  some  testing  support  in the interim by testing the logic contained
       inside Proxy Minion functions.

   Running the Test Suite
       Once all of the requirements are installed, the nox command is used to instantiate  Salt's
       test suite:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       The  command  above,  if  executed  without  any  options,  will  run  the entire suite of
       integration and unit tests. Some tests require certain flags to run, such  as  destructive
       tests.  If  these  flags are not included, then the test suite will only perform the tests
       that don't require special attention.

       At the end of the test run, you will see a  summary  output  of  the  tests  that  passed,
       failed, or were skipped.

       You can pass any pytest options after the nox command like so:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/modules/test_ps.py

       The  above  command  will  run the test_ps.py test with the zeromq transport, python3, and
       pytest. The option after -- can include any pytest options.

   Running Integration Tests
       Salt's set of integration tests use Salt to test itself. The integration  portion  of  the
       test  suite  includes  some  built-in Salt daemons that will spin up in preparation of the
       test run. This list of Salt daemon processes includes:

       • 2 Salt Masters

       • 2 Salt Minions

       • 1 Salt Syndic

       These various daemons are used to execute Salt commands and functionality within the  test
       suite, allowing you to write tests to assert against expected or unexpected behaviors.

       A  simple  example of a test utilizing a typical master/minion execution module command is
       the test for the test_ping function in the tests/integration/modules/test_test.py file:

          def test_ping(self):
              """
              test.ping
              """
              self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

       The test above is a very simple example where the test.ping function is executed by Salt's
       test suite runner and is asserting that the minion returned with a True response.

   Test Selection Options
       If  you want to run only a subset of tests, this is easily done with pytest. You only need
       to point the test runner to the directory. For example if you want to run all  integration
       module tests:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/

   Running Unit Tests
       If  you  want  to run only the unit tests, you can just pass the unit test directory as an
       option to the test runner.

       The unit tests do not spin up any Salt testing daemons as the  integration  tests  do  and
       execute very quickly compared to the integration tests.

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/

   Running Specific Tests
       There  are  times when a specific test file, test class, or even a single, individual test
       need to be executed, such as when writing new tests. In these situations, you  should  use
       the pytest syntax to select the specific tests.

       For  running  a  single  test file, such as the pillar module test file in the integration
       test directory, you must provide the file path.

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/test_pillar.py

       Some test files contain only one test class while other test files contain  multiple  test
       classes.  To  run a specific test class within the file, append the name of the test class
       to the end of the file path:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/test_pillar.py::PillarModuleTest

       To run a single test within a file, append both the name of the test class the  individual
       test belongs to, as well as the name of the test itself:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/integration/modules/test_pillar.py::PillarModuleTest::test_data

       The  following  command  is  an  example  of  how  to  execute  a single test found in the
       tests/unit/modules/test_cp.py file:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/modules/test_cp.py::CpTestCase::test_get_file_not_found

   Writing Tests for Salt
       Once you're comfortable running tests, you can now start writing them! Be sure  to  review
       the Integration vs. Unit section of this tutorial to determine what type of test makes the
       most sense for the code you're testing.

       NOTE:
          There are many decorators, naming conventions, and  code  specifications  required  for
          Salt  test  files. We will not be covering all of the these specifics in this tutorial.
          Please refer to the testing documentation links listed below in the Additional  Testing
          Documentation section to learn more about these requirements.

          In  the  following sections, the test examples assume the "new" test is added to a test
          file that is already present and regularly running in the test  suite  and  is  written
          with the correct requirements.

   Writing Integration Tests
       Since  integration  tests  validate  against  a  running  environment, as explained in the
       Running Integration Tests section of this tutorial, integration tests  are  very  easy  to
       write and are generally the preferred method of writing Salt tests.

       The  following  integration  test  is  an  example  taken  from  the  test.py  file in the
       tests/integration/modules directory. This test uses the run_function method  to  test  the
       functionality of a traditional execution module command.

       The  run_function  method  uses  the integration test daemons to execute a module.function
       command as you would with Salt. The minion runs the function and returns.  The  test  also
       uses Python's Assert Functions to test that the minion's return is expected.

          def test_ping(self):
              """
              test.ping
              """
              self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

       Args can be passed in to the run_function method as well:

          def test_echo(self):
              """
              test.echo
              """
              self.assertEqual(self.run_function("test.echo", ["text"]), "text")

       The  next  example  is  taken  from the tests/integration/modules/test_aliases.py file and
       demonstrates how to pass kwargs to the run_function call. Also note that  this  test  uses
       another  salt  function  to ensure the correct data is present (via the aliases.set_target
       call) before attempting to assert what the aliases.get_target call should return.

          def test_set_target(self):
              """
              aliases.set_target and aliases.get_target
              """
              set_ret = self.run_function("aliases.set_target", alias="fred", target="bob")
              self.assertTrue(set_ret)
              tgt_ret = self.run_function("aliases.get_target", alias="fred")
              self.assertEqual(tgt_ret, "bob")

       Using multiple Salt commands in this manner provides two useful  benefits.  The  first  is
       that it provides some additional coverage for the aliases.set_target function.  The second
       benefit is the call to aliases.get_target is not dependent on the presence of any  aliases
       set  outside  of  this  test.  Tests  should  not  be dependent on the previous execution,
       success, or failure of other tests. They should be isolated from other tests  as  much  as
       possible.

       While  it  might  be  tempting  to build out a test file where tests depend on one another
       before running, this should be avoided. SaltStack recommends that each test should test  a
       single  functionality  and  not  rely on other tests. Therefore, when possible, individual
       tests should also be broken up into singular pieces. These are  not  hard-and-fast  rules,
       but  serve  more  as  recommendations  to  keep  the  test  suite simple.  This helps with
       debugging code and related tests when failures occur and problems are exposed.  There  may
       be instances where large tests use many asserts to set up a use case that protects against
       potential regressions.

       NOTE:
          The examples above all use the run_function option to test execution  module  functions
          in a traditional master/minion environment. To see examples of how to test other common
          Salt components such as runners, salt-api, and more, please refer  to  the  Integration
          Test Class Examples documentation.

   Destructive vs Non-destructive Tests
       Since  Salt  is  used  to  change  the  settings  and behavior of systems, often, the best
       approach to run tests is to make actual changes to an underlying system.   This  is  where
       the  concept  of  destructive  integration tests comes into play.  Tests can be written to
       alter the system they are running on. This capability is what fills in the gap  needed  to
       properly test aspects of system management like package installation.

       To  write  a  destructive  test, import and use the destructiveTest decorator for the test
       method:

          import integration
          from tests.support.helpers import destructiveTest

          class PkgTest(integration.ModuleCase):
              @destructiveTest
              def test_pkg_install(self):
                  ret = self.run_function("pkg.install", name="finch")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)
                  ret = self.run_function("pkg.purge", name="finch")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)

   Writing Unit Tests
       As explained in the Integration vs. Unit section above, unit tests should  be  written  to
       test  the  logic  of  a  function.  This  includes  focusing  on testing return and raises
       statements. Substantial effort should be made to mock external resources that are used  in
       the code being tested.

       External  resources  that should be mocked include, but are not limited to, APIs, function
       calls, external data either globally available or passed in  through  function  arguments,
       file  data,  etc.  This practice helps to isolate unit tests to test Salt logic. One handy
       way to think about writing unit tests is to "block all of  the  exits".  More  information
       about  how  to  properly  mock  external  resources  can  be  found  in  Salt's  Unit Test
       documentation.

       Salt's unit tests utilize Python's mock class as well as MagicMock. The  @patch  decorator
       is also heavily used when "blocking all the exits".

       A  simple  example  of a unit test currently in use in Salt is the test_get_file_not_found
       test in the tests/unit/modules/test_cp.py file.  This test uses the @patch  decorator  and
       MagicMock to mock the return of the call to Salt's cp.hash_file execution module function.
       This  ensures  that  we're  testing  the  cp.get_file  function   directly,   instead   of
       inadvertently testing the call to cp.hash_file, which is used in cp.get_file.

          def test_get_file_not_found(self):
              """
              Test if get_file can't find the file.
              """
              with patch("salt.modules.cp.hash_file", MagicMock(return_value=False)):
                  path = "salt://saltines"
                  dest = "/srv/salt/cheese"
                  ret = ""
                  assert cp.get_file(path, dest) == ret

       Note that Salt's cp module is imported at the top of the file, along with all of the other
       necessary testing imports. The get_file function is then called directed  in  the  testing
       function,  instead  of  using  the run_function method as the integration test examples do
       above.

       The call to cp.get_file returns an empty string when a hash_file isn't found.   Therefore,
       the  example  above  is  a  good  illustration of a unit test "blocking the exits" via the
       @patch decorator, as well as testing logic via asserting against the return  statement  in
       the  if  clause.  In  this  example  we  used  the python assert to verify the return from
       cp.get_file. Pytest allows you to use these asserts when writing your tests and, in  fact,
       plain  asserts is the preferred way to assert anything in your tests. As Salt dives deeper
       into Pytest, the use of unittest.TestClass will be replaced by plain  test  functions,  or
       test  functions  grouped in a class, which does not subclass unittest.TestClass, which, of
       course, doesn't work with unittest assert functions.

       There are more examples of writing unit tests of varying  complexities  available  in  the
       following docs:

       • Simple Unit Test Example

       • Complete Unit Test Example

       • Complex Unit Test Example

       NOTE:
          Considerable care should be made to ensure that you're testing something useful in your
          test functions. It is very easy to fall into a situation where you have mocked so  much
          of  the  original function that the test results in only asserting against the data you
          have provided. This results in a poor and fragile unit test.

   Add a python module dependency to the test run
       The test dependencies  for  python  modules  are  managed  under  the  requirements/static
       directory.   You   will   need   to   add  your  module  to  the  appropriate  file  under
       requirements/static.  When pre-commit is run it will create all of the needed  requirement
       files  under  requirements/static/py3{5,6,7}. Nox will then use these files to install the
       requirements for the tests.

   Add a system dependency to the test run
       If you need to add a system dependency for the test run, this will need to be added in the
       salt jenkins repo. This repo uses salt states to install system dependencies.  You need to
       update the state-tree/golden-images-provision.sls file with your dependency to  ensure  it
       is  installed.  Once  your  PR is merged the core team will need to promote the new images
       with your new dependency installed.

   Checking for Log Messages
       To test to see if a given log message has been emitted, the following pattern can be used

          # Import logging handler
          from tests.support.helpers import TstSuiteLoggingHandler

          # .. inside test
          with TstSuiteLoggingHandler() as handler:
              for message in handler.messages:
                  if message.startswith("ERROR: This is the error message we seek"):
                      break
                  else:
                      raise AssertionError("Did not find error message")

   Automated Test Runs
       SaltStack    maintains    a    Jenkins    server    which     can     be     viewed     at
       https://jenkins.saltproject.io.  The  tests executed from this Jenkins server create fresh
       virtual machines for each test run, then execute the destructive tests on the  new,  clean
       virtual machine. This allows for the execution of tests across supported platforms.

   Troubleshooting
       The  intent of the troubleshooting section is to introduce solutions to a number of common
       issues encountered by users and the tools that are available to aid in  developing  States
       and Salt code.

   Troubleshooting the Salt Master
       If  your  Salt  master is having issues such as minions not returning data, slow execution
       times,  or  a  variety  of  other  issues,  the  following  links   contain   details   on
       troubleshooting the most common issues encountered:

   Troubleshooting the Salt Master
   Running in the Foreground
       A  great  deal of information is available via the debug logging system, if you are having
       issues with minions connecting or not starting run the master in the foreground:

          # salt-master -l debug

       Anyone wanting to run Salt daemons via a process  supervisor  such  as  monit,  runit,  or
       supervisord, should omit the -d argument to the daemons and run them in the foreground.

   What Ports does the Master Need Open?
       For  the  master,  TCP  ports  4505 and 4506 need to be open. If you've put both your Salt
       master and minion in debug mode and don't see  an  acknowledgment  that  your  minion  has
       connected,  it  could  very  well  be  a firewall interfering with the connection. See our
       firewall configuration page for help opening the firewall on various platforms.

       If you've opened the correct TCP ports and still aren't seeing connections, check that  no
       additional access control system such as SELinux or AppArmor is blocking Salt.

   Too many open files
       The  salt-master  needs  at  least  2  sockets  per  host that connects to it, one for the
       Publisher and one for response port. Thus, large installations may, upon  scaling  up  the
       number of minions accessing a given master, encounter:

          12:45:29,289 [salt.master    ][INFO    ] Starting Salt worker process 38
          Too many open files
          sock != -1 (tcp_listener.cpp:335)

       The  solution  to  this  would be to check the number of files allowed to be opened by the
       user running salt-master (root by default):

          [root@salt-master ~]# ulimit -n
          1024

       If this value is not equal to at least twice the number of minions, then it will  need  to
       be  raised.  For  example, in an environment with 1800 minions, the nofile limit should be
       set   to   no   less   than   3600.   This   can   be   done   by   creating   the    file
       /etc/security/limits.d/99-salt.conf, with the following contents:

          root        hard    nofile        4096
          root        soft    nofile        4096

       Replace root with the user under which the master runs, if different.

       If  your master does not have an /etc/security/limits.d directory, the lines can simply be
       appended to /etc/security/limits.conf.

       As with any change to resource limits, it is best to stay logged into your  current  shell
       and  open  another  shell  to run ulimit -n again and verify that the changes were applied
       correctly. Additionally, if your master is running upstart, it may be necessary to specify
       the  nofile  limit  in  /etc/default/salt-master if upstart isn't respecting your resource
       limits:

          limit nofile 4096 4096

       NOTE:
          The above is simply an example of how to set these values, and you may wish to increase
          them even further if your Salt master is doing more than just running Salt.

   Salt Master Stops Responding
       There are known bugs with ZeroMQ versions less than 2.1.11 which can cause the Salt master
       to not respond properly. If you're running a ZeroMQ  version  greater  than  or  equal  to
       2.1.9,  you  can  work  around  the  bug  by  setting  the  sysctls  net.core.rmem_max and
       net.core.wmem_max to  16777216.  Next,  set  the  third  field  in  net.ipv4.tcp_rmem  and
       net.ipv4.tcp_wmem to at least 16777216.

       You can do it manually with something like:

          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem

       Or with the following Salt state:

          net.core.rmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.core.wmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_rmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_wmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

   Live Python Debug Output
       If the master seems to be unresponsive, a SIGUSR1 can be passed to the salt-master threads
       to display what piece of code is executing. This debug information can  be  invaluable  in
       tracking down bugs.

       To  pass a SIGUSR1 to the master, first make sure the master is running in the foreground.
       Stop the service if it is running as a daemon, and start it in the foreground like so:

          # salt-master -l debug

       Then pass the signal to the master when it seems to be unresponsive:

          # killall -SIGUSR1 salt-master

       When filing an issue or sending questions to the  mailing  list  for  a  problem  with  an
       unresponsive daemon, be sure to include this information if possible.

   Live Salt-Master Profiling
       When  faced  with performance problems one can turn on master process profiling by sending
       it SIGUSR2.

          # killall -SIGUSR2 salt-master

       This will activate yappi profiler inside salt-master code, then after some time  one  must
       send  SIGUSR2  again  to  stop  profiling  and  save results to file. If run in foreground
       salt-master will report filename for the results, which are usually located under /tmp  on
       Unix-based OSes and c:\temp on windows.

       Make sure you have yappi installed.

       Results can then be analyzed with kcachegrind or similar tool.

       Make sure you have yappi installed.

       On  Windows,  in  the  absence  of  kcachegrind,  a  simple  file-based workflow to create
       profiling graphs could use gprof2dot, graphviz and this batch file:

          ::
          :: Converts callgrind* profiler output to *.pdf, via *.dot
          ::
          @echo off
          del *.dot.pdf
          for /r %%f in (callgrind*) do (
          echo "%%f"
              gprof2dot.exe -f callgrind --show-samples  "%%f" -o "%%f.dot"
              dot.exe "%%f.dot" -Tpdf -O
              del "%%f.dot"
          )

   Commands Time Out or Do Not Return Output
       Depending on your OS (this is most common on Ubuntu due  to  apt-get)  you  may  sometimes
       encounter times where a state.apply, or other long running commands do not return output.

       By  default  the timeout is set to 5 seconds. The timeout value can easily be increased by
       modifying the timeout line within your /etc/salt/master configuration file.

       Having keys accepted for Salt minions that no longer  exist  or  are  not  reachable  also
       increases  the  possibility  of timeouts, since the Salt master waits for those systems to
       return command results.

   Passing the -c Option to Salt Returns a Permissions Error
       Using the -c option with the Salt command modifies the configuration directory.  When  the
       configuration  file  is read it will still base data off of the root_dir setting. This can
       result in unintended behavior if you are expecting  files  such  as  /etc/salt/pki  to  be
       pulled  from  the  location specified with -c. Modify the root_dir setting to address this
       behavior.

   Salt Master Doesn't Return Anything While Running jobs
       When a command being run via Salt takes a very long time to return (package installations,
       certain  scripts,  etc.) the master may drop you back to the shell. In most situations the
       job is still running but Salt has exceeded the set timeout before returning. Querying  the
       job  queue  will  provide the data of the job but is inconvenient. This can be resolved by
       either manually using the -t option to set a longer  timeout  when  running  commands  (by
       default  it  is 5 seconds) or by modifying the master configuration file: /etc/salt/master
       and setting the timeout value to change the default timeout for  all  commands,  and  then
       restarting the salt-master service.

       If a state.apply run takes too long, you can find a bottleneck by adding the --out=profile
       option.

   Salt Master Auth Flooding
       In  large  installations,  care  must  be  taken  not  to  overwhealm  the   master   with
       authentication  requests.  Several  options  can  be  set on the master which mitigate the
       chances of an authentication flood from causing an interruption in service.

       NOTE:
          recon_default:

          The average number of seconds to wait between reconnection attempts.

          recon_max:
                 The maximum number of seconds to wait between reconnection attempts.

          recon_randomize:
                 A flag to indicate whether the recon_default value should be randomized.

          acceptance_wait_time:
                 The number of seconds to wait for a reply to each authentication request.

          random_reauth_delay:
                 The range of seconds across  which  the  minions  should  attempt  to  randomize
                 authentication attempts.

          auth_timeout:
                 The total time to wait for the authentication process to complete, regardless of
                 the number of attempts.

   Running states locally
       To debug the states, you can use call locally.

          salt-call -l trace --local state.highstate

       The top.sls file is used to map what SLS modules get loaded  onto  what  minions  via  the
       state system.

       It  is  located  in  the  file  defined  in  the  file_roots  variable  of the salt master
       configuration  file  which  is   defined   by   found   in   CONFIG_DIR/master,   normally
       /etc/salt/master

       The default configuration for the file_roots is:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       So the top file is defaulted to the location /srv/salt/top.sls

   Salt Master Umask
       The  salt  master  uses a cache to track jobs as they are published and returns come back.
       The recommended umask for a salt-master is 022, which is the default for most users  on  a
       system.  Incorrect  umasks can result in permission-denied errors when the master tries to
       access files in its cache.

   Troubleshooting the Salt Minion
       In the event that  your  Salt  minion  is  having  issues,  a  variety  of  solutions  and
       suggestions are available. Please refer to the following links for more information:

   Troubleshooting the Salt Minion
   Running in the Foreground
       A  great  deal of information is available via the debug logging system, if you are having
       issues with minions connecting or not starting run the minion in the foreground:

       Anyone wanting to run Salt daemons via a process  supervisor  such  as  monit,  runit,  or
       supervisord, should omit the -d argument to the daemons and run them in the foreground.

   What Ports does the Minion Need Open?
       No  ports need to be opened on the minion, as it makes outbound connections to the master.
       If you've put  both  your  Salt  master  and  minion  in  debug  mode  and  don't  see  an
       acknowledgment  that  your  minion  has  connected,  it  could  very  well  be  a firewall
       interfering with the connection. See our firewall configuration page for help opening  the
       firewall on various platforms.

       If  you have netcat installed, you can check port connectivity from the minion with the nc
       command:

          $ nc -v -z salt.master.ip.addr 4505
          Connection to salt.master.ip.addr 4505 port [tcp/unknown] succeeded!
          $ nc -v -z salt.master.ip.addr 4506
          Connection to salt.master.ip.addr 4506 port [tcp/unknown] succeeded!

       The Nmap utility can also be used to check if these ports are open:

          # nmap -sS -q -p 4505-4506 salt.master.ip.addr

          Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-12-29 19:44 CST
          Nmap scan report for salt.master.ip.addr (10.0.0.10)
          Host is up (0.0026s latency).
          PORT     STATE  SERVICE
          4505/tcp open   unknown
          4506/tcp open   unknown
          MAC Address: 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC (Intel)

          Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.64 seconds

       If you've opened the correct TCP ports and still aren't seeing connections, check that  no
       additional  access control system such as SELinux or AppArmor is blocking Salt. Tools like
       tcptraceroute can also be used to determine if  an  intermediate  device  or  firewall  is
       blocking the needed TCP ports.

   Using salt-call
       The  salt-call  command was originally developed for aiding in the development of new Salt
       modules. Since then, many applications have been developed for  running  any  Salt  module
       locally  on  a  minion.  These  range  from  the original intent of salt-call (development
       assistance), to gathering more verbose output from calls like state.apply.

       When initially creating your state tree, it is generally recommended to invoke  highstates
       by  running state.apply directly from the minion with salt-call, rather than remotely from
       the master. This displays far  more  information  about  the  execution  than  calling  it
       remotely. For even more verbosity, increase the loglevel using the -l argument:

          # salt-call -l debug state.apply

       The  main  difference between using salt and using salt-call is that salt-call is run from
       the minion, and it only runs the selected function on that minion. By  contrast,  salt  is
       run  from  the master, and requires you to specify the minions on which to run the command
       using salt's targeting system.

   Live Python Debug Output
       If the minion seems to be unresponsive, a SIGUSR1 can be passed to the process to  display
       what piece of code is executing. This debug information can be invaluable in tracking down
       bugs.

       To pass a SIGUSR1 to the minion, first make sure the minion is running in the  foreground.
       Stop the service if it is running as a daemon, and start it in the foreground like so:

          # salt-minion -l debug

       Then pass the signal to the minion when it seems to be unresponsive:

          # killall -SIGUSR1 salt-minion

       When  filing  an  issue  or  sending  questions  to the mailing list for a problem with an
       unresponsive daemon, be sure to include this information if possible.

   Multiprocessing in Execution Modules
       As is outlined in github issue #6300, Salt cannot use python's multiprocessing  pipes  and
       queues  from  execution  modules.  Multiprocessing from the execution modules is perfectly
       viable, it is just necessary to use Salt's event  system  to  communicate  back  with  the
       process.

       The  reason  for  this  difficulty is that python attempts to pickle all objects in memory
       when communicating, and it cannot pickle function objects. Since the  Salt  loader  system
       creates and manages function objects this causes the pickle operation to fail.

   Salt Minion Doesn't Return Anything While Running Jobs Locally
       When a command being run via Salt takes a very long time to return (package installations,
       certain scripts, etc.) the minion may drop you back to the shell. In most  situations  the
       job  is still running but Salt has exceeded the set timeout before returning. Querying the
       job queue will provide the data of the job but is inconvenient. This can  be  resolved  by
       either  manually  using  the  -t  option to set a longer timeout when running commands (by
       default it is 5 seconds) or by modifying the minion configuration  file:  /etc/salt/minion
       and  setting  the  timeout  value to change the default timeout for all commands, and then
       restarting the salt-minion service.

       NOTE:
          Modifying the minion timeout value is not required when running commands  from  a  Salt
          Master. It is only required when running commands locally on the minion.

       If a state.apply run takes too long, you can find a bottleneck by adding the --out=profile
       option.

   Running in the Foreground
       A great deal of information is available via the debug logging system, if you  are  having
       issues  with  minions  connecting  or  not  starting  run  the minion and/or master in the
       foreground:

          salt-master -l debug
          salt-minion -l debug

       Anyone wanting to run Salt daemons via a process  supervisor  such  as  monit,  runit,  or
       supervisord, should omit the -d argument to the daemons and run them in the foreground.

   What Ports do the Master and Minion Need Open?
       No ports need to be opened up on each minion. For the master, TCP ports 4505 and 4506 need
       to be open. If you've put both your Salt master and minion in debug mode and don't see  an
       acknowledgment that your minion has connected, it could very well be a firewall.

       You can check port connectivity from the minion with the nc command:

          nc -v -z salt.master.ip 4505
          nc -v -z salt.master.ip 4506

       There is also a firewall configuration document that might help as well.

       If  you've  enabled  the  right TCP ports on your operating system or Linux distribution's
       firewall and still aren't seeing connections, check  that  no  additional  access  control
       system such as SELinux or AppArmor is blocking Salt.

   Using salt-call
       The  salt-call  command was originally developed for aiding in the development of new Salt
       modules. Since then, many applications have been developed for  running  any  Salt  module
       locally  on  a  minion.  These  range  from  the original intent of salt-call, development
       assistance, to gathering more verbose output from calls like state.apply.

       When initially creating your state tree, it is generally recommended to invoke state.apply
       directly  from  the  minion  with  salt-call,  rather  than remotely from the master. This
       displays far more information about the execution than calling it remotely. For even  more
       verbosity, increase the loglevel using the -l argument:

          salt-call -l debug state.apply

       The  main  difference between using salt and using salt-call is that salt-call is run from
       the minion, and it only runs the selected function on that minion. By  contrast,  salt  is
       run  from  the master, and requires you to specify the minions on which to run the command
       using salt's targeting system.

   Too many open files
       The salt-master needs at least 2 sockets per  host  that  connects  to  it,  one  for  the
       Publisher  and  one  for response port. Thus, large installations may, upon scaling up the
       number of minions accessing a given master, encounter:

          12:45:29,289 [salt.master    ][INFO    ] Starting Salt worker process 38
          Too many open files
          sock != -1 (tcp_listener.cpp:335)

       The solution to this would be to check the number of files allowed to  be  opened  by  the
       user running salt-master (root by default):

          [root@salt-master ~]# ulimit -n
          1024

       And modify that value to be at least equal to the number of minions x 2.  This setting can
       be changed in limits.conf as the nofile value(s), and activated upon new a  login  of  the
       specified user.

       So, an environment with 1800 minions, would need 1800 x 2 = 3600 as a minimum.

   Salt Master Stops Responding
       There are known bugs with ZeroMQ versions less than 2.1.11 which can cause the Salt master
       to not respond properly. If you're running a ZeroMQ  version  greater  than  or  equal  to
       2.1.9,  you  can  work  around  the  bug  by  setting  the  sysctls  net.core.rmem_max and
       net.core.wmem_max to  16777216.  Next,  set  the  third  field  in  net.ipv4.tcp_rmem  and
       net.ipv4.tcp_wmem to at least 16777216.

       You can do it manually with something like:

          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
          # echo 16777216 > /proc/sys/net/core/wmem_max
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_rmem
          # echo "4096 87380 16777216" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_wmem

       Or with the following Salt state:

          net.core.rmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.core.wmem_max:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_rmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

          net.ipv4.tcp_wmem:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 4096 87380 16777216

   Salt and SELinux
       Currently  there  are  no  SELinux  policies for Salt. For the most part Salt runs without
       issue when SELinux is running in Enforcing mode. This is because when the minion  executes
       as a daemon the type context is changed to initrc_t.  The problem with SELinux arises when
       using salt-call or running the minion in the foreground,  since  the  type  context  stays
       unconfined_t.

       This  problem  is generally manifest in the rpm install scripts when using the pkg module.
       Until a full SELinux Policy is available for Salt the solution to this issue is to set the
       execution context of salt-call and salt-minion to rpm_exec_t:

          # CentOS 5 and RHEL 5:
          chcon -t system_u:system_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-minion
          chcon -t system_u:system_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-call

          # CentOS 6 and RHEL 6:
          chcon system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-minion
          chcon system_u:object_r:rpm_exec_t:s0 /usr/bin/salt-call

       This works well, because the rpm_exec_t context has very broad control over other types.

   Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
       Salt  requires  Python  2.6  or 2.7. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and its variants come with
       Python 2.4 installed by default. When installing on RHEL 5 from the EPEL  repository  this
       is  handled  for you. But, if you run Salt from git, be advised that its dependencies need
       to be installed from EPEL and that Salt needs to be run with the python26 executable.

   Common YAML Gotchas
       An extensive list of YAML idiosyncrasies has been compiled:

   YAML Idiosyncrasies
       One of Salt's strengths, the use of existing serialization systems  for  representing  SLS
       data, can also backfire. YAML is a general purpose system and there are a number of things
       that would seem to make sense in an sls file that cause YAML issues.  It  is  wise  to  be
       aware  of  these  issues.  While  reports or running into them are generally rare they can
       still crop up at unexpected times.

   Spaces vs Tabs
       YAML uses spaces, period. Do not use tabs in your SLS files! If strange errors are  coming
       up  in  rendering  SLS files, make sure to check that no tabs have crept in! In Vim, after
       enabling search highlighting with: :set hlsearch,  you can check with  the  following  key
       sequence in normal mode(you can hit ESC twice to be sure): /, Ctrl-v, Tab, then hit Enter.
       Also, you can convert tabs to 2 spaces by these commands in Vim: :set tabstop=2  expandtab
       and then :retab.

   Indentation
       The  suggested  syntax  for  YAML  files is to use 2 spaces for indentation, but YAML will
       follow whatever indentation system that the  individual  file  uses.  Indentation  of  two
       spaces  works  very  well  for  SLS  files given the fact that the data is uniform and not
       deeply nested.

   Nested Dictionaries
       When dictionaries are nested  within  other  data  structures  (particularly  lists),  the
       indentation  logic sometimes changes.  Examples of where this might happen include context
       and default options from the file.managed state:

          /etc/http/conf/http.conf:
            file:
              - managed
              - source: salt://apache/http.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  custom_var: "override"
              - defaults:
                  custom_var: "default value"
                  other_var: 123

       Notice that while the indentation is two spaces  per  level,  for  the  values  under  the
       context  and defaults options there is a four-space indent. If only two spaces are used to
       indent, then those keys will be considered part of the same dictionary that  contains  the
       context key, and so the data will not be loaded correctly. If using a double indent is not
       desirable, then a deeply-nested dict can be declared with curly braces:

          /etc/http/conf/http.conf:
            file:
              - managed
              - source: salt://apache/http.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - template: jinja
              - context: {
                custom_var: "override" }
              - defaults: {
                custom_var: "default value",
                other_var: 123 }

       Here is a more concrete example of how YAML actually handles these indentations, using the
       Python interpreter on the command line:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load(
          ...     """mystate:
          ...   file.managed:
          ...     - context:
          ...         some: var"""
          ... )
          {'mystate': {'file.managed': [{'context': {'some': 'var'}}]}}
          >>> yaml.safe_load(
          ...     """mystate:
          ...   file.managed:
          ...     - context:
          ...       some: var"""
          ... )
          {'mystate': {'file.managed': [{'some': 'var', 'context': None}]}}

       Note  that  in  the  second  example, some is added as another key in the same dictionary,
       whereas in the first example, it's the start of a new dictionary.  That's the distinction.
       context  is  a  common  example because it is a keyword arg for many functions, and should
       contain a dictionary.

   Multi-line Strings
       Similarly, when a multi-line string is nested within a list item (such as when  using  the
       contents  argument  for  a  file.managed state), the indentation must be doubled. Take for
       example the following state:

          /tmp/foo.txt:
            file.managed:
              - contents: |
                foo
                bar
                baz

       This is invalid YAML, and will result in a rather cryptic error when you try  to  run  the
       state:

          myminion:
              Data failed to compile:
          ----------
              Rendering SLS 'base:test' failed: could not find expected ':'; line 5

          ---
          /tmp/foo.txt:
            file.managed:
              - contents: |
                foo
                bar    <======================
                baz

          ---

       The correct indentation would be as follows:

          /tmp/foo.txt:
            file.managed:
              - contents: |
                  foo
                  bar
                  baz

   True/False, Yes/No, On/Off
       PyYAML  will load these values as boolean True or False. Un-capitalized versions will also
       be loaded as booleans (true, false,  yes,  no,  on,  and  off).  This  can  be  especially
       problematic  when  constructing Pillar data. Make sure that your Pillars which need to use
       the string versions of these values are enclosed in quotes. Pillars will be  parsed  twice
       by salt, so you'll need to wrap your values in multiple quotes, including double quotation
       marks (" ") and single quotation marks ('  ').  Note  that  spaces  are  included  in  the
       quotation type examples for clarity.

       Multiple quoting examples looks like this:

          - '"false"'
          - "'True'"
          - "'YES'"
          - '"No"'

       NOTE:
          When using multiple quotes in this manner, they must be different. Using "" "" or '' ''
          won't work in this case (spaces are included in examples for clarity).

   The '%' Sign
       The % symbol has a special meaning in YAML, it needs to be passed as a string literal:

          cheese:
            ssh_auth.present:
              - user: tbortels
              - source: salt://ssh_keys/chease.pub
              - config: '%h/.ssh/authorized_keys'

   Time Expressions
       PyYAML will load a time expression as the integer value of that, assuming  HH:MM.  So  for
       example,  12:00  is loaded by PyYAML as 720. An excellent explanation for why can be found
       here.

       To keep time expressions like this from being loaded as integers, always quote them.

       NOTE:
          When using a jinja load_yaml map, items must be quoted twice. For example:

              {% load_yaml as wsus_schedule %}

              FRI_10:
                time: '"23:00"'
                day: 6 - Every Friday
              SAT_10:
                time: '"06:00"'
                day: 7 - Every Saturday
              SAT_20:
                time: '"14:00"'
                day: 7 - Every Saturday
              SAT_30:
                time: '"22:00"'
                day: 7 - Every Saturday
              SUN_10:
                time: '"06:00"'
                day: 1 - Every Sunday
              {% endload %}

   YAML does not like Double Short Decs
       If I can find a way to make YAML accept "Double Short Decs" then I  will,  since  I  think
       that  double  short decs would be awesome. So what is a "Double Short Dec"? It is when you
       declare a multiple short decs in one ID. Here is a standard short dec, it works great:

          vim:
            pkg.installed

       The short dec means that there are no arguments to pass, so it is not required to add  any
       arguments, and it can save space.

       YAML though, gets upset when declaring multiple short decs, for the record...

       THIS DOES NOT WORK:

          vim:
            pkg.installed
            user.present

       Similarly  declaring  a  short  dec  in  the  same  ID dec as a standard dec does not work
       either...

       ALSO DOES NOT WORK:

          fred:
            user.present
            ssh_auth.present:
              - name: AAAAB3NzaC...
              - user: fred
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - require:
                - user: fred

       The correct way is to define them like this:

          vim:
            pkg.installed: []
            user.present: []

          fred:
            user.present: []
            ssh_auth.present:
              - name: AAAAB3NzaC...
              - user: fred
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - require:
                - user: fred

       Alternatively,  they can be defined the "old way",  or with multiple "full decs":

          vim:
            pkg:
              - installed
            user:
              - present

          fred:
            user:
              - present
            ssh_auth:
              - present
              - name: AAAAB3NzaC...
              - user: fred
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - require:
                - user: fred

   YAML supports only plain ASCII
       According to YAML specification, only ASCII characters can be used.

       Within double-quotes, special characters may be represented with C-style escape  sequences
       starting with a backslash ( \ ).

       Examples:

          - micro: "\u00b5"
          - copyright: "\u00A9"
          - A: "\x41"
          - alpha: "\u0251"
          - Alef: "\u05d0"

       List of usable Unicode characters  will help you to identify correct numbers.

       Python can also be used to discover the Unicode number for a character:

          repr(u"Text with wrong characters i need to figure out")

       This shell command can find wrong characters in your SLS files:

          find . -name '*.sls'  -exec  grep --color='auto' -P -n '[^\x00-\x7F]' \{} \;

       Alternatively you can toggle the yaml_utf8 setting in your master configuration file. This
       is still an experimental setting but it should manage the  right  encoding  conversion  in
       salt after yaml states compilations.

   Underscores stripped in Integer Definitions
       If  a definition only includes numbers and underscores, it is parsed by YAML as an integer
       and all underscores are stripped.  To ensure the object becomes a  string,  it  should  be
       surrounded by quotes.  More information here.

       Here's an example:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load("2013_05_10")
          20130510
          >>> yaml.safe_load('"2013_05_10"')
          '2013_05_10'

   Automatic datetime conversion
       If  there  is  a  value in a YAML file formatted 2014-01-20 14:23:23 or similar, YAML will
       automatically convert this to a Python datetime object.  These  objects  are  not  msgpack
       serializable,  and  so  may  break  core  salt functionality.  If values such as these are
       needed in a salt YAML file (specifically a configuration file), they should  be  formatted
       with surrounding strings to force YAML to serialize them as strings:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load("2014-01-20 14:23:23")
          datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 20, 14, 23, 23)
          >>> yaml.safe_load('"2014-01-20 14:23:23"')
          '2014-01-20 14:23:23'

       Additionally,  numbers  formatted  like  XXXX-XX-XX  will  also be converted (or YAML will
       attempt to convert them, and error out if it doesn't think the date is a real one).  Thus,
       for  example,  if  a  minion  were  to have an ID of 4017-16-20 the minion would not start
       because YAML would complain that the date was out of range.  The workaround is  the  same,
       surround the offending string with quotes:

          >>> import yaml
          >>> yaml.safe_load("4017-16-20")
          Traceback (most recent call last):
            File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
            File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/yaml/__init__.py", line 93, in safe_load

              return datetime.date(year, month, day)
          ValueError: month must be in 1..12
          >>> yaml.safe_load('"4017-16-20"')
          '4017-16-20'

   Keys Limited to 1024 Characters
       Simple  keys are limited by the YAML Spec to a single line, and cannot be longer that 1024
       characters. PyYAML enforces these limitations (see here), and therefore anything parsed as
       YAML in Salt is subject to them.

   Live Python Debug Output
       If the minion or master seems to be unresponsive, a SIGUSR1 can be passed to the processes
       to display where in the code they are running. If encountering a situation like this, this
       debug  information  can be invaluable. First make sure the master of minion are running in
       the foreground:

          salt-master -l debug
          salt-minion -l debug

       Then pass the signal to the master or minion when it seems to be unresponsive:

          killall -SIGUSR1 salt-master
          killall -SIGUSR1 salt-minion

       Also under BSD and macOS in addition to  SIGUSR1  signal,  debug  subroutine  set  up  for
       SIGINFO which has an advantage of being sent by Ctrl+T shortcut.

       When  filing  an  issue  or  sending  questions  to the mailing list for a problem with an
       unresponsive daemon this information can be invaluable.

   Salt 0.16.x minions cannot communicate with a 0.17.x master
       As of release 0.17.1 you can no longer run different versions of Salt on your  Master  and
       Minion servers. This is due to a protocol change for security purposes. The Salt team will
       continue to attempt to ensure versions are as backwards compatible as possible.

   Debugging the Master and Minion
       A list of common master and minion troubleshooting steps  provide  a  starting  point  for
       resolving issues you may encounter.

   Is Salt open-core?
       No.  Salt  is  100%  committed  to  being  open-source,  including  all of our APIs. It is
       developed under the Apache  2.0  license,  allowing  it  to  be  used  in  both  open  and
       proprietary projects.

       To expand on this a little:

       There  is  much  argument over the actual definition of "open core".  From our standpoint,
       Salt is open source because

       1. It is a standalone product that anyone is free to use.

       2. It is developed in the open with contributions accepted from the community for the good
          of the project.

       3. There  are  no  features  of  Salt  itself  that are restricted to separate proprietary
          products distributed by SaltStack, Inc.

       4. Because of our Apache 2.0 license, Salt can be used as the foundation for a project  or
          even a proprietary tool.

       5. Our  APIs are open and documented (any lack of documentation is an oversight as opposed
          to an intentional decision by SaltStack the company) and available for use by anyone.

       SaltStack the company does make proprietary products which use  Salt  and  its  libraries,
       like  company is free to do, but we do so via the APIs, NOT by forking Salt and creating a
       different, closed-source version of it for paying customers.

   I think I found a bug! What should I do?
       The salt-users mailing list as well as the salt IRC channel can both be helpful  resources
       to confirm if others are seeing the issue and to assist with immediate debugging.

       To report a bug to the Salt project, please follow the instructions in reporting a bug.

   What ports should I open on my firewall?
       Minions  need  to be able to connect to the Master on TCP ports 4505 and 4506.  Minions do
       not need any inbound ports open. More detailed information on  firewall  settings  can  be
       found here.

   I'm  seeing  weird  behavior (including but not limited to packages not installing their users
       properly)
       This is often caused by SELinux.  Try disabling SELinux or putting it in  permissive  mode
       and see if the weird behavior goes away.

   My script runs every time I run a state.apply. Why?
       You  are  probably using cmd.run rather than cmd.wait. A cmd.wait state will only run when
       there has been a change in a state that it is watching.

       A cmd.run state will run the corresponding command every time (unless it is prevented from
       running by the unless or onlyif arguments).

       More details can be found in the documentation for the cmd states.

   When  I run test.ping, why don't the Minions that aren't responding return anything? Returning
       False would be helpful.
       When you run test.ping the Master tells Minions to run commands/functions, and listens for
       the  return  data,  printing  it to the screen when it is received.  If it doesn't receive
       anything back, it doesn't have anything to display for that Minion.

       There are a couple options for getting information on Minions that are not responding. One
       is  to  use the verbose (-v) option when you run salt commands, as it will display "Minion
       did not return" for any Minions which time out.

          salt -v '*' pkg.install zsh

       Another option is to use the manage.down runner:

          salt-run manage.down

       Also, if the Master is under heavy load, it is possible that the  CLI  will  exit  without
       displaying  return  data  for  all  targeted  Minions. However, this doesn't mean that the
       Minions did not return; this only means  that  the  Salt  CLI  timed  out  waiting  for  a
       response.  Minions  will  still  send  their  return  data back to the Master once the job
       completes. If any expected Minions are missing from the  CLI  output,  the  jobs.list_jobs
       runner  can  be  used  to  show  the  job  IDs  of  the  jobs  that have been run, and the
       jobs.lookup_jid runner can be used to get the return data for that job.

          salt-run jobs.list_jobs
          salt-run jobs.lookup_jid 20130916125524463507

       If you find that you are often missing Minion return data on the CLI, only to find it with
       the  jobs  runners,  then  this may be a sign that the worker_threads value may need to be
       increased in the master config file. Additionally, running your Salt CLI commands with the
       -t option will make Salt wait longer for the return data before the CLI command exits. For
       instance, the below command will wait up to 60 seconds for the Minions to return:

          salt -t 60 '*' test.ping

   How does Salt determine the Minion's id?
       If the Minion id is  not  configured  explicitly  (using  the  id  parameter),  Salt  will
       determine  the  id  based  on the hostname. Exactly how this is determined varies a little
       between operating systems and is described in detail here.

   I'm trying to manage packages/services but I get  an  error  saying  that  the  state  is  not
       available. Why?
       Salt  detects  the  Minion's  operating  system and assigns the correct package or service
       management module based on what is detected. However, for  certain  custom  spins  and  OS
       derivatives  this  detection  fails.  In cases like this, an issue should be opened on our
       tracker, with the following information:

       1. The output of the following command:

             salt <minion_id> grains.items | grep os

       2. The contents of /etc/lsb-release, if present on the Minion.

   Why aren't my custom modules/states/etc. available on my Minions?
       Custom modules are synced to Minions when saltutil.sync_modules, or  saltutil.sync_all  is
       run.

       Similarly,   custom   states   are   synced   to  Minions  when  saltutil.sync_states,  or
       saltutil.sync_all is run.

       They are both also synced when a highstate is triggered.

       As of the 2019.2.0 release, as well as 2017.7.7 and 2018.3.2 in their  respective  release
       cycles,  the  sync argument to state.apply/state.sls can be used to sync custom types when
       running individual SLS files.

       Other  custom  types  (renderers,  outputters,  etc.)  have  similar  behavior,  see   the
       documentation for the saltutil module for more information.

       This  reactor  example  can  be  used  to  automatically sync custom types when the minion
       connects to the master, to help with this chicken-and-egg issue.

   Module X isn't available, even though the shell command it uses is installed. Why?
       This is most likely a PATH issue. Did you custom-compile the  software  which  the  module
       requires?   RHEL/CentOS/etc.   in   particular   override   the   root   user's   path  in
       /etc/init.d/functions,  setting  it  to  /sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin,  making   software
       installed  into  /usr/local/bin  unavailable  to Salt when the Minion is started using the
       initscript. In version 2014.1.0, Salt will have  a  better  solution  for  these  sort  of
       PATH-related issues, but recompiling the software to install it into a location within the
       PATH should resolve the issue in the meantime. Alternatively, you can  create  a  symbolic
       link within the PATH using a file.symlink state.

          /usr/bin/foo:
            file.symlink:
              - target: /usr/local/bin/foo

   Can I run different versions of Salt on my Master and Minion?
       This  depends  on  the  versions.   In  general,  it is recommended that Master and Minion
       versions match.

       When  upgrading  Salt,  the  master(s)  should  always  be  upgraded   first.    Backwards
       compatibility  for  minions  running  newer  versions  of  salt  than their masters is not
       guaranteed.

       Whenever possible, backwards compatibility between new masters and  old  minions  will  be
       preserved.   Generally,  the  only  exception  to  this  policy  is  in case of a security
       vulnerability.

       Recent examples of backwards compatibility breakage include the 0.17.1 release (where  all
       backwards compatibility was broken due to a security fix), and the 2014.1.0 release (which
       retained compatibility between 2014.1.0 masters and 0.17 minions, but broke  compatibility
       for 2014.1.0 minions and older masters).

   Does Salt support backing up managed files?
       Yes.  Salt  provides an easy to use addition to your file.managed states that allow you to
       back up files via backup_mode, backup_mode can be configured on a per state basis,  or  in
       the  minion config (note that if set in the minion config this would simply be the default
       method to use, you still need to specify that the file should be backed up!).

   Is it possible to deploy a file to a specific minion, without other minions having  access  to
       it?
       The  Salt  fileserver  does not yet support access control, but it is still possible to do
       this. As of Salt 2015.5.0, the file_tree external pillar  is  available,  and  allows  the
       contents  of  a  file  to  be  loaded  as  Pillar data. This external pillar is capable of
       assigning  Pillar  values  both  to  individual  minions,  and  to  nodegroups.  See   the
       documentation for details on how to set this up.

       Once  the  external  pillar  has  been  set  up,  the data can be pushed to a minion via a
       file.managed state, using the contents_pillar argument:

          /etc/my_super_secret_file:
            file.managed:
              - user: secret
              - group: secret
              - mode: 600
              - contents_pillar: secret_files:my_super_secret_file

       In this example, the source file would be  located  in  a  directory  called  secret_files
       underneath  the  file_tree  path  for  the  minion.  The  syntax for specifying the pillar
       variable is the same  one  used  for  pillar.get,  with  a  colon  representing  a  nested
       dictionary.

       WARNING:
          Deploying  binary  contents  using  the  file.managed  state  is only supported in Salt
          2015.8.4 and newer.

   What is the best way to restart a Salt Minion daemon using Salt after upgrade?
       Updating the salt-minion package requires  a  restart  of  the  salt-minion  service.  But
       restarting  the  service  while in the middle of a state run interrupts the process of the
       Minion running states and sending results back to the Master. A common way  to  workaround
       that is to schedule restarting the Minion service in the background by issuing a salt-call
       command calling service.restart function. This prevents the Minion being disconnected from
       the  Master  immediately.  Otherwise  you would get Minion did not return. [Not connected]
       message as the result of a state run.

   Upgrade without automatic restart
       Doing the Minion upgrade seems to be a simplest state in your SLS file at first.  But  the
       operating systems such as Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and their derivatives start the service
       after the package installation by default.  To prevent this,  we  need  to  create  policy
       layer which will prevent the Minion service to restart right after the upgrade:

          {%- if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}

          Disable starting services:
            file.managed:
              - name: /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 0755
              - contents:
                - '#!/bin/sh'
                - exit 101
              # do not touch if already exists
              - replace: False
              - prereq:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

          {%- endif %}

          Upgrade Salt Minion:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: salt-minion
              - version: 2016.11.3{% if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}+ds-1{% endif %}
              - order: last

          Enable Salt Minion:
            service.enabled:
              - name: salt-minion
              - require:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

          {%- if grains['os_family'] == 'Debian' %}

          Enable starting services:
            file.absent:
              - name: /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
              - onchanges:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

          {%- endif %}

   Restart using states
       Now  we  can  apply  the  workaround to restart the Minion in reliable way.  The following
       example works on UNIX-like operating systems:

          {%- if grains['os'] != 'Windows' %}
          Restart Salt Minion:
            cmd.run:
              - name: 'salt-call service.restart salt-minion'
              - bg: True
              - onchanges:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion
          {%- endif %}

       Note that restarting the salt-minion service on Windows operating systems  is  not  always
       necessary when performing an upgrade. The installer stops the salt-minion service, removes
       it, deletes the contents of the \salt\bin directory, installs the new code, re-creates the
       salt-minion  service,  and  starts  it  (by  default). The restart step would be necessary
       during the upgrade process, however, if the minion config was edited after the upgrade  or
       installation. If a minion restart is necessary, the state above can be edited as follows:

          Restart Salt Minion:
            cmd.run:
          {%- if grains['kernel'] == 'Windows' %}
              - name: 'C:\salt\salt-call.bat service.restart salt-minion'
          {%- else %}
              - name: 'salt-call service.restart salt-minion'
          {%- endif %}
              - bg: True
              - onchanges:
                - pkg: Upgrade Salt Minion

       However,  it  requires more advanced tricks to upgrade from legacy version of Salt (before
       2016.3.0) on UNIX-like operating systems, where executing commands in  the  background  is
       not  supported.  You  also  may  need  to  schedule  restarting  the  Minion service using
       masterless mode after all other states have been applied for Salt  versions  earlier  than
       2016.11.0.  This  allows  the  Minion to keep the connection to the Master alive for being
       able to report the final results back to the Master, while the service  is  restarting  in
       the background. This state should run last or watch for the pkg state changes:

          Restart Salt Minion:
            cmd.run:
          {%- if grains['kernel'] == 'Windows' %}
              - name: 'start powershell "Restart-Service -Name salt-minion"'
          {%- else %}
              # fork and disown the process
              - name: |-
                  exec 0>&- # close stdin
                  exec 1>&- # close stdout
                  exec 2>&- # close stderr
                  nohup salt-call --local service.restart salt-minion &
          {%- endif %}

   Restart using remote executions
       Restart the Minion from the command line:

          salt -G kernel:Windows cmd.run_bg 'C:\salt\salt-call.bat service.restart salt-minion'
          salt -C 'not G@kernel:Windows' cmd.run_bg 'salt-call service.restart salt-minion'

   Waiting for minions to come back online
       A  common  issue  in performing automated restarts of a salt minion, for example during an
       orchestration run, is that it will break the orchestration since  the  next  statement  is
       likely to be attempted before the minion is back online. This can be remedied by inserting
       a blocking waiting state that only returns when the selected minions are  back  up  (note:
       this will only work in orchestration states since manage.up needs to run on the master):

          Wait for salt minion:
            loop.until_no_eval:
              - name: saltutil.runner
              - expected:
                  - my_minion
              - args:
                  - manage.up
              - kwargs:
                  tgt: my_minion
              - period: 3
              - init_wait: 3

       This  will,  after  an  initial  delay of 3 seconds, execute the manage.up-runner targeted
       specifically for my_minion. It will do this every period seconds until the  expected  data
       is returned. The default timeout is 60s but can be configured as well.

   Salting the Salt Master
       In  order to configure a master server via states, the Salt master can also be "salted" in
       order to enforce state on the Salt master as well as the Salt minions.  Salting  the  Salt
       master requires a Salt minion to be installed on the same machine as the Salt master. Once
       the Salt minion is installed, the minion configuration file must be pointed to  the  local
       Salt master:

          master: 127.0.0.1

       Once  the  Salt  master has been "salted" with a Salt minion, it can be targeted just like
       any other minion. If the minion on the  salted  master  is  running,  the  minion  can  be
       targeted  via  any  usual  salt  command.  Additionally, the salt-call command can execute
       operations to enforce state on the salted  master  without  requiring  the  minion  to  be
       running.

       More  information  about salting the Salt master can be found in the salt-formula for salt
       itself:

       https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/salt-formula

       Restarting the salt-master service using execution module or application of state could be
       done the same way as for the Salt minion described above.

   Is Targeting using Grain Data Secure?
       WARNING:
          Grains  can  be  set by users that have access to the minion configuration files on the
          local system, making them less secure than other identifiers  in  Salt.  Avoid  storing
          sensitive  data,  such  as  passwords  or keys, on minions. Instead, make use of pillar
          and/or sdb.

       Because grains can be set by users that have access to the minion configuration  files  on
       the  local  system,  grains are considered less secure than other identifiers in Salt. Use
       caution when targeting sensitive operations or setting pillar values based on grain data.

       The only grain which can be safely used is grains['id'] which contains the Minion ID.

       When possible, you should target sensitive operations and data using the Minion ID. If the
       Minion  ID  of  a  system  changes, the Salt Minion's public key must be re-accepted by an
       administrator on the Salt Master, making it less vulnerable to impersonation attacks.

   Why Did the Value for a Grain Change on Its Own?
       This is usually the result of an upstream change in an OS distribution  that  replaces  or
       removes something that Salt was using to detect the grain.  Fortunately, when this occurs,
       you can use Salt to fix it with a command similar to the following:

          salt -G 'grain:ChangedValue' grains.setvals "{'grain': 'OldValue'}"

       (Replacing grain, ChangedValue, and OldValue with the grain and values that  you  want  to
       change / set.)

       You should also file an issue describing the change so it can be fixed in Salt.

   Salt Best Practices
       Salt's   extreme   flexibility  leads  to  many  questions  concerning  the  structure  of
       configuration files.

       This document exists to clarify these points through examples and code.

       IMPORTANT:
          The guidance here should be taken in combination with hardening-salt.

   General rules
       1. Modularity and clarity should be emphasized whenever possible.

       2. Create clear relations between pillars and states.

       3. Use variables when it makes sense but don't overuse them.

       4. Store sensitive data in pillar.

       5. Don't use grains for matching in your pillar top file for any sensitive pillars.

          WARNING:
             Grains can be set by users that have access to the minion configuration files on the
             local  system, making them less secure than other identifiers in Salt. Avoid storing
             sensitive data, such as passwords or keys, on minions. Instead, make use  of  pillar
             and/or sdb.

   Structuring States and Formulas
       When  structuring  Salt  States  and  Formulas it is important to begin with the directory
       structure. A proper directory structure clearly defines the functionality of each state to
       the user via visual inspection of the state's name.

       Reviewing  the  MySQL  Salt  Formula  it is clear to see the benefits to the end-user when
       reviewing a sample of the available states:

          /srv/salt/mysql/files/
          /srv/salt/mysql/client.sls
          /srv/salt/mysql/map.jinja
          /srv/salt/mysql/python.sls
          /srv/salt/mysql/server.sls

       This directory structure would lead to these states being referenced in a top file in  the
       following way:

          base:
            'web*':
              - mysql.client
              - mysql.python
            'db*':
              - mysql.server

       This  clear  definition ensures that the user is properly informed of what each state will
       do.

       Another example comes from the vim-formula:

          /srv/salt/vim/files/
          /srv/salt/vim/absent.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/init.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/map.jinja
          /srv/salt/vim/nerdtree.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/pyflakes.sls
          /srv/salt/vim/salt.sls

       Once again viewing how this would look in a top file:

       /srv/salt/top.sls:

          base:
            'web*':
              - vim
              - vim.nerdtree
              - vim.pyflakes
              - vim.salt
            'db*':
              - vim.absent

       The usage of a clear top-level directory as well as  properly  named  states  reduces  the
       overall  complexity  and leads a user to both understand what will be included at a glance
       and where it is located.

       In addition Formulas should be used as often as possible.

       NOTE:
          Formulas repositories on the  saltstack-formulas  GitHub  organization  should  not  be
          pointed  to directly from systems that automatically fetch new updates such as GitFS or
          similar tooling. Instead formulas repositories should be forked  on  GitHub  or  cloned
          locally, where unintended, automatic changes will not take place.

   Structuring Pillar Files
       Pillars  are  used to store secure and insecure data pertaining to minions. When designing
       the structure of the /srv/pillar directory, the pillars contained within should once again
       be  focused  on  clear  and  concise  data  which  users  can  easily  review, modify, and
       understand.

       The /srv/pillar/ directory is primarily controlled by top.sls. It should be noted that the
       pillar  top.sls  is  not  used  as  a  location to declare variables and their values. The
       top.sls is used as a way to include other pillar files  and  organize  the  way  they  are
       matched based on environments or grains.

       An example top.sls may be as simple as the following:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages

       Any  number  of  matchers  can  be  added to the base environment. For example, here is an
       expanded version of the Pillar top file stated above:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - packages
            'web*':
              - apache
              - vim

       Or an even more complicated example, using a variety of matchers in numerous environments:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - apache
          dev:
            'os:Debian':
              - match: grain
              - vim
          test:
            '* and not G@os: Debian':
              - match: compound
              - emacs

       It is clear to see through these examples how the top file provides users with  power  but
       when used incorrectly it can lead to confusing configurations. This is why it is important
       to understand that the top file for pillar is not used for variable definitions.

       Each SLS file within the /srv/pillar/ directory should correspond to the states  which  it
       matches.

       This  would  mean  that  the  apache  pillar  file should contain data relevant to Apache.
       Structuring files in this way once again ensures  modularity,  and  creates  a  consistent
       understanding  throughout  our  Salt  environment.  Users can expect that pillar variables
       found in an Apache state will live inside of an Apache pillar:

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              name: httpd
              config:
                tmpl: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf

       While this pillar file is simple, it shows how a pillar file  explicitly  relates  to  the
       state it is associated with.

   Variable Flexibility
       Salt allows users to define variables in SLS files. When creating a state variables should
       provide users with as much flexibility as possible. This means that  variables  should  be
       clearly defined and easy to manipulate, and that sane defaults should exist in the event a
       variable is not properly defined. Looking at several examples shows  how  these  different
       items can lead to extensive flexibility.

       Although it is possible to set variables locally, this is generally not preferred:

       /srv/salt/apache/conf.sls:

          {% set name = 'httpd' %}
          {% set tmpl = 'salt://apache/files/httpd.conf' %}

          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ name }}
              - source: {{ tmpl }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       When  generating  this  information it can be easily transitioned to the pillar where data
       can be overwritten, modified, and applied to multiple states, or locations within a single
       state:

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              name: httpd
              config:
                tmpl: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf

       /srv/salt/apache/conf.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:name') }}
              - source: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:config:tmpl') }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       This  flexibility provides users with a centralized location to modify variables, which is
       extremely important as an environment grows.

   Modularity Within States
       Ensuring that states are modular is one of the key concepts  to  understand  within  Salt.
       When  creating a state a user must consider how many times the state could be re-used, and
       what it relies on to operate. Below are several examples which  will  iteratively  explain
       how a user can go from a state which is not very modular to one that is:

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          httpd:
            pkg:
              - installed
            service.running:
              - enable: True

          /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf
              - template: jinja
              - watch_in:
                - service: httpd

       The  example  above  is probably the worst-case scenario when writing a state.  There is a
       clear lack of focus by naming both the pkg/service, and managed file directly as the state
       ID.  This  would  lead  to changing multiple requires within this state, as well as others
       that may depend upon the state.

       Imagine if a require was used for the httpd package in another state,  and  then  suddenly
       it's  a  custom package. Now changes need to be made in multiple locations which increases
       the complexity and leads to a more error prone configuration.

       There is also the issue of having the configuration file located in the init,  as  a  user
       would be unable to simply install the service and use the default conf file.

       Our  second  revision  begins  to  address  the referencing by using - name, as opposed to
       direct ID references:

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd
            service.running:
              - name: httpd
              - enable: True

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf
              - template: jinja
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       The above init file is better than our original, yet it has several issues which lead to a
       lack  of  modularity.  The first of these problems is the usage of static values for items
       such as the name of the service, the name of the managed  file,  and  the  source  of  the
       managed  file.  When  these  items  are hard coded they become difficult to modify and the
       opportunity to make mistakes arises. It also leads to multiple edits that  need  to  occur
       when  changing  these  items (imagine if there were dozens of these occurrences throughout
       the state!). There is also still the concern of the configuration file data living in  the
       same state as the service and package.

       In  the  next example steps will be taken to begin addressing these issues.  Starting with
       the addition of a map.jinja file (as noted in the Formula documentation), and modification
       of static values:

       /srv/salt/apache/map.jinja:

          {% set apache = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
                  'server': 'apache2',
                  'service': 'apache2',
                  'conf': '/etc/apache2/apache.conf',
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'server': 'httpd',
                  'service': 'httpd',
                  'conf': '/etc/httpd/httpd.conf',
              },
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup')) %}

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              config:
                tmpl: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ apache.server }}
            service.running:
              - name: {{ apache.service }}
              - enable: True

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ apache.conf }}
              - source: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:config:tmpl') }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       The  changes  to this state now allow us to easily identify the location of the variables,
       as well as ensuring they are flexible and easy to modify.  While this takes  another  step
       in  the right direction, it is not yet complete.  Suppose the user did not want to use the
       provided conf file, or even their own configuration file, but  the  default  apache  conf.
       With the current state setup this is not possible. To attain this level of modularity this
       state will need to be broken into two states.

       /srv/salt/apache/map.jinja:

          {% set apache = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
                  'server': 'apache2',
                  'service': 'apache2',
                  'conf': '/etc/apache2/apache.conf',
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'server': 'httpd',
                  'service': 'httpd',
                  'conf': '/etc/httpd/httpd.conf',
              },
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup')) %}

       /srv/pillar/apache.sls:

          apache:
            lookup:
              config:
                tmpl: salt://apache/files/httpd.conf

       /srv/salt/apache/init.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ apache.server }}
            service.running:
              - name: {{ apache.service }}
              - enable: True

       /srv/salt/apache/conf.sls:

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}

          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ apache.conf }}
              - source: {{ salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup:config:tmpl') }}
              - template: jinja
              - user: root
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       This new structure now allows users to choose  whether  they  only  wish  to  install  the
       default  Apache,  or  if  they wish, overwrite the default package, service, configuration
       file location, or the configuration file itself. In addition to this  the  data  has  been
       broken between multiple files allowing for users to identify where they need to change the
       associated data.

   Storing Secure Data
       Secure data refers to any information that  you  would  not  wish  to  share  with  anyone
       accessing a server. This could include data such as passwords, keys, or other information.

       As all data within a state is accessible by EVERY server that is connected it is important
       to store secure data within pillar. This will ensure that only those servers which require
       this  secure  data  have  access  to  it.  In  this  example a use can go from an insecure
       configuration to one which is only accessible by the appropriate hosts:

       /srv/salt/mysql/testerdb.sls:

          testdb:
            mysql_database.present:
              - name: testerdb

       /srv/salt/mysql/user.sls:

          include:
            - mysql.testerdb

          testdb_user:
            mysql_user.present:
              - name: frank
              - password: "test3rdb"
              - host: localhost
              - require:
                - sls: mysql.testerdb

       Many users would review this state and see that the password is there in plain text, which
       is quite problematic. It results in several issues which may not be immediately visible.

       The  first  of  these  issues is clear to most users -- the password being visible in this
       state. This  means that any minion will have a copy of this, and  therefore  the  password
       which  is  a  major  security  concern as minions may not be locked down as tightly as the
       master server.

       The other issue that can be encountered is access by users on the master. If everyone  has
       access  to  the  states (or their repository), then they are able to review this password.
       Keeping your password data accessible by only a few users is critical  for  both  security
       and peace of mind.

       There  is also the issue of portability. When a state is configured this way it results in
       multiple changes needing to be made. This was discussed in the sections above but it is  a
       critical idea to drive home. If states are not portable it may result in more work later!

       Fixing  this  issue  is  relatively  simple,  the  content  just  needs to be moved to the
       associated pillar:

       /srv/pillar/mysql.sls:

          mysql:
            lookup:
              name: testerdb
              password: test3rdb
              user: frank
              host: localhost

       /srv/salt/mysql/testerdb.sls:

          testdb:
            mysql_database.present:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:name') }}

       /srv/salt/mysql/user.sls:

          include:
            - mysql.testerdb

          testdb_user:
            mysql_user.present:
              - name: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:user') }}
              - password: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:password') }}
              - host: {{ salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup:host') }}
              - require:
                - sls: mysql.testerdb

       Now that the database details have been moved to the associated pillar file, only machines
       which  are  targeted  via  pillar  will have access to these details.  Access to users who
       should not be able to review these details can also be prevented while ensuring that  they
       are still able to write states which take advantage of this information.

REMOTE EXECUTION

       Running pre-defined or arbitrary commands on remote hosts, also known as remote execution,
       is the core function of Salt. The following links explore modules and returners, which are
       two key elements of remote execution.

       Salt Execution Modules

       Salt execution modules are called by the remote execution system to perform a wide variety
       of tasks. These modules provide functionality such as installing  packages,  restarting  a
       service, running a remote command, transferring files, and so on.

                 Contains: a guide on how to write Salt modules.

   Running Commands on Salt Minions
       Salt  can  be controlled by a command line client by the root user on the Salt master. The
       Salt command line client uses the Salt client API to  communicate  with  the  Salt  master
       server. The Salt client is straightforward and simple to use.

       Using the Salt client commands can be easily sent to the minions.

       Each  of  these commands accepts an explicit --config option to point to either the master
       or  minion  configuration  file.   If  this  option  is  not  provided  and  the   default
       configuration  file  does  not exist then Salt falls back to use the environment variables
       SALT_MASTER_CONFIG and SALT_MINION_CONFIG.

       SEE ALSO:
          Configuration

   Using the Salt Command
       The Salt command needs a few components to send  information  to  the  Salt  minions.  The
       target  minions  need  to  be defined, the function to call and any arguments the function
       requires.

   Defining the Target Minions
       The first argument passed to salt, defines the target  minions,  the  target  minions  are
       accessed via their hostname. The default target type is a bash glob:

          salt '*foo.com' sys.doc

       Salt can also define the target minions with regular expressions:

          salt -E '.*' cmd.run 'ls -l | grep foo'

       Or to explicitly list hosts, salt can take a list:

          salt -L foo.bar.baz,quo.qux cmd.run 'ps aux | grep foo'

   More Powerful Targets
       See Targeting.

   Calling the Function
       The function to call on the specified target is placed after the target specification.

       New in version 0.9.8.

       Functions may also accept arguments, space-delimited:

          salt '*' cmd.exec_code python 'import sys; print sys.version'

       Optional, keyword arguments are also supported:

          salt '*' pip.install salt timeout=5 upgrade=True

       They are always in the form of kwarg=argument.

       Arguments are formatted as YAML:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'echo "Hello: $FIRST_NAME"' env='{FIRST_NAME: "Joe"}'

       Note:  dictionaries  must  have  curly  braces  around them (like the env keyword argument
       above).  This was changed in 0.15.1: in the above example, the first argument used  to  be
       parsed  as  the  dictionary  {'echo  "Hello':  '$FIRST_NAME"'}. This was generally not the
       expected behavior.

       If you want to test what parameters are actually passed to a module, use the test.arg_repr
       command:

          salt '*' test.arg_repr 'echo "Hello: $FIRST_NAME"' env='{FIRST_NAME: "Joe"}'

   Finding available minion functions
       The  Salt functions are self documenting, all of the function documentation can be retried
       from the minions via the sys.doc() function:

          salt '*' sys.doc

   Compound Command Execution
       If a series of commands needs to be  sent  to  a  single  target  specification  then  the
       commands  can  be  sent in a single publish. This can make gathering groups of information
       faster, and lowers the stress on the network for repeated commands.

       Compound command execution works by sending a list of functions and arguments  instead  of
       sending  a  single  function and argument. The functions are executed on the minion in the
       order they are defined on the command line, and then the data from all of the commands are
       returned  in a dictionary. This means that the set of commands are called in a predictable
       way, and the returned data can be easily interpreted.

       Executing compound commands if done by  passing  a  comma  delimited  list  of  functions,
       followed by a comma delimited list of arguments:

          salt '*' cmd.run,test.ping,test.echo 'cat /proc/cpuinfo',,foo

       The  trick  to look out for here, is that if a function is being passed no arguments, then
       there needs to be a placeholder for the  absent  arguments.  This  is  why  in  the  above
       example,  there are two commas right next to each other.  test.ping takes no arguments, so
       we need to add another comma, otherwise Salt would attempt to pass "foo" to test.ping.

       If you need to pass arguments that include commas, then make sure you  add  spaces  around
       the commas that separate arguments. For example:

          salt '*' cmd.run,test.ping,test.echo 'echo "1,2,3"' , , foo

       You may change the arguments separator using the --args-separator option:

          salt --args-separator=:: '*' some.fun,test.echo params with , comma :: foo

   CLI Completion
       Shell completion scripts for the Salt CLI are available in the pkg Salt source directory.

   Writing Execution Modules
       Salt execution modules are the functions called by the salt command.

   Modules Are Easy to Write!
       Writing Salt execution modules is straightforward.

       A  Salt  execution  module  is  a  Python  or  Cython  module placed in a directory called
       _modules/ at the root of the Salt fileserver. When using the  default  fileserver  backend
       (i.e.  roots),  unless environments are otherwise defined in the file_roots config option,
       the _modules/ directory would be located in /srv/salt/_modules on most systems.

       Modules placed in _modules/ will be synced to the minions when any of the  following  Salt
       functions are called:

       • state.highstate (or state.apply with no state argument)

       • saltutil.sync_modulessaltutil.sync_all

       Modules  placed  in  _modules/  will  be  synced to masters when any of the following Salt
       runners are called:

       • saltutil.sync_modulessaltutil.sync_all

       Note that a module's default name is its filename (i.e. foo.py becomes  module  foo),  but
       that its name can be overridden by using a __virtual__ function.

       If  a Salt module has errors and cannot be imported, the Salt minion will continue to load
       without issue and the module with errors will simply be omitted.

       If adding a Cython module the file must be named <modulename>.pyx so that the loader knows
       that  the  module  needs  to be imported as a Cython module. The compilation of the Cython
       module is automatic and happens when  the  minion  starts,  so  only  the  *.pyx  file  is
       required.

   Zip Archives as Modules
       Python  2.3 and higher allows developers to directly import zip archives containing Python
       code. By setting enable_zip_modules to True in the minion config, the Salt loader will  be
       able  to  import .zip files in this fashion. This allows Salt module developers to package
       dependencies with their modules for ease of deployment, isolation, etc.

       For a user, Zip Archive modules behave just like other modules.  When executing a function
       from a module provided as the file my_module.zip, a user would call a function within that
       module as my_module.<function>.

   Creating a Zip Archive Module
       A Zip Archive module is structured similarly to a simple Python package.   The  .zip  file
       contains  a  single  directory  with  the  same  name  as  the  module.   The  module code
       traditionally in  <module_name>.py  goes  in  <module_name>/__init__.py.   The  dependency
       packages are subdirectories of <module_name>/.

       Here  is  an  example directory structure for the lumberjack module, which has two library
       dependencies (sleep and work) to be included.

          modules $ ls -R lumberjack
          __init__.py     sleep           work

          lumberjack/sleep:
          __init__.py

          lumberjack/work:
          __init__.py

       The contents  of  lumberjack/__init__.py  show  how  to  import  and  use  these  included
       libraries.

          # Libraries included in lumberjack.zip
          from lumberjack import sleep, work

          def is_ok(person):
              """Checks whether a person is really a lumberjack"""
              return sleep.all_night(person) and work.all_day(person)

       Then, create the zip:

          modules $ zip -r lumberjack lumberjack
            adding: lumberjack/ (stored 0%)
            adding: lumberjack/__init__.py (deflated 39%)
            adding: lumberjack/sleep/ (stored 0%)
            adding: lumberjack/sleep/__init__.py (deflated 7%)
            adding: lumberjack/work/ (stored 0%)
            adding: lumberjack/work/__init__.py (deflated 7%)
          modules $ unzip -l lumberjack.zip
          Archive:  lumberjack.zip
            Length     Date   Time    Name
           --------    ----   ----    ----
                  0  08-21-15 20:08   lumberjack/
                348  08-21-15 20:08   lumberjack/__init__.py
                  0  08-21-15 19:53   lumberjack/sleep/
                 83  08-21-15 19:53   lumberjack/sleep/__init__.py
                  0  08-21-15 19:53   lumberjack/work/
                 81  08-21-15 19:21   lumberjack/work/__init__.py
           --------                   -------
                512                   6 files

       Once placed in file_roots, Salt users can distribute and use lumberjack.zip like any other
       module.

          $ sudo salt minion1 saltutil.sync_modules
          minion1:
            - modules.lumberjack
          $ sudo salt minion1 lumberjack.is_ok 'Michael Palin'
          minion1:
            True

   Cross Calling Execution Modules
       All of the Salt execution modules are  available  to  each  other  and  modules  can  call
       functions available in other execution modules.

       The  variable  __salt__  is  packed  into  the modules after they are loaded into the Salt
       minion.

       The __salt__ variable is a  Python  dictionary  containing  all  of  the  Salt  functions.
       Dictionary  keys  are strings representing the names of the modules and the values are the
       functions themselves.

       Salt modules can be cross-called by accessing the value in the __salt__ dict:

          def foo(bar):
              return __salt__["cmd.run"](bar)

       This code will call the run function in the cmd module and pass the argument bar to it.

   Calling Execution Modules on the Salt Master
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       Execution modules can now also be called via the salt-run command using the salt runner.

   Preloaded Execution Module Data
       When interacting with execution modules often it is nice to be able  to  read  information
       dynamically about the minion or to load in configuration parameters for a module.

       Salt allows for different types of data to be loaded into the modules by the minion.

   Grains Data
       The  values detected by the Salt Grains on the minion are available in a Python dictionary
       named __grains__ and can be accessed from within callable objects in the Python modules.

       To see the contents of the grains dictionary for a given system in your deployment run the
       grains.items() function:

          salt 'hostname' grains.items --output=pprint

       Any  value  in  a  grains  dictionary  can be accessed as any other Python dictionary. For
       example, the grain representing the minion ID  is  stored  in  the  id  key  and  from  an
       execution module, the value would be stored in __grains__['id'].

   Module Configuration
       Since  parameters  for  configuring a module may be desired, Salt allows for configuration
       information from the  minion configuration file to be passed to execution modules.

       Since the minion configuration file is a YAML document, arbitrary configuration  data  can
       be  passed  in  the  minion  config  that is read by the modules. It is therefore strongly
       recommended that the values passed in the configuration file  match  the  module  name.  A
       value intended for the test execution module should be named test.<value>.

       The  test  execution  module  contains  usage  of the module configuration and the default
       configuration file for the minion contains the information and format used to pass data to
       the modules. salt.modules.test, conf/minion.

   __init__ Function
       If  you  want your module to have different execution modes based on minion configuration,
       you can use the __init__(opts) function to perform initial  module  setup.  The  parameter
       opts is the complete minion configuration, as also available in the __opts__ dict.

          """
          Cheese module initialization example
          """

          def __init__(opts):
              """
              Allow foreign imports if configured to do so
              """
              if opts.get("cheese.allow_foreign", False):
                  _enable_foreign_products()

   Strings and Unicode
       An  execution   module  author  should  always  assume that strings fed to the module have
       already decoded from strings into Unicode. In Python 2, these will be  of  type  'Unicode'
       and  in Python 3 they will be of type str. Calling from a state to other Salt sub-systems,
       should pass Unicode (or bytes if passing binary data). In the  rare  event  that  a  state
       needs  to write directly to disk, Unicode should be encoded to a string immediately before
       writing to disk. An author may use __salt_system_encoding__ to  learn  what  the  encoding
       type of the system is.  For example, 'my_string'.encode(__salt_system_encoding__').

   Outputter Configuration
       Since  execution  module  functions  can  return  different  data, and the way the data is
       printed can greatly change the presentation, Salt allows for a specific  outputter  to  be
       set on a function-by-function basis.

       This  is  done be declaring an __outputter__ dictionary in the global scope of the module.
       The __outputter__ dictionary contains a mapping of function names to Salt outputters.

          __outputter__ = {"run": "txt"}

       This will ensure that the txt outputter is used to display output from the run function.

   Virtual Modules
       Virtual modules let you override the name of a module in order to use  the  same  name  to
       refer  to one of several similar modules. The specific module that is loaded for a virtual
       name is selected based on the current platform or environment.

       For example, packages are managed across platforms using the pkg module.  pkg is a virtual
       module  name  that is an alias for the specific package manager module that is loaded on a
       specific system (for example, yumpkg on RHEL/CentOS systems , and aptpkg on Ubuntu).

       Virtual module names are set using the __virtual__ function and the virtual name.

   __virtual__ Function
       The __virtual__ function returns either a string, True, False,  or  False  with  an  error
       string.  If a string is returned then the module is loaded using the name of the string as
       the virtual name. If True is returned the module is loaded using the current module  name.
       If False is returned the module is not loaded. False lets the module perform system checks
       and prevent loading if dependencies are not met.

       Since __virtual__ is called before the module is loaded, __salt__ will  be  unreliable  as
       not  all  modules  will  be available at this point in time. The __pillar__ and __grains__
       "dunder" dictionaries are available however.

       NOTE:
          Modules which return a string from __virtual__ that is already used by  a  module  that
          ships with Salt will _override_ the stock module.

   Returning Error Information from __virtual__
       Optionally,  Salt plugin modules, such as execution, state, returner, beacon, etc. modules
       may additionally return a string containing the reason that a module could not be  loaded.
       For  example,  an  execution  module  called  cheese and a corresponding state module also
       called cheese, both  depending  on  a  utility  called  enzymes  should  have  __virtual__
       functions that handle the case when the dependency is unavailable.

          """
          Cheese execution (or returner/beacon/etc.) module
          """
          try:
              import enzymes

              HAS_ENZYMES = True
          except ImportError:
              HAS_ENZYMES = False

          def __virtual__():

              if HAS_ENZYMES:

                  )

          def slice():
              pass

          """

              if "cheese.slice" in __salt__:
                  return "cheese"
              else:
                  return False, "The cheese state module cannot be loaded: enzymes unavailable."

   Examples
       The package manager modules are among the best examples of using the __virtual__ function.
       A table of all the virtual pkg modules can be found here.

   Overriding Virtual Module Providers
       Salt often uses OS grains (os, osrelease,  os_family,  etc.)  to  determine  which  module
       should  be loaded as the virtual module for pkg, service, etc. Sometimes this OS detection
       is incomplete, with new distros popping up, existing distros changing init  systems,  etc.
       The  virtual  modules likely to be affected by this are in the list below (click each item
       for more information):

       • pkg

       • service

       • user

       • shadow

       • group

       If Salt is using the wrong module for one of these, first of all, please report it on  the
       issue  tracker, so that this issue can be resolved for a future release. To make it easier
       to troubleshoot, please also provide the grains.items output, taking care  to  redact  any
       sensitive information.

       Then,  while waiting for the SaltStack development team to fix the issue, Salt can be made
       to use the correct module using the providers option in the minion config file:

          providers:
            service: systemd
            pkg: aptpkg

       The above example will force the minion to use  the  systemd  module  to  provide  service
       management, and the aptpkg module to provide package management.

   Logging Restrictions
       As  a rule, logging should not be done anywhere in a Salt module before it is loaded. This
       rule apples to all code that would run before the __virtual__() function, as well  as  the
       code within the __virtual__() function itself.

       If logging statements are made before the virtual function determines if the module should
       be loaded, then those logging statements will be called repeatedly. This clutters  up  log
       files unnecessarily.

       Exceptions  may be considered for logging statements made at the trace level.  However, it
       is better to provide the necessary information by another means.  One method is to  return
       error information in the __virtual__() function.

   __virtualname__
       __virtualname__  is  a variable that is used by the documentation build system to know the
       virtual name of a module without calling the __virtual__ function. Modules that  return  a
       string from the __virtual__ function must also set the __virtualname__ variable.

       To  avoid  setting  the virtual name string twice, you can implement __virtual__ to return
       the value set for __virtualname__ using a pattern similar to the following:

          # Define the module's virtual name
          __virtualname__ = "pkg"

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Confine this module to Mac OS with Homebrew.
              """

              if salt.utils.path.which("brew") and __grains__["os"] == "MacOS":
                  return __virtualname__
              return False

       The __virtual__() function can return a True or False boolean, a tuple, or a string. If it
       returns  a  True  value, this __virtualname__ module-level attribute can be set as seen in
       the above example. This is the string that the module should be referred to as.

       When __virtual__() returns a tuple, the first item should be  a  boolean  and  the  second
       should  be  a  string.  This  is typically done when the module should not load. The first
       value of the tuple is False and the second is the error message to  display  for  why  the
       module did not load.

       For example:

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Only load if git exists on the system
              """
              if salt.utils.path.which("git") is None:
                  return (False, "The git execution module cannot be loaded: git unavailable.")
              else:
                  return True

   Documentation
       Salt   execution   modules   are  documented.  The  sys.doc()  function  will  return  the
       documentation for all available modules:

          salt '*' sys.doc

       The sys.doc function simply prints out the docstrings found in the modules;  when  writing
       Salt  execution  modules,  please follow the formatting conventions for docstrings as they
       appear in the other modules.

   Adding Documentation to Salt Modules
       It is strongly suggested that all Salt modules have documentation added.

       To add documentation add a Python docstring to the function.

          def spam(eggs):
              """
              A function to make some spam with eggs!

              CLI Example::

                  salt '*' test.spam eggs
              """
              return eggs

       Now when the sys.doc call is executed the  docstring  will  be  cleanly  returned  to  the
       calling terminal.

       Documentation  added to execution modules in docstrings will automatically be added to the
       online web-based documentation.

   Add Execution Module Metadata
       When writing a Python docstring for an execution module, add information about the  module
       using the following field lists:

          :maintainer:    Thomas Hatch <thatch@saltstack.com, Seth House <shouse@saltstack.com>
          :maturity:      new
          :depends:       python-mysqldb
          :platform:      all

       The  maintainer  field  is  a  comma-delimited  list  of developers who help maintain this
       module.

       The maturity field indicates the level of quality and testing for this  module.   Standard
       labels will be determined.

       The depends field is a comma-delimited list of modules that this module depends on.

       The platform field is a comma-delimited list of platforms that this module is known to run
       on.

   Log Output
       You can call the logger from custom modules to write messages  to  the  minion  logs.  The
       following code snippet demonstrates writing log messages:

          import logging

          log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

          log.info("Here is Some Information")
          log.warning("You Should Not Do That")
          log.error("It Is Busted")

   Aliasing Functions
       Sometimes one wishes to use a function name that would shadow a python built-in.  A common
       example would be set(). To support this, append an underscore to the function  definition,
       def set_():, and use the __func_alias__ feature to provide an alias to the function.

       __func_alias__ is a dictionary where each key is the name of a function in the module, and
       each value is a string representing the alias for that function.  When calling an  aliased
       function  from a different execution module, state module, or from the cli, the alias name
       should be used.

          __func_alias__ = {
              "set_": "set",
              "list_": "list",
          }

   Private Functions
       In Salt, Python callable objects contained within an execution module are  made  available
       to  the  Salt  minion for use. The only exception to this rule is a callable object with a
       name starting with an underscore _.

   Objects Loaded Into the Salt Minion
          def foo(bar):
              return bar

   Objects NOT Loaded into the Salt Minion
          def _foobar(baz):  # Preceded with an _
              return baz

          cheese = {}  # Not a callable Python object

   Useful Decorators for Modules
   Depends Decorator
       When writing execution modules there are many times where some of the module will work  on
       all  hosts but some functions have an external dependency, such as a service that needs to
       be installed or a binary that needs to be present on the system.

       Instead of trying to wrap much of the code in large try/except blocks, a decorator can  be
       used.

       If  the dependencies passed to the decorator don't exist, then the salt minion will remove
       those functions from the module on that host.

       If a fallback_function is defined, it will replace the function instead of removing it

          import logging

          from salt.utils.decorators import depends

          log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

          try:
              import dependency_that_sometimes_exists
          except ImportError as e:
              log.trace("Failed to import dependency_that_sometimes_exists: {0}".format(e))

          @depends("dependency_that_sometimes_exists")
          def foo():
              """
              Function with a dependency on the "dependency_that_sometimes_exists" module,
              if the "dependency_that_sometimes_exists" is missing this function will not exist
              """
              return True

          def _fallback():
              """
              Fallback function for the depends decorator to replace a function with
              """
              return '"dependency_that_sometimes_exists" needs to be installed for this function to exist'

          @depends("dependency_that_sometimes_exists", fallback_function=_fallback)
          def foo():
              """
              Function with a dependency on the "dependency_that_sometimes_exists" module.
              If the "dependency_that_sometimes_exists" is missing this function will be
              replaced with "_fallback"
              """
              return True

       In addition to global dependencies the depends decorator also supports raw booleans.

          from salt.utils.decorators import depends

          HAS_DEP = False
          try:
              import dependency_that_sometimes_exists

              HAS_DEP = True
          except ImportError:
              pass

          @depends(HAS_DEP)
          def foo():
              return True

   Executors
       Executors are used by minion to execute module functions. Executors can be used to  modify
       the  functions behavior, do any pre-execution steps or execute in a specific way like sudo
       executor.

       Executors could be passed as a list and they will be used one-by-one in the order.  If  an
       executor  returns  None  the  next one will be called. If an executor returns non-None the
       execution sequence is terminated and the returned value is used as a result.  It's  a  way
       executor  could  control  modules  execution working as a filter. Note that executor could
       actually not execute the function but just do something else and return  None  like  splay
       executor  does.  In this case some other executor have to be used as a final executor that
       will actually execute the function. See examples below.

       Executors list could be passed by minion config file in the following way:

          module_executors:
            - splay
            - direct_call
          splaytime: 30

       The same could be done by command line:

          salt -t 40 --module-executors='[splay, direct_call]' --executor-opts='{splaytime: 30}' '*' test.version

       And the same command called via netapi will look like this:

          curl -sSk https://localhost:8000 \
              -H 'Accept: application/x-yaml' \
              -H 'X-Auth-Token: 697adbdc8fe971d09ae4c2a3add7248859c87079' \
              -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
              -d '[{
                  "client": "local",
                  "tgt": "*",
                  "fun": "test.version",
                  "module_executors": ["splay", "direct_call"],
                  "executor_opts": {"splaytime": 10}
                  }]'

          The full list of executors

   Writing Salt Executors
       A Salt executor is written in a similar manner to a Salt execution module.  Executor is  a
       python  module  placed  into the executors folder and containing the execute function with
       the following signature:

          def execute(opts, data, func, args, kwargs):
              ...

       Where the args are:

       opts:  Dictionary containing the minion configuration options

       data:  Dictionary containing the load data including executor_opts passed via cmdline/API.

       func, args, kwargs:
              Execution module function to be  executed  and  its  arguments.  For  instance  the
              simplest direct_call executor just runs it as func(*args, **kwargs).

       Returns:
              None  if  the  execution  sequence must be continued with the next executor.  Error
              string or execution result if the job is done and execution must be stopped.

       Specific options could be passed to the executor via minion config  or  via  executor_opts
       argument.  For  instance  to  access splaytime option set by minion config executor should
       access  opts.get('splaytime').  To  access  the  option  set   by   commandline   or   API
       data.get('executor_opts', {}).get('splaytime') should be used. So if an option is safe and
       must be accessible by user executor should check it in both places, but if  an  option  is
       unsafe it should be read from the only config ignoring the passed request data.

       There  is  also  a  function  named all_missing_func which the name of the func is passed,
       which can be used to verify if the command should still be run, even if it is  not  loaded
       in minion_mods.

CONFIGURATION MANAGEMENT

       Salt  contains a robust and flexible configuration management framework, which is built on
       the remote execution core. This framework executes on the  minions,  allowing  effortless,
       simultaneous  configuration  of tens of thousands of hosts, by rendering language specific
       state files. The  following  links  provide  resources  to  learn  more  about  state  and
       renderers.

       States Express  the  state  of  a  host  using  small,  easy  to  read, easy to understand
              configuration files. No programming required.

              Full list of states
                     Contains: list of install packages,  create  users,  transfer  files,  start
                     services, and so on.

              Pillar System
                     Contains: description of Salt's Pillar system.

              Highstate data structure
                     Contains: a dry vocabulary and technical representation of the configuration
                     format that states represent.

              Writing states
                     Contains: a guide on how to write Salt state modules, easily extending  Salt
                     to directly manage more software.

       NOTE:
          Salt execution modules are different from state modules and cannot be called as a state
          in an SLS file. In other words, this will not work:

              moe:
                user.rename:
                  - new_name: larry
                  - onlyif: id moe

          You must use the module states to call execution modules directly. Here's an example:

              rename_moe:
                module.run:
                  - name: user.rename
                  - m_name: moe
                  - new_name: larry
                  - onlyif: id moe

       Renderers
              Renderers use  state  configuration  files  written  in  a  variety  of  languages,
              templating  engines, or files. Salt's configuration management system is, under the
              hood, language agnostic.

              Full list of renderers
                     Contains: a list of renderers.  YAML is one choice,  but  many  systems  are
                     available,  from  alternative  templating  engines to the PyDSL language for
                     rendering sls formulas.

              Renderers
                     Contains: more information about renderers. Salt states are  only  concerned
                     with  the  ultimate highstate data structure, not how the data structure was
                     created.

   State System Reference
       Salt offers an interface to manage the configuration or "state" of the Salt minions.  This
       interface is a fully capable mechanism used to enforce the state of systems from a central
       manager.

   Mod Aggregate State Runtime Modifications
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The mod_aggregate system was added in the 2014.7.0 release of Salt and allows for  runtime
       modification  of  the  executing  state  data.  Simply put, it allows for the data used by
       Salt's state system to be changed on the fly at runtime,  kind  of  like  a  configuration
       management  JIT  compiler  or a runtime import system. All in all, it makes Salt much more
       dynamic.

   How it Works
       The best example is the pkg state. One of the major requests in Salt has long been  adding
       the  ability  to  install  all packages defined at the same time. The mod_aggregate system
       makes this a reality. While executing Salt's state system, when a pkg state is reached the
       mod_aggregate  function  in the state module is called. For pkg this function scans all of
       the other states that are slated to run, and picks up the references  to  name  and  pkgs,
       then  adds  them  to pkgs in the first state. The result is a single call to yum, apt-get,
       pacman, etc as part of the first package install.

   How to Use it
       NOTE:
          Since this option changes the basic behavior of the state runtime, after it is  enabled
          states  should  be  executed  using  test=True  to  ensure that the desired behavior is
          preserved.

   In config files
       The first way to enable aggregation is with a configuration option in either the master or
       minion  configuration files. Salt will invoke mod_aggregate the first time it encounters a
       state module that has aggregate support.

       If this option is set in the master config it will apply to all state runs on all minions,
       if set in the minion config it will only apply to said minion.

       Enable for all states:

          state_aggregate: True

       Enable for only specific state modules:

          state_aggregate:
            - pkg

   In states
       The  second  way  to enable aggregation is with the state-level aggregate keyword. In this
       configuration, Salt will invoke the mod_aggregate function the first  time  it  encounters
       this keyword. Any additional occurrences of the keyword will be ignored as the aggregation
       has already taken place.

       The following example will trigger mod_aggregate when the lamp_stack  state  is  processed
       resulting in a single call to the underlying package manager.

          lamp_stack:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - php
                - mysql-client
              - aggregate: True

          memcached:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: memcached

   Adding mod_aggregate to a State Module
       Adding  a  mod_aggregate  routine  to  an  existing  state  module only requires adding an
       additional function to the state module called mod_aggregate.

       The mod_aggregate function just needs to accept three parameters and return the  low  data
       to  use.  Since  mod_aggregate  is  working  on  the  state  runtime level it does need to
       manipulate low data.

       The three parameters are low, chunks, and running. The low option is the low data for  the
       state execution which is about to be called. The chunks is the list of all of the low data
       dictionaries which are being executed by the runtime and the  running  dictionary  is  the
       return data from all of the state executions which have already be executed.

       This example, simplified from the pkg state, shows how to create mod_aggregate functions:

          def mod_aggregate(low, chunks, running):
              """
              The mod_aggregate function which looks up all packages in the available
              low chunks and merges them into a single pkgs ref in the present low data
              """
              pkgs = []
              # What functions should we aggregate?
              agg_enabled = [
                  "installed",
                  "latest",
                  "removed",
                  "purged",
              ]
              # The `low` data is just a dict with the state, function (fun) and
              # arguments passed in from the sls
              if low.get("fun") not in agg_enabled:
                  return low
              # Now look into what other things are set to execute
              for chunk in chunks:
                  # The state runtime uses "tags" to track completed jobs, it may
                  # look familiar with the _|-
                  tag = __utils__["state.gen_tag"](chunk)
                  if tag in running:
                      # Already ran the pkg state, skip aggregation
                      continue
                  if chunk.get("state") == "pkg":
                      if "__agg__" in chunk:
                          continue
                      # Check for the same function
                      if chunk.get("fun") != low.get("fun"):
                          continue
                      # Pull out the pkg names!
                      if "pkgs" in chunk:
                          pkgs.extend(chunk["pkgs"])
                          chunk["__agg__"] = True
                      elif "name" in chunk:
                          pkgs.append(chunk["name"])
                          chunk["__agg__"] = True
              if pkgs:
                  if "pkgs" in low:
                      low["pkgs"].extend(pkgs)
                  else:
                      low["pkgs"] = pkgs
              # The low has been modified and needs to be returned to the state
              # runtime for execution
              return low

   Altering States
       NOTE:
          This documentation has been moved here.

   File State Backups
       In  0.10.2  a  new  feature  was  added  for  backing  up  files  that are replaced by the
       file.managed and file.recurse states. The new feature is called the backup  mode.  Setting
       the backup mode is easy, but it can be set in a number of places.

       The backup_mode can be set in the minion config file:

          backup_mode: minion

       Or it can be set for each file:

          /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://ssh/sshd_config
              - backup: minion

   Backed-up Files
       The  files will be saved in the minion cachedir under the directory named file_backup. The
       files will be in the location relative to where they were under the root filesystem and be
       appended with a timestamp. This should make them easy to browse.

   Interacting with Backups
       Starting  with  version  0.17.0,  it  will  be  possible  to  list,  restore,  and  delete
       previously-created backups.

   Listing
       The backups for a given file can be listed using file.list_backups:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.list_backups /tmp/foo.txt
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------
              0:
                  ----------
                  Backup Time:
                      Sat Jul 27 2013 17:48:41.738027
                  Location:
                      /var/cache/salt/minion/file_backup/tmp/foo.txt_Sat_Jul_27_17:48:41_738027_2013
                  Size:
                      13
              1:
                  ----------
                  Backup Time:
                      Sat Jul 27 2013 17:48:28.369804
                  Location:
                      /var/cache/salt/minion/file_backup/tmp/foo.txt_Sat_Jul_27_17:48:28_369804_2013
                  Size:
                      35

   Restoring
       Restoring is easy using file.restore_backup, just pass the path and the numeric  id  found
       with file.list_backups:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.restore_backup /tmp/foo.txt 1
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------
              comment:
                  Successfully restored /var/cache/salt/minion/file_backup/tmp/foo.txt_Sat_Jul_27_17:48:28_369804_2013 to /tmp/foo.txt
              result:
                  True

       The  existing file will be backed up, just in case, as can be seen if file.list_backups is
       run again:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.list_backups /tmp/foo.txt
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------
              0:
                  ----------

                  Size:
                      35

       NOTE:
          Since no state is being run, restoring a file will not  trigger  any  watches  for  the
          file.  So,  if  you  are restoring a config file for a service, it will likely still be
          necessary to run a service.restart.

   Deleting
       Deleting backups can be done using file.delete_backup:

          # salt foo.bar.com file.delete_backup /tmp/foo.txt 0
          foo.bar.com:
              ----------
              comment:

              result:

   Understanding State Compiler Ordering
       NOTE:
          This tutorial is an intermediate level tutorial. Some basic understanding of the  state
          system and writing Salt Formulas is assumed.

       Salt's  state  system  is  built  to  deliver all of the power of configuration management
       systems without sacrificing simplicity. This tutorial is made to help users understand  in
       detail just how the order is defined for state executions in Salt.

       This tutorial is written to represent the behavior of Salt as of version 0.17.0.

   Compiler Basics
       To understand ordering in depth some very basic knowledge about the state compiler is very
       helpful. No need to worry though, this is very high level!

   High Data and Low Data
       When defining Salt Formulas in YAML the data that is being represented is referred  to  by
       the  compiler  as  High  Data. When the data is initially loaded into the compiler it is a
       single large python dictionary, this dictionary can be viewed raw by running:

          salt '*' state.show_highstate

       This "High Data" structure is then compiled down to "Low Data". The Low Data  is  what  is
       matched  up to create individual executions in Salt's configuration management system. The
       low data is an ordered list of single state  calls  to  execute.  Once  the  low  data  is
       compiled the evaluation order can be seen.

       The low data can be viewed by running:

          salt '*' state.show_lowstate

       NOTE:
          The  state execution module contains MANY functions for evaluating the state system and
          is well worth a read! These routines can be very useful when  debugging  states  or  to
          help deepen one's understanding of Salt's state system.

       As an example, a state written thusly:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd
            service.running:
              - name: httpd
              - watch:
                - file: apache_conf
                - pkg: apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://apache/httpd.conf

       Will have High Data which looks like this represented in json:

          {
              "apache": {
                  "pkg": [
                      {
                          "name": "httpd"
                      },
                      "installed",
                      {
                          "order": 10000
                      }
                  ],
                  "service": [
                      {
                          "name": "httpd"
                      },
                      {
                          "watch": [
                              {
                                  "file": "apache_conf"
                              },
                              {
                                  "pkg": "apache"
                              }
                          ]
                      },
                      "running",
                      {
                          "order": 10001
                      }
                  ],
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "__env__": "base"
              },
              "apache_conf": {
                  "file": [
                      {
                          "name": "/etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf"
                      },
                      {
                          "source": "salt://apache/httpd.conf"
                      },
                      "managed",
                      {
                          "order": 10002
                      }
                  ],
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "__env__": "base"
              }
          }

       The subsequent Low Data will look like this:

          [
              {
                  "name": "httpd",
                  "state": "pkg",
                  "__id__": "apache",
                  "fun": "installed",
                  "__env__": "base",
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "order": 10000
              },
              {
                  "name": "httpd",
                  "watch": [
                      {
                          "file": "apache_conf"
                      },
                      {
                          "pkg": "apache"
                      }
                  ],
                  "state": "service",
                  "__id__": "apache",
                  "fun": "running",
                  "__env__": "base",
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "order": 10001
              },
              {
                  "name": "/etc/httpd/conf.d/httpd.conf",
                  "source": "salt://apache/httpd.conf",
                  "state": "file",
                  "__id__": "apache_conf",
                  "fun": "managed",
                  "__env__": "base",
                  "__sls__": "blah",
                  "order": 10002
              }
          ]

       This tutorial discusses the Low Data evaluation and the state runtime.

   Ordering Layers
       Salt defines 2 order interfaces which are evaluated in the state runtime and defines these
       orders in a number of passes.

   Definition Order
       NOTE:
          The Definition Order system can be disabled by turning the option  state_auto_order  to
          False in the master configuration file.

       The  top  level  of ordering is the Definition Order. The Definition Order is the order in
       which states are defined in salt formulas. This is very straightforward  on  basic  states
       which do not contain include statements or a top file, as the states are just ordered from
       the top of the file, but the include system starts to bring in some simple rules  for  how
       the Definition Order is defined.

       Looking  back  at  the  "Low  Data"  and  "High  Data" shown above, the order key has been
       transparently added to the data to enable the Definition Order.

   The Include Statement
       Basically, if there is an include statement in a formula,  then  the  formulas  which  are
       included will be run BEFORE the contents of the formula which is including them. Also, the
       include statement is a list, so they will be  loaded  in  the  order  in  which  they  are
       included.

       In the following case:

       foo.sls

          include:
            - bar
            - baz

       bar.sls

          include:
            - quo

       baz.sls

          include:
            - qux

       In  the  above case if state.apply foo were called then the formulas will be loaded in the
       following order:

       1. quo

       2. bar

       3. qux

       4. baz

       5. foo

   The order Flag
       The Definition Order happens transparently in the background,  but  the  ordering  can  be
       explicitly overridden using the order flag in states:

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd
              - order: 1

       This  order  flag will over ride the definition order, this makes it very simple to create
       states that are always executed first, last or in specific  stages,  a  great  example  is
       defining  a number of package repositories that need to be set up before anything else, or
       final checks that need to be run at the end of a state run by using order: last or  order:
       -1.

       When  the  order  flag  is explicitly set the Definition Order system will omit setting an
       order for that state and directly use the order flag defined.

   Lexicographical Fall-back
       Salt states were written to ALWAYS execute in the same order. Before the  introduction  of
       Definition  Order  in version 0.17.0 everything was ordered lexicographically according to
       the name of the state, then function then id.

       This is the way Salt has  always  ensured  that  states  always  run  in  the  same  order
       regardless  of  where they are deployed, the addition of the Definition Order method mealy
       makes this finite ordering easier to follow.

       The lexicographical ordering is still applied but it only has any effect  when  two  order
       statements  collide. This means that if multiple states are assigned the same order number
       that they will fall back to lexicographical ordering to ensure that every execution  still
       happens in a finite order.

       NOTE:
          If  running  with state_auto_order: False the order key is not set automatically, since
          the Lexicographical order can be derived from other keys.

   Requisite Ordering
       Salt states are fully declarative, in that they are written to declare the state in  which
       a system should be. This means that components can require that other components have been
       set up successfully. Unlike the other ordering systems, the Requisite system  in  Salt  is
       evaluated at runtime.

       The requisite system is also built to ensure that the ordering of execution never changes,
       but is always the same for a given set of states. This is accomplished by using a  runtime
       that  processes  states  in  a completely predictable order instead of using an event loop
       based system like other declarative configuration management systems.

   Runtime Requisite Evaluation
       The requisite system is evaluated as the components are  found,  and  the  requisites  are
       always  evaluated  in  the same order. This explanation will be followed by an example, as
       the raw explanation may be a little dizzying at first as it creates  a  linear  dependency
       evaluation sequence.

       The  "Low  Data"  is  an  ordered  list  or dictionaries, the state runtime evaluates each
       dictionary in the order in which they are arranged in the list. When evaluating  a  single
       dictionary  it  is checked for requisites, requisites are evaluated in order, require then
       watch then prereq.

       NOTE:
          If using requisite in statements like require_in and watch_in these  will  be  compiled
          down to require and watch statements before runtime evaluation.

       Each  requisite  contains an ordered list of requisites, these requisites are looked up in
       the list of dictionaries and then executed. Once all requisites have  been  evaluated  and
       executed  then  the  requiring  state can safely be run (or not run if requisites have not
       been met).

       This means that the requisites are always evaluated in the same order, again ensuring  one
       of  the  core  design principals of Salt's State system to ensure that execution is always
       finite is intact.

   Simple Runtime Evaluation Example
       Given the above "Low Data" the states will be evaluated in the following order:

       1. The pkg.installed is executed  ensuring  that  the  apache  package  is  installed,  it
          contains no requisites and is therefore the first defined state to execute.

       2. The  service.running  state  is evaluated but NOT executed, a watch requisite is found,
          therefore they are read in order, the runtime first checks for the file, sees  that  it
          has not been executed and calls for the file state to be evaluated.

       3. The file state is evaluated AND executed, since it, like the pkg state does not contain
          any requisites.

       4. The evaluation of the service state continues, it next checks  the  pkg  requisite  and
          sees that it is met, with all requisites met the service state is now executed.

   Best Practice
       The  best  practice  in  Salt is to choose a method and stick with it, official states are
       written using requisites for all associations since  requisites  create  clean,  traceable
       dependency trails and make for the most portable formulas. To accomplish something similar
       to how classical imperative systems  function  all  requisites  can  be  omitted  and  the
       failhard  option  then  set  to True in the master configuration, this will stop all state
       runs at the first instance of a failure.

       In the end, using requisites creates  very  tight  and  fine  grained  states,  not  using
       requisites  makes  full  sequence  runs and while slightly easier to write, and gives much
       less control over the executions.

   Extending External SLS Data
       Sometimes a state defined in one SLS file will need to be modified  from  a  separate  SLS
       file. A good example of this is when an argument needs to be overwritten or when a service
       needs to watch an additional state.

   The Extend Declaration
       The standard way to extend is via the extend declaration. The extend declaration is a  top
       level  declaration  like  include and encapsulates ID declaration data included from other
       SLS files. A standard extend looks like this:

          include:
            - http
            - ssh

          extend:
            apache:
              file:
                - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - source: salt://http/httpd2.conf
            ssh-server:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - file: /etc/ssh/banner

          /etc/ssh/banner:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://ssh/banner

       A few critical things happened here, first off the SLS files that are going to be extended
       are included, then the extend dec is defined. Under the extend dec 2 IDs are extended, the
       apache ID's file state is overwritten with a new name and source. Then the ssh  server  is
       extended to watch the banner file in addition to anything it is already watching.

   Extend is a Top Level Declaration
       This  means  that  extend can only be called once in an sls, if it is used twice then only
       one of the extend blocks will be read. So this is WRONG:

          include:
            - http
            - ssh

          extend:
            apache:
              file:
                - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
                - source: salt://http/httpd2.conf
          # Second extend will overwrite the first!! Only make one
          extend:
            ssh-server:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - file: /etc/ssh/banner

   The Requisite in Statement
       Since one of the most common things to do when extending another SLS is to add states  for
       a  service  to  watch,  or anything for a watcher to watch, the requisite in statement was
       added to 0.9.8 to make extending the watch and require lists easier. The ssh-server extend
       statement above could be more cleanly defined like so:

          include:
            - ssh

          /etc/ssh/banner:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://ssh/banner
              - watch_in:
                - service: ssh-server

   Rules to Extend By
       There are a few rules to remember when extending states:

       1. Always include the SLS being extended with an include declaration

       2. Requisites (watch and require) are appended to, everything else is overwritten

       3. extend  is a top level declaration, like an ID declaration, cannot be declared twice in
          a single SLS

       4. Many IDs can be extended under the extend declaration

   Failhard Global Option
       Normally, when a state fails Salt continues to execute the remainder of the defined states
       and will only refuse to execute states that require the failed state.

       But  the situation may exist, where you would want all state execution to stop if a single
       state execution fails. The capability to do this is called failing hard.

   State Level Failhard
       A single state can have a failhard set, this means that if  this  individual  state  fails
       that  all state execution will immediately stop. This is a great thing to do if there is a
       state that sets up a critical config file and setting a require for each state that  reads
       the  config  would  be  cumbersome.   A good example of this would be setting up a package
       manager early on:

          /etc/yum.repos.d/company.repo:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://company/yumrepo.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - order: 1
              - failhard: True

       In this situation, the yum repo is going to be configured before other states, and  if  it
       fails  to lay down the config file, than no other states will be executed.  It is possible
       to override a Global Failhard (see below) by explicitly setting it to False in the state.

   Global Failhard
       It may be desired to have failhard be applied to every state that is executed, if this  is
       the  case,  then failhard can be set in the master configuration file. Setting failhard in
       the master configuration file will result in failing hard when any minion gathering states
       from the master have a state fail.

       This  is  NOT  the  default  behavior,  normally Salt will only fail states that require a
       failed state.

       Using the global failhard is generally not recommended, since it can result in states  not
       being  executed  or  even  checked.  It can also be confusing to see states failhard if an
       admin is not actively aware that the failhard has been set.

       To use the global failhard set failhard to True in the master configuration file.

   Highstate data structure definitions
   The Salt State Tree
       A state tree is a collection of SLS files and directories that live  under  the  directory
       specified in file_roots.

       NOTE:
          Directory  names  or  filenames  in  the  state  tree cannot contain a period, with the
          exception of the period in the .sls file suffix.

   Top file
       The main state file that instructs minions what environment  and  modules  to  use  during
       state execution.

       Configurable via state_top.

       SEE ALSO:
          A detailed description of the top file

   Include declaration
       Defines a list of Module reference strings to include in this SLS.

       Occurs only in the top level of the SLS data structure.

       Example:

          include:
            - edit.vim
            - http.server

   Module reference
       The name of a SLS module defined by a separate SLS file and residing on the Salt Master. A
       module named edit.vim is a reference to the SLS file salt://edit/vim.sls.

   ID declaration
       Defines an individual highstate component. Always  references  a  value  of  a  dictionary
       containing keys referencing State declaration and Requisite declaration. Can be overridden
       by a Name declaration or a Names declaration.

       Occurs on the top level or under the Extend declaration.

       Must be unique across entire state tree. If the same ID declaration is  used  twice,  only
       the first one matched will be used. All subsequent ID declarations with the same name will
       be ignored.

       NOTE:
          Naming gotchas

          In Salt versions earlier than 0.9.7, ID declarations containing dots  would  result  in
          unpredictable output.

   Extend declaration
       Extends a Name declaration from an included SLS module. The keys of the extend declaration
       always refer to an existing ID  declaration  which  have  been  defined  in  included  SLS
       modules.

       Occurs only in the top level and defines a dictionary.

       States cannot be extended more than once in a single state run.

       Extend  declarations  are  useful for adding-to or overriding parts of a State declaration
       that is defined in another SLS  file.  In  the  following  contrived  example,  the  shown
       mywebsite.sls file is include -ing and extend -ing the apache.sls module in order to add a
       watch declaration that  will  restart  Apache  whenever  the  Apache  configuration  file,
       mywebsite changes.

          include:
            - apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - file: mywebsite

          mywebsite:
            file.managed:
              - name: /var/www/mysite

       SEE ALSO:
          watch_in and require_in

          Sometimes  it  is  more  convenient to use the watch_in or require_in syntax instead of
          extending another SLS file.

          State Requisites

   State declaration
       A list which contains one string defining the  Function  declaration  and  any  number  of
       Function arg declaration dictionaries.

       Can,  optionally,  contain  a  number  of  additional  components  like  the name override
       components — name and names. Can also contain requisite declarations.

       Occurs under an ID declaration.

   Requisite declaration
       A list containing requisite references.

       Used to build the action dependency tree. While Salt states  are  made  to  execute  in  a
       deterministic order, this order is managed by requiring and watching other Salt states.

       Occurs as a list component under a State declaration or as a key under an ID declaration.

   Requisite reference
       A  single  key dictionary. The key is the name of the referenced State declaration and the
       value is the ID of the referenced ID declaration.

       Occurs as a single index in a Requisite declaration list.

   Function declaration
       The name of the function to call within the state. A state declaration can contain only  a
       single function declaration.

       For example, the following state declaration calls the installed function in the pkg state
       module:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []

       The function can be declared inline with  the  state  as  a  shortcut.   The  actual  data
       structure is compiled to this form:

          httpd:
            pkg:
              - installed

       Where the function is a string in the body of the state declaration.  Technically when the
       function is declared in dot notation the compiler converts it to be a string in the  state
       declaration  list.  Note  that  the  use  of  the  first  example  more than once in an ID
       declaration is invalid yaml.

       INVALID:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed
            service.running

       When passing a function without arguments and another state declaration within a single ID
       declaration,  then  the long or "standard" format needs to be used since otherwise it does
       not represent a valid data structure.

       VALID:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running: []

       Occurs as the only index in the State declaration list.

   Function arg declaration
       A single key dictionary referencing a Python type which is  to  be  passed  to  the  named
       Function  declaration  as  a  parameter.  The  type  must be the data type expected by the
       function.

       Occurs under a Function declaration.

       For example in the following state  declaration  user,  group,  and  mode  are  passed  as
       arguments to the managed function in the file state module:

          /etc/http/conf/http.conf:
            file.managed:
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644

   Name declaration
       Overrides  the  name  argument  of  a  State  declaration. If name is not specified the ID
       declaration satisfies the name argument.

       The name is always a single key dictionary referencing a string.

       Overriding name is useful for a variety of scenarios.

       For example, avoiding clashing ID  declarations.  The  following  two  state  declarations
       cannot both have /etc/motd as the ID declaration:

          motd_perms:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/motd
              - mode: 644

          motd_quote:
            file.append:
              - name: /etc/motd
              - text: "Of all smells, bread; of all tastes, salt."

       Another  common  reason  to override name is if the ID declaration is long and needs to be
       referenced in multiple places. In the example below it is much easier to specify mywebsite
       than to specify /etc/apache2/sites-available/mywebsite.com multiple times:

          mywebsite:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/apache2/sites-available/mywebsite.com
              - source: salt://mywebsite.com

          a2ensite mywebsite.com:
            cmd.wait:
              - unless: test -L /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mywebsite.com
              - watch:
                - file: mywebsite

          apache2:
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - file: mywebsite

   Names declaration
       Expands the contents of the containing State declaration into multiple state declarations,
       each with its own name.

       For example, given the following state declaration:

          python-pkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - names:
                - python-django
                - python-crypto
                - python-yaml

       Once converted into the lowstate data  structure  the  above  state  declaration  will  be
       expanded into the following three state declarations:

          python-django:
            pkg.installed

          python-crypto:
            pkg.installed

          python-yaml:
            pkg.installed

       Other  values can be overridden during the expansion by providing an additional dictionary
       level.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

                - <Requisite Reference>

   Include and Exclude
       Salt SLS files can include other SLS files and exclude SLS files that have been  otherwise
       included. This allows for an SLS file to easily extend or manipulate other SLS files.

   Include
       When  other  SLS  files  are included, everything defined in the included SLS file will be
       added to the state run. When including define a list of SLS formulas to include:

          include:
            - http
            - libvirt

       The include statement will include  SLS  formulas  from  the  same  environment  that  the
       including  SLS  formula  is  in.  But  the  environment  can  be explicitly defined in the
       configuration to override the running environment, therefore if an SLS formula needs to be
       included from an external environment named "dev" the following syntax is used:

          include:
            - dev: http

       NOTE: include does not simply inject the states where you place it in the SLS file. If you
       need to guarantee order of execution, consider using requisites.

          Do not use dots in SLS file names or their directories

                 The initial implementation  of  top.sls  and  include-declaration  followed  the
                 python import model where a slash is represented as a period.  This means that a
                 SLS file with a period in the name ( besides  the  suffix  period)  can  not  be
                 referenced.    For  example,  webserver_1.0.sls  is  not  referenceable  because
                 webserver_1.0 would refer to the directory/file webserver_1/0.sls

                 The same applies for any subdirectories, this is especially  'tricky'  when  git
                 repos  are  created.   Another command that typically can't render its output is
                 `state.show_sls` of a file in a path that contains a dot.

   Relative Include
       In Salt 0.16.0, the capability to include SLS formulas which are relative to  the  running
       SLS formula was added.  Simply precede the formula name with a .:

          include:
            - .virt
            - .virt.hyper

       In  Salt  2015.8, the ability to include SLS formulas which are relative to the parents of
       the running SLS formula was added.  In order to achieve this,  precede  the  formula  name
       with  more  than  one  .  (dot). Much like Python's relative import abilities, two or more
       leading dots represent a relative include of the parent or parents of the current package,
       with each .  representing one level after the first.

       The  following  SLS  configuration,  if placed within example.dev.virtual, would result in
       example.http and base being included respectively:

          include:
            - ..http
            - ...base

   Exclude
       The exclude statement, added in Salt 0.10.3, allows an SLS to  hard  exclude  another  SLS
       file or a specific id. The component is excluded after the high data has been compiled, so
       nothing should be able to override an exclude.

       Since the exclude can remove an id or an sls the type of component to exclude needs to  be
       defined.  An  exclude  statement that verifies that the running highstate does not contain
       the http sls and the /etc/vimrc id would look like this:

          exclude:
            - sls: http
            - id: /etc/vimrc

       NOTE:
          The current state processing flow checks for duplicate IDs before processing  excludes.
          An  error  occurs if duplicate IDs are present even if one of the IDs is targeted by an
          exclude.

   State System Layers
       The Salt state system is comprised of multiple layers. While using Salt does  not  require
       an  understanding  of  the  state  layers, a deeper understanding of how Salt compiles and
       manages states can be very beneficial.

   Function Call
       The lowest layer of functionality in the state system is the direct state  function  call.
       State  executions  are  executions of single state functions at the core. These individual
       functions are defined in state modules and can be called  directly  via  the  state.single
       command.

          salt '*' state.single pkg.installed name='vim'

   Low Chunk
       The low chunk is the bottom of the Salt state compiler. This is a data representation of a
       single function call. The low chunk is sent to the state caller  and  used  to  execute  a
       single state function.

       A single low chunk can be executed manually via the state.low command.

          salt '*' state.low '{name: vim, state: pkg, fun: installed}'

       The  passed  data  reflects  what the state execution system gets after compiling the data
       down from sls formulas.

   Low State
       The Low State layer is the list of low chunks "evaluated" in order. To see  what  the  low
       state looks like for a highstate, run:

          salt '*' state.show_lowstate

       This  will  display  the raw lowstate in the order which each low chunk will be evaluated.
       The order of evaluation is not necessarily the order of execution,  since  requisites  are
       evaluated  at  runtime.  Requisite execution and evaluation is finite; this means that the
       order of execution can be ascertained with 100% certainty based on the order  of  the  low
       state.

   High Data
       High data is the data structure represented in YAML via SLS files. The High data structure
       is created by merging the data components rendered  inside  sls  files  (or  other  render
       systems).  The  High  data  can  be easily viewed by executing the state.show_highstate or
       state.show_sls functions. Since this data is a somewhat complex data structure, it may  be
       easier to read using the json, yaml, or pprint outputters:

          salt '*' state.show_highstate --out yaml
          salt '*' state.show_sls edit.vim --out pprint

   SLS
       Above  "High  Data", the logical layers are no longer technically required to be executed,
       or to be executed in a hierarchy. This means that  how  the  High  data  is  generated  is
       optional  and very flexible. The SLS layer allows for many mechanisms to be used to render
       sls data from files or to use the fileserver backend to generate sls and  file  data  from
       external systems.

       The SLS layer can be called directly to execute individual sls formulas.

       NOTE:
          SLS  Formulas  have  historically been called "SLS files". This is because a single SLS
          was only constituted in a single file. Now the term "SLS Formula" better expresses  how
          a compartmentalized SLS can be expressed in a much more dynamic way by combining pillar
          and other sources, and the SLS can be dynamically generated.

       To call a single SLS formula named edit.vim, execute state.apply and pass edit.vim  as  an
       argument:

          salt '*' state.apply edit.vim

   HighState
       Calling  SLS directly logically assigns what states should be executed from the context of
       the calling minion. The Highstate layer is used to allow for full contextual assignment of
       what  is  executed where to be tied to groups of, or individual, minions entirely from the
       master. This means that the environment of a minion, and  all  associated  execution  data
       pertinent  to  said  minion, can be assigned from the master without needing to execute or
       configure anything on the target minion. This also means that the minion can independently
       retrieve information about its complete configuration from the master.

       To execute the highstate use state.apply:

          salt '*' state.apply

   Orchestrate
       The  orchestrate  layer  expresses  the highest functional layer of Salt's automated logic
       systems. The Overstate allows for stateful and functional orchestration of  routines  from
       the  master. The orchestrate defines in data execution stages which minions should execute
       states, or functions, and in what order using requisite logic.

   The Orchestrate Runner

   Ordering States
       The way in which configuration management systems are executed is a hotly debated topic in
       the configuration management world. Two major philosophies exist on the subject, to either
       execute in an imperative fashion where things are executed in the order in which they  are
       defined, or in a declarative fashion where dependencies need to be mapped between objects.

       Imperative  ordering  is  finite and generally considered easier to write, but declarative
       ordering is much more powerful and flexible but generally  considered  more  difficult  to
       create.

       Salt  has  been  created  to get the best of both worlds. States are evaluated in a finite
       order, which guarantees that states are always executed in the same order, and the  states
       runtime is declarative, making Salt fully aware of dependencies via the requisite system.

   State Auto Ordering
       Salt  always  executes states in a finite manner, meaning that they will always execute in
       the same order regardless of the system that is  executing  them.  This  evaluation  order
       makes  it  easy  to know what order the states will be executed in, but it is important to
       note that the requisite system will override the ordering defined in the  files,  and  the
       order option, described below, will also override the order in which states are executed.

       This  ordering system can be disabled in preference of lexicographic (classic) ordering by
       setting the state_auto_order option to False in the master configuration file.  Otherwise,
       state_auto_order defaults to True.

       How compiler ordering is managed is described further in compiler-ordering.

   Requisite Statements
       NOTE:
          The  behavior  of  requisites  changed  in  version  0.9.7 of Salt.  This documentation
          applies to requisites in version 0.9.7 and later.

       Often when setting up states any single action will require or depend on  another  action.
       Salt  allows for the building of relationships between states with requisite statements. A
       requisite statement ensures that the named state is evaluated before the  state  requiring
       it. There are three types of requisite statements in Salt, require, watch, and prereq.

       These requisite statements are applied to a specific state declaration:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/httpd.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd

       In   this   example,   the   require   requisite   is   used  to  declare  that  the  file
       /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf should only be set up if the pkg state executes successfully.

       The requisite system works by finding the states that  are  required  and  executing  them
       before  the  state that requires them. Then the required states can be evaluated to see if
       they have executed correctly.

       Require statements can refer to any state defined in Salt. The  basic  examples  are  pkg,
       service, and file, but any used state can be referenced.

       In  addition  to  state declarations such as pkg, file, etc., sls type requisites are also
       recognized, and essentially allow 'chaining' of  states.  This  provides  a  mechanism  to
       ensure the proper sequence for complex state formulas, especially when the discrete states
       are split or groups into separate sls files:

          include:
            - network

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd
                - sls: network

       In this example, the httpd service running state will not  be  applied  (i.e.,  the  httpd
       service  will  not  be started) unless both the httpd package is installed AND the network
       state is satisfied.

       NOTE:
          Requisite matching

          Requisites match on both the ID Declaration and  the  name  parameter.   Therefore,  if
          using  the  pkgs or sources argument to install a list of packages in a pkg state, it's
          important to note that it is impossible to match an individual  package  in  the  list,
          since all packages are installed as a single state.

   Multiple Requisites
       The  requisite  statement  is  passed  as  a  list, allowing for the easy addition of more
       requisites. Both requisite types can also be separately declared:

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd
                - user: httpd
                - group: httpd
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/httpd.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd
            user.present: []
            group.present: []

       In this example, the httpd service is only going to  be  started  if  the  package,  user,
       group, and file are executed successfully.

   Requisite Documentation
       For detailed information on each of the individual requisites, please look here.

   The Order Option
       Before using the order option, remember that the majority of state ordering should be done
       with a requisite-declaration, and that a requisite  declaration  will  override  an  order
       option, so a state with order option should not require or required by other states.

       The  order option is used by adding an order number to a state declaration with the option
       order:

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - order: 1

       By adding the order option to 1 this ensures that the vim package  will  be  installed  in
       tandem with any other state declaration set to the order 1.

       Any  state  declared  without an order option will be executed after all states with order
       options are executed.

       But  this  construct  can  only  handle  ordering  states  from  the  beginning.   Certain
       circumstances will present a situation where it is desirable to send a state to the end of
       the line. To do this, set the order to last:

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - order: last

   Running States in Parallel
       Introduced in Salt version 2017.7.0 it is now possible to run select states  in  parallel.
       This  is  accomplished  very  easily  by  adding  the  parallel: True option to your state
       declaration:

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - parallel: True

       Now nginx will be started in a separate  process  from  the  normal  state  run  and  will
       therefore not block additional states.

   Parallel States and Requisites
       Parallel  States  still honor requisites. If a given state requires another state that has
       been run in parallel then the state runtime will wait for the required state to finish.

       Given this example:

          sleep 10:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - parallel: True
              - require:
                - cmd: sleep 10

          sleep 5:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

       The sleep 10 will be started first, then the state system will  block  on  starting  nginx
       until  the  sleep 10 completes. Once nginx has been ensured to be running then the sleep 5
       will start.

       This means that the order of evaluation of Salt States and requisites are  still  honored,
       and given that in the above case, parallel: True does not actually speed things up.

       To  run  the  above  state  much faster make sure that the sleep 5 is evaluated before the
       nginx state

          sleep 10:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

          sleep 5:
            cmd.run:
              - parallel: True

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - parallel: True
              - require:
                - cmd: sleep 10

       Now both of the sleep calls will be started in parallel and nginx will still wait for  the
       state it requires, but while it waits the sleep 5 state will also complete.

   Things to be Careful of
       Parallel  States  do not prevent you from creating parallel conflicts on your system. This
       means that if you start multiple package installs using Salt then the package manager will
       block  or  fail.  If  you attempt to manage the same file with multiple states in parallel
       then the result can produce an unexpected file.

       Make sure that the states you choose to run in parallel do not conflict, or else, like  in
       any parallel programming environment, the outcome may not be what you expect. Doing things
       like just making all states run in parallel will almost  certainly  result  in  unexpected
       behavior.

       With  that  said,  running states in parallel should be safe the vast majority of the time
       and the most likely culprit for unexpected behavior is running multiple  package  installs
       in parallel.

   State Providers
       New in version 0.9.8.

       Salt predetermines what modules should be mapped to what uses based on the properties of a
       system. These determinations are generally made  for  modules  that  provide  things  like
       package and service management.

       Sometimes  in  states,  it  may  be  necessary to use an alternative module to provide the
       needed functionality. For instance, an very old Arch  Linux  system  may  not  be  running
       systemd,  so  instead  of  using the systemd service module, you can revert to the default
       service module:

          httpd:
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - provider: service

       In this instance, the basic service module (which manages  sysvinit-based  services)  will
       replace the systemd module which is used by default on Arch Linux.

       This  change  only affects this one state though. If it is necessary to make this override
       for most or every service, it is better to just override the provider in the minion config
       file, as described here.

       Also,  keep  in  mind  that  this  only works for states with an identically-named virtual
       module (pkg, service, etc.).

   Arbitrary Module Redirects
       The provider statement can also be used for more powerful means, instead of overwriting or
       extending the module used for the named service an arbitrary module can be used to provide
       certain functionality.

          emacs:
            pkg.installed:
              - provider:
                - cmd: customcmd

       In this example, the state is being instructed to use a custom module to invoke commands.

       Arbitrary module redirects can be used to dramatically change  the  behavior  of  a  given
       state.

   Requisites and Other Global State Arguments
   Requisites
       The  Salt requisite system is used to create relationships between states. This provides a
       method  to  easily  define  inter-dependencies  between  states.  These  dependencies  are
       expressed  by  declaring  the  relationships  using  state  names  and  IDs  or names. The
       generalized form of a requisite target is <state name>: <ID or name>. The specific form is
       defined as a Requisite Reference.

       A common use-case for requisites is ensuring a package has been installed before trying to
       ensure the service is running. In the following example, Salt will ensure nginx  has  been
       installed before trying to manage the service. If the package could not be installed, Salt
       will not try to manage the service.

          nginx:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nginx-light
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx

       Without the requisite defined, salt would attempt to install the package and then  attempt
       to manage the service even if the installation failed.

       These  requisites  always  form  dependencies  in  a  predictable  single direction.  Each
       requisite has an alternate <requisite>_in form that can be used to establish  a  "reverse"
       dependency--useful in for loops.

       In  the end, a single dependency map is created and everything is executed in a finite and
       predictable order.

   Requisite matching
       Requisites typically need two pieces of information for matching:

       • The state module name (e.g. pkg or service)

       • The state identifier (e.g. nginx or /etc/nginx/nginx.conf)

          nginx:
            pkg.installed: []
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx
                - file: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

   Glob matching in requisites
       New in version 0.9.8.

       Glob matching is supported in requisites. This is mostly useful for file changes.  In  the
       example        below,       a       change       in       /etc/apache2/httpd.conf       or
       /etc/apache2/sites-available/default.conf will reload/restart the service:

          apache2:
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/apache2/*

   Omitting state module in requisites
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       In version 2016.3.0, the state module name was made  optional.  If  the  state  module  is
       omitted,  all states matching the ID will be required, regardless of which module they are
       using.

          - require:
            - vim

   State target matching
       In order to understand how state targets are matched, it is helpful to know how the  state
       compiler is working. Consider the following example:

          Deploy server package:
            file.managed:
              - name: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
              - source: salt://myapp.tar.xz

          Extract server package:
            archive.extracted:
              - name: /usr/local/share/myapp
              - source: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
              - archive_format: tar
              - onchanges:
                - file: Deploy server package

       The  first  formula  is  converted  to a dictionary which looks as follows (represented as
       YAML, some properties omitted for simplicity) as High Data:

          Deploy server package:
            file:
              - managed
              - name: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
              - source: salt://myapp.tar.xz

       The file.managed format used in the formula is essentially syntactic sugar:  at  the  end,
       the target is file, which is used in the Extract server package state above.

   Identifier matching
       Requisites  match  on both the ID Declaration and the name parameter.  This means that, in
       the "Deploy server package" example above, a require requisite  would  match  with  Deploy
       server  package  or /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz, so either of the following versions for
       "Extract server package" is correct:

          # (Archive arguments omitted for simplicity)

          # Match by ID declaration
          Extract server package:
            archive.extracted:
              - onchanges:
                - file: Deploy server package

          # Match by name parameter
          Extract server package:
            archive.extracted:
              - onchanges:
                - file: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz

   Omitting state module in requisites
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       In version 2016.3.0, the state module name was made  optional.  If  the  state  module  is
       omitted,  all states matching the ID will be required, regardless of which module they are
       using.

          - require:
            - vim

   Requisites Types
       All requisite types have a corresponding <requisite>_in form:

       • require: Requires that a list of target states succeed before execution

       • onchanges: Execute if any target states succeed with changes

       • watch: Similar to onchanges; modifies state behavior using mod_watchlisten: Similar to onchanges; delays execution to end of state run using mod_waitprereq: Execute prior to target state if target state expects to produce changes

       • onfail: Execute only if a target state fails

       • use: Copy arguments from another state

       Several requisite types have a corresponding requisite_any form:

       • require_anywatch_anyonchanges_anyonfail_any

       Lastly, onfail has one special onfail_all form to account for when AND  logic  is  desired
       instead of the default OR logic of onfail/onfail_any (which are equivalent).

       All  requisites  define  specific  relationships and always work with the dependency logic
       defined above.

   require
       The use of require builds a dependency that prevents a  state  from  executing  until  all
       required  states  execute  successfully.  If any required state fails, then the state will
       fail due to requisites.

       In the following example, the service state will not be checked unless  both  file  states
       execute without failure.

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - require:
                - file: /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
                - file: /etc/nginx/conf.d/ssl.conf

   Require SLS File
       As  of  Salt  0.16.0,  it  is  possible  to  require  an entire sls file. Do this by first
       including the sls file and then setting a state to require the included sls file:

          include:
            - foo

          bar:
            pkg.installed:
              - require:
                - sls: foo

       This will add a require to all of the state declarations found in the given sls file. This
       means  that  bar  will  require  every state within foo.  This makes it very easy to batch
       large groups of states easily in any requisite statement.

   onchanges
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The onchanges requisite makes a state only apply if the required states generate  changes,
       and  if the watched state's "result" is True (does not fail).  This can be a useful way to
       execute a post hook after changing aspects of a system.

       If a state has multiple onchanges requisites then the state will trigger  if  any  of  the
       watched states changes.

          myservice:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
              - source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf
            cmd.run:
              - name: /usr/local/sbin/run-build
              - onchanges:
                - file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf

       In  the  example  above,  cmd.run  will  run only if there are changes in the file.managed
       state.

       An easy mistake to make is using onchanges_in when onchanges is  the  correct  choice,  as
       seen in this next example.

          myservice:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
              - source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf
            cmd.run:
              - name: /usr/local/sbin/run-build
              - onchanges_in:  # <-- broken logic
                - file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf

       This  will set up a requisite relationship in which the cmd.run state always executes, and
       the file.managed state only executes if the cmd.run state has  changes  (which  it  always
       will, since the cmd.run state includes the command results as changes).

       It  may semantically seem like the cmd.run state should only run when there are changes in
       the file state, but remember that  requisite  relationships  involve  one  state  watching
       another  state,  and  a  requisite_in  does the opposite: it forces the specified state to
       watch the state with the requisite_in.

       NOTE:
          An onchanges requisite has no effect on SLS requisites (monitoring for  changes  in  an
          included SLS). Only the individual state IDs from an included SLS can be monitored.

   watch
       A  watch  requisite  is  used  to  add additional behavior when there are changes in other
       states. This is done using the mod_watch function available from the execution module  and
       will execute any time a watched state changes.

       NOTE:
          If  a  state  should  only  execute  when  another  state has changes, and otherwise do
          nothing, the onchanges requisite should be used instead of watch. watch is designed  to
          add  additional  behavior  when  there  are  changes,  but otherwise the state executes
          normally.

       NOTE:
          A watch requisite has no effect on SLS requisites (watching for changes in an  included
          SLS). Only the individual state IDs from an included SLS can be watched.

       A  good  example  of using watch is with a service.running state. When a service watches a
       state, then the service is reloaded/restarted when the watched state changes, in  addition
       to Salt ensuring that the service is running.

          ntpd:
            service.running:
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/ntp.conf
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/ntp.conf
              - source: salt://ntp/files/ntp.conf

       Another  useful  example  of watch is using salt to ensure a configuration file is present
       and in a correct state, ensure the service is running, and trigger  service  nginx  reload
       instead of service nginx restart in order to avoid dropping any connections.

          nginx:
            service.running:
              - reload: True
              - watch:
                - file: nginx
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/nginx/conf.d/tls-settings.conf
              - source: salt://nginx/files/tls-settings.conf

       NOTE:
          Not all state modules contain mod_watch. If mod_watch is absent from the watching state
          module, the watch requisite behaves exactly like a require requisite.

       The state containing the watch requisite is defined  as  the  watching  state.  The  state
       specified  in  the watch statement is defined as the watched state. When the watched state
       executes, it will return a dictionary containing a  key  named  "changes".  Here  are  two
       examples of state return dictionaries, shown in json for clarity:

          {
              "local": {
                  "file_|-/tmp/foo_|-/tmp/foo_|-directory": {
                      "comment": "Directory /tmp/foo updated",
                      "__run_num__": 0,
                      "changes": {
                          "user": "bar"
                      },
                      "name": "/tmp/foo",
                      "result": true
                  }
              }
          }

          {
              "local": {
                  "pkgrepo_|-salt-minion_|-salt-minion_|-managed": {
                      "comment": "Package repo 'salt-minion' already configured",
                      "__run_num__": 0,
                      "changes": {},
                      "name": "salt-minion",
                      "result": true
                  }
              }
          }

       If  the  "result"  of the watched state is True, the watching state will execute normally,
       and if it is False, the watching state will never run.  This part  of  watch  mirrors  the
       functionality of the require requisite.

       If  the  "result"  of the watched state is True and the "changes" key contains a populated
       dictionary (changes occurred in the watched state),  then  the  watch  requisite  can  add
       additional  behavior. This additional behavior is defined by the mod_watch function within
       the watching state module. If the mod_watch function exists in the watching state  module,
       it  will  be  called  in  addition  to the normal watching state. The return data from the
       mod_watch function is what will be returned to the master in this case;  the  return  data
       from the main watching function is discarded.

       If  the  "changes" key contains an empty dictionary, the watch requisite acts exactly like
       the require requisite (the watching state will execute if "result" is True,  and  fail  if
       "result" is False in the watched state).

       NOTE:
          If  the  watching state changes key contains values, then mod_watch will not be called.
          If you're using watch or watch_in then it's a good idea  to  have  a  state  that  only
          enforces  one  attribute - such as splitting out service.running into its own state and
          have service.enabled in another.

       One common source of confusion is expecting mod_watch to be  called  for  every  necessary
       change. You might be tempted to write something like this:

          httpd:
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - watch:
                - file: httpd-config

          httpd-config:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/files/apache.conf

       If  your  service  is  already running but not enabled, you might expect that Salt will be
       able to tell that since the config file changed your service needs to be  restarted.  This
       is  not  the  case.  Because the service needs to be enabled, that change will be made and
       mod_watch will never be triggered. In this case, changes to your apache.conf will fail  to
       be  loaded.  If  you  want  to  ensure that your service always reloads the correct way to
       handle this is either ensure that your service is not running before applying your  state,
       or simply make sure that service.running is in a state on its own:

          enable-httpd:
            service.enabled:
              - name: httpd

          start-httpd:
            service.running:
              - name: httpd
              - watch:
                - file: httpd-config

          httpd-config:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
              - source: salt://httpd/files/apache.conf

       Now  that  service.running  is  its  own  state, changes to service.enabled will no longer
       prevent mod_watch from getting triggered, so your httpd service will  get  restarted  like
       you want.

   listen
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       A listen requisite is used to trigger the mod_wait function of an execution module. Rather
       than modifying execution order, the mod_wait state created by listen will execute  at  the
       end of the state run.

          restart-apache2:
            service.running:
              - name: apache2
              - listen:
                - file: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

          configure-apache2:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
              - source: salt://apache2/apache2.conf

       This  example will cause apache2 to restart when the apache2.conf file is changed, but the
       apache2 restart will happen at the end of the state run.

          restart-apache2:
            service.running:
              - name: apache2

          configure-apache2:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
              - source: salt://apache2/apache2.conf
              - listen_in:
                - service: apache2

       This example does the same as the above example, but puts the state argument on  the  file
       resource, rather than the service resource.

   prereq
       New in version 0.16.0.

       The  prereq  requisite  works  similar  to  onchanges  except that it uses the result from
       test=True on the observed state to determine if it should run prior to the observed  state
       being run.

       The  best  way  to  define  how  prereq  operates  is displayed in the following practical
       example: When a service should be shut down because underlying code is  going  to  change,
       the  service should be off-line while the update occurs. In this example, graceful-down is
       the pre-requiring state and site-code is the pre-required state.

          graceful-down:
            cmd.run:
              - name: service apache graceful
              - prereq:
                - file: site-code

          site-code:
            file.recurse:
              - name: /opt/site_code
              - source: salt://site/code

       In this case, the apache server will only be shut down if the site-code state  expects  to
       deploy  fresh  code  via  the  file.recurse  call.  The  site-code deployment will only be
       executed if the graceful-down run completes successfully.

       When a prereq requisite is evaluated, the pre-required state reports if it expects to have
       any  changes.  It  does  this  by  running  the pre-required single state as a test-run by
       enabling test=True. This  test-run  will  return  a  dictionary  containing  a  key  named
       "changes". (See the watch section above for examples of "changes" dictionaries.)

       If the "changes" key contains a populated dictionary, it means that the pre-required state
       expects changes to occur when the state is actually executed, as opposed to the  test-run.
       The  pre-requiring  state  will now run. If the pre-requiring state executes successfully,
       the  pre-required  state  will  then  execute.  If  the  pre-requiring  state  fails,  the
       pre-required state will not execute.

       If  the  "changes"  key  contains  an  empty  dictionary,  this means that changes are not
       expected by the pre-required state. Neither the pre-required state nor  the  pre-requiring
       state will run.

   onfail
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The  onfail requisite allows for reactions to happen strictly as a response to the failure
       of another state. This can be used in a number of ways, such as sending a notification  or
       attempting an alternate task or thread of tasks when an important state fails.

       The onfail requisite is applied in the same way as require and watch:

          primary_mount:
            mount.mounted:
              - name: /mnt/share
              - device: 10.0.0.45:/share
              - fstype: nfs

          backup_mount:
            mount.mounted:
              - name: /mnt/share
              - device: 192.168.40.34:/share
              - fstype: nfs
              - onfail:
                - mount: primary_mount

          build_site:
            cmd.run:
              - name: /srv/web/app/build_site

          notify-build_failure:
            hipchat.send_message:
              - room_id: 123456
              - message: "Building website fail on {{ salt.grains.get('id') }}"

       The  default behavior of the onfail when multiple requisites are listed is the opposite of
       other requisites in the salt state engine, it acts by default like any() instead of all().
       This  means  that  when  you  list  multiple onfail requisites on a state, if any fail the
       requisite will be satisfied.  If you instead need all logic to be  applied,  you  can  use
       onfail_all form:

          test_site_a:
            cmd.run:
              - name: ping -c1 10.0.0.1

          test_site_b:
            cmd.run:
              - name: ping -c1 10.0.0.2

          notify_site_down:
            hipchat.send_message:
              - room_id: 123456
              - message: "Both primary and backup sites are down!"
            - onfail_all:
              - cmd: test_site_a
              - cmd: test_site_b

       In  this  contrived example notify_site_down will run when both 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 fail
       to respond to ping.

       NOTE:
          Setting failhard (globally or  in  the  failing  state)  to  True  will  cause  onfail,
          onfail_in  and  onfail_any  requisites  to be ignored.  If you want to combine a global
          failhard set to True with onfail, onfail_in or onfail_any, you will have to  explicitly
          set failhard to False (overriding the global setting) in the state that could fail.

       NOTE:
          Beginning  in  the  2016.11.0 release of Salt, onfail uses OR logic for multiple listed
          onfail requisites. Prior to the 2016.11.0 release, onfail used  AND  logic.  See  Issue
          #22370  for  more information.  Beginning in the Neon release of Salt, a new onfail_all
          requisite form is available if AND logic is desired.

   use
       The use requisite is used to inherit the arguments passed in another id declaration.  This
       is useful when many files need to have the same defaults.

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf
              - template: jinja
              - mkdirs: True
              - user: apache
              - group: apache
              - mode: 755

          /etc/bar.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://bar.conf
              - use:
                - file: /etc/foo.conf

       The use statement was developed primarily for the networking states but can be used on any
       states in Salt. This makes sense for the networking state because it  can  define  a  long
       list of options that need to be applied to multiple network interfaces.

       The  use  statement  does not inherit the requisites arguments of the targeted state. This
       means also a chain of use requisites would not inherit inherited options.

   The _in version of requisites
       Direct requisites form a dependency in a single direction. This makes it possible for Salt
       to  detect  cyclical  dependencies and helps prevent faulty logic. In some cases, often in
       loops, it is desirable to establish a dependency in the opposite direction.

       All direct requisites have an  _in  counterpart  that  behaves  the  same  but  forms  the
       dependency  in  the  opposite direction. The following sls examples will produce the exact
       same dependency mapping.

          httpd:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - require:
                - pkg: httpd

          httpd:
            pkg.installed:
              - require_in:
                - service: httpd
            service.running: []

       In the following  example,  Salt  will  not  try  to  manage  the  nginx  service  or  any
       configuration  files  unless  the  nginx  package  is  installed because of the pkg: nginx
       requisite.

          nginx:
            pkg.installed: []
            service.running:
              - enable: True
              - reload: True
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx

       php.sls

          include:
            - http

          php:
            pkg.installed:
              - require_in:
                - service: httpd

       mod_python.sls

          include:
            - http

          mod_python:
            pkg.installed:
              - require_in:
                - service: httpd

       Now the httpd server will only start if both php and mod_python are first verified  to  be
       installed. Thus allowing for a requisite to be defined "after the fact".

          {% for cfile in salt.pillar.get('nginx:config_files') %}
          /etc/nginx/conf.d/{{ cfile }}:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://nginx/configs/{{ cfile }}
              - require:
                - pkg: nginx
              - listen_in:
                - service: nginx
          {% endfor %}

       In  this  scenario,  listen_in  is  a  better  choice  than  require_in because the listen
       requisite will trigger mod_wait behavior which will wait until the end of state  execution
       and then reload the service.

   The _any version of requisites
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Some requisites have an _any counterpart that changes the requisite behavior from all() to
       any().

          A:
            cmd.run:
              - name: echo A
              - require_any:
                - cmd: B
                - cmd: C

          B:
            cmd.run:
              - name: echo B

          C:
            cmd.run:
              - name: /bin/false

       In this example A will run because at least one of the requirements  specified,  B  or  C,
       will succeed.

          myservice:
            pkg.installed

          /etc/myservice/myservice.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf

          /etc/yourservice/yourservice.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://yourservice/files/yourservice.conf

          /usr/local/sbin/myservice/post-changes-hook.sh
            cmd.run:
              - onchanges_any:
                - file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
                - file: /etc/your_service/yourservice.conf
              - require:
                - pkg: myservice

       In  this example, cmd.run would be run only if either of the file.managed states generated
       changes and at least one of the watched state's "result" is True.

   Altering States
       The state altering system is used to make sure that states are evaluated  exactly  as  the
       user  expects.  It  can  be used to double check that a state preformed exactly how it was
       expected to, or to make 100% sure that a state only runs under certain conditions. The use
       of  unless  or  onlyif  options  help make states even more stateful. The check_cmd option
       helps ensure that the result of a state is evaluated correctly.

   reload
       reload_modules is a boolean option that forces salt to reload its modules  after  a  state
       finishes. reload_pillar and reload_grains can also be set.  See Reloading Modules.

          grains_refresh:
            module.run:
             - name: saltutil.refresh_grains
             - reload_grains: true

          grains_read:
            module.run:
             - name: grains.items

   unless
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The  unless  requisite  specifies  that  a state should only run when any of the specified
       commands return False. The unless requisite operates as NAND and is useful in giving  more
       granular control over when a state should execute.

       NOTE:  Under  the  hood  unless  calls  cmd.retcode with python_shell=True. This means the
       commands referenced by unless will be parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this
       shell  will  be  run  with  the same privileges as the salt-minion. Also be aware that the
       boolean value is determined by the shell's concept of True and False, rather than Python's
       concept of True and False.

          vim:
            pkg.installed:
              - unless:
                - rpm -q vim-enhanced
                - ls /usr/bin/vim

       In  the  example  above, the state will only run if either the vim-enhanced package is not
       installed (returns False) or if /usr/bin/vim does not exist  (returns  False).  The  state
       will run if both commands return False.

       However, the state will not run if both commands return True.

       Unless checks are resolved for each name to which they are associated.

       For example:

          deploy_app:
            cmd.run:
              - names:
                - first_deploy_cmd
                - second_deploy_cmd
              - unless: some_check

       In   the   above  case,  some_check  will  be  run  prior  to  _each_  name  --  once  for
       first_deploy_cmd and a second time for second_deploy_cmd.

       Changed in version 3000: The unless requisite can take a module as a dictionary  field  in
       unless.   The  dictionary  must  contain an argument fun which is the module that is being
       run, and everything else must be passed in under  the  args  key  or  will  be  passed  as
       individual kwargs to the module function.

          install apache on debian based distros:
            cmd.run:

                    - mysql-server-5.7

       Changed  in  version  sodium:  For  modules  which  return  a  deeper  data structure, the
       get_return key can be used to access results.

          test:
            test.nop:

              - unless:
                - fun: consul.get
                  consul_url: http://127.0.0.1:8500
                  key:  not-existing
                  get_return: res

   onlyif
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The onlyif requisite specifies that if each command listed in onlyif  returns  True,  then
       the state is run. If any of the specified commands return False, the state will not run.

       NOTE:  Under  the  hood  onlyif  calls  cmd.retcode with python_shell=True. This means the
       commands referenced by onlyif will be parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this
       shell  will  be  run  with  the same privileges as the salt-minion. Also be aware that the
       boolean value is determined by the shell's concept of True and False, rather than Python's
       concept of True and False.

          stop-volume:
            module.run:
              - name: glusterfs.stop_volume
              - m_name: work
              - onlyif:
                - gluster volume status work
              - order: 1

          remove-volume:
            module.run:
              - name: glusterfs.delete
              - m_name: work
              - onlyif:
                - gluster volume info work
              - watch:
                - cmd: stop-volume

       The  above example ensures that the stop_volume and delete modules only run if the gluster
       commands return a 0 ret value.

       Changed in version 3000: The onlyif requisite can take a module as a dictionary  field  in
       onlyif.   The  dictionary  must  contain an argument fun which is the module that is being
       run, and everything else must be passed in under  the  args  key  or  will  be  passed  as
       individual kwargs to the module function.

       Changed  in  version  sodium:  For  modules  which  return  a  deeper  data structure, the
       get_return key can be used to access results.

   Creates
       New in version 3001.

       The creates requisite specifies that a state should only run when  any  of  the  specified
       files  do not already exist. Like unless, creates requisite operates as NAND and is useful
       in giving more granular control over when a state should execute. This was previously used
       by the cmd and docker_container states.

              contrived creates example:
                file.touch:
                  - name: /path/to/file
                  - creates: /path/to/file

       creates  also  accepts  a  list  of files, in which case this state will run if any of the
       files do not exist:

              creates list:
                file.cmd:
                  - name: /path/to/command
                  - creates:
                      - /path/file
                      - /path/file2

   runas
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       The runas global option is used to set the user which will be used to run the  command  in
       the cmd.run module.

          django:
            pip.installed:
              - name: django >= 1.6, <= 1.7
              - runas: daniel
              - require:
                - pkg: python-pip

       In the above state, the pip command run by cmd.run will be run by the daniel user.

   runas_password
       New in version 2017.7.2.

       The  runas_password  global  option  is  used to set the password used by the runas global
       option. This is required by cmd.run on Windows when runas is specified.  It  will  be  set
       when runas_password is defined in the state.

          run_script:
            cmd.run:
              - name: Powershell -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\\Temp\\script.ps1
              - runas: frank
              - runas_password: supersecret

       In  the  above  state,  the Powershell script run by cmd.run will be run by the frank user
       with the password supersecret.

   check_cmd
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Check Command is used for determining that a state did or did not run as expected.

       NOTE: Under the hood check_cmd calls cmd.retcode with python_shell=True.  This  means  the
       commands referenced by unless will be parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this
       shell will be run with the same privileges as the salt-minion.

          comment-repo:
            file.replace:
              - name: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
              - pattern: '^enabled=0'
              - repl: enabled=1
              - check_cmd:
                - "! grep 'enabled=0' /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo"

       This will attempt to do a replace on all enabled=0 in the .repo  file,  and  replace  them
       with  enabled=1.  The check_cmd is just a bash command. It will do a grep for enabled=0 in
       the file, and if it finds any, it will return a 0, which will be inverted by  the  leading
       !, causing check_cmd to set the state as failed. If it returns a 1, meaning it didn't find
       any enabled=0, it will be inverted by the leading !, returning  a  0,  and  declaring  the
       function succeeded.

       NOTE:   This   requisite  check_cmd  functions  differently  than  the  check_cmd  of  the
       file.managed state.

   Overriding Checks
       There are two commands used for the above checks.

       mod_run_check is used to check for onlyif and unless. If  the  goal  is  to  override  the
       global check for these to variables, include a mod_run_check in the salt/states/ file.

       mod_run_check_cmd  is  used  to  check  for  the  check_cmd options. To override this one,
       include a mod_run_check_cmd in the states file for the state.

   Fire Event Notifications
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       The fire_event option in a state will cause the minion to send an event to the Salt Master
       upon completion of that individual state.

       The following example will cause the minion to send an event to the Salt Master with a tag
       of salt/state_result/20150505121517276431/dasalt/nano and the result of the state will  be
       the data field of the event. Notice that the name of the state gets added to the tag.

          nano_stuff:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - fire_event: True

       In  the  following  example instead of setting fire_event to True, fire_event is set to an
       arbitrary  string,  which  will  cause   the   event   to   be   sent   with   this   tag:
       salt/state_result/20150505121725642845/dasalt/custom/tag/nano/finished

          nano_stuff:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - fire_event: custom/tag/nano/finished

   Retrying States
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       The retry option in a state allows it to be executed multiple times until a desired result
       is obtained or the maximum number of attempts have been made.

       The retry option can be configured by the attempts, until, interval, and splay parameters.

       The attempts parameter controls the maximum number of times the state will be run.  If not
       specified or if an invalid value is specified, attempts will default to 2.

       The  until  parameter  defines the result that is required to stop retrying the state.  If
       not specified or if an invalid value is specified, until will default to True

       The interval parameter defines the amount of time, in seconds, that the system  will  wait
       between  attempts.   If  not  specified or if an invalid value is specified, interval will
       default to 30.

       The splay parameter allows the interval to be additionally spread out.  If  not  specified
       or if an invalid value is specified, splay defaults to 0 (i.e. no splaying will occur).

       The  following  example  will  run the pkg.installed state until it returns True or it has
       been run 5 times.  Each attempt will be 60 seconds apart and the interval will be  splayed
       up to an additional 10 seconds:

          my_retried_state:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - retry:
                  attempts: 5
                  until: True
                  interval: 60
                  splay: 10

       The  following  example  will run the pkg.installed state with all the defaults for retry.
       The state will run up to 2 times, each attempt being 30 seconds apart, or until it returns
       True.

          install_nano:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: nano
              - retry: True

       The  following  example  will run the file.exists state every 30 seconds up to 15 times or
       until the file exists (i.e. the state returns True).

          wait_for_file:
            file.exists:
              - name: /path/to/file
              - retry:
                  attempts: 15
                  interval: 30

   Return data from a retried state
       When a state is retried, the returned output is as follows:

       The result return value is the result from the final run.  For example,  imagine  a  state
       set to retry up to three times or until True.  If the state returns False on the first run
       and then True on the second, the result of the state will be True.

       The started return value is the started from the first run.

       The duration return value is the total duration of all attempts plus the retry intervals.

       The comment return value will include the result and comment from all previous attempts.

       For example:

          wait_for_file:
            file.exists:
              - name: /path/to/file
              - retry:
                  attempts: 10
                  interval: 2
                  splay: 5

       Would return similar to the following.  The state result in this case is False (file.exist
       was  run  10  times  with a 2 second interval, but the file specified did not exist on any
       run).

                ID: wait_for_file
          Function: file.exists
            Result: False
           Comment: Attempt 1: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 2: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 3: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 4: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 5: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 6: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"

                    Attempt 8: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"
                    Attempt 9: Returned a result of "False", with the following comment: "Specified path /path/to/file does not exist"

          Duration: 47000.0 ms
           Changes:

   Startup States
       Sometimes it may be desired that the salt minion execute a state run when it  is  started.
       This  alleviates  the  need for the master to initiate a state run on a new minion and can
       make provisioning much easier.

       As of Salt 0.10.3 the minion config reads options that allow for states to be executed  at
       startup. The options are startup_states, sls_list, and top_file.

       The  startup_states  option  can  be  passed one of a number of arguments to define how to
       execute states. The available options are:

       highstate
              Execute state.apply

       sls    Read in the sls_list option and execute the named sls files

       top    Read in the top_file option and execute states based on that top file on  the  Salt
              Master

   Examples:
       Execute state.apply to run the highstate when starting the minion:

          startup_states: highstate

       Execute the sls files edit.vim and hyper:

          startup_states: sls

          sls_list:
            - edit.vim
            - hyper

   State Testing
       Executing  a  Salt state run can potentially change many aspects of a system and it may be
       desirable to first see what a state run is going to change before applying the run.

       Salt has a test interface to report on exactly what will be changed, this interface can be
       invoked on any of the major state run functions:

          salt '*' state.apply test=True
          salt '*' state.apply mysls test=True
          salt '*' state.single test=True

       The  test  run  is  mandated  by  adding  the  test=True  option to the states. The return
       information will show states that will be applied in yellow and the result is reported  as
       None.

   Default Test
       If the value test is set to True in the minion configuration file then states will default
       to being executed in test mode. If this value is set then  states  can  still  be  run  by
       calling test=False:

          salt '*' state.apply test=False
          salt '*' state.apply mysls test=False
          salt '*' state.single test=False

   The Top File
   Introduction
       Most  infrastructures  are  made  up  of  groups  of  machines,  each machine in the group
       performing a role similar to others. Those groups of machines work in  concert  with  each
       other to create an application stack.

       To  effectively  manage  those  groups  of  machines, an administrator needs to be able to
       create roles for those groups. For example, a group of machines that serve  front-end  web
       traffic  might  have  roles  which indicate that those machines should all have the Apache
       webserver package installed and that the Apache service should always be running.

       In Salt, the file which contains a mapping between groups of machines on a network and the
       configuration roles that should be applied to them is called a top file.

       Top  files are named top.sls by default and they are so-named because they always exist in
       the "top" of a directory hierarchy that contains state files.  That directory hierarchy is
       called a state tree.

   A Basic Example
       Top files have three components:

       • Environment:  A  state  tree  directory  containing  a  set  of state files to configure
         systems.

       • Target: A grouping of machines which will have a set of states applied to them.

       • State files: A list of state files to apply to a target. Each state file  describes  one
         or more states to be configured and enforced on the targeted machines.

       The relationship between these three components is nested as follows:

       • Environments contain targets

       • Targets contain states

       Putting  these  concepts together, we can describe a scenario in which all minions with an
       ID that begins with web have an apache state applied to them:

          base:          # Apply SLS files from the directory root for the 'base' environment
            'web*':      # All minions with a minion_id that begins with 'web'
              - apache   # Apply the state file named 'apache.sls'

   Environments
       Environments are directory hierarchies which contain a top file and a set of state files.

       Environments can be used in many ways, however there is no requirement that they  be  used
       at  all.  In fact, the most common way to deploy Salt is with a single environment, called
       base. It is recommended that users only create multiple environments if they  have  a  use
       case which specifically calls for multiple versions of state trees.

   Getting Started with Top Files
       Each environment is defined inside a salt master configuration variable called, file_roots
       .

       In the most common single-environment setup, only  the  base  environment  is  defined  in
       file_roots along with only one directory path for the state tree.

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt

       In the above example, the top file will only have a single environment to pull from.

       Next  is  a  simple  single-environment top file placed in /srv/salt/top.sls, illustrating
       that for the environment called base, all minions will have the state files named core.sls
       and edit.sls applied to them.

          base:
            '*':
              - core
              - edit

       Assuming  the  file_roots  configuration  from  above,  Salt  will  look  in the /srv/salt
       directory for core.sls and edit.sls.

   Multiple Environments
       In some cases, teams may wish to create versioned state trees which can be  used  to  test
       Salt  configurations  in  isolated  sets  of  systems such as a staging environment before
       deploying states into production.

       For this case, multiple environments can be used to accomplish this task.

       To create multiple environments, the file_roots option can be expanded:

          file_roots:
            dev:
              - /srv/salt/dev
            qa:
              - /srv/salt/qa
            prod:
              - /srv/salt/prod

       In the above, we declare three environments: dev, qa and prod.   Each  environment  has  a
       single directory assigned to it.

       Our top file references the environments:

          dev:
            'webserver*':
              - webserver
            'db*':
              - db
          qa:
            'webserver*':
              - webserver
            'db*':
              - db
          prod:
            'webserver*':
              - webserver
            'db*':
              - db

       As  seen  above,  the  top  file  now declares the three environments and for each, target
       expressions are defined to map minions to state files. For example, all minions which have
       an ID beginning with the string webserver will have the webserver state from the requested
       environment assigned to it.

       In this manner, a proposed change to a state could first  be  made  in  a  state  file  in
       /srv/salt/dev  and  then be applied to development webservers before moving the state into
       QA by copying the state file into /srv/salt/qa.

   Choosing an Environment to Target
       The top file is used to assign a minion to an  environment  unless  overridden  using  the
       methods  described  below.  The  environment  in  the top file must match valid fileserver
       environment (a.k.a. saltenv) in order for any states to be applied to  that  minion.  When
       using the default fileserver backend, environments are defined in file_roots.

       The states that will be applied to a minion in a given environment can be viewed using the
       state.show_top function.

       Minions may be pinned to a particular environment by setting the environment value in  the
       minion  configuration  file.  In  doing  so,  a  minion  will  only request files from the
       environment to which it is assigned.

       The environment may also be dynamically selected at runtime by passing  it  to  the  salt,
       salt-call  or  salt-ssh  command.  This  is most commonly done with functions in the state
       module by using the saltenv argument. For example, to run  a  highstate  on  all  minions,
       using  only  the  top  file  and  SLS  files  in  the  prod  environment,  run:  salt  '*'
       state.highstate saltenv=prod.

       NOTE:
          Not all functions  accept  saltenv  as  an  argument,  see  the  documentation  for  an
          individual function documentation to verify.

   Shorthand
       If you assign only one SLS to a system, as in this example, a shorthand is also available:

          base:
            '*': global
          dev:
            'webserver*': webserver
            'db*':        db
          qa:
            'webserver*': webserver
            'db*':        db
          prod:
            'webserver*': webserver
            'db*':        db

   Advanced Minion Targeting
       In  the  examples  above, notice that all of the target expressions are globs. The default
       match type in top files (since version 2014.7.0) is actually the compound matcher, not the
       glob matcher as in the CLI.

       A  single glob, when passed through the compound matcher, acts the same way as matching by
       glob, so in most cases the two are indistinguishable. However, there is an  edge  case  in
       which  a minion ID contains whitespace. While it is not recommended to include spaces in a
       minion ID, Salt will not stop you from doing so. However, since compound  expressions  are
       parsed  word-by-word,  if  a minion ID contains spaces it will fail to match. In this edge
       case, it will be necessary to explicitly use the glob matcher:

          base:
            'minion 1':
              - match: glob
              - foo

       The available match types which can be set for a target expression in the top file are:

       Below is a slightly more complex top file example, showing some of the above match types:

          # All files will be taken from the file path specified in the base
          # environment in the ``file_roots`` configuration value.

          base:
              # All minions which begin with the strings 'nag1' or any minion with
              # a grain set called 'role' with the value of 'monitoring' will have
              # the 'server.sls' state file applied from the 'nagios/' directory.

              'nag1* or G@role:monitoring':
                  - nagios.server

              # All minions get the following three state files applied

              '*':
                  - ldap-client
                  - networking

              # the root specified in the ``base`` environment in the
              # configuration value for ``file_roots``.

              'salt-master*':
                  - salt.master

              # Minions that have an ID matching the following regular
              # expression will have the state file called 'web.sls' in the
              # nagios/mon directory applied. Additionally, minions matching
              # the regular expression will also have the 'server.sls' file
              # in the apache/ directory applied.

              # NOTE!
              #
              # Take note of the 'match' directive here, which tells Salt
              # to treat the target string as a regex to be matched!

              '^(memcache|web).(qa|prod).loc$':
                  - match: pcre
                  - nagios.mon.web
                  - apache.server

              # Minions that have a grain set indicating that they are running
              # the Ubuntu operating system will have the state file called

              #
              # Again take note of the 'match' directive here which tells
              # Salt to match against a grain instead of a minion ID.

              'os:Ubuntu':
                  - match: grain
                  - repos.ubuntu

                  - match: pillar
                  - xyz

   How Top Files Are Compiled
       When a highstate is executed and an environment is specified (either using the environment
       config  option  or  by  passing  the  saltenv  when  executing  the  highstate), then that
       environment's top file is the only top file used to assign states  to  minions,  and  only
       states from the specified environment will be run.

       The remainder of this section applies to cases in which a highstate is executed without an
       environment specified.

       With no environment specified, the minion will look for a top file  in  each  environment,
       and  each  top file will be processed to determine the SLS files to run on the minions. By
       default, the top files from each environment will be merged  together.  In  configurations
       with  many  environments,  such  as  with  GitFS where each branch and tag is treated as a
       distinct environment, this may cause unexpected results as SLS files from older tags cause
       defunct  SLS  files to be included in the highstate. In cases like this, it can be helpful
       to set top_file_merging_strategy to same to force each environment  to  use  its  own  top
       file.

          top_file_merging_strategy: same

       Another option would be to set state_top_saltenv to a specific environment, to ensure that
       any top files in other environments are disregarded:

          state_top_saltenv: base

       With GitFS, it  can  also  be  helpful  to  simply  manage  each  environment's  top  file
       separately,  and/or manually specify the environment when executing the highstate to avoid
       any complicated merging scenarios.   gitfs_saltenv_whitelist  and  gitfs_saltenv_blacklist
       can also be used to hide unneeded branches and tags from GitFS to reduce the number of top
       files in play.

       When using multiple environments, it is not necessary  to  create  a  top  file  for  each
       environment.  The  easiest-to-maintain  approach is to use a single top file placed in the
       base environment. This is often infeasible with GitFS though, since branching/tagging  can
       easily  result  in  extra  top  files.  However,  when only the default (roots) fileserver
       backend is used, a single top file in the base environment  is  the  most  common  way  of
       configuring a highstate.

       The  following  minion  configuration  options  affect  how top files are compiled when no
       environment is specified, it is recommended to follow the below four links to  learn  more
       about how these options work:

   Top File Compilation Examples
       For the scenarios below, assume the following configuration:

       /etc/salt/master:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/salt/base
            dev:
              - /srv/salt/dev
            qa:
              - /srv/salt/qa

       /srv/salt/base/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - base1
          dev:
            '*':
              - dev1
          qa:
            '*':
              - qa1

       /srv/salt/dev/top.sls:

          base:
            'minion1':
              - base2
          dev:
            'minion2':
              - dev2
          qa:
            '*':
              - qa1
              - qa2

       NOTE:
          For the purposes of these examples, there is no top file in the qa environment.

   Scenario 1 - dev Environment Specified
       In  this  scenario,  the  highstate  was either invoked with saltenv=dev or the minion has
       environment: dev set in the minion config file. The result will be that only the dev2  SLS
       from the dev environment will be part of the highstate, and it will be applied to minion2,
       while minion1 will have no states applied to it.

       If the base environment were specified, the result would be that only the base1  SLS  from
       the  base  environment  would  be  part  of  the highstate, and it would be applied to all
       minions.

       If the qa environment were specified, the highstate would exit with an error.

   Scenario 2 - No Environment Specified, top_file_merging_strategy is merge
       In this scenario, assuming that the base environment's top file was evaluated  first,  the
       base1,  dev1,  and  qa1  states  would be applied to all minions. If, for instance, the qa
       environment is not defined in /srv/salt/base/top.sls, then because there is  no  top  file
       for the qa environment, no states from the qa environment would be applied.

   Scenario 3 - No Environment Specified, top_file_merging_strategy is same
       Changed  in  version  2016.11.0: In prior versions, "same" did not quite work as described
       below (see here). This has now been corrected. It was decided that changing something like
       top  file  handling in a point release had the potential to unexpectedly impact users' top
       files too much, and it would be better to make this correction in a feature release.

       In this scenario, base1 from the base environment is applied to all minions. Additionally,
       dev2 from the dev environment is applied to minion2.

       If  default_top  is unset (or set to base, which happens to be the default), then qa1 from
       the qa environment will be applied to all minions. If default_top were set  to  dev,  then
       both qa1 and qa2 from the qa environment would be applied to all minions.

   Scenario 4 - No Environment Specified, top_file_merging_strategy is merge_all
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       In  this  scenario,  all  configured  states  in  all top files are applied. From the base
       environment, base1 would be applied to all minions,  with  base2  being  applied  only  to
       minion1.  From  the dev environment, dev1 would be applied to all minions, with dev2 being
       applied only to minion2.  Finally, from the qa environment, both the qa1  and  qa2  states
       will  be applied to all minions. Note that the qa1 states would not be applied twice, even
       though qa1 appears twice.

   SLS Template Variable Reference
       WARNING:
          In  the  3002  release  sls_path,  tplfile,  and  tpldir  have  had  some   significant
          improvements  which  have  the  potential  to  break states that rely on old and broken
          functionality. These fixes can be enabled by setting the  enable_slsvars_fixes  feature
          flag  to True in your minion's config file.  This functionality will become the default
          in the 3005 release.

              features:
                enable_slsvars_fixes: True

       The template engines available to sls files and file templates come loaded with  a  number
       of  context  variables. These variables contain information and functions to assist in the
       generation of templates.  See  each  variable  below  for  its  availability  --  not  all
       variables are available in all templating contexts.

   Salt
       The  salt variable is available to abstract the salt library functions. This variable is a
       python dictionary containing all of the functions available to the  running  salt  minion.
       It is available in all salt templates.

          {% for file in salt['cmd.run']('ls -1 /opt/to_remove').splitlines() %}
          /opt/to_remove/{{ file }}:
            file.absent
          {% endfor %}

   Opts
       The  opts  variable  abstracts the contents of the minion's configuration file directly to
       the template. The opts variable is a dictionary.  It is available in all templates.

          {{ opts['cachedir'] }}

       The config.get function also searches for values in the opts dictionary.

   Pillar
       The pillar dictionary can be referenced directly, and is available in all templates:

          {{ pillar['key'] }}

       Using the pillar.get function via the salt  variable  is  generally  recommended  since  a
       default  can  be  safely  set  in  the event that the value is not available in pillar and
       dictionaries can be traversed directly:

          {{ salt['pillar.get']('key', 'failover_value') }}
          {{ salt['pillar.get']('stuff:more:deeper') }}

   Grains
       The grains dictionary makes the minion's grains directly available, and  is  available  in
       all templates:

          {{ grains['os'] }}

       The grains.get function can be used to traverse deeper grains and set defaults:

          {{ salt['grains.get']('os') }}

   saltenv
       The  saltenv  variable  is  available  in only in sls files when gathering the sls from an
       environment.

          {{ saltenv }}

   SLS Only Variables
       The following are only available when processing sls files. If you  need  these  in  other
       templates, you can usually pass them in as template context.

   sls
       The sls variable contains the sls reference value, and is only available in the actual SLS
       file (not in any files referenced in that SLS). The sls reference value is the value  used
       to include the sls in top files or via the include option.

          {{ sls }}

   slspath
       The slspath variable contains the path to the directory of the current sls file. The value
       of slspath in files referenced in the current sls depends on  the  reference  method.  For
       jinja includes slspath is the path to the current directory of the file. For salt includes
       slspath is the path to the directory of the included file. If current sls file is in  root
       of the file roots, this will return ""

          {{ slspath }}

   sls_path
       A  version  of  slspath  with  underscores  as path separators instead of slashes.  So, if
       slspath is path/to/state then sls_path is path_to_state

          {{ sls_path }}

   slsdotpath
       A version of slspath with dots as path separators instead of slashes. So,  if  slspath  is
       path/to/state  then  slsdotpath  is  path.to.state. This is same as sls if sls points to a
       directory instead if a file.

          {{ slsdotpath }}

   slscolonpath
       A version of slspath with colons (:) as  path  separators  instead  of  slashes.   So,  if
       slspath is path/to/state then slscolonpath is path:to:state.

          {{ slscolonpath }}

   tplpath
       Full  path to sls template file being process on local disk. This is usually pointing to a
       copy of the sls file in a cache directory. This will be in OS specific format (Windows  vs
       POSIX). (It is probably best not to use this.)

          {{ tplpath }}

   tplfile
       Relative path to exact sls template file being processed relative to file roots.

          {{ tplfile }}

   tpldir
       Directory, relative to file roots, of the current sls file. If current sls file is in root
       of the file roots, this will return ".". This is usually identical to  slspath  except  in
       case of root-level sls, where this will return a ".".

       A Common use case for this variable is to generate relative salt urls like:

          my-file:
            file.managed:
              source: salt://{{ tpldir }}/files/my-template

   tpldot
       A  version  of  tpldir  with  dots as path separators instead of slashes. So, if tpldir is
       path/to/state then tpldot is path.to.state. NOTE: if tpldir is ., this will be set to ""

          {{ tpldot }}

   State Modules
       State Modules are the components that map to actual enforcement  and  management  of  Salt
       states.

   States are Easy to Write!
       State  Modules  should be easy to write and straightforward. The information passed to the
       SLS data structures will map directly to the states modules.

       Mapping the information from the SLS data is simple, this example should illustrate:

          /etc/salt/master: # maps to "name", unless a "name" argument is specified below
            file.managed: # maps to <filename>.<function> - e.g. "managed" in https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/salt/states/file.py
              - user: root # one of many options passed to the manage function
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - source: salt://salt/master

       Therefore this SLS data can be directly linked to a module, function, and arguments passed
       to that function.

       This does issue the burden, that function names, state names and function arguments should
       be very human  readable  inside  state  modules,  since  they  directly  define  the  user
       interface.

          Keyword Arguments

                 Salt  passes  a  number  of  keyword  arguments  to  states when rendering them,
                 including the  environment,  a  unique  identifier  for  the  state,  and  more.
                 Additionally,  keep  in  mind  that  the  requisites for a state are part of the
                 keyword arguments. Therefore,  if  you  need  to  iterate  through  the  keyword
                 arguments  in  a state, these must be considered and handled appropriately.  One
                 such example is in the pkgrepo.managed state, which needs to be able  to  handle
                 arbitrary  keyword  arguments  and  pass them to module execution functions.  An
                 example of how these keyword arguments can be handled can be found here.

   Best Practices
       A well-written state function will follow these steps:

       NOTE:
          This is an extremely simplified example. Feel free to browse the source code for Salt's
          state modules to see other examples.

       1. Set up the return dictionary and perform any necessary input validation (type checking,
          looking for use of mutually-exclusive arguments, etc.).

             def myfunc():
                 ret = {"name": name, "result": False, "changes": {}, "comment": ""}

                 if foo and bar:
                     ret["comment"] = "Only one of foo and bar is permitted"
                     return ret

       2. Check if changes need to be made. This  is  best  done  with  an  information-gathering
          function  in  an  accompanying  execution  module.  The state should be able to use the
          return from this function to tell whether or not the minion is already in  the  desired
          state.

             result = __salt__["modname.check"](name)

       3. If  step 2 found that the minion is already in the desired state, then exit immediately
          with a True result and without making any changes.

             def myfunc():
                 if result:
                     ret["result"] = True
                     ret["comment"] = "{0} is already installed".format(name)
                     return ret

       4. If step 2 found that changes do need to be made, then check to see  if  the  state  was
          being  run  in  test mode (i.e. with test=True). If so, then exit with a None result, a
          relevant comment, and (if possible) a changes entry describing what  changes  would  be
          made.

             def myfunc():
                 if __opts__["test"]:
                     ret["result"] = None
                     ret["comment"] = "{0} would be installed".format(name)
                     ret["changes"] = result
                     return ret

       5. Make  the  desired  changes.  This  should  again  be  done  using  a  function from an
          accompanying execution module. If the result of that function is  enough  to  tell  you
          whether  or not an error occurred, then you can exit with a False result and a relevant
          comment to explain what happened.

             result = __salt__["modname.install"](name)

       6. Perform the same check from step 2 again to confirm whether or not the minion is in the
          desired  state.  Just  as  in  step  2, this function should be able to tell you by its
          return data whether or not changes need to be made.

             ret["changes"] = __salt__["modname.check"](name)

          As you can see here, we are setting the changes key in the  return  dictionary  to  the
          result of the modname.check function (just as we did in step 4). The assumption here is
          that the information-gathering  function  will  return  a  dictionary  explaining  what
          changes need to be made. This may or may not fit your use case.

       7. Set the return data and return!

             def myfunc():
                 if ret["changes"]:
                     ret["comment"] = "{0} failed to install".format(name)
                 else:
                     ret["result"] = True
                     ret["comment"] = "{0} was installed".format(name)

                 return ret

   Using Custom State Modules
       Before  the  state module can be used, it must be distributed to minions. This can be done
       by placing them into salt://_states/. They can then be distributed manually to minions  by
       running saltutil.sync_states or saltutil.sync_all. Alternatively, when running a highstate
       custom types will automatically be synced.

       NOTE: Writing state modules with hyphens in the filename will cause issues with !pyobjects
       routines.  Best practice to stick to underscores.

       Any  custom  states  which have been synced to a minion, that are named the same as one of
       Salt's default set of states, will take the place of the default state with the same name.
       Note that a state module's name defaults to one based on its filename (i.e. foo.py becomes
       state module foo), but that its name can be overridden by using a __virtual__ function.

   Cross Calling Execution Modules from States
       As with Execution Modules, State Modules can also make use of the __salt__ and  __grains__
       data. See cross calling execution modules.

       It  is  important to note that the real work of state management should not be done in the
       state module unless it is needed. A good example is the pkg state module. This module does
       not do any package management work, it just calls the pkg execution module. This makes the
       pkg state module completely generic, which is why there is only one pkg state  module  and
       many backend pkg execution modules.

       On  the other hand some modules will require that the logic be placed in the state module,
       a good example of this is the file module. But in the vast majority of cases this  is  not
       the  best  approach, and writing specific execution modules to do the backend work will be
       the optimal solution.

   Cross Calling State Modules
       All of the Salt state modules are available to each  other  and  state  modules  can  call
       functions available in other state modules.

       The  variable  __states__  is  packed into the modules after they are loaded into the Salt
       minion.

       The __states__ variable is a Python  dictionary  containing  all  of  the  state  modules.
       Dictionary  keys  are strings representing the names of the modules and the values are the
       functions themselves.

       Salt state modules can be cross-called by accessing the value in the __states__ dict:

          ret = __states__["file.managed"](name="/tmp/myfile", source="salt://myfile")

       This code will call the managed function in the file state module and pass  the  arguments
       name and source to it.

   Return Data
       A State Module must return a dict containing the following keys/values:

       • name: The same value passed to the state as "name".

       • changes:  A  dict  describing the changes made. Each thing changed should be a key, with
         its value being another dict with keys called "old" and  "new"  containing  the  old/new
         values.  For example, the pkg state's changes dict has one key for each package changed,
         with the "old" and "new" keys in its sub-dict containing the old and new versions of the
         package.  For  example,  the  final  changes  dictionary  for  this  scenario would look
         something like this:

            ret["changes"].update({"my_pkg_name": {"old": "", "new": "my_pkg_name-1.0"}})

       • result: A tristate value.  True if the action was successful, False if it  was  not,  or
         None  if  the state was run in test mode, test=True, and changes would have been made if
         the state was not run in test mode.

                             ┌───────────────────┬───────────┬───────────────┐
                             │                   │ live mode │ test mode     │
                             ├───────────────────┼───────────┼───────────────┤
                             │no changes         │ TrueTrue          │
                             ├───────────────────┼───────────┼───────────────┤
                             │successful changes │ TrueNone          │
                             ├───────────────────┼───────────┼───────────────┤
                             │failed changes     │ FalseFalse or None │
                             └───────────────────┴───────────┴───────────────┘

         NOTE:
            Test mode does not predict if the changes will be successful or not,  and  hence  the
            result for pending changes is usually None.

            However,  if a state is going to fail and this can be determined in test mode without
            applying the change, False can be returned.

       • comment: A list of strings or a single string summarizing the result.  Note that support
         for  lists of strings is available as of Salt 2018.3.0.  Lists of strings will be joined
         with newlines to form the final comment; this is useful to allow multiple comments  from
         subparts  of a state.  Prefer to keep line lengths short (use multiple lines as needed),
         and end with punctuation (e.g. a period) to delimit multiple comments.

       NOTE:
          States should not return data which cannot be serialized such as frozensets.

   Sub State Runs
       Some states can return multiple state runs from an external engine.   State  modules  that
       extend  tools  like  Puppet,  Chef, Ansible, and idem can run multiple external states and
       then return their results individually in the "sub_state_run" portion of their  return  as
       long as their individual state runs are formatted like salt states with low and high data.

       For  example,  the idem state module can execute multiple idem states via it's runtime and
       report the status of all those runs by attaching them to  "sub_state_run"  in  it's  state
       return.  These sub_state_runs will be formatted and printed alongside other salt states.

       Example:

          state_return = {
              "name": None,  # The parent state name
              "result": None,  # The overall status of the external state engine run
              "comment": None,  # Comments on the overall external state engine run
              "changes": {},  # An empty dictionary, each sub state run has it's own changes to report
              "sub_state_run": [
                  {
                      "changes": {},  # A dictionary describing the changes made in the external state run
                      "result": None,  # The external state run name
                      "comment": None,  # Comment on the external state run
                      "duration": None,  # Optional, the duration in seconds of the external state run
                      "start_time": None,  # Optional, the timestamp of the external state run's start time
                      "low": {
                          "name": None,  # The name of the state from the external state run
                          "state": None,  # Name of the external state run
                          "__id__": None,  # ID of the external state run
                          "fun": None,  # The Function name from the external state run
                      },
                  }
              ],
          }

   Test State
       All  states  should  check  for  and  support test being passed in the options.  This will
       return data about what changes would occur if the state were actually run. An  example  of
       such a check could look like this:

          def myfunc():
              # Return comment of changes if test.
              if __opts__["test"]:
                  ret["result"] = None
                  ret["comment"] = "State Foo will execute with param {0}".format(bar)
                  return ret

       Make sure to test and return before performing any real actions on the minion.

       NOTE:
          Be  sure  to refer to the result table listed above and displaying any possible changes
          when writing support for test. Looking for changes in a state is essential to test=true
          functionality. If a state is predicted to have no changes when test=true (or test: true
          in a config file) is used, then the result of the final state should not be None.

   Watcher Function
       If the state being written should support the watch  requisite  then  a  watcher  function
       needs  to  be  declared.  The  watcher  function is called whenever the watch requisite is
       invoked and should be generic to the behavior of the state itself.

       The watcher function should accept all of the options  that  the  normal  state  functions
       accept (as they will be passed into the watcher function).

       A  watcher  function  typically  is  used to execute state specific reactive behavior, for
       instance, the watcher for the service module restarts  the  named  service  and  makes  it
       useful for the watcher to make the service react to changes in the environment.

       The  watcher  function  also  needs  to  return the same data that a normal state function
       returns.

   Mod_init Interface
       Some states need to execute something only once to ensure that an environment has been set
       up,  or  certain  conditions  global  to the state behavior can be predefined. This is the
       realm of the mod_init interface.

       A state module can have a function called mod_init which executes when the first state  of
       this  type  is called. This interface was created primarily to improve the pkg state. When
       packages are installed the package metadata needs to  be  refreshed,  but  refreshing  the
       package  metadata every time a package is installed is wasteful. The mod_init function for
       the pkg state sets a flag down so that the first, and only the first, package installation
       attempt  will refresh the package database (the package database can of course be manually
       called to refresh via the refresh option in the pkg state).

       The mod_init function must accept the Low State Data for the given executing state  as  an
       argument.   The   low   state   data   is  a  dict  and  can  be  seen  by  executing  the
       state.show_lowstate function. Then the mod_init function must return a bool. If the return
       value  is  True,  then  the mod_init function will not be executed again, meaning that the
       needed behavior has been set up. Otherwise, if the mod_init function returns  False,  then
       the function will be called the next time.

       A good example of the mod_init function is found in the pkg state module:

          def mod_init(low):
              """
              Refresh the package database here so that it only needs to happen once
              """
              if low["fun"] == "installed" or low["fun"] == "latest":
                  rtag = __gen_rtag()
                  if not os.path.exists(rtag):
                      open(rtag, "w+").write("")
                  return True
              else:
                  return False

       The  mod_init  function in the pkg state accepts the low state data as low and then checks
       to see if the function being called is going to install packages, if the function  is  not
       going to install packages then there is no need to refresh the package database. Therefore
       if the package database is prepared to refresh, then return True and the mod_init will not
       be  called the next time a pkg state is evaluated, otherwise return False and the mod_init
       will be called next time a pkg state is evaluated.

   Log Output
       You can call the logger from custom modules to write messages  to  the  minion  logs.  The
       following code snippet demonstrates writing log messages:

          import logging

          log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

          log.info("Here is Some Information")
          log.warning("You Should Not Do That")
          log.error("It Is Busted")

   Strings and Unicode
       A  state  module  author  should always assume that strings fed to the module have already
       decoded from strings into Unicode. In Python 2, these will be of  type  'Unicode'  and  in
       Python 3 they will be of type str. Calling from a state to other Salt sub-systems, such as
       execution modules should pass Unicode (or bytes if passing binary data). In the rare event
       that  a  state  needs  to  write  directly  to disk, Unicode should be encoded to a string
       immediately before writing to disk. An author may use  __salt_system_encoding__  to  learn
       what      the     encoding     type     of     the     system     is.     For     example,
       'my_string'.encode(__salt_system_encoding__').

   Full State Module Example
       The following is a simplistic example of a full state module and  function.   Remember  to
       call  out  to execution modules to perform all the real work. The state module should only
       perform "before" and "after" checks.

       1. Make a custom state module by putting the code into  a  file  at  the  following  path:
          /srv/salt/_states/my_custom_state.py.

       2. Distribute the custom state module to the minions:

             salt '*' saltutil.sync_states

       3. Write  a  new  state  to  use the custom state by making a new state file, for instance
          /srv/salt/my_custom_state.sls.

       4. Add the following SLS configuration to the file created in Step 3:

             human_friendly_state_id:        # An arbitrary state ID declaration.
               my_custom_state:              # The custom state module name.
                 - enforce_custom_thing      # The function in the custom state module.
                 - name: a_value             # Maps to the ``name`` parameter in the custom function.
                 - foo: Foo                  # Specify the required ``foo`` parameter.
                 - bar: False                # Override the default value for the ``bar`` parameter.

   Example state module
          import salt.exceptions

          def enforce_custom_thing(name, foo, bar=True):
              """
              Enforce the state of a custom thing

              This state module does a custom thing. It calls out to the execution module
              ``my_custom_module`` in order to check the current system and perform any

              new_state = __salt__["my_custom_module.change_state"](name, foo)

   State Management
       State management, also frequently called Software Configuration  Management  (SCM),  is  a
       program  that  puts  and  keeps  a system into a predetermined state. It installs software
       packages, starts or restarts services or puts configuration files  in  place  and  watches
       them for changes.

       Having  a state management system in place allows one to easily and reliably configure and
       manage a few servers or a few thousand servers. It allows configurations to be kept  under
       version control.

       Salt  States  is an extension of the Salt Modules that we discussed in the previous remote
       execution tutorial. Instead of calling one-off executions the state of  a  system  can  be
       easily defined and then enforced.

   Understanding the Salt State System Components
       The  Salt state system is comprised of a number of components. As a user, an understanding
       of the SLS and renderer systems are needed. But as a developer, an understanding  of  Salt
       states and how to write the states is needed as well.

       NOTE:
          States  are  compiled and executed only on minions that have been targeted.  To execute
          functions directly on masters, see runners.

   Salt SLS System
       The primary system used by the Salt state system is the SLS system. SLS  stands  for  SaLt
       State.

       The  Salt  States  are  files  which  contain  the information about how to configure Salt
       minions. The states are laid out in a directory tree and can be written in many  different
       formats.

       The  contents  of  the  files and the way they are laid out is intended to be as simple as
       possible while allowing for maximum flexibility. The files are  laid  out  in  states  and
       contains information about how the minion needs to be configured.

   SLS File Layout
       SLS files are laid out in the Salt file server.

       A simple layout can look like this:

          top.sls
          ssh.sls
          sshd_config
          users/init.sls
          users/admin.sls
          salt/master.sls
          web/init.sls

       The  top.sls  file  is  a  key component. The top.sls files is used to determine which SLS
       files should be applied to which minions.

       The rest of the files with the .sls extension in the above example are state files.

       Files without a .sls extensions are  seen  by  the  Salt  master  as  files  that  can  be
       downloaded to a Salt minion.

       States  are translated into dot notation. For example, the ssh.sls file is seen as the ssh
       state and the users/admin.sls file is seen as the users.admin state.

       Files named init.sls are translated to be the state name of the parent directory,  so  the
       web/init.sls file translates to the web state.

       In  Salt,  everything  is a file; there is no "magic translation" of files and file types.
       This means that a state file can be distributed to minions  just  like  a  plain  text  or
       binary file.

   SLS Files
       The  Salt  state  files are simple sets of data. Since SLS files are just data they can be
       represented in a number of different ways.

       The default format is YAML generated from a Jinja template. This  allows  for  the  states
       files to have all the language constructs of Python and the simplicity of YAML.

       State  files  can then be complicated Jinja templates that translate down to YAML, or just
       plain and simple YAML files.

       The State files are  simply  common  data  structures  such  as  dictionaries  and  lists,
       constructed using a templating language such as YAML.

       Here is an example of a Salt State:

          vim:
            pkg.installed: []

          salt:
            pkg.latest:
              - name: salt
            service.running:
              - names:
                - salt-master
                - salt-minion
              - require:
                - pkg: salt
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/salt/minion

          /etc/salt/minion:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://salt/minion
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - require:
                - pkg: salt

       This short stanza will ensure that vim is installed, Salt is installed and up to date, the
       salt-master and salt-minion daemons are running and the Salt minion configuration file  is
       in  place. It will also ensure everything is deployed in the right order and that the Salt
       services are restarted when the watched file updated.

   The Top File
       The top file controls the mapping between minions and the states which should  be  applied
       to them.

       The  top  file  specifies  which  minions  should  have  which SLS files applied and which
       environments they should draw those SLS files from.

       The top file works by specifying environments on the top-level.

       Each environment contains target  expressions  to  match  minions.  Finally,  each  target
       expression contains a list of Salt states to apply to matching minions:

          base:
            '*':
              - salt
              - users
              - users.admin
            'saltmaster.*':
              - match: pcre
              - salt.master

       This above example uses the base environment which is built into the default Salt setup.

       The  base  environment  has target expressions. The first one matches all minions, and the
       SLS files below it apply to all minions.

       The second expression is a regular expression that will  match  all  minions  with  an  ID
       matching  saltmaster.*  and specifies that for those minions, the salt.master state should
       be applied.

       IMPORTANT:
          Since version 2014.7.0, the default matcher (when one is not explicitly defined  as  in
          the second expression in the above example) is the compound matcher. Since this matcher
          parses individual words in the expression, minion IDs containing spaces will not  match
          properly  using this matcher. Therefore, if your target expression is designed to match
          a minion ID containing spaces, it will be necessary to specify a different  match  type
          (such as glob). For example:

              base:
                'test minion':
                  - match: glob
                  - foo
                  - bar
                  - baz

       A full table of match types available in the top file can be found here.

   Reloading Modules
       Some  Salt  states  require that specific packages be installed in order for the module to
       load. As an example the pip state module requires the pip  package  for  proper  name  and
       version parsing.

       In  most  of  the common cases, Salt is clever enough to transparently reload the modules.
       For example, if you install a package, Salt reloads modules because some other  module  or
       state might require just that package which was installed.

       On  some  edge-cases  salt  might  need  to  be  told  to reload the modules. Consider the
       following state file which we'll call pep8.sls:

          python-pip:
            cmd.run:
              - name: |
                  easy_install --script-dir=/usr/bin -U pip
              - cwd: /

          pep8:
            pip.installed:
              - require:
                - cmd: python-pip

       The above example installs pip using easy_install from setuptools and installs pep8  using
       pip,  which, as told earlier, requires pip to be installed system-wide. Let's execute this
       state:

          salt-call state.apply pep8

       The execution output would be something like:

          ----------
              State: - pip
              Name:      pep8
              Function:  installed
                  Result:    False
                  Comment:   State pip.installed found in sls pep8 is unavailable

                  Changes:

          Summary
          ------------
          Succeeded: 1
          Failed:    1
          ------------
          Total:     2

       If we executed the state again the output would be:

          ----------
              State: - pip
              Name:      pep8
              Function:  installed
                  Result:    True
                  Comment:   Package was successfully installed
                  Changes:   pep8==1.4.6: Installed

          Summary
          ------------
          Succeeded: 2
          Failed:    0
          ------------
          Total:     2

       Since we installed pip using cmd, Salt has no way to know that a system-wide  package  was
       installed.

       On  the second execution, since the required pip package was installed, the state executed
       correctly.

       NOTE:
          Salt does not reload modules on every state run because doing  so  would  greatly  slow
          down state execution.

       So how do we solve this edge-case? reload_modules!

       reload_modules is a boolean option recognized by salt on all available states which forces
       salt to reload its modules once a given state finishes.

       The modified state file would now be:

          python-pip:
            cmd.run:
              - name: |
                  easy_install --script-dir=/usr/bin -U pip
              - cwd: /
              - reload_modules: true

          pep8:
            pip.installed:
              - require:
                - cmd: python-pip

       Let's run it, once:

          salt-call state.apply pep8

       The output is:

          ----------
              State: - pip
              Name:      pep8
              Function:  installed
                  Result:    True
                  Comment:   Package was successfully installed
                  Changes:   pep8==1.4.6: Installed

          Summary
          ------------
          Succeeded: 2
          Failed:    0
          ------------
          Total:     2

RETURN CODES

       When the salt or salt-call CLI commands result in an error, the command will exit  with  a
       return code of 1. Error cases consist of the following:

       1. Errors are encountered while running States, or any state returns a False result

       2. Any exception is raised

       3. In  the case of remote-execution functions, when the return data is a Python dictionary
          with a key named either result or success, which has a value of False

   Retcode Passthrough
       In addition to the cases listed above, if a state  or  remote-execution  function  sets  a
       nonzero value in the retcode key of the __context__ dictionary, the command will exit with
       a return code of 1. For those  developing  custom  states  and  execution  modules,  using
       __context__['retcode'] can be a useful way of signaling that an error has occurred:

          if something_went_wrong:
              __context__["retcode"] = 42

       This  is  actually  how  states  signal  that  they have failed. Different cases result in
       different codes being set in the __context__ dictionary:

       • 1 is set when any error is encountered in the state compiler (missing SLS file, etc.)

       • 2 is set when any state returns a False result

       • 5 is set when Pillar data fails to be compiled before running the state(s)

       When the --retcode-passthrough flag is used with salt-call, then salt-call will exit  with
       whichever  retcode was set in the __context__ dictionary, rather than the default behavior
       which simply exits with 1 for any error condition.

UTILITY MODULES - CODE REUSE IN CUSTOM MODULES

       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Changed in version 2016.11.0: These can now be synced to the  Master  for  use  in  custom
       Runners, and in custom execution modules called within Pillar SLS files.

       When  extending Salt by writing custom (state modules), execution modules, etc., sometimes
       there is a need for a function to be available to  more  than  just  one  kind  of  custom
       module.  For  these  cases, Salt supports what are called "utility modules". These modules
       are like normal execution modules, but  instead  of  being  invoked  in  Salt  code  using
       __salt__, the __utils__ prefix is used instead.

       For example, assuming the following simple utility module, saved to salt://_utils/foo.py

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
          """
          My utils module
          ---------------

          This module contains common functions for use in my other custom types.
          """

          def bar():
              return "baz"

       Once  synced to a minion, this function would be available to other custom Salt types like
       so:

          # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
          """
          My awesome execution module
          ---------------------------

       Utility modules, like any other kind  of  Salt  extension,  support  using  a  __virtual__
       function  to  conditionally  load  them,  or  load  them  under a different namespace. For
       instance, if the utility module above were named  salt://_utils/mymodule.py  it  could  be

       These are, of course, contrived examples, but they  should  serve  to  show  some  of  the
       possibilities  opened up by writing utility modules. Keep in mind though that states still
       have access to all of the execution modules, so it is not necessary  to  write  a  utility
       module  to make a function available to both a state and an execution module. One good use
       case for utility modules is one where it is necessary to invoke the same function  from  a
       custom outputter/returner, as well as an execution module.

       Utility modules placed in salt://_utils/ will be synced to the minions when a highstate is
       run, as well as when any of the following Salt functions are called:

       • saltutil.sync_utilssaltutil.sync_all

       As of the 2019.2.0 release, as well as 2017.7.7 and 2018.3.2 in their  respective  release
       cycles,  the  sync argument to state.apply/state.sls can be used to sync custom types when
       running individual SLS files.

       To sync to the Master, use either of the following:

       • saltutil.sync_utilssaltutil.sync_all

EVENTS & REACTOR

   Event System
       The Salt Event System is used to fire off events  enabling  third  party  applications  or
       external   processes  to  react  to  behavior  within  Salt.   The  event  system  uses  a
       publish-subscribe pattern, otherwise know as pub/sub.

   Event Bus
       The event system is comprised of a two primary components, which make up the concept of an
       Event Bus:

       • The event sockets, which publish events

       • The event library, which can listen to events and send events into the salt system

       Events are published onto the event bus and event bus subscribers listen for the published
       events.

       The event bus is used for both inter-process communication as well as network transport in
       Salt. Inter-process communication is provided through UNIX domain sockets (UDX).

       The Salt Master and each Salt Minion has their own event bus.

   Event types
   Salt Master Events
       These events are fired on the Salt Master event bus. This list is not comprehensive.

   Authentication events
       salt/auth
              Fired when a minion performs an authentication check with the master.

              Variablesid -- The minion ID.

                     • act -- The current status of the minion key: accept, pend, reject.

                     • pub -- The minion public key.

              NOTE:
                 Minions  fire  auth  events  on  fairly  regular  basis for a number of reasons.
                 Writing reactors to respond to  events  through  the  auth  cycle  can  lead  to
                 infinite  reactor  event  loops (minion tries to auth, reactor responds by doing
                 something that generates another auth event, minion  sends  auth  event,  etc.).
                 Consider  reacting  to  salt/key  or  salt/minion/<MID>/start or firing a custom
                 event tag instead.

   Start events
       salt/minion/<MID>/start
              Fired every time a minion connects to the Salt master.

              Variables
                     id -- The minion ID.

   Key events
       salt/key
              Fired when accepting and rejecting minions keys on the Salt master.   These  happen
              as a result of actions undertaken by the salt-key command.

              Variablesid -- The minion ID.

                     • act -- The new status of the minion key: accept, delete,

       WARNING:
          If a master is in auto_accept mode, salt/key events will not be fired when the keys are
          accepted.  In addition, pre-seeding keys (like happens  through  Salt-Cloud)  will  not
          cause firing of these events.

   Job events
       salt/job/<JID>/new
              Fired as a new job is sent out to minions.

              Variablesjid -- The job ID.

                     • tgt -- The target of the job: *, a minion ID, G@os_family:RedHat, etc.

                     • tgt_type -- The type of targeting used: glob, grain, compound, etc.

                     • fun  --  The function to run on minions: test.version, network.interfaces,
                       etc.

                     • arg -- A list of arguments to pass to the function that will be called.

                     • minions -- A list of minion IDs that Salt expects  will  return  data  for
                       this job.

                     • user  --  The  name  of the user that ran the command as defined in Salt's
                       Publisher ACL or external auth.

       salt/job/<JID>/ret/<MID>
              Fired each time a minion returns data for a job.

              Variablesid -- The minion ID.

                     • jid -- The job ID.

                     • retcode -- The return code for the job.

                     • fun -- The function the minion ran. E.g., test.version.

                     • return -- The data returned from the execution module.

       salt/job/<JID>/prog/<MID>/<RUN NUM>
              Fired each time a each function in a state run completes execution. Must be enabled
              using the state_events option.

              Variablesdata -- The data returned from the state module function.

                     • id -- The minion ID.

                     • jid -- The job ID.

   Runner Events
       salt/run/<JID>/new
              Fired as a runner begins execution

              Variablesjid -- The job ID.

                     • fun -- The name of the runner function, with runner. prepended to it (e.g.
                       runner.jobs.lookup_jid)

                     • fun_args  --  The  arguments  passed  to   the   runner   function   (e.g.
                       ['20160829225914848058'])

                     • user -- The user who executed the runner (e.g. root)

                     • fun_args  --  The  arguments  passed  to   the   runner   function   (e.g.
                       ['20160829225914848058'])

                     • return -- The data returned by the runner function

       salt/run/<JID>/args
              New in version 2016.11.0.

              Fired by the state.orchestrate runner

              Variablesname  -- The ID declaration for the orchestration job (i.e. the line above

                     • type -- The type of orchestration job being run (e.g. state)

                     • tgt -- The target expression (e.g. *). Included  for  state  and  function
                       types only.

                     • args  --  The  args  passed  to the orchestration job. Note: for state and
                       function types, also includes a tgt_type value which shows  what  kind  of
                       match  (glob, pcre, etc.) was used.  This value was named expr_form in the
                       2016.11 release cycle but has been renamed to  tgt_type  in  2017.7.0  for
                       consistency with other events.

   Presence Events
       salt/presence/present
              Events  fired  on a regular interval about currently connected, newly connected, or
              recently disconnected minions. Requires the presence_events setting to be enabled.

              Variables
                     present -- A list of minions  that  are  currently  connected  to  the  Salt
                     master.

       salt/presence/change
              Fired when the Presence system detects new minions connect or disconnect.

              Variablesnew  --  A  list  of  minions  that have connected since the last presence
                       event.

                     • lost -- A list of minions that have disconnected since the  last  presence
                       event.

   Cloud Events
       Unlike  other  Master  events, salt-cloud events are not fired on behalf of a Salt Minion.
       Instead, salt-cloud events are fired on behalf of a VM. This is because  the  minion-to-be
       may not yet exist to fire events to or also may have been destroyed.

       This behavior is reflected by the name variable in the event data for salt-cloud events as
       compared to the id variable for Salt Minion-triggered events.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/creating
              Fired when salt-cloud starts the VM creation process.

              Variablesname -- the name of the VM being created.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/deploying
              Fired when the VM is available and salt-cloud begins deploying Salt to the new VM.

              Variablesname -- the name of the VM being created.

                     • event -- description of the event.

                       make_minion, minion_conf,  name,  parallel,  preseed_minion_keys,  script,
                       script_args,  script_env,  sock_dir,  start_action,  sudo,  tmp_dir,  tty,
                       username

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/requesting

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/tagging
              Fired when salt-cloud tags a new instance.

              Variablesevent -- description of the event.

                     • tags -- tags being set on the new instance.

       salt/cloud/<VM NAME>/waiting_for_ssh
              Fired while the salt-cloud deploy process is waiting for ssh to become available on
              the new instance.

              Variablesevent -- description of the event.

                     • ip_address -- IP address of the new instance.

   Listening for Events
       Salt's event system is used heavily within Salt  and  it  is  also  written  to  integrate
       heavily with existing tooling and scripts. There is a variety of ways to consume it.

   From the CLI
       The quickest way to watch the event bus is by calling the state.event runner:

          salt-run state.event pretty=True

       That  runner  is  designed  to  interact  with the event bus from external tools and shell
       scripts. See the documentation for more examples.

   Remotely via the REST API
       Salt's event bus can be consumed salt.netapi.rest_cherrypy.app.Events as  an  HTTP  stream
       from external tools or services.

          curl -SsNk https://salt-api.example.com:8000/events?token=05A3

   From Python
       Python  scripts can access the event bus only as the same system user that Salt is running
       as.

       The event system is accessed via the event library and can only be accessed  by  the  same
       system  user  that  Salt is running as. To listen to events a SaltEvent object needs to be
       created and then the get_event function needs to be run. The  SaltEvent  object  needs  to
       know  the  location  that the Salt Unix sockets are kept. In the configuration this is the
       sock_dir option. The sock_dir option defaults to "/var/run/salt/master" on most systems.

       The following code will check for a single event:

          import salt.config
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.client_config("/etc/salt/master")

          event = salt.utils.event.get_event(
              "master", sock_dir=opts["sock_dir"], transport=opts["transport"], opts=opts
          )

          data = event.get_event()

       Events will also use a "tag". Tags allow for events to be filtered by prefix.  By  default
       all  events will be returned. If only authentication events are desired, then pass the tag
       "salt/auth".

       The get_event method has a default poll time assigned of 5 seconds. To  change  this  time
       set the "wait" option.

       The  following  example  will  only  listen  for  auth events and will wait for 10 seconds
       instead of the default 5.

          data = event.get_event(wait=10, tag="salt/auth")

       To retrieve the tag as well as the event data, pass full=True:

          evdata = event.get_event(wait=10, tag="salt/job", full=True)

          tag, data = evdata["tag"], evdata["data"]

       Instead of looking for a single event, the iter_events  method  can  be  used  to  make  a
       generator which will continually yield salt events.

       The iter_events method also accepts a tag but not a wait time:

          for data in event.iter_events(tag="salt/auth"):
              print(data)

       And  finally  event  tags  can  be  globbed, such as they can be in the Reactor, using the
       fnmatch library.

          import fnmatch

          import salt.config
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.client_config("/etc/salt/master")

          sevent = salt.utils.event.get_event(
              "master", sock_dir=opts["sock_dir"], transport=opts["transport"], opts=opts
          )

          while True:
              ret = sevent.get_event(full=True)
              if ret is None:
                  continue

              if fnmatch.fnmatch(ret["tag"], "salt/job/*/ret/*"):
                  do_something_with_job_return(ret["data"])

   Firing Events
       It is possible to fire events on either the minion's local bus or to fire events  intended
       for the master.

       To  fire  a  local event from the minion on the command line call the event.fire execution
       function:

          salt-call event.fire '{"data": "message to be sent in the event"}' 'tag'

       To fire an event to be sent up to the master from the minion call the event.send execution
       function. Remember YAML can be used at the CLI in function arguments:

          salt-call event.send 'myco/mytag/success' '{success: True, message: "It works!"}'

       If a process is listening on the minion, it may be useful for a user on the master to fire
       an event to it. An example of listening local events on a minion on a non-Windows system:

          # Job on minion
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.minion_config("/etc/salt/minion")
          event = salt.utils.event.MinionEvent(opts)

          for evdata in event.iter_events(match_type="regex", tag="custom/.*"):
              # do your processing here...
              ...

       And an example of listening local events on a Windows system:

          # Job on minion
          import salt.utils.event

          opts = salt.config.minion_config(salt.minion.DEFAULT_MINION_OPTS)
          event = salt.utils.event.MinionEvent(opts)

          for evdata in event.iter_events(match_type="regex", tag="custom/.*"):
              # do your processing here...
              ...

          salt minionname event.fire '{"data": "message for the minion"}' 'customtag/african/unladen'

   Firing Events from Python
   From Salt execution modules
       Events can be very useful when writing execution  modules,  in  order  to  inform  various
       processes on the master when a certain task has taken place. This is easily done using the
       normal cross-calling syntax:

          # /srv/salt/_modules/my_custom_module.py

          def do_something():
              """
              Do something and fire an event to the master when finished

              CLI Example::

                  salt '*' my_custom_module:do_something
              """
              # do something!
              __salt__["event.send"](
                  "myco/my_custom_module/finished",
                  {"finished": True, "message": "The something is finished!"},
              )

   From Custom Python Scripts
       Firing events from custom Python code is quite simple and mirrors how it is  done  at  the
       CLI:

          import salt.client

          caller = salt.client.Caller()

          ret = caller.cmd(
              "event.send", "myco/event/success", {"success": True, "message": "It works!"}
          )

          if not ret:
              # the event could not be sent, process the error here
              ...

   Beacons
       Beacons let you use the Salt event system to monitor non-Salt processes. The beacon system
       allows the minion to hook into a variety of system processes and continually monitor these
       processes.  When  monitored  activity  occurs in a system process, an event is sent on the
       Salt event bus that can be used to trigger a reactor.

       Salt beacons can currently monitor and  send  Salt  events  for  many  system  activities,
       including:

       • file system changes

       • system load

       • service status

       • shell activity, such as user login

       • network and disk usage

       See beacon modules for a current list.

       NOTE:
          Salt  beacons  are  an  event  generation  mechanism. Beacons leverage the Salt reactor
          system to make changes when beacon events occur.

   Configuring Beacons
       Salt beacons do not require any changes to the system components that are being monitored,
       everything is configured using Salt.

       Beacons are typically enabled by placing a beacons: top level block in /etc/salt/minion or
       any file in /etc/salt/minion.d/ such  as  /etc/salt/minion.d/beacons.conf  or  add  it  to
       pillars for that minion:

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
                  /opt: {}

       The beacon system, like many others in Salt, can also be configured via the minion pillar,
       grains, or local config file.

       NOTE:
          The inotify beacon only works on OSes that have inotify kernel support.  Currently this
          excludes FreeBSD, macOS, and Windows.

       All beacon configuration is done using list based configuration.

       New in version Neon.

       Multiple  copies  of  a  particular  Salt  beacon  can  be  configured  by  including  the
       beacon_module parameter in the beacon configuration.

          beacons:
            watch_important_file:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
              - beacon_module: inotify
            watch_another_file:
              - files:
                  /etc/another_file: {}
              - beacon_module: inotify

   Beacon Monitoring Interval
       Beacons monitor on a 1-second interval by default. To set a different interval, provide an
       interval argument to a beacon. The following beacons run on 5- and 10-second intervals:

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
                  /opt: {}
              - interval: 5
              - disable_during_state_run: True
            load:
              - averages:
                  1m:
                    - 0.0
                    - 2.0
                  5m:
                    - 0.0
                    - 1.5
                  15m:
                    - 0.1
                    - 1.0
              - interval: 10

   Avoiding Event Loops
       It is important to carefully consider the possibility of creating a loop between a reactor
       and a beacon. For example, one might set up a beacon which monitors whether a file is read
       which in turn fires a reactor to run a state which in turn reads the file and re-fires the
       beacon.

       To avoid these types of scenarios, the disable_during_state_run argument may be set. If  a
       state  run  is  in  progress, the beacon will not be run on its regular interval until the
       minion detects that the state run has completed, at which point the normal beacon interval
       will resume.

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file: {}
              - disable_during_state_run: True

       NOTE:
          For  beacon  writers:  If you need extra stuff to happen, like closing file handles for
          the disable_during_state_run to actually work, you can add a close()  function  to  the
          beacon to run those extra things. See the inotify beacon.

   Beacon Example
       This  example  demonstrates  configuring the inotify beacon to monitor a file for changes,
       and then restores the file to its original contents if a change was made.

       NOTE:
          The inotify beacon requires Pyinotify on the minion, install  it  using  salt  myminion
          pkg.install python-inotify.

   Create Watched File
       Create the file named /etc/important_file and add some simple content:

          important_config: True

   Add Beacon Configs to Minion
       On the Salt minion, add the following configuration to /etc/salt/minion.d/beacons.conf:

          beacons:
            inotify:
              - files:
                  /etc/important_file:
                    mask:
                      - modify
              - disable_during_state_run: True

       Save  the  configuration  file and restart the minion service. The beacon is now set up to
       notify salt upon modifications made to the file.

       NOTE:
          The  disable_during_state_run:  True  parameter  prevents  the  inotify   beacon   from
          generating reactor events due to salt itself modifying the file.

   View Events on the Master
       On your Salt master, start the event runner using the following command:

          salt-run state.event pretty=true

       This  runner  displays events as they are received by the master on the Salt event bus. To
       test the beacon you set up in the previous  section,  make  and  save  a  modification  to
       /etc/important_file. You'll see an event similar to the following on the event bus:

          {
           "_stamp": "2015-09-09T15:59:37.972753",
           "data": {
               "change": "IN_IGNORED",
               "id": "larry",
               "path": "/etc/important_file"
           },
           "tag": "salt/beacon/larry/inotify//etc/important_file"
          }

       This  indicates  that the event is being captured and sent correctly. Now you can create a
       reactor to take action when this event occurs.

   Create a Reactor
       This reactor reverts the file named /etc/important_file to the contents provided  by  salt
       each time it is modified.

   Reactor SLS
       On your Salt master, create a file named /srv/reactor/revert.sls.

       NOTE:
          If the /srv/reactor directory doesn't exist, create it.

              mkdir -p /srv/reactor

       Add the following to /srv/reactor/revert.sls:

          revert-file:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: {{ data['data']['id'] }}
              - arg:
                - maintain_important_file

       NOTE:
          In  addition  to  setting  disable_during_state_run:  True  for an inotify beacon whose
          reaction is to modify the watched file, it is important to ensure the state applied  is
          also idempotent.

       NOTE:
          The  expression  {{  data['data']['id'] }} is correct as it matches the event structure
          shown above.

   State SLS
       Create the state sls file referenced by the reactor sls file.  This  state  file  will  be
       located at /srv/salt/maintain_important_file.sls.

          important_file:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/important_file
              - contents: |
                  important_config: True

   Master Config
       Configure  the  master  to  map  the  inotify  beacon  event  to  the  revert  reaction in
       /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf:

          reactor:
            - salt/beacon/*/inotify//etc/important_file:
              - /srv/reactor/revert.sls

       NOTE:
          You can have only one top level reactor section, so if one  already  exists,  add  this
          code to the existing section. See here to learn more about reactor SLS syntax.

   Start the Salt Master in Debug Mode
       To help with troubleshooting, start the Salt master in debug mode:

          service salt-master stop
          salt-master -l debug

       When  debug  logging  is enabled, event and reactor data are displayed so you can discover
       syntax and other issues.

   Trigger the Reactor
       On your minion, make and save another change to /etc/important_file. On the  Salt  master,
       you'll see debug messages that indicate the event was received and the state.apply job was
       sent. When you inspect the file on the minion, you'll see that the file contents have been
       restored to important_config: True.

       All  beacons  are  configured  using  a  similar process of enabling the beacon, writing a
       reactor SLS (and state SLS if needed), and mapping a beacon event to the reactor SLS.

   Writing Beacon Plugins
       Beacon plugins use the standard Salt loader system, meaning that many  of  the  constructs
       from other plugin systems holds true, such as the __virtual__ function.

       The  important  function  in  the Beacon Plugin is the beacon function. When the beacon is
       configured to run, this function will be executed repeatedly by  the  minion.  The  beacon
       function  therefore cannot block and should be as lightweight as possible. The beacon also
       must return a list of dicts, each dict in the list will be translated into an event on the
       master.

       Beacons  may  also  choose  to  implement  a  validate  function  which  takes  the beacon
       configuration as an argument and ensures that  it  is  valid  prior  to  continuing.  This
       function is called automatically by the Salt loader when a beacon is loaded.

       Please see the inotify beacon as an example.

   The beacon Function
       The  beacons  system will look for a function named beacon in the module. If this function
       is not present then the beacon will not be fired. This function is  called  on  a  regular
       basis  and defaults to being called on every iteration of the minion, which can be tens to
       hundreds of times a second. This means that the beacon function cannot  block  and  should
       not be CPU or IO intensive.

       The  beacon  function  will  be  passed in the configuration for the executed beacon. This
       makes it easy to establish a flexible configuration for each called beacon. This  is  also
       the  preferred way to ingest the beacon's configuration as it allows for the configuration
       to be dynamically updated while the minion is running by configuring  the  beacon  in  the
       minion's pillar.

   The Beacon Return
       The information returned from the beacon is expected to follow a predefined structure. The
       returned value needs to be a  list  of  dictionaries  (standard  python  dictionaries  are
       preferred, no ordered dicts are needed).

       The  dictionaries  represent  individual events to be fired on the minion and master event
       buses. Each dict is a single event. The dict can contain any arbitrary keys but the  'tag'
       key will be extracted and added to the tag of the fired event.

       The return data structure would look something like this:

          [{"changes": ["/foo/bar"], "tag": "foo"}, {"changes": ["/foo/baz"], "tag": "bar"}]

   Calling Execution Modules
       Execution  modules are still the preferred location for all work and system interaction to
       happen in Salt. For this reason the __salt__ variable is available inside the beacon.

       Please be careful when calling functions in __salt__, while this is the preferred means of
       executing  complicated routines in Salt not all of the execution modules have been written
       with beacons in mind. Watch out for execution modules that may be CPU intense or IO bound.
       Please feel free to add new execution modules and functions to back specific beacons.

   Distributing Custom Beacons
       Custom  beacons  can  be  distributed  to  minions  via  the standard methods, see Modular
       Systems.

   Reactor System
       Salt's Reactor system gives Salt the ability to trigger actions in response to  an  event.
       It  is  a  simple interface to watching Salt's event bus for event tags that match a given
       pattern and then running one or more commands in response.

       This system binds sls files to event tags on the  master.  These  sls  files  then  define
       reactions.  This  means  that  the reactor system has two parts. First, the reactor option
       needs to be set in the master configuration file.  The reactor  option  allows  for  event
       tags  to  be associated with sls reaction files. Second, these reaction files use highdata
       (like the state system) to define reactions to be executed.

   Event System
       A basic understanding of the event system is required to understand reactors.   The  event
       system  is a local ZeroMQ PUB interface which fires salt events. This event bus is an open
       system used for sending information notifying Salt and other systems about operations.

       The event system fires events with a very specific criteria. Every event has a tag.  Event
       tags  allow for fast top-level filtering of events. In addition to the tag, each event has
       a data structure. This data structure is a dictionary, which  contains  information  about
       the event.

   Mapping Events to Reactor SLS Files
       Reactor  SLS  files  and  event tags are associated in the master config file.  By default
       this is /etc/salt/master, or /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf.

       New in version 2014.7.0: Added Reactor support for salt:// file paths.

       In the master config section 'reactor:' is a list of event tags to  be  matched  and  each
       event tag has a list of reactor SLS files to be run.

          reactor:                            # Master config section "reactor"

            - 'salt/minion/*/start':          # Match tag "salt/minion/*/start"
              - /srv/reactor/start.sls        # Things to do when a minion starts
              - /srv/reactor/monitor.sls      # Other things to do

            - 'salt/cloud/*/destroyed':       # Globs can be used to match tags
              - /srv/reactor/destroy/*.sls    # Globs can be used to match file names

            - 'myco/custom/event/tag':        # React to custom event tags
              - salt://reactor/mycustom.sls   # Reactor files can come from the salt fileserver

       NOTE:
          In  the  above  example, salt://reactor/mycustom.sls refers to the base environment. To
          pull this  file  from  a  different  environment,  use  the  querystring  syntax  (e.g.
          salt://reactor/mycustom.sls?saltenv=reactor).

       Reactor  SLS  files  are similar to State and Pillar SLS files. They are by default YAML +
       Jinja templates and are passed familiar context variables.  Click here for  more  detailed
       information on the variables available in Jinja templating.

       Here is the SLS for a simple reaction:

          {% if data['id'] == 'mysql1' %}
          highstate_run:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: mysql1
          {% endif %}

       This  simple reactor file uses Jinja to further refine the reaction to be made.  If the id
       in the event data is mysql1 (in other words, if the name of the minion is mysql1) then the
       following  reaction  is  defined.  The same data structure and compiler used for the state
       system is used for the reactor system. The only difference is that the data is matched  up
       to the salt command API and the runner system.  In this example, a command is published to
       the mysql1 minion with a function of state.apply, which performs a highstate. Similarly, a
       runner can be called:

          {% if data['data']['custom_var'] == 'runit' %}
          call_runit_orch:
            runner.state.orchestrate:
              - args:
                - mods: orchestrate.runit
          {% endif %}

       This  example  will  execute  the state.orchestrate runner and intiate an execution of the
       runit orchestrator located at /srv/salt/orchestrate/runit.sls.

       NOTE:
          The  local  and caller reaction types will likely be renamed in a future release. These
          reaction types were  named  after  Salt's  internal  client  interfaces,  and  are  not
          intuitively  named.  Both  local and caller will continue to work in Reactor SLS files,
          however.

   Where to Put Reactor SLS Files
       Reactor SLS files can come both from files local to the master, and from any  of  backends
       enabled  via the fileserver_backend config option. Files placed in the Salt fileserver can
       be referenced using a salt:// URL, just like they can in State SLS files.

       It is recommended to place reactor and orchestrator SLS files in their own  uniquely-named
       subdirectories  such  as  orch/,  orchestrate/,  react/,  reactor/,  etc.,  to  keep  them
       organized.

   Writing Reactor SLS
       The different reaction types were developed separately and have historically had different
       methods  for  passing  arguments.  For  the  2017.7.2 release a new, unified configuration
       schema has been introduced, which applies to all reaction types.

       The old config schema will continue to be supported, and there is no plan to deprecate  it
       at this time.

   Local Reactions
       A local reaction runs a remote-execution function on the targeted minions.

       The  old  config  schema  required  the  positional  and  keyword arguments to be manually
       separated by the  user  under  arg  and  kwarg  parameters.  However,  this  is  not  very
       user-friendly,  as  it forces the user to distinguish which type of argument is which, and
       make sure that positional arguments are ordered properly. Therefore, the new config schema
       is recommended if the master is running a supported release.

       The below two examples are equivalent:

              ┌─────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────┐

       This reaction would be equivalent to running the following Salt command:

          salt -G 'kernel:Linux' state.single pkg.installed name=zsh fromrepo=updates

       NOTE:
          Any  other parameters in the LocalClient().cmd_async() method can be passed at the same
          indentation level as tgt.

       NOTE:
          tgt_type is only required when the target expression defined in tgt uses a target  type
          other than a minion ID glob.

          The tgt_type argument was named expr_form in releases prior to 2017.7.0.

   Runner Reactions
       Runner reactions execute runner functions locally on the master.

       The old config schema called for passing arguments to the reaction directly under the name
       of the runner function. However,  this  can  cause  unpredictable  interactions  with  the
       Reactor  system's  internal  arguments. It is also possible to pass positional and keyword
       arguments under arg and kwarg like above in local reactions, but as noted  above  this  is
       not  very  user-friendly. Therefore, the new config schema is recommended if the master is
       running a supported release.

       The below two examples are equivalent:

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
├────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

       Assuming that the event tag is foo, and the data passed to the event  is  {'bar':  'baz'},
       then this reaction is equivalent to running the following Salt command:

          salt-run state.orchestrate mods=orchestrate.deploy_app pillar='{"event_tag": "foo", "event_data": {"bar": "baz"}}'

   Wheel Reactions
       Wheel reactions run wheel functions locally on the master.

       Like  runner reactions, the old config schema called for wheel reactions to have arguments
       passed directly under the name of the wheel function (or in arg or kwarg parameters).

       The below two examples are equivalent:

         ┌──────────────────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────────────┐

         └──────────────────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────────────┘

   Caller Reactions
       Caller reactions run remote-execution functions on a minion daemon's  Reactor  system.  To
       run a Reactor on the minion, it is necessary to configure the Reactor Engine in the minion
       config file, and then setup your watched events in a reactor section in the minion  config
       file as well.

       NOTE:
          Masterless Minions use this Reactor

          This is the only way to run the Reactor if you use masterless minions.

       Both  the  old  and  new config schemas involve passing arguments under an args parameter.
       However, the old config schema only supports positional  arguments.   Therefore,  the  new
       config schema is recommended if the masterless minion is running a supported release.

       The below two examples are equivalent:

                  ┌─────────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────┐

                  └─────────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────┘

       This reaction is equivalent to running the following Salt command:

          salt-call file.touch name=/tmp/foo

   Best Practices for Writing Reactor SLS Files
       The Reactor works as follows:

       1. The Salt Reactor watches Salt's event bus for new events.

       2. Each event's tag is matched against the list of event tags configured under the reactor
          section in the Salt Master config.

       3. The SLS files for any matches are rendered into a data structure that represents one or
          more function calls.

       4. That data structure is given to a pool of worker threads for execution.

       Matching  and  rendering  Reactor  SLS files is done sequentially in a single process. For
       that reason, reactor SLS files should contain few individual reactions  (one,  if  at  all
       possible).  Also, keep in mind that reactions are fired asynchronously (with the exception
       of caller) and do not support requisites.

       Complex Jinja templating that calls out to slow remote-execution or runner functions slows
       down  the  rendering  and  causes  other  reactions to pile up behind the current one. The
       worker pool is designed to handle complex and long-running  processes  like  orchestration
       jobs.

       Therefore,  when complex tasks are in order, orchestration is a natural fit. Orchestration
       SLS files can be more complex,  and  use  requisites.  Performing  a  complex  task  using
       orchestration  lets  the  Reactor  system  fire off the orchestration job and proceed with
       processing other reactions.

   Jinja Context
       Reactor SLS files only have access to a minimal Jinja context. grains and pillar  are  not
       available.  The salt object is available for calling remote-execution or runner functions,
       but it should be used sparingly and only for quick tasks for the reasons mentioned above.

       In addition to the salt object,  the  following  variables  are  available  in  the  Jinja
       context:

       • tag - the tag from the event that triggered execution of the Reactor SLS file

       • data - the event's data dictionary

       The data dict will contain an id key containing the minion ID, if the event was fired from
       a minion, and a data key containing the data passed to the event.

   Advanced State System Capabilities
       Reactor  SLS  files,  by  design,  do  not  support  requisites,  ordering,  onlyif/unless
       conditionals and most other powerful constructs from Salt's State system.

       Complex  Master-side  operations  are best performed by Salt's Orchestrate system so using
       the Reactor to kick off an Orchestrate run is a very common pairing.

       For example:

          # /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf
          # A custom event containing: {"foo": "Foo!", "bar: "bar*", "baz": "Baz!"}
          reactor:
            - my/custom/event:
              - /srv/reactor/some_event.sls

          # /srv/reactor/some_event.sls
          invoke_orchestrate_file:
            runner.state.orchestrate:
              - args:
                  - mods: orchestrate.do_complex_thing
                  - pillar:
                      event_tag: {{ tag }}
                      event_data: {{ data|json }}

          # /srv/salt/orchestrate/do_complex_thing.sls
          {% set tag = salt.pillar.get('event_tag') %}
          {% set data = salt.pillar.get('event_data') %}

          # Pass data from the event to a custom runner function.
          # The function expects a 'foo' argument.
          do_first_thing:
            salt.runner:
              - name: custom_runner.custom_function
              - foo: {{ data.foo }}

          # Wait for the runner to finish then send an execution to minions.
          # Forward some data from the event down to the minion's state run.
          do_second_thing:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: {{ data.bar }}
              - sls:
                - do_thing_on_minion
              - kwarg:
                  pillar:
                    baz: {{ data.baz }}
              - require:
                - salt: do_first_thing

   Beacons and Reactors
       An event initiated by a beacon, when it arrives at the master will  be  wrapped  inside  a
       second  event,  such  that  the  data  object  containing  the  beacon information will be
       data['data'], rather than data.

       For example, to access the id field of the beacon event in a reactor file, you  will  need
       to reference {{ data['data']['id'] }} rather than {{ data['id'] }} as for events initiated
       directly on the event bus.

       Similarly,  the  data  dictionary  attached  to  the  event  would  be   located   in   {{
       data['data']['data'] }} instead of {{ data['data'] }}.

       See the beacon documentation for examples.

   Manually Firing an Event
   From the Master
       Use the event.send runner:

          salt-run event.send foo '{orchestrate: refresh}'

   From the Minion
       To fire an event to the master from a minion, call event.send:

          salt-call event.send foo '{orchestrate: refresh}'

       To fire an event to the minion's local event bus, call event.fire:

          salt-call event.fire '{orchestrate: refresh}' foo

   Referencing Data Passed in Events
       Assuming  any of the above examples, any reactor SLS files triggered by watching the event
       tag foo will execute with {{ data['data']['orchestrate'] }} equal to 'refresh'.

   Getting Information About Events
       The best way to see exactly what events have been fired and what data is available in each
       event is to use the state.event runner.

       SEE ALSO:
          Common Salt Events

       Example usage:

          salt-run state.event pretty=True

       Example output:

          salt/job/20150213001905721678/new       {
              "_stamp": "2015-02-13T00:19:05.724583",

              "return": {},
              "success": true
          }

   Debugging the Reactor
       The best window into the Reactor is to run the master in the foreground with debug logging
       enabled. The output will include when the master sees the event, what the master  does  in
       response  to  that  event,  and  it will also include the rendered SLS file (or any errors
       generated while rendering the SLS file).

       1. Stop the master.

       2. Start the master manually:

             salt-master -l debug

       3. Look for log entries in the form:

             [DEBUG   ] Gathering reactors for tag foo/bar
             [DEBUG   ] Compiling reactions for tag foo/bar
             [DEBUG   ] Rendered data from file: /path/to/the/reactor_file.sls:
             <... Rendered output appears here. ...>

          The rendered output is the result of the Jinja parsing and is a good way  to  view  the
          result  of  referencing  Jinja variables. If the result is empty then Jinja produced an
          empty result and the Reactor will ignore it.

   Passing Event Data to Minions or Orchestration as Pillar
       An interesting trick to pass data from the Reactor SLS file to state.apply is to  pass  it
       as inline Pillar data since both functions take a keyword argument named pillar.

       The  following  example uses Salt's Reactor to listen for the event that is fired when the
       key for a new minion is accepted on the master using salt-key.

       /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/key':
              - /srv/salt/haproxy/react_new_minion.sls

       The Reactor then fires a :state.apply command targeted to the HAProxy servers  and  passes
       the ID of the new minion from the event to the state file via inline Pillar.

       /srv/salt/haproxy/react_new_minion.sls:

          {% if data['act'] == 'accept' and data['id'].startswith('web') %}
          add_new_minion_to_pool:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: 'haproxy*'
              - args:
                - mods: haproxy.refresh_pool
                - pillar:
                    new_minion: {{ data['id'] }}
          {% endif %}

       The above command is equivalent to the following command at the CLI:

          salt 'haproxy*' state.apply haproxy.refresh_pool pillar='{new_minion: minionid}'

       This works with Orchestrate files as well:

          call_some_orchestrate_file:
            runner.state.orchestrate:
              - args:
                - mods: orchestrate.some_orchestrate_file
                - pillar:
                    stuff: things

       Which is equivalent to the following command at the CLI:

          salt-run state.orchestrate orchestrate.some_orchestrate_file pillar='{stuff: things}'

       Finally,  that  data is available in the state file using the normal Pillar lookup syntax.
       The following example is grabbing web server names and IP addresses  from  Salt  Mine.  If
       this  state  is  invoked  from the Reactor then the custom Pillar value from above will be
       available and the new minion will be added to the pool but with the disabled flag so  that
       HAProxy won't yet direct traffic to it.

       /srv/salt/haproxy/refresh_pool.sls:

          {% set new_minion = salt['pillar.get']('new_minion') %}

          listen web *:80
              balance source
              {% for server,ip in salt['mine.get']('web*', 'network.interfaces', ['eth0']).items() %}
              {% if server == new_minion %}
              server {{ server }} {{ ip }}:80 disabled
              {% else %}
              server {{ server }} {{ ip }}:80 check
              {% endif %}
              {% endfor %}

   A Complete Example
       In  this  example,  we're  going  to assume that we have a group of servers that will come
       online at random and need to have keys automatically accepted.  We'll  also  add  that  we
       don't  want  all servers being automatically accepted. For this example, we'll assume that
       all hosts that have an id that starts with 'ink' will be automatically accepted  and  have
       state.apply  executed.  On  top of this, we're going to add that a host coming up that was
       replaced (meaning a new key) will also be accepted.

       Our master configuration will be rather simple. All minions that attempte to  authenticate
       will  match the tag of salt/auth. When it comes to the minion key being accepted, we get a
       more refined tag that includes the minion id, which we can use for matching.

       /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.conf:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/auth':
              - /srv/reactor/auth-pending.sls
            - 'salt/minion/ink*/start':
              - /srv/reactor/auth-complete.sls

       In this SLS file, we say that if the key was rejected we will delete the key on the master
       and  then  also tell the master to ssh in to the minion and tell it to restart the minion,
       since a minion process will die if the key is rejected.

       We also say that if the key is pending and the id starts with ink we will accept the  key.
       A  minion  that is waiting on a pending key will retry authentication every ten seconds by
       default.

       /srv/reactor/auth-pending.sls:

          {# Ink server failed to authenticate -- remove accepted key #}
          {% if not data['result'] and data['id'].startswith('ink') %}
          minion_remove:
            wheel.key.delete:
              - args:
                - match: {{ data['id'] }}
          minion_rejoin:
            local.cmd.run:
              - tgt: salt-master.domain.tld
              - args:
                - cmd: ssh -o UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no "{{ data['id'] }}" 'sleep 10 && /etc/init.d/salt-minion restart'
          {% endif %}

          {# Ink server is sending new key -- accept this key #}
          {% if 'act' in data and data['act'] == 'pend' and data['id'].startswith('ink') %}
          minion_add:
            wheel.key.accept:
              - args:
                - match: {{ data['id'] }}
          {% endif %}

       No if statements are needed here because we  already  limited  this  action  to  just  Ink
       servers in the master configuration.

       /srv/reactor/auth-complete.sls:

          {# When an Ink server connects, run state.apply. #}
          highstate_run:
            local.state.apply:
              - tgt: {{ data['id'] }}
              - ret: smtp

       The  above  will also return the highstate result data using the smtp_return returner (use
       virtualname like when using from the command line with --return).  The returner  needs  to
       be   configured   on   the  minion  for  this  to  work.   See  salt.returners.smtp_return
       documentation for that.

   Syncing Custom Types on Minion Start
       Salt will sync all custom types (by  running  a  saltutil.sync_all)  on  every  highstate.
       However,  there  is a chicken-and-egg issue where, on the initial highstate, a minion will
       not yet have these custom types synced when the top file is first compiled.  This  can  be
       worked  around  with  a simple reactor which watches for salt/minion/*/start events, which
       each minion fires when it first starts up and connects to the master.

       On the master, create /srv/reactor/sync_grains.sls with the following contents:

          sync_grains:
            local.saltutil.sync_grains:
              - tgt: {{ data['id'] }}

       And in the master config file, add the following reactor configuration:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/minion/*/start':
              - /srv/reactor/sync_grains.sls

       This will cause the master to instruct each minion to  sync  its  custom  grains  when  it
       starts, making these grains available when the initial highstate is executed.

       Other    types    can    be    synced   by   replacing   local.saltutil.sync_grains   with
       local.saltutil.sync_modules, local.saltutil.sync_all, or whatever else suits the  intended
       use case.

       Also,  if  it  is  not desirable that every minion syncs on startup, the * can be replaced
       with a different glob to narrow down the set of minions  which  will  match  that  reactor
       (e.g. salt/minion/appsrv*/start, which would only match minion IDs beginning with appsrv).

   Reactor Tuning for Large-Scale Installations
       The    reactor    uses    a   thread   pool   implementation   that's   contained   inside
       salt.utils.process.ThreadPool. It uses Python's stdlib Queue to  enqueue  jobs  which  are
       picked  up  by  standard Python threads. If the queue is full, False is simply returned by
       the firing method on the thread pool.

       As such, there are a few things to say about  the  selection  of  proper  values  for  the
       reactor.

       For  situations  where it is expected that many long-running jobs might be executed by the
       reactor, reactor_worker_hwm should be increased or even set to  0  to  bound  it  only  by
       available memory. If set to zero, a close eye should be kept on memory consumption.

       If  many  long-running  jobs  are expected and execution concurrency and performance are a
       concern, you may also increase the value for reactor_worker_threads. This will control the
       number  of  concurrent  threads  which are pulling jobs from the queue and executing them.
       Obviously, this bears a relationship to the speed at which the queue itself will fill  up.
       The  price  to  pay  for  this  value is that each thread will contain a copy of Salt code
       needed to perform the requested action.

ORCHESTRATION

   Orchestrate Runner
       Executing states or highstate on a minion is perfect when you want to ensure  that  minion
       configured  and running the way you want. Sometimes however you want to configure a set of
       minions all at once.

       For example, if you want to set up a load balancer in front of a cluster  of  web  servers
       you can ensure the load balancer is set up first, and then the same matching configuration
       is applied consistently across the whole cluster.

       Orchestration is the way to do this.

   The Orchestrate Runner
       New in version 0.17.0.

       NOTE:
          Orchestrate Deprecates OverState

          The Orchestrate  Runner  (originally  called  the  state.sls  runner)  offers  all  the
          functionality of the OverState, but with some advantages:

          • All requisites available in states can be used.

          • The states/functions will also work on salt-ssh minions.

          The Orchestrate Runner replaced the OverState system in Salt 2015.8.0.

       The  orchestrate  runner  generalizes  the  Salt  state  system  to a Salt master context.
       Whereas  the  state.sls,  state.highstate,  et  al.   functions   are   concurrently   and
       independently  executed  on  each Salt minion, the state.orchestrate runner is executed on
       the master, giving it a master-level view and  control  over  requisites,  such  as  state
       ordering  and  conditionals.   This  allows for inter minion requisites, like ordering the
       application of states on different minions that must not  happen  simultaneously,  or  for
       halting the state run on all minions if a minion fails one of its states.

       The  state.sls,  state.highstate,  et  al.  functions  allow you to statefully manage each
       minion and the state.orchestrate runner  allows  you  to  statefully  manage  your  entire
       infrastructure.

   Writing SLS Files
       Orchestrate  SLS files are stored in the same location as State SLS files. This means that
       both file_roots and gitfs_remotes impact what SLS files are available to the  reactor  and
       orchestrator.

       It  is  recommended to keep reactor and orchestrator SLS files in their own uniquely named
       subdirectories such as _orch/, orch/, _orchestrate/, react/,  _reactor/,  etc.  This  will
       avoid duplicate naming and will help prevent confusion.

   Executing the Orchestrate Runner
       The  Orchestrate  Runner  command format is the same as for the state.sls function, except
       that since it is a runner, it is executed with salt-run rather than  salt.   Assuming  you
       have  a  state.sls  file called /srv/salt/orch/webserver.sls the following command, run on
       the master, will apply the states defined in that file.

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.webserver

       NOTE:
          state.orch is a synonym for state.orchestrate

       Changed in version 2014.1.1: The runner function was renamed to state.orchestrate to avoid
       confusion  with  the  state.sls  execution  function. In versions 0.17.0 through 2014.1.0,
       state.sls must be used.

   Masterless Orchestration
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       To support salt orchestration on masterless minions, the Orchestrate Runner  is  available
       as  an  execution module. The syntax for masterless orchestration is exactly the same, but
       it uses the salt-call command and the minion configuration  must  contain  the  file_mode:
       local option. Alternatively, use salt-call --local on the command line.

          salt-call --local state.orchestrate orch.webserver

       NOTE:
          Masterless  orchestration  supports only the salt.state command in an sls file; it does
          not (currently) support the salt.function command.

   Examples
   Function
       To execute a function, use salt.function:

          # /srv/salt/orch/cleanfoo.sls
          cmd.run:
            salt.function:
              - tgt: '*'
              - arg:
                - rm -rf /tmp/foo

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.cleanfoo

       If you omit the "name" argument, the ID of the state will be the default name, or  in  the
       case  of  salt.function,  the execution module function to run. You can specify the "name"
       argument to avoid conflicting IDs:

          copy_some_file:
            salt.function:
              - name: file.copy
              - tgt: '*'
              - arg:
                - /path/to/file
                - /tmp/copy_of_file
              - kwarg:
                  remove_existing: true

   Fail Functions
       When running a remote execution function in orchestration, certain return values for those
       functions  may  indicate failure, while the function itself doesn't set a return code. For
       those circumstances, using a "fail function" allows for a more flexible means of assessing
       success or failure.

       A  fail  function can be written as part of a custom execution module. The function should
       accept one argument, and return a boolean result. For example:

          def check_func_result(retval):
              if some_condition:
                  return True
              else:
                  return False

       The function can then be referenced in orchestration SLS like so:

          do_stuff:
            salt.function:
              - name: modname.funcname
              - tgt: '*'
              - fail_function: mymod.check_func_result

       IMPORTANT:
          Fail  functions  run  on  the  master,  so  they  must   be   synced   using   salt-run
          saltutil.sync_modules.

   State
       To execute a state, use salt.state.

          # /srv/salt/orch/webserver.sls
          install_nginx:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'web*'
              - sls:
                - nginx

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.webserver

   Highstate
       To run a highstate, set highstate: True in your state config:

          # /srv/salt/orch/web_setup.sls
          webserver_setup:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'web*'
              - highstate: True

          salt-run state.orchestrate orch.web_setup

   Runner
       To  execute  another runner, use salt.runner.  For example to use the cloud.profile runner
       in your orchestration state  additional  options  to  replace  values  in  the  configured
       profile, use this:

          # /srv/salt/orch/deploy.sls
          create_instance:
            salt.runner:
              - name: cloud.profile
              - prof: cloud-centos
              - provider: cloud
              - instances:
                - server1
              - opts:
                  minion:
                    master: master1

       To  get a more dynamic state, use jinja variables together with inline pillar data.  Using
       the same example but passing on pillar data, the state would be like this.

          # /srv/salt/orch/deploy.sls
          {% set servers = salt['pillar.get']('servers', 'test') %}
          {% set master = salt['pillar.get']('master', 'salt') %}
          create_instance:
            salt.runner:
              - name: cloud.profile
              - prof: cloud-centos
              - provider: cloud
              - instances:
                - {{ servers }}
              - opts:
                  minion:
                    master: {{ master }}

       To execute with pillar data.

          salt-run state.orch orch.deploy pillar='{"servers": "newsystem1",
          "master": "mymaster"}'

   Return Codes in Runner/Wheel Jobs
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       State (salt.state) jobs are able to report failure via the state return dictionary. Remote
       execution  (salt.function) jobs are able to report failure by setting a retcode key in the
       __context__ dictionary. However, runner (salt.runner) and wheel  (salt.wheel)  jobs  would
       only  report  a False result when the runner/wheel function raised an exception. As of the
       2018.3.0 release, it is now possible to set a retcode in runner and wheel  functions  just
       as you can do in remote execution functions. Here is some example pseudocode:

          def myrunner():
              ...
              # do stuff
              ...
              if some_error_condition:
                  __context__["retcode"] = 1
              return result

       This  allows  a  custom runner/wheel function to report its failure so that requisites can
       accurately tell that a job has failed.

   More Complex Orchestration
       Many states/functions can be configured in a single file, which  when  combined  with  the
       full  suite  of  requisites,  can be used to easily configure complex orchestration tasks.
       Additionally, the states/functions will be  executed  in  the  order  in  which  they  are
       defined,  unless prevented from doing so by any requisites, as is the default in SLS files
       since 0.17.0.

          bootstrap_servers:
            salt.function:
              - name: cmd.run
              - tgt: 10.0.0.0/24
              - tgt_type: ipcidr
              - arg:
                - bootstrap

          storage_setup:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'role:storage'
              - tgt_type: grain
              - sls: ceph
              - require:
                - salt: webserver_setup

          webserver_setup:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: 'web*'
              - highstate: True

       Given the above setup, the orchestration will be carried out as follows:

       1. The shell command bootstrap will be executed on all minions in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet.

       2. A Highstate will be  run  on  all  minions  whose  ID  starts  with  "web",  since  the
          storage_setup state requires it.

       3. Finally,  the ceph SLS target will be executed on all minions which have a grain called
          role with a value of storage.

       NOTE:
          Remember, salt-run is always executed on the master.

   Parsing Results Programmatically
       Orchestration jobs return output in a specific data  structure.  That  data  structure  is
       represented  differently  depending  on the outputter used. With the default outputter for
       orchestration, you get a nice human-readable output.  Assume the  following  orchestration
       SLS:

          good_state:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: myminion
              - sls:
              - succeed_with_changes

          bad_state:
            salt.state:
              - tgt: myminion
              - sls:
              - fail_with_changes

          mymod.myfunc:
            salt.function:
              - tgt: myminion

          mymod.myfunc_false_result:
            salt.function:
              - tgt: myminion

       Running this using the default outputter would produce output which looks like this:

       The 2018.3.0 release includes a couple fixes to make parsing this  data  easier  and  more
       accurate.  The  first  is  the  ability  to  set a return code in a custom runner or wheel
       function, as noted above. The second is a change to  how  failures  are  included  in  the
       return data. Prior to the 2018.3.0 release, minions that failed a salt.state orchestration
       job would show up in the comment field of the return data, in a human-readable string that
       was  not  easily  parsed.  They  are  now included in the changes dictionary alongside the
       minions that succeeded. In addition, salt.function jobs  which  failed  because  the  fail
       function returned False used to handle their failures in the same way salt.state jobs did,
       and this has likewise been corrected.

   Running States on the Master without a Minion
       The orchestrate runner can be used to execute states on the master without using a minion.
       For example, assume that salt://foo.sls contains the following SLS:

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://files/foo.conf
              - mode: 0600

       In  this case, running salt-run state.orchestrate foo would be the equivalent of running a
       state.sls foo, but it would execute on the master only, and would  not  require  a  minion
       daemon to be running on the master.

       This is not technically orchestration, but it can be useful in certain use cases.

   Limitations
       Only  one  SLS target can be run at a time using this method, while using state.sls allows
       for multiple SLS files to be passed in a comma-separated list.

SOLARIS

       This section contains details on Solaris specific quirks and workarounds.

       NOTE:
          Solaris refers to both Solaris  10  compatible  platforms  like  Solaris  10,  illumos,
          SmartOS, OmniOS, OpenIndiana,... and Oracle Solaris 11 platforms.

   Solaris-specific Behaviour
       Salt  is  capable  of managing Solaris systems, however due to various differences between
       the operating systems, there are some things you need to keep in mind.

       This document will contain any quirks that  apply  across  Salt  or  limitations  in  some
       modules.

   FQDN/UQDN
       On Solaris platforms the FQDN will not always be properly detected.  If an IPv6 address is
       configured pythons `socket.getfqdn()` fails to return a  FQDN  and  returns  the  nodename
       instead. For a full breakdown see the following issue on github: #37027

   Grains
       Not  all  grains  are  available  or some have empty or 0 as value. Mostly grains that are
       depenend on hardware discovery like: - num_gpus - gpus

       Also some resolver related grains like: - domain - dns:options - dns:sortlist

SALT SSH

   Getting Started
       Salt SSH is very easy to use, simply set up a basic roster file of the systems to  connect
       to and run salt-ssh commands in a similar way as standard salt commands.

       • Salt ssh is considered production ready in version 2014.7.0

       • Python  is  required  on  the  remote system (unless using the -r option to send raw ssh
         commands).  The python version requirement is the same  as  that  for  a  standard  Salt
         installation.

       • On  many  systems,  the  salt-ssh  executable  will be in its own package, usually named
         salt-ssh

       • The Salt SSH system does not supersede  the  standard  Salt  communication  systems,  it
         simply  offers an SSH-based alternative that does not require ZeroMQ and a remote agent.
         Be aware that since  all  communication  with  Salt  SSH  is  executed  via  SSH  it  is
         substantially slower than standard Salt with ZeroMQ.

       • At  the  moment  fileserver operations must be wrapped to ensure that the relevant files
         are delivered with the salt-ssh commands.  The  state  module  is  an  exception,  which
         compiles  the  state  run  on the master, and in the process finds all the references to
         salt:// paths and copies those files  down  in  the  same  tarball  as  the  state  run.
         However, needed fileserver wrappers are still under development.

   Salt SSH Roster
       The roster system in Salt allows for remote minions to be easily defined.

       NOTE:
          See the SSH roster docs for more details.

       Simply create the roster file, the default location is /etc/salt/roster:

          web1: 192.168.42.1

       This  is  a  very  basic roster file where a Salt ID is being assigned to an IP address. A
       more elaborate roster can be created:

          web1:
            host: 192.168.42.1 # The IP addr or DNS hostname
            user: fred         # Remote executions will be executed as user fred
            passwd: foobarbaz  # The password to use for login, if omitted, keys are used
            sudo: True         # Whether to sudo to root, not enabled by default
          web2:
            host: 192.168.42.2

       NOTE:
          sudo works only if NOPASSWD is set for user in /etc/sudoers: fred  ALL=(ALL)  NOPASSWD:
          ALL

   Deploy ssh key for salt-ssh
       By  default,  salt-ssh  will  generate  key  pairs  for  ssh,  the  default  path  will be
       /etc/salt/pki/master/ssh/salt-ssh.rsa. The key generation happens when  you  run  salt-ssh
       for the first time.

       You can use ssh-copy-id, (the OpenSSH key deployment tool) to deploy keys to your servers.

          ssh-copy-id -i /etc/salt/pki/master/ssh/salt-ssh.rsa.pub user@server.demo.com

       One could also create a simple shell script, named salt-ssh-copy-id.sh as follows:

          #!/bin/bash
          if [ -z $1 ]; then
             echo $0 user@host.com
             exit 0
          fi
          ssh-copy-id -i /etc/salt/pki/master/ssh/salt-ssh.rsa.pub $1

       NOTE:
          Be certain to chmod +x salt-ssh-copy-id.sh.

          ./salt-ssh-copy-id.sh user@server1.host.com
          ./salt-ssh-copy-id.sh user@server2.host.com

       Once keys are successfully deployed, salt-ssh can be used to control them.

       Alternatively ssh agent forwarding can be used by setting the priv to agent-forwarding.

   Calling Salt SSH
       NOTE:
          salt-ssh on target hosts without Python 3

          The  salt-ssh  command requires at least python 3, which is not installed by default on
          some target hosts.  An easy workaround in this situation is to use the -r option to run
          a raw shell command that installs python26:

              salt-ssh centos-5-minion -r 'yum -y install epel-release ; yum -y install python26'

       NOTE:
          salt-ssh on systems with Python 3.x

          Salt,  before the 2017.7.0 release, does not support Python 3.x which is the default on
          for example the popular 16.04 LTS release  of  Ubuntu.  An  easy  workaround  for  this
          scenario is to use the -r option similar to the example above:

              salt-ssh ubuntu-1604-minion -r 'apt update ; apt install -y python-minimal'

       The salt-ssh command can be easily executed in the same way as a salt command:

          salt-ssh '*' test.version

       Commands with salt-ssh follow the same syntax as the salt command.

       The  standard salt functions are available! The output is the same as salt and many of the
       same flags are available. Please see Salt SSH reference for all of the available options.

   Raw Shell Calls
       By default salt-ssh runs Salt execution modules on the remote  system,  but  salt-ssh  can
       also execute raw shell commands:

          salt-ssh '*' -r 'ifconfig'

   States Via Salt SSH
       The  Salt State system can also be used with salt-ssh. The state system abstracts the same
       interface to the user in salt-ssh as it does when using standard salt. The intent is  that
       Salt Formulas defined for standard salt will work seamlessly with salt-ssh and vice-versa.

       The  standard  Salt  States  walkthroughs  function by simply replacing salt commands with
       salt-ssh.

   Targeting with Salt SSH
       Due to the fact that the targeting approach differs  in  salt-ssh,  only  glob  and  regex
       targets  are  supported  as of this writing, the remaining target systems still need to be
       implemented.

       NOTE:
          By default, Grains are settable through salt-ssh. By default, these grains will not  be
          persisted across reboots.

          See the "thin_dir" setting in Roster documentation for more details.

   Configuring Salt SSH
       Salt  SSH takes its configuration from a master configuration file. Normally, this file is
       in /etc/salt/master. If one wishes to use a customized configuration file, the  -c  option
       to  Salt  SSH  facilitates  passing in a directory to look inside for a configuration file
       named master.

   Minion Config
       New in version 2015.5.1.

       Minion config options can be  defined  globally  using  the  master  configuration  option
       ssh_minion_opts.  It  can also be defined on a per-minion basis with the minion_opts entry
       in the roster.

   Running Salt SSH as non-root user
       By default, Salt read all the configuration from /etc/salt/. If you are running  Salt  SSH
       with  a  regular  user  you  have to modify some paths or you will get "Permission denied"
       messages. You have to modify two parameters: pki_dir and cachedir. Those should point to a
       full path writable for the user.

       It's  recommended  not  to  modify  /etc/salt  for  this purpose. Create a private copy of
       /etc/salt for the user and run the command with -c /new/config/path.

   Define CLI Options with Saltfile
       If you are commonly passing in CLI options to salt-ssh,  you  can  create  a  Saltfile  to
       automatically  use these options. This is common if you're managing several different salt
       projects on the same server.

       So you can cd into a directory that has a Saltfile with the following YAML contents:

          salt-ssh:
            config_dir: path/to/config/dir
            ssh_log_file: salt-ssh.log
            ssh_max_procs: 30
            ssh_wipe: True

       Instead of having to call salt-ssh --config-dir=path/to/config/dir  --max-procs=30  --wipe
       \* test.version you can call salt-ssh \* test.version.

       Boolean-style options should be specified in their YAML representation.

       NOTE:
          The  option  keys  specified  must  match  the  destination  attributes for the options
          specified in the parser salt.utils.parsers.SaltSSHOptionParser.  For  example,  in  the
          case  of the --wipe command line option, its dest is configured to be ssh_wipe and thus
          this is what should be configured in the Saltfile.  Using the names of flags  for  this
          option, being wipe: True or w: True, will not work.

       NOTE:
          For  the  Saltfile  to  be  automatically detected it needs to be named Saltfile with a
          capital S and be readable by the user running salt-ssh.

       At last you can create  ~/.salt/Saltfile  and  salt-ssh  will  automatically  load  it  by
       default.

   Advanced options with salt-ssh
       Salt's  ability to allow users to have custom grains and custom modules is also applicable
       to using salt-ssh. This is done through first packing the  custom  grains  into  the  thin
       tarball before it is deployed on the system.

       For  this  to happen, the config file must be explicit enough to indicate where the custom
       grains are located on the machine like so:

          file_client: local
          file_roots:
            base:
              - /home/user/.salt
              - /home/user/.salt/_states
              - /home/user/.salt/_grains
          module_dirs:
            - /home/user/.salt
          pillar_roots:
            base:
              - /home/user/.salt/_pillar
          root_dir: /tmp/.salt-root

       It's better to be explicit rather than implicit in this situation. This  will  allow  urls
       all under salt:// to be resolved such as salt://_grains/custom_grain.py.

       One  can  confirm  this action by executing a properly setup salt-ssh minion with salt-ssh
       minion grains.items. During this process, a saltutil.sync_all is ran to discover the  thin
       tarball  and then consumed. Output similar to this indicates a successful sync with custom
       grains.

          local:
              ----------
              ...
              executors:
              grains:
                  - grains.custom_grain
              log_handlers:
              ...

       This is especially important when using a custom file_roots that differ from /etc/salt/.

       NOTE:
          Please see https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/grains/ for more information on
          grains and custom grains.

   Debugging salt-ssh
       One common approach for debugging salt-ssh is to simply use the tarball that salt ships to
       the remote machine and call salt-call directly.

       To determine the location of salt-call, simply run salt-ssh with the -ltrace flag and look
       for  a  line  containing  the  string, SALT_ARGV. This contains the salt-call command that
       salt-ssh attempted to execute.

       It is recommended that one modify this command a bit by removing the -l quiet,  --metadata
       and --output json to get a better idea of what's going on the target system.

   Salt Rosters
       Salt rosters are pluggable systems added in Salt 0.17.0 to facilitate the salt-ssh system.
       The roster system was created because salt-ssh needs a means  to  identify  which  systems
       need to be targeted for execution.

       SEE ALSO:
          all-salt.roster

       NOTE:
          The  Roster  System  is not needed or used in standard Salt because the master does not
          need to be initially aware of target systems, since the Salt Minion checks itself  into
          the master.

       Since the roster system is pluggable, it can be easily augmented to attach to any existing
       systems to gather information about what servers are presently  available  and  should  be
       attached to by salt-ssh. By default the roster file is located at /etc/salt/roster.

   How Rosters Work
       The roster system compiles a data structure internally referred to as targets. The targets
       is a list of target systems and attributes about how to connect to said systems. The  only
       requirement for a roster module in Salt is to return the targets data structure.

   Targets Data
       The information which can be stored in a roster target is the following:

          <Salt ID>:       # The id to reference the target system with
              host:        # The IP address or DNS name of the remote host
              user:        # The user to log in as
              passwd:      # The password to log in with

              # Optional parameters
              port:        # The target system's ssh port number
              sudo:        # Boolean to run command via sudo
              sudo_user:   # Str: Set this to execute Salt as a sudo user other than root.
                           # This user must be in the same system group as the remote user
                           # that is used to login and is specified above. Alternatively,
                           # the user must be a super-user.
              tty:         # Boolean: Set this option to True if sudo is also set to
                           # True and requiretty is also set on the target system
              priv:        # File path to ssh private key, defaults to salt-ssh.rsa
                           # The priv can also be set to agent-forwarding to not specify
                           # a key, but use ssh agent forwarding
              priv_passwd: # Passphrase for ssh private key
              timeout:     # Number of seconds to wait for response when establishing
                           # an SSH connection
              minion_opts: # Dictionary of minion opts
              thin_dir:    # The target system's storage directory for Salt
                           # components. Defaults to /tmp/salt-<hash>.
              cmd_umask:   # umask to enforce for the salt-call command. Should be in
                           # octal (so for 0o077 in YAML you would do 0077, or 63)
              ssh_pre_flight: # Path to a script that will run before all other salt-ssh
                              # commands. Will only run the first time when the thin dir
                              # does not exist, unless --pre-flight is passed to salt-ssh
                              # command or ssh_run_pre_flight is set to true in the config
                              # Added in 3001 Release.
              set_path:    # Set the path environment variable, to ensure the expected python
                           # binary is in the salt-ssh path, when running the command.
                           # Example: '$PATH:/usr/local/bin/'. Added in 3001 Release.
              ssh_options: # List of options (as 'option=argument') to pass to ssh.

   ssh_pre_flight
       A Salt-SSH roster option ssh_pre_flight was added in the 3001 release. This enables you to
       run a script before Salt-SSH tries to run any commands. You can set  this  option  in  the
       roster  for  a specific minion or use the roster_defaults to set it for all minions.  This
       script will only run if the thin dir is not currently on the minion. This  means  it  will
       only  run on the first run of salt-ssh or if you have recently wiped out your thin dir. If
       you want to intentionally run the script again you have a couple of options:

       • Wipe out your thin dir by using the -w salt-ssh arg.

       • Set ssh_run_pre_flight to True in the config

       • Run salt-ssh with the --pre-flight arg.

   Target Defaults
       The roster_defaults dictionary in the master config is  used  to  set  the  default  login
       variables  for  minions  in the roster so that the same arguments do not need to be passed
       with commandline arguments.

          roster_defaults:
            user: daniel
            sudo: True
            priv: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            tty: True

   thin_dir
       Salt needs to upload a standalone environment to the target system, and this  defaults  to
       /tmp/salt-<hash>. This directory will be cleaned up per normal systems operation.

       If  you  need  a  persistent Salt environment, for instance to set persistent grains, this
       value will need to be changed.

   SSH Ext Alternatives
       In the 2019.2.0 release the ssh_ext_alternatives feature was added.  This allows  salt-ssh
       to  work  across different supported python versions. You will need to ensure you have the
       following:

          • Salt is installed, with all required dependnecies for the Python version.

          • Everything needs to be importable from the respective Python environment.

       To enable using this feature you will need to edit the  master  configuration  similar  to
       below:

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  dependencies:           # List of dependencies and their installation paths
                    jinja2: /opt/jinja2
                    yaml: /opt/yaml
                    tornado: /opt/tornado
                    msgpack: /opt/msgpack
                    certifi: /opt/certifi
                    singledispatch: /opt/singledispatch.py
                    singledispatch_helpers: /opt/singledispatch_helpers.py
                    markupsafe: /opt/markupsafe
                    backports_abc: /opt/backports_abc.py

       WARNING:
          When  using  Salt  versions  >= 3001 and Python 2 is your py-version you need to use an
          older version of Salt that supports Python 2.  For example, if using  Salt-SSH  version
          3001  and  you  do  not  want  to  install  Python  3  on  your target host you can use
          ssh_ext_alternatives's path option. This option needs  to  point  to  a  2019.2.3  Salt
          installation directory on your Salt-SSH host, which still supports Python 2.

   auto_detect
       In  the  3001  release  the  auto_detect feature was added for ssh_ext_alternatives.  This
       allows salt-ssh to automatically detect the path to all of your dependencies and does  not
       require you to define them under dependencies.

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  auto_detect: True       # Auto detect dependencies
                  py_bin: /usr/bin/python2.7 # Python binary path used to auto detect dependencies

       If  py_bin  is  not  set  alongside  auto_detect,  it  will  attempt  to  auto  detect the
       dependnecies using the major version set in py-version. For example if you have [2, 7] set
       as your py-version, it will attempt to use the binary python2.

       You can also use auto_detect and dependencies together.

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  auto_detect: True       # Auto detect dependencies
                  py_bin: /usr/bin/python2.7 # Python binary path to auto detect dependencies
                  dependencies:           # List of dependencies and their installation paths
                    jinja2: /opt/jinja2

       If  a  dependency  is  defined  in the dependecies list ssh_ext_alternatives will use this
       dependency, instead of the path  that  auto_detect  finds.  For  example,  if  you  define
       /opt/jinja2  under  your  dependencies  for jinja2, it will not try to autodetect the file
       path to the jinja2 module, and will favor /opt/jinja2.

   Different Python Versions
       The 3001 release removed python 2 support in Salt. Even though this python  2  support  is
       being  dropped  we  have provided multiple ways to work around this with Salt-SSH. You can
       use the following options:

          • ssh_pre_flight

          • Using the Salt-SSH raw shell calls to install Python3.

          • Use an older version of Salt on the target host that still supports  Python  2  using
            the feature SSH ext alternatives

THORIUM COMPLEX REACTOR

       The  original Salt Reactor is based on the idea of listening for a specific event and then
       reacting to it. This model comes with many logical limitations, for instance  it  is  very
       difficult  (and  hacky)  to  fire  a reaction based on aggregate data or based on multiple
       events.

       The Thorium reactor is intended to alleviate this problem in a very elegant way.   Instead
       of  using extensive jinja routines or complex python sls files the aggregation of data and
       the determination of what should run becomes isolated to the sls  data  logic,  makes  the
       definitions much cleaner.

   Starting the Thorium Engine
       To  enable  the  thorium  engine add the following configuration to the engines section of
       your Salt Master or Minion configuration file and restart the daemon:

          engines:
            - thorium: {}

   Thorium Modules
       Because of its specialized nature, Thorium uses its own set of modules. However,  many  of
       these  modules  are designed to wrap the more commonly-used Salt subsystems. These modules
       are:

       • local: Execution modules

       • runner: Runner modules

       • wheel: Wheel modules

       There are other modules that ship with Thorium as well. Some of these will be  highlighted
       later in this document.

   Writing Thorium Formulas
       Like  some  other  Salt  subsystems, Thorium uses its own directory structure. The default
       location  for  this  structure  is  /srv/thorium/,  but  it  can  be  changed  using   the
       thorium_roots setting in the master configuration file.

       This would explicitly set the roots to the default:

          thorium_roots:
            base:
              - /srv/thorium

       Example thorium_roots configuration:

          thorium_roots:
            base:
              - /etc/salt/thorium

       It  is  also  possible  to  use  gitfs  with  Thorium, using the thoriumenv or thorium_top
       settings.

       Example using thorium_top:

          thorium_top: salt://thorium/top.sls
          gitfs_provider: pygit2

          gitfs_remotes:
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: salt-backend
              - root: salt
              - base: master
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: thorium-backend
              - root: thorium
              - base: master
              - mountpoint: salt://thorium

       NOTE:
          When using this method don't forget to prepend the mountpoint to files served  by  this
          repo, for example top.sls:

              base:
                '*':
                  - thorium.key_clean

       Example using thoriumenv:

          thoriumenv: thorium
          gitfs_provider: pygit2

          gitfs_remotes:
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: salt-backend
              - root: salt
              - base: master
            - git@github.com:user/repo.git:
              - name: thorium-backend
              - root: thorium
              - saltenv:
                - thorium:
                  - ref: master

       NOTE:
          When  using  this  method all state will run under the defined environment, for example
          top.sls:

              thorium:
                '*':
                  - key_clean

   The Thorium top.sls File
       Thorium uses its own top.sls file, which follows  the  same  convention  as  is  found  in
       /srv/salt/:

          <srv>:
            <target>:
              - <formula 1>
              - <formula 2>
              - <etc...>

       For  instance,  a  top.sls  using a standard base environment and a single Thorium formula
       called key_clean, would look like:

          base:
            '*':
              - key_clean

       Take note that the target in a Thorium top.sls is not used; it only exists to  follow  the
       same convention as other top.sls files. Leave this set to '*' in your own Thorium top.sls.

   Thorium Formula Files
       Thorium  SLS  files  are  processed  by  the same state compiler that processes Salt state
       files. This means that features like requisites, templates, and so on are available.

       Let's take a look at an example, and then discuss each component of it. This formula  uses
       Thorium  to  detect when a minion has disappeared and then deletes the key from the master
       when the minion has been gone for 60 seconds:

          statreg:
            status.reg

          keydel:
            key.timeout:
              - delete: 60
              - require:
                - status: statreg

       There are two stanzas in this formula, whose IDs are statreg and keydel. The first stanza,
       statreg,  tells Thorium to keep track of minion status beacons in its register. We'll talk
       more about the register in a moment.

       The second stanza, keydel, is the one that does the real work. It uses the key  module  to
       apply an expiration (using the timeout function) to a minion. Because delete is set to 60,
       this is a 60 second expiration. If a minion does not check  in  at  least  once  every  60
       seconds, its key will be deleted from the master. This particular function also allows you
       to use reject instead of delete, allowing for a minion to be rejected instead  of  deleted
       if it does not check in within the specified time period.

       There  is also a require requisite in this stanza. It states that the key.timeout function
       will not be called unless the status.reg  function  in  the  statreg  codeblock  has  been
       successfully called first.

   Thorium Links to Beacons
       The  above  example was added in the 2016.11.0 release of Salt and makes use of the status
       beacon also added in the 2016.11.0 release.  For  the  above  Thorium  state  to  function
       properly you will also need to enable the status beacon in the minion configuration file:

          beacons:
            status:
              - interval: 10

       This  will  cause the minion to use the status beacon to check in with the master every 10
       seconds.

   The Thorium Register
       In order to keep track of information, Thorium uses  an  in-memory  register  (or  rather,
       collection of registers) on the master. These registers are only populated when told to by
       a formula, and they normally will be erased when the master is restarted. It  is  possible
       to persist the registers to disk, but we'll get to that in a moment.

       The  example  above uses status.reg to populate a register for you, which is automatically
       used by the key.timeout function. However, you can set your own register values  as  well,
       using the reg module.

       Because  Thorium  watches  the  event  bus,  the  reg  module  is  designed  to  look  for
       user-specified tags, and then extract data from the payload of  events  that  match  those
       tags.  For  instance,  the  following  stanza  will  look  for  an  event  with  a  tag of
       my/custom/event:

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event

       When such an event is found, the data found in the payload dictionary key of bar  will  be
       stored  in  a  register  called foo. This register will store that data in a list. You may
       also use reg.set to add data to a set() instead.

       If you would like to see a copy of the register as it is stored in memory, you can use the
       file.save function:

          myreg:
            file.save

       In  this  case,  each time the register is updated, a copy will be saved in JSON format at
       /var/cache/salt/master/thorium/saves/myreg. If you  would  like  to  see  when  particular
       events  are added to a list-type register, you may add a stamp option to reg.list (but not
       reg.set). With the above two stanzas put together, this would look like:

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event
              - stamp: True

          myreg:
            file.save

       If you would like to only keep a certain number of the most recent register  entries,  you
       may also add a prune option to reg.list (but not reg.set):

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event
              - stamp: True
              - prune: 50

       This example will only keep the 50 most recent entries in the foo register.

   Using Register Data
       Putting  data  in a register is useless if you don't do anything with it. The check module
       is designed  to  examine  register  data  and  determine  whether  it  matches  the  given
       parameters.  For instance, the check.contains function will return True if the given value
       is contained in the specified register:

          foo:
            reg.list:
              - add: bar
              - match: my/custom/event
              - stamp: True
              - prune: 50
            check.contains:
              - value: somedata

       Used with a require requisite, we can call one of  the  wrapper  modules  and  perform  an
       operation. For example:

          shell_test:
            local.cmd:
              - tgt: dufresne
              - func: cmd.run
              - arg:
                - echo 'thorium success' > /tmp/thorium.txt
              - require:
                - check: foo

       This  stanza  will  only  run if the check.contains function under the foo ID returns true
       (meaning the match was found).

       There are a number of other functions in the check module which  use  different  means  of
       comparing values:

       • gt: Check whether the register entry is greater than the given value

       • gte: Check whether the register entry is greater than or equal to the given value

       • lt: Check whether the register entry is less than the given value

       • lte: Check whether the register entry is less than or equal to the given value

       • eq: Check whether the register entry is equal to the given value

       • ne: Check whether the register entry is not equal to the given value

       There  is also a function called check.event which does not examine the register. Instead,
       it looks directly at an event as it is coming in on the event bus,  and  returns  True  if
       that event's tag matches. For example:

          salt/foo/*/bar:
            check.event

          run_remote_ex:
            local.cmd:
              - tgt: '*'
              - func: test.version
              - require:
                - check: salt/foo/*/bar

       This  formula  will look for an event whose tag is salt/foo/<anything>/bar and if it comes
       in, issue a test.version to all minions.

   Register Persistence
       It is possible to persist the register data to disk when a master is  stopped  gracefully,
       and reload it from disk when the master starts up again. This functionality is provided by
       the returner subsystem, and is enabled whenever any returner containing a load_reg  and  a
       save_reg function is used.

SALT CLOUD

   Configuration
       Salt  Cloud  provides a powerful interface to interact with cloud hosts. This interface is
       tightly integrated with Salt, and new virtual machines are automatically connected to your
       Salt master after creation.

       Since  Salt  Cloud is designed to be an automated system, most configuration is done using
       the following YAML configuration files:

       • /etc/salt/cloud: The main configuration file, contains global settings that apply to all
         cloud hosts. See Salt Cloud Configuration.

       • /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf:  Contains  settings  that configure a specific cloud
         host, such as credentials, region  settings,  and  so  on.  Since  configuration  varies
         significantly  between each cloud host, a separate file should be created for each cloud
         host. In Salt Cloud, a provider is synonymous with a  cloud  host  (Amazon  EC2,  Google
         Compute Engine, Rackspace, and so on).  See Provider Specifics.

       • /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:  Contains  settings that define a specific VM type. A
         profile defines the systems specs and image, and any other settings that are specific to
         this  VM  type.  Each specific VM type is called a profile, and multiple profiles can be
         defined in a profile file.  Each profile references a parent provider that  defines  the
         cloud  host  in  which  the  VM  is  created  (the provider settings are in the provider
         configuration explained above).   Based  on  your  needs,  you  might  define  different
         profiles for web servers, database servers, and so on. See VM Profiles.

   Configuration Inheritance
       Configuration  settings  are  inherited  in  order  from  the cloud config => providers =>
       profile.  [image]

       For example, if you wanted to use the same image for all virtual machines for  a  specific
       provider,  the image name could be placed in the provider file. This value is inherited by
       all profiles that use that provider, but is overridden if a image name is defined  in  the
       profile.

       Most configuration settings can be defined in any file, the main difference being how that
       setting is inherited.

   QuickStart
       The Salt Cloud Quickstart walks you through defining a provider, a VM profile,  and  shows
       you how to create virtual machines using Salt Cloud.

       Note  that  if  you  installed  Salt  via  Salt  Bootstrap,  it may not have automatically
       installed salt-cloud for you. Use your  distribution's  package  manager  to  install  the
       salt-cloud  package  from  the  same repo that you used to install Salt.  These repos will
       automatically be setup by Salt Bootstrap.

       Alternatively, the -L option can be passed to the Salt Bootstrap  script  when  installing
       Salt. The -L option will install salt-cloud and the required libcloud package.

   Description
       Salt Cloud is the system used to provision virtual machines on various public clouds via a
       cleanly controlled profile and mapping system.

   Options
       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The location of the Salt  configuration  directory.  This  directory  contains  the
              configuration  files  for  Salt  master  and  minions. The default location on most
              systems is /etc/salt.

   Execution Options
       -L LOCATION, --location=LOCATION
              Specify which region to connect to.

       -a ACTION, --action=ACTION
              Perform an action that may be  specific  to  this  cloud  provider.  This  argument
              requires one or more instance names to be specified.

       -f <FUNC-NAME> <PROVIDER>, --function=<FUNC-NAME> <PROVIDER>
              Perform  an  function  that  may  be specific to this cloud provider, that does not
              apply to an instance. This argument requires a  provider  to  be  specified  (i.e.:
              nova).

       -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE
              Select  a  single  profile  to  build the named cloud VMs from. The profile must be
              defined in the specified profiles file.

       -m MAP, --map=MAP
              Specify a map file to use. If used without any  other  options,  this  option  will
              ensure  that all of the mapped VMs are created. If the named VM already exists then
              it will be skipped.

       -H, --hard
              When specifying a map file, the default behavior is to ensure that all of  the  VMs
              specified  in  the  map file are created. If the --hard option is set, then any VMs
              that exist on configured cloud providers that are not specified  in  the  map  file
              will  be  destroyed. Be advised that this can be a destructive operation and should
              be used with care.

       -d, --destroy
              Pass in the name(s) of VMs to destroy, salt-cloud will search the configured  cloud
              providers  for  the  specified names and destroy the VMs. Be advised that this is a
              destructive operation and should be used with care. Can be used in conjunction with
              the -m option to specify a map of VMs to be deleted.

       -P, --parallel
              Normally  when  building  many  cloud VMs they are executed serially. The -P option
              will run each cloud vm build in a separate process allowing for large groups of VMs
              to be build at once.

              Be advised that some cloud provider's systems don't seem to be well suited for this
              influx of vm creation. When creating large groups of VMs watch the  cloud  provider
              carefully.

       -u, --update-bootstrap
              Update salt-bootstrap to the latest stable bootstrap release.

       -y, --assume-yes
              Default yes in answer to all confirmation questions.

       -k, --keep-tmp
              Do not remove files from /tmp/ after deploy.sh finishes.

       --show-deploy-args
              Include the options used to deploy the minion in the data returned.

       --script-args=SCRIPT_ARGS
              Script arguments to be fed to the bootstrap script when deploying the VM.

   Query Options
       -Q, --query
              Execute  a  query and return some information about the nodes running on configured
              cloud providers

       -F, --full-query
              Execute a query and print out all available information about all cloud  VMs.   Can
              be used in conjunction with -m to display only information about the specified map.

       -S, --select-query
              Execute  a  query  and  print out selected information about all cloud VMs.  Can be
              used in conjunction with -m to display only information about the specified map.

       --list-providers
              Display a list of configured providers.

       --list-profiles
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Display a list of configured profiles.  Pass  in  a  cloud  provider  to  view  the
              provider's  associated  profiles,  such as digitalocean, or pass in all to list all
              the configured profiles.

   Cloud Providers Listings
       --list-locations=LIST_LOCATIONS
              Display a list of locations available in configured cloud providers. Pass the cloud
              provider  that  available locations are desired on, such as "linode", or pass "all"
              to list locations for all configured cloud providers

       --list-images=LIST_IMAGES
              Display a list of images available in configured cloud providers.  Pass  the  cloud
              provider  that  available images are desired on, such as "linode", or pass "all" to
              list images for all configured cloud providers

       --list-sizes=LIST_SIZES
              Display a list of sizes available in configured cloud  providers.  Pass  the  cloud
              provider  that available sizes are desired on, such as "AWS", or pass "all" to list
              sizes for all configured cloud providers

   Cloud Credentials
       --set-password=<USERNAME> <PROVIDER>
              Configure password for a cloud provider and save it to the keyring.   PROVIDER  can
              be  specified with or without a driver, for example: "--set-password bob rackspace"
              or more specific "--set-password bob rackspace:openstack" DEPRECATED!

   Output Options
       --out  Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter  can
              be any of the available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some  outputters  are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.  If
              an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt  will
              fall  back  on  the  pprint  outputter and display the return data using the Python
              pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values  disable
              indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and
                 yellow denotes a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override the configured state_output  value  for  minion  output.  One  of  'full',
              'terse', 'mixed', 'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override  the  configured  state_verbose  value  for  minion output. Set to True or
              False. Default: none.

   Examples
       To create 4 VMs named web1, web2, db1, and db2 from specified profiles:

          salt-cloud -p fedora_rackspace web1 web2 db1 db2

       To read in a map file and create all VMs specified therein:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map

       To read in a map file and create all VMs specified therein in parallel:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -P

       To delete any VMs specified in the map file:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -d

       To delete any VMs NOT specified in the map file:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -H

       To display the status of all VMs specified in the map file:

          salt-cloud -m /path/to/cloud.map -Q

   See also
       salt-cloud(7) salt(7) salt-master(1) salt-minion(1)

   Salt Cloud basic usage
       Salt Cloud needs, at least, one configured Provider and Profile to be functional.

   Creating a VM
       To create a VM with salt cloud, use command:

          salt-cloud -p <profile> name_of_vm

       Assuming there is a profile configured as following:

          fedora_rackspace:
              provider: my-rackspace-config
              image: Fedora 17
              size: 256 server
              script: bootstrap-salt

       Then, the command to create new VM named fedora_http_01 is:

          salt-cloud -p fedora_rackspace fedora_http_01

   Destroying a VM
       To destroy a created-by-salt-cloud VM, use command:

          salt-cloud -d name_of_vm

       For example, to delete the VM created on above example, use:

          salt-cloud -d fedora_http_01

   VM Profiles
       Salt cloud designates virtual machines inside the profile configuration file.  The profile
       configuration  file  defaults to /etc/salt/cloud.profiles and is a yaml configuration. The
       syntax for declaring profiles is simple:

          fedora_rackspace:
              provider: my-rackspace-config
              image: Fedora 17
              size: 256 server
              script: bootstrap-salt

       It should be noted that the  script  option  defaults  to  bootstrap-salt,  and  does  not
       normally  need to be specified. Further examples in this document will not show the script
       option.

       A few key pieces of information need to be declared and can  change  based  on  the  cloud
       provider. A number of additional parameters can also be inserted:

          centos_rackspace:
            provider: my-rackspace-config
            image: CentOS 6.2
            size: 1024 server
            minion:
              master: salt.example.com
              append_domain: webs.example.com
              grains:
                role: webserver

       The  image  must be selected from available images. Similarly, sizes must be selected from
       the list of sizes. To get a list of available images and sizes use the following command:

          salt-cloud --list-images openstack
          salt-cloud --list-sizes openstack

       Some parameters can be specified in the main Salt cloud configuration file  and  then  are
       applied  to all cloud profiles. For instance if only a single cloud provider is being used
       then the provider option can be declared in the Salt cloud configuration file.

   Multiple Configuration Files
       In addition to /etc/salt/cloud.profiles, profiles  can  also  be  specified  in  any  file
       matching  cloud.profiles.d/*conf  which  is  a  sub-directory  relative  to  the  profiles
       configuration   file(with    the    above    configuration    file    as    an    example,
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf).   This  allows  for more extensible configuration, and
       plays nicely with various configuration  management  tools  as  well  as  version  control
       systems.

   Larger Example
          rhel_ec2:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-e565ba8c
            size: t1.micro
            minion:
              cheese: edam

          ubuntu_ec2:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-7e2da54e
            size: t1.micro
            minion:
              cheese: edam

          ubuntu_rackspace:
            provider: my-rackspace-config

   Cloud Map File
       A  number  of  options  exist when creating virtual machines. They can be managed directly
       from profiles and the command line execution, or a more complex map file can  be  created.
       The  map  file  allows  for a number of virtual machines to be created and associated with
       specific profiles. The map file is designed to be run once to create  these  more  complex
       scenarios using salt-cloud.

       Map  files  have a simple format, specify a profile and then a list of virtual machines to
       make from said profile:

          fedora_small:
            - web1
            - web2
            - web3
          fedora_high:
            - redis1
            - redis2
            - redis3
          cent_high:
            - riak1
            - riak2
            - riak3

       This map file can then be called to roll out all of these virtual machines. Map files  are
       called from the salt-cloud command with the -m option:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile

       Remember,  that  as with direct profile provisioning the -P option can be passed to create
       the virtual machines in parallel:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -P

       NOTE:
          Due to limitations in the GoGrid API, instances cannot be provisioned in parallel  with
          the  GoGrid  driver. Map files will work with GoGrid, but the -P argument should not be
          used on maps referencing GoGrid instances.

       A map file can also be enforced to represent the total state  of  a  cloud  deployment  by
       using  the  --hard  option.  When  using  the  hard  option any vms that exist but are not
       specified in the map file will be destroyed:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -P -H

       Be careful with this argument, it is very dangerous! In fact, it is so dangerous  that  in
       order to use it, you must explicitly enable it in the main configuration file.

          enable_hard_maps: True

       A map file can include grains and minion configuration options:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                minion:
                  log_level: debug
                grains:
                  cheese: tasty
                  omelet: du fromage
            - web2:
                minion:
                  log_level: warn
                grains:
                  cheese: more tasty
                  omelet: with peppers

       Any top level data element from your profile may be overridden in the map file:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                size: t2.micro
            - web2:
                size: t2.nano

       As  of  Salt  2017.7.0,  nested elements are merged, and can can be specified individually
       without having to repeat the complete definition for each top level data element. In  this
       example  a  separate  MAC  is  assigned  to  each  VMware instance while inheriting device
       parameters for for disk and network configuration:

          nyc-vm:
            - db1:
                devices:
                  network:
                    Network Adapter 1:
                      mac: '44:44:44:44:44:41'
            - db2:
                devices:
                  network:
                    Network Adapter 1:
                      mac: '44:44:44:44:44:42'

       A map file may also be used with the various query options:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -Q
          {'ec2': {'web1': {'id': 'i-e6aqfegb',
                               'image': None,
                               'private_ips': [],
                               'public_ips': [],
                               'size': None,
                               'state': 0}},
                   'web2': {'Absent'}}

       ...or with the delete option:

          $ salt-cloud -m /path/to/mapfile -d
          The following virtual machines are set to be destroyed:
            web1
            web2

          Proceed? [N/y]

       WARNING:
          Specifying Nodes with Maps on the Command Line Specifying the name of a node  or  nodes
          with  the  maps  options  on  the  command  line  is  not supported. This is especially
          important to remember when using  --destroy  with  maps;  salt-cloud  will  ignore  any
          arguments  passed  in  which  are  not  directly  relevant  to the map file. When using
          ``--destroy`` with a map, every node in the map  file  will  be  deleted!   Maps  don't
          provide  any useful information for destroying individual nodes, and should not be used
          to destroy a subset of a map.

   Requiring Other Instances
       The requires directive can be used in map files to ensure that one instance is created and
       available before another is created.

          fedora_high:
            - db1:
                size: m5.xlarge
            - web1:
                size: m5.large
                requires:
                  - db1

       This requisite is passed to the instance definition dicitonary in a map file and accepts a
       list of instance names as defined in the map.

   Setting up New Salt Masters
       Bootstrapping a new master in the map is as simple as:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                make_master: True
            - web2
            - web3

       Notice that ALL bootstrapped minions from  the  map  will  answer  to  the  newly  created
       salt-master.

       To make any of the bootstrapped minions answer to the bootstrapping salt-master as opposed
       to the newly created salt-master, as an example:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                make_master: True
                minion:
                  master: <the local master ip address>
                  local_master: True
            - web2
            - web3

       The above says the minion running on the newly created salt-master responds to  the  local
       master, ie, the master used to bootstrap these VMs.

       Another example:

          fedora_small:
            - web1:
                make_master: True
            - web2
            - web3:
                minion:
                  master: <the local master ip address>
                  local_master: True

       The  above example makes the web3 minion answer to the local master, not the newly created
       master.

   Using Direct Map Data
       When using modules that access the CloudClient directly (notably, the cloud execution  and
       runner  modules), it is possible to pass in the contents of a map file, rather than a path
       to the location of the map file.

       Normally when using these modules, the path to the map file is passed in using:

          salt-run cloud.map_run /path/to/cloud.map

       To pass in the actual map data, use the map_data argument:

          salt-run cloud.map_run map_data='{"centos7": [{"saltmaster": {"minion": \
              {"transport": "tcp"}, "make_master": true, "master": {"transport": \
              "tcp"}}}, {"minion001": {"minion": {"transport": "tcp"}}}]}'

   Cloud Actions
       Once a VM has been created, there are a number of actions that can be performed on it. The
       "reboot"  action  can  be used across all providers, but all other actions are specific to
       the cloud provider. In order to perform an action, you may specify  it  from  the  command
       line, including the name(s) of the VM to perform the action on:

          $ salt-cloud -a reboot vm_name
          $ salt-cloud -a reboot vm1 vm2 vm2

       Or you may specify a map which includes all VMs to perform the action on:

          $ salt-cloud -a reboot -m /path/to/mapfile

       The following is an example list of actions currently supported by salt-cloud:

          all providers:
              - reboot
          ec2:
              - start
              - stop
          joyent:
              - stop
          linode:
              - start
              - stop

       Another  useful  reference  for  viewing more salt-cloud actions is the Salt Cloud Feature
       Matrix.

   Cloud Functions
       Cloud functions work much the same way as cloud actions, except that they don't perform an
       operation  on  a  specific  instance,  and  so do not need a machine name to be specified.
       However, since they perform an operation on a specific cloud provider, that provider  must
       be specified.

          $ salt-cloud -f show_image ec2 image=ami-fd20ad94

       There  are  three  universal  salt-cloud functions that are extremely useful for gathering
       information about instances on a provider basis:

       • list_nodes: Returns some general information about the instances for the given provider.

       • list_nodes_full: Returns all information about the instances for the given provider.

       • list_nodes_select:  Returns  select  information  about  the  instances  for  the  given
         provider.

          $ salt-cloud -f list_nodes linode
          $ salt-cloud -f list_nodes_full linode
          $ salt-cloud -f list_nodes_select linode

       Another  useful  reference  for  viewing  salt-cloud  functions  is the Salt Cloud Feature
       Matrix.

   Core Configuration
   Install Salt Cloud
       Salt Cloud is now part of Salt proper.  It was merged in as of Salt version 2014.1.0.

       On Ubuntu, install Salt Cloud by using following command:

          sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saltstack/salt
          sudo apt-get update
          sudo apt-get install salt-cloud

       If using Salt Cloud on macOS, curl-ca-bundle must be installed. Presently, this package is
       not available via brew, but it is available using MacPorts:

          sudo port install curl-ca-bundle

       Salt Cloud depends on apache-libcloud.  Libcloud can be installed via pip with pip install
       apache-libcloud.

   Installing Salt Cloud for development
       Installing Salt for development enables Salt Cloud development as  well,  just  make  sure
       apache-libcloud is installed as per above paragraph.

       See these instructions: Installing Salt for development.

   Core Configuration
       A number of core configuration options and some options that are global to the VM profiles
       can be set  in  the  cloud  configuration  file.  By  default  this  file  is  located  at
       /etc/salt/cloud.

   Thread Pool Size
       When  salt  cloud  is  operating in parallel mode via the -P argument, you can control the
       thread pool size by specifying the pool_size parameter with a positive integer value.

       By default, the thread pool size will be set to the number  of  VMs  that  salt  cloud  is
       operating on.

          pool_size: 10

   Minion Configuration
       The  default  minion  configuration  is set up in this file. Minions created by salt-cloud
       derive their configuration from this file. Almost all parameters found in Configuring  the
       Salt Minion can be used here.

          minion:
            master: saltmaster.example.com

       In  particular,  this  is  the location to specify the location of the salt master and its
       listening port, if the port is not set to the default.

       Similar to most  other  settings,  Minion  configuration  settings  are  inherited  across
       configuration  files. For example, the master setting might be contained in the main cloud
       configuration file as demonstrated above, but additional settings can  be  placed  in  the
       provider, profile or map configuration files:

          ec2-web:
            size: t1.micro
            minion:
              environment: test
              startup_states: sls
              sls_list:
                - web

       When  salt  cloud  creates a new minion, it can automatically add grain information to the
       minion configuration file identifying the sources originally used to define it.

       The generated grain information will appear similar to:

          grains:
            salt-cloud:
              driver: ec2
              provider: my_ec2:ec2
              profile: ec2-web

       The  generation  of   the   salt-cloud   grain   can   be   suppressed   by   the   option
       enable_cloud_grains: 'False' in the cloud configuration file.

   Cloud Configuration Syntax
       The data specific to interacting with public clouds is set up here.

       Cloud  provider  configuration  settings  can  live  in  several  places.  The first is in
       /etc/salt/cloud:

          # /etc/salt/cloud
          providers:
            my-aws-migrated-config:
              id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
              key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
              keyname: test
              securitygroup: quick-start
              private_key: /root/test.pem
              driver: ec2

       Cloud provider configuration data can also be housed in /etc/salt/cloud.providers  or  any
       file matching /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf. All files in any of these locations will
       be parsed for cloud provider data.

       Using the example configuration above:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers
          # or could be /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf
          my-aws-config:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: quick-start
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

       NOTE:
          Salt Cloud provider configurations within /etc/cloud.provider.d/ should not specify the
          providers starting key.

       It  is  also  possible  to  have multiple cloud configuration blocks within the same alias
       block.  For example:

          production-config:
            - id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
              key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
              keyname: test
              securitygroup: quick-start
              private_key: /root/test.pem
              driver: ec2

            - user: example_user
              apikey: 123984bjjas87034
              driver: rackspace

       However, using this configuration method requires  a  change  with  profile  configuration
       blocks.   The  provider  alias  needs  to  have  the provider key value appended as in the
       following example:

          rhel_aws_dev:
            provider: production-config:ec2
            image: ami-e565ba8c
            size: t1.micro

          rhel_aws_prod:
            provider: production-config:ec2
            image: ami-e565ba8c
            size: High-CPU Extra Large Instance

          database_prod:
            provider: production-config:rackspace
            image: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
            size: 256 server

       Notice that because of the multiple entries, one has to be  explicit  about  the  provider
       alias and name, from the above example, production-config: ec2.

       This   data  interactions  with  the  salt-cloud  binary  regarding  its  --list-location,
       --list-images, and --list-sizes which needs a cloud provider as an argument. The  argument
       used  should  be  the  configured cloud provider alias. If the provider alias has multiple
       entries, <provider-alias>: <provider-name> should be used.

       To allow for a  more  extensible  configuration,  --providers-config,  which  defaults  to
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers,  was  added  to  the  cli parser.  It allows for the providers'
       configuration to be added on a per-file basis.

   Pillar Configuration
       It is possible to configure cloud providers using pillars. This is only used  when  inside
       the  cloud  module.  You  can  setup  a  variable called cloud that contains your profile,
       provider, and map to pass that information to the cloud servers instead of having to  copy
       the  full configuration to every minion. In your pillar file, you would use something like
       this:

          cloud:
            ssh_key_name: saltstack
            ssh_key_file: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            update_cachedir: True
            diff_cache_events: True

            providers:
              my-openstack:
                driver: openstack
                region_name: ORD
                cloud: mycloud

            profiles:
              ubuntu-openstack:
                provider: my-openstack
                size: ds512M
                image: CentOS 7
                script_args: git develop

            maps:
              my-dev-map:
                ubuntu-openstack:
                  - dev-test01
                  - dev-test02
                  - dev-test03
                  - dev-test04
              my-prd-map:
                ubuntu-openstack:
                  - prd-web01
                  - prd-web02
                      minion:
                        id: custom-minion-id-app1-stack1-frontend
                      grains:
                        roles:
                          - webserver
                        deployment: datacenter4-openstack
                  - prod-db01
                  - prod-db02

   Cloud Configurations
   Scaleway
       To use Salt Cloud with Scaleway, you need to get an access  key  and  an  API  token.  API
       tokens  are  unique  identifiers  associated with your Scaleway account.  To retrieve your
       access key and API token, log-in to the Scaleway control panel, open the pull-down menu on
       your account name and click on "My Credentials" link.

       If  you do not have API token you can create one by clicking the "Create New Token" button
       on the right corner.

          my-scaleway-config:
            access_key: 15cf404d-4560-41b1-9a0c-21c3d5c4ff1f
            token: a7347ec8-5de1-4024-a5e3-24b77d1ba91d
            driver: scaleway

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-scaleway-config.

   Rackspace
       Rackspace cloud requires two configuration options; a user and an apikey:

          my-rackspace-config:
            user: example_user
            apikey: 123984bjjas87034
            driver: rackspace

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-rackspace-config.

   Amazon AWS
       A number of configuration options are required for Amazon AWS including id, key,  keyname,
       securitygroup, and private_key:

          my-aws-quick-start:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: quick-start
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

          my-aws-default:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: default
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required  field   would   be   either   provider:   my-aws-quick-start   or   provider:
          my-aws-default.

   Linode
       Linode requires a single API key, but the default root password also needs to be set:

          my-linode-config:
            apikey: asldkgfakl;sdfjsjaslfjaklsdjf;askldjfaaklsjdfhasldsadfghdkf
            password: F00barbaz
            ssh_pubkey: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAIKHEOLLbeXgaqRQT9NBAopVz366SdYc0KKX33vAnq+2R user@host
            ssh_key_file: ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
            driver: linode

       The password needs to be 8 characters and contain lowercase, uppercase, and numbers.

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-linode-config

   Joyent Cloud
       The Joyent cloud requires three configuration parameters: The username and  password  that
       are  used  to  log  into the Joyent system, as well as the location of the private SSH key
       associated with the Joyent account. The  SSH  key  is  needed  to  send  the  provisioning
       commands up to the freshly created virtual machine.

          my-joyent-config:
            user: fred
            password: saltybacon
            private_key: /root/joyent.pem
            driver: joyent

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-joyent-config

   GoGrid
       To use Salt Cloud with GoGrid, log into the GoGrid web interface and create an API key. Do
       this by clicking on "My Account" and then going to the API Keys tab.

       The  apikey  and  the  sharedsecret  configuration  parameters  need  to  be  set  in  the
       configuration file to enable interfacing with GoGrid:

          my-gogrid-config:
            apikey: asdff7896asdh789
            sharedsecret: saltybacon
            driver: gogrid

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-gogrid-config.

   OpenStack
       Using  Salt for OpenStack uses the shade <https://docs.openstack.org/shade/latest/> driver
       managed by the openstack-infra team.

       This  driver  can  be   configured   using   the   /etc/openstack/clouds.yml   file   with
       os-client-config <https://docs.openstack.org/os-client-config/latest/>

          myopenstack:
            driver: openstack
            region_name: RegionOne
            cloud: mycloud

       Or by just configuring the same auth block directly in the cloud provider config.

          myopenstack:
            driver: openstack
            region_name: RegionOne
            auth:
              username: 'demo'
              password: secret
              project_name: 'demo'
              auth_url: 'http://openstack/identity'

       Both        of        these       methods       support       using       the       vendor
       <https://docs.openstack.org/os-client-config/latest/user/vendor-support.html> options.

       For more information, look at Openstack Cloud Driver Docs

   DigitalOcean
       Using Salt for DigitalOcean requires a client_key and an api_key. These can  be  found  in
       the DigitalOcean web interface, in the "My Settings" section, under the API Access tab.

          my-digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            personal_access_token: xxx
            location: New York 1

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-digital-ocean-config.

   Parallels
       Using Salt with Parallels requires a user, password and URL. These can  be  obtained  from
       your cloud provider.

          my-parallels-config:
            user: myuser
            password: xyzzy
            url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/
            driver: parallels

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-parallels-config.

   Proxmox
       Using Salt with Proxmox requires a user, password, and URL. These  can  be  obtained  from
       your cloud host. Both PAM and PVE users can be used.

          my-proxmox-config:
            driver: proxmox
            user: saltcloud@pve
            password: xyzzy
            url: your.proxmox.host

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: my-proxmox-config.

   LXC
       The lxc driver uses saltify to install salt and attach the lxc  container  as  a  new  lxc
       minion.  As  soon  as we can, we manage baremetal operation over SSH. You can also destroy
       those containers via this driver.

          devhost10-lxc:
            target: devhost10
            driver: lxc

       And in the map file:

          devhost10-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            from_container: ubuntu
            backing: lvm
            sudo: True
            size: 3g
            ip: 10.0.3.9
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506
            lxc_conf:
              - lxc.utsname: superlxc

       NOTE:
          In the cloud profile that uses this provider configuration, the syntax for the provider
          required field would be provider: devhost10-lxc.

   Saltify
       The  Saltify  driver  is  a  new, experimental driver designed to install Salt on a remote
       machine, virtual or bare metal, using SSH. This driver is useful for provisioning machines
       which  are already installed, but not Salted. For more information about using this driver
       and for configuration examples, please see the Getting Started with Saltify documentation.

   Vagrant
       The Vagrant driver is a new, experimental driver  for  controlling  a  VagrantBox  virtual
       machine, and installing Salt on it. The target host machine must be a working salt minion,
       which is controlled via the salt master using salt-api.  For more information, see Getting
       Started With Vagrant.

   Extending Profiles and Cloud Providers Configuration
       As  of 0.8.7, the option to extend both the profiles and cloud providers configuration and
       avoid  duplication  was  added.  The  extends  feature  works  on  the  current   profiles
       configuration,  but,  regarding  the  cloud providers configuration, only works in the new
       syntax  and  respective  configuration  files,  i.e.   /etc/salt/salt/cloud.providers   or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

       NOTE:
          Extending cloud profiles and providers is not recursive. For example, a profile that is
          extended by a second profile is possible, but the second profile cannot be extended  by
          a third profile.

          Also,  if a profile (or provider) is extending another profile and each contains a list
          of values, the lists from the  extending  profile  will  override  the  list  from  the
          original profile. The lists are not merged together.

   Extending Profiles
       Some    example    usage    on    how    to    use   extends   with   profiles.   Consider
       /etc/salt/salt/cloud.profiles containing:

          development-instances:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: ec2_user
            securitygroup:
              - default
            deploy: False

          Amazon-Linux-AMI-2012.09-64bit:
            image: ami-54cf5c3d
            extends: development-instances

          Fedora-17:
            image: ami-08d97e61
            extends: development-instances

          CentOS-5:
            provider: my-aws-config
            image: ami-09b61d60
            extends: development-instances

       The above configuration, once parsed would generate the following profiles data:

          [
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "image": "ami-08d97e61",
                  "profile": "Fedora-17",
                  "provider": "my-ec2-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "image": "ami-09b61d60",
                  "profile": "CentOS-5",
                  "provider": "my-aws-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "image": "ami-54cf5c3d",
                  "profile": "Amazon-Linux-AMI-2012.09-64bit",
                  "provider": "my-ec2-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
              {
                  "deploy": False,
                  "profile": "development-instances",
                  "provider": "my-ec2-config",
                  "securitygroup": ["default"],
                  "size": "t1.micro",
                  "ssh_username": "ec2_user",
              },
          ]

       Pretty cool right?

   Extending Providers
       Some example usage on how  to  use  extends  within  the  cloud  providers  configuration.
       Consider /etc/salt/salt/cloud.providers containing:

          my-develop-envs:
            - id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
              key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
              keyname: test
              securitygroup: quick-start
              private_key: /root/test.pem
              location: ap-southeast-1
              availability_zone: ap-southeast-1b
              driver: ec2

            - user: myuser@mycorp.com
              password: mypass
              ssh_key_name: mykey
              ssh_key_file: '/etc/salt/ibm/mykey.pem'
              location: Raleigh
              driver: ibmsce

          my-productions-envs:
            - extends: my-develop-envs:ibmsce
              user: my-production-user@mycorp.com
              location: us-east-1
              availability_zone: us-east-1

       The above configuration, once parsed would generate the following providers data:

          {
              "providers": {
                  "my-develop-envs": [
                      {
                          "availability_zone": "ap-southeast-1b",
                          "id": "HJGRYCILJLKJYG",
                          "key": "kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn",
                          "keyname": "test",
                          "location": "ap-southeast-1",
                          "private_key": "/root/test.pem",
                          "driver": "aws",
                          "securitygroup": "quick-start",
                      },
                      {
                          "location": "Raleigh",
                          "password": "mypass",
                          "driver": "ibmsce",
                          "ssh_key_file": "/etc/salt/ibm/mykey.pem",
                          "ssh_key_name": "mykey",
                          "user": "myuser@mycorp.com",
                      },
                  ],
                  "my-productions-envs": [
                      {
                          "availability_zone": "us-east-1",
                          "location": "us-east-1",
                          "password": "mypass",
                          "driver": "ibmsce",
                          "ssh_key_file": "/etc/salt/ibm/mykey.pem",
                          "ssh_key_name": "mykey",
                          "user": "my-production-user@mycorp.com",
                      }
                  ],
              }
          }

   Windows Configuration
   Spinning up Windows Minions
       It  is  possible  to use Salt Cloud to spin up Windows instances, and then install Salt on
       them. This functionality is available on all cloud providers that are  supported  by  Salt
       Cloud. However, it may not necessarily be available on all Windows images.

   Requirements
       NOTE:
          Support  winexe  and  impacket  has  been deprecated and will be removed in 3001. These
          dependencies are replaced by pypsexec  and  smbprotocol  respectivly.  These  are  pure
          python alternatives that are compatible with all supported python versions.

       Salt Cloud makes use of impacket and winexe to set up the Windows Salt Minion installer.

       impacket  is  usually  available  as  either  the impacket or the python-impacket package,
       depending on the distribution. More information on impacket can be found  at  the  project
       home:

       • impacket project home

       winexe  is  less commonly available in distribution-specific repositories.  However, it is
       currently being built for various distributions in 3rd party channels:

       • RPMs at pbone.netopenSUSE Build Servicepypsexec project homesmbprotocol project home

       Optionally WinRM can be used instead of winexe if the python module pywinrm  is  available
       and  WinRM is supported on the target Windows version. Information on pywinrm can be found
       at the project home:

       • pywinrm project home

       Additionally, a copy of the Salt Minion Windows installer must be present on the system on
       which Salt Cloud is running. This installer may be downloaded from saltstack.com:

       • SaltStack Download Area

   Self Signed Certificates with WinRM
       Salt-Cloud can use versions of pywinrm<=0.1.1 or pywinrm>=0.2.1.

       For  versions  greater  than  0.2.1,  winrm_verify_ssl  needs  to  be  set to False if the
       certificate is self signed and not verifiable.

   Firewall Settings
       Because Salt Cloud makes use of smbclient and winexe, port 445 must be open on the  target
       image.  This port is not generally open by default on a standard Windows distribution, and
       care must be taken to use an image in which this port is open, or the Windows firewall  is
       disabled.

       If  supported  by the cloud provider, a PowerShell script may be used to open up this port
       automatically, using the cloud provider's userdata. The following  script  would  open  up
       port 445, and apply the changes:

          <powershell>
          New-NetFirewallRule -Name "SMB445" -DisplayName "SMB445" -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 445
          Set-Item (dir wsman:\localhost\Listener\*\Port -Recurse).pspath 445 -Force
          Restart-Service winrm
          </powershell>

       For  EC2,  this  script  may  be saved as a file, and specified in the provider or profile
       configuration as userdata_file. For instance:

          my-ec2-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1

       NOTE:
          From versions 2016.11.0 and 2016.11.3,  this  file  was  passed  through  the  master's
          renderer  to template it. However, this caused issues with non-YAML data, so templating
          is  no  longer  performed  by  default.   To  template   the   userdata_file,   add   a
          userdata_template option to the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1
                userdata_template: jinja

          If no userdata_template is set in the cloud profile, then the master configuration will
          be checked for a userdata_template value.  If this is not set, then no templating  will
          be performed on the userdata_file.

          To  disable  templating in a cloud profile when a userdata_template has been set in the
          master configuration file, simply set userdata_template to False in the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1
                userdata_template: False

       If you are using WinRM on EC2 the HTTPS port for the WinRM service must also be enabled in
       your  userdata.  By  default EC2 Windows images only have insecure HTTP enabled. To enable
       HTTPS and basic  authentication  required  by  pywinrm  consider  the  following  userdata
       example:

          <powershell>
          New-NetFirewallRule -Name "SMB445" -DisplayName "SMB445" -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 445
          New-NetFirewallRule -Name "WINRM5986" -DisplayName "WINRM5986" -Protocol TCP -LocalPort 5986

          winrm quickconfig -q
          winrm set winrm/config/winrs '@{MaxMemoryPerShellMB="300"}'
          winrm set winrm/config '@{MaxTimeoutms="1800000"}'
          winrm set winrm/config/service/auth '@{Basic="true"}'

          $SourceStoreScope = 'LocalMachine'
          $SourceStorename = 'Remote Desktop'

          $SourceStore = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store -ArgumentList $SourceStorename, $SourceStoreScope
          $SourceStore.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::ReadOnly)

          $cert = $SourceStore.Certificates | Where-Object -FilterScript {
              $_.subject -like '*'
          }

          $DestStoreScope = 'LocalMachine'
          $DestStoreName = 'My'

          $DestStore = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Store -ArgumentList $DestStoreName, $DestStoreScope
          $DestStore.Open([System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.OpenFlags]::ReadWrite)
          $DestStore.Add($cert)

          $SourceStore.Close()
          $DestStore.Close()

          winrm create winrm/config/listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTPS `@`{CertificateThumbprint=`"($cert.Thumbprint)`"`}

          Restart-Service winrm
          </powershell>

       No  certificate store is available by default on EC2 images and creating one does not seem
       possible without an MMC (cannot be automated). To use the default EC2 Windows  images  the
       above copies the RDP store.

   Configuration
       Configuration is set as usual, with some extra configuration settings. The location of the
       Windows installer on the machine that Salt Cloud is running on must be specified. This may
       be  done  in any of the regular configuration files (main, providers, profiles, maps). For
       example:

       Setting the installer in /etc/salt/cloud.providers:

          my-softlayer:
            driver: softlayer
            user: MYUSER1138
            apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com
            win_installer: /root/Salt-Minion-2014.7.0-AMD64-Setup.exe
            win_username: Administrator
            win_password: letmein
            smb_port: 445

       The default Windows user is Administrator, and the default Windows password is blank.

       If WinRM is to be used use_winrm needs to be set  to  True.  winrm_port  can  be  used  to
       specify  a custom port (must be HTTPS listener).  And winrm_verify_ssl can be set to False
       to use a self signed certificate.

   Auto-Generated Passwords on EC2
       On EC2, when the  win_password  is  set  to  auto,  Salt  Cloud  will  query  EC2  for  an
       auto-generated password. This password is expected to take at least 4 minutes to generate,
       adding additional time to the deploy process.

       When the EC2 API is queried for the auto-generated password, it  will  be  returned  in  a
       message  encrypted  with  the  specified  keyname.  This  requires  that  the  appropriate
       private_key file is also specified. Such a profile configuration might look like:

          windows-server-2012:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-c49c0dac
            size: m1.small
            securitygroup: windows
            keyname: mykey
            private_key: /root/mykey.pem
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/windows-firewall.ps1
            win_installer: /root/Salt-Minion-2014.7.0-AMD64-Setup.exe
            win_username: Administrator
            win_password: auto

   Cloud Provider Specifics
   Getting Started With Aliyun ECS
       The Aliyun ECS (Elastic Computer Service) is one of the most popular public cloud hosts in
       China. This cloud host can be used to manage aliyun instance using salt-cloud.

       http://www.aliyun.com/

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Configuration
       Using  Salt  for  Aliyun  ECS  requires aliyun access key id and key secret.  These can be
       found in the aliyun web interface, in the "User Center" section, under "My Service" tab.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-aliyun-config:
            # aliyun Access Key ID
            id: wDGEwGregedg3435gDgxd
            # aliyun Access Key Secret
            key: GDd45t43RDBTrkkkg43934t34qT43t4dgegerGEgg
            location: cn-qingdao
            driver: aliyun

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was  made  to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud
          module  that  provides  the  underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while
          cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to provider  configurations  that  you
          define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set    up    an    initial    profile    at    /etc/salt/cloud.profiles    or    in    the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          aliyun_centos:
              provider: my-aliyun-config
              size: ecs.t1.small
              location: cn-qingdao

   Getting Started With Azure
       New in version 2014.1.0.

       Azure  is  a  cloud  service  by Microsoft providing virtual machines, SQL services, media
       services, and more. This document describes how to use Salt  Cloud  to  create  a  virtual
       machine on Azure, with Salt installed.

       More information about Azure is located at http://www.windowsazure.com/.

   DependenciesMicrosoft Azure SDK for Python >= 1.0.2

       • The python-requests library, for Python < 2.7.9.

       • A Microsoft Azure account

       • OpenSSL (to generate the certificates)

       • Salt

   Configuration
       Set up the provider config at /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf

          my-azure-config:
            driver: azure
            subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
            certificate_path: /etc/salt/azure.pem

            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Optional
            management_host: management.core.windows.net

       The  certificate  used  must  be  generated by the user. OpenSSL can be used to create the
       management certificates. Two certificates are needed: a .cer file, which  is  uploaded  to
       Azure, and a .pem file, which is stored locally.

       To create the .pem file, execute the following command:

          openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout /etc/salt/azure.pem -out /etc/salt/azure.pem

       To create the .cer file, execute the following command:

          openssl x509 -inform pem -in /etc/salt/azure.pem -outform der -out /etc/salt/azure.cer

       After  creating  these  files,  the  .cer  file  will need to be uploaded to Azure via the
       "Upload a Management Certificate" action of the "Management Certificates" tab  within  the
       "Settings" section of the management portal.

       Optionally, a management_host may be configured, if necessary for the region.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          azure-ubuntu:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: 'b39f27a8b8c64d52b05eac6a62ebad85__Ubuntu-12_04_3-LTS-amd64-server-20131003-en-us-30GB'
            size: Small
            location: 'East US'
            ssh_username: azureuser
            ssh_password: verybadpass
            slot: production
            media_link: 'http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds'
            virtual_network_name: azure-virtual-network
            subnet_name: azure-subnet

       These options are described in more detail below. Once  configured,  the  profile  can  be
       realized with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p azure-ubuntu newinstance

       This  will  create  an salt minion instance named newinstance in Azure. If the command was
       executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it  can  be
       verified with Salt:

          salt newinstance test.version

   Profile Options
       The following options are currently available for Azure.

   provider
       The name of the provider as configured in /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf.

   image
       The  name  of  the  image  to use to create a VM. Available images can be viewed using the
       following command:

          salt-cloud --list-images my-azure-config

   size
       The name of the size to use to create a VM.  Available  sizes  can  be  viewed  using  the
       following command:

          salt-cloud --list-sizes my-azure-config

   location
       The  name  of  the location to create a VM in. Available locations can be viewed using the
       following command:

          salt-cloud --list-locations my-azure-config

   affinity_group
       The name of the affinity group to create a VM in. Either a location or  an  affinity_group
       may be specified, but not both. See Affinity Groups below.

   ssh_username
       The user to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt.

   ssh_password
       The password to use to log into the newly-created VM to install Salt.

   slot
       The  environment  to  which  the  hosted  service is deployed. Valid values are staging or
       production.  When  set  to  production,  the  resulting  URL  of  the  new  VM   will   be
       <vm_name>.cloudapp.net.  When  set  to staging, the resulting URL will contain a generated
       hash instead.

   media_link
       This is the URL of the container that will store the disk that this VM  uses.   Currently,
       this  container  must already exist. If a VM has previously been created in the associated
       account, a container should already exist. In the web interface, go into the Storage  area
       and  click  one  of  the available storage selections. Click the Containers link, and then
       copy the URL from the container that will be used. It generally looks like:

          http://portalvhdabcdefghijklmn.blob.core.windows.net/vhds

   service_name
       The name of the service in which to create the VM.  If  this  is  not  specified,  then  a
       service will be created with the same name as the VM.

   virtual_network_name
       Optional.  The  name  of the virtual network for the VM to join. If this is not specified,
       then no virtual network will be joined.

   subnet_name
       Optional. The name of the subnet in the virtual network for the VM to join.  Requires that
       a virtual_network_name is specified.

   Show Instance
       This  action  is  a  thin  wrapper around --full-query, which displays details on a single
       instance only. In an environment with several machines, this will save a user from  having
       to sort through all instance data, just to examine a single instance.

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Destroying VMs
       There  are  certain  options which can be specified in the global cloud configuration file
       (usually /etc/salt/cloud) which affect Salt Cloud's behavior when a VM is destroyed.

   cleanup_disks
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default is False. When set to True, Salt Cloud will wait for the VM to be destroyed,  then
       attempt to destroy the main disk that is associated with the VM.

   cleanup_vhds
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default  is  False.  Requires cleanup_disks to be set to True. When also set to True, Salt
       Cloud will ask Azure to delete the VHD associated with the disk that is also destroyed.

   cleanup_services
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Default is False. Requires cleanup_disks to be set to True. When also set  to  True,  Salt
       Cloud  will  wait for the disk to be destroyed, then attempt to remove the service that is
       associated with the VM. Because the  disk  belongs  to  the  service,  the  disk  must  be
       destroyed before the service can be.

   Managing Hosted Services
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       An  account can have one or more hosted services. A hosted service is required in order to
       create a VM. However, as mentioned above, if a hosted service is not specified when  a  VM
       is  created,  then  one  will  automatically  be  created  with  the name of the name. The
       following functions are also available.

   create_service
       Create a hosted service. The following options are available.

   name
       Required. The name of the hosted service to create.

   label
       Required. A label to apply to the hosted service.

   description

   Managing Management Certificates
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       A Azure management certificate is an X.509 v3 certificate used to authenticate  an  agent,
       such  as  Visual  Studio  Tools  for  Windows  Azure or a client application that uses the
       Service Management API, acting on behalf of the subscription owner to manage  subscription
       resources.  Azure  management  certificates  are  uploaded  to  Azure  and  stored  at the
       subscription level. The management certificate store can hold up to 100  certificates  per
       subscription. These certificates are used to authenticate your Windows Azure deployment.

       For more information on management certificates, see the following link.

       • Manage Certificates

       The following functions are available.

   list_management_certificates

   add_management_certificate
       Management  certificates must have a key length of at least 2048 bits and should reside in
       the Personal certificate store. When the certificate is installed on the client, it should
       contain  the private key of the certificate. To upload to the certificate to the Microsoft
       Azure Management Portal, you must export it as a .cer format file that  does  not  contain
       the  private  key.  For  more  information  on  creating  management certificates, see the
       following link:

       • Create and Upload a Management Certificate for Azure

   Managing Input Endpoints
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Input  endpoints  are  used  to  manage port access for roles. Because endpoints cannot be
       managed by the Azure Python SDK, Salt Cloud uses  the  API  directly.   With  versions  of
       Python  before  2.7.9, the requests-python package needs to be installed in order for this

   Managing Blob Storage
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Azure storage containers and their contents can be managed with Salt Cloud. This is not as
       elegant  as using one of the other available clients in Windows, but it benefits Linux and
       Unix users, as there are fewer options available on those platforms.

   Blob Storage Configuration
       Blob storage must be configured differently than the standard Azure configuration. Both  a
       storage_account  and  a  storage_key  must  be specified either through the Azure provider
       configuration (in addition to the other Azure configuration) or via the command line.

          storage_account: mystorage
          storage_key: ffhj334fDSGFEGDFGFDewr34fwfsFSDFwe==

   storage_account
       This is one of the storage accounts that is available via the list_storage function.

   storage_key
       Both  a  primary  and  a  secondary  storage_key  can   be   obtained   by   running   the
       show_storage_keys function. Either key may be used.

       should continue before it is broken, between 0 and 60 seconds. This break period  is  only
       used  if it is shorter than the time remaining on the lease. If longer, the time remaining
       on the lease is used. A new lease will not  be  available  before  the  break  period  has
       expired,  but  the lease may be held for longer than the break period. If this header does
       not appear with a break operation, a fixed-duration lease breaks after the remaining lease
       period elapses, and an infinite lease breaks immediately.

   proposed_lease_id
       Optional for acquire, required for change. Proposed lease ID, in a GUID string format.

   maxresults
       Optional.  Specifies  the  maximum  number  of  blobs  to return, including all BlobPrefix
       elements. If the request does not specify maxresults or specifies  a  value  greater  than
       5,000,  the  server will return up to 5,000 items. Setting maxresults to a value less than
       or equal to zero results in error response code 400 (Bad Request).

   include
       Optional. Specifies one or more datasets to include in the response. To specify more  than
       one  of these options on the URI, you must separate each option with a comma. Valid values
       are:

          snapshots:
              Specifies that snapshots should be included in the
              enumeration. Snapshots are listed from oldest to newest in
              the response.
          metadata:
              Specifies that blob metadata be returned in the response.
          uncommittedblobs:
              Specifies that blobs for which blocks have been uploaded,
              but which have not been committed using Put Block List
              (REST API), be included in the response.
          copy:
              Version 2012-02-12 and newer. Specifies that metadata
              related to any current or previous Copy Blob operation
              should be included in the response.

   delimiter
       Optional. When the request includes this parameter, the  operation  returns  a  BlobPrefix
       element  in  the  response body that acts as a placeholder for all blobs whose names begin
       with the same substring up to the appearance of the delimiter character. The delimiter may
       be a single character or a string.

   Getting Started With Azure ARM
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       Azure is a cloud service by Microsoft providing  virtual  machines,  SQL  services,  media
       services,  and  more.  Azure  ARM  (aka,  the Azure Resource Manager) is a next generation
       version of the Azure portal and API. This document describes how  to  use  Salt  Cloud  to
       create a virtual machine on Azure ARM, with Salt installed.

       More information about Azure is located at http://www.windowsazure.com/.

   Installation Tips
       Because  the azure library requires the cryptography library, which is compiled on-the-fly
       by pip, you may need to install the development tools for your operating system.

       Before you install azure with pip, you should make sure that the  required  libraries  are
       installed.

   Debian
       For  Debian  and  Ubuntu, the following command will ensure that the required dependencies
       are installed:

          sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev

   Red Hat
       For Fedora and RHEL-derivatives, the following  command  will  ensure  that  the  required
       dependencies are installed:

          sudo yum install gcc libffi-devel python-devel openssl-devel

   Configuration
       Set up the provider config at /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azurearm.conf:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azurearm.conf

          my-azurearm-config:
            driver: azurearm
            master: salt.example.com
            subscription_id: 01234567-890a-bcde-f012-34567890abdc

            # https://apps.dev.microsoft.com/#/appList
            username: <username>@<subdomain>.onmicrosoft.com
            password: verybadpass
            location: westus
            resource_group: my_rg

            # Optional
            network_resource_group: my_net_rg
            cleanup_disks: True
            cleanup_vhds: True
            cleanup_data_disks: True
            cleanup_interfaces: True
            custom_data: 'This is custom data'
            expire_publisher_cache: 604800  # 7 days

            expire_interface_cache: 3600  # 1 hour
            expire_network_cache: 3600  # 1 hour

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          azure-ubuntu-pass:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: Canonical|UbuntuServer|14.04.5-LTS|14.04.201612050
            size: Standard_D1_v2
            location: eastus
            ssh_username: azureuser
            ssh_password: verybadpass

          azure-ubuntu-key:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: Canonical|UbuntuServer|14.04.5-LTS|14.04.201612050
            size: Standard_D1_v2
            location: eastus
            ssh_username: azureuser
            ssh_publickeyfile: /path/to/ssh_public_key.pub

          azure-win2012:
            provider: my-azure-config
            image: MicrosoftWindowsServer|WindowsServer|2012-R2-Datacenter|latest
            size: Standard_D1_v2
            location: westus
            win_username: azureuser
            win_password: verybadpass

       These  options  are  described  in  more detail below. Once configured, the profile can be
       realized with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p azure-ubuntu newinstance

       This will create an salt minion instance named newinstance in Azure. If  the  command  was
       executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the  instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          salt newinstance test.version

   Profile Options
       The following options are currently available for Azure ARM.

              - 10.1.1.5

   availability_set
       Optional. If set, the VM will be added to the specified availability set.

   volumes
       Optional. A list of dictionaries describing data disks to attach to the  instance  can  be
       specified  using this setting. The data disk dictionaries are passed entirely to the Azure
       DataDisk object, so ad-hoc options can be handled as long as they are valid properties  of
       the object.

          volumes:
          - disk_size_gb: 50
            caching: ReadWrite
          - disk_size_gb: 100
            caching: ReadWrite
            managed_disk:
              storage_account_type: Standard_LRS

   cleanup_disks
       Optional. Default is False. If set to True, disks will be cleaned up when the VM that they
       belong to is deleted.

   cleanup_vhds
       Optional. Default is False. If set to True, VHDs will be cleaned up when the VM  and  disk
       that they belong to are deleted. Requires cleanup_disks to be set to True.

   cleanup_data_disks
       Optional.  Default is False. If set to True, data disks (non-root volumes) will be cleaned
       up whtn the VM that they are attached to is deleted.  Requires cleanup_disks to be set  to
       True.

   cleanup_interfaces
       Optional.  Default  is False. Normally when a VM is deleted, its associated interfaces and
       IPs are retained. This is useful if you expect the deleted VM to  be  recreated  with  the
       same  name  and  network settings. If you would like interfaces and IPs to be deleted when
       their associated VM is deleted, set this to True.

   userdata
       Optional. Any custom cloud data that needs to be specified. How this data is used  depends
       on  the  operating  system  and  image  that  is used. For instance, Linux images that use
       cloud-init will import this data for use with  that  program.  Some  Windows  images  will
       create  a  file  with  a  copy of this data, and others will ignore it. If a Windows image
       creates a file, then the location will depend upon the version of Windows.  This  will  be
       ignored if the userdata_file is specified.

   userdata_file
       Optional.  The path to a file to be read and submitted to Azure as user data.  How this is
       used depends on the operating system that is being deployed. If used, any userdata setting
       will be ignored.

   userdata_sendkeys
       Optional.  Set to True in order to generate salt minion keys and provide them as variables
       to the userdata script when running it through the template  renderer.  The  keys  can  be
       referenced as {{opts['priv_key']}} and {{opts['pub_key']}}.

   userdata_template
       Optional. Enter the renderer, such as jinja, to be used for the userdata script template.

   wait_for_ip_timeout
       Optional.  Default is 600. When waiting for a VM to be created, Salt Cloud will attempt to
       connect to the VM's IP address until it starts  responding.  This  setting  specifies  the
       maximum time to wait for a response.

   wait_for_ip_interval
       Optional. Default is 10. How long to wait between attempts to connect to the VM's IP.

   wait_for_ip_interval_multiplier
       Optional. Default is 1. Increase the interval by this multiplier after each request; helps
       with throttling.

   expire_publisher_cache
       Optional. Default is 604800. When fetching image data using --list-images, a number of web
       calls  need  to  be  made to the Azure ARM API.  This is normally very fast when performed
       using a VM that exists inside Azure itself, but  can  be  very  slow  when  made  from  an
       external connection.

       By  default,  the  publisher data will be cached, and only updated every 604800 seconds (7
       days). If you need the publisher cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this
       setting. Setting it to 0 will turn off the publisher cache.

   expire_offer_cache
       Optional. Default is 518400. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By default, the offer data will be cached, and only updated every 518400 seconds (6 days).
       If you need the offer cache to be updated at a different frequency, change  this  setting.
       Setting it to 0 will turn off the publiser cache.

   expire_sku_cache
       Optional. Default is 432000. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default,  the sku data will be cached, and only updated every 432000 seconds (5 days).
       If you need the sku cache to be updated at a different  frequency,  change  this  setting.
       Setting it to 0 will turn off the sku cache.

   expire_version_cache
       Optional. Default is 345600. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default,  the  version  data  will be cached, and only updated every 345600 seconds (4
       days). If you need the version cache to be updated at a different frequency,  change  this
       setting. Setting it to 0 will turn off the version cache.

   expire_group_cache
       Optional. Default is 14400. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default,  the resource group data will be cached, and only updated every 14400 seconds
       (4 hours). If you need the resource group cache to be updated at  a  different  frequency,
       change this setting. Setting it to 0 will turn off the resource group cache.

   expire_interface_cache
       Optional. Default is 3600. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By  default,  the  interface  data  will be cached, and only updated every 3600 seconds (1
       hour). If you need the interface cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this
       setting. Setting it to 0 will turn off the interface cache.

   expire_network_cache
       Optional. Default is 3600. See expire_publisher_cache for details on why this exists.

       By default, the network data will be cached, and only updated every 3600 seconds (1 hour).
       If you need the network cache to be updated at a different frequency, change this setting.
       Setting it to 0 will turn off the network cache.

   Other Options
       Other options relevant to Azure ARM.

   storage_account
       Required for actions involving an Azure storage account.

   storage_key
       Required for actions involving an Azure storage account.

   Show Instance
       This  action  is  a  thin  wrapper around --full-query, which displays details on a single
       instance only. In an environment with several machines, this will save a user from  having

   Getting Started with CloudStack
       CloudStack  is  one  the most popular cloud projects. It's an open source project to build
       public and/or private clouds. You can use Salt Cloud to launch CloudStack instances.

   Dependencies
       • Libcloud >= 0.13.2

   Configuration
       Using Salt for CloudStack, requires an API key and a secret key along with the API address
       endpoint information.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          exoscale:
            driver: cloudstack
            host: api.exoscale.com
            path: /compute
            apikey: EXOAPIKEY
            secretkey: EXOSECRETKEYINYOURACCOUNT

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set    up    an    initial    profile    at    /etc/salt/cloud.profiles    or    in    the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          exoscale-ubuntu:
            provider: exoscale-config

            size: Small
            location: ch-gva-2
            ssh_username: ubuntu

       Locations can be obtained using the --list-locations option for the salt-cloud command:

   Getting Started With DigitalOcean
       DigitalOcean is a public cloud host that specializes in Linux instances.

   Configuration
       Using Salt for DigitalOcean requires a  personal_access_token,  an  ssh_key_file,  and  at
       least  one  SSH  key  name in ssh_key_names. More ssh_key_names can be added by separating
       each key with a comma. The personal_access_token can be  found  in  the  DigitalOcean  web
       interface  in the "Apps & API" section. The SSH key name can be found under the "SSH Keys"
       section.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            personal_access_token: xxx
            ssh_key_file: /path/to/ssh/key/file
            ssh_key_names: my-key-name,my-key-name-2
            location: New York 1

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was  made  to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud
          module  that  provides  the  underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while
          cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to provider  configurations  that  you
          define.

            provider: my-digitalocean-config
            image: 10.2
            size: 512MB
            ssh_username: freebsd

   userdata_file
       New in version 2016.11.6.

       Use  userdata_file  to  specify  the  userdata  file  to upload for use with cloud-init if
       available.

          my-openstack-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/cloud-init/packages.yml

          my-do-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/cloud-init/packages.yml
            userdata_template: jinja

       If no userdata_template is set in the cloud profile, then the master configuration will be
       checked  for  a  userdata_template  value.  If this is not set, then no templating will be
       performed on the userdata_file.

       To disable templating in a cloud profile when a userdata_template  has  been  set  in  the
       master configuration file, simply set userdata_template to False in the cloud profile:

          my-do-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/cloud-init/packages.yml
            userdata_template: False

   Miscellaneous Information
       NOTE:
          DigitalOcean's  concept  of Applications is nothing more than a pre-configured instance
          (same as a normal Droplet). You will find examples such Docker 0.7 Ubuntu 13.04 x64 and
          Wordpress  on Ubuntu 12.10 when using the --list-images option. These names can be used
          just like the rest of the standard instances when specifying  an  image  in  the  cloud
          profile configuration.

       NOTE:
          If  your  domain's  DNS is managed with DigitalOcean, and your minion name matches your
          DigitalOcean managed DNS domain, you can automatically create A  and  AAA  records  for
          newly  created  droplets.  Use  create_dns_record:  True in your config to enable this.
          Adding delete_dns_record: True to also delete records when a droplet  is  destroyed  is
          optional.  Due  to  limitations  in  salt-cloud  design, the destroy code does not have
          access to the  VM  config  data.  WHETHER  YOU  ADD  create_dns_record:  True  OR  NOT,
          salt-cloud  WILL  attempt  to  delete your DNS records if the minion name matches. This
          will prevent advertising any recycled IP addresses for destroyed minions.

       NOTE:
          If you need to perform the bootstrap using the local interface for droplets,  this  can
          be  done  by  setting  ssh_interface: private in your config. By default the salt-cloud
          script would run on  the  public  interface  however  if  firewall  is  preventing  the
          connection  to  the Droplet over the public interface you might need to set this option
          to connect via private interface. Also, to use this  feature  private_networking:  True
          must be set in the config.

       NOTE:
          Additional documentation is available from DigitalOcean.

   Getting Started With Dimension Data Cloud
       Dimension Data are a global IT Services company and form part of the NTT Group.  Dimension
       Data provide IT-as-a-Service to  customers  around  the  globe  on  their  cloud  platform
       (Compute  as  a  Service). The CaaS service is available either on one of the public cloud
       instances or as a private instance on premises.

       http://cloud.dimensiondata.com/

       CaaS has its own non-standard API , SaltStack provides a wrapper on top of this  API  with
       common  methods  with other IaaS solutions and Public cloud providers.  Therefore, you can
       use the Dimension Data module to communicate with both the public and private clouds.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python apache-libcloud and netaddr library to be installed.

   Configuration
       When you instantiate a driver you need to pass  the  following  arguments  to  the  driver
       constructor:

       • user_id - Your Dimension Data Cloud username

       • key - Your Dimension Data Cloud password

       • region - The region key, one of the possible region keys

       Possible regions:

       • dd-na : Dimension Data North America (USA)

       • dd-eu : Dimension Data Europe

       • dd-af : Dimension Data Africa

       • dd-au : Dimension Data Australia

       • dd-latam : Dimension Data Latin America

       • dd-ap : Dimension Data Asia Pacific

       • dd-canada : Dimension Data Canada region

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-dimensiondata-config:
            user_id: my_username
            key: myPassword!
            region: dd-na
            driver: dimensiondata

       NOTE:
          In  version  2015.8.0, the provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed
          to driver. This change was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that  is
          used  in  cloud profile definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver to refer
          to the Salt cloud module that provides the underlying functionality  to  connect  to  a
          cloud  host,  while  cloud  profiles  continue  to  use  provider  to refer to provider
          configurations that you define.

       NOTE:
          Dimension Data Cloud REST API documentation is available from Dimension Data MCP 2.

   Getting Started With AWS EC2
       Amazon  EC2 is a very widely used public cloud platform and one of the core platforms Salt
       Cloud has been built to support.

       Previously, the suggested driver for AWS EC2 was the aws driver. This has been  deprecated
       in  favor  of  the ec2 driver. Configuration using the old aws driver will still function,
       but that driver is no longer in active development.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Configuration
       The following example illustrates some of the options that can be  set.  These  parameters
       are discussed in more detail below.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-ec2-southeast-public-ips:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set up grains information, which will be common for all nodes
            # using this provider
            grains:
              node_type: broker
              release: 1.0.1

            # Specify whether to use public or private IP for deploy script.
            #
            # Valid options are:
            #     private_ips - The salt-cloud command is run inside the EC2
            #     public_ips - The salt-cloud command is run outside of EC2
            #
            ssh_interface: public_ips

            # Optionally configure the Windows credential validation number of
            # retries and delay between retries.  This defaults to 10 retries
            # with a one second delay betwee retries
            win_deploy_auth_retries: 10
            win_deploy_auth_retry_delay: 1

            # Set the EC2 access credentials (see below)
            #
            id: 'use-instance-role-credentials'
            key: 'use-instance-role-credentials'

            # If 'role_arn' is specified the above credentials are used to
            # to assume to the role. By default, role_arn is set to None.
            role_arn: arn:aws:iam::012345678910:role/SomeRoleName

            # Make sure this key is owned by corresponding user (default 'salt') with permissions 0400.

            private_key: /etc/salt/my_test_key.pem
            keyname: my_test_key

            #
            location: ap-southeast-1
            availability_zone: ap-southeast-1b

            # Configure which user to use to run the deploy script. This setting is
            # dependent upon the AMI that is used to deploy. It is usually safer to
            # configure this individually in a profile, than globally. Typical users
            # are:

            driver: ec2

          my-ec2-southeast-private-ips:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #

            # Specify whether to use public or private IP for deploy script.
            #
            # Valid options are:
            #     private_ips - The salt-master is also hosted with EC2
            #     public_ips - The salt-master is hosted outside of EC2
            #
            ssh_interface: private_ips

            # Optionally configure the Windows credential validation number of
            # retries and delay between retries.  This defaults to 10 retries
            # with a one second delay betwee retries
            win_deploy_auth_retries: 10
            win_deploy_auth_retry_delay: 1

            # Set the EC2 access credentials (see below)
            #
            id: 'use-instance-role-credentials'
            key: 'use-instance-role-credentials'

            # Make sure this key is owned by root with permissions 0400.
            #
            private_key: /etc/salt/my_test_key.pem
            keyname: my_test_key

            # This one should NOT be specified if VPC was not configured in AWS to be
            # the default. It might cause an error message which says that network
            # interfaces and an instance-level security groups may not be specified
            # on the same request.
            #
            securitygroup: default

            # Optionally configure default region
            #
            location: ap-southeast-1
            availability_zone: ap-southeast-1b

            # Configure which user to use to run the deploy script. This setting is

            # Ubuntu       -> ubuntu
            #
            ssh_username: ec2-user

            # Optionally add an IAM profile
            iam_profile: 'my other profile name'

            driver: ec2

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Access Credentials
       The id and key settings may be found in the Security Credentials area of the  AWS  Account
       page:

       https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/securityCredentials

       Both  are  located  in the Access Credentials area of the page, under the Access Keys tab.
       The id setting is labeled Access Key ID, and the key setting is labeled Secret Access Key.

       Note: if either id or key is set to 'use-instance-role-credentials'  it  is  assumed  that
       Salt  is  running  on an AWS instance, and the instance role credentials will be retrieved
       and used.  Since both the id and key are required parameters for the AWS ec2 provider,  it
       is recommended to set both to 'use-instance-role-credentials' for this functionality.

       A  "static" and "permanent" Access Key ID and Secret Key can be specified, but this is not
       recommended.  Instance role keys are rotated on a regular basis, and are  the  recommended
       method of specifying AWS credentials.

   Windows Deploy Timeouts
       For  Windows  instances,  it may take longer than normal for the instance to be ready.  In
       these   circumstances,   the   provider   configuration   can   be   configured   with   a
       win_deploy_auth_retries  and/or a win_deploy_auth_retry_delay setting, which default to 10
       retries and a one second delay between retries.  These  retries  and  timeouts  relate  to
       validating the Administrator password once AWS provides the credentials via the AWS API.

   Key Pairs
       In order to create an instance with Salt installed and configured, a key pair will need to
       be created. This can be done in the EC2 Management Console, in the Key Pairs  area.  These
       key  pairs are unique to a specific region. Keys in the us-east-1 region can be configured
       at:

       https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#s=KeyPairs

       Keys in the us-west-1 region can be configured at

       https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-west-1#s=KeyPairs

       ...and so on. When creating a key pair, the browser will prompt to download  a  pem  file.
       This  file must be placed in a directory accessible by Salt Cloud, with permissions set to
       either 0400 or 0600.

   Security Groups
       An instance on EC2 needs to belong to a security group. Like key pairs, these  are  unique
       to  a  specific  region. These are also configured in the EC2 Management Console. Security
       groups for the us-east-1 region can be configured at:

       https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home?region=us-east-1#s=SecurityGroups

       ...and so on.

       A security group defines  firewall  rules  which  an  instance  will  adhere  to.  If  the
       salt-master  is  configured  outside  of  EC2,  the  security group must open the SSH port
       (usually port 22) in order for Salt Cloud to install Salt.

   IAM Profile
       Amazon EC2 instances support the concept of  an  instance  profile,  which  is  a  logical
       container for the IAM role. At the time that you launch an EC2 instance, you can associate
       the instance with an instance profile, which in turn corresponds  to  the  IAM  role.  Any
       software  that  runs  on  the  EC2  instance  is  able to access AWS using the permissions
       associated with the IAM role.

       Scaffolding the profile is a 2-step configuration process:

       1. Configure an IAM Role from the IAM Management Console.

       2. Attach this role to a new profile. It can be done with the AWS CLI:

                 > aws iam create-instance-profile --instance-profile-name PROFILE_NAME
                 > aws iam add-role-to-instance-profile --instance-profile-name PROFILE_NAME --role-name ROLE_NAME

       Once the profile is created,  you  can  use  the  PROFILE_NAME  to  configure  your  cloud
       profiles.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

              - { size: 10, device: /dev/sdg, type: io1, iops: 1000 }
              - { size: 10, device: /dev/sdh, type: io1, iops: 1000 }
            tag: {'Environment': 'production', 'Role': 'database'}
            sync_after_install: grains

       The profile can now be realized with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p base_ec2 ami.example.com
          # salt-cloud -p base_ec2_public ami.example.com
          # salt-cloud -p base_ec2_private ami.example.com

       This will create an instance named ami.example.com in EC2. The minion that is installed on
       this instance will have an id of ami.example.com. If  the  command  was  executed  on  the
       salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the  instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          # salt 'ami.example.com' test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for EC2:

          # Set the EC2 login data
          my-ec2-config:
            id: HJGRYCILJLKJYG
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            keyname: test
            securitygroup: quick-start
            private_key: /root/test.pem
            driver: ec2

   Optional Settings
       EC2 allows a userdata file to be passed to the instance to be created. This  functionality
       was added to Salt in the 2015.5.0 release.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file

       NOTE:
          From  versions  2016.11.0  and  2016.11.3,  this  file  was passed through the master's
          renderer to template it. However, this caused issues with non-YAML data, so  templating
          is   no   longer   performed   by  default.   To  template  the  userdata_file,  add  a
          userdata_template option to the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file
                userdata_template: jinja

          If no userdata_template is set in the cloud profile, then the master configuration will
          be  checked for a userdata_template value.  If this is not set, then no templating will
          be performed on the userdata_file.

          To disable templating in a cloud profile when a userdata_template has been set  in  the
          master configuration file, simply set userdata_template to False in the cloud profile:

              my-ec2-config:
                # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
                userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file
                userdata_template: False

       EC2  allows  a  location to be set for servers to be deployed in. Availability zones exist
       inside regions, and may be added to increase specificity.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Optionally configure default region
            location: ap-southeast-1
            availability_zone: ap-southeast-1b

       EC2 instances can have a public or private IP, or both. When an instance is deployed, Salt
       Cloud  needs  to  log into it via SSH to run the deploy script.  By default, the public IP
       will be used for this. If the salt-cloud command is run from  another  EC2  instance,  the
       private IP should be used.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Specify whether to use public or private IP for deploy script
            # private_ips or public_ips
            ssh_interface: public_ips

       Many  EC2  instances  do  not  allow  remote access to the root user by default.  Instead,
       another user must be used to run the deploy  script  using  sudo.  Some  common  usernames
       include  ec2-user  (for  Amazon  Linux),  ubuntu  (for  Ubuntu instances), admin (official
       Debian) and bitnami (for images provided by Bitnami).

          my-ec2-config:
            # Configure which user to use to run the deploy script
            ssh_username: ec2-user

       Multiple usernames can be provided, in which case Salt Cloud will  attempt  to  guess  the
       correct username. This is mostly useful in the main configuration file:

          my-ec2-config:
            ssh_username:
              - ec2-user
              - ubuntu
              - admin
              - bitnami

       Multiple security groups can also be specified in the same fashion:

          my-ec2-config:
            securitygroup:
              - default
              - extra

       EC2  instances  can  be  added  to an AWS Placement Group by specifying the placementgroup
       option:

          my-ec2-config:
            placementgroup: my-aws-placement-group

       Your instances may optionally make use of EC2 Spot Instances. The following  example  will
       request  that spot instances be used and your maximum bid will be $0.10. Keep in mind that
       different spot prices may be needed based on the current value of the various EC2 instance
       sizes.  You  can  check  current  and  past  spot  instance pricing via the EC2 API or AWS
       Console.

          my-ec2-config:
            spot_config:
              spot_price: 0.10

       You can optionally specify tags to apply  to  the  EC2  spot  instance  request.   A  spot
       instance  request  itself  is an object in AWS. The following example will set two tags on
       the spot instance request.

          my-ec2-config:
            spot_config:
              spot_price: 0.10
              tag:
                tag0: value
                tag1: value

       By default, the spot instance type is set to 'one-time', meaning it will be launched  and,
       if  it's  ever terminated for whatever reason, it will not be recreated. If you would like
       your spot instances to be relaunched after a termination (by you or AWS), set the type  to
       'persistent'.

       NOTE:  Spot  instances  are a great way to save a bit of money, but you do run the risk of
       losing your spot instances if the current price for the  instance  size  goes  above  your
       maximum bid.

       The  following  parameters  may  be set in the cloud configuration file to control various
       aspects of the spot instance launching:

       • wait_for_spot_timeout: seconds  to  wait  before  giving  up  on  spot  instance  launch
         (default=600)

       • wait_for_spot_interval:  seconds  to  wait in between polling requests to determine if a
         spot instance is available (default=30)

       • wait_for_spot_interval_multiplier: a multiplier  to  add  to  the  interval  in  between
         requests, which is useful if AWS is throttling your requests (default=1)

       • wait_for_spot_max_failures:  maximum  number  of  failures before giving up on launching
         your spot instance (default=10)

       If you find that you're being throttled by AWS while polling for spot instances,  you  can
       set  the  following  in  your  core  cloud configuration file that will double the polling
       interval after each request to AWS.

          wait_for_spot_interval: 1
          wait_for_spot_interval_multiplier: 2

       See the AWS Spot Instances documentation for more information.

       Block device mappings enable you to specify  additional  EBS  volumes  or  instance  store
       volumes  when  the  instance  is  launched.  This  setting is also available on each cloud
       profile. Note that the number of  instance  stores  varies  by  instance  type.   If  more
       mappings are provided than are supported by the instance type, mappings will be created in
       the order provided and additional mappings will be ignored. Consult the AWS  documentation
       for a listing of the available instance stores, and device names.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                VirtualName: ephemeral0
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdc
                VirtualName: ephemeral1

       You  can  also  use  block  device  mappings  to change the size of the root device at the
       provisioning time. For example, assuming the root device is '/dev/sda', you  can  set  its
       size to 100G by using the following configuration.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sda
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 100
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.SnapshotId: dummy0
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                # required for devices > 2TB
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 3001

       Tagging  of  block  devices  can  be  set on a per device basis. For example, you may have
       multiple devices defined in your block_device_mappings structure. You have the  option  to
       set tags on any of one device or all of them as shown in the following configuration.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sda
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 100
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                tag:
                  tag0: myserver
                  tag1: value
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 3001
                tag:
                  tagX: value
                  tagY: value

       You  can configure any AWS valid tag name as shown in the above example, including 'Name'.
       If you do not configure the tag 'Name', it will be automatically created with a value  set
       to the virtual machine name. If you configure the tag 'Name', the value you configure will
       be used rather than defaulting to the virtual machine  name  as  shown  in  the  following
       configuration.

          my-ec2-config:
            block_device_mappings:
              - DeviceName: /dev/sda
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 100
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                tag:
                  Name: myserver
                  tag0: value
                  tag1: value
              - DeviceName: /dev/sdb
                Ebs.VolumeType: gp2
                Ebs.VolumeSize: 3001
                tag:
                  Name: customvalue
                  tagX: value
                  tagY: value

       Existing  EBS  volumes  may  also  be  attached (not created) to your instances or you can
       create new EBS volumes based on EBS snapshots. To simply attach an existing volume use the
       volume_id parameter.

          device: /dev/xvdj
          volume_id: vol-12345abcd

       Or, to create a volume from an EBS snapshot, use the snapshot parameter.

          device: /dev/xvdj
          snapshot: snap-abcd12345

       Note that volume_id will take precedence over the snapshot parameter.

       Tags can be set once an instance has been launched.

          my-ec2-config:
              tag:
                  tag0: value
                  tag1: value

   Setting up a Master inside EC2
       Salt  Cloud  can configure Salt Masters as well as Minions. Use the make_master setting to
       use this functionality.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Optionally install a Salt Master in addition to the Salt Minion
            make_master: True

       When creating a Salt Master inside EC2 with make_master: True, or when the Salt Master  is
       already  located  and  configured  inside EC2, by default, minions connect to the master's
       public IP address during Salt Cloud's provisioning process. Depending on how your security
       groups  are defined, the minions may or may not be able to communicate with the master. In
       order to use  the  master's  private  IP  in  EC2  instead  of  the  public  IP,  set  the
       salt_interface to private_ips.

          my-ec2-config:
            # Optionally set the IP configuration to private_ips
            salt_interface: private_ips

   Modify EC2 Tags
       One  of  the features of EC2 is the ability to tag resources. In fact, under the hood, the
       names given to EC2 instances by salt-cloud are actually just stored as a tag called  Name.
       Salt Cloud has the ability to manage these tags:

          salt-cloud -a get_tags mymachine
          salt-cloud -a set_tags mymachine tag1=somestuff tag2='Other stuff'
          salt-cloud -a del_tags mymachine tag1,tag2,tag3

       It  is  possible  to  manage  tags  on  any  resource  in EC2 with a Resource ID, not just
       instances:

          salt-cloud -f get_tags my_ec2 resource_id=af5467ba
          salt-cloud -f set_tags my_ec2 resource_id=af5467ba tag1=somestuff
          salt-cloud -f del_tags my_ec2 resource_id=af5467ba tags=tag1,tag2,tag3

   Rename EC2 Instances
       As mentioned above, EC2 instances are named via a tag. However, renaming  an  instance  by
       renaming  its  tag  will  cause  the salt keys to mismatch. A rename function exists which
       renames both the instance, and the salt keys.

          salt-cloud -a rename mymachine newname=yourmachine

   Rename on Destroy
       When instances on EC2 are destroyed, there will be a lag between the time that the  action
       is  sent,  and the time that Amazon cleans up the instance. During this time, the instance
       still retains a Name tag, which will cause a collision if the creation of an instance with
       the  same  name is attempted before the cleanup occurs. In order to avoid such collisions,
       Salt Cloud can be configured to rename instances when they are  destroyed.  The  new  name
       will look something like:

          myinstance-DEL20f5b8ad4eb64ed88f2c428df80a1a0c

       In order to enable this, add rename_on_destroy line to the main configuration file:

          my-ec2-config:
            rename_on_destroy: True

   Listing Images
       Normally,  images can be queried on a cloud provider by passing the --list-images argument
       to Salt Cloud. This still holds true for EC2:

          salt-cloud --list-images my-ec2-config

       However, the full list of images on EC2 is  extremely  large,  and  querying  all  of  the
       available  images  may  cause  Salt  Cloud  to behave as if frozen. Therefore, the default
       behavior of this option may be modified, by adding  an  owner  argument  to  the  provider
       configuration:

          owner: aws-marketplace

       The  possible  values for this setting are amazon, aws-marketplace, self, <AWS account ID>
       or all. The default setting is amazon.  Take note that all and aws-marketplace  may  cause
       Salt Cloud to appear as if it is freezing, as it tries to handle the large amount of data.

       It  is  also possible to perform this query using different settings without modifying the
       configuration files. To do this, call the avail_images function directly:

          salt-cloud -f avail_images my-ec2-config owner=aws-marketplace

   EC2 Images
       The following are lists of available AMI images, generally sorted by OS. These  lists  are
       on 3rd-party websites, are not managed by Salt Stack in any way. They are provided here as
       a reference for those who are interested, and contain no  warranty  (express  or  implied)
       from  anyone  affiliated  with  Salt  Stack.  Most of them have never been used, much less
       tested, by the Salt Stack team.

       • Arch LinuxFreeBSDFedoraCentOSUbuntuDebianOmniOSAll Images on Amazon

       NOTE: If image of a profile does not start with ami-, latest image with that name will  be
       used.  For  example,  to  create  a CentOS 7 profile, instead of using the AMI like image:
       ami-1caef165, we can use its name like image: 'CentOS Linux 7 x86_64 HVM EBS ENA 1803_01'.
       We can also use a pattern like below to get the latest CentOS 7:

          profile-id:
            provider: provider-name
            subnetid: subnet-XXXXXXXX
            image: 'CentOS Linux 7 x86_64 HVM EBS *'
            size: m1.medium
            ssh_username: centos
            securitygroupid:
              - sg-XXXXXXXX
            securitygroupname:
              - AnotherSecurityGroup
              - AndThirdSecurityGroup

   show_image
       This is a function that describes an AMI on EC2. This will give insight as to the defaults
       that will be applied to an instance using a particular AMI.

          $ salt-cloud -f show_image ec2 image=ami-fd20ad94

   show_instance
       This action is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which  displays  details  on  a  single
       instance  only. In an environment with several machines, this will save a user from having
       to sort through all instance data, just to examine a single instance.

          $ salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   ebs_optimized
       This argument enables switching of the EbsOptimized  setting  which  default  to  'false'.
       Indicates  whether  the  instance  is  optimized  for  EBS I/O. This optimization provides
       dedicated throughput to Amazon EBS and an optimized configuration stack to provide optimal
       Amazon  EBS  I/O  performance.  This optimization isn't available with all instance types.
       Additional usage charges apply when using an EBS-optimized instance.

       This setting can be added to the profile or map file for an instance.

       If set to True, this setting will enable an instance to be EbsOptimized

          ebs_optimized: True

       This can also be set as a cloud provider setting in the EC2 cloud configuration:

          my-ec2-config:
            ebs_optimized: True

   del_root_vol_on_destroy
       This argument overrides the default DeleteOnTermination setting in the  AMI  for  the  EBS
       root  volumes  for  an  instance.  Many  AMIs  contain  'false' as a default, resulting in
       orphaned volumes in the EC2 account, which may unknowingly be charged to the account. This
       setting can be added to the profile or map file for an instance.

       If set, this setting will apply to the root EBS volume

          del_root_vol_on_destroy: True

       This can also be set as a cloud provider setting in the EC2 cloud configuration:

          my-ec2-config:
            del_root_vol_on_destroy: True

   del_all_vols_on_destroy
       This  argument  overrides  the  default  DeleteOnTermination  setting  in  the AMI for the
       not-root EBS volumes for an instance. Many AMIs contain 'false' as a default, resulting in
       orphaned volumes in the EC2 account, which may unknowingly be charged to the account. This
       setting can be added to the profile or map file for an instance.

       If set, this setting will apply to any (non-root) volumes that were created by  salt-cloud
       using the 'volumes' setting.

       The  volumes  will not be deleted under the following conditions * If a volume is detached
       before terminating the instance * If a volume is created without this setting and attached
       to the instance

          del_all_vols_on_destroy: True

       This can also be set as a cloud provider setting in the EC2 cloud configuration:

          my-ec2-config:
            del_all_vols_on_destroy: True

       The  setting  for  this may be changed on all volumes of an existing instance using one of
       the following commands:

          salt-cloud -a delvol_on_destroy myinstance
          salt-cloud -a keepvol_on_destroy myinstance
          salt-cloud -a show_delvol_on_destroy myinstance

       The setting for this may be changed on a volume on an existing instance using one  of  the
       following commands:

          salt-cloud -a delvol_on_destroy myinstance device=/dev/sda1
          salt-cloud -a delvol_on_destroy myinstance volume_id=vol-1a2b3c4d
          salt-cloud -a keepvol_on_destroy myinstance device=/dev/sda1
          salt-cloud -a keepvol_on_destroy myinstance volume_id=vol-1a2b3c4d
          salt-cloud -a show_delvol_on_destroy myinstance device=/dev/sda1
          salt-cloud -a show_delvol_on_destroy myinstance volume_id=vol-1a2b3c4d

   EC2 Termination Protection
       EC2  allows  the user to enable and disable termination protection on a specific instance.
       An instance with this protection enabled cannot  be  destroyed.  The  EC2  driver  adds  a
       show_term_protect action to the regular EC2 functionality.

          salt-cloud -a show_term_protect mymachine
          salt-cloud -a enable_term_protect mymachine
          salt-cloud -a disable_term_protect mymachine

   Alternate Endpoint
       Normally,  EC2  endpoints  are  build  using the region and the service_url. The resulting
       endpoint would follow this pattern:

          ec2.<region>.<service_url>

       This results in an endpoint that looks like:

          ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

       There are other projects that support an EC2 compatibility layer, which this  scheme  does
       not  account  for.  This can be overridden by specifying the endpoint directly in the main
       cloud configuration file:

          my-ec2-config:
            endpoint: myendpoint.example.com:1138/services/Cloud

   Volume Management
       The EC2 driver has several functions and actions for management of EBS volumes.

   Creating Volumes
       A volume may be created, independent of an instance. A zone must be specified.  A size  or
       a  snapshot  may be specified (in GiB). If neither is given, a default size of 10 GiB will
       be used. If a snapshot is given, the size of the snapshot will be used.

       The following parameters may also be set (when providing a snapshot OR size):

       • type: choose between standard (magnetic disk), gp2 (SSD),  or  io1  (provisioned  IOPS).
         (default=standard)

       • iops:  the  number  of  IOPS  (only applicable to io1 volumes) (default varies on volume
         size)

       • encrypted: enable encryption on the volume (default=false)

          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 zone=us-east-1b
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 zone=us-east-1b size=10
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 zone=us-east-1b snapshot=snap12345678
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 size=10 type=standard
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 size=10 type=gp2
          salt-cloud -f create_volume ec2 size=10 type=io1 iops=1000

   Attaching Volumes
       Unattached volumes may be attached to an instance. The following values are required; name
       or instance_id, volume_id, and device.

          salt-cloud -a attach_volume myinstance volume_id=vol-12345 device=/dev/sdb1

   Show a Volume
       The details about an existing volume may be retrieved.

          salt-cloud -a show_volume myinstance volume_id=vol-12345
          salt-cloud -f show_volume ec2 volume_id=vol-12345

   Detaching Volumes
       An existing volume may be detached from an instance.

          salt-cloud -a detach_volume myinstance volume_id=vol-12345

   Deleting Volumes
       A volume that is not attached to an instance may be deleted.

          salt-cloud -f delete_volume ec2 volume_id=vol-12345

   Managing Key Pairs
       The EC2 driver has the ability to manage key pairs.

   Creating a Key Pair
       A  key pair is required in order to create an instance. When creating a key pair with this
       function, the return data will contain a copy of the private key.  This private key is not
       stored  by  Amazon,  will  not  be  obtainable  past  this  point,  and  should  be stored
       immediately.

          salt-cloud -f create_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair

   Importing a Key Pair
          salt-cloud -f import_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair file=/path/to/id_rsa.pub

   Show a Key Pair
       This function will show the details related to a key pair, not including the  private  key
       itself (which is not stored by Amazon).

          salt-cloud -f show_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair

   Delete a Key Pair
       This function removes the key pair from Amazon.

          salt-cloud -f delete_keypair ec2 keyname=mykeypair

   Launching instances into a VPC
   Simple launching into a VPC
       In  the  amazon  web  interface, identify the id or the name of the subnet into which your
       image should be created. Then, edit your cloud.profiles file like so:-

          profile-id:
            provider: provider-name
            subnetid: subnet-XXXXXXXX
            image: ami-XXXXXXXX
            size: m1.medium
            ssh_username: ubuntu
            securitygroupid:
              - sg-XXXXXXXX
            securitygroupname:
              - AnotherSecurityGroup
              - AndThirdSecurityGroup

       Note that  'subnetid'  takes  precedence  over  'subnetname',  but  'securitygroupid'  and
       'securitygroupname'  are  merged  together to generate a single list for SecurityGroups of
       instances.

   Specifying interface properties
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       Launching into a VPC allows you to specify more complex  configurations  for  the  network
       interfaces of your virtual machines, for example:-

          profile-id:
            provider: provider-name
            image: ami-XXXXXXXX
            size: m1.medium
            ssh_username: ubuntu

            # Do not include either 'subnetid', 'subnetname', 'securitygroupid' or
            # 'securitygroupname' here if you are going to manually specify
            # interface configuration
            #
            network_interfaces:
              - DeviceIndex: 0
                SubnetId: subnet-XXXXXXXX
                SecurityGroupId:
                  - sg-XXXXXXXX

                # Uncomment this line if you would like to set an explicit private
                # IP address for the ec2 instance
                #
                # PrivateIpAddress: 192.168.1.66

                # Uncomment this to associate an existing Elastic IP Address with
                # this network interface:
                #
                # associate_eip: eipalloc-XXXXXXXX

                # You can allocate more than one IP address to an interface. Use the
                # 'ip addr list' command to see them.
                #
                # SecondaryPrivateIpAddressCount: 2

                # Uncomment this to allocate a new Elastic IP Address to this
                # interface (will be associated with the primary private ip address
                # of the interface
                #
                # allocate_new_eip: True

                # Uncomment this instead to allocate a new Elastic IP Address to
                # both the primary private ip address and each of the secondary ones
                #
                allocate_new_eips: True

                # Uncomment this if you're creating NAT instances. Allows an instance
                # to accept IP packets with destinations other than itself.
                # SourceDestCheck: False

              - DeviceIndex: 1
                subnetname: XXXXXXXX-Subnet
                securitygroupname:
                  - XXXXXXXX-SecurityGroup
                  - YYYYYYYY-SecurityGroup

       Note  that  it  is  an  error  to  assign a 'subnetid', 'subnetname', 'securitygroupid' or
       'securitygroupname' to a profile where the interfaces are manually configured  like  this.
       These are both really properties of each network interface, not of the machine itself.

   Getting Started With GoGrid
       GoGrid is a public cloud host that supports Linux and Windows.

   Configuration
       To  use Salt Cloud with GoGrid log into the GoGrid web interface and create an API key. Do
       this by clicking on "My Account" and then going to the API Keys tab.

       The  apikey  and  the  sharedsecret  configuration  parameters  need  to  be  set  in  the
       configuration file to enable interfacing with GoGrid:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-gogrid-config:
            driver: gogrid
            apikey: asdff7896asdh789
            sharedsecret: saltybacon

       NOTE:
          A Note about using Map files with GoGrid:

          Due  to limitations in the GoGrid API, instances cannot be provisioned in parallel with
          the GoGrid driver. Map files will work with GoGrid, but the -P argument should  not  be
          used on maps referencing GoGrid instances.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set    up    an    initial    profile    at    /etc/salt/cloud.profiles    or    in    the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          gogrid_512:
            provider: my-gogrid-config
            size: 512MB
            image: CentOS 6.2 (64-bit) w/ None

       Sizes can be obtained using the --list-sizes option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-sizes my-gogrid-config
          my-gogrid-config:

                      bandwidth:
                          None
                      disk:
                          30
                      driver:
                      get_uuid:
                      id:

   Assigning IPs
       New in version 2015.8.0.

       The  GoGrid  API  allows  IP  addresses  to be manually assigned. Salt Cloud supports this
       functionality by allowing an  IP  address  to  be  specified  using  the  assign_public_ip
       argument.  This  likely  makes  the  most sense inside a map file, but it may also be used
       inside a profile.

          gogrid_512:
            provider: my-gogrid-config
            size: 512MB
            image: CentOS 6.2 (64-bit) w/ None
            assign_public_ip: 11.38.257.42

   Getting Started With Google Compute Engine
       Google Compute Engine (GCE) is Google-infrastructure as a service that lets you  run  your
       large-scale computing workloads on virtual machines.  This document covers how to use Salt
       Cloud to provision and manage your virtual machines hosted within Google's infrastructure.

       You  can  find  out  more  about  GCE  and  other  Google  Cloud  Platform   services   at
       https://cloud.google.com.

   Dependencies
       • LibCloud >= 1.0.0

       Changed in version 2017.7.0.

       • A Google Cloud Platform account with Compute Engine enabled

       • A registered Service Account for authorization

       • Oh, and obviously you'll need salt

   Google Compute Engine Setup
       1. Sign up for Google Cloud Platform

          Go  to https://cloud.google.com and use your Google account to sign up for Google Cloud
          Platform and complete the guided instructions.

       2. Create a Project

          Next, go to the console at https://cloud.google.com/console and create a  new  Project.
          Make  sure  to  select  your  new  Project if you are not automatically directed to the
          Project.

          Projects are a way of grouping together related users, services, and billing.  You  may
          opt  to  create  multiple  Projects  and  the  remaining  instructions  will need to be
          completed for each Project if you wish to use GCE and Salt Cloud to manage your virtual
          machines.

       3. Enable the Google Compute Engine service

          In your Project, either just click Compute Engine to the left, or go to the APIs & auth
          section and APIs link and enable the Google Compute Engine service.

       4. Create a Service Account

          To set up authorization, navigate to APIs & auth section and then the Credentials  link
          and  click the CREATE NEW CLIENT ID button. Select Service Account and click the Create
          Client ID button. This will automatically download a .json file, which may or  may  not
          be used in later steps, depending on your version of libcloud.

          Look  for  a  new  Service  Account  section in the page and record the generated email
          address for the matching key/fingerprint.  The  email  address  will  be  used  in  the
          service_account_email_address     of     the     /etc/salt/cloud.providers    or    the
          /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf file.

       5. Key Format

          NOTE:
             If you are using libcloud >= 0.17.0 it is recommended that you use the  JSON  format
             file  you  downloaded  above  and  skip to the Provider Configuration section below,
             using the JSON file in place of 'NEW.pem' in the documentation.

             If you are using an older version of libcloud or are unsure of the version you have,
             please follow the instructions below to generate and format a new P12 key.

          In   the  new  Service  Account  section,  click  Generate  new  P12  key,  which  will
          automatically download a .p12 private key file.  The  .p12  private  key  needs  to  be
          converted  to a format compatible with libcloud.  This new Google-generated private key
          was encrypted using notasecret as a passphrase. Use the following  command  and  record
          the  location  of  the  converted  private  key  and record the location for use in the
          service_account_private_key of the /etc/salt/cloud file:

             openssl pkcs12 -in ORIG.p12 -passin pass:notasecret \
             -nodes -nocerts | openssl rsa -out NEW.pem

   Provider Configuration
       Set    up    the    provider    cloud    config    at     /etc/salt/cloud.providers     or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf:

          gce-config:
            # Set up the Project name and Service Account authorization
            project: "your-project-id"
            service_account_email_address: "123-a5gt@developer.gserviceaccount.com"
            service_account_private_key: "/path/to/your/NEW.pem"

            # Set up the location of the salt master
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set up grains information, which will be common for all nodes
            # using this provider
            grains:
              node_type: broker
              release: 1.0.1

            driver: gce

       NOTE:
          Empty      strings      as      values      for     service_account_private_key     and
          service_account_email_address can be used on GCE instances. This  will  result  in  the
          service account assigned to the GCE instance being used.

       NOTE:
          The value provided for project must not contain underscores or spaces and is labeled as
          "Project ID" on the Google Developers Console.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was  made  to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud
          module  that  provides  the  underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while
          cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to provider  configurations  that  you
          define.

   Profile Configuration
       Set      up      an      initial      profile      at      /etc/salt/cloud.profiles     or
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:

          my-gce-profile:
            image: centos-6
            size: n1-standard-1
            location: europe-west1-b
            network: default
            subnetwork: default
            tags: '["one", "two", "three"]'
            metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two"}'
            use_persistent_disk: True
            delete_boot_pd: False
            deploy: True
            make_master: False
            provider: gce-config

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p my-gce-profile gce-instance

       This will create an salt minion instance named gce-instance in GCE.  If  the  command  was
       executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with a salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          salt gce-instance test.version

   GCE Specific Settings
       Consult the sample profile below for more information about GCE specific settings. Some of
       them  are mandatory and are properly labeled below but typically also include a hard-coded
       default.

   Initial Profile
       Set     up      an      initial      profile      at      /etc/salt/cloud.profiles      or
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/gce.conf:

          my-gce-profile:
            image: centos-6
            size: n1-standard-1
            location: europe-west1-b
            network: default
            subnetwork: default
            tags: '["one", "two", "three"]'
            metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two"}'
            use_persistent_disk: True
            delete_boot_pd: False
            ssh_interface: public_ips
            external_ip: "ephemeral"

   image
       Image  is  used  to define what Operating System image should be used to for the instance.
       Examples are Debian 7 (wheezy) and CentOS 6. Required.

   size
       A 'size', in GCE  terms,  refers  to  the  instance's  'machine  type'.  See  the  on-line
       documentation for a complete list of GCE machine types. Required.

   location
       A  'location',  in  GCE terms, refers to the instance's 'zone'. GCE has the notion of both
       Regions  (e.g.  us-central1,   europe-west1,   etc)   and   Zones   (e.g.   us-central1-a,
       us-central1-b, etc). Required.

   network
       Use  this  setting  to  define  the  network  resource for the instance.  All GCE projects
       contain a network named 'default'  but  it's  possible  to  use  this  setting  to  create
       instances belonging to a different network resource.

   subnetwork
       Use  this  setting to define the subnetwork an instance will be created in.  This requires
       that the network your instance is  created  under  has  a  mode  of  'custom'  or  'auto'.
       Additionally,  the  subnetwork  your  instance  is  created  under  is associated with the
       location you provide.

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   tags
       GCE supports instance/network tags and this setting allows you  to  set  custom  tags.  It
       should  be  a  list  of  strings  and  must be parse-able by the python ast.literal_eval()
       function to convert it to a python list.

   metadata
       GCE supports instance metadata and this setting allows you  to  set  custom  metadata.  It
       should  be  a  hash  of  key/value strings and parse-able by the python ast.literal_eval()
       function to convert it to a python dictionary.

   use_persistent_disk
       Use this setting to ensure that when new instances are created, they will use a persistent
       disk to preserve data between instance terminations and re-creations.

   delete_boot_pd
       In  the  event  that  you wish the boot persistent disk to be permanently deleted when you
       destroy an instance, set delete_boot_pd to True.

   ssh_interface
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Specify whether to use public or private IP for deploy script.

       Valid options are:

       • private_ips: The salt-master is also hosted with GCE

       • public_ips: The salt-master is hosted outside of GCE

   external_ip
       Per instance setting: Used a named fixed IP address to this host.

       Valid options are:

       • ephemeral: The host will use a GCE ephemeral IP

       • None: No external IP will be configured on this host.

       Optionally, pass the name of a GCE address to use a fixed IP address.  If the address does
       not already exist, it will be created.

   ex_disk_type
       GCE  supports  two  different  disk  types, pd-standard and pd-ssd.  The default disk type
       setting is pd-standard. To specify using an SSD disk, set pd-ssd as the value.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

   ip_forwarding
       GCE instances can be enabled to use IP Forwarding. When set to True, this  options  allows
       the instance to send/receive non-matching src/dst packets. Default is False.

       New in version 2015.8.1.

   Profile with scopes
       Scopes  can  be  specified  by  setting the optional ex_service_accounts key in your cloud
       profile. The following example enables the bigquery scope.

          my-gce-profile:
           image: centos-6
            ssh_username: salt
            size: f1-micro
            location: us-central1-a
            network: default
            subnetwork: default
            tags: '["one", "two", "three"]'
            metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two",
                        "sshKeys": ""}'
            use_persistent_disk: True
            delete_boot_pd: False
            deploy: False
            make_master: False
            provider: gce-config
            ex_service_accounts:
              - scopes:
                - bigquery

       Email can also be specified as an (optional) parameter.

          my-gce-profile:
          ...snip
            ex_service_accounts:
              - scopes:
                - bigquery
                email: default

       There can be multiple entries for scopes  since  ex-service_accounts  accepts  a  list  of
       dictionaries.  For  more  information  refer  to  the libcloud documentation on specifying
       service account scopes.

   SSH Remote Access
       GCE instances do not allow remote access to the root user by  default.   Instead,  another
       user  must  be  used  to  run the deploy script using sudo.  Append something like this to
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:

          my-gce-profile:
              ...

              # SSH to GCE instances as gceuser
              ssh_username: gceuser

              # Use the local private SSH key file located here
              ssh_keyfile: /etc/cloud/google_compute_engine

       If you have not already used this SSH key to login to instances in this  GCE  project  you
       will    also   need   to   add   the   public   key   to   your   projects   metadata   at
       https://cloud.google.com/console. You could also add it via the metadata setting too:

          my-gce-profile:
              ...

              metadata: '{"one": "1", "2": "two",
                          "sshKeys": "gceuser:ssh-rsa <Your SSH Public Key> gceuser@host"}'

   Single instance details
       This action is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which  displays  details  on  a  single
       instance  only. In an environment with several machines, this will save a user from having
       to sort through all instance data, just to examine a single instance.

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Destroy, persistent disks, and metadata
       As noted in the provider configuration, it's possible to force the boot persistent disk to
       be  deleted  when  you destroy the instance.  The way that this has been implemented is to
       use the instance metadata to record the cloud profile used  when  creating  the  instance.
       When  destroy  is called, if the instance contains a salt-cloud-profile key, it's value is
       used to reference the matching profile to determine if delete_boot_pd is set to True.

       Be aware that any  GCE  instances  created  with  salt  cloud  will  contain  this  custom
       salt-cloud-profile metadata entry.

   List various resources
       It's  also  possible  to list several GCE resources similar to what can be done with other
       providers.  The following commands can be used to  list  GCE  zones  (locations),  machine
       types (sizes), and images.

          salt-cloud --list-locations gce
          salt-cloud --list-sizes gce
          salt-cloud --list-images gce

   Persistent Disk
       The  Compute  Engine  provider provides functions via salt-cloud to manage your Persistent
       Disks. You can create and destroy disks as well as attach and  detach  them  from  running
       instances.

   Create
       When  creating  a  disk,  you  can  create  an empty disk and specify its size (in GB), or
       specify either an 'image' or 'snapshot'.

          salt-cloud -f create_disk gce disk_name=pd location=us-central1-b size=200

   Delete
       Deleting a disk only requires the name of the disk to delete

          salt-cloud -f delete_disk gce disk_name=old-backup

   Attach
       Attaching a disk to an existing instance is  really  an  'action'  and  requires  both  an
       instance name and disk name. It's possible to use this ation to create bootable persistent
       disks if necessary. Compute Engine also supports attaching a persistent disk in  READ_ONLY
       mode  to multiple instances at the same time (but then cannot be attached in READ_WRITE to
       any instance).

          salt-cloud -a attach_disk myinstance disk_name=pd mode=READ_WRITE boot=yes

   Detach
       Detaching a disk is also an action against an instance and only requires the name  of  the
       disk. Note that this does not safely sync and umount the disk from the instance. To ensure
       no data loss, you must first make sure the disk is unmounted from the instance.

          salt-cloud -a detach_disk myinstance disk_name=pd

   Show disk
       It's also possible to look up the details for an existing disk with either a  function  or
       an action.

          salt-cloud -a show_disk myinstance disk_name=pd
          salt-cloud -f show_disk gce disk_name=pd

   Create snapshot
       You  can  take  a snapshot of an existing disk's content. The snapshot can then in turn be
       used to create other persistent disks.  Note  that  to  prevent  data  corruption,  it  is
       strongly suggested that you unmount the disk prior to taking a snapshot. You must name the
       snapshot and provide the name of the disk.

          salt-cloud -f create_snapshot gce name=backup-20140226 disk_name=pd

   Delete snapshot
       You can delete a snapshot when it's no  longer  needed  by  specifying  the  name  of  the
       snapshot.

          salt-cloud -f delete_snapshot gce name=backup-20140226

   Show snapshot
       Use this function to look up information about the snapshot.

          salt-cloud -f show_snapshot gce name=backup-20140226

   Networking
       Compute  Engine supports multiple private networks per project. Instances within a private
       network can easily communicate with each other by an internal DNS  service  that  resolves
       instance  names.  Instances  within  a  private  network  can also communicate with either
       directly without needing special routing or firewall rules even  if  they  span  different
       regions/zones.

       Networks  also support custom firewall rules. By default, traffic between instances on the
       same private network is open to all ports and protocols.  Inbound SSH traffic (port 22) is
       also allowed but all other inbound traffic is blocked.

   Create network
       New  networks  require  a  name  and  CIDR range if they don't have a 'mode'.  Optionally,
       'mode' can be provided. Supported  modes  are  'auto',  'custom',  'legacy'.   Optionally,
       'description'  can be provided to add an extra note to your network.  New instances can be
       created and added to this network by setting the network name during  create.  It  is  not
       possible to add/remove existing instances to a network.

          salt-cloud -f create_network gce name=mynet cidr=10.10.10.0/24
          salt-cloud -f create_network gce name=mynet mode=auto description=some optional info.

       Changed in version 2017.7.0.

   Destroy network
       Destroy  a  network  by  specifying  the name. If a resource is currently using the target
       network an exception will be raised.

          salt-cloud -f delete_network gce name=mynet

   Show network
       Specify the network name to view information about the network.

          salt-cloud -f show_network gce name=mynet

   Create subnetwork
       New subnetworks require a name, region, and CIDR range.  Optionally, 'description' can  be
       provided  to add an extra note to your subnetwork.  New instances can be created and added
       to this subnetwork by setting the subnetwork name during create. It  is  not  possible  to
       add/remove existing instances to a subnetwork.

          salt-cloud -f create_subnetwork gce name=mynet network=mynet region=us-central1 cidr=10.0.10.0/24
          salt-cloud -f create_subnetwork gce name=mynet network=mynet region=us-central1 cidr=10.10.10.0/24 description=some info about my subnet.

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   Destroy subnetwork
       Destroy  a  subnetwork by specifying the name and region. If a resource is currently using
       the target subnetwork an exception will be raised.

          salt-cloud -f delete_subnetwork gce name=mynet region=us-central1

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   Show subnetwork
       Specify the subnetwork name to view information about the subnetwork.

          salt-cloud -f show_subnetwork gce name=mynet

       New in version 2017.7.0.

   Create address
       Create a new named static IP address in a region.

          salt-cloud -f create_address gce name=my-fixed-ip region=us-central1

   Delete address
       Delete an existing named fixed IP address.

          salt-cloud -f delete_address gce name=my-fixed-ip region=us-central1

   Show address
       View details on a named address.

          salt-cloud -f show_address gce name=my-fixed-ip region=us-central1

   Create firewall
       You'll need to create custom firewall rules if you want to allow other traffic  than  what
       is  described above. For instance, if you run a web service on your instances, you'll need
       to explicitly allow HTTP and/or SSL traffic.  The firewall rule must have a  name  and  it
       will  use  the  'default'  network  unless otherwise specified with a 'network' attribute.
       Firewalls also support instance tags for source/destination

          salt-cloud -f create_fwrule gce name=web allow=tcp:80,tcp:443,icmp

   Delete firewall
       Deleting a firewall rule will  prevent  any  previously  allowed  traffic  for  the  named
       firewall rule.

          salt-cloud -f delete_fwrule gce name=web

   Show firewall
       Use this function to review an existing firewall rule's information.

          salt-cloud -f show_fwrule gce name=web

   Load Balancer
       Compute  Engine  possess  a  load-balancer  feature  for splitting traffic across multiple
       instances. Please reference the documentation for a more complete description.

       The load-balancer functionality is slightly different  than  that  described  in  Google's
       documentation.    The  concept  of  TargetPool  and  ForwardingRule  are  consolidated  in
       salt-cloud/libcloud.  HTTP Health Checks are optional.

   HTTP Health Check
       HTTP Health Checks can be used  as  a  means  to  toggle  load-balancing  across  instance
       members,  or  to  detect if an HTTP site is functioning.  A common use-case is to set up a
       health check URL and if you want  to  toggle  traffic  on/off  to  an  instance,  you  can
       temporarily  have it return a non-200 response.  A non-200 response to the load-balancer's
       health check will keep the LB from sending any new traffic to the "down"  instance.   Once
       the instance's health check URL beings returning 200-responses, the LB will again start to
       send traffic to it. Review Compute Engine's documentation for allowable  parameters.   You
       can use the following salt-cloud functions to manage your HTTP health checks.

          salt-cloud -f create_hc gce name=myhc path=/ port=80
          salt-cloud -f delete_hc gce name=myhc
          salt-cloud -f show_hc gce name=myhc

   Load-balancer
       When  creating  a  new  load-balancer, it requires a name, region, port range, and list of
       members. There are other optional parameters for protocol,  and  list  of  health  checks.
       Deleting or showing details about the LB only requires the name.

          salt-cloud -f create_lb gce name=lb region=... ports=80 members=w1,w2,w3
          salt-cloud -f delete_lb gce name=lb
          salt-cloud -f show_lb gce name=lb

       You  can  also create a load balancer using a named fixed IP addressby specifying the name
       of the address.  If the address does not exist yet it will be created.

          salt-cloud -f create_lb gce name=my-lb region=us-central1 ports=234 members=s1,s2,s3 address=my-lb-ip

   Attach and Detach LB
       It is possible to attach or detach an instance from an existing load-balancer.   Both  the
       instance and load-balancer must exist before using these functions.

          salt-cloud -f attach_lb gce name=lb member=w4
          salt-cloud -f detach_lb gce name=lb member=oops

   Getting Started With HP Cloud
       HP  Cloud  is  a  major  public cloud platform and uses the libcloud openstack driver. The
       current version of OpenStack that HP Cloud uses is Havana. When an instance is booted,  it
       must  have  a floating IP added to it in order to connect to it and further below you will
       see an example that adds context to this statement.

   Set up a cloud provider configuration file
       To use the openstack driver for HP Cloud, set up the cloud provider configuration file  as
       in the example shown below:

       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/hpcloud.conf:

          hpcloud-config:
            # Set the location of the salt-master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Configure HP Cloud using the OpenStack plugin
            #
            identity_url: https://region-b.geo-1.identity.hpcloudsvc.com:35357/v2.0/tokens
            compute_name: Compute
            protocol: ipv4

            # Set the compute region:
            #
            compute_region: region-b.geo-1

            # Configure HP Cloud authentication credentials
            #
            user: myname
            tenant: myname-project1
            password: xxxxxxxxx

            # keys to allow connection to the instance launched
            #
            ssh_key_name: yourkey
            ssh_key_file: /path/to/key/yourkey.priv

            driver: openstack

       The subsequent example that follows is using the openstack driver.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Compute Region
       Originally, HP Cloud, in its OpenStack Essex version (1.0), had 3  availability  zones  in
       one region, US West (region-a.geo-1), which each behaved each as a region.

       This has since changed, and the current OpenStack Havana version of HP Cloud (1.1) now has
       simplified this and now has two regions to choose from:

          region-a.geo-1 -> US West
          region-b.geo-1 -> US East

   Authentication
       The user is the same user as is used to log into the HP Cloud management  UI.  The  tenant
       can  be  found in the upper left under "Project/Region/Scope".  It is often named the same
       as user albeit with a -project1 appended.  The password is of course what you created your
       account with. The management UI also has other information such as being able to select US
       East or US West.

   Set up a cloud profile config file
       The profile shown below is a know working profile for  an  Ubuntu  instance.  The  profile
       configuration file is stored in the following location:

       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/hp_ae1_ubuntu.conf:

          hp_ae1_ubuntu:
              provider: hp_ae1
              image: 9302692b-b787-4b52-a3a6-daebb79cb498
              ignore_cidr: 10.0.0.1/24
              networks:
                - floating: Ext-Net
              size: standard.small
              ssh_key_file: /root/keys/test.key
              ssh_key_name: test
              ssh_username: ubuntu

       Some important things about the example above:

       • The  image  parameter  can use either the image name or image ID which you can obtain by
         running in the example below (this case US East):

          # salt-cloud --list-images hp_ae1

       • The parameter ignore_cidr specifies a range  of  addresses  to  ignore  when  trying  to
         connect  to  the  instance.  In  this  case,  it's the range of IP addresses used for an
         private IP of the instance.

       • The parameter networks is very important to include. In previous versions of Salt Cloud,
         this  is  what made it possible for salt-cloud to be able to attach a floating IP to the
         instance in order to connect to the instance and set up the minion. The current  version
         of  salt-cloud doesn't require it, though having it is of no harm either. Newer versions
         of salt-cloud will use this, and without it, will attempt to find a list of floating  IP
         addresses to use regardless.

       • The  ssh_key_file and ssh_key_name are the keys that will make it possible to connect to
         the instance to set up the minion

       • The ssh_username parameter, in this case, being that the image used will be ubuntu, will
         make it possible to not only log in but install the minion

   Launch an instance
       To instantiate a machine based on this profile (example):

          # salt-cloud -p hp_ae1_ubuntu ubuntu_instance_1

       After  several minutes, this will create an instance named ubuntu_instance_1 running in HP
       Cloud in the US East region and will set up the minion and then return  information  about
       the instance once completed.

   Manage the instance
       Once  the  instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          # salt ubuntu_instance_1 ping

   SSH to the instance
       Additionally, the instance can be accessed via SSH using the floating IP assigned to it

          # ssh ubuntu@<floating ip>

   Using a private IP
       Alternatively, in the cloud profile, using the private IP to log into the instance to  set
       up the minion is another option, particularly if salt-cloud is running within the cloud on
       an instance that is on the same network with all the other instances (minions)

       The example below is a  modified  version  of  the  previous  example.  Note  the  use  of
       ssh_interface:

          hp_ae1_ubuntu:
              provider: hp_ae1
              image: 9302692b-b787-4b52-a3a6-daebb79cb498
              size: standard.small
              ssh_key_file: /root/keys/test.key
              ssh_key_name: test
              ssh_username: ubuntu
              ssh_interface: private_ips

       With  this  setup, salt-cloud will use the private IP address to ssh into the instance and
       set up the salt-minion

   Getting Started With Joyent
       Joyent is a public cloud host that supports SmartOS, Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Configuration
       The Joyent cloud requires three configuration parameters. The user name and password  that
       are used to log into the Joyent system, and the location of the private ssh key associated
       with the Joyent account. The ssh key is needed to send the provisioning commands up to the
       freshly created virtual machine.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-joyent-config:
            driver: joyent
            user: fred
            password: saltybacon
            private_key: /root/mykey.pem
            keyname: mykey

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set    up    an    initial    profile    at    /etc/salt/cloud.profiles    or    in    the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          joyent_512:
            provider: my-joyent-config
            size: g4-highcpu-512M

   SmartDataCenter
       This  driver can also be used with the Joyent SmartDataCenter project. More details can be
       found at:

       Using SDC requires that  an  api_host_suffix  is  set.  The  default  value  for  this  is
       .api.joyentcloud.com. All characters, including the leading ., should be included:

          api_host_suffix: .api.myhostname.com

   Miscellaneous Configuration
       The  following  configuration items can be set in either provider or profile configuration
       files.

   use_ssl
       When set to True (the default), attach https:// to any URL  that  does  not  already  have
       http://  or https:// included at the beginning. The best practice is to leave the protocol
       out of the URL, and use this setting to manage it.

   verify_ssl
       When set  to  True  (the  default),  the  underlying  web  library  will  verify  the  SSL
       certificate. This should only be set to False for debugging.`

   Getting Started With Libvirt
       Libvirt  is  a toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions
       of Linux (and other OSes). This driver Salt cloud provider  is  currently  geared  towards
       libvirt with qemu-kvm.

       https://libvirt.org/

   Host Dependencies
       • libvirt >= 1.2.18 (older might work)

   Salt-Cloud Dependencies
       • libvirt-python

   Provider Configuration
       For  every  KVM  host  a  provider  needs to be set up. The provider currently maps to one
       libvirt daemon (e.g. one KVM host).

       Set  up  the  provider  cloud   configuration   file   at   /etc/salt/cloud.providers   or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

          # Set up a provider with qemu+ssh protocol
          kvm-via-ssh:
            driver: libvirt
            url: qemu+ssh://user@kvm.company.com/system?socket=/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock

          # Or connect to a local libvirt instance
          local-kvm:
            driver: libvirt
            url: qemu:///system
            # work around flag for XML validation errors while cloning
            validate_xml: no

   Cloud Profiles
       Virtual  machines  get  cloned  from  so  called Cloud Profiles. Profiles can be set up at
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/*.conf:

       • Configure a profile to be used:

          centos7:
            # points back at provider configuration
            provider: local-kvm
            base_domain: base-centos7-64
            ip_source: ip-learning
            ssh_username: root
            password: my-very-secret-password
            # /tmp is mounted noexec.. do workaround
            deploy_command: sh /tmp/.saltcloud/deploy.sh
            script_args: -F
            # grains to add to the minion
            grains:
              clones-are-awesome: true
            # override minion settings
            minion:
              master: 192.168.16.1
              master_port: 5506

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p centos7 my-centos7-clone

       This will create an instance named my-centos7-clone on the cloud host. Also the minion  id
       will be set to my-centos7-clone.

       If  the  command  was  executed  on  the  salt-master,  its Salt key will automatically be
       accepted on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it  can  be
       verified with Salt:

          salt my-centos7-clone test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for libvirt:

          centos7:
            provider: local-kvm
            # the domain to clone
            base_domain: base-centos7-64

   SSH Key Authentication
       Instead  of  specifying  a  password,  an authorized key can be used for the minion setup.
       Ensure that the ssh user of your base image  has  the  public  key  you  want  to  use  in
       ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.   If  you  want  to  use  a  non-root user you will likely want to
       configure salt-cloud to use sudo.

       An example using root:

          centos7:
            provider: local-kvm
            # the domain to clone
            base_domain: base-centos7-64
            ssh_username: root
            private_key: /path/to/private/key

       An example using a non-root user:

          centos7:
            provider: local-kvm
            # the domain to clone
            base_domain: base-centos7-64
            ssh_username: centos
            private_key: /path/to/private/key
            sudo: True
            sudo_password: "--redacted--"

   Optional Settings
          centos7:
            # ssh settings
            # use forwarded agent instead of a local key
            ssh_agent: True
            ssh_port: 4910

            # credentials
            ssh_username: root
            # password will be used for sudo if defined, use sudo_password if using ssh keys
            password: my-secret-password
            private_key: /path/to/private/key
            sudo: True
            sudo_password: "--redacted--"

            # bootstrap options
            deploy_command: sh /tmp/.saltcloud/deploy.sh
            script_args: -F

            # minion config
            grains:
              sushi: more tasty
            # point at the another master at another port
            minion:
              master: 192.168.16.1
              master_port: 5506

            # libvirt settings
            # clone_strategy: [ quick | full ] # default is full
            clone_strategy: quick
            # ip_source: [ ip-learning | qemu-agent ] # default is ip-learning
            ip_source: qemu-agent
            # validate_xml: [ false | true ] # default is true
            validate_xml: false

       The clone_strategy controls how the clone is done. In case of full the  disks  are  copied
       creating  a  standalone  clone.  If quick is used the disks of the base domain are used as
       backing disks for the clone. This results in nearly instantaneous clones at the expense of
       slower write performance. The quick strategy has a number of requirements:

       • The disks must be of type qcow2

       • The base domain must be turned off

       • The base domain must not change after creating the clone

       The  ip_source  setting  controls how the IP address of the cloned instance is determined.
       When using ip-learning the IP is requested from  libvirt.  This  needs  a  recent  libvirt
       version  and  may  only  work  for NAT/routed networks where libvirt runs the dhcp server.
       Another option is to use qemu-agent this requires that the  qemu-agent  is  installed  and
       configured to run at startup in the base domain.

       The validate_xml setting is available to disable xml validation by libvirt when cloning.

   Getting Started With Linode
       Linode is a public cloud host with a focus on Linux instances.

   Dependencies
       This driver requires the Python requests library to be installed.

   Provider Configuration
   Configuration Options
       apikey (Required) The key to use to authenticate with the Linode API.

       password
              (Required)  The  default  password  to set on new VMs. Must be 8 characters with at
              least one lowercase, uppercase, and numeric.

       api_version
              The version of the Linode API to interact with. Defaults to v3.

       poll_interval
              The rate of time in milliseconds to poll the Linode API for  changes.  Defaults  to
              500.

       ratelimit_sleep
              The  time  in  seconds to wait before retrying after a ratelimit has been enforced.
              Defaults to 0.

   Example Configuration
       Set  up  the  provider  cloud   configuration   file   at   /etc/salt/cloud.providers   or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

          my-linode-provider:
              driver: linode
              api_version: v4
              apikey: f4ZsmwtB1c7f85Jdu43RgXVDFlNjuJaeIYV8QMftTqKScEB2vSosFSr...
              password: F00barbaz

       For use with APIv3 (deprecated):

          my-linode-provider-v3:
              driver: linode
              apikey: f4ZsmwtB1c7f85Jdu43RgXVDFlNjuJaeIYV8QMftTqKScEB2vSosFSr...
              password: F00barbaz

   Profile Configuration
   Configuration Options
       image  (Required) The image to deploy the boot disk from. This should be an image ID (e.g.
              linode/ubuntu16.04); official images start with linode/. For APIv3, this  would  be
              an image label (i.e. Ubuntu 16.04). See listing images for more options.

       location
              (Required)  The  location of the VM. This should be a Linode region (e.g. us-east).
              For APIv3, this would be a datacenter location (e.g. Newark, NJ, USA). See  listing
              locations for more options.

       size   (Required)  The  size  of  the  VM.  This should be a Linode instance type ID (e.g.
              g6-standard-2). For APIv3, this would be a plan ID (e.g. Linode 2GB).  See  listing
              sizes for more options.

       password (overrides provider)
              (*Required)  The  default  password  for the VM. Must be provided at the profile or
              provider level.

       assign_private_ip
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              Whether or not to assign a private key to the VM. Defaults to False.

       cloneform
              The name of the Linode to clone from.

       disk_size
              (Deprecated) The amount of disk space to allocate for the  OS  disk.  This  has  no
              effect  with  APIv4;  the size of the boot disk will be the remainder of disk space
              after the swap partition is allocated.

       ssh_interface
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              The interface with which to connect over SSH.  Valid  options  are  private_ips  or
              public_ips. Defaults to public_ips.

              If  specifying  private_ips, the Linodes must be hosted within the same data center
              and have the Network Helper enabled on your entire account. The  instance  that  is
              running the Salt-Cloud provisioning command must also have a private IP assigned to
              it.

              Newer accounts created on  Linode  have  the  Network  Helper  setting  enabled  by
              default, account-wide. Legacy accounts do not have this setting enabled by default.
              To enable the Network Helper on your Linode account, please  see  Linode's  Network
              Helper documentation.

       ssh_pubkey
              The public key to authorize for SSH with the VM.

       swap   The amount of disk space to allocate for the swap partition. Defaults to 256.

   Example Configuration
       Set up a profile configuration in /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/:

          my-linode-profile:
              provider: my-linode-provider
              size: g6-standard-1
              image: linode/alpine3.12
              location: us-east

       The my-linode-profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p my-linode-profile my-linode-instance

       This will create a salt minion instance named my-linode-instance in Linode. If the command
       was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with a salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          salt my-linode-instance test.version

       A more advanced configuration utlizing all of the configuration options might look like:

          my-linode-profile-advanced:
              provider: my-linode-provider
              size: g6-standard-3
              image: linode/alpine3.10
              location: eu-west
              password: bogus123X
              assign_private_ip: true
              ssh_interface: private_ips
              ssh_pubkey: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQAB...
              swap_size: 512

       A legacy configuration for use with APIv3 might look like:

          my-linode-profile-v3:
              provider: my-linode-provider-v3
              size: Nanode 1GB
              image: Alpine 3.12
              location: Fremont, CA, USA

   Migrating to APIv4
       Linode APIv3 has been deprecated and will be shutdown in the coming months. You can opt-in
       to using APIv4 by setting the api_version provider configuration option to v4.

       When switching to APIv4, you will also need to generate a new token.  See  here  for  more
       information.

   Notable Changes
       Move  from  label  references  to  ID  references.  The  profile  configuration parameters
       location, size, and image have moved from accepting label based references to IDs. See the
       profile configuration section for more details.

       The  ``disk_size`` profile configuration parameter has been deprecated. The parameter will
       not be taken into account when creating new VMs while targeting APIv4. See  the  disk_size
       description under the profile configuration section for more details.

       The  ``boot`` function no longer requires a ``config_id``. A config can be inferred by the
       API instead when booting.

       The ``clone`` function has renamed parameters to match  convention.  The  old  version  of
       these  parameters  will  not  be supported when targeting APIv4.  * datacenter_id has been
       deprecated in favor of location.  * plan_id has been deprecated in favor of size.

       The ``get_plan_id`` function has been deprecated and will not be supported by  APIv4.  IDs
       are now the only way of referring to a "plan" (or type/size).

   Cloning
       To clone a Linode, add a profile with a clonefrom key, and a script_args:  -C.   clonefrom
       should be the name of the Linode that is the source for the clone.  script_args: -C passes
       a -C to the salt-bootstrap script, which only configures the minion  and  doesn't  try  to
       install  a  new  copy  of  salt-minion. This way the minion gets new keys and the keys get
       pre-seeded on the master, and  the  /etc/salt/minion  file  has  the  right  minion  'id:'
       declaration.

       Cloning requires a post 2015-02-01 salt-bootstrap.

       It is safest to clone a stopped machine. To stop a machine run

          salt-cloud -a stop machine_to_clone

       To  create  a  new  machine  based  on  another machine, add an entry to your linode cloud
       profile that looks like this:

          li-clone:
            provider: my-linode-config
            clonefrom: machine_to_clone
            script_args: -C -F

       Then run salt-cloud as normal, specifying -p li-clone. The profile name can  be  anything;
       It doesn't have to be li-clone.

       clonefrom: is the name of an existing machine in Linode from which to clone.  Script_args:
       -C -F is necessary to avoid re-deploying Salt via salt-bootstrap.  -C will just  re-deploy
       keys  so  the  new minion will not have a duplicate key or minion_id on the Master, and -F
       will force a rewrite of the Minion config file on the new Minion. If  -F  isn't  provided,
       the  new  Minion will have the machine_to_clone's Minion ID, instead of its own Minion ID,
       which can cause problems.

       NOTE:
          Pull Request #733 to the salt-bootstrap repo makes the -F argument non-necessary.  Once
          that  change is released into a stable version of the Bootstrap Script, the -C argument
          will be sufficient for the script_args setting.

       If the machine_to_clone does not have  Salt  installed  on  it,  refrain  from  using  the
       script_args: -C -F altogether, because the new machine will need to have Salt installed.

   Getting Started With LXC
       The  LXC  module  is  designed  to  install  Salt  in an LXC container on a controlled and
       possibly remote minion.

       In other words, Salt will connect to a minion, then from that minion:

       • Provision and configure a container for networking access

       • Use those modules to deploy salt and re-attach to master.

            • lxc runnerlxc moduleseed

   Limitations
       • You can only act on one minion and one provider at a time.

       • Listing images must be targeted to a particular LXC provider (nothing will be  outputted
         with all)

   Operation
       Salt's LXC support does use lxc.init via the lxc.cloud_init_interface and seeds the minion
       via seed.mkconfig.

       You can provide to those lxc VMs a profile and a network profile like if you were directly
       using the minion module.

       Order of operation:

       • Create the LXC container on the desired minion (clone or template)

       • Change LXC config options (if any need to be changed)

       • Start container

       • Change base passwords if any

       • Change base DNS configuration if necessary

       • Wait for LXC container to be up and ready for ssh

       • Test SSH connection and bailout in error

       • Upload deploy script and seeds, then re-attach the minion.

   Provider configuration
       Here is a simple provider configuration:

          # Note: This example goes in /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.
          devhost10-lxc:
            target: devhost10
            driver: lxc

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Profile configuration
       Please read tutorial-lxc before anything else.  And specially tutorial-lxc-profiles.

       Here are the options to configure your containers:

          target Host minion id to install the lxc Container into

          lxc_profile
                 Name of the profile or inline options for the LXC  vm  creation/cloning,  please
                 see tutorial-lxc-profiles-container.

          network_profile
                 Name  of  the  profile or inline options for the LXC vm network settings, please
                 see tutorial-lxc-profiles-network.

          nic_opts
                 Totally optional.  Per interface new-style configuration options mappings  which
                 will override any profile default option:

                     eth0: {'mac': '00:16:3e:01:29:40',
                                   'gateway': None, (default)
                                   'link': 'br0', (default)
                                   'gateway': None, (default)
                                   'netmask': '', (default)
                                   'ip': '22.1.4.25'}}

          password
                 password for root and sysadmin users

          dnsservers
                 List of DNS servers to use. This is optional.

          minion minion configuration (see Minion Configuration in Salt Cloud)

          bootstrap_delay
                 specify  the  time  to  wait  (in  seconds)  between container creation and salt
                 bootstrap execution. It is useful to ensure that  all  essential  services  have
                 started before the bootstrap script is executed. By default there's no wait time
                 between container creation and bootstrap unless you are on systemd where we wait
                 that the system is no more in starting state.

          bootstrap_shell
                 shell for bootstraping script (default: /bin/sh)

          script defaults to salt-boostrap

          script_args
                 arguments  which are given to the bootstrap script.  the {0} placeholder will be
                 replaced by the path which contains the minion config and key files, eg:

                     script_args="-c {0}"

       Using profiles:

          # Note: This example would go in /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory.
          devhost10-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            lxc_profile: foo
            network_profile: bar
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506

       Using inline profiles (eg to override the network bridge):

          devhost11-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            lxc_profile:
              clone_from: foo
            network_profile:
              etho:
                link: lxcbr0
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506

       Using a lxc template instead of a clone:

          devhost11-lxc:
            provider: devhost10-lxc
            lxc_profile:
              template: ubuntu
              # options:
              #   release: trusty
            network_profile:
              etho:
                link: lxcbr0
            minion:
              master: 10.5.0.1
              master_port: 4506

       Static ip:

          # Note: This example would go in /etc/salt/cloud.profiles or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory.

   Getting Started with OpenNebula
       OpenNebula is an open-source solution for the comprehensive management of virtualized data
       centers to enable the mixed use of private, public, and hybrid IaaS clouds.

   Dependencies
       The driver requires Python's lxml library to be installed. It also requires an  OpenNebula
       installation running version 4.12 or greater.

   Configuration
       The  following  example  illustrates some of the options that can be set. These parameters
       are discussed in more detail below.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-opennebula-provider:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Define xml_rpc setting which Salt-Cloud uses to connect to the OpenNebula API. Required.
            #
            xml_rpc: http://localhost:2633/RPC2

            # Define the OpenNebula access credentials. This can be the main "oneadmin" user that OpenNebula uses as the
            # OpenNebula main admin, or it can be a user defined in the OpenNebula instance. Required.
            #
            user: oneadmin
            password: JHGhgsayu32jsa

            # Define the private key location that is used by OpenNebula to access new VMs. This setting is required if
            # provisioning new VMs or accessing VMs previously created with the associated public key.
            #
            private_key: /path/to/private/key

            driver: opennebula

   Access Credentials
       The Salt Cloud driver for OpenNebula was written using OpenNebula's native  XML  RPC  API.
       Every  interaction  with  OpenNebula's  API  requires  a username and password to make the
       connection from the machine running Salt Cloud to API running on the OpenNebula  instance.
       Based  on  the access credentials passed in, OpenNebula filters the commands that the user
       can perform or the information for which the user can query. For example, the images  that
       a  user  can  view with a --list-images command are the images that the connected user and
       the connected user's groups can access.

   Key Pairs
       Salt Cloud needs to be able to access a virtual machine  in  order  to  install  the  Salt
       Minion by using a public/private key pair. The virtual machine will need to be seeded with
       the public key, which is laid down by the OpenNebula template. Salt Cloud  then  uses  the
       corresponding private key, provided by the private_key setting in the cloud provider file,
       to SSH into the new virtual machine.

       To seed the virtual machine with the public key, the public  key  must  be  added  to  the
       OpenNebula template. If using the OpenNebula web interface, navigate to the template, then
       click Update. Click the Context tab. Under the  Network  &  SSH  section,  click  Add  SSH
       Contextualization  and  paste  the public key in the Public Key box.  Don't forget to save
       your changes by clicking the green Update button.

       NOTE:
          The key pair must not have a pass-phrase.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set   up   an   initial   profile    at    either    /etc/salt/cloud.profiles    or    the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory.

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04

       The profile can now be realized with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p my-opennebula-profile my-new-vm

       This  will  create  a  new  instance  named  my-new-vm  in  OpenNebula. The minion that is
       installed on this instance will have a minion id of my-new-vm. If the command was executed
       on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the  instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          salt my-new-vm test.version

       OpenNebula uses an image --> template --> virtual  machine  paradigm  where  the  template
       draws  on  the image, or disk, and virtual machines are created from templates. Because of
       this, there is no need to define a size in the cloud profile.  The  size  of  the  virtual
       machine is defined in the template.

   Change Disk Size
       You  can  now  change  the  size of a VM on creation by cloning an image and expanding the
       size. You can accomplish this by the following cloud profile settings below.

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096
                image: centos7-base-image-v2
              disk1:
                disk_type: volatile
                type: swap
                size: 4096
              disk2:
                disk_type: volatile
                size: 4096
                type: fs
                format: ext3

       There are currently two different disk_types a user can use:  volatile  and  clone.  Clone
       which  is  required  when  specifying  devices will clone an image in open nebula and will
       expand it to the size specified in the profile settings. By default this  will  clone  the
       image  attached  to  the  template  specified  in the profile but a user can add the image
       argument under the disk definition.

       For example the profile below will not use Ubuntu-14.04 for the cloned disk image. It will
       use the centos7-base-image image:

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096
                image: centos7-base-image

       If  you  want  to use the image attached to the template set in the profile you can simply
       remove the image argument  as  show  below.   The  profile  below  will  clone  the  image
       Ubuntu-14.04 and expand the disk to 8GB.:

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096

       A  user  can  also currently specify swap or fs disks. Below is an example of this profile
       setting:

          my-opennebula-profile:
            provider: my-opennebula-provider
            image: Ubuntu-14.04
            disk:
              disk0:
                disk_type: clone
                size: 8096
              disk1:
                disk_type: volatile
                type: swap
                size: 4096
              disk2:
                disk_type: volatile
                size: 4096
                type: fs
                format: ext3

       The example above will attach both a swap disk and a ext3 filesystem with a size  of  4GB.
       To  note  if you define other disks you have to define the image disk to clone because the
       template will write over the entire 'DISK=[]' template definition on creation.

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for OpenNebula:

          my-opennebula-config:
            xml_rpc: http://localhost:26633/RPC2
            user: oneadmin
            password: JHGhgsayu32jsa
            driver: opennebula

   Required Settings for VM Deployment
       The settings defined in the Required Settings section are required  for  all  interactions
       with  OpenNebula.  However, when deploying a virtual machine via Salt Cloud, an additional
       setting, private_key, is also required:

          my-opennebula-config:
            private_key: /path/to/private/key

   Listing Images
       Images can be queried on OpenNebula by passing the --list-images argument to Salt Cloud:

          salt-cloud --list-images opennebula

   Listing Locations
       In OpenNebula, locations are defined as hosts. Locations, or "hosts", can be  querried  on
       OpenNebula by passing the --list-locations argument to Salt Cloud:

          salt-cloud --list-locations opennebula

   Listing Sizes
       Sizes  are  defined  by templates in OpenNebula. As such, the --list-sizes call returns an
       empty dictionary since there are no sizes to return.

   Additional OpenNebula API Functionality
       The Salt Cloud driver for OpenNebula was written using OpenNebula's native XML RPC API. As
       such,  many  --function  and --action calls were added to the OpenNebula driver to enhance
       support for an OpenNebula infrastructure with additional control from Salt Cloud. See  the
       OpenNebula function definitions for more information.

   Access via DNS entry instead of IP
       Some  OpenNebula  installations  do  not  assign  IP  addresses  to  new VMs, instead they
       establish the new VM's hostname based on OpenNebula's name of the VM, and then allocate an
       IP  out  of  DHCP  with  dynamic  DNS  attaching  the hostname.  This driver supports this
       behavior by adding the entry fqdn_base to  the  driver  configuration  or  the  OpenNebula
       profile with a value matching the base fully-qualified domain.  For example:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-opennebula-provider:
            [...]
            fqdn_base: corp.example.com
            [...]

   Getting Started With Parallels
       Parallels  Cloud  Server is a product by Parallels that delivers a cloud hosting solution.
       The PARALLELS module for Salt Cloud enables you to  manage  instances  hosted  using  PCS.
       Further information can be found at:

       http://www.parallels.com/products/pcs/

       • Using the old format, set up the cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud:

          # Set up the location of the salt master
          #
          minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

          # Set the PARALLELS access credentials (see below)
          #
          PARALLELS.user: myuser
          PARALLELS.password: badpass

          # Set the access URL for your PARALLELS host
          #
          PARALLELS.url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/

       • Using  the  new  format,  set up the cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or
         /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/parallels.conf:

          my-parallels-config:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set the PARALLELS access credentials (see below)
            #
            user: myuser
            password: badpass

            # Set the access URL for your PARALLELS provider
            #
            url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/
            driver: parallels

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was  made  to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud
          module  that  provides  the  underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while
          cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to provider  configurations  that  you
          define.

   Access Credentials
       The  user,  password,  and  url  will be provided to you by your cloud host. These are all
       required in order for the PARALLELS driver to work.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set     up      an      initial      profile      at      /etc/salt/cloud.profiles      or
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/parallels.conf:

          parallels-ubuntu:
              provider: my-parallels-config
              image: ubuntu-12.04-x86_64

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p parallels-ubuntu myubuntu

       This  will  create  an  instance  named  myubuntu  on  the  cloud host. The minion that is
       installed on this instance will have an id of myubuntu.  If the command  was  executed  on
       the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the  instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          # salt myubuntu test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for PARALLELS:

       • Using the old cloud configuration format:

          PARALLELS.user: myuser
          PARALLELS.password: badpass
          PARALLELS.url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/

       • Using the new cloud configuration format:

          my-parallels-config:
            user: myuser
            password: badpass
            url: https://api.cloud.xmission.com:4465/paci/v1.0/
            driver: parallels

   Optional Settings
       Unlike other cloud providers in Salt Cloud, Parallels does not  utilize  a  size  setting.
       This is because Parallels allows the end-user to specify a more detailed configuration for
       their instances than is allowed by many other  cloud  hosts.  The  following  options  are
       available to be used in a profile, with their default settings listed.

          # Description of the instance. Defaults to the instance name.
          desc: <instance_name>

          # How many CPU cores, and how fast they are (in MHz)
          cpu_number: 1
          cpu_power: 1000

          # How many megabytes of RAM
          ram: 256

          # Bandwidth available, in kbps
          bandwidth: 100

          # How many public IPs will be assigned to this instance
          ip_num: 1

          # Size of the instance disk (in GiB)
          disk_size: 10

          # Username and password
          ssh_username: root
          password: <value from PARALLELS.password>

          # The name of the image, from ``salt-cloud --list-images parallels``
          image: ubuntu-12.04-x86_64

   Getting Started With ProfitBricks
       ProfitBricks provides an enterprise-grade Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) solution that
       can be managed through a browser-based "Data Center Designer" (DCD) tool or via an easy to
       use  API.  A  unique  feature of the ProfitBricks platform is that it allows you to define
       your own settings for cores, memory, and disk size without  being  tied  to  a  particular
       server size.

   Dependencies
       • profitbricks >= 4.1.1

   Configuration
       • Using  the  new  format,  set up the cloud configuration at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or
         /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/profitbricks.conf:

          my-profitbricks-config:
            driver: profitbricks

            # Set the location of the salt-master
            #

            ssh_private_key: /path/to/id_rsa

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was  made  to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud
          module  that  provides  the  underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while
          cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to provider  configurations  that  you
          define.

   Virtual Data Center
       ProfitBricks  uses the concept of Virtual Data Centers. These are logically separated from
       one another and allow you to have a self-contained environment for all  servers,  volumes,
       networking, snapshots, and so forth.

       A list of existing virtual data centers can be retrieved with the following command:

          salt-cloud -f list_datacenters my-profitbricks-config

       A new data center can be created with the following command:

          salt-cloud -f create_datacenter my-profitbricks-config name=example location=us/las description="my description"

   Authentication
       The  username  and  password are the same as those used to log into the ProfitBricks "Data
       Center Designer".

   Profiles
       Here is an example of a profile:

          profitbricks_staging

   Getting Started With Proxmox
       Proxmox Virtual Environment is a complete server virtualization management solution, based
       on  OpenVZ(in Proxmox up to 3.4)/LXC(from Proxmox 4.0 and up) and full virtualization with
       KVM.  Further information can be found at:

       https://www.proxmox.com

   Dependencies
       • IPy >= 0.81

       • requests >= 2.2.1

       Please note: This module allows you to create  OpenVZ/LXC  containers  and  KVM  VMs,  but
       installing Salt on it will only be done on containers rather than a KVM virtual machine.

       • Set     up     the     cloud     configuration     at    /etc/salt/cloud.providers    or
         /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/proxmox.conf:

          my-proxmox-config:
            # Set up the location of the salt master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Set the PROXMOX access credentials (see below)
            #
            user: myuser@pve
            password: badpass

            # Set the access URL for your PROXMOX host
            #
            url: your.proxmox.host
            driver: proxmox

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was  made  to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud
          module  that  provides  the  underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while
          cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to provider  configurations  that  you
          define.

   Access Credentials
       The  user,  password,  and  url  will be provided to you by your cloud host. These are all
       required in order for the PROXMOX driver to work.

   Cloud Profiles
       Set     up      an      initial      profile      at      /etc/salt/cloud.profiles      or
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/proxmox.conf:

       • Configure a profile to be used:

          proxmox-ubuntu:
              provider: my-proxmox-config
              image: local:vztmpl/ubuntu-12.04-standard_12.04-1_amd64.tar.gz
              technology: lxc

              # host needs to be set to the configured name of the proxmox host
              # and not the ip address or FQDN of the server
              host: myvmhost
              ip_address: 192.168.100.155
              password: topsecret

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p proxmox-ubuntu myubuntu

       This  will  create  an  instance  named  myubuntu  on  the  cloud host. The minion that is
       installed on this instance will have a hostname of myubuntu.  If the command was  executed
       on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once  the  instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          # salt myubuntu test.version

   Required Settings
       The following settings are always required for PROXMOX:

       • Using the new cloud configuration format:

          my-proxmox-config:
            driver: proxmox
            user: saltcloud@pve
            password: xyzzy
            url: your.proxmox.host

   Optional Settings
       Unlike other cloud providers in Salt Cloud, Proxmox does not utilize a size setting.  This
       is  because Proxmox allows the end-user to specify a more detailed configuration for their
       instances, than is allowed by many  other  cloud  providers.  The  following  options  are
       available to be used in a profile, with their default settings listed.

          # Description of the instance.
          desc: <instance_name>

          # How many CPU cores, and how fast they are (in MHz)
          cpus: 1
          cpuunits: 1000

          # How many megabytes of RAM
          memory: 256

          # How much swap space in MB
          swap: 256

          # Whether to auto boot the vm after the host reboots
          onboot: 1

          # Size of the instance disk (in GiB)
          disk: 10

          # Host to create this vm on
          host: myvmhost

          # Nameservers. Defaults to host
          nameserver: 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

          # Username and password
          ssh_username: root
          password: <value from PROXMOX.password>

          # The name of the image, from ``salt-cloud --list-images proxmox``
          image: local:vztmpl/ubuntu-12.04-standard_12.04-1_amd64.tar.gz

          # Whether or not to verify the SSL cert on the Proxmox host
          verify_ssl: False

          # Network interfaces, netX
          net0: name=eth0,bridge=vmbr0,ip=dhcp

          # Public key to add to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys.
          pubkey: 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABA...'

   QEMU
       Some  functionnalities  works  differently  if  you  use 'qemu' as technology. In order to
       create a new VM with qemu, you need to specificy some  more  information.   You  can  also
       clone a qemu template which already is on your Proxmox server.

       QEMU profile file (for a new VM):

          proxmox-win7:
            # Image of the new VM
            image: image.iso # You can get all your available images using 'salt-cloud --list-images provider_name' (Ex: 'salt-cloud --list-images my-proxmox-config')

            # Technology used to create the VM ('qemu', 'openvz'(on Proxmox <4.x) or 'lxc'(on Proxmox 4.x+))
            technology: qemu

            # Proxmox node name
            host: node_name

            # Proxmox password
            password: your_password

            # Workaround https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/27821
            size: ''

            # RAM size (MB)
            memory: 2048

            # OS Type enum (other / wxp / w2k / w2k3 / w2k8 / wvista / win7 / win8 / l24 / l26 / solaris)
            ostype: win7

            # Hard disk location
            sata0: <location>:<size>, format=<qcow2/vmdk/raw>, size=<size>GB #Example: local:120,format=qcow2,size=120GB

            #CD/DVD Drive
            ide2: <content_location>,media=cdrom #Example: local:iso/name.iso,media=cdrom

            # Network Device
            net0:<model>,bridge=<bridge> #Example: e1000,bridge=vmbr0

            # Enable QEMU Guest Agent (0 / 1)
            agent: 1

            # VM name
            name: Test

       More   information   about   these   parameters   can   be   found   on   Proxmox  API  (‐
       http://pve.proxmox.com/pve2-api-doc/) under the 'POST' method of nodes/{node}/qemu

       QEMU profile file (for a clone):

          proxmox-win7:
            # Enable Clone
            clone: True

            # New VM description
            clone_description: 'description'

            # New VM name
            clone_name: 'name'

            # New VM format (qcow2 / raw / vmdk)
            clone_format: qcow2

            # Full clone (1) or Link clone (0)
            clone_full: 0

            # VMID of Template to clone
            clone_from: ID

            # Technology used to create the VM ('qemu' or 'lxc')
            technology: qemu

            # Proxmox node name
            host: node_name

            # Proxmox password
            password: your_password

            # Workaround https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/27821
            size: ''

       More  information  can  be  found  on   Proxmox   API   under   the   'POST'   method   of
       /nodes/{node}/qemu/{vmid}/clone

       NOTE:
          The  Proxmox  API offers a lot more options and parameters, which are not yet supported
          by this salt-cloud 'overlay'. Feel free to add your contribution by forking the  github
          repository and modifying  the following file: salt/cloud/clouds/proxmox.py

          An easy way to support more parameters for VM creation would be to add the names of the
          optional parameters in the 'create_nodes(vm_)' function, under the  'qemu'  technology.
          But it requires you to dig into the code ...

   Getting Started With Scaleway
       Scaleway  is  the  first  IaaS  host worldwide to offer an ARM based cloud. It’s the ideal
       platform for horizontal scaling with BareMetal  SSD  servers.  The  solution  provides  on
       demand  resources:  it  comes  with  on-demand SSD storage, movable IPs , images, security
       group and an Object Storage solution. https://scaleway.com

   Configuration
       Using Salt for Scaleway, requires an access key and an API token. API  tokens  are  unique
       identifiers  associated  with  your Scaleway account.  To retrieve your access key and API
       token, log-in to the Scaleway control panel, open the pull-down menu on your account  name
       and click on "My Credentials" link.

       If  you do not have API token you can create one by clicking the "Create New Token" button
       on the right corner.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers or any file in the
          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

   Getting Started With Saltify
       The  Saltify  driver is a driver for installing Salt on existing machines (virtual or bare
       metal).

   Dependencies
       The Saltify driver has no external dependencies.

   Configuration
       Because the Saltify driver does not use an actual cloud  provider  host,  it  can  have  a
       simple  provider  configuration.  The  only thing that is required to be set is the driver
       name, and any other potentially useful information, like the location of the salt-master:

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers file or any file in
          # the /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-saltify-config:
            minion:
              master: 111.222.333.444
            driver: saltify

       However, if you wish to  use  the  more  advanced  capabilities  of  salt-cloud,  such  as
       rebooting,  listing,  and  disconnecting machines, then the salt master must fill the role
       usually performed by a vendor's cloud management system. The salt master must  be  running
       on the salt-cloud machine, and created nodes must be connected to the master.

       Additional  information  about  which  configuration options apply to which actions can be
       studied in the Saltify Module documentation  and  the  Miscellaneous  Salt  Cloud  Options
       document.

   Profiles
       Saltify  requires  a  separate  profile  to be configured for each machine that needs Salt
       installed [1]. The initial profile can be set up at  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles  or  in  the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/  directory.  Each  profile  requires  both  an ssh_host and an
       ssh_username key parameter as well as either an key_filename or a password.

       [1]  Unless you are using a map file to provide the unique parameters.

            Profile configuration example:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          salt-this-machine:
            ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
            ssh_username: root
            key_filename: '/etc/salt/mysshkey.pem'
            provider: my-saltify-config

       The machine can now be "Salted" with the following command:

          salt-cloud -p salt-this-machine my-machine

       This will install salt on the machine specified by the cloud  profile,  salt-this-machine,
       and  will give the machine the minion id of my-machine. If the command was executed on the
       salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be accepted by the master.

       Once a salt-minion has been successfully installed on the instance, connectivity to it can
       be verified with Salt:

          salt my-machine test.version

   Destroy Options
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       For  obvious reasons, the destroy action does not actually vaporize hardware.  If the salt
       master is connected, it can tear down parts of the client machines.  It  will  remove  the
       client's key from the salt master, and can execute the following options:

          - remove_config_on_destroy: true
            # default: true
            # Deactivate salt-minion on reboot and
            # delete the minion config and key files from its "/etc/salt" directory,
            #   NOTE: If deactivation was unsuccessful (older Ubuntu machines) then when
            #   salt-minion restarts it will automatically create a new, unwanted, set
            #   of key files. Use the "force_minion_config" option to replace them.

          - shutdown_on_destroy: false
            # default: false
            # last of all, send a "shutdown" command to the client.

   Wake On LAN
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       In  addition  to  connecting  a  hardware machine to a Salt master, you have the option of
       sending a wake-on-LAN magic packet to start that machine running.

       The "magic packet" must be sent by an existing salt minion which is on  the  same  network
       segment  as  the  target  machine.  (Or your router must be set up especially to route WoL
       packets.) Your  target  machine  must  be  set  up  to  listen  for  WoL  and  to  respond
       appropriately.

       You must provide the Salt node id of the machine which will send the WoL packet (parameter
       wol_sender_node), and the hardware  MAC  address  of  the  machine  you  intend  to  wake,
       (parameter  wake_on_lan_mac).  If  both  parameters are defined, the WoL will be sent. The
       cloud master will then sleep a while (parameter wol_boot_wait) to give the target  machine
       time  to  boot  up before we start probing its SSH port to begin deploying Salt to it. The
       default sleep time is 30 seconds.

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          salt-this-machine:
            ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
            ssh_username: root
            key_filename: '/etc/salt/mysshkey.pem'
            provider: my-saltify-config
            wake_on_lan_mac: '00:e0:4c:70:2a:b2'  # found with ifconfig
            wol_sender_node: bevymaster  # its on this network segment
            wol_boot_wait: 45  # seconds to sleep

   Using Map Files
       The settings explained in the section above may also be set in a map file. An  example  of
       how to use the Saltify driver with a map file follows:

          # /etc/salt/saltify-map

          make_salty:
            - my-instance-0:
                ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
                ssh_username: root
                password: very-bad-password
            - my-instance-1:
                ssh_host: 44.33.22.11
                ssh_username: root
                password: another-bad-pass

       In  this example, the names my-instance-0 and my-instance-1 will be the identifiers of the
       deployed minions.

       Note: The ssh_host directive is also used for Windows  hosts,  even  though  they  do  not
       typically run the SSH service. It indicates IP address or host name for the target system.

       Note:  When  using a cloud map with the Saltify driver, the name of the profile to use, in
       this case make_salty, must be defined in a profile config. For example:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          make_salty:
            provider: my-saltify-config

       The machines listed in the map file can now be "Salted" by applying the following salt map
       command:

          salt-cloud -m /etc/salt/saltify-map

       This  command  will  install  salt on the machines specified in the map and will give each
       machine their minion id of my-instance-0 and my-instance-1, respectively. If  the  command
       was executed on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Connectivity to the new "Salted" instances can now be verified with Salt:

          salt 'my-instance-*' test.version

   Bulk Deployments
       When  deploying  large  numbers  of  Salt  Minions  using Saltify, it may be preferable to
       organize the configuration in a way that  duplicates  data  as  little  as  possible.  For
       example,  if a group of target systems have the same credentials, they can be specified in
       the profile, rather than in a map file.

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/saltify.conf

          make_salty:
            provider: my-saltify-config
            ssh_username: root
            password: very-bad-password

          # /etc/salt/saltify-map

          make_salty:
            - my-instance-0:
                ssh_host: 12.34.56.78
            - my-instance-1:
                ssh_host: 44.33.22.11

       If  ssh_host  is  not  provided,  its  default  value  will  be  the   Minion   identifier
       (my-instance-0  and my-instance-1, in the example above). For deployments with working DNS
       resolution, this can save a lot of redundant data in the map. Here is an example map  file
       using DNS names instead of IP addresses:

          # /etc/salt/saltify-map

          make_salty:
            - my-instance-0
            - my-instance-1

   Credential Verification
       Because the Saltify driver does not actually create VM's, unlike other salt-cloud drivers,
       it has special behaviour  when  the  deploy  option  is  set  to  False.  When  the  cloud
       configuration  specifies deploy: False, the Saltify driver will attempt to authenticate to
       the target node(s) and return True for each one that  succeeds.  This  can  be  useful  to
       verify  ports,  protocols, services and credentials are correctly configured before a live
       deployment.

       Return values:True: Credential verification succeeded

              • False: Credential verification succeeded

              • None: Credential verification was not attempted.

   Getting Started With SoftLayer
       SoftLayer is a public cloud host, and baremetal hardware hosting service.

   Dependencies
       The SoftLayer driver for Salt Cloud requires the softlayer package, which is available  at
       PyPI:

       https://pypi.org/project/SoftLayer/

       This package can be installed using pip or easy_install:

          # pip install softlayer
          # easy_install softlayer

   Configuration
       Set up the cloud config at /etc/salt/cloud.providers:

          # Note: These examples are for /etc/salt/cloud.providers

            my-softlayer:
              # Set up the location of the salt master
              minion:
                master: saltmaster.example.com

              # Set the SoftLayer access credentials (see below)
              user: MYUSER1138
              apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'

              driver: softlayer

            my-softlayer-hw:
              # Set up the location of the salt master
              minion:
                master: saltmaster.example.com

              # Set the SoftLayer access credentials (see below)
              user: MYUSER1138
              apikey: 'e3b68aa711e6deadc62d5b76355674beef7cc3116062ddbacafe5f7e465bfdc9'

              driver: softlayer_hw

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Access Credentials
       The user setting is the same user as is used to  log  into  the  SoftLayer  Administration
       area. The apikey setting is found inside the Admin area after logging in:

       • Hover over the Account menu item.

       • Click the Users link.

       • Find the API Key column and click View.

   Profiles
   Cloud Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
            provider: my-softlayer
            image: UBUNTU_LATEST
            cpu_number: 1
            ram: 1024
            disk_size: 100
            local_disk: True
            hourly_billing: True
            domain: example.com
            location: sjc01
            # Optional
            max_net_speed: 1000
            private_vlan: 396
            private_network: True
            private_ssh: True
            # Use a dedicated host instead of cloud
            dedicated_host_id: 1234
            # May be used _instead_of_ image
            global_identifier: 320d8be5-46c0-dead-cafe-13e3c51

       Most of the above items are required; optional items are specified below.

   image
       Images to build an instance can be found using the --list-images option:

          # salt-cloud --list-images my-softlayer

       The setting used will be labeled as template.

   cpu_number
       This  is  the  number of CPU cores that will be used for this instance. This number may be
       dependent upon the image that is used. For instance:

          Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (1 - 4 Core):
              ----------
              name:
                  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (1 - 4 Core)
              template:
                  REDHAT_6_64
          Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (5 - 100 Core):
              ----------
              name:
                  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 - Minimal Install (64 bit) (5 - 100 Core)
              template:
                  REDHAT_6_64

       Note that the template (meaning, the image option) for both of these is the same, but  the
       names suggests how many CPU cores are supported.

   ram
       This is the amount of memory, in megabytes, that will be allocated to this instance.

   disk_size
       The amount of disk space that will be allocated to this image, in gigabytes.

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
            disk_size: 100

   Using Multiple Disks
       New in version 2015.8.1.

       SoftLayer  allows  up  to  5  disks  to  be specified for a virtual machine upon creation.
       Multiple disks can be specified either as a list or a comma-delimited  string.  The  first
       disk_size specified in the string or list will be the first disk size assigned to the VM.

       List Example: .. code-block:: yaml

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
                 disk_size: ['100', '20', '20']

       String Example: .. code-block:: yaml

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
                 disk_size: '100, 20, 20'

   local_disk
       When  true  the  disks for the computing instance will be provisioned on the host which it
       runs, otherwise SAN disks will be provisioned.

   hourly_billing
       When true the computing instance will be billed on hourly  usage,  otherwise  it  will  be
       billed on a monthly basis.

   domain
       The  domain  name  that  will  be  used in the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for this
       instance. The domain setting will be used in conjunction with the instance  name  to  form
       the FQDN.

   use_fqdn
       If  set  to  True, the Minion will be identified by the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name)
       which is a result of  combining  the  domain  configuration  value  and  the  Minion  name
       specified  either via the CLI or a map file rather than only using the short host name, or
       Minion ID. Default is False.

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       For example, if the value of domain is example.com and a new VM was created  via  the  CLI
       with  salt-cloud  -p  base_softlayer_ubuntu  my-vm,  the  resulting  Minion  ID  would  be
       my-vm.example.com.

       NOTE:
          When enabling the use_fqdn setting, the Minion ID will be the FQDN  and  will  interact
          with salt commands with the FQDN instead of the short hostname. However, due to the way
          the SoftLayer API is constructed, some Salt Cloud functions such as  listing  nodes  or
          destroying VMs will only list the short hostname of the VM instead of the FQDN.

       Example  output  displaying the SoftLayer hostname quirk mentioned in the note above (note
       the Minion ID is my-vm.example.com, but the VM to be destroyed is listed  with  its  short
       hostname, my-vm):

          # salt-key -L

   location
       Images to build an instance can be found using the --list-locations option:

          # salt-cloud --list-location my-softlayer

   max_net_speed
       Specifies  the  connection  speed  for  the instance's network components. This setting is
       optional. By default, this is set to 10.

   post_uri
       Specifies the uri location of the script to be downloaded and run after  the  instance  is
       provisioned.

       New in version 2015.8.1.

       Example: .. code-block:: yaml

          base_softlayer_ubuntu:
                 post_uri: 'https://SOMESERVERIP:8000/myscript.sh'

   public_vlan
       If  it  is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific frontend VLAN, the ID
       for that VLAN can be specified in either the provider or profile configuration.

       This ID can be queried using the list_vlans function, as described below. This setting  is
       optional.

       If this setting is set to None, salt-cloud will connect to the private ip of the server.

       NOTE:
          If  this  setting  is  not  provided  and  the  server is not built with a public vlan,
          private_ssh or private_wds will need to be set to make sure that salt-cloud attempts to
          connect to the private ip.

   private_vlan
       If  it  is  necessary for an instance to be created within a specific backend VLAN, the ID
       for that VLAN can be specified in either the provider or profile configuration.

       This ID can be queried using the list_vlans function, as described below. This setting  is
       optional.

   private_network
       If  a  server  is  to  only  be  used  internally,  meaning it does not have a public VLAN
       associated with it, this value would be set to True. This setting is optional. The default
       is False.

   private_ssh or private_wds
       Whether  to run the deploy script on the server using the public IP address or the private
       IP address. If set to True, Salt Cloud will attempt to SSH or WinRM into  the  new  server
       using the private IP address. The default is False.  This settiong is optional.

   global_identifier
       When creating an instance using a custom template, this option is set to the corresponding
       value obtained using the list_custom_images function. This option will not be used  if  an
       image is set, and if an image is not set, it is required.

       The profile can be realized now with a salt command:

          # salt-cloud -p base_softlayer_ubuntu myserver

       Using the above configuration, this will create myserver.example.com.

       Once  the  instance has been created with salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          # salt 'myserver.example.com' test.version

   Dedicated Host
       Soflayer allows the creation of new VMs in a dedicated host. This means that you can order
       and pay a fixed amount for a bare metal dedicated host and use it to provision as many VMs
       as you can fit in there. If you want your VMs to be launched in a dedicated host,  instead
       of Sofltayer's cloud, set the dedicated_host_id parameter in your profile.

   dedicated_host_id
       The  id  of  the  dedicated  host where the VMs should be created. If not set, VMs will be
       created in Softlayer's cloud instead.

   Bare metal Profiles
       Set up an initial profile at /etc/salt/cloud.profiles:

          base_softlayer_hw_centos:
            provider: my-softlayer-hw
            # CentOS 6.0 - Minimal Install (64 bit)
            image: 13963
            # 2 x 2.0 GHz Core Bare Metal Instance - 2 GB Ram
            size: 1921
            # 500GB SATA II
            hdd: 1267
            # San Jose 01
            location: 168642
            domain: example.com
            # Optional
            vlan: 396
            port_speed: 273
            banwidth: 248

       Most of the above items are required; optional items are specified below.

   image
       Images to build an instance can be found using the --list-images option:

          # salt-cloud --list-images my-softlayer-hw

       A list of id`s and names will be provided. The `name will describe  the  operating  system
       and architecture. The id will be the setting to be used in the profile.

   size
       Sizes to build an instance can be found using the --list-sizes option:

          # salt-cloud --list-sizes my-softlayer-hw

       A  list of id`s and names will be provided. The `name will describe the speed and quantity
       of CPU cores, and the amount of memory that the hardware will contain. The id will be  the
       setting to be used in the profile.

       instances on SoftLayer:

          1267: 500GB SATA II

       The hdd setting in the profile should be 1267. Other sizes may be added in the future.

   location
       Locations to build an instance can be found using the --list-images option:

          # salt-cloud --list-locations my-softlayer-hw

       A list of IDs and names will be provided. The location will describe the location in human
       terms. The id will be the setting to be used in the profile.

   domain
       The  domain  name  that  will  be  used in the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for this
       instance. The domain setting will be used in conjunction with the instance  name  to  form
       the FQDN.

   vlan
       If  it  is necessary for an instance to be created within a specific VLAN, the ID for that
       VLAN can be specified in either the provider or profile configuration.

       This ID can be queried using the list_vlans function, as described below.

   port_speed
       Specifies the speed for the instance's network port. This setting refers to an  ID  within
       the  SoftLayer  API,  which  sets the port speed. This setting is optional. The default is
       273, or, 100 Mbps Public & Private Networks. The following settings are available:

       • 273: 100 Mbps Public & Private Networks

   Actions
       The following actions are currently supported by the SoftLayer Salt Cloud driver.

   show_instance
       This action is a thin wrapper around --full-query, which  displays  details  on  a  single
       instance  only. In an environment with several machines, this will save a user from having
       to sort through all instance data, just to examine a single instance.

          $ salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Functions
       The following functions are currently supported by the SoftLayer Salt Cloud driver.

   list_vlans
       This function lists all VLANs associated with the account, and all  known  data  from  the
       SoftLayer API concerning those VLANs.

          $ salt-cloud -f list_vlans my-softlayer
          $ salt-cloud -f list_vlans my-softlayer-hw

       The id returned in this list is necessary for the vlan option when creating an instance.

   list_custom_images
       This  function lists any custom templates associated with the account, that can be used to
       create a new instance.

          $ salt-cloud -f list_custom_images my-softlayer

       The globalIdentifier returned in this list is necessary for the  global_identifier  option
       when creating an image using a custom template.

   Optional Products for SoftLayer HW
       The softlayer_hw driver supports the ability to add optional products, which are supported
       by SoftLayer's API. These products each have an ID  associated  with  them,  that  can  be
       passed into Salt Cloud with the optional_products option:

          softlayer_hw_test:
            provider: my-softlayer-hw
            # CentOS 6.0 - Minimal Install (64 bit)
            image: 13963
            # 2 x 2.0 GHz Core Bare Metal Instance - 2 GB Ram

   Getting Started With Vagrant
       The Vagrant driver is a new, experimental driver for  spinning  up  a  VagrantBox  virtual
       machine, and installing Salt on it.

   Dependencies
       The Vagrant driver itself has no external dependencies.

       The machine which will host the VagrantBox must be an already existing minion of the cloud
       server's Salt master.  It must have Vagrant installed, and  a  Vagrant-compatible  virtual
       machine  engine,  such  as  VirtualBox.   (Note: The Vagrant driver does not depend on the
       salt-cloud VirtualBox driver in any way.)

       [Caution: The version of Vagrant packaged for apt install in Ubuntu 16.04 will not connect
       a bridged network adapter correctly. Use a version downloaded directly from the web site.]

       Include the Vagrant guest editions plugin: vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest.

   Configuration
       Configuration  of  the client virtual machine (using VirtualBox, VMware, etc) will be done
       by Vagrant as specified in the Vagrantfile on the host machine.

       Salt-cloud will push the commands to install and provision a salt minion  on  the  virtual
       machine,  so you need not (perhaps should not) provision salt in your Vagrantfile, in most
       cases.

       If, however, your cloud master cannot open an SSH connection to the child VM, you may need
       to  let  Vagrant  provision the VM with Salt, and use some other method (such as passing a
       pillar dictionary to the VM) to pass the master's IP address to the VM. The  VM  can  then
       attempt  to  reach  the  salt  master  in the usual way for non-cloud minions. Specify the
       profile configuration argument as deploy: False to prevent the cloud master from trying.

          # Note: This example is for /etc/salt/cloud.providers file or any file in
          # the /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/ directory.

          my-vagrant-config:
            minion:
              master: 111.222.333.444
            provider: vagrant

       Because the Vagrant driver needs a place to store the mapping between the  node  name  you
       use  for  Salt commands and the Vagrantfile which controls the VM, you must configure your
       salt minion as a Salt smb server.  (See host provisioning example below.)

   Profiles
       Vagrant requires a profile to be configured for each machine that  needs  Salt  installed.
       The   initial   profile   can   be   set   up   at   /etc/salt/cloud.profiles  or  in  the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory.

       Each profile requires a vagrantfile parameter. If  the  Vagrantfile  has  definitions  for
       multiple machines then you need a machine parameter,

       Salt-cloud  uses SSH to provision the minion. There must be a routable path from the cloud
       master to the VM. Usually, you will want to use a bridged network  adapter  for  SSH.  The
       address  may  not  be  known  until  DHCP  assigns  it.  If  ssh_host  is not defined, and
       target_network is defined, the driver will attempt to read the address from the output  of
       an  ifconfig command. Lacking either setting, the driver will try to use the value Vagrant
       returns as its ssh_host, which will work only if the cloud master is running somewhere  on
       the same host.

       The  target_network setting should be used to identify the IP network your bridged adapter
       is expected to appear on.  Use CIDR  notation,  like  target_network:  '2001:DB8::/32'  or
       target_network: '192.0.2.0/24'.

       Profile configuration example:

          # /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/vagrant.conf

          vagrant-machine:
            host: my-vhost  # the Salt id of the virtual machine's host computer.
            provider: my-vagrant-config
            cwd: /srv/machines  # the path to your Vagrantfile.
            vagrant_runas: my-username  # the username who defined the Vagrantbox on the host
            # vagrant_up_timeout: 300 # (seconds) timeout for cmd.run of the "vagrant up" command
            # vagrant_provider: '' # option for "vagrant up" like: "--provider vmware_fusion"
            # ssh_host: None  # "None" means try to find the routable IP address from "ifconfig"
            # ssh_username: '' # also required when ssh_host is used.
            # target_network: None  # Expected CIDR address range of your bridged network
            # force_minion_config: false  # Set "true" to re-purpose an existing VM

       The machine can now be created and configured with the following command:

          salt-cloud -p vagrant-machine my-id

       This will create the machine specified by the cloud profile vagrant-machine, and will give
       the machine the minion id of my-id. If the cloud master is also the salt-master, its  Salt
       key will automatically be accepted on the master.

       Once a salt-minion has been successfully installed on the instance, connectivity to it can
       be verified with Salt:

          salt my-id test.version

   Provisioning a Vagrant cloud host (example)
       In order to query or control minions it created, each host minion needs to track the  Salt
       node  names  associated  with any guest virtual machines on it.  It does that using a Salt
       sdb database.

       The Salt sdb  is  not  configured  by  default.  The  following  example  shows  a  simple
       installation.

       This example assumes:

       • you are on a large network using the 10.x.x.x IP address space

       • your Salt master's Salt id is "bevymaster"

       • it will also be your salt-cloud controller

       • it is at hardware address 10.124.30.7

       • it is running a recent Debian family Linux (raspbian)

       • your workstation is a Salt minion of bevymaster

       • your workstation's minion id is "my_laptop"

       • VirtualBox has been installed on "my_laptop" (apt install is okay)

       • Vagrant was installed from vagrantup.com. (not the 16.04 Ubuntu apt)

       • "my_laptop" has done "vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest"

       • the VM you want to start is on "my_laptop" at "/home/my_username/Vagrantfile"

          # file /etc/salt/minion.d/vagrant_sdb.conf on host computer "my_laptop"
          #  -- this sdb database is required by the Vagrant module --
          vagrant_sdb_data:  # The sdb database must have this name.
            driver: sqlite3  # Let's use SQLite to store the data ...
            database: /var/cache/salt/vagrant.sqlite  # ... in this file ...
            table: sdb  # ... using this table name.
            create_table: True  # if not present

       Remember to re-start your minion after changing its configuration files...
          sudo systemctl restart salt-minion

   Getting Started with VEXXHOST
       VEXXHOST  is a cloud computing host which provides Canadian cloud computing services which
       are based in Monteral and use the libcloud OpenStack driver.  VEXXHOST currently runs  the
       Havana  release  of  OpenStack.  When provisioning new instances, they automatically get a
       public IP and private IP address.  Therefore, you do not need to assign a floating  IP  to
       access your instance after it's booted.

   Cloud Provider Configuration
       To  use  the  openstack  driver for the VEXXHOST public cloud, you will need to set up the
       cloud provider configuration file as in the example below:

       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/vexxhost.conf: In order to use the VEXXHOST public cloud,  you
       will  need to setup a cloud provider configuration file as in the example below which uses
       the OpenStack driver.

          my-vexxhost-config:
            # Set the location of the salt-master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

            # Configure VEXXHOST using the OpenStack plugin
            #
            identity_url: http://auth.api.thenebulacloud.com:5000/v2.0/tokens
            compute_name: nova

            # Set the compute region:
            #
            compute_region: na-yul-nhs1

            # Configure VEXXHOST authentication credentials
            #
            user: your-tenant-id
            password: your-api-key
            tenant: your-tenant-name

            # keys to allow connection to the instance launched
            #
            ssh_key_name: yourkey
            ssh_key_file: /path/to/key/yourkey.priv

            driver: openstack

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was  made  to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in cloud profile
          definitions. Cloud provider definitions now use driver  to  refer  to  the  Salt  cloud
          module  that  provides  the  underlying functionality to connect to a cloud host, while
          cloud profiles continue to use provider to refer to provider  configurations  that  you
          define.

   Authentication
       All  of the authentication fields that you need can be found by logging into your VEXXHOST
       customer center.  Once you've logged in, you will need to click on "CloudConsole" and then
       click on "API Credentials".

   Cloud Profile Configuration
       In  order to get the correct image UUID and the instance type to use in the cloud profile,
       you can run the following command respectively:

          # salt-cloud --list-images=vexxhost-config
          # salt-cloud --list-sizes=vexxhost-config

       Once you have that, you can go ahead and create a new cloud profile.   This  profile  will
       build an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS nb.2G instance.

       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/vh_ubuntu1204_2G.conf:

          vh_ubuntu1204_2G:
            provider: my-vexxhost-config
            image: 4051139f-750d-4d72-8ef0-074f2ccc7e5a
            size: nb.2G

   Provision an instance
       To  create  an instance based on the sample profile that we created above, you can run the
       following salt-cloud command.

          # salt-cloud -p vh_ubuntu1204_2G vh_instance1

       Typically, instances are provisioned in under 30 seconds on  the  VEXXHOST  public  cloud.
       After the instance provisions, it will be set up a minion and then return all the instance
       information once it's complete.

       Once the instance has been setup, you can test connectivity to it by running the following
       command:

          # salt vh_instance1 test.version

       You  can now continue to provision new instances and they will all automatically be set up
       as minions of the master you've defined in the configuration file.

   Getting Started With Virtualbox
       The Virtualbox cloud module allows you to manage a  local  Virtualbox  hypervisor.  Remote
       hypervisors may come later on.

   Dependencies
       The  virtualbox  module for Salt Cloud requires the Virtualbox SDK which is contained in a
       virtualbox installation from

       https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

   Configuration
       The Virtualbox cloud module just needs to use the virtualbox driver  for  now.  Virtualbox
       will be run as the running user.

       /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/virtualbox.conf:

          virtualbox-config:
             driver: virtualbox

   Profiles
       Set      up      an      initial      profile      at      /etc/salt/cloud.profiles     or
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/virtualbox.conf:

          virtualbox-test:
              provider: virtualbox-config
              clonefrom: VM_to_clone_from
              # Optional
              power_on: True
              deploy: True
              ssh_username: a_username
              password: a_password
              sudo: a_username
              sudo_password: a_password
              # Example minion config
              minion:
                  master: localhost
              make_master: True

       clonefrom Mandatory
              Enter the name of the VM/template to clone from.

       So far only machines can only be cloned and automatically provisioned by Salt Cloud.

   Provisioning
       In order to provision when creating a new machine power_on and deploy have to be True.

       Furthermore to connect to the VM ssh_username and password will have to be set.

       sudo and sudo_password are the credentials for getting root access in order to deploy salt

   Actions
       start  Attempt to boot a VM by name. VMs should have unique names in  order  to  boot  the
              correct one.

       stop   Attempt to stop a VM. This is akin to a force shutdown or 5 second press.

   Functions
       show_image
              Show all available information about a VM given by the image parameter

                 $ salt-cloud -f show_image virtualbox image=my_vm_name

   Getting Started With VMware
       New in version 2015.5.4.

       Author: Nitin Madhok <nmadhok@g.clemson.edu>

       The VMware cloud module allows you to manage VMware ESX, ESXi, and vCenter.

   Dependencies
       The vmware module for Salt Cloud requires the pyVmomi package, which is available at PyPI:

       https://pypi.org/project/pyvmomi/

       This package can be installed using pip or easy_install:

          pip install pyvmomi
          easy_install pyvmomi

       NOTE:
          Version 6.0 of pyVmomi has some problems with SSL error handling on certain versions of
          Python. If using version 6.0 of pyVmomi, the machine that you  are  running  the  proxy
          minion  process  from must have either Python 2.7.9 or newer This is due to an upstream
          dependency in pyVmomi 6.0 that is not supported in Python version 2.6 to 2.7.8. If  the
          version  of  Python  running  the salt-cloud command is not in the supported range, you
          will need to install  an  earlier  version  of  pyVmomi.  See  Issue  #29537  for  more
          information.

       NOTE:
          pyVmomi  doesn't  expose  the  ability to specify the locale when connecting to VMware.
          This causes parsing issues when connecting to an instance of  VMware  running  under  a
          non-English  locale.  Until  this  feature  is  added  upstream Issue #38402 contains a
          workaround.

   Configuration
       The VMware cloud module needs the vCenter or ESX/ESXi URL, username and password to be set
       up      in     the     cloud     configuration     at     /etc/salt/cloud.providers     or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/vmware.conf:

          my-vmware-config:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: '10.20.30.40'

          vcenter01:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'vcenter01.domain.com'
            protocol: 'https'
            port: 443

          vcenter02:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'vcenter02.domain.com'
            protocol: 'http'
            port: 80

          esx01:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'admin'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'esx01.domain.com'

       NOTE:
          Optionally, protocol and port can be specified if the vCenter server is not  using  the
          defaults. Default is protocol: https and port: 443.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in  cloud provider configuration was renamed to driver.  This
          change was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is  used  in  cloud
          profile  configuration.  Cloud  provider  configuration now uses driver to refer to the
          salt-cloud driver that provides the underlying functionality  to  connect  to  a  cloud
          provider,  while  cloud profile configuration continues to use provider to refer to the
          cloud provider configuration that you define.

   Profiles
       Set     up      an      initial      profile      at      /etc/salt/cloud.profiles      or

                            attached.  This should be  specified  only  when  creating  both  the
                            specified  IDE  controller  as  well  as the CD/DVD drive at the same
                            time.

              disk   Enter the disk specification here. If the hard disk doesn't exist,  it  will
                     be  created with the provided size. If the hard disk already exists, it will
                     be expanded if the provided size is greater than the  current  size  of  the
                     disk.

                     eagerly_scrub
                            Specifies whether the disk should be rewrite with zeros during  thick
                            provisioning   or   not.    Default   is  eagerly_scrub:  False.   ..
                            versionadded:: 2018.3.0

                     controller
                            Specify the SCSI controller  label  to  which  this  disk  should  be
                            attached.   This  should  be  specified  only  when creating both the
                            specified SCSI controller as well as the hard disk at the same time.

                     datastore
                            The name of a valid datastore should you wish the new disk to be in a

              network
                     Enter the network adapter specification here. If the network adapter doesn't
                     exist, a new network adapter will be  created  with  the  specified  network
                     name,  type  and other configuration. If the network adapter already exists,
                     it will be reconfigured with the specifications.  The  following  additional
                     options can be specified per network adapter (See example above):

                     name   Enter the network name you want the network adapter to be mapped to.

                     adapter_type
                            Enter  the  network  adapter  type  you  want  to  create.  Currently
                            supported types are vmxnet, vmxnet2, vmxnet3, e1000 and  e1000e.   If
                            no type is specified, by default vmxnet3 will be used.

                     gateway
                            Enter the gateway for the network as a list. If the network specified
                            is DHCP enabled, you do not have to specify this.

                     subnet_mask
                            Enter  the  subnet  mask for the network. If the network specified is
                            DHCP enabled, you do not have to specify this.

                     domain Enter the domain to be used with the network adapter. If the  network
                            specified is DHCP enabled, you do not have to specify this.

                     mac    Enter  the  MAC for this network adapter. If not specified an address
                            will be selected automatically.

              scsi   Enter the SCSI controller specification here. If the SCSI controller doesn't
                     exist,  a  new SCSI controller will be created of the specified type. If the
                     SCSI  controller  already  exists,  it  will  be   reconfigured   with   the
                     specifications.  The  following additional options can be specified per SCSI
                     controller:

                     type   Enter  the  SCSI  controller  type  you  want  to  create.  Currently
                            supported types are lsilogic, lsilogic_sas and paravirtual. Type must
                            be specified when creating a new SCSI controller.

                     bus_sharing
                            Specify this if sharing of virtual disks between virtual machines  is
                            desired.  The following can be specified:

                            virtual
                                   Virtual  disks  can  be shared between virtual machines on the
                                   same server.

                            physical
                                   Virtual disks can be shared between virtual  machines  on  any

                            no     Virtual disks cannot be shared between virtual machines.

              ide    Enter  the  IDE controller specification here. If the IDE controller doesn't
                     exist, a new IDE controller  is  created.  If  the  IDE  controller  already
                     exists,  no further changes to it are made. The IDE controller specification
                     is a dictionary.

                        ide:
                          IDE 2: {}

       domain Enter the global domain name to be used for DNS. If not specified  and  if  the  VM
              name is a FQDN, domain is set to the domain from the VM name. Default is local.

       dns_servers
              Enter the list of DNS servers to use in order of priority.

       resourcepool
              Enter  the  name  of  the  resourcepool  to which the new virtual machine should be
              attached. This determines what compute resources will be available to the clone.

              NOTE:

                 • For  a  clone  operation  from  a  virtual  machine,  it  will  use  the  same
                   resourcepool as the original virtual machine unless specified.

                 • For  a clone operation from a template to a virtual machine, specifying either
                   this or cluster is required. If both are  specified,  the  resourcepool  value
                   will be used.

                 • For a clone operation to a template, this argument is ignored.

       cluster
              Enter the name of the cluster whose resource pool the new virtual machine should be
              attached to.

              NOTE:

                 • For a clone operation from a virtual machine, it will use the  same  cluster's
                   resourcepool as the original virtual machine unless specified.

                 • For  a clone operation from a template to a virtual machine, specifying either
                   this or resourcepool is required. If  both  are  specified,  the  resourcepool
                   value will be used.

                 • For a clone operation to a template, this argument is ignored.

       datastore
              Enter  the name of the datastore or the datastore cluster where the virtual machine
              should be located on physical storage. If not specified, the current  datastore  is
              used.

              NOTE:

                 • If  you  specify  a  datastore  cluster  name,  DRS  Storage recommendation is
                   automatically applied.

                 • If you specify a datastore name, DRS Storage recommendation is disabled.

       folder Enter the name of the folder that will contain the new virtual machine.

              NOTE:

                 • For a clone operation from a VM/template, the new VM/template will be added to
                   the same folder that the original VM/template belongs to unless specified.

                 • If both folder and datacenter are specified, the folder value will be used.

       datacenter
              Enter the name of the datacenter that will contain the new virtual machine.

              NOTE:

                 • For a clone operation from a VM/template, the new VM/template will be added to
                   the same folder that the original VM/template belongs to unless specified.

                 • If both folder and datacenter are specified, the folder value will be used.

       host   Enter the name of the target host where the virtual machine should be registered.

              If not specified:

              NOTE:

                 • If resource pool is not specified, current host is used.

                 • If resource pool is specified, and the target pool  represents  a  stand-alone
                   host, the host is used.

                 • If  resource  pool  is specified, and the target pool represents a DRS-enabled
                   cluster, a host selected by DRS is used.

                 • If resource pool is specified and the target pool represents a cluster without
                   DRS enabled, an InvalidArgument exception be thrown.

       template
              Specifies  whether  the  new virtual machine should be marked as a template or not.
              Default is template: False.

       power_on
              Specifies whether the new virtual machine should be powered on or not. If template:
              True is set, this field is ignored. Default is power_on: True.

       extra_config
              Specifies  the  additional  configuration information for the virtual machine. This
              describes a set of modifications to the additional options. If the key  is  already
              present,  it  will be reset with the new value provided. Otherwise, a new option is
              added. Keys with empty values will be removed.

       annotation
              User-provided description of the virtual machine. This will store a message in  the
              vSphere interface, under the annotations section in the Summary view of the virtual
              machine.

       deploy Specifies if salt should be installed on the newly created VM. Default is  True  so
              salt  will  be installed using the bootstrap script. If template: True or power_on:
              False is set, this field is ignored and salt will not be installed.

       wait_for_ip_timeout
              When deploy: True, this timeout determines the maximum  time  to  wait  for  VMware
              tools  to  be  installed  on  the  virtual  machine. If this timeout is reached, an
              attempt to determine the client's IP will be made by resolving the VM's  name.   By
              lowering  this  value  a salt bootstrap can be fully automated for systems that are
              not built with VMware tools.  Default is wait_for_ip_timeout: 1200.

       customization
              Specify  whether  the  new  virtual  machine  should  be  customized  or  not.   If
              customization:  False  is  set,  the  new  virtual  machine will not be customized.
              Default is customization: True.

       private_key
              Specify the path to the private key to use to be able to ssh to the VM.

       ssh_username
              Specify the username to use in order to ssh to the VM. Default is root

       password
              Specify a password to use in order to ssh to the VM. If private_key  is  specified,
              you do not need to specify this.

       minion Specify  custom  minion  configuration  you  want  the  salt minion to have. A good
              example would be to specify the master as the IP/DNS name of the master.

       file_map
              Specify file/files you want to copy to the VM before the bootstrap  script  is  run
              and  salt  is  installed.  A good example of using this would be if you need to put
              custom repo files on the server in case your server will be in  a  private  network
              and cannot reach external networks.

       hardware_version
              Specify  the  virtual hardware version for the vm/template that is supported by the
              host.

       image  Specify the guest id of the VM. For a full list of supported values see the  VMware
              vSphere documentation:

              https://code.vmware.com/apis?pid=com.vmware.wssdk.apiref.doc&release=vsphere-60&topic=vim.vm.GuestOsDescriptor.GuestOsIdentifier.html

              NOTE:
                 For a clone operation, this argument is ignored.

       win_username
              Specify windows vm administrator account.

              NOTE:
                 Windows template should have "administrator" account.

       win_password
              Specify windows vm administrator account password.

              NOTE:
                 During network configuration (if network specified), it is used to  specify  new
                 administrator password for the machine.

       win_organization_name

              Specify windows vm user's organization. Default organization name is Organization
                     VMware vSphere documentation:

              https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.customization.UserData.html

       win_user_fullname

              Specify windows vm user's fullname. Default fullname is Windows User
                     VMware vSphere documentation:

              https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.customization.UserData.html

       plain_text
              Flag  to  specify  whether  or  not  the  password  is  in  plain text, rather than
              encrypted.  VMware vSphere documentation:

              https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/vc-sdk/visdk25pubs/ReferenceGuide/vim.vm.customization.Password.html

       win_installer
              Specify windows minion client installer path

       win_run_once
              Specify a list of commands to run on first login to a windows minion

   Cloning a VM
       Cloning VMs/templates is the easiest and the preferred way to  work  with  VMs  using  the
       VMware driver.

       NOTE:
          Cloning  operations  are unsupported on standalone ESXi hosts, a vCenter server will be
          required.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-minimal-clone:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'test-vm'

       When cloning a  VM,  all  the  profile  configuration  parameters  are  optional  and  the
       configuration gets inherited from the clone.

       Example to add/resize a disk:

          my-disk-example:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'test-vm'

            devices:
              disk:
                Hard disk 1:
                  size: 30

       Depending on the configuration of the VM that is getting cloned, the disk in the resulting
       clone will differ.

       NOTE:

          • If the VM has no disk named 'Hard disk 1' an empty disk with the specified size  will
            be added to the clone.

          • If  the  VM  has a disk named 'Hard disk 1' and the size specified is larger than the
            original disk, an empty disk with the specified size will be added to the clone.

          • If the VM has a disk named 'Hard disk 1' and the size specified is smaller  than  the
            original disk, an empty disk with the original size will be added to the clone.

       Example to reconfigure the memory and number of vCPUs:

          my-disk-example:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'test-vm'

            memory: 16GB
            num_cpus: 8

   Cloning a Template
       Cloning  a template works similar to cloning a VM except for the fact that a resource pool
       or cluster must be specified additionally in the profile.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-template-clone:
           provider: vcenter01
           clonefrom: 'test-template'
           cluster: 'Prod'

   Cloning from a Snapshot
       New in version 2016.3.5.

       Cloning from a snapshot requires that one of the supported options be  set  in  the  cloud
       profile.

       Supported     options     are     createNewChildDiskBacking,     moveChildMostDiskBacking,
       moveAllDiskBackingsAndAllowSharing and moveAllDiskBackingsAndDisallowSharing.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-template-clone:
            provider: vcenter01
            clonefrom: 'salt_vm'
            snapshot:
              disk_move_type: createNewChildDiskBacking
              # these types are also supported
              # disk_move_type: moveChildMostDiskBacking
              # disk_move_type: moveAllDiskBackingsAndAllowSharing
              # disk_move_type: moveAllDiskBackingsAndDisallowSharing

   Creating a VM
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       Creating a VM from scratch means that more  configuration  has  to  be  specified  in  the
       profile because there is no place to inherit configuration from.

       NOTE:
          Unlike  most  cloud  drivers  that use prepared images, creating VMs using VMware cloud
          driver needs an installation method that requires no human interaction.   For  Example:
          preseeded ISO, kickstart URL or network PXE boot.

       Example of a minimal profile:

          my-minimal-profile:
            provider: esx01
            datastore: esx01-datastore
            resourcepool: Resources
            folder: vm

       NOTE:
          The  example  above  contains  the minimum required configuration needed to create a VM
          from scratch. The resulting VM will only have 1 VCPU, 32MB of RAM and will not have any
          storage or networking.

       Example of a complete profile:

          my-complete-example:
            provider: esx01
            datastore: esx01-datastore
            resourcepool: Resources
            folder: vm

            num_cpus: 2
            memory: 8GB

            image: debian7_64Guest

            devices:
              scsi:
                SCSI controller 0:
                  type: lsilogic_sas
              ide:
                IDE 0: {}
                IDE 1: {}
              disk:
                Hard disk 0:
                  controller: 'SCSI controller 0'
                  size: 20
                  mode: 'independent_nonpersistent'
              cd:
                CD/DVD drive 0:
                  controller: 'IDE 0'
                  device_type: datastore_iso_file
                  iso_path: '[esx01-datastore] debian-8-with-preseed.iso'
              network:
                Network adapter 0:
                  name: 'VM Network'
                  swith_type: standard

       NOTE:
          Depending  on VMware ESX/ESXi version, an exact match for image might not be available.
          In such cases, the closest match to another image should be used. In the example above,
          a Debian 8 VM is created using the image debian7_64Guest which is for a Debian 7 guest.

   Specifying disk backing mode
       New in version 2016.3.5.

       Disk  backing  mode  can now be specified when cloning a VM. This option can be set in the
       cloud profile as shown in example below:

          my-vm:
            provider: esx01
            datastore: esx01-datastore
            resourcepool: Resources
            folder: vm

            devices:
              disk:
                Hard disk 1:
                  mode: 'independent_nonpersistent'
                  size: 42
                Hard disk 2:
                  mode: 'independent_nonpersistent'

   Getting Started With Xen
       The Xen cloud driver works with Citrix XenServer.

       It can be used with a single XenServer or a XenServer resource pool.

   Setup Dependencies
       This driver requires a copy of the freely available XenAPI.py Python module.

       Information about the Xen API  Python  module  in  the  XenServer  SDK  can  be  found  at
       https://pypi.org/project/XenAPI/

       Place  a  copy  of  this  module on your system. For example, it can be placed in the site
       packages location on your system.

       The location of site packages can be determined by running:

          python -m site --user-site

   Provider Configuration
       Xen requires login credentials to a XenServer.

       Set  up  the  provider  cloud   configuration   file   at   /etc/salt/cloud.providers   or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/*.conf.

          # /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/myxen.conf
          myxen:
            driver: xen
            url: https://10.0.0.120
            user: root
            password: p@ssw0rd

       url:   The url option supports both http and https uri prefixes.

       user:  A valid user id to login to the XenServer host.

       password:
              The associated password for the user.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The provider parameter in cloud provider definitions was renamed to driver. This change
          was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is used in  cloud  profile
          definitions.  Cloud  provider  definitions  now  use  driver to refer to the Salt cloud
          module that provides the underlying functionality to connect to  a  cloud  host,  while
          cloud  profiles  continue  to use provider to refer to provider configurations that you
          define.

   Profile Configuration
       Xen profiles require a provider and  image.

       provider:
              This will be the name of your defined provider.

       image: The name of the VM template used to clone or copy.

       clone: The default behavior is to clone a template or VM. This is very fast, but  requires
              the  source  template  or VM to be in the same storage repository of the new target
              system. If the source and target are in different  storage  repositories  then  you
              must copy the source and not clone it by setting clone: False.

       deploy:
              The provisioning process will attempt to install the Salt minion service on the new
              target system by default. This will require login credentials  for  Salt  cloud  to
              login via ssh to it.  The user and password options are required.  If deploy is set
              to False then these options are not needed.

       resource_pool:
              The name of the resource pool used for this profile.

       storage_repo:
              The name of the storage repository for the target system.

       ipv4_cidr:
              If template is Windows, and running guest tools then a static  ip  address  can  be
              set.

       ipv4_gw:
              If template is Windows, and running guest tools then a gateway can be set.

       Set    up    an    initial    profile    at    /etc/salt/cloud.profiles    or    in    the
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/ directory:

          # file: /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/xenprofiles.conf
          sles:
            provider: myxen
            deploy: False
            image: sles12sp2-template

          suse:
            user: root
            password: p@ssw0rd
            provider: myxen
            image: opensuseleap42_2-template
            storage_repo: 'Local storage'
            clone: False
            minion:
              master: 10.0.0.20

          w2k12:
            provider: myxen
            image: w2k12svr-template
            clone: True
            userdata_file: /srv/salt/win/files/windows-firewall.ps1
            win_installer: /srv/salt/win/files/Salt-Minion-2016.11.3-AMD64-Setup.exe
            win_username: Administrator
            win_password: p@ssw0rd
            use_winrm: False
            ipv4_cidr: 10.0.0.215/24
            ipv4_gw: 10.0.0.1
            minion:
              master: 10.0.0.21

       The first example will create a clone  of  the  sles12sp2-template  in  the  same  storage
       repository without deploying the Salt minion.

       The  second  example  will make a copy of the image and deploy a new suse VM with the Salt
       minion installed.

       The third example will create a clone of the Windows 2012 template  and  deploy  the  Salt
       minion.

       The profile can be used with a salt command:

          salt-cloud -p suse  xenvm02

       This will create an salt minion instance named xenvm02 in Xen. If the command was executed
       on the salt-master, its Salt key will automatically be signed on the master.

       Once the instance has been created with a salt-minion installed, connectivity to it can be
       verified with Salt:

          salt xenvm02 test.version

   Listing Sizes
       Sizes can be obtained using the --list-sizes option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-sizes myxen

       NOTE:
          Since size information is build in a template this command is not implemented.

   Listing Images
       Images can be obtained using the --list-images option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-images myxen

       This command will return a list of templates with details.

   Listing Locations
       Locations can be obtained using the --list-locations option for the salt-cloud command:

          # salt-cloud --list-locations myxen

       Returns a list of resource pools.

   Miscellaneous Options
   Miscellaneous Salt Cloud Options
       This page describes various miscellaneous options available in Salt Cloud

   Deploy Script Arguments
       Custom  deploy  scripts  are  unlikely  to need custom arguments to be passed to them, but
       salt-bootstrap has been extended quite a bit, and this may be necessary.  script_args  can
       be  specified  in  either  the  profile  or  the map file, to pass arguments to the deploy
       script:

          ec2-amazon:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-1624987f
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: ec2-user
            script: bootstrap-salt
            script_args: -c /tmp/

       This has also been tested to work with pipes, if needed:

          script_args: '| head'

   Selecting the File Transport
       By default, Salt Cloud uses SFTP to transfer files to Linux hosts. However, if SFTP is not
       available,  or  specific  SCP functionality is needed, Salt Cloud can be configured to use
       SCP instead.

          file_transport: sftp
          file_transport: scp

   Sync After Install
       Salt allows users to create custom modules, grains, and states which can  be  synchronised
       to minions to extend Salt with further functionality.

       This  option  will inform Salt Cloud to synchronise your custom modules, grains, states or
       all these to the minion just after it has been created. For this to happen, the  following
       line needs to be added to the main cloud configuration file:

          sync_after_install: all

       The available options for this setting are:

          modules
          grains
          states
          all

   Setting Up New Salt Masters
       It  has  become  increasingly  common for users to set up multi-hierarchal infrastructures
       using Salt Cloud. This sometimes involves setting  up  an  instance  to  be  a  master  in
       addition  to  a  minion. With that in mind, you can now lay down master configuration on a
       machine by specifying master options in the profile or map file.

          make_master: True

       This  will  cause  Salt  Cloud  to  generate  master  keys  for  the  instance,  and  tell
       salt-bootstrap to install the salt-master package, in addition to the salt-minion package.

       The  default  master  configuration is usually appropriate for most users, and will not be
       changed unless specific master configuration has been added to the profile or map:

          master:
            user: root
            interface: 0.0.0.0

   Setting Up a Salt Syndic with Salt Cloud
       In addition to setting up new Salt Masters, syndics can also  be  provisioned  using  Salt
       Cloud.  In  order  to  set  up  a  Salt  Syndic  via Salt Cloud, a Salt Master needs to be
       installed on the new machine and a master configuration file needs to be set up using  the
       make_master  setting.  This setting can be defined either in a profile config file or in a
       map file:

          make_master: True

       To install the Salt Syndic, the only other specification that needs to  be  configured  is
       the  syndic_master  key  to  specify  the  location  of the master that the syndic will be
       reporting to. This modification needs to be placed in the master  setting,  which  can  be
       configured either in the profile, provider, or /etc/salt/cloud config file:

          master:
            syndic_master: 123.456.789  # may be either an IP address or a hostname

       Many  other Salt Syndic configuration settings and specifications can be passed through to
       the new syndic machine via the master configuration setting.  See the syndic documentation
       for more information.

   SSH Port
       By  default  ssh  port  is  set  to port 22. If you want to use a custom port in provider,
       profile, or map blocks use ssh_port option.

       New in version 2015.5.0.

          ssh_port: 2222

   Delete SSH Keys
       When Salt Cloud deploys an instance, the SSH pub key for the  instance  is  added  to  the
       known_hosts  file  for  the  user  that  ran  the  salt-cloud command. When an instance is
       deployed, a cloud host generally recycles the IP address  for  the  instance.   When  Salt
       Cloud  attempts to deploy an instance using a recycled IP address that has previously been
       accessed from the same machine, the old key in the known_hosts file will cause a conflict.

       In order to mitigate this issue, Salt Cloud can be configured to remove old keys from  the
       known_hosts  file  when destroying the node. In order to do this, the following line needs
       to be added to the main cloud configuration file:

          delete_sshkeys: True

   Keeping /tmp/ Files
       When  Salt  Cloud  deploys  an  instance,  it  uploads  temporary  files  to   /tmp/   for
       salt-bootstrap  to put in place. After the script has run, they are deleted. To keep these
       files around (mostly for debugging purposes), the --keep-tmp option can be added:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile mymachine --keep-tmp

       For those wondering why /tmp/ was used instead of /root/, this had to be done  for  images
       which  require  the  use  of sudo, and therefore do not allow remote root logins, even for
       file transfers (which makes /root/ unavailable).

   Hide Output From Minion Install
       By default Salt Cloud will stream the output from the minion  deploy  script  directly  to
       STDOUT.  Although  this can been very useful, in certain cases you may wish to switch this
       off. The following config option is there to enable or disable this output:

          display_ssh_output: False

   Connection Timeout
       There are several stages when deploying Salt where Salt Cloud needs to wait for  something
       to happen. The VM getting its IP address, the VM's SSH port is available, etc.

       If  you find that the Salt Cloud defaults are not enough and your deployment fails because
       Salt Cloud did not wait log enough, there are some settings you can tweak.

          Note

                 All settings should be provided in lowercase All values should  be  provided  in
                 seconds

       You  can  tweak  these  settings  globally,  per  cloud  provider,  or  event  per profile
       definition.

   wait_for_ip_timeout
       The amount of time Salt Cloud should wait for a VM to start and get an IP  back  from  the
       cloud host.  Default: varies by cloud provider ( between 5 and 25 minutes)

   wait_for_ip_interval
       The  amount  of  time  Salt  Cloud  should sleep while querying for the VM's IP.  Default:
       varies by cloud provider ( between .5 and 10 seconds)

   ssh_connect_timeout
       The amount of time Salt Cloud should wait for a  successful  SSH  connection  to  the  VM.
       Default: varies by cloud provider  (between 5 and 15 minutes)

   wait_for_passwd_timeout
       The  amount  of  time  until an ssh connection can be established via password or ssh key.
       Default: varies by cloud provider (mostly 15 seconds)

   wait_for_passwd_maxtries
       The number of attempts to connect to the VM until we abandon.  Default: 15 attempts

   wait_for_fun_timeout
       Some cloud drivers check for an available IP  or  a  successful  SSH  connection  using  a
       function,  namely,  SoftLayer,  and SoftLayer-HW. So, the amount of time Salt Cloud should
       retry such functions before failing.  Default: 15 minutes.

   wait_for_spot_timeout
       The amount of time Salt Cloud should wait before an EC2 Spot instance is  available.  This
       setting is only available for the EC2 cloud driver.  Default: 10  minutes

   Salt Cloud Cache
       Salt  Cloud  can  maintain  a  cache  of node data, for supported providers. The following
       options manage this functionality.

   update_cachedir
       On supported cloud providers, whether or not to maintain a cache of nodes returned from  a
       --full-query.     The     data    will    be    stored    in    msgpack    format    under
       <SALT_CACHEDIR>/cloud/active/<DRIVER>/<PROVIDER>/<NODE_NAME>.p. This setting can  be  True
       or False.

   diff_cache_events
       When  the cloud cachedir is being managed, if differences are encountered between the data
       that is returned live from the cloud host and the data in the  cache,  fire  events  which
       describe the changes. This setting can be True or False.

       Some  of  these events will contain data which describe a node. Because some of the fields
       returned may contain sensitive data,  the  cache_event_strip_fields  configuration  option
       exists to strip those fields from the event return.

          cache_event_strip_fields:
            - password
            - priv_key

       The following are events that can be fired based on this data.

   salt/cloud/minionid/cache_node_new
       A  new node was found on the cloud host which was not listed in the cloud cachedir. A dict
       describing the new node will be contained in the event.

   salt/cloud/minionid/cache_node_missing
       A node that was previously listed in the cloud cachedir is  no  longer  available  on  the
       cloud host.

   salt/cloud/minionid/cache_node_diff
       One  or  more  pieces  of data in the cloud cachedir has changed on the cloud host. A dict
       containing both the old and the new data will be contained in the event.

   SSH Known Hosts
       Normally when bootstrapping a VM, salt-cloud will ignore the SSH host key. This is because
       it  does  not know what the host key is before starting (because it doesn't exist yet). If
       strict host key checking is turned on without the key in the known_hosts  file,  then  the
       host will never be available, and cannot be bootstrapped.

       If  a  provider  is  able  to  determine  the host key before trying to bootstrap it, that
       provider's driver can add it to the known_hosts file, and then turn  on  strict  host  key
       checking.   This   can   be  set  up  in  the  main  cloud  configuration  file  (normally
       /etc/salt/cloud) or in the provider-specific configuration file:

          known_hosts_file: /path/to/.ssh/known_hosts

       If this is not set, it will default to /dev/null, and strict host  key  checking  will  be
       turned off.

       It  is  highly  recommended that this option is not set, unless the user has verified that
       the provider supports this functionality, and that the image  being  used  is  capable  of
       providing  the  necessary  information.  At  this  time, only the EC2 driver supports this
       functionality.

   SSH Agent
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       If the ssh key is not stored on the server salt-cloud is being run on, set ssh_agent,  and
       salt-cloud will use the forwarded ssh-agent to authenticate.

          ssh_agent: True

   File Map Upload
       New in version 2014.7.0.

       The file_map option allows an arbitrary group of files to be uploaded to the target system
       before  running  the  deploy  script.  This  functionality  requires   a   provider   uses
       salt.utils.cloud.bootstrap(),  which  is  currently limited to the ec2, gce, openstack and
       nova drivers.

       The file_map can be configured globally in /etc/salt/cloud, or in any  cloud  provider  or
       profile  file.  For example, to upload an extra package or a custom deploy script, a cloud
       profile using file_map might look like:

          ubuntu14:
            provider: ec2-config
            image: ami-98aa1cf0
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: root
            securitygroup: default
            file_map:
              /local/path/to/custom/script: /remote/path/to/use/custom/script
              /local/path/to/package: /remote/path/to/store/package

   Running Pre-Flight Commands
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       To execute specified preflight shell commands on a VM before the deploy script is run, use
       the  preflight_cmds option. These must be defined as a list in a cloud configuration file.
       For example:

          my-cloud-profile:
            provider: linode-config
            image: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
            size: Linode 2048
            preflight_cmds:
              - whoami
              - echo 'hello world!'

       These commands will run in sequence before the bootstrap script is executed.

   Force Minion Config
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       The force_minion_config option requests the bootstrap process  to  overwrite  an  existing
       minion configuration file and public/private key files.  Default: False

       This  might  be  important for drivers (such as saltify) which are expected to take over a
       connection from a former salt master.

          my_saltify_provider:
            driver: saltify
            force_minion_config: true

   Troubleshooting Steps
   Troubleshooting Salt Cloud
       This page describes various steps for troubleshooting problems that may arise while  using
       Salt Cloud.

   Virtual Machines Are Created, But Do Not Respond
       Are  TCP  ports 4505 and 4506 open on the master? This is easy to overlook on new masters.
       Information on how to open firewall ports on various platforms can be found here.

   Generic Troubleshooting Steps
       This section describes a set of  instructions  that  are  useful  to  a  large  number  of
       situations, and are likely to solve most issues that arise.

   Debug Mode
       Frequently,  running  Salt  Cloud in debug mode will reveal information about a deployment
       which would otherwise not be obvious:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile myinstance -l debug

       Keep in mind that a number of messages will appear that look at first like errors, but are
       in  fact  intended to give developers factual information to assist in debugging. A number
       of messages that appear will be for cloud providers that you do not  have  configured;  in
       these cases, the message usually is intended to confirm that they are not configured.

   Salt Bootstrap
       By default, Salt Cloud uses the Salt Bootstrap script to provision instances:

       This  script  is  packaged  with  Salt Cloud, but may be updated without updating the Salt
       package:

          salt-cloud -u

   The Bootstrap Log
       If the default deploy script was used, there should be  a  file  in  the  /tmp/  directory
       called  bootstrap-salt.log.  This  file  contains  the  full  output  from the deployment,
       including any errors that may have occurred.

   Keeping Temp Files
       Salt Cloud uploads minion-specific files to instances once they are available via SSH, and
       then  executes  a  deploy  script to put them into the correct place and install Salt. The
       --keep-tmp option will instruct Salt Cloud not to remove those files  when  finished  with
       them, so that the user may inspect them for problems:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile myinstance --keep-tmp

       By   default,   Salt  Cloud  will  create  a  directory  on  the  target  instance  called
       /tmp/.saltcloud/. This directory should be owned by the user that is to execute the deploy
       script, and should have permissions of 0700.

       Most  cloud  hosts  are configured to use root as the default initial user for deployment,
       and as such, this directory and all files in it should be owned by the root user.

       The /tmp/.saltcloud/ directory should the following files:

       • A deploy.sh script. This script should have permissions of 0755.

       • A .pem and .pub key named after the minion. The .pem file  should  have  permissions  of
         0600.   Ensure  that  the  .pem  and  .pub  files  have  been  properly  copied  to  the
         /etc/salt/pki/minion/ directory.

       • A file called minion. This file should have been copied to the /etc/salt/ directory.

       • Optionally, a file called grains. This file, if present, should have been copied to  the
         /etc/salt/ directory.

   Unprivileged Primary Users
       Some  cloud  hosts,  most notably EC2, are configured with a different primary user.  Some
       common  examples  are  ec2-user,  ubuntu,  fedora,  and  bitnami.   In  these  cases,  the
       /tmp/.saltcloud/ directory and all files in it should be owned by this user.

       Some  cloud  hosts,  such  as  EC2, are configured to not require these users to provide a
       password when using the sudo command. Because it is more secure to require sudo  users  to
       provide a password, other hosts are configured that way.

       If  this  instance  is  required  to provide a password, it needs to be configured in Salt
       Cloud. A password for sudo to use may be added to either the provider configuration or the
       profile configuration:

          sudo_password: mypassword

   /tmp/ is Mounted as noexec
       It  is more secure to mount the /tmp/ directory with a noexec option.  This is uncommon on
       most cloud hosts, but very common in private environments. To see if the  /tmp/  directory
       is mounted this way, run the following command:

          mount | grep tmp

       The  if  the  output  of this command includes a line that looks like this, then the /tmp/
       directory is mounted as noexec:

          tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw,noexec)

       If this is the case, then the deploy_command will need to be changed in order to  run  the
       deploy  script through the sh command, rather than trying to execute it directly. This may
       be specified in either the provider or the profile config:

          deploy_command: sh /tmp/.saltcloud/deploy.sh

       Please note that by default, Salt Cloud  will  place  its  files  in  a  directory  called
       /tmp/.saltcloud/. This may be also be changed in the provider or profile configuration:

          tmp_dir: /tmp/.saltcloud/

       If  this  directory  is  changed,  then  the deploy_command need to be changed in order to
       reflect the tmp_dir configuration.

   Executing the Deploy Script Manually
       If all of the files needed for  deployment  were  successfully  uploaded  to  the  correct
       locations,  and  contain  the correct permissions and ownerships, the deploy script may be
       executed manually in order to check for other issues:

          cd /tmp/.saltcloud/
          ./deploy.sh

   Extending Salt Cloud
   Writing Cloud Driver Modules
       Salt Cloud runs on a module system similar to the main Salt project.  The  modules  inside
       saltcloud exist in the salt/cloud/clouds directory of the salt source.

       There are two basic types of cloud modules. If a cloud host is supported by libcloud, then
       using it is the fastest route to getting a module written. The Apache Libcloud project  is
       located at:

       http://libcloud.apache.org/

       Not  every  cloud  host  is  supported  by  libcloud. Additionally, not every feature in a
       supported cloud host is necessarily supported by libcloud. In either  of  these  cases,  a
       module can be created which does not rely on libcloud.

   All Driver Modules
       The  following functions are required by all driver modules, whether or not they are based
       on libcloud.

   The __virtual__() Function
       This function determines  whether  or  not  to  make  this  cloud  module  available  upon
       execution.  Most  often,  it  uses get_configured_provider() to determine if the necessary
       configuration has been set up. It may also check for necessary imports, to decide  whether
       to  load  the  module. In most cases, it will return a True or False value. If the name of
       the driver used does not match the filename, then that name should be returned instead  of
       True. An example of this may be seen in the Azure module:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/salt/cloud/clouds/msazure.py

   The get_configured_provider() Function
       This  function  uses  config.is_provider_configured()  to  determine  whether all required
       information for this driver has been configured. The last value in the  list  of  required
       settings should be followed by a comma.

   Libcloud Based Modules
       Writing  a  cloud module based on libcloud has two major advantages. First of all, much of
       the work has already been done by the libcloud project.  Second,  most  of  the  functions
       necessary to Salt have already been added to the Salt Cloud project.

   The create() Function
       The  most  important  function  that  does  need  to  be  manually written is the create()
       function. This is what is used to request a virtual machine to be  created  by  the  cloud
       host,  wait  for  it to become available, and then (optionally) log in and install Salt on
       it.

       A good example to follow for writing a cloud driver module based on libcloud is the module
       provided for Linode:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/salt/cloud/clouds/linode.py

       The basic flow of a create() function is as follows:

       • Send a request to the cloud host to create a virtual machine.

       • Wait for the virtual machine to become available.

       • Generate kwargs to be used to deploy Salt.

       • Log into the virtual machine and deploy Salt.

       • Return a data structure that describes the newly-created virtual machine.

       At  various  points  throughout  this function, events may be fired on the Salt event bus.
       Four of these events, which are described below, are required. Other events may  be  added
       by the user, where appropriate.

       When  the create() function is called, it is passed a data structure called vm_. This dict
       contains a composite of information describing the virtual machine to be created.  A  dict
       called  __opts__  is  also  provided  by Salt, which contains the options used to run Salt
       Cloud, as well as a set of configuration and environment variables.

       The first thing the create() function must do is fire an event stating that it has started
       the  create  process.  This  event  is  tagged  salt/cloud/<vm name>/creating. The payload
       contains the names of the VM, profile, and provider.

       A set of kwargs is then usually created, to describe the parameters required by the  cloud
       host to request the virtual machine.

       An  event  is  then fired to state that a virtual machine is about to be requested.  It is
       tagged as salt/cloud/<vm name>/requesting.  The  payload  contains  most  or  all  of  the
       parameters  that  will  be  sent  to  the  cloud  host.  Any  private information (such as
       passwords) should not be sent in the event.

       After a request is made, a set of deploy kwargs will be generated. These will be  used  to
       install  Salt  on  the  target  machine.  Windows options are supported at this point, and
       should be generated, even if the cloud host does not currently support Windows. This  will
       save time in the future if the host does eventually decide to support Windows.

       An  event  is then fired to state that the deploy process is about to begin. This event is
       tagged salt/cloud/<vm name>/deploying. The payload for the event will  contain  a  set  of
       deploy  kwargs,  useful  for debugging purposed. Any private data, including passwords and
       keys (including public keys) should be stripped from the deploy kwargs before the event is
       fired.

       If any Windows options have been passed in, the salt.utils.cloud.deploy_windows() function
       will be called. Otherwise, it will be assumed that the target is a Linux or Unix  machine,
       and the salt.utils.cloud.deploy_script() will be called.

       Both  of  these  functions  will wait for the target machine to become available, then the
       necessary port to log in, then a successful login that can be used to install Salt. Minion
       configuration and keys will then be uploaded to a temporary directory on the target by the
       appropriate function. On a Windows target, the Windows Minion Installer  will  be  run  in
       silent  mode. On a Linux/Unix target, a deploy script (bootstrap-salt.sh, by default) will
       be run, which will auto-detect the operating system, and install  Salt  using  its  native
       package manager. These do not need to be handled by the developer in the cloud module.

       The salt.utils.cloud.validate_windows_cred() function has been extended to take the number
       of retries and retry_delay parameters in case a specific cloud host has  a  delay  between
       providing  the  Windows credentials and the credentials being available for use.  In their
       create() function, or as a sub-function called during  the  creation  process,  developers
       should use the win_deploy_auth_retries and win_deploy_auth_retry_delay parameters from the
       provider configuration to allow the end-user the ability to customize the number of  tries
       and delay between tries for their particular host.

       After  the  appropriate  deploy function completes, a final event is fired which describes
       the virtual machine that has just  been  created.  This  event  is  tagged  salt/cloud/<vm
       name>/created. The payload contains the names of the VM, profile, and provider.

       Finally,  a  dict  (queried  from the provider) which describes the new virtual machine is
       returned to the user. Because this data is not fired on the event bus it can, and  should,
       return  any  passwords  that  were returned by the cloud host. In some cases (for example,
       Rackspace), this is the  only  time  that  the  password  can  be  queried  by  the  user;
       post-creation queries may not contain password information (depending upon the host).

   The libcloudfuncs Functions
       A number of other functions are required for all cloud hosts. However, with libcloud-based
       modules, these are all provided for free by the libcloudfuncs library. The  following  two
       lines set up the imports:

          from salt.cloud.libcloudfuncs import *  # pylint: disable=W0614,W0401
          import salt.utils.functools

       And  then  a series of declarations will make the necessary functions available within the
       cloud module.

          get_size = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(get_size, globals())
          get_image = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(get_image, globals())
          avail_locations = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(avail_locations, globals())
          avail_images = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(avail_images, globals())
          avail_sizes = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(avail_sizes, globals())
          script = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(script, globals())
          destroy = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(destroy, globals())
          list_nodes = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(list_nodes, globals())
          list_nodes_full = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(list_nodes_full, globals())
          list_nodes_select = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(
              list_nodes_select, globals()
          )
          show_instance = salt.utils.functools.namespaced_function(show_instance, globals())

       If necessary, these functions may be replaced  by  removing  the  appropriate  declaration
       line, and then adding the function as normal.

       These  functions  are  required  for all cloud modules, and are described in detail in the
       next section.

   Non-Libcloud Based Modules
       In some cases, using libcloud is not an option. This may be because libcloud has  not  yet
       included  the  necessary driver itself, or it may be that the driver that is included with
       libcloud does not contain all of the necessary features required by  the  developer.  When
       this  is  the case, some or all of the functions in libcloudfuncs may be replaced. If they
       are all replaced, the libcloud imports should be absent from the Salt Cloud module.

       A good example of a non-libcloud driver is the DigitalOcean driver:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/tree/master/salt/cloud/clouds/digitalocean.py

   The create() Function
       The  create()  function  must  be  created  as  described  in  the  libcloud-based  module
       documentation.

   The get_size() Function
       This  function  is  only  necessary for libcloud-based modules, and does not need to exist
       otherwise.

   The get_image() Function
       This function is only necessary for libcloud-based modules, and does  not  need  to  exist
       otherwise.

   The avail_locations() Function
       This  function returns a list of locations available, if the cloud host uses multiple data
       centers. It is not necessary if the cloud host uses only one data center. It  is  normally
       called using the --list-locations option.

          salt-cloud --list-locations my-cloud-provider

   The avail_images() Function
       This  function  returns  a list of images available for this cloud provider. There are not
       currently any known cloud providers that do not provide this  functionality,  though  they
       may  refer to images by a different name (for example, "templates"). It is normally called
       using the --list-images option.

          salt-cloud --list-images my-cloud-provider

   The avail_sizes() Function
       This function returns a list of sizes available for this cloud provider.  Generally,  this
       refers  to  a  combination  of  RAM, CPU, and/or disk space. This functionality may not be
       present on some cloud providers. For example, the Parallels module breaks down  RAM,  CPU,
       and  disk space into separate options, whereas in other providers, these options are baked
       into the image. It is normally called using the --list-sizes option.

          salt-cloud --list-sizes my-cloud-provider

   The script() Function
       This function builds the deploy script to be used on the remote machine.  It is likely  to
       be  moved  into the salt.utils.cloud library in the near future, as it is very generic and
       can usually be copied wholesale from another module. An excellent example is in the  Azure
       driver.

   The destroy() Function
       This function irreversibly destroys a virtual machine on the cloud provider.  Before doing
       so, it should  fire  an  event  on  the  Salt  event  bus.  The  tag  for  this  event  is
       salt/cloud/<vm  name>/destroying.  Once  the  virtual  machine has been destroyed, another
       event is fired. The tag for that event is salt/cloud/<vm name>/destroyed.

       This function is normally called with the -d options:

          salt-cloud -d myinstance

   The list_nodes() Function
       This function returns a list  of  nodes  available  on  this  cloud  provider,  using  the
       following fields:

       • id (str)

       • image (str)

       • size (str)

       • state (str)

       • private_ips (list)

       • public_ips (list)

       No  other  fields  should  be returned in this function, and all of these fields should be
       returned, even if empty. The private_ips and public_ips fields should always be of a  list
       type, even if empty, and the other fields should always be of a str type. This function is
       normally called with the -Q option:

          salt-cloud -Q

   The list_nodes_full() Function
       All information available about all nodes should be returned in this function.  The fields
       in  the  list_nodes() function should also be returned, even if they would not normally be
       provided by the cloud provider. This is because some functions both within  Salt  and  3rd
       party  will  break  if  an expected field is not present. This function is normally called
       with the -F option:

          salt-cloud -F

   The list_nodes_select() Function
       This function  returns  only  the  fields  specified  in  the  query.selection  option  in
       /etc/salt/cloud.  Because  this  function is so generic, all of the heavy lifting has been
       moved into the salt.utils.cloud library.

       A function to call  list_nodes_select()  still  needs  to  be  present.  In  general,  the
       following code can be used as-is:

          def list_nodes_select(call=None):
              """
              Return a list of the VMs that are on the provider, with select fields
              """
              return salt.utils.cloud.list_nodes_select(
                  list_nodes_full("function"), __opts__["query.selection"], call
              )

       However,  depending  on  the  cloud  provider,  additional variables may be required.  For
       instance, some modules use a  conn  object,  or  may  need  to  pass  other  options  into
       list_nodes_full(). In this case, be sure to update the function appropriately:

          def list_nodes_select(conn=None, call=None):
              """
              Return a list of the VMs that are on the provider, with select fields
              """
              if not conn:
                  conn = get_conn()  # pylint: disable=E0602

              return salt.utils.cloud.list_nodes_select(
                  list_nodes_full(conn, "function"), __opts__["query.selection"], call
              )

       This function is normally called with the -S option:

          salt-cloud -S

   The show_instance() Function
       This  function  is  used  to  display  all  of the information about a single node that is
       available from the cloud provider. The simplest way to provide this  is  usually  to  call
       list_nodes_full(),  and return just the data for the requested node. It is normally called
       as an action:

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

   Actions and Functions
       Extra functionality may be added to a cloud provider in the  form  of  an  --action  or  a
       --function.  Actions are performed against a cloud instance/virtual machine, and functions
       are performed against a cloud provider.

   Actions
       Actions are calls that are performed against a specific instance or virtual  machine.  The
       show_instance  action  should  be  available  in  all cloud modules.  Actions are normally
       called with the -a option:

          salt-cloud -a show_instance myinstance

       Actions must accept a name as a first argument,  may  optionally  support  any  number  of
       kwargs as appropriate, and must accept an argument of call, with a default of None.

       Before performing any other work, an action should normally verify that it has been called
       correctly. It may then perform the desired feature, and return useful information  to  the
       user. A basic action looks like:

          def show_instance(name, call=None):
              """
              Show the details from EC2 concerning an AMI
              """
              if call != "action":
                  raise SaltCloudSystemExit(
                      "The show_instance action must be called with -a or --action."
                  )

              return _get_node(name)

       Please  note that generic kwargs, if used, are passed through to actions as kwargs and not
       **kwargs. An example of this is seen in the Functions section.

   Functions
       Functions are called that are performed against a specific  cloud  provider.  An  optional
       function that is often useful is show_image, which describes an image in detail. Functions
       are normally called with the -f option:

          salt-cloud -f show_image my-cloud-provider image='Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit'

       A function may accept any number of kwargs as appropriate, and must accept an argument  of
       call with a default of None.

       Before  performing  any  other  work,  a  function should normally verify that it has been
       called correctly. It may then perform the desired feature, and return  useful  information
       to the user. A basic function looks like:

          def show_image(kwargs, call=None):
              """
              Show the details from EC2 concerning an AMI
              """
              if call != "function":
                  raise SaltCloudSystemExit(
                      "The show_image action must be called with -f or --function."
                  )

              params = {"ImageId.1": kwargs["image"], "Action": "DescribeImages"}
              result = query(params)
              log.info(result)

              return result

       Take note that generic kwargs are passed through to functions as kwargs and not **kwargs.

   Cloud deployment scripts
       Salt  Cloud  works primarily by executing a script on the virtual machines as soon as they
       become available. The script that is executed is referenced in the cloud  profile  as  the
       script. In older versions, this was the os argument. This was changed in 0.8.2.

       A number of legacy scripts exist in the deploy directory in the saltcloud source tree. The
       preferred method is currently to use  the  salt-bootstrap  script.  A  stable  version  is
       included  with  each  release tarball starting with 0.8.4. The most updated version can be
       found at:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-bootstrap

       Note that, somewhat counter-intuitively, this script is referenced  as  bootstrap-salt  in
       the configuration.

       You  can  specify  a  deploy  script  in  the cloud configuration file (/etc/salt/cloud by
       default):

          script: bootstrap-salt

       Or in a provider:

          my-provider:
            # snip...
            script: bootstrap-salt

       Or in a profile:

          my-profile:
            provider: my-provider
            # snip...
            script: bootstrap-salt

       If you do not specify a  script  argument  in  your  cloud  configuration  file,  provider
       configuration  or  profile  configuration,  the  "bootstrap-salt"  script  will be used by
       default.

   Other Generic Deploy Scripts
       If you want to be assured of always using the latest Salt Bootstrap script,  there  are  a
       few generic templates available in the deploy directory of your saltcloud source tree:

          curl-bootstrap
          curl-bootstrap-git
          python-bootstrap
          wget-bootstrap
          wget-bootstrap-git

       These are example scripts which were designed to be customized, adapted, and refit to meet
       your needs. One important use of them is to pass options  to  the  salt-bootstrap  script,
       such as updating to specific git tags.

   Custom Deploy Scripts
       If the Salt Bootstrap script does not meet your needs, you may write your own.  The script
       should be written in shell and is a Jinja template.  Deploy  scripts  need  to  execute  a
       number of functions to do a complete salt setup. These functions include:

       1. Install  the salt minion. If this can be done via system packages this method is HIGHLY
          preferred.

       2. Add the salt minion keys before the minion is started for the first time.   The  minion
          keys are available as strings that can be copied into place in the Jinja template under
          the dict named "vm".

       3. Start the salt-minion daemon and enable it at startup time.

       4. Set up the minion configuration file from the "minion"  data  available  in  the  Jinja
          template.

       A good, well commented example of this process is the Fedora deployment script:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/cloud/deploy/Fedora.sh

       A  number of legacy deploy scripts are included with the release tarball. None of them are
       as functional or complete as Salt Bootstrap, and are still included for academic purposes.

       Custom deploy scripts are picked up from /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d by default, but you  can
       change    the    location    of    deploy    scripts    with   the   cloud   configuration
       deploy_scripts_search_path. Additionally, if your deploy script has the extension .sh, you
       can leave out the extension in your configuration.

       For     example,     if     your     custom     deploy     script     is     located    in
       /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d/my_deploy.sh, you could specify it in a cloud profile like this:

          my-profile:
            provider: my-provider
            # snip...
            script: my_deploy

       You're also free to use the full path to the script if you like. Using  full  paths,  your
       script  doesn't have to live inside /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d or whatever you've configured
       with deploy_scripts_search_path.

   Post-Deploy Commands
       Once a minion has been deployed, it has the option to run a salt command.  Normally,  this
       would  be  the  state.apply, which would finish provisioning the VM. Another common option
       (for testing) is to use test.version. This is configured in the main cloud config file:

          start_action: state.apply

       This is currently considered to be experimental functionality, and may not work well  with
       all  cloud  hosts.  If  you  experience  problems  with  Salt  Cloud hanging after Salt is
       deployed, consider using Startup States instead:

       https://docs.saltproject.io/ref/states/startup.html

   Skipping the Deploy Script
       For whatever reason, you may want to skip the deploy script altogether. This results in  a
       VM  being spun up much faster, with absolutely no configuration.  This can be set from the
       command line:

          salt-cloud --no-deploy -p micro_aws my_instance

       Or it can be set from the main cloud config file:

          deploy: False

       Or it can be set from the provider's configuration:

          RACKSPACE.user: example_user
          RACKSPACE.apikey: 123984bjjas87034
          RACKSPACE.deploy: False

       Or even on the VM's profile settings:

          ubuntu_aws:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-7e2da54e
            size: t1.micro
            deploy: False

       The default for deploy is True.

       In the profile, you may also set the script option to None:

          script: None

       This is the slowest option, since it still uploads the None deploy script and executes it.

   Updating Salt Bootstrap
       Salt Bootstrap can be updated automatically with salt-cloud:

          salt-cloud -u
          salt-cloud --update-bootstrap

       Bear in mind that this updates to the latest stable version from:

       https://bootstrap.saltstack.com/stable/bootstrap-salt.sh

       To update Salt Bootstrap script to the develop version, run the following command  on  the
       Salt minion host with salt-cloud installed:

          salt-call config.gather_bootstrap_script 'https://bootstrap.saltstack.com/develop/bootstrap-salt.sh'

       Or just download the file manually:

          curl -L 'https://bootstrap.saltstack.com/develop' > /etc/salt/cloud.deploy.d/bootstrap-salt.sh

   Keeping /tmp/ Files
       When   Salt   Cloud  deploys  an  instance,  it  uploads  temporary  files  to  /tmp/  for
       salt-bootstrap to put in place. After the script has run, they are deleted. To keep  these
       files around (mostly for debugging purposes), the --keep-tmp option can be added:

          salt-cloud -p myprofile mymachine --keep-tmp

       For  those  wondering why /tmp/ was used instead of /root/, this had to be done for images
       which require the use of sudo, and therefore do not allow remote  root  logins,  even  for
       file transfers (which makes /root/ unavailable).

   Deploy Script Arguments
       Custom  deploy  scripts  are  unlikely  to need custom arguments to be passed to them, but
       salt-bootstrap has been extended quite a bit, and this may be necessary.  script_args  can
       be  specified  in  either  the  profile  or  the map file, to pass arguments to the deploy
       script:

          aws-amazon:
            provider: my-ec2-config
            image: ami-1624987f
            size: t1.micro
            ssh_username: ec2-user
            script: bootstrap-salt
            script_args: -c /tmp/

       This has also been tested to work with pipes, if needed:

          script_args: '| head'

   Using Salt Cloud from Salt
   Using the Salt Modules for Cloud
       In addition to the salt-cloud command, Salt Cloud can be called from Salt, in a variety of
       different  ways. Most users will be interested in either the execution module or the state
       module, but it is also possible to call Salt Cloud as a runner.

       Because the actual work will be performed on  a  remote  minion,  the  normal  Salt  Cloud
       configuration  must exist on any target minion that needs to execute a Salt Cloud command.
       Because Salt Cloud now supports breaking out  configuration  into  individual  files,  the
       configuration is easily managed using Salt's own file.managed state function. For example,
       the following directories allow this configuration to be managed easily:

          /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/
          /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/

   Minion Keys
       Keep in mind that when creating minions, Salt Cloud will create public and private  minion
       keys,  upload them to the minion, and place the public key on the machine that created the
       minion. It will not attempt to place any public minion keys  on  the  master,  unless  the
       minion  which  was  used  to  create the instance is also the Salt Master. This is because
       granting arbitrary minions access to modify keys on the master is a serious security risk,
       and must be avoided.

   Execution Module
       The  cloud  module  is available to use from the command line. At the moment, almost every
       standard Salt Cloud feature is available to use. The following commands are available:

   list_images
       This command is designed to show images that  are  available  to  be  used  to  create  an
       instance  using  Salt Cloud. In general they are used in the creation of profiles, but may
       also be used to create an instance  directly  (see  below).   Listing  images  requires  a
       provider to be configured, and specified:

          salt myminion cloud.list_images my-cloud-provider

   list_sizes
       This command is designed to show sizes that are available to be used to create an instance
       using Salt Cloud. In general they are used in the creation of profiles, but  may  also  be
       used  to  create  an  instance directly (see below). This command is not available for all
       cloud providers; see  the  provider-specific  documentation  for  details.  Listing  sizes
       requires a provider to be configured, and specified:

          salt myminion cloud.list_sizes my-cloud-provider

   list_locations
       This  command  is  designed  to  show locations that are available to be used to create an
       instance using Salt Cloud. In general they are used in the creation of profiles,  but  may
       also be used to create an instance directly (see below). This command is not available for
       all  cloud  providers;  see  the  provider-specific  documentation  for  details.  Listing
       locations requires a provider to be configured, and specified:

          salt myminion cloud.list_locations my-cloud-provider

   query
       This  command  is  used to query all configured cloud providers, and display all instances
       associated with those accounts. By default, it will run a standard  query,  returning  the
       following fields:

       id     The name or ID of the instance, as used by the cloud provider.

       image  The disk image that was used to create this instance.

       private_ips
              Any public IP addresses currently assigned to this instance.

       public_ips
              Any private IP addresses currently assigned to this instance.

       size   The  size of the instance; can refer to RAM, CPU(s), disk space, etc., depending on
              the cloud provider.

       state  The running state of the instance; for example,  running,  stopped,  pending,  etc.
              This state is dependent upon the provider.

       This  command  may  also  be  used to perform a full query or a select query, as described
       below. The following usages are available:

          salt myminion cloud.query
          salt myminion cloud.query list_nodes
          salt myminion cloud.query list_nodes_full

   full_query
       This command behaves like the query command, but lists  all  information  concerning  each
       instance  as  provided  by  the  cloud provider, in addition to the fields returned by the
       query command.

          salt myminion cloud.full_query

   select_query
       This command behaves like the query command, but only returned select fields as defined in
       the  /etc/salt/cloud  configuration  file.  A sample configuration for this section of the
       file might look like:

          query.selection:
            - id
            - key_name

       This configuration would only return the id and key_name fields, for those cloud providers
       that support those two fields. This would be called using the following command:

          salt myminion cloud.select_query

   profile
       This  command  is  used  to  create  an instance using a profile that is configured on the
       target minion. Please note that the profile must be configured before this command can  be
       used with it.

          salt myminion cloud.profile ec2-centos64-x64 my-new-instance

       Please  note  that  the  execution  module  does  not run in parallel mode. Using multiple
       minions to create instances can effectively perform parallel instance creation.

   create
       This command is similar to the profile command, in  that  it  is  used  to  create  a  new
       instance.  However,  it  does not require a profile to be pre-configured.  Instead, all of
       the options that are normally configured in a profile are passed directly to Salt Cloud to
       create the instance:

          salt myminion cloud.create my-ec2-config my-new-instance \
              image=ami-1624987f size='t1.micro' ssh_username=ec2-user \
              securitygroup=default delvol_on_destroy=True

       Please  note  that  the  execution  module  does  not run in parallel mode. Using multiple
       minions to create instances can effectively perform parallel instance creation.

   destroy
       This command is used to destroy an instance or instances. This  command  will  search  all
       configured  providers and remove any instance(s) which matches the name(s) passed in here.
       The results of this command are non-reversable and should be used with caution.

          salt myminion cloud.destroy myinstance
          salt myminion cloud.destroy myinstance1,myinstance2

   action
       This command implements both the action and the function commands  used  in  the  standard
       salt-cloud  command. If one of the standard action commands is used, an instance name must
       be provided. If one of the standard function commands is used,  a  provider  configuration
       must be named.

          salt myminion cloud.action start instance=myinstance
          salt myminion cloud.action show_image provider=my-ec2-config \
              image=ami-1624987f

       The  actions  available  are  largely  dependent  upon  the  module for the specific cloud
       provider. The following actions are available for all cloud providers:

       list_nodes
              This is a direct call to the  query  function  as  described  above,  but  is  only
              performed  against  a  single  cloud  provider.  A  provider  configuration must be
              included.

       list_nodes_select
              This is a direct call to the full_query function as described above,  but  is  only
              performed  against  a  single  cloud  provider.  A  provider  configuration must be
              included.

       list_nodes_select
              This is a direct call to the select_query function as described above, but is  only
              performed  against  a  single  cloud  provider.   A  provider configuration must be
              included.

       show_instance
              This is a thin wrapper around list_nodes, which returns the full information  about
              a single instance. An instance name must be provided.

   State Module
       A  subset  of  the  execution  module is available through the cloud state module. Not all
       functions are currently included, because there is currently insufficient code for them to
       perform  statefully.  For  example,  a  command to create an instance may be issued with a
       series of options, but those options cannot currently be  statefully  managed.  Additional
       states to manage these options will be released at a later time.

   cloud.present
       This state will ensure that an instance is present inside a particular cloud provider. Any
       option that is normally specified in the cloud.create execution module and function may be
       declared here, but only the actual presence of the instance will be managed statefully.

          my-instance-name:
            cloud.present:
              - cloud_provider: my-ec2-config
              - image: ami-1624987f
              - size: 't1.micro'
              - ssh_username: ec2-user
              - securitygroup: default
              - delvol_on_destroy: True

   cloud.profile
       This  state  will  ensure  that an instance is present inside a particular cloud provider.
       This function  calls  the  cloud.profile  execution  module  and  function,  but  as  with
       cloud.present, only the actual presence of the instance will be managed statefully.

          my-instance-name:
            cloud.profile:
              - profile: ec2-centos64-x64

   cloud.absent
       This  state will ensure that an instance (identified by name) does not exist in any of the
       cloud providers  configured  on  the  target  minion.  Please  note  that  this  state  is
       non-reversable and may be considered especially destructive when issued as a cloud state.

          my-instance-name:
            cloud.absent

   Runner Module
       The  cloud  runner  module  is  executed  on  the  master,  and performs actions using the
       configuration and Salt modules on the master itself. This means  that  any  public  minion
       keys will also be properly accepted by the master.

       Using the functions in the runner module is no different than using those in the execution
       module, outside of the behavior described in the above paragraph.  The following functions
       are available inside the runner:

       • list_images

       • list_sizes

       • list_locations

       • query

       • full_query

       • select_query

       • profile

       • destroy

       • action

       Outside of the standard usage of salt-run itself, commands are executed as usual:

          salt-run cloud.profile ec2-centos64-x86_64 my-instance-name

   CloudClient
       The  execution,  state, and runner modules ultimately all use the CloudClient library that
       ships with Salt. To use the CloudClient  library  locally  (either  on  the  master  or  a
       minion), create a client object and issue a command against it:

          import salt.cloud
          import pprint

          client = salt.cloud.CloudClient("/etc/salt/cloud")
          nodes = client.query()
          pprint.pprint(nodes)

   Reactor
       Examples  of  using the reactor with Salt Cloud are available in the ec2-autoscale-reactor
       and salt-cloud-reactor formulas.

   Feature Comparison
   Feature Matrix
       A number of features are available  in  most  cloud  hosts,  but  not  all  are  available
       everywhere.  This  may be because the feature isn't supported by the cloud host itself, or
       it may only be that the feature has not yet been added to Salt  Cloud.  In  a  handful  of
       cases,  it  is  because  the  feature  does not make sense for a particular cloud provider
       (Saltify, for instance).

       This matrix shows which features are available in which cloud hosts, as far as Salt  Cloud
       is  concerned.  This  is  not  a comprehensive list of all features available in all cloud
       hosts, and should not be used to make business decisions concerning choosing a cloud host.
       In most cases, adding support for a feature to Salt Cloud requires only a little effort.

   Legacy Drivers
       Both  AWS  and  Rackspace  are listed as "Legacy". This is because those drivers have been
       replaced by other drivers, which are generally the preferred method for working with those
       hosts.

       The  EC2  driver  should  be  used instead of the AWS driver, when possible. The OpenStack
       driver should be used instead of the Rackspace driver, unless the  user  is  dealing  with
       instances in "the old cloud" in Rackspace.

   Note for Developers
       When  adding  new features to a particular cloud host, please make sure to add the feature
       to this table. Additionally, if you notice a feature that is  not  properly  listed  here,
       pull requests to fix them is appreciated.

   Standard Features
       These are features that are available for almost every cloud host.

   Tutorials
   Salt Cloud Quickstart
       Salt  Cloud  is  built-in  to Salt, and the easiest way to run Salt Cloud is directly from
       your Salt Master.

       Note that if you installed  Salt  via  Salt  Bootstrap,  it  may  not  have  automatically
       installed  salt-cloud  for  you.  Use  your  distribution's package manager to install the
       salt-cloud package from the same repo that you used to install  Salt.   These  repos  will
       automatically be setup by Salt Bootstrap.

       Alternatively,  the  -L  option can be passed to the Salt Bootstrap script when installing
       Salt. The -L option will install salt-cloud and the required libcloud package.

       This quickstart walks you through the basic steps of setting up a cloud host and  defining
       some virtual machines to create.

       NOTE:
          Salt  Cloud  has  its  own  process  and does not rely on the Salt Master, so it can be
          installed on a standalone minion instead of your Salt Master.

   Define a Provider
       The first step is to add the credentials  for  your  cloud  host.  Credentials  and  other
       settings  provided  by the cloud host are stored in provider configuration files. Provider
       configurations contain the details needed to connect to a cloud host  such  as  EC2,  GCE,
       Rackspace,  etc.,  and any global options that you want set on your cloud minions (such as
       the location of your Salt Master).

       On your Salt Master, browse to  /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/  and  create  a  file  called
       <provider>.conf,  replacing  <provider> with ec2, softlayer, and so on. The name helps you
       identify the contents, and is not important as long as the file ends in .conf.

       Next, browse to the Provider specifics and add any required settings for your  cloud  host
       to this file. Here is an example for Amazon EC2:

          my-ec2:
            driver: ec2
            # Set the EC2 access credentials (see below)
            #
            id: 'HJGRYCILJLKJYG'
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            # Make sure this key is owned by root with permissions 0400.
            #
            private_key: /etc/salt/my_test_key.pem
            keyname: my_test_key
            securitygroup: default
            # Optional: Set up the location of the Salt Master
            #
            minion:
              master: saltmaster.example.com

       The  required  configuration varies between cloud hosts so make sure you read the provider
       specifics.

   List Cloud Provider Options
       You can now query the cloud provider you configured for available locations,  images,  and
       sizes. This information is used when you set up VM profiles.

          salt-cloud --list-locations <provider_name>  # my-ec2 in the previous example
          salt-cloud --list-images <provider_name>
          salt-cloud --list-sizes <provider_name>

       Replace <provider_name> with the name of the provider configuration you defined.

   Create VM Profiles
       On  your  Salt  Master,  browse  to  /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/  and create a file called
       <profile>.conf, replacing <profile> with ec2, softlayer, and so on. The file must  end  in
       .conf.

       You  can  now  add  any  custom profiles you'd like to define to this file. Here are a few
       examples:

          micro_ec2:
            provider: my-ec2
            image: ami-d514f291
            size: t1.micro

          medium_ec2:
            provider: my-ec2
            image: ami-d514f291
            size: m3.medium

          large_ec2:
            provider: my-ec2
            image: ami-d514f291
            size: m3.large

       Notice that the provider in our profile matches the provider name that we defined? That is
       how Salt Cloud knows how to connect to a cloud host to create a VM with these attributes.

   Create VMs
       VMs are created by calling salt-cloud with the following options:

          salt-cloud -p <profile> <name1> <name2> ...

       For example:

          salt-cloud -p micro_ec2 minion1 minion2

   Destroy VMs
       Add a -d and the minion name you provided to destroy:

          salt-cloud -d minion1 minion2

   Query VMs
       You can view details about the VMs you've created using --query:

          salt-cloud --query

   Cloud Map
       Now  that  you  know how to create and destoy individual VMs, next you should learn how to
       use a cloud map to create a number of VMs at once.

       Cloud maps let you define a map of your infrastructure and quickly provision any number of
       VMs.  On  subsequent runs, any VMs that do not exist are created, and VMs that are already
       configured are left unmodified.

       See Cloud Map File.

   Using Salt Cloud with the Event Reactor
       One of the most powerful features of the Salt framework is  the  Event  Reactor.   As  the
       Reactor  was  in  development,  Salt  Cloud was regularly updated to take advantage of the
       Reactor upon completion. As such, various aspects of both the creation and destruction  of
       instances  with  Salt Cloud fire events to the Salt Master, which can be used by the Event
       Reactor.

   Event Structure
       As of this writing, all events in Salt Cloud have a tag, which  includes  the  ID  of  the
       instance  being  managed,  and  a payload which describes the task that is currently being
       handled. A Salt Cloud tag looks like:

          salt/cloud/<minion_id>/<task>

       For instance, the first event fired when creating an instance named web1 would look like:

          salt/cloud/web1/creating

       Assuming this instance is using the  ec2-centos  profile,  which  is  in  turn  using  the
       ec2-config provider, the payload for this tag would look like:

          {"name": "web1", "profile": "ec2-centos", "provider": "ec2-config:ec2"}

   Available Events
       When an instance is created in Salt Cloud, whether by map, profile, or directly through an
       API, a minimum of five events are normally fired. More may be  available,  depending  upon
       the cloud provider being used. Some of the common events are described below.

   salt/cloud/<minion_id>/creating
       This  event  states simply that the process to create an instance has begun. At this point
       in time, no actual work has begun. The payload for this event includes:

       name profile provider

   salt/cloud/<minion_id>/requesting
       Salt Cloud is about to make a request to the cloud provider to create an instance. At this
       point,  all  of  the  variables  required  to make the request have been gathered, and the
       payload of the event will reflect those variables which do not normally  pose  a  security
       risk.  What  is  returned here is dependent upon the cloud provider. Some common variables
       are:

       name image size location

   salt/cloud/<minion_id>/querying
       The instance has been successfully requested, but the necessary information  to  log  into
       the  instance (such as IP address) is not yet available. This event marks the beginning of
       the process to wait for this information.

       The payload for this event normally only includes the instance_id.

   salt/cloud/<minion_id>/waiting_for_ssh
       The information required to log into the instance has been retrieved, but the instance  is
       not  necessarily  ready to be accessed. Following this event, Salt Cloud will wait for the
       IP address to respond to a ping, then wait for the specified port (usually 22) to  respond
       to  a  connection,  and  on  Linux  systems,  for SSH to become available. Salt Cloud will
       attempt to issue the date  command  on  the  remote  system,  as  a  means  to  check  for
       availability.  If  no  ssh_username has been specified, a list of usernames (starting with
       root) will be attempted. If one or more usernames was configured  for  ssh_username,  they
       will be added to the beginning of the list, in order.

       The payload for this event normally only includes the ip_address.

   salt/cloud/<minion_id>/deploying
       The  necessary  port  has  been detected as available, and now Salt Cloud can log into the
       instance, upload any files used for deployment, and run the deploy script. Once the script
       has completed, Salt Cloud will log back into the instance and remove any remaining files.

       A  number  of  variables  are  used to deploy instances, and the majority of these will be
       available in the payload. Any keys, passwords or other sensitive data will be scraped from
       the  payload.  Most  of  the variables returned will be related to the profile or provider
       config, and any default values that could have been changed in the  profile  or  provider,
       but weren't.

   salt/cloud/<minion_id>/created
       The  deploy  sequence  has completed, and the instance is now available, Salted, and ready
       for use. This  event  is  the  final  task  for  Salt  Cloud,  before  returning  instance
       information to the user and exiting.

       The  payload  for  this  event  contains little more than the initial creating event. This
       event is required in all cloud providers.

   Filtering Events
       When creating a VM, it is possible with certain tags to filter  how  much  information  is
       sent to the event bus. The tags that can be filtered on any provider are:

       • salt/cloud/<minion_id>/creatingsalt/cloud/<minion_id>/requestingsalt/cloud/<minion_id>/created

       Other  providers  may  allow  other  tags  to  be  filtered;  when  that  is the case, the
       documentation for that provider will contain more details.

       To filter information, create a section in your /etc/salt/cloud file called filter_events.
       Create  a section for each tag that you want to filter, using the last segment of the tag.
       For instance, use creating to represent salt/cloud/<minion_id>/creating:

          filter_events:
            creating:
              keys:
                - name
                - profile
                - provider

       Any keys listed here will be added to  the  default  keys  that  are  already  set  to  be
       displayed  for  that  provider.  If you wish to start with a clean slate and only show the
       keys specified, add another option called use_defaults and set it to False.

          filter_events:
            creating:
              keys:
                - name
                - profile
                - provider
              use_defaults: False

   Configuring the Event Reactor
       The Event Reactor is built into the Salt Master process, and as such is configured via the
       master  configuration file. Normally this will be a YAML file located at /etc/salt/master.
       Additionally, master configuration items  can  be  stored,  in  YAML  format,  inside  the
       /etc/salt/master.d/ directory.

       These  configuration  items  may  be  stored in either location; however, they may only be
       stored in one location. For organizational and security purposes, it may be best to create
       a  single  configuration  file,  which  contains  only  Event  Reactor  configuration,  at
       /etc/salt/master.d/reactor.

       The Event Reactor uses a top-level configuration item called reactor. This block  contains
       a  list  of  tags  to be watched for, each of which also includes a list of sls files. For
       instance:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/minion/*/start':
              - '/srv/reactor/custom-reactor.sls'
            - 'salt/cloud/*/created':
              - '/srv/reactor/cloud-alert.sls'
            - 'salt/cloud/*/destroyed':
              - '/srv/reactor/cloud-destroy-alert.sls'

       The above configuration configures reactors for three different tags: one which  is  fired
       when a minion process has started and is available to receive commands, one which is fired
       when a cloud instance has been created, and one which is fired when a  cloud  instance  is
       destroyed.

       Note  that  each  tag  contains  a  wildcard  (*) in it. For each of these tags, this will
       normally refer to a minion_id. This is not required of event tags, but is very common.

   Reactor SLS Files
       Reactor sls files should be placed in the /srv/reactor/ directory for consistency  between
       environments, but this is not currently enforced by Salt.

       Reactor  sls files follow a similar format to other sls files in Salt. By default they are
       written in YAML and can be templated using Jinja, but since  they  are  processed  through
       Salt's rendering system, any available renderer (JSON, Mako, Cheetah, etc.) can be used.

       As  with  other  sls  files, each stanza will start with a declaration ID, followed by the
       function to run, and then any arguments for that function. For example:

          # /srv/reactor/cloud-alert.sls
          new_instance_alert:
            cmd.pagerduty.create_event:
              - tgt: alertserver
              - kwarg:
                  description: "New instance: {{ data['name'] }}"
                  details: "New cloud instance created on {{ data['provider'] }}"
                  service_key: 1626dead5ecafe46231e968eb1be29c4
                  profile: my-pagerduty-account

       When the Event Reactor receives an event  notifying  it  that  a  new  instance  has  been
       created,  this sls will create a new incident in PagerDuty, using the configured PagerDuty
       account.

       The declaration  ID  in  this  example  is  new_instance_alert.  The  function  called  is
       cmd.pagerduty.create_event.  The  cmd portion of this function specifies that an execution
       module and function will be called, in this case, the pagerduty.create_event function.

       Because an execution module is specified, a target (tgt) must be  specified  on  which  to
       call  the function. In this case, a minion called alertserver has been used. Any arguments
       passed through to the function are declared in the kwarg block.

   Example: Reactor-Based Highstate
       When Salt Cloud creates an instance, by default it will install the Salt Minion  onto  the
       instance,  along  with  any  specified minion configuration, and automatically accept that
       minion's keys on the master. One of the configuration options that  can  be  specified  is
       startup_states,  which  is  commonly  set  to  highstate.  This  will  tell  the minion to
       immediately apply a highstate, as soon as it is able to do so.

       This can present a problem with some system images on some cloud hosts. For instance, Salt
       Cloud  can  be  configured  to log in as either the root user, or a user with sudo access.
       While some hosts commonly use images that lock out remote root access and require  a  user
       with  sudo privileges to log in (notably EC2, with their ec2-user login), most cloud hosts
       fall back to root as the default login on all  images,  including  for  operating  systems
       (such as Ubuntu) which normally disallow remote root login.

       For  users of these operating systems, it is understandable that a highstate would include
       configuration to block remote root logins again. However, Salt Cloud may not have finished
       cleaning  up  its  deployment files by the time the minion process has started, and kicked
       off a highstate run. Users have reported errors from Salt Cloud getting locked  out  while
       trying to clean up after itself.

       The  goal  of  a  startup  state may be achieved using the Event Reactor. Because a minion
       fires an event when it is able to receive commands, this event  can  effectively  be  used
       inside  the  reactor  system  instead.  The following will point the reactor system to the
       right sls file:

          reactor:
            - 'salt/cloud/*/created':
              - '/srv/reactor/startup_highstate.sls'

       And the following sls file will start a highstate run on the target minion:

          # /srv/reactor/startup_highstate.sls
          reactor_highstate:
            cmd.state.apply:
              - tgt: {{ data['name'] }}

       Because this event will not be fired until Salt Cloud has cleaned  up  after  itself,  the
       highstate  run will not step on salt-cloud's toes. And because every file on the minion is
       configurable, including /etc/salt/minion, the startup_states can still be  configured  for
       future minion restarts, if desired.

SALT PROXY MINION

       Proxy  minions  are  a  developing Salt feature that enables controlling devices that, for
       whatever reason, cannot run a standard salt-minion.  Examples include  network  gear  that
       has  an API but runs a proprietary OS, devices with limited CPU or memory, or devices that
       could run a minion, but for security reasons, will not.

       There are some proxy modules available, but if your  device  interface  is  not  currently
       supported  you will most likely have to write the interface yourself, because there are an
       infinite number of controllable devices. Fortunately, this is only  as  difficult  as  the
       actual interface to the proxied device. Devices that have an existing Python module (PyUSB
       for example) would be relatively simple to interface.  Code to control a device  that  has
       an  HTML REST-based interface should be easy.  Code to control your typical housecat would
       be excellent source material for a PhD thesis.

       Salt proxy-minions provide the 'plumbing' that allows device  enumeration  and  discovery,
       control, status, remote execution, and state management.

       See  the  Proxy Minion Walkthrough for an end-to-end demonstration of a working REST-based
       proxy minion.

       See the Proxy Minion SSH Walkthrough for an end-to-end  demonstration  of  a  working  SSH
       proxy minion.

       See  Proxyminion  States  to  configure and run salt-proxy on a remote minion. Specify all
       your master side proxy (pillar) configuration and use this  state  to  remotely  configure
       proxies on one or more minions.

       See  Proxyminion  Beacon  to  help  with  easy  configuration and management of salt-proxy
       processes.

   New in 2017.7.0
       The proxy_merge_grains_in_module configuration variable introduced  in  2016.3,  has  been
       changed, defaulting to True.

       The connection with the remote device is kept alive by default, when the module implements
       the alive function and proxy_keep_alive is set to True. The polling interval is set  using
       the proxy_keep_alive_interval option which defaults to 1 minute.

       The  developers are also able to use the proxy_always_alive, when designing a proxy module
       flexible enough to open the connection with the remote device only when required.

   New in 2016.11.0
       Proxy minions now support configuration files with names ending in '*.conf' and placed  in
       /etc/salt/proxy.d.

       Proxy  minions  can  now  be configured in /etc/salt/proxy or /etc/salt/proxy.d instead of
       just pillar.  Configuration format is the same as it would be in pillar.

   New in 2016.3
       The deprecated config option enumerate_proxy_minions has been removed.

       As mentioned in earlier documentation, the add_proxymodule_to_opts configuration  variable
       defaults  to  False  in  this  release.  This means if you have proxymodules or other code
       looking  in  __opts__['proxymodule']  you  will  need  to  set  this  variable   in   your
       /etc/salt/proxy file, or modify your code to use the __proxy__ injected variable.

       The  __proxyenabled__  directive  now only applies to grains and proxy modules themselves.
       Standard execution modules and state modules are not  prevented  from  loading  for  proxy
       minions.

       Enhancements  in  grains  processing  have  made  the  __proxyenabled__ directive somewhat
       redundant in dynamic grains code.  It is  still  required,  but  best  practices  for  the
       __virtual__  function  in  grains  files  have  changed.   It  is now recommended that the
       __virtual__ functions check to make sure they are being loaded for the correct  proxytype,
       example below:

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Only work on proxy
              """
              try:
                  if (
                      salt.utils.platform.is_proxy()
                      and __opts__["proxy"]["proxytype"] == "ssh_sample"
                  ):
                      return __virtualname__
              except KeyError:
                  pass

              return False

       The  try/except  block  above  exists because grains are processed very early in the proxy
       minion startup process, sometimes earlier than the proxy key in the __opts__ dictionary is
       populated.

       Grains  are  loaded  so  early  in  startup  that  no  dunder dictionaries are present, so
       __proxy__, __salt__, etc. are not available.  Custom grains located  in  /srv/salt/_grains
       and  in  the  salt install grains directory can now take a single argument, proxy, that is
       identical to __proxy__.  This enables patterns like

          def get_ip(proxy):
              """
              Ask the remote device what IP it has
              """
              return {"ip": proxy["proxymodulename.get_ip"]()}

       Then the grain ip will contain  the  result  of  calling  the  get_ip()  function  in  the
       proxymodule called proxymodulename.

       Proxy  modules  now benefit from including a function called initialized().  This function
       should return True if the proxy's init() function has been successfully called.   This  is
       needed to make grains processing easier.

       Finally,  if  there is a function called grains in the proxymodule, it will be executed on
       proxy-minion startup and its contents will be merged with the rest of the proxy's  grains.
       Since  older  proxy-minions  might have used other methods to call such a function and add
       its results to grains, this is config-gated by a new  proxy  configuration  option  called
       proxy_merge_grains_in_module.  This defaults to True in the 2017.7.0 release.

   New in 2015.8.2
       BREAKING  CHANGE:  Adding  the  proxymodule  variable   to  __opts__  is  deprecated.  The
       proxymodule variable has been moved a new globally-injected variable called __proxy__.   A
       related configuration option called add_proxymodule_to_opts has been added and defaults to
       True.  In the next major release, 2016.3.0, this variable will default to False.

       In the meantime, proxies that functioned under 2015.8.0 and .1  should  continue  to  work
       under 2015.8.2.  You should rework your proxy code to use __proxy__ as soon as possible.

       The rest_sample example proxy minion has been updated to use __proxy__.

       This  change was made because proxymodules are a LazyLoader object, but LazyLoaders cannot
       be serialized.  __opts__  gets  serialized,  and  so  things  like  saltutil.sync_all  and
       state.highstate would throw exceptions.

       Support  has  been  added  to  Salt's  loader allowing custom proxymodules to be placed in
       salt://_proxy.  Proxy minions that need these modules will need to be restarted to pick up
       any changes.  A corresponding utility function, saltutil.sync_proxymodules, has been added
       to sync these modules to minions.

       In addition, a salt.utils helper function called is_proxy() was added to make it easier to
       tell  when  the  running  minion  is  a  proxy  minion. NOTE: This function was renamed to
       salt.utils.platform.is_proxy() for the 2018.3.0 release

   New in 2015.8
       Starting with the 2015.8 release of Salt, proxy processes are no longer forked off from  a
       controlling minion.  Instead, they have their own script salt-proxy which takes mostly the
       same arguments that the standard Salt minion does with the addition of --proxyid.  This is
       the   id  that  the  salt-proxy  will  use  to  identify  itself  to  the  master.   Proxy
       configurations are still best kept in Pillar and their format has not changed.

       This change allows for better process control and logging.  Proxy  processes  can  now  be
       listed  with  standard  process  management utilities (ps from the command line).  Also, a
       full Salt minion is no longer required  (though  it  is  still  strongly  recommended)  on
       machines hosting proxies.

   Getting Started
       The following diagram may be helpful in understanding the structure of a Salt installation
       that includes proxy-minions: [image]

       The key thing to remember is the left-most section of the diagram.  Salt's  nature  is  to
       have  a  minion connect to a master, then the master may control the minion.  However, for
       proxy minions, the target device cannot run a minion.

       After the proxy minion is started and initiates its connection to the device, it  connects
       back to the salt-master and for all intents and purposes looks like just another minion to
       the Salt master.

       To create support for a proxied device one needs to create four things:

       1. The proxy_connection_module (located in salt/proxy).

       2. The grains support code (located in salt/grains).

       3. Salt modules specific to the controlled device.

       4. Salt states specific to the controlled device.

   Configuration parameters
       Proxy minions require no configuration parameters in /etc/salt/master.

       Salt's Pillar system is ideally suited for configuring proxy-minions (though they  can  be
       configured  in  /etc/salt/proxy  as  well).  Proxies can either be designated via a pillar
       file in pillar_roots,  or  through  an  external  pillar.   External  pillars  afford  the
       opportunity  for  interfacing  with  a configuration management system, database, or other
       knowledgeable system that that may already contain all the details of proxy  targets.   To
       use  static  files in pillar_roots, pattern your files after the following examples, which
       are based on the diagram above:

       /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            net-device1:
              - net-device1
            net-device2:
              - net-device2
            net-device3:
              - net-device3
            i2c-device4:
              - i2c-device4
            i2c-device5:
              - i2c-device5
            433wireless-device6:
              - 433wireless-device6
            smsgate-device7:
              - device7

       /srv/pillar/net-device1.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: networkswitch
            host: 172.23.23.5
            username: root
            passwd: letmein

       /srv/pillar/net-device2.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: networkswitch
            host: 172.23.23.6
            username: root
            passwd: letmein

       /srv/pillar/net-device3.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: networkswitch
            host: 172.23.23.7
            username: root
            passwd: letmein

       /srv/pillar/i2c-device4.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: i2c_lightshow
            i2c_address: 1

       /srv/pillar/i2c-device5.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: i2c_lightshow
            i2c_address: 2

       /srv/pillar/433wireless-device6.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: 433mhz_wireless

       /srv/pillar/smsgate-device7.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: sms_serial
            deventry: /dev/tty04

       Note the contents of each minioncontroller key may differ widely  based  on  the  type  of
       device that the proxy-minion is managing.

       In the above example

       • net-devices  1, 2, and 3 are network switches that have a management interface available
         at a particular IP address.

       • i2c-devices 4 and 5 are very low-level devices controlled over an i2c bus.  In this case
         the devices are physically connected to machine 'minioncontroller2', and are addressable
         on the i2c bus at their respective i2c addresses.

       • 433wireless-device6 is a 433 MHz wireless  transmitter,  also  physically  connected  to
         minioncontroller2

       • smsgate-device7  is  an  SMS gateway connected to machine minioncontroller3 via a serial
         port.

       Because of the way pillar works, each of the salt-proxy processes that fork off the  proxy
       minions will only see the keys specific to the proxies it will be handling.

       Proxies  can  be  configured  in  /etc/salt/proxy or with files in /etc/salt/proxy.d as of
       Salt's 2016.11.0 release.

       Also, in general, proxy-minions are lightweight, so  the  machines  that  run  them  could
       conceivably  control  a large number of devices.  To run more than one proxy from a single
       machine, simply start an additional proxy process with --proxyid set to the  id  to  which
       you  want  the  proxy  to bind.  It is possible for the proxy services to be spread across
       many machines if necessary, or intentionally run on machines that need to control  devices
       because  of some physical interface (e.g. i2c and serial above).  Another reason to divide
       proxy services might be security.  In more secure environments only certain  machines  may
       have a network path to certain devices.

   Proxymodules
       A  proxy  module  encapsulates  all  the  code  necessary  to  interface  with  a  device.
       Proxymodules are located inside the salt.proxy module, or can  be  placed  in  the  _proxy
       directory  in  your  file_roots  (default is /srv/salt/_proxy.  At a minimum a proxymodule
       object must implement the following functions:

       __virtual__(): This function performs the same duty that it does for other types  of  Salt
       modules.   Logic  goes  here  to  determine  if the module can be loaded, checking for the
       presence of Python modules on which the proxy depends.  Returning False will  prevent  the
       module from loading.

       init(opts):  Perform  any  initialization  that the device needs.  This is a good place to
       bring up a persistent connection to a device,  or  authenticate  to  create  a  persistent
       authorization token.

       initialized(): Returns True if init() was successfully called.

       shutdown():  Code  to  cleanly shut down or close a connection to a controlled device goes
       here.  This function must exist, but can contain only the keyword  pass  if  there  is  no
       shutdown logic required.

       ping(): While not required, it is highly recommended that this function also be defined in
       the proxymodule. The code for ping should contact the controlled device and make  sure  it
       is really available.

       alive(opts):  Another  optional  function,  it  is used together with the proxy_keep_alive
       option (default: True). This function should return a boolean value corresponding  to  the
       state  of  the  connection.   If  the  connection  is  down, will try to restart (shutdown
       followed by init). The polling frequency is controlled using the proxy_keep_alive_interval
       option, in minutes.

       grains():  Rather  than  including  grains in /srv/salt/_grains or in the standard install
       directories for grains, grains can be  computed  and  returned  by  this  function.   This
       function  will  be  called automatically if proxy_merge_grains_in_module is set to True in
       /etc/salt/proxy.  This variable defaults to True in the release code-named 2017.7.0.

       Pre 2015.8 the proxymodule also must have an id() function.  2015.8  and  following  don't
       use this function because the proxy's id is required on the command line.

       Here  is  an  example proxymodule used to interface to a very simple REST server. Code for
       the server is in the salt-contrib GitHub repository.

       This proxymodule  enables  "service"  enumeration,  starting,  stopping,  restarting,  and
       status; "package" installation, and a ping.

       Grains  are data about minions.  Most proxied devices will have a paltry amount of data as
       compared to a typical Linux server.  By default, a proxy minion will have  several  grains
       taken from the host.  Salt core code requires values for kernel, os, and os_family--all of
       these are forced to be proxy for proxy-minions.

       To add others to your proxy minion for a particular device, create a file  in  salt/grains
       named  [proxytype].py  and  place inside it the different functions that need to be run to
       collect the data you are interested in.  Here's  an  example.   Note  the  function  below
       called proxy_functions.  It demonstrates how a grains function can take a single argument,
       which will be set to the value of __proxy__.  Dunder variables are not yet  injected  into
       Salt  processes  at  the time grains are loaded, so this enables us to get a handle to the
       proxymodule so we can cross-call the  functions  therein  used  to  communicate  with  the
       controlled device.

       Note that as of 2016.3, grains values can also be calculated in a function called grains()
       in the proxymodule itself.  This might be useful if a proxymodule author wants to keep all
       the  code  for  the  proxy interface in the same place instead of splitting it between the
       proxy and grains directories.

       This  function  will  only  be  called  automatically  if   the   configuration   variable
       proxy_merge_grains_in_module  is  set  to  True  in  the proxy configuration file (default
       /etc/salt/proxy).  This variable defaults to True in the release code-named 2017.7.0.

   The __proxyenabled__ directive
       In previous versions of Salt the __proxyenabled__ directive controlled loading of all Salt
       modules  for proxies (e.g. grains, execution modules, state modules).  From 2016.3 on, the
       only modules that respect __proxyenabled__ are grains and proxy  modules.   These  modules
       need to be told which proxy they work with.

       __proxyenabled__ is a list, and can contain a single '*' to indicate a grains module works
       with all proxies.

       Example from salt/grains/rest_sample.py:

   Salt Proxy Minion End-to-End Example
       The following is walkthrough that documents how to run a sample REST service and configure
       one or more proxy minions to talk to and control it.

       1. Ideally,  create  a  Python  virtualenv  in which to run the REST service.  This is not
          strictly required, but without a virtualenv you will need to  install  bottle  via  pip
          globally on your system

       2. Clone  https://github.com/saltstack/salt-contrib and copy the contents of the directory
          proxyminion_rest_example somewhere on a machine that is reachable from the  machine  on
          which you want to run the salt-proxy.  This machine needs Python 2.7 or later.

       3. Install bottle version 0.12.8 via pip or easy_install

          pip install bottle==0.12.8

       4. Run python rest.py --help for usage

       5. Start the REST API on an appropriate port and IP.

       6. Load the REST service's status page in your browser by going to the IP/port combination
          (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:8000)

       7. You should see a  page  entitled  "Salt  Proxy  Minion"  with  two  sections,  one  for
          "services"  and one for "packages" and you should see a log entry in the terminal where
          you started the REST process indicating that the index page was retrieved.
       [image]

       Now, configure your salt-proxy.

       1. Edit /etc/salt/proxy and add an entry for your master's location

          master: localhost

       2. On your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for  your
          proxy  (in this example we will name the proxy with the letter 'p' followed by the port
          the proxy is answering on).  In your pillar topfile, place an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This says that Salt's pillar should load some values for the proxy  p8000  from  the  file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       3. In  the  pillar  root  for  your  base  environment, create the p8000.sls file with the
          following contents:

          proxy:
            proxytype: rest_sample
            url: http://<IP your REST listens on>:port

       In other words, if your REST service is listening on port 8000 on 127.0.0.1 the 'url'  key
       above should say url: http://127.0.0.1:8000

       4. Make sure your salt-master is running.

       5. Start the salt-proxy in debug mode

          salt-proxy --proxyid=p8000 -l debug

       6. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       7. Now  you  should be able to ping your proxy.  When you ping, you should see a log entry
          in the terminal where the REST service is running.

          salt p8000 test.version

       8. The REST service implements a degenerately simple pkg and service provider as well as a
          small  set of grains.  To "install" a package, use a standard pkg.install.  If you pass
          '==' and a verrsion number after the package name then the service will parse that  and
          accept that as the package's version.

       9. Try  running  salt p8000 grains.items to see what grains are available.  You can target
          proxies via grains if you like.

       10.
          You can also start and stop the available services  (apache,  redbull,  and  postgresql
          with service.start, etc.

       11.
          States can be written to target the proxy.  Feel free to experiment with them.

   SSH Proxymodules
       See above for a general introduction to writing proxy modules.  All of the guidelines that
       apply to REST are the same for SSH.  This sections specifically talks about the SSH  proxy
       module and explains the working of the example proxy module ssh_sample.

       Here is a simple example proxymodule used to interface to a device over SSH.  Code for the
       SSH shell is in the salt-contrib GitHub repository.

       This proxymodule enables "package" installation.

   Connection Setup
       The init() method is responsible for connection setup. It  uses  the  host,  username  and
       password  config  variables  defined in the pillar data. The prompt kwarg can be passed to
       SSHConnection if your SSH  server's  prompt  differs  from  the  example's  prompt  (Cmd).
       Instantiating  the  SSHConnection  class  establishes  an SSH connection to the ssh server
       (using Salt VT).

   Command execution
       The package_* methods use the SSH connection (established in init()) to send commands  out
       to  the  SSH  server.  The  sendline()  method  of SSHConnection class can be used to send
       commands out to the server. In the  above  example  we  send  commands  like  pkg_list  or
       pkg_install. You can send any SSH command via this utility.

   Output parsing
       Output returned by sendline() is a tuple of strings representing the stdout and the stderr
       respectively. In the toy example shown we simply scrape the output and  convert  it  to  a
       python  dictionary, as shown in the parse method. You can tailor this method to match your
       parsing logic.

   Connection teardown
       The  shutdown  method  is  responsible  for  calling  the  close_connection()  method   of
       SSHConnection class. This ends the SSH connection to the server.

       For more information please refer to class SSHConnection.

   Salt Proxy Minion SSH End-to-End Example
       The  following is walkthrough that documents how to run a sample SSH service and configure
       one or more proxy minions to talk to and control it.

       1. This walkthrough uses a custom SSH shell to provide an end to end example.   Any  other
          shells can be used too.

       2. Setup          the         proxy         command         shell         as         shown
          https://github.com/saltstack/salt-contrib/tree/master/proxyminion_ssh_example

       Now, configure your salt-proxy.

       1. Edit /etc/salt/proxy and add an entry for your master's location

          master: localhost
          multiprocessing: False

       2. On your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for  your
          proxy  (in this example we will name the proxy with the letter 'p' followed by the port
          the proxy is answering on).  In your pillar topfile, place an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This says that Salt's pillar should load some values for the proxy  p8000  from  the  file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       3. In  the  pillar  root  for  your  base  environment, create the p8000.sls file with the
          following contents:

          proxy:
            proxytype: ssh_sample
            host: saltyVM
            username: salt
            password: badpass

       4. Make sure your salt-master is running.

       5. Start the salt-proxy in debug mode

          salt-proxy --proxyid=p8000 -l debug

       6. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       7. Now you should be able to run commands on your proxy.

          salt p8000 pkg.list_pkgs

       8. The SSH shell implements a degenerately simple pkg.  To  "install"  a  package,  use  a
          standard  pkg.install.   If  you pass '==' and a verrsion number after the package name
          then the service will parse that and accept that as the package's version.
       New in version 2015.8.3.

   Proxy Minion Beacon
       The salt proxy beacon is meant to facilitate configuring multiple proxies on one  or  many
       minions. This should simplify configuring and managing multiple salt-proxy processes.

       1. On  your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for your
          proxy (in this example we will name the proxy 'p8000').  In your pillar topfile,  place
          an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This  says  that  Salt's  pillar should load some values for the proxy p8000 from the file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       2. In the pillar root for your base  environment,  create  the  p8000.sls  file  with  the
          following contents:

          proxy:
            # set proxytype for your proxymodule
            proxytype: ssh_sample
            host: saltyVM
            username: salt
            password: badpass

       This should complete the proxy setup for p8000

       3. Configure the salt_proxy beacon

          beacons:
            salt_proxy:
              - proxies:
                  p8000: {}
                  p8001: {}

       Once  this beacon is configured it will automatically start the salt-proxy process. If the
       salt-proxy process is terminated the beacon will re-start it.

       4. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       5. Now you should be able to run commands on your proxy.

          salt p8000 pkg.list_pkgs
       New in version 2015.8.2.

   Proxy Minion States
       Salt proxy state can be used to deploy, configure and run a salt-proxy  instance  on  your
       minion.  Configure  proxy  settings  on  the master side and the state configures and runs
       salt-proxy on the remote end.

       1. On your salt-master, ensure that pillar is configured properly.  Select an ID for  your
          proxy  (in this example we will name the proxy 'p8000').  In your pillar topfile, place
          an entry for your proxy:

          base:
            'p8000':
              - p8000

       This says that Salt's pillar should load some values for the proxy  p8000  from  the  file
       /srv/pillar/p8000.sls (if you have not changed your default pillar_roots)

       2. In  the  pillar  root  for  your  base  environment, create the p8000.sls file with the
          following contents:

          proxy:
            # set proxytype for your proxymodule
            proxytype: ssh_sample
            host: saltyVM
            username: salt
            password: badpass

       3. Create the following state in your state tree (let's name it salt_proxy.sls)

          salt-proxy-configure:
            salt_proxy.configure_proxy:
              - proxyname: p8000
              - start: True # start the process if it isn't running

       4. Make sure your salt-master and salt-minion are running.

       5. Run the state salt_proxy on the minion where you want to run salt-proxy

       Example using state.sls to configure and run salt-proxy

          # salt device_minion state.sls salt_proxy

       This starts salt-proxy on device_minion

       6. Accept your proxy's key on your salt-master

          salt-key -y -a p8000
          The following keys are going to be accepted:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          p8000
          Key for minion p8000 accepted.

       7. Now you should be able to run commands on your proxy.

          salt p8000 pkg.list_pkgs

NETWORK AUTOMATION

       Network automation is a continuous process of automating the configuration, management and
       operations  of  a  computer  network.  Although the abstraction could be compared with the
       operations on the server side, there are many particular challenges,  the  most  important
       being  that  a  network  device  is  traditionally closed hardware able to run proprietary
       software only. In other words, the user is not able to  install  the  salt-minion  package
       directly  on  a traditional network device. For these reasons, most network devices can be
       controlled only remotely via proxy minions or using the Salt SSH. However, there are  also
       vendors  producing whitebox equipment (e.g. Arista, Cumulus) or others that have moved the
       operating system  in  the  container  (e.g.  Cisco  NX-OS,  Cisco  IOS-XR),  allowing  the
       salt-minion to be installed directly on the platform.

   New in Carbon (2016.11)
       The  methodologies  for  network  automation  have  been  introduced in 2016.11.0. Network
       automation support is based on proxy minions.

       • NAPALM proxyJunos proxyCisco NXOSCisco NSO

   NAPALM
       NAPALM (Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor support)
       is  an  opensourced  Python  library  that  implements a set of functions to interact with
       different router vendor devices using a unified  API.   Being  vendor-agnostic  simplifies
       operations,  as the configuration and interaction with the network device does not rely on
       a particular vendor.  [image]

       Beginning with 2017.7.0, the NAPALM modules have been transformed so they can run in  both
       proxy  and  regular  minions.  That means, if the operating system allows, the salt-minion
       package can be installed directly on the network gear.  The interface between the  network
       operating system and Salt in that case would be the corresponding NAPALM sub-package.

       For example, if the user installs the salt-minion on a Arista switch, the only requirement
       is napalm-eos.

       The following modules are available in 2017.7.0:

       • NAPALM grainsNET execution module - Networking basic features

       • NTP execution moduleBGP execution moduleRoutes execution moduleSNMP execution moduleUsers execution moduleProbes execution moduleNTP peers management stateSNMP configuration management stateUsers management stateNetconfig state module - Manage the configuration of  network  devices  using  arbitrary
         templates and the Salt-specific advanced templating methodologies.

       • Network ACL execution module - Generate and load ACL (firewall) configuration on network
         devices.

       • Network ACL state - Manage the firewall configuration.  It  only  requires  writing  the
         pillar structure correctly!

       • NAPALM YANG execution module - Parse, generate and load native device configuration in a
         standard way, using the OpenConfig/IETF models. This module contains  also  helpers  for
         the states.

       • NAPALM YANG state module - Manage the network device configuration according to the YANG
         models (OpenConfig or IETF).

       • NET finder - Runner to find details easily and fast. It's smart enough to know what  you
         are  looking for. It will search in the details of the network interfaces, IP addresses,
         MAC address tables, ARP tables and LLDP neighbors.

       • BGP finder - Runner to search BGP neighbors details.

       • NAPALM syslog - Engine to import events from the napalm-logs library into the Salt event
         bus. The events are based on the syslog messages from the network devices and structured
         following the OpenConfig/IETF YANG models.

       • NAPALM Helpers -  Generic  helpers  for  NAPALM-related  operations.  For  example,  the
         Compliance  report function can be used inside the state modules to compare the expected
         and the existing configuration.

   Getting started
       Install NAPALM - follow the notes and check the platform-specific dependencies.

       Salt's Pillar system is ideally suited for configuring proxy-minions (though they  can  be
       configured  in  /etc/salt/proxy  as  well).  Proxies can either be designated via a pillar
       file in pillar_roots,  or  through  an  external  pillar.   External  pillars  afford  the
       opportunity  for  interfacing  with  a configuration management system, database, or other
       knowledgeable system that may already contain all the details of  proxy  targets.  To  use
       static files in pillar_roots, pattern your files after the following examples:

       /etc/salt/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            router1:

   Cross-platform configuration management example: NTP
       Assuming that the user adds the following two lines under file_roots:

          file_roots:
            base:
              - /etc/salt/pillar/
              - /etc/salt/templates/
              - /etc/salt/states/

       Define the list of NTP peers and servers wanted:

       /etc/salt/pillar/ntp.sls

          ntp.servers:
            - 1.2.3.4
            - 5.6.7.8
          ntp.peers:
             - 10.11.12.13
             - 14.15.16.17

       Include the new file: for example, if we want to have the same NTP servers on all  network
       devices, we can add the following line inside the top.sls file:

          '*':
            - ntp

       /etc/salt/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            '*':
              - ntp
            router1:
              - router1
            router2:
              - router2
            switch1:
              - switch1
            switch2:
              - switch2
            cpe1:
              - cpe1

       Or include only where needed:

       /etc/salt/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            router1:
              - router1
              - ntp
            router2:
              - router2
              - ntp
            switch1:
              - switch1
            switch2:
              - switch2
            cpe1:
              - cpe1

       Define the cross-vendor template:

       /etc/salt/templates/ntp.jinja

          {%- if grains.vendor|lower == 'cisco' %}
            no ntp
            {%- for server in servers %}
            ntp server {{ server }}
            {%- endfor %}
            {%- for peer in peers %}
            ntp peer {{ peer }}
            {%- endfor %}
          {%- elif grains.os|lower == 'junos' %}
            system {
              replace:
              ntp {
                {%- for server in servers %}
                server {{ server }};
                {%- endfor %}
                {%- for peer in peers %}
                peer {{ peer }};
                {%- endfor %}
              }
            }
          {%- endif %}

       Define the SLS state file, making use of the Netconfig state module:

       /etc/salt/states/router/ntp.sls

          ntp_config_example:
            netconfig.managed:
              - template_name: salt://ntp.jinja
              - peers: {{ pillar.get('ntp.peers', []) | json }}
              - servers: {{ pillar.get('ntp.servers', []) | json }}

       Run the state and assure NTP configuration consistency across your multi-vendor network:

          $ sudo salt 'router*' state.sls router.ntp

       Besides CLI, the state can be scheduled or executed when triggered by a certain event.

   JUNOS
       Juniper  has developed a Junos specific proxy infrastructure which allows remote execution
       and configuration management of Junos devices without having to install SaltStack  on  the
       device. The infrastructure includes:

       • Junos proxyJunos execution moduleJunos state moduleJunos syslog engine

       The  execution and state modules are implemented using junos-eznc (PyEZ).  Junos PyEZ is a
       microframework for Python that enables you to remotely manage and automate devices running
       the Junos operating system.

   Getting started
       Install  PyEZ  on the system which will run the Junos proxy minion.  It is required to run
       Junos specific modules.

          pip install junos-eznc

       Next, set the master of the proxy minions.

       /etc/salt/proxy

          master: <master_ip>

       Add the details of the Junos device. Device details are usually stored in salt pillars. If
       the you do not wish to store credentials in the pillar, one can setup passwordless ssh.

       /srv/pillar/vmx_details.sls

          proxy:
            proxytype: junos
            host: <hostip>
            username: user
            passwd: secret123

       Map the pillar file to the proxy minion. This is done in the top file.

       /srv/pillar/top.sls

          base:
            vmx:
              - vmx_details

       NOTE:
          Before  starting the Junos proxy make sure that netconf is enabled on the Junos device.
          This can be done by adding the following configuration on the Junos device.

              set system services netconf ssh

       Start the salt master.

          salt-master -l debug

       Then start the salt proxy.

          salt-proxy --proxyid=vmx -l debug

       Once the master and junos proxy minion have  started,  we  can  run  execution  and  state
       modules on the proxy minion. Below are few examples.

   CLI examples
       For  detailed  documentation  of  all  the  junos execution modules refer: Junos execution
       module

       Display device facts.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.facts

       Refresh the Junos facts. This function will also refresh the facts  which  are  stored  in
       salt grains. (Junos proxy stores Junos facts in the salt grains)

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.facts_refresh

       Call an RPC.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.rpc 'get-interface-information' '/var/log/interface-info.txt' terse=True

       Install config on the device.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.install_config 'salt://my_config.set'

       Shutdown the junos device.

          $ sudo salt 'vmx' junos.shutdown shutdown=True in_min=10

   State file examples
       For detailed documentation of all the junos state modules refer: Junos state module

       Executing an RPC on Junos device and storing the output in a file.

       /srv/salt/rpc.sls

          get-interface-information:
              junos:
                - rpc
                - dest: /home/user/rpc.log
                - interface_name: lo0

       Lock the junos device, load the configuration, commit it and unlock the device.

       /srv/salt/load.sls

          lock the config:
            junos.lock

          salt://configs/my_config.set:
            junos:
              - install_config
              - timeout: 100
              - diffs_file: 'var/log/diff'

          commit the changes:
            junos:
              - commit

          unlock the config:
            junos.unlock

       According to the device personality install appropriate image on the device.

       /srv/salt/image_install.sls

          {% if grains['junos_facts']['personality'] == MX %}
          salt://images/mx_junos_image.tgz:
            junos:
              - install_os
              - timeout: 100
              - reboot: True
          {% elif grains['junos_facts']['personality'] == EX %}
          salt://images/ex_junos_image.tgz:
            junos:
              - install_os
              - timeout: 150
          {% elif grains['junos_facts']['personality'] == SRX %}
          salt://images/srx_junos_image.tgz:
            junos:
              - install_os
              - timeout: 150
          {% endif %}

   Junos Syslog Engine
       Junos  Syslog  Engine  is  a  Salt  engine which receives data from various Junos devices,
       extracts event information and forwards it on the master/minion event bus.  To  start  the
       engine on the salt master, add the following configuration in the master config file.  The
       engine can also run on the salt minion.

       /etc/salt/master

          engines:
            - junos_syslog:
                port: xxx

       For junos_syslog engine to receive events, syslog must be set on the Junos  device.   This
       can be done via following configuration:

          set system syslog host <ip-of-the-salt-device> port xxx any any

SALT VIRT

       The Salt Virt cloud controller capability was initially added to Salt in version 0.14.0 as
       an alpha technology.

       The initial Salt Virt system supports core cloud operations:

       • Virtual machine deployment

       • Inspection of deployed VMs

       • Virtual machine migration

       • Network profiling

       • Automatic VM integration with all aspects of Salt

       • Image Pre-seeding

       Many features are currently under development to enhance the capabilities of the Salt Virt
       systems.

       NOTE:
          It  is  noteworthy that Salt was originally developed with the intent of using the Salt
          communication system as the backbone to a cloud controller.  This means that  the  Salt
          Virt  system  is  not an afterthought, simply a system that took the back seat to other
          development. The original attempt to develop the cloud control aspects of  Salt  was  a
          project  called butter.  This project never took off, but was functional and proves the
          early viability of Salt to be a cloud controller.

       WARNING:
          Salt Virt does not work with KVM that is running in a VM. KVM must be  running  on  the
          base hardware.

   Salt Virt Tutorial
       A  tutorial  about  how  to  get  Salt  Virt up and running has been added to the tutorial
       section:

       Cloud Controller Tutorial

   The Salt Virt Runner
       The point of interaction with the cloud controller is the virt  runner.  The  virt  runner
       comes with routines to execute specific virtual machine routines.

       Reference  documentation  for  the  virt  runner  is  available  with  the  runner  module
       documentation:

       Virt Runner Reference

   Based on Live State Data
       The Salt Virt system is based on using Salt to query live data about hypervisors and  then
       using  the  data  gathered  to  make  decisions about cloud operations. This means that no
       external resources are required to run Salt Virt, and that the information gathered  about
       the cloud is live and accurate.

   Deploy from Network or Disk
   Virtual Machine Disk Profiles
       Salt  Virt  allows  for  the  disks  created  for  deployed  virtual machines to be finely
       configured. The  configuration  is  a  simple  data  structure  which  is  read  from  the
       config.option  function, meaning that the configuration can be stored in the minion config
       file, the master config file, or the minion's pillar.

       This configuration option is called virt.disk. The default virt.disk data structure  looks
       like this:

          virt.disk:
            default:
              - system:
                size: 8192
                format: qcow2
                model: virtio

       NOTE:
          The  format  and  model  does  not need to be defined, Salt will default to the optimal
          format used by the underlying hypervisor, in the case of  kvm  this  it  is  qcow2  and
          virtio.

       This  configuration  sets  up a disk profile called default. The default profile creates a
       single system disk on the virtual machine.

   Define More Profiles
       Many environments will require more complex disk profiles and may require  more  than  one
       profile, this can be easily accomplished:

          virt.disk:
            default:
              - system:
                  size: 8192
            database:
              - system:
                  size: 8192
              - data:
                  size: 30720
            web:
              - system:
                  size: 1024
              - logs:
                  size: 5120

       This  configuration  allows  for  one  of  three profiles to be selected, allowing virtual
       machines to be created with different storage needs of the deployed vm.

   Virtual Machine Network Profiles
       Salt Virt allows for the network devices created  for  deployed  virtual  machines  to  be
       finely  configured.  The  configuration  is a simple data structure which is read from the
       config.option function, meaning that the configuration can be stored in the minion  config
       file, the master config file, or the minion's pillar.

       This  configuration option is called virt:nic. By default the virt:nic option is empty but
       defaults to a data structure which looks like this:

          virt:
            nic:
              default:
                eth0:
                  bridge: br0
                  model: virtio

       NOTE:
          The model does not need to be defined, Salt will default to the optimal model  used  by
          the underlying hypervisor, in the case of kvm this model is virtio

       This configuration sets up a network profile called default. The default profile creates a
       single Ethernet device on the virtual machine that is  bridged  to  the  hypervisor's  br0
       interface.  This default setup does not require setting up the virt:nic configuration, and
       is the reason why a default install only requires setting up the br0 bridge device on  the
       hypervisor.

   Define More Profiles
       Many environments will require more complex network profiles and may require more than one
       profile, this can be easily accomplished:

          virt:
            nic:
              dual:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: storage_br
              single:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
              triple:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: storage_br
                eth2:
                  bridge: dmz_br
              all:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: storage_br
                eth2:
                  bridge: dmz_br
                eth3:
                  bridge: database_br
              dmz:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: dmz_br
              database:
                eth0:
                  bridge: service_br
                eth1:
                  bridge: database_br

       This configuration allows for one  of  six  profiles  to  be  selected,  allowing  virtual
       machines  to  be  created  which attach to different network depending on the needs of the
       deployed vm.

              this  option is omitted, the master options from the minion config will be used. If
              multi masters are set up the first listed master that responds will be used.

       --return RETURNER
              Set salt-call to pass the return data to one or many returner interfaces.   To  use
              many returner interfaces specify a comma delimited list of returners.

       --local
              Run salt-call locally, as if there was no master running.

       --file-root=FILE_ROOT
              Set this directory as the base file root.

       --pillar-root=PILLAR_ROOT
              Set this directory as the base pillar root.

       --retcode-passthrough
              Exit with the salt call retcode and not the salt binary retcode

       --metadata
              Print  out  the  execution  metadata as well as the return. This will print out the
              outputter data, the return code, etc.

       --id=ID
              Specify the minion id to use. If this option is omitted, the  id  option  from  the
              minion config will be used.

       --skip-grains
              Do not load grains.

       --refresh-grains-cache
              Force a refresh of the grains cache

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
              Console logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass  in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can
              be any of the available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific  functions.   If
              an  outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt will
              fall back on the pprint outputter and display the  return  data  using  the  Python
              pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print  the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable
              indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and
                 yellow denotes a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override  the  configured  state_output  value  for  minion  output. One of 'full',
              'terse', 'mixed', 'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override the configured state_verbose value for  minion  output.  Set  to  True  or
              False. Default: none.

   Synopsis
          salt '*' [ options ] sys.doc

          salt -E '.*' [ options ] sys.doc cmd

          salt -G 'os:Arch.*' [ options ] test.version

          salt -C 'G@os:Arch.* and webserv* or G@kernel:FreeBSD' [ options ] test.version

   Description
       Salt allows for commands to be executed across a swath of remote systems in parallel. This
       means that remote systems can be both controlled and queried with ease.

   Options
       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The location of the Salt  configuration  directory.  This  directory  contains  the
              configuration  files  for  Salt  master  and  minions. The default location on most
              systems is /etc/salt.

       -t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
              The timeout in seconds to wait for replies  from  the  Salt  minions.  The  timeout
              number  specifies  how  long the command line client will wait to query the minions
              and check on running jobs. Default: 5

       -s, --static
              By default as of version 0.9.8 the salt command returns data to the console  as  it
              is  received  from  minions, but previous releases would return data only after all
              data was received. Use the static option to  only  return  the  data  with  a  hard
              timeout  and  after all minions have returned.  Without the static option, you will
              get a separate JSON string per minion which makes JSON output invalid as a whole.

       --async
              Instead of waiting for the job to run on minions only  print  the  job  id  of  the
              started execution and complete.

       --subset=SUBSET
              Execute  the  routine on a random subset of the targeted minions.  The minions will
              be verified that they have the named function before executing. The SUBSET argument
              is the count of the minions to target.

       -v VERBOSE, --verbose
              Turn  on verbosity for the salt call, this will cause the salt command to print out
              extra data like the job id.

       --hide-timeout
              Instead of showing the return data for all minions. This  option  prints  only  the
              online minions which could be reached.

       -b BATCH, --batch-size=BATCH
              Instead  of executing on all targeted minions at once, execute on a progressive set
              of minions. This option takes an argument in the form  of  an  explicit  number  of
              minions to execute at once, or a percentage of minions to execute on.

       --batch-wait=BATCH_WAIT
              Wait  the  specified time in seconds after each job is done before freeing the slot
              in the batch of the next one.

       --batch-safe-limit=BATCH_SAFE_LIMIT
              Execute the salt job in batch mode if the job would have executed on at least  this
              many minions.

       --batch-safe-size=BATCH_SAFE_SIZE
              Batch size to use for batch jobs created by --batch-safe-limit.

       -a EAUTH, --auth=EAUTH
              Pass in an external authentication medium to validate against. The credentials will
              be prompted for. The options are auto, keystone, ldap, and pam. Can  be  used  with
              the -T option.

       -T, --make-token
              Used  in  conjunction  with the -a option. This creates a token that allows for the
              authenticated user to send commands without needing to re-authenticate.

       --return=RETURNER
              Choose an alternative returner to call on the minion, if an alternative returner is
              used then the return will not come back to the command line but will be sent to the
              specified return system.  The options are carbon,  cassandra,  couchbase,  couchdb,
              elasticsearch,  etcd,  hipchat,  local,  local_cache, memcache, mongo, mysql, odbc,
              postgres, redis, sentry, slack, sms, smtp, sqlite3, syslog, and xmpp.

       -d, --doc, --documentation
              Return the documentation for the module functions available on the minions

       --args-separator=ARGS_SEPARATOR
              Set the special argument used as a delimiter between command arguments of  compound
              commands.  This is useful when one wants to pass commas as arguments to some of the
              commands in a compound command.

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
              Console logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/master.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

   Target Selection
       The default matching that Salt utilizes is shell-style globbing around the minion id.  See
       https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html#module-fnmatch.

       -E, --pcre
              The  target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression rather than
              a shell glob.

       -L, --list
              The target expression will be  interpreted  as  a  comma-delimited  list;  example:
              server1.foo.bar,server2.foo.bar,example7.quo.qux

       -G, --grain
              The  target  expression  matches  values  returned by the Salt grains system on the
              minions.  The  target  expression  is  in  the  format  of   '<grain   value>:<glob
              expression>'; example: 'os:Arch*'

              This  was  changed  in  version 0.9.8 to accept glob expressions instead of regular
              expression. To use regular expression matching with grains,  use  the  --grain-pcre
              option.

       --grain-pcre
              The  target  expression  matches  values  returned by the Salt grains system on the
              minions. The target expression  is  in  the  format  of  '<grain  value>:<  regular
              expression>'; example: 'os:Arch.*'

       -N, --nodegroup
              Use a predefined compound target defined in the Salt master configuration file.

       -R, --range
              Instead  of  using  shell  globs  to evaluate the target, use a range expression to
              identify targets. Range expressions look like %cluster.

              Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up and the  location  of
              the range server is referenced in the master configuration file.

       -C, --compound
              Utilize many target definitions to make the call very granular. This option takes a
              group of targets separated by and or or. The default matcher is a glob as usual. If
              something  other than a glob is used, preface it with the letter denoting the type;
              example: 'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@db*' Make sure that the compound target  is
              encapsulated in quotes.

       -I, --pillar
              Instead of using shell globs to evaluate the target, use a pillar value to identify
              targets. The syntax for the target is the pillar key followed by a glob expression:
              "role:production*"

       -S, --ipcidr
              Match based on Subnet (CIDR notation) or IPv4 address.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass  in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can
              be any of the available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific  functions.   If
              an  outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt will
              fall back on the pprint outputter and display the  return  data  using  the  Python
              pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print  the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable
              indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and
                 yellow denotes a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override  the  configured  state_output  value  for  minion  output. One of 'full',
              'terse', 'mixed', 'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override the configured state_verbose value for  minion  output.  Set  to  True  or
              False. Default: none.

       NOTE:
          If  using  --out=json,  you  will  probably  want --static as well.  Without the static
          option, you will get a separate JSON string per minion which makes JSON output  invalid
          as  a whole.  This is due to using an iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it to
          a JSON parser, use --static as well.

   salt-cp
       Copy a file or files to one or more minions

   Synopsis
          salt-cp '*' [ options ] SOURCE [SOURCE2 SOURCE3 ...] DEST

          salt-cp -E '.*' [ options ] SOURCE [SOURCE2 SOURCE3 ...] DEST

          salt-cp -G 'os:Arch.*' [ options ] SOURCE [SOURCE2 SOURCE3 ...] DEST

   Description
       salt-cp copies files from the master to all of the Salt minions matched by  the  specified
       target expression.

       NOTE:
          salt-cp uses Salt's publishing mechanism. This means the privacy of the contents of the
          file on the wire is completely dependent upon the transport in use. In addition, if the
          master or minion is running with debug logging, the contents of the file will be logged
          to disk.

          In addition, this tool is less efficient than the Salt fileserver when  copying  larger
          files.  It  is  recommended to instead use cp.get_file to copy larger files to minions.
          However, this requires the file to be located within one of the fileserver directories.

       Changed in version 2016.3.7,2016.11.6,2017.7.0: Compression support  added,  disable  with
       -n.  Also, if the destination path ends in a path separator (i.e. /,  or \ on Windows, the
       desitination will be assumed to be a  directory.  Finally,  recursion  is  now  supported,
       allowing for entire directories to be copied.

       Changed  in  version  2016.11.7,2017.7.2:  Reverted  back to the old copy mode to preserve
       backward compatibility. The new functionality  added  in  2016.6.6  and  2017.7.0  is  now
       available  using  the  -C  or  --chunked  CLI  arguments. Note that compression, recursive
       copying, and support for copying large files is only available in chunked mode.

   Options
       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

              The location of the Salt  configuration  directory.  This  directory  contains  the
              configuration  files  for  Salt  master  and  minions. The default location on most
              systems is /etc/salt.

       -t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
              The timeout in seconds to wait for replies  from  the  Salt  minions.  The  timeout
              number  specifies  how  long the command line client will wait to query the minions
              and check on running jobs. Default: 5

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
              Console logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/master.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE

       -G, --grain
              The  target  expression  matches  values  returned by the Salt grains system on the
              minions.  The  target  expression  is  in  the  format  of   '<grain   value>:<glob
              expression>'; example: 'os:Arch*'

              This  was  changed  in  version 0.9.8 to accept glob expressions instead of regular
              expression. To use regular expression matching with grains,  use  the  --grain-pcre
              option.

              Use a predefined compound target defined in the Salt master configuration file.

       -R, --range
              Instead  of  using  shell  globs  to evaluate the target, use a range expression to
              identify targets. Range expressions look like %cluster.

              Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up and the  location  of
              the range server is referenced in the master configuration file.

       -C, --chunked
              Use  new  chunked  mode  to  copy  files. This mode supports large files, recursive
              directories copying and compression.

              New in version 2016.11.7,2017.7.2.

       -n, --no-compression
              Disable gzip compression in chunked mode.

              New in version 2016.3.7,2016.11.6,2017.7.0.

   salt-key
   Synopsis
          salt-key [ options ]

   Description
       Salt-key executes simple management of Salt server public keys used for authentication.

       On  initial  connection,  a  Salt minion sends its public key to the Salt master. This key
       must be accepted using the salt-key command on the Salt master.

       Salt minion keys can be in one of the following states:

       • unaccepted: key is waiting to be accepted.

       • accepted: key was accepted and the minion can communicate with the Salt master.

       • rejected: key was rejected using the salt-key command. In this state the minion does not
         receive any communication from the Salt master.

       • denied:  key  was  rejected automatically by the Salt master.  This occurs when a minion
         has a duplicate ID, or when a minion was rebuilt or  had  new  keys  generated  and  the
         previous  key  was  not  deleted from the Salt master. In this state the minion does not
         receive any communication from the Salt master.

       To change the state of a minion key, use -d to delete the key and then  accept  or  reject
       the key.

   Options
       --version
              Print the version of Salt that is running.

       --versions-report
              Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit

       -h, --help
              Show the help message and exit

       -c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
              The  location  of  the  Salt  configuration  directory. This directory contains the
              configuration files for Salt master and  minions.  The  default  location  on  most
              systems is /etc/salt.

       -u USER, --user=USER
              Specify user to run salt-key

       --hard-crash
              Raise any original exception rather than exiting gracefully. Default is False.

       -q, --quiet
              Suppress output

       -y, --yes
              Answer 'Yes' to all questions presented, defaults to False

       --rotate-aes-key=ROTATE_AES_KEY
              Setting this to False prevents the master from refreshing the key session when keys
              are deleted or rejected, this lowers the security  of  the  key  deletion/rejection
              operation. Default is True.

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE

              be any of the available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some  outputters  are formatted only for data returned from specific functions.  If
              an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt  will
              fall  back  on  the  pprint  outputter and display the return data using the Python
              pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values  disable
              indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and
                 yellow denotes a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override the configured state_output  value  for  minion  output.  One  of  'full',
              'terse', 'mixed', 'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override  the  configured  state_verbose  value  for  minion output. Set to True or
              False. Default: none.

   Actions
       -l ARG, --list=ARG
              List  the  public  keys.   The   args   pre,   un,   and   unaccepted   will   list
              unaccepted/unsigned  keys.  acc  or accepted will list accepted/signed keys. rej or
              rejected will list rejected keys.  Finally, all will list all keys.

       -L, --list-all
              List all public keys. (Deprecated: use --list all)

       -a ACCEPT, --accept=ACCEPT

              addition to pending keys). Globs are supported.

       -A, --accept-all
              Accepts all pending keys.

       -r REJECT, --reject=REJECT
              Reject  the  specified  public  key  (use  --include-all  to match accepted keys in
              addition to pending keys). Globs are supported.

   Key Generation Options
       --gen-keys=GEN_KEYS
              Set a name to generate a keypair for use with salt

       --gen-keys-dir=GEN_KEYS_DIR
              Set the directory to save the generated keypair.  Only  works  with  'gen_keys_dir'
              option; default is the current directory.

       --keysize=KEYSIZE
              Set the keysize for the generated key, only works with the '--gen-keys' option, the
              key size must be 2048 or higher, otherwise it will  be  rounded  up  to  2048.  The
              default is 2048.

       --gen-signature
              Create  a  signature file of the master's public-key named master_pubkey_signature.
              The signature can be sent to a minion in the master's auth-reply  and  enables  the
              minion  to  verify  the  master's public-key cryptographically. This requires a new
              signing-key-pair which can be auto-created with the --auto-create parameter.

       --priv=PRIV
              The private-key file to create a signature with

       --signature-path=SIGNATURE_PATH
              The path where the signature file should be written

       --pub=PUB
              The public-key file to create a signature for

       --auto-create
              Auto-create a signing key-pair if it does not yet exist

              Specify the SSH private key file's passphrase if need be.

       -i, --ignore-host-keys
              By  default  ssh  host keys are honored and connections  will ask for approval. Use
              this option to disable StrictHostKeyChecking.

       --no-host-keys
              Fully ignores ssh host keys which by default are honored and connections would  ask
              for approval. Useful if the host key of a remote server has changed and would still

              Set  this  flag  to attempt to deploy the authorized ssh key with all minions. This
              combined with --passwd can make initial deployment of keys very fast and easy.

       --identities-only
              Use the only authentication identity files configured in the ssh_config files.  See
              IdentitiesOnly flag in man ssh_config.

       --sudo Run command via sudo.

   Scan Roster Options
       --scan-ports=SSH_SCAN_PORTS
              Comma-separated list of ports to scan in the scan roster.

       --scan-timeout=SSH_SCAN_TIMEOUT
              Scanning socket timeout for the scan roster.

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
              Console logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

       --log-file=LOG_FILE
              Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/ssh.

       --log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
              Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error,
              quiet. Default: warning.

   Target Selection
       The  default matching that Salt utilizes is shell-style globbing around the minion id. See
       https://docs.python.org/3/library/fnmatch.html#module-fnmatch.

       -E, --pcre
              The target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression rather  than
              a shell glob.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass  in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can
              be any of the available outputters:
                 highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml, and many others.

              Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific  functions.   If
              an  outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt will
              fall back on the pprint outputter and display the  return  data  using  the  Python
              pprint standard library module.

       --out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
              Print  the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable
              indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.

       --out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
              Write the output to the specified file.

       --out-file-append, --output-file-append
              Append the output to the specified file.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output

              NOTE:
                 When using colored output the color codes are as follows:

                 green denotes success, red denotes failure, blue denotes changes and success and
                 yellow denotes a expected future change in configuration.

       --state-output=STATE_OUTPUT, --state_output=STATE_OUTPUT
              Override  the  configured  state_output  value  for  minion  output. One of 'full',
              'terse', 'mixed', 'changes' or 'filter'. Default: 'none'.

       --state-verbose=STATE_VERBOSE, --state_verbose=STATE_VERBOSE
              Override the configured state_verbose value for  minion  output.  Set  to  True  or
              False. Default: none.

       NOTE:
          If  using  --out=json,  you  will  probably  want --static as well.  Without the static
          option, you will get a separate JSON string per minion which makes JSON output  invalid
          as  a whole.  This is due to using an iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it to
          a JSON parser, use --static as well.

   spm
   spm
       Salt Package Manager

   Synopsis
          spm <command> [<argument>]

   Description
       spm  is  the  frontend  command for managing Salt packages. Packages normally only include
       formulas, meaning a group of SLS files that  install  into  the  file_roots  on  the  Salt
       Master, but Salt modules can also be installed.

   Options
       -y, --assume-yes

              particular command. Default is False.

       -f, --force
              When presented with a course of action that spm would normally refuse  to  perform,
              that action will be performed anyway. This is often destructive, and should be used
              with caution.

   Logging Options
       Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.

       -l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL

   salt.auth.auto
       An "Always Approved" eauth interface to test against, not intended for production use

       salt.auth.auto.auth(username, password)
              Authenticate!

   salt.auth.django
       Provide authentication using Django Web Framework

       depends

              • Django Web Framework

       Django  authentication  depends on the presence of the django framework in the PYTHONPATH,
       the Django project's settings.py file being in  the  PYTHONPATH  and  accessible  via  the
       DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.

       Django auth can be defined like any other eauth module:

          external_auth:
            django:
              fred:
                - .*
                - '@runner'

       This  will  authenticate Fred via Django and allow him to run any execution module and all
       runners.

       The authorization details can optionally be  located  inside  the  Django  database.   The
       relevant entry in the models.py file would look like this:

          class SaltExternalAuthModel(models.Model):
              user_fk = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
              minion_or_fn_matcher = models.CharField(max_length=255)
              minion_fn = models.CharField(max_length=255)

       The external_auth clause in the master config would then look like this:

          external_auth:
            django:
              ^model: <fully-qualified reference to model class>

       When  a  user  attempts to authenticate via Django, Salt will import the package indicated
       via the keyword ^model.  That model must have the fields indicated above, though the model
       DOES NOT have to be named 'SaltExternalAuthModel'.

       salt.auth.django.acl(username)

              Parameters
                     username -- Username to filter for

              Returns
                     Dictionary  that  can  be slotted into the __opts__ structure for eauth that
                     designates the user associated ACL

              Should result in an eauth config such as:

                 fred:
                   - test.ping
                   - server1:
                       - network.interfaces
                       - raid.list
                   - server2:
                       - .*
                 guru:
                   - .*
                 smartadmin:
                   - server1:
                     - .*

       salt.auth.django.auth(username, password)
              Simple Django auth

       salt.auth.django.is_connection_usable()

   salt.auth.file
       Provide authentication using local files

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       The file auth module allows simple authentication via local files. Different filetypes are
       supported, including:

          1. Text files, with passwords in plaintext or hashed

          2. Apache-style htpasswd files

          3. Apache-style htdigest files

       NOTE:
          The python-passlib library is required when using a ^filetype of htpasswd or htdigest.

       The simplest example is a plaintext file with usernames and passwords:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /etc/insecure-user-list.txt
              gene:
                - .*
              dean:
                - test.*

       In this example the /etc/insecure-user-list.txt file would be formatted as so:

          dean:goneFishing
          gene:OceanMan

       ^filename  is  the  only  required parameter. Any parameter that begins with a ^ is passed
       directly to the underlying file authentication function via kwargs,  with  the  leading  ^
       being stripped.

       The text file option is configurable to work with legacy formats:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /etc/legacy_users.txt
              ^filetype: text
              ^hashtype: md5
              ^username_field: 2
              ^password_field: 3
              ^field_separator: '|'
              trey:
                - .*

       This would authenticate users against a file of the following format:

          46|trey|16a0034f90b06bf3c5982ed8ac41aab4

       NOTE:
          The  hashutil.digest  execution function is used for comparing hashed passwords, so any
          algorithm supported by that function will work.

       There is also support for Apache-style htpasswd and htdigest files:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /var/www/html/.htusers
              ^filetype: htpasswd
              cory:
                - .*

       When using htdigest the ^realm must be set:

          external_auth:
            file:
              ^filename: /var/www/html/.htdigest
              ^filetype: htdigest
              ^realm: MySecureRealm
              cory:
                - .*

       salt.auth.file.auth(username, password)
              File based authentication

              ^filename
                     The path to the file to use for authentication.

              ^filetype
                     The type of file: text, htpasswd, htdigest.

                     Default: text

              ^realm The realm required by htdigest authentication.

              NOTE:
                 The following parameters are only used with the text filetype.

              ^hashtype
                     The digest format of the password. Can be plaintext or any digest  available
                     via hashutil.digest.

                     Default: plaintext

              ^field_separator
                     The character to use as a delimiter between fields in a text file.

                     Default: :

              ^username_field
                     The  numbered  field  in  the  text  file  that  contains the username, with
                     numbering beginning at 1 (one).

                     Default: 1

              ^password_field
                     The numbered field in  the  text  file  that  contains  the  password,  with
                     numbering beginning at 1 (one).

                     Default: 2

   salt.auth.keystone
       Provide authentication using OpenStack Keystone

       depends

              • keystoneclient Python module

       salt.auth.keystone.auth(username, password)
              Try and authenticate

       salt.auth.keystone.get_auth_url()
              Try and get the URL from the config, else return localhost

   salt.auth.ldap
       Provide authentication using simple LDAP binds

       depends

              • ldap Python module

       salt.auth.ldap.auth(username, password)
              Simple LDAP auth

       salt.auth.ldap.groups(username, **kwargs)
              Authenticate against an LDAP group

              Behavior is highly dependent on if Active Directory is in use.

              AD  handles  group  membership  very  differently  than OpenLDAP.  See the External
              Authentication documentation for a thorough discussion of available parameters  for
              customizing the search.

              OpenLDAP  allows  you to search for all groups in the directory and returns members
              of those groups.  Then we check against the username entered.

       salt.auth.ldap.process_acl(auth_list, opts=None)
              Query LDAP, retrieve list of minion_ids from an  OU  or  other  search.   For  each
              minion_id  returned  from  the  LDAP  search, copy the perms matchers into the auth
              dictionary :param auth_list:  :param  opts:  __opts__  for  when  __opts__  is  not
              injected :return: Modified auth list.

   salt.auth.mysql
       Provide authentication using MySQL.

       When  using MySQL as an authentication backend, you will need to create or use an existing
       table that has a username and a password column.

       To get started, create a simple table that holds just  a  username  and  a  password.  The
       password field will hold a SHA256 checksum.

          CREATE TABLE `users` (
            `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
            `username` varchar(25) DEFAULT NULL,
            `password` varchar(70) DEFAULT NULL,
            PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
          ) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=2 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

       To create a user within MySQL, execute the following statement.

          INSERT INTO users VALUES (NULL, 'diana', SHA2('secret', 256))

          mysql_auth:
            hostname: localhost
            database: SaltStack
            username: root
            password: letmein
            auth_sql: 'SELECT username FROM users WHERE username = "{0}" AND password = SHA2("{1}", 256)'

       The  auth_sql  contains  the  SQL  that  will validate a user to ensure they are correctly
       authenticated. This is where you can specify other SQL queries to authenticate users.

       Enable MySQL authentication.

          external_auth:
            mysql:
              damian:
                - test.*

       depends

              • MySQL-python Python module

       salt.auth.mysql.auth(username, password)
              Authenticate using a MySQL user table

   salt.auth.pam
       Authenticate against PAM

       Provides an authenticate function that will  allow  the  caller  to  authenticate  a  user
       against the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) on the system.

       Implemented using ctypes, so no compilation is necessary.

       There  is  one  extra configuration option for pam.  The pam_service that is authenticated
       against.  This defaults to login

          auth.pam.service: login

       NOTE:
          Solaris-like (SmartOS, OmniOS, ...) systems may need auth.pam.service set to other.

       NOTE:
          PAM authentication will not work for the root user.

          The Python interface to PAM does not support authenticating as root.

       NOTE:
          Using PAM groups with SSSD groups on python2.

          To use sssd with the PAM eauth module and  groups  the  pysss  module  is  needed.   On
          RedHat/CentOS this is python-sss.

          This  should  not  be  needed  with  python  >=  3.3,  because  the  os modules has the
          getgrouplist function.

              Authenticate via pam

       salt.auth.pam.authenticate(username, password)
              Returns True if the given username and password authenticate for the given service.
              Returns False otherwise

              username: the username to authenticate

              password: the password in plain text

       salt.auth.pam.groups(username, *args, **kwargs)
              Retrieve groups for a given user for this auth provider

              Uses system groups

   salt.auth.pki
       Authenticate via a PKI certificate.

       NOTE:
          This module is Experimental and should be used with caution

       Provides  an  authenticate  function that will allow the caller to authenticate a user via
       their public cert against a pre-defined Certificate Authority.

       TODO: Add a 'ca_dir' option to configure a directory of CA files, a la Apache.

       depends

              • pyOpenSSL module

       salt.auth.pki.auth(username, password, **kwargs)
              Returns True if the given user cert (password is the cert contents) was  issued  by
              the CA and if cert's Common Name is equal to username.

              Returns False otherwise.

              username: we need it to run the auth function from CLI/API;
                     it should be in master config auth/acl

              password: contents of user certificate (pem-encoded user public key);
                     why "password"? For CLI, it's the only available name

              Configure the CA cert in the master config file:

                 external_auth:
                   pki:
                     ca_file: /etc/pki/tls/ca_certs/trusted-ca.crt
                     your_user:
                       - .*

   salt.auth.rest
       Provide authentication using a REST call

       REST auth can be defined like any other eauth module:

          external_auth:
            rest:
              ^url: https://url/for/rest/call
              fred:
                - .*
                - '@runner'

       If  there  are  entries  underneath the ^url entry then they are merged with any responses
       from the REST call.  In the above example, assuming the REST  call  does  not  return  any
       additional  ACLs,  this  will  authenticate  Fred via a REST call and allow him to run any
       execution module and all runners.

       The REST call should return a JSON object that maps to a regular eauth YAML  structure  as
       above.

       salt.auth.rest.auth(username, password)
              REST authentication

       salt.auth.rest.rest_auth_setup()

   salt.auth.sharedsecret
       Provide authentication using configured shared secret

          external_auth:
            sharedsecret:
              fred:
                - .*
                - '@jobs'

       The   shared  secret  should  be  added  to  the  master  configuration,  for  example  in
       /etc/salt/master.d/sharedsecret.conf (make sure that file is only  readable  by  the  user
       running the master):

          sharedsecret: OIUHF_CHANGE_THIS_12h88

       This  auth  module  should  be used with caution. It was initially designed to work with a
       frontal that takes care of authentication (for example kerberos)  and  places  the  shared
       secret  in the HTTP headers to the salt-api call. This salt-api call should really be done
       on localhost to avoid someone eavesdropping on the shared secret.

       See the documentation for cherrypy to setup the headers in your frontal.

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       salt.auth.sharedsecret.auth(username, password)
              Shared secret authentication

   salt.auth.yubico
       Provide authentication using YubiKey.

       New in version 2015.5.0.

       depends
              yubico-client Python module

       To get your YubiKey API key you will need to visit the website below.

       https://upgrade.yubico.com/getapikey/

       The resulting page will show the generated Client ID  (aka  AuthID  or  API  ID)  and  the
       generated  API  key  (Secret  Key).  Make  a note of both and use these two values in your
       /etc/salt/master configuration.
          /etc/salt/master

              yubico_users:
                damian:
                  id: 12345
                  key: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

              external_auth:

                  damian:
                    - test.*

       Please wait five to ten minutes after generating the key before testing so  that  the  API
       key will be updated on all the YubiCloud servers.

       salt.auth.yubico.auth(username, password)

   salt.beacons.avahi_announce
       Beacon to announce via avahi (zeroconf)

       New in version 2016.11.0.

   Dependencies
       • python-avahi

       • dbus-python

       salt.beacons.avahi_announce.beacon(config)
              Broadcast values via zeroconf

              If  the  announced  values  are static, it is advised to set run_once: True (do not
              poll) on the beacon configuration.

              The following are required configuration settings:

              • servicetype - The service type to announce

              • port - The port of the service to announce

              • txt - The TXT record of the service being announced as a dict. Grains can be used
                to define TXT values using one of following two formats:

                • grains.<grain_name>grains.<grain_name>[i]  where  i  is  an  integer representing the index of the
                  grain to use. If the grain is not a list, the index is ignored.

              The following are optional configuration settings:

              • servicename - Set the name of  the  service.  Will  use  the  hostname  from  the
                minion's host grain if this value is not set.

              • reset_on_change  - If True and there is a change in TXT records detected, it will
                stop announcing the  service  and  then  restart  announcing  the  service.  This
                interruption  in  service  announcement  may be desirable if the client relies on
                changes in the browse records to update its cache of  TXT  records.  Defaults  to
                False.

              • reset_wait  -  The  number of seconds to wait after announcement stops announcing
                and before it restarts announcing in the case where there  is  a  change  in  TXT
                records detected and reset_on_change is True.  Defaults to 0.

              • copy_grains  -  If True, Salt will copy the grains passed into the beacon when it
                backs them up to check for changes on the next iteration.  Normally,  instead  of
                copy,  it  would  use  straight  value  assignment.  This will allow detection of
                changes to grains where the grains are modified in-place  instead  of  completely
                replaced.   In-place  grains changes are not currently done in the main Salt code
                but may be done due to a custom plug-in. Defaults to False.

              Broadcast values via zeroconf

              If the announced values are static, it is advised to set  run_once:  True  (do  not
              poll) on the beacon configuration.

   Use Case: Posting Failed Login Events to Slack
       This can be done using the following reactor SLS:

          report-wtmp:
            runner.salt.cmd:
              - args:
                - fun: slack.post_message
                - channel: mychannel      # Slack channel
                - from_name: someuser     # Slack user
                - message: "Failed login from `{{ data.get('user', '') or 'unknown user' }}` on `{{ data['id'] }}`"

       Match the event like so in the master config file:

          reactor:

            - 'salt/beacon/*/btmp/':
              - salt://reactor/btmp.sls

       NOTE:
          This  approach  uses  the  slack execution module directly on the master, and therefore
          requires that the master has a slack API key in its configuration:

              slack:
                api_key: xoxb-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

          See the slack execution module documentation for more information. While you can use an
          individual  user's  API  key  to  post to Slack, a bot user is likely better suited for
          this. The slack engine documentation has information on how to set up a bot user.

                     - '^[a-zA-Z]:\\$': 50%

              The first one will match all mounted disks beginning with  "/",  except  /home  The
              second one will match disks from A:to Z:on a Windows system

              Note  that  if  a regular expression are evaluated after static mount points, which
              means that if a regular expression matches another defined  mount  point,  it  will
              override the previously defined threshold.

              • pyinotify Python module >= 0.9.5

       Caution
              Using generic mask options like open,  access,  ignored,  and  closed_nowrite  with
              reactors can easily cause the reactor to loop on itself. To mitigate this behavior,
              consider  setting  the  disable_during_state_run  flag  to  True  in   the   beacon

                                 regex: True
                     - coalesce: True

              The mask list can contain the following events (the default mask is create, delete,
              and modify):

              • access            - File accessed

              • attrib            - File metadata changed

              • close_nowrite     - Unwritable file closed

              • close_write       - Writable file closed

              • create            - File created in watched directory

              • delete            - File deleted from watched directory

              • delete_self       - Watched file or directory deleted

              • moved_from        - File moved out of watched directory

              • moved_to          - File moved into watched directory

              • move_self         - Watched file moved

              • open              - File opened

              The mask can also contain the following options:

              • dont_follow       - Don't dereference symbolic links

              • excl_unlink       - Omit events for children after they have been unlinked

              • oneshot           - Remove watch after one event

              • onlydir           - Operate only if name is directory

              recurse:
                     Recursively watch files in the directory

              auto_add:
                     Automatically start watching files that are created in the watched directory

              exclude:
                     Exclude  directories  or  files  from  triggering  events  in  the   watched
                     directory.  Can use regex if regex is set to True

              coalesce:
                     If  this  coalescing  option  is enabled, events are filtered based on their
                     unicity, only unique events are enqueued, doublons are discarded.  An  event
                     is  unique  when  the  combination of its fields (wd, mask, cookie, name) is
                     unique among events of a same batch. After a batch of  events  is  processed
                     any  events are accepted again.  This option is top-level (at the same level
                     as the path) and therefore affects all paths that are being watched. This is
                     due to this option being at the Notifier level in pyinotify.

   salt.beacons.napalm_beacon
   Watch NAPALM functions and fire events on specific triggers
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       NOTE:
          The NAPALM beacon only works only when running  under  a  regular  Minion  or  a  Proxy
          Minion, managed via NAPALM.  Check the documentation for the NAPALM proxy module.

       The  configuration  accepts  a list of Salt functions to be invoked, and the corresponding
       output hierarchy that should be  matched  against.  To  invoke  a  function  with  certain
       arguments,  they  can  be  specified  using  the  _args  key, or _kwargs for more specific
       key-value arguments.

       The match structure follows the output hierarchy of the NAPALM functions,  under  the  out
       key.

       For  example,  the  following  is  normal  structure  returned  by the ntp.stats execution
       function:

          {
              "comment": "",
              "result": true,
              "out": [
                  {
                      "referenceid": ".GPSs.",
                      "remote": "172.17.17.1",
                      "synchronized": true,
                      "reachability": 377,
                      "offset": 0.461,
                      "when": "860",
                      "delay": 143.606,
                      "hostpoll": 1024,
                      "stratum": 1,
                      "jitter": 0.027,
                      "type": "-"
                  },
                  {
                      "referenceid": ".INIT.",
                      "remote": "172.17.17.2",
                      "synchronized": false,
                      "reachability": 0,
                      "offset": 0.0,
                      "when": "-",
                      "delay": 0.0,
                      "hostpoll": 1024,
                      "stratum": 16,
                      "jitter": 4000.0,
                      "type": "-"
                  }
              ]
          }

       In order to fire events when the synchronization is lost with one of the NTP peers,  e.g.,
       172.17.17.2, we can match it explicitly as:

          ntp.stats:
            remote: 172.17.17.2
            synchronized: false

       There  is  one  single  nesting  level,  as  the  output  of  ntp.stats  is just a list of
       dictionaries, and this beacon  will  compare  each  dictionary  from  the  list  with  the
       structure examplified above.

       NOTE:
          When  we  want  to match on any element at a certain level, we can configure * to match
          anything.

       Considering a more complex structure consisting  on  multiple  nested  levels,  e.g.,  the
       output of the bgp.neighbors execution function, to check when any neighbor from the global
       routing table is down, the match structure would have the format:

          bgp.neighbors:
            global:
              '*':
                up: false

       The match structure above will match any BGP neighbor, with any network (* matches any  AS
       number), under the global VRF.  In other words, this beacon will push an event on the Salt
       bus when there's a BGP neighbor down.

       The right operand can also accept mathematical operations (i.e., <, <=, !=,  >,  >=  etc.)
       when comparing numerical values.

       Configuration Example:

          beacons:
            napalm:
              - net.interfaces:
                  # fire events when any interfaces is down
                  '*':
                    is_up: false
              - net.interfaces:
                  # fire events only when the xe-0/0/0 interface is down
                  'xe-0/0/0':
                    is_up: false
              - ntp.stats:
                  # fire when there's any NTP peer unsynchornized
                  synchronized: false
              - ntp.stats:
                  # fire only when the synchronization
                  # with with the 172.17.17.2 NTP server is lost
                  _args:
                    - 172.17.17.2
                  synchronized: false
              - ntp.stats:
                  # fire only when there's a NTP peer with
                  # synchronization stratum > 5
                  stratum: '> 5'

   salt.beacons.network_settings
       Beacon to monitor network adapter setting changes on Linux

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       class salt.beacons.network_settings.Hashabledict
              Helper class that implements a hash function for a dictionary

       salt.beacons.network_settings.beacon(config)
              Watch for changes on network settings

              By  default,  the  beacon  will  emit  when  there  is a value change on one of the
              settings on watch. The config also support the onvalue parameter for each  setting,
              which instruct the beacon to only emit if the setting changed to the value defined.

              Example Config

                 beacons:
                   network_settings:
                     - interfaces:
                         eth0:
                           ipaddr:
                           promiscuity:
                             onvalue: 1
                         eth1:
                           linkmode:

              The  config above will check for value changes on eth0 ipaddr and eth1 linkmode. It
              will also emit if the promiscuity value changes to 1.

              Beacon items can use  the  *  wildcard  to  make  a  definition  apply  to  several
              interfaces. For example an eth* would apply to all ethernet interfaces.

              Setting  the  argument  coalesce  =  True  will combine all the beacon results on a
              single event.  The example below shows how to trigger coalesced results:

                 beacons:
                   network_settings:
                     - coalesce: True
                     - interfaces:
                         eth0:
                           ipaddr:
                           promiscuity:

   salt.beacons.salt_monitor
       A beacon to execute salt execution module functions. This beacon will  fire  only  if  the
       return  data is "truthy".  The function return, function name and args and/or kwargs, will
       be passed as data in the event.

       The configuration can accept a list of salt functions to  execute  every  interval.   Make
       sure  to allot enough time via 'interval' key to allow all salt functions to execute.  The
       salt functions will be executed sequentially.

       The elements in list of functions can be either a simple string (with no arguments)  or  a
       dictionary  with a single key being the salt execution module and sub keys indicating args
       and / or kwargs.

       See example config below.

          beacons:
            salt_monitor:
              - salt_fun:

   salt.beacons.service
       Send events covering service status

       salt.beacons.service.beacon(config)
              Scan for the configured services and fire events

              Example Config

                 beacons:
                   service:
                     - services:
                         salt-master: {}
                         mysql: {}

              The config above sets up beacons to check for the salt-master and mysql services.

              The config also supports two other parameters for each service:

              onchangeonly:  when  onchangeonly is True the beacon will fire events only when the
              service status changes.  Otherwise, it will fire an event at each beacon  interval.
              The default is False.

              delay:  when  delay  is  greater  than 0 the beacon will fire events only after the
              service status changes, and the delay (in seconds)  has  passed.   Applicable  only
              when onchangeonly is True.  The default is 0.

              emitatstartup:  when emitatstartup is False the beacon will not fire event when the
              minion is reload. Applicable only when onchangeonly is True.  The default is True.

              uncleanshutdown: If uncleanshutdown is present it should point to the location of a
              pid  file  for  the service.  Most services will not clean up this pid file if they
              are shutdown uncleanly (e.g. via kill -9) or if they are terminated through a crash
              such  as  a  segmentation  fault.  If the file is present, then the beacon will add
              uncleanshutdown: True to the event.  If not present, the field will be False.   The
              field  is  only  added  when the service is NOT running. Omitting the configuration
              variable altogether will turn this feature off.

              Please note that some init systems can remove the pid file if the service registers
              as  crashed.  One such example is nginx on CentOS 7, where the service unit removes
              the pid file when the service shuts down (IE: the pid file is observed  as  removed
              when  kill  -9  is  sent to the nginx master process). The 'uncleanshutdown' option
              might not be of much use there, unless the unit file is modified.

              Here is an example that will fire an event 30 seconds  after  the  state  of  nginx
              changes  and  report  an  uncleanshutdown.   This example is for Arch, which places
              nginx's pid file in /run.

                 beacons:
                   service:
                     - services:
                         nginx:
                           onchangeonly: True
                           delay: 30
                           uncleanshutdown: /run/nginx.pid

   salt.beacons.status
       The status beacon is intended to send a basic health check event up to  the  master,  this
       allows for event driven routines based on presence to be set up.

       The  intention  of this beacon is to add the config options to add monitoring stats to the
       health beacon making it a one stop shop for gathering systems health and status data

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       To configure this beacon to use the defaults, set up an empty dict for it  in  the  minion
       config:

          beacons:
            status: []

       By  default,  all of the information from the following execution module functions will be
       returned:

          • loadavg

          • cpustats

          • meminfo

          • vmstats

          • time

       You can also configure your own set of functions to be returned:

          beacons:
            status:
              - time:
                - all
              - loadavg:
                - all

       You may also configure only certain  fields  from  each  function  to  be  returned.   For
       instance, the loadavg function returns the following fields:

          • 1-min

          • 5-min

          • 15-min

       If  you  wanted  to  return  only  the  1-min  and 5-min fields for loadavg then you would
       configure:

          beacons:
            status:
              - loadavg:
                - 1-min
                - 5-min

       Other functions only return a single value instead of a dictionary. With  these,  you  may
       specify all or 0. The following are both valid:

          beacons:
            status:
              - time:
                - all

          beacons:
            status:
              - time:
                - 0

       If  a  status  function  returns  a  list,  you may return the index marker or markers for
       specific list items:

          beacons:
            status:
              - w:
                - 0
                - 1
                - 2

   How to Tell What An Event Means
       In the events that this beacon fires, a type of 7 denotes a  login,  while  a  type  of  8
       denotes a logout. These values correspond to the ut_type value from a wtmp/utmp event (see
       the wtmp manpage for more information).  In the extremely unlikely case that your platform
       uses  different  values,  they  can  be  overridden  using  a  ut_type  key  in the beacon
       configuration:

          beacons:
            wtmp:
              - ut_type:
                  login: 9
                  logout: 10

       This beacon's events include an action key which will be either login or logout  depending
       on the event type.

       Changed  in  version  2019.2.0:  action  key  added  to  beacon  event, and ut_type config
       parameter added.

   Use Case: Posting Login/Logout Events to Slack
       This can be done using the following reactor SLS:

          report-wtmp:
            runner.salt.cmd:
              - args:
                - fun: slack.post_message
                - channel: mychannel      # Slack channel
                - from_name: someuser     # Slack user
                - message: "{{ data.get('action', 'Unknown event') | capitalize }} from `{{ data.get('user', '') or 'unknown user' }}` on `{{ data['id'] }}`"

       Match the event like so in the master config file:

          reactor:

            - 'salt/beacon/*/wtmp/':
              - salt://reactor/wtmp.sls

       NOTE:
          This approach uses the slack execution module directly on  the  master,  and  therefore
          requires that the master has a slack API key in its configuration:

              slack:
                api_key: xoxb-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

          See the slack execution module documentation for more information. While you can use an
          individual user's API key to post to Slack, a bot user  is  likely  better  suited  for
          this. The slack engine documentation has information on how to set up a bot user.

       New in version 2016.11.2.

       depends
              python-consul >= 0.2.0

       It is up to the system administrator to set up and configure  the  Consul  infrastructure.
       All  is  needed  for this plugin is a working Consul agent with a read-write access to the
       key-value store.

       The related documentation can be found in the Consul documentation.

       To enable this cache plugin, the master will need the python client for Consul  installed.
       This can be easily installed with pip:

          pip install python-consul

       Optionally, depending on the Consul agent configuration, the following values could be set
       in the master config. These are the defaults:

          consul.host: 127.0.0.1

   salt.cache.mysql_cache
       Minion data cache plugin for MySQL database.

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       It is up to the system administrator to set up and configure the MySQL infrastructure. All
       is needed for this plugin is a working MySQL server.

       The module requires the salt_cache database to exists but creates its own table if needed.
       The keys are indexed using the bank and etcd_key columns.

       To  enable  this cache plugin, the master will need the python client for MySQL installed.
       This can be easily installed with pip:

          pip install python-mysql

       Optionally, depending on the MySQL agent configuration, the following values could be  set
       in the master config. These are the defaults:

          mysql.host: 127.0.0.1
          mysql.port: 2379

       salt.cache.mysql_cache.store(bank, key, data)
              Store a key value.

   salt.cache.redis_cache
   Redis
       Redis plugin for the Salt caching subsystem.

       New in version 2017.7.0.

       As Redis provides a simple mechanism for very fast key-value store, in  order  to  provide
       the necessary features for the Salt caching subsystem, the following conventions are used:

       • A  Redis  key  consists  of  the  bank  name  and  the  cache  key separated by /, e.g.:
         $KEY_minions/alpha/stuff where minions/alpha is the bank name and stuff is the key name.

       • As the caching subsystem is organised as a tree, we need to store the caching  path  and
         identify  the  bank and its offspring.  At the same time, Redis is linear and we need to
         avoid doing keys <pattern> which is very inefficient as it goes through all the keys  on
         the  remote Redis server.  Instead, each bank hierarchy has a Redis SET associated which
         stores the list of sub-banks. By default, these keys begin with $BANK_.

       • In addition, each key name is stored in a separate SET of all the keys within a bank. By
         default, these SETs begin with $BANKEYS_.

       For  example,  to  store  the  key my-key under the bank root-bank/sub-bank/leaf-bank, the
       following hierarchy will be built:

          127.0.0.1:6379> SMEMBERS $BANK_root-bank
          1) "sub-bank"
          127.0.0.1:6379> SMEMBERS $BANK_root-bank/sub-bank
          1) "leaf-bank"
          127.0.0.1:6379> SMEMBERS $BANKEYS_root-bank/sub-bank/leaf-bank
          1) "my-key"
          127.0.0.1:6379> GET $KEY_root-bank/sub-bank/leaf-bank/my-key
          "my-value"

       There are three types of keys stored:

       • $BANK_* is a Redis SET containing the list of banks under the current bank

       • $BANKEYS_* is a Redis SET containing the list of keys under the current bank

       • $KEY_* keeps the value of the key

       These prefixes and the separator can be adjusted using the configuration options:

       bank_prefix: $BANK
              The prefix used for the name of the Redis key storing the list of sub-banks.

       bank_keys_prefix: $BANKEYS
              The prefix used for the name of the Redis keyt storing the list  of  keys  under  a
              certain bank.

       key_prefix: $KEY
              The  prefix  of  the  Redis  keys having the value of the keys to be cached under a
              certain bank.

       separator: _
              The separator between the prefix and the key body.

       The connection details can be specified using:

       host: localhost
              The hostname of the Redis server.

       port: 6379
              The Redis server port.

       cluster_mode: False
              Whether cluster_mode is enabled or not

       cluster.startup_nodes:
              A list of host, port dictionaries pointing to cluster  members.  At  least  one  is
              required but multiple nodes are better

                 cache.redis.cluster.startup_nodes
                   - host: redis-member-1
                     port: 6379
                   - host: redis-member-2
                     port: 6379

       cluster.skip_full_coverage_check: False
              Some  cluster providers restrict certain redis commands such as CONFIG for enhanced
              security.   Set  this  option  to  true  to  skip  checks  that  required  advanced
              privileges.

              NOTE:
                 Most cloud hosted redis clusters will require this to be set to True

       db: '0'
              The database index.

              NOTE:
                 The database index must be specified as string not as integer value!

              Redis connection password.

       unix_socket_path:
          New in version 2018.3.1.

          Path to a UNIX socket for access. Overrides host / port.

       Configuration Example:

          cache.redis.host: localhost
          cache.redis.port: 6379
          cache.redis.db: '0'
          cache.redis.password: my pass
          cache.redis.bank_prefix: #BANK
          cache.redis.bank_keys_prefix: #BANKEYS
          cache.redis.key_prefix: #KEY
          cache.redis.separator: '@'

       Cluster Configuration Example:

          cache.redis.cluster_mode: true
          cache.redis.cluster.skip_full_coverage_check: true
          cache.redis.cluster.startup_nodes:
            - host: redis-member-1
              port: 6379
            - host: redis-member-2
              port: 6379
          cache.redis.db: '0'
          cache.redis.password: my pass
          cache.redis.bank_prefix: #BANK
          cache.redis.bank_keys_prefix: #BANKEYS
          cache.redis.key_prefix: #KEY
          cache.redis.separator: '@'

       salt.cache.redis_cache.contains(bank, key)
              Checks if the specified bank contains the specified key.

       salt.cache.redis_cache.fetch(bank, key)
              Fetch data from the Redis cache.

       salt.cache.redis_cache.flush(bank, key=None)
              Remove  the  key  from  the  cache  bank  with  all  the  key content. If no key is
              specified, remove the entire  bank  with  all  keys  and  sub-banks  inside.   This
              function  is  using  the  Redis  pipelining  for  best  performance.  However, when
              removing a whole bank, in order to re-create  the  tree,  there  are  a  couple  of
              requests made. In total:

              • one for node in the hierarchy sub-tree, starting from the bank node

              • one pipelined request to get the keys under all banks in the sub-tree

              • one pipeline request to remove the corresponding keys

              This is not quite optimal, as if we need to flush a bank having a very long list of
              sub-banks, the number of requests to build the sub-tree may grow quite big.

              An improvement for this would be loading a custom Lua script in the Redis  instance
              of  the  user  (using  the  register_script feature) and call it whenever we flush.
              This script would only need to build this sub-tree  causing  problems.  It  can  be
              added  later  and  the  behaviour should not change as the user needs to explicitly
              allow Salt inject scripts in their Redis instance.

       salt.cache.redis_cache.init_kwargs(kwargs)

       salt.cache.redis_cache.list_(bank)
              Lists entries stored in the specified bank.

       salt.cache.redis_cache.store(bank, key, data)
              Store the data in a Redis key.

   salt.cloud.clouds.azurearm
   Azure ARM Cloud Module
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       Changed in version 2019.2.0.

       The Azure ARM cloud module is used to control access to Microsoft Azure Resource Manager

       dependsazure >= 2.0.0rc6

              • azure-common >= 1.1.4

              • azure-mgmt >= 0.30.0rc6

              • azure-mgmt-compute >= 0.33.0

              • azure-mgmt-network >= 0.30.0rc6

              • azure-mgmt-resource >= 0.30.0

              • azure-mgmt-storage >= 0.30.0rc6

              • azure-mgmt-web >= 0.30.0rc6

              • azure-storage >= 0.32.0

              • msrestazure >= 0.4.21

       configuration
              Required provider parameters:

              if using username and password:subscription_idusernamepassword

              if using a service principal:subscription_idtenantclient_idsecret

              if using Managed Service Identity authentication:subscription_id

              Optional provider parameters:

              cloud_environment: Used to point the cloud driver to different API endpoints,  such
              as Azure GovCloud. Possible values:

                     • AZURE_PUBLIC_CLOUD (default)

                     • AZURE_CHINA_CLOUDAZURE_US_GOV_CLOUDAZURE_GERMAN_CLOUD

                     • HTTP   base   URL  for  a  custom  endpoint,  such  as  Azure  Stack.  The
                       /metadata/endpoints path will be added to the URL.

              userdata and userdata_file:
                     Azure Resource Manager uses a  separate  VirtualMachineExtension  object  to
                     pass  userdata  scripts to the virtual machine. Arbitrary shell commands can
                     be passed via the userdata parameter, or via a file local to the Salt  Cloud
                     system  using  the  userdata_file parameter. Note that the local file is not
                     treated as a script by the extension, so "one-liners" probably work best. If
                     greater  functionality is desired, a web-hosted script file can be specified
                     via                                                           userdata_file:
                     https://raw.githubusercontent.com/account/repo/master/azure-script.py, which
                     will be executed on the system  after  VM  creation.  For  Windows  systems,
                     script  files  ending  in  .ps1  will  be  executed with powershell.exe. The
                     userdata parameter takes precedence over the  userdata_file  parameter  when
                     creating the custom script extension.

              win_installer:
                     This  parameter,  which  holds  the  local path to the Salt Minion installer
                     package, is used to determine if the virtual machine type will be "Windows".
                     Only set this parameter on profiles which install Windows operating systems.

       Example /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/azure.conf configuration:

          my-azure-config with username and password:
            driver: azurearm
            subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
            username: larry
            password: 123pass

          Or my-azure-config with service principal:
            driver: azurearm
            subscription_id: 3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617
            tenant: ABCDEFAB-1234-ABCD-1234-ABCDEFABCDEF
            client_id: ABCDEFAB-1234-ABCD-1234-ABCDEFABCDEF
            secret: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
            cloud_environment: AZURE_US_GOV_CLOUD

            The Service Principal can be created with the new Azure CLI (https://github.com/Azure/azure-cli) with:
            az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "http://<yourappname>" --role <role> --scopes <scope>
            For example, this creates a service principal with 'owner' role for the whole subscription:
            az ad sp create-for-rbac -n "http://mysaltapp" --role owner --scopes /subscriptions/3287abc8-f98a-c678-3bde-326766fd3617

            *Note: review the details of Service Principals. Owner role is more than you normally need, and you can restrict
            scope to a resource group or individual resources.

   CenturyLink Cloud Module
       New in version 2018.3.

       The CLC cloud module allows you to manage CLC Via the CLC SDK.

       codeauthor
              Stephan Looney <slooney@stephanlooney.com>

   Dependencies
       • clc-sdk Python Module

       • flask

   CLC SDK
       clc-sdk can be installed via pip:

          pip install clc-sdk

       NOTE:
          For sdk reference see: https://github.com/CenturyLinkCloud/clc-python-sdk

   Flask
       flask can be installed via pip:

          pip install flask

   Configuration
       To use this module: set up the clc-sdk, user, password, key in the cloud configuration  at
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/clc.conf:

          my-clc-config:
            driver: clc
            user: 'web-user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            token: ''
            token_pass:''
            accountalias: 'ACT'

       NOTE:
          The  provider  parameter  in  cloud provider configuration was renamed to driver.  This
          change was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is  used  in  cloud
          profile  configuration.  Cloud  provider  configuration now uses driver to refer to the
          salt-cloud driver that provides the underlying functionality  to  connect  to  a  cloud
          provider,  while  cloud profile configuration continues to use provider to refer to the
          cloud provider configuration that you define.

       salt.cloud.clouds.libvirt.destroy(name, call=None)
              This  function  irreversibly  destroys  a  virtual  machine  on the cloud provider.
              Before doing so, it should fire an event on the Salt event bus.

              The tag for this  event  is  salt/cloud/<vm  name>/destroying.   Once  the  virtual
              machine  has  been  destroyed,  another  event is fired.  The tag for that event is
              salt/cloud/<vm name>/destroyed.

       salt.cloud.clouds.libvirt.destroy_domain(conn, domain)

       salt.cloud.clouds.libvirt.do_cleanup(cleanup)
              Clean up clone domain leftovers as much as possible.

              Extra  robust clean up in order to deal with some small changes in libvirt behavior
              over time. Passed in volumes and domains are deleted, any errors are ignored.  Used
              when cloning/provisioning a domain fails.

              Parameters
                     cleanup -- list containing dictonaries with two keys: 'what' and 'item'.  If
                     'what' is domain the 'item' is a libvirt domain object.  If 'what' is volume
                     then the item is a libvirt volume object.

              Returns
                     none

   salt.cloud.clouds.linode
   The Linode Cloud Module
       The Linode cloud module is used to interact with the Linode Cloud.

       You can target a specific version of the Linode API with the  api_version  parameter.  The
       default is v3.

   Provider
       The following provider parameters are supported:

       • apikey: (required) The key to use to authenticate with the Linode API.

       • password:  (required)  The default password to set on new VMs. Must be 8 characters with
         at least one lowercase, uppercase, and numeric.

       • api_version: (optional) The version of the Linode API to interact with. Defaults to v3.

       • poll_interval: (optional) The rate of time in milliseconds to poll the  Linode  API  for
         changes. Defaults to 500.

       • ratelimit_sleep:  (optional)  The  time  in  seconds  to  wait  before  retrying after a
         ratelimit has been enforced. Defaults to 0.

       NOTE:
          APIv3 usage is deprecated and will be removed in a future release in favor of APIv4. To
          move  to APIv4 now, set the api_version parameter in your provider configuration to v4.
          See           the            full            migration            guide            here
          https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/cloud/linode.html#migrating-to-apiv4.

       Set     up     the     provider     configuration    at    /etc/salt/cloud.providers    or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/linode.conf:

          my-linode-provider:
              driver: linode
              api_version: v4
              apikey: f4ZsmwtB1c7f85Jdu43RgXVDFlNjuJaeIYV8QMftTqKScEB2vSosFSr...
              password: F00barbaz

       For use with APIv3 (deprecated):

          my-linode-provider-v3:
              driver: linode
              apikey: f4ZsmwtB1c7f85Jdu43RgXVDFlNjuJaeIYV8QMftTqKScEB2vSosFSr...
              password: F00barbaz

   Profile
       The following profile parameters are supported:

       • size: (required) The size of the VM. This should be a  Linode  instance  type  ID  (i.e.
         g6-standard-2).  For APIv3, this would be a plan ID (i.e. Linode 2GB). Run salt-cloud -f
         avail_sizes my-linode-provider for options.

       • location: (required) The location of the VM.  This  should  be  a  Linode  region  (e.g.
         us-east).  For  APIv3,  this  would be a datacenter location (i.e. Newark, NJ, USA). Run
         salt-cloud -f avail_locations my-linode-provider for options.

       • image: (required) The image to deploy the boot disk from. This should  be  an  image  ID
         (e.g.  linode/ubuntu16.04); official images start with linode/. For APIv3, this would be
         an image label (i.e. Ubuntu 16.04). Run salt-cloud  -f  avail_images  my-linode-provider
         for more options.

       • password:  (*required)  The default password for the VM. Must be provided at the profile
         or provider level.

       • assign_private_ip: (optional) Whether or not to assign a private key to the VM. Defaults
         to False.

       • ssh_interface:  (optional)  The  interface with which to connect over SSH. Valid options
         are private_ips or public_ips. Defaults to public_ips.

       • ssh_pubkey: (optional) The public key to authorize for SSH with the VM.

       • swap: (optional) The amount of disk space to allocate for the swap  partition.  Defaults
         to 256.

       • clonefrom: (optional) The name of the Linode to clone from.

       • disk_size:  (deprecated, optional) The amount of disk space to allocate for the OS disk.
         This has no effect with APIv4; the size of the boot disk will be the remainder  of  disk
         space after the swap parition is allocated.

       Set up a profile configuration in /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/:

          my-linode-profile:
              # a minimal configuration
              provider: my-linode-provider
              size: g6-standard-1
              image: linode/alpine3.12
              location: us-east

          my-linode-profile-advanced:
              # an advanced configuration
              provider: my-linode-provider
              size: g6-standard-3
              image: linode/alpine3.10
              location: eu-west
              password: bogus123X
              assign_private_ip: true
              ssh_interface: private_ips
              ssh_pubkey: ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQAB...
              swap_size: 512

          my-linode-profile-v3:
              # a legacy configuration
              provider: my-linode-provider-v3
              size: Nanode 1GB
              image: Alpine 3.12
              location: Fremont, CA, USA

   Migrating to APIv4
       In order to target APIv4, ensure your provider configuration has api_version set to v4.

       You    will    also   need   to   generate   a   new   token   for   your   account.   See
       https://www.linode.com/docs/platform/api/getting-started-with-the-linode-api/#create-an-api-token

       There  are a few changes to note: - There has been a general move from label references to
       ID references. The profile configuration parameters location, size, and image  have  moved
       from being label based references to IDs. See the profile section for more information. In
       addition to these inputs being changed, avail_sizes, avail_locations, and avail_images now
       output  options  sorted  by  ID  instead  of label.  - The disk_size profile configuration
       parameter has been deprecated and will not be taken into account  when  creating  new  VMs
       while targeting APIv4.

              lease_action:
                     Required. Possible values: acquire|renew|release|break|change

              lease_id:
                     Required if the container has an active lease.

              lease_duration:
                     Specifies  the duration of the lease, in seconds, or negative one (-1) for a
                     lease that never expires. A non-infinite lease can  be  between  15  and  60
                     seconds.  A  lease  duration  cannot  be  changed using renew or change. For
                     backwards compatibility, the default is 60, and the value is only used on an
                     acquire operation.

              lease_break_period:
                     Optional.  For  a  break operation, this is the proposed duration of seconds
                     that the lease should continue  before  it  is  broken,  between  0  and  60
                     seconds.  This  break  period  is  only  used if it is shorter than the time
                     remaining on the lease. If longer, the time remaining on the lease is  used.
                     A  new  lease will not be available before the break period has expired, but
                     the lease may be held for longer than the break period. If this header  does
                     not  appear  with a break operation, a fixed-duration lease breaks after the
                     remaining lease period elapses, and an infinite lease breaks immediately.

              proposed_lease_id:
                     Optional for acquire, required for change. Proposed  lease  ID,  in  a  GUID
                     string format.

                     The name of the storage container

              prefix:
                     Optional.  Filters  the  results to return only blobs whose names begin with
                     the specified prefix.

              marker:
                     Optional. A string value that identifies the  portion  of  the  list  to  be
                     returned  with the next list operation. The operation returns a marker value
                     within the response body if the list returned was not complete.  The  marker
                     value  may then be used in a subsequent call to request the next set of list
                     items. The marker value is opaque to the client.

              maxresults:
                     Optional. Specifies the maximum number of blobs  to  return,  including  all
                     BlobPrefix elements. If the request does not specify maxresults or specifies
                     a value greater than 5,000, the  server  will  return  up  to  5,000  items.
                     Setting  maxresults  to  a value less than or equal to zero results in error
                     response code 400 (Bad Request).

              include:
                     Optional. Specifies one or more datasets to  include  in  the  response.  To
                     specify  more  than  one of these options on the URI, you must separate each
                     option with a comma. Valid values are:

                     snapshots:
                            Specifies that snapshots  should  be  included  in  the  enumeration.
                            Snapshots are listed from oldest to newest in the response.

                     metadata:
                            Specifies that blob metadata be returned in the response.

                     uncommittedblobs:
                            Specifies  that  blobs for which blocks have been uploaded, but which
                            have not been committed using Put Block List (REST API), be  included
                            in the response.

                     copy:  Version  2012-02-12 and newer. Specifies that metadata related to any
                            current or previous Copy Blob operation should  be  included  in  the
                            response.

              delimiter:
                     Optional.  When the request includes this parameter, the operation returns a
                     BlobPrefix element in the response body that acts as a placeholder  for  all
                     blobs  whose names begin with the same substring up to the appearance of the
                     delimiter character. The delimiter may be a single character or a string.

       bootstrapped with Salt. It also has functions to create block storages and ssh keys.

       depends
              1and1 >= 1.2.0

       The module requires the 1&1 api_token to be provided.  The server should also be  assigned
       a public LAN, a private LAN, or both along with SSH key pairs.

       Set     up     the     cloud     configuration     at     /etc/salt/cloud.providers     or

   OpenNebula Cloud Module
       The OpenNebula cloud module is used to control access to an OpenNebula cloud.

       New in version 2014.7.0.

       depends
              lxml

       depends
              OpenNebula installation running version 4.14 or later.

       Use of this module requires the xml_rpc, user, and password parameters to be set.

       Set     up     the     cloud     configuration     at     /etc/salt/cloud.providers     or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/opennebula.conf:

          my-opennebula-config:
            xml_rpc: http://localhost:2633/RPC2
            user: oneadmin
            password: JHGhgsayu32jsa
            driver: opennebula

       This  driver  supports accessing new VM instances via DNS entry instead of IP address.  To
       enable this feature, in the provider or profile file add fqdn_base with a  value  matching
       the base of your fully-qualified domain name.  Example:

          my-opennebula-config:
            [...]
            fqdn_base: <my.basedomain.com>
            [...]

       The  driver  will prepend the hostname to the fqdn_base and do a DNS lookup to find the IP
       of the new VM.

          salt-cloud -f image_allocate opennebula datastore_name=default \
              data='NAME="My New Image" DESCRIPTION="Description of the image." \

   salt.cloud.clouds.openstack
   Openstack Cloud Driver
       depends
              shade>=1.19.0

       OpenStack is an open source project that is in use by a number a cloud providers, each  of
       which have their own ways of using it.

       This  OpenStack  driver  uses  a the shade python module which is managed by the OpenStack
       Infra team.  This module is written to handle all  the  different  versions  of  different
       OpenStack  tools  for  salt, so most commands are just passed over to the module to handle
       everything.

   Provider
       There are two ways to configure providers for this driver.  The first one is to  just  let
       shade   handle   everything,   and   configure   using  os-client-config  and  setting  up
       /etc/openstack/clouds.yml.

          clouds:
            democloud:
              region_name: RegionOne
              auth:
                username: 'demo'
                password: secret
                project_name: 'demo'
                auth_url: 'http://openstack/identity'

       And then this can be referenced in the salt provider based on the democloud name.

          myopenstack:
            driver: openstack
            cloud: democloud
            region_name: RegionOne

       This allows for just using one configuration for salt-cloud and for  any  other  openstack
       tools which are all using /etc/openstack/clouds.yml

       The other method allows for specifying everything in the provider config, instead of using
       the extra configuration file.  This will allow for passing salt-cloud configs only through
       pillars for minions without having to write a clouds.yml file on each minion.abs

          myopenstack:
            driver: openstack
            region_name: RegionOne
            auth:
              username: 'demo'
              password: secret
              project_name: 'demo'
              user_domain_name: default,
              project_domain_name: default,
              auth_url: 'http://openstack/identity'

       Or  if  you need to use a profile to setup some extra stuff, it can be passed as a profile
       to use any of the vendor config options.

          myrackspace:
            driver: openstack
            profile: rackspace
            auth:
              username: rackusername
              api_key: myapikey
            region_name: ORD
            auth_type: rackspace_apikey

       And this will pull in the profile for rackspace and setup all the correct options for  the
       auth_url and different api versions for services.

   Profile
       Most  of the options for building servers are just passed on to the create_server function
       from shade.

       The salt specific ones are:

          • ssh_key_file: The path to the ssh key that should be used to login to the machine  to
            bootstrap it

          • ssh_key_file: The name of the keypair in openstack

          • userdata_template:  The  renderer to use if the userdata is a file that is templated.
            Default: False

          • ssh_interface:  The  interface  to  use  to  login  for  bootstrapping:   public_ips,
            private_ips, floating_ips, fixed_ips

          • ignore_cidr: Specify a CIDR range of unreachable private addresses for salt to ignore
            when connecting

          centos:
            provider: myopenstack
            image: CentOS 7
            size: ds1G
            ssh_key_name: mykey
            ssh_key_file: /root/.ssh/id_rsa

       This is the minimum setup required.

       If  metadata  is  set  to  make  sure  that  the  host  has  finished   setting   up   the
       wait_for_metadata can be set.

          centos:
            provider: myopenstack
            image: CentOS 7
            size: ds1G
            ssh_key_name: mykey
            ssh_key_file: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            meta:
              build_config: rack_user_only
            wait_for_metadata:
              rax_service_level_automation: Complete
              rackconnect_automation_status: DEPLOYED

       If  your  OpenStack  instances  only have private IP addresses and a CIDR range of private
       addresses are not reachable from the salt-master, you may set your preference to have Salt
       ignore it:

          my-openstack-config:
            ignore_cidr: 192.168.0.0/16

              vboxapi

       For now this will only clone existing VMs. It's best to create a template  from  which  we
       will clone.

       Followed
       https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/cloud/cloud.html#non-libcloud-based-modules
       to create this.

       Dicts provided by salt:

              __opts__
                     contains  the  options  used  to  run  Salt  Cloud,  as  well  as  a  set of
                     configuration and environment variables

       salt.cloud.clouds.virtualbox.create(vm_info)
              Creates a virtual machine from the given VM information

              This is what is used to request a virtual  machine  to  be  created  by  the  cloud
              provider, wait for it to become available, and then (optionally) log in and install
              Salt on it.

              Events fired:

              This  function  fires  the  event  salt/cloud/vm_name/creating,  with  the  payload
              containing the names of the VM, profile, and provider.

              @param vm_info

                 {
                     name: <str>

                     clonemode: <mode> (default: state, choices: state, child, all)
                 }

              @type  vm_info  dict  @return  dict of resulting vm. !!!Passwords can and should be
              included!!!

       salt.cloud.clouds.virtualbox.destroy(name, call=None)
              This function irreversibly destroys  a  virtual  machine  on  the  cloud  provider.
              Before doing so, it should fire an event on the Salt event bus.

              The  tag  for  this  event  is  salt/cloud/<vm  name>/destroying.  Once the virtual
              machine has been destroyed, another event is fired.  The  tag  for  that  event  is
              salt/cloud/<vm name>/destroyed.

       salt.cloud.clouds.virtualbox.list_nodes(kwargs=None, call=None)
              This function returns a list of nodes available on this cloud provider,  using  the
              following fields:

              id (str) image (str) size (str) state (str) private_ips (list) public_ips (list)

              No other fields should be returned in this function, and all of these fields should
              be returned, even if empty.  The private_ips and public_ips fields should always be
              of a list type, even if empty, and the other fields should always be of a str type.
              This function is normally called with the -Q option:

              All information available about all nodes should be returned in this function.  The
              fields in the list_nodes() function should also be returned, even if they would not

   Dependencies
       • pyVmomi Python Module

   pyVmomi
       PyVmomi can be installed via pip:

          pip install pyVmomi

       NOTE:
          Version 6.0 of pyVmomi has some problems with SSL error handling on certain versions of
          Python. If using version 6.0 of pyVmomi, Python 2.6, Python 2.7.9,  or  newer  must  be
          present.  This is due to an upstream dependency in pyVmomi 6.0 that is not supported in
          Python versions 2.7 to 2.7.8. If the version of Python is not in the  supported  range,
          you  will  need  to  install  an  earlier version of pyVmomi. See Issue #29537 for more
          information.

       Based on the note above, to install  an  earlier  version  of  pyVmomi  than  the  version
       currently listed in PyPi, run the following:

          pip install pyVmomi==5.5.0.2014.1.1

       The  5.5.0.2014.1.1  is  a known stable version that this original VMware cloud driver was
       developed against.

       NOTE:
          Ensure python pyVmomi module is installed by running  following  one-liner  check.  The
          output should be 0.

              python -c "import pyVmomi" ; echo $?

   Configuration
       To use this module, set up the vCenter or ESX/ESXi URL, username and password in the cloud
       configuration at /etc/salt/cloud.providers or /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/vmware.conf:

          my-vmware-config:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: '10.20.30.40'

          vcenter01:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'vcenter01.domain.com'
            protocol: 'https'
            port: 443

          vcenter02:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'DOMAIN\user'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'vcenter02.domain.com'
            protocol: 'http'
            port: 80

          esx01:
            driver: vmware
            user: 'admin'
            password: 'verybadpass'
            url: 'esx01.domain.com'

       NOTE:
          Optionally, protocol and port can be specified if the vCenter server is not  using  the
          defaults. Default is protocol: https and port: 443.

       NOTE:
          Changed in version 2015.8.0.

          The  provider  parameter  in  cloud provider configuration was renamed to driver.  This
          change was made to avoid confusion with the provider parameter that is  used  in  cloud
          profile  configuration.  Cloud  provider  configuration now uses driver to refer to the
          salt-cloud driver that provides the underlying functionality  to  connect  to  a  cloud
          provider,  while  cloud profile configuration continues to use provider to refer to the
          cloud provider configuration that you define.

       To test the connection for my-vmware-config specified  in  the  cloud  configuration,  run
       test_vcenter_connection()

       salt.cloud.clouds.vmware.add_host(kwargs=None, call=None)

                 under  your  provider  configuration  set  up  at  /etc/salt/cloud.providers  or
                 /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/vmware.conf:

                     vcenter01:
                       driver: vmware
                       user: 'DOMAIN\user'
                       password: 'verybadpass'
                       url: 'vcenter01.domain.com'

                       # Required when adding a host system
                       esxi_host_user: 'root'
                       esxi_host_password: 'myhostpassword'
                       # Optional fields that can be specified when adding a host system
                       esxi_host_ssl_thumbprint: '12:A3:45:B6:CD:7E:F8:90:A1:BC:23:45:D6:78:9E:FA:01:2B:34:CD'

       salt.cloud.clouds.vmware.reset(name, soft=False, call=None)
              To reset a VM using its name

              NOTE:
                 If  soft=True  then  issues a command to the guest operating system asking it to
                 perform a reboot. Otherwise hypervisor will terminate VM  and  start  it  again.
                 Default is soft=False

                 For soft=True vmtools should be installed on guest system.

              the virtual machine remains unchanged

              NOTE:
                 The virtual machine will be powered on if the power state of the  snapshot  when
                 it  was  created was set to "Powered On". Set power_off=True so that the virtual
                 machine stays powered off regardless of the power state of the snapshot when  it
                 was created. Default is power_off=False.

                 If  the  power state of the snapshot when it was created was "Powered On" and if
                 power_off=True, the VM will be put in suspended state after it has been reverted
                 to the snapshot.

              CLI Example:

                 salt-cloud -a revert_to_snapshot vmame [power_off=True]

                 want to shut down the host system regardless of whether  it  is  in  maintenance
                 mode, set force=True. Default is force=False.

              CLI Example:

                 salt-cloud -f shutdown_host my-vmware-config host="myHostSystemName" [force=True]

       salt.cloud.clouds.vmware.start(name, call=None)

                 perform a clean shutdown of all services.  Default is soft=False

                 For soft=True vmtools should be installed on guest system.

              CLI Example:

                 salt-cloud -a stop vmname
                 salt-cloud -a stop vmname soft=True

   salt.cloud.clouds.vultrpy
   Vultr Cloud Module using python-vultr bindings
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       The Vultr cloud module is used to control access to the Vultr VPS system.

       Use of this module only requires the api_key parameter.

       Set     up     the     cloud     configuration     at     /etc/salt/cloud.providers     or
       /etc/salt/cloud.providers.d/vultr.conf:

          my-vultr-config:
            # Vultr account api key
            api_key: <supersecretapi_key>
            driver: vultr

       Set      up      the      cloud      profile      at      /etc/salt/cloud.profiles      or
       /etc/salt/cloud.profiles.d/vultr.conf:

          nyc-4gb-4cpu-ubuntu-14-04:
            location: 1
            provider: my-vultr-config
            image: 160
            size: 95
            enable_private_network: True

       This driver also supports Vultr's startup script feature.  You can list startup scripts in
       your account with

          salt-cloud -f list_scripts <name of vultr provider>

       That list will include the IDs of the scripts in your account.  Thus, if you have a script
       called  'setup-networking'  with  an ID of 493234 you can specify that startup script in a
       profile like so:

          nyc-2gb-1cpu-ubuntu-17-04:
            location: 1
            provider: my-vultr-config
            image: 223
            size: 13
            startup_script_id: 493234

       Similarly you can also specify a fiewall group ID using the option firewall_group_id.  You
       can list firewall groups with

          salt-cloud -f list_firewall_groups <name of vultr provider>

       To specify SSH keys to be preinstalled on the server, use the ssh_key_names setting

          nyc-2gb-1cpu-ubuntu-17-04:
            location: 1
            provider: my-vultr-config
            image: 223
            size: 13
            ssh_key_names: dev1,dev2,salt-master

       You can list SSH keys available on your account using

          salt-cloud -f list_keypairs <name of vultr provider>

   salt.engines.docker_events
       Send events from Docker events :Depends:   Docker API >= 1.22

       salt.engines.docker_events.start(docker_url='unix://var/run/docker.sock',      timeout=60,
       tag='salt/engines/docker_events', filters=None)
              Scan for Docker events and fire events

              Example Config

                 engines:
                   - docker_events:
                       docker_url: unix://var/run/docker.sock
                       filters:
                         event:
                         - start
                         - stop
                         - die
                         - oom

              The  config  above  sets up engines to listen for events from the Docker daemon and
              publish them to the Salt event bus.

              For                    filter                    reference,                     see
              https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/events/

   salt.engines.fluent
       An  engine  that  reads  messages  from  the  salt event bus and pushes them onto a fluent
       endpoint.

       New in version 3000.

       Configuration

       All arguments are optional
          Example configuration of default settings

              engines:
                - fluent:
                    host: localhost
                    port: 24224
                    app: engine

          Example fluentd configuration

              <source>
                  @type forward
                  port 24224
              </source>

              <match saltstack.**>
                  @type file
                  path /var/log/td-agent/saltstack
              </match>

       depends
              fluent-logger

       salt.engines.fluent.start(host='localhost', port=24224, app='engine')
              Listen to salt events and forward them to fluent

              Parametershost (str) -- Host running fluentd agent. Default is localhost

                     • port (int) -- Port of fluentd agent. Default is 24224

                     • app (str) -- Text sent as fluentd tag. Default is "engine". This  text  is
                       appended to "saltstack." to form a fluentd tag, ex: "saltstack.engine"

   salt.engines.http_logstash
   HTTP Logstash engine
       An  engine  that  reads  messages  from the salt event bus and pushes them onto a logstash
       endpoint via HTTP requests.

       Changed in version 2018.3.0.

       NOTE:
          By default, this engine take everything from the Salt bus and  exports  into  Logstash.
          For a better selection of the events that you want to publish, you can use the tags and
          funs options.

       configuration
              Example configuration

                 engines:
                   - http_logstash:
                       url: http://blabla.com/salt-stuff
                       tags:
                           - salt/job/*/new
                           - salt/job/*/ret/*
                       funs:
                           - probes.results
                           - bgp.config

       salt.engines.http_logstash.start(url, funs=None, tags=None)
              Listen to salt events and forward them to logstash.

              url    The Logstash endpoint.

              funs: None
                     A list of functions to be compared against, looking into the fun field  from
                     the  event  data. This option helps to select the events generated by one or
                     more functions.  If an event does  not  have  the  fun  field  in  the  data
                     section,  it  will  be published. For a better selection, consider using the
                     tags option.  By default, this option accepts any event to be  submitted  to
                     Logstash.

              tags: None
                     A list of pattern to compare the event tag against.  By default, this option
                     accepts any event to be submitted to Logstash.

   salt.engines.ircbot
       IRC Bot engine

       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Example Configuration

          engines:

                username: <username>
                password: <password>
                host: irc.oftc.net
                port: 7000
                channels:
                  - salt-test
                  - '##something'
                use_ssl: True
                use_sasl: True
                disable_query: True
                allow_hosts:
                  - salt/engineer/.*
                allow_nicks:
                  - gtmanfred

       Available commands on irc are:

       ping   return pong

       echo <stuff>
              return <stuff> targeted at the user who sent the commands

              password
                     password for authenticating.  If not provided, user will not authenticate on
                     the irc server.

              channels

                     connect to server using ssl. Default: False

              use_sasl
                     authenticate using sasl, instead of messaging NickServ. Default: False

                     NOTE:
                        This will allow the bot user to be fully authenticated before joining any
                        channels

              char   command character to look for. Default: !

              allow_hosts
                     hostmasks  allowed to use commands on the bot.  Default: False True to allow
                     all False to allow none List of regexes to allow matching

              allow_nicks
                     Nicks that are allowed to use commands on the bot.  Default: False  True  to
                     allow all False to allow none List of regexes to allow matching

              disable_query
                     Disable  commands  from being sent through private queries.  Require they be
                     sent to a channel, so that all communication can be controlled by access  to
                     the channel. Default: True

              WARNING:
                 Unauthenticated Access to event stream

                 This  engine  sends events calls to the event stream without authenticating them
                 in salt.  Authentication will need to be configured  and  enforced  on  the  irc
                 server  or  enforced  in the irc channel.  The engine only accepts commands from
                 channels, so non authenticated users could be banned or quieted in the channel.

                 /mode +q $~a  # quiet all users who are not authenticated /mode +r      # do not
                 allow unauthenticated users into the channel

                 It  would  also  be possible to add a password to the irc channel, or only allow
                 invited users to join.

   salt.engines.junos_syslog
   Junos Syslog Engine
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       depends
              pyparsing, twisted

       An engine that listens to syslog message from Junos devices, extract event information and
       generate message on SaltStack bus.

       The  event  topic  sent  to  salt  is  dynamically  generated according to the topic title
       specified by the user. The incoming event data (from the junos  device)  consists  of  the
       following fields:

       1.  hostname

       2.  hostip

       3.  daemon

       4.  event

       5.  severity

       6.  priority

       7.  timestamp

       8.  message

       9.  pid

       10. raw (the raw event data forwarded from the device)

       The  topic  title can consist of any of the combination of above fields, but the topic has
       to start with 'jnpr/syslog'.  So, we can have different combinations:

          • jnpr/syslog/hostip/daemon/event

          • jnpr/syslog/daemon/severity

       The corresponding dynamic topic sent on salt event bus would look something like:

          • jnpr/syslog/1.1.1.1/mgd/UI_COMMIT_COMPLETED

          • jnpr/syslog/sshd/7

       The default topic title is 'jnpr/syslog/hostname/event'.

       The user can choose the type of data they wants of the event bus.  Like, if one wants only
       events pertaining to a particular daemon, they can specify that in the configuration file:

          daemon: mgd

       One can even have a list of daemons like:

          daemon:
            - mgd
            - sshd

       Example configuration (to be written in master config file)

          engines:
            - junos_syslog:
                port: 9999
                topic: jnpr/syslog/hostip/daemon/event
                daemon:
                  - mgd
                  - sshd

       For  junos_syslog  engine to receive events, syslog must be set on the junos device.  This
       can be done via following configuration:

          set system syslog host <ip-of-the-salt-device> port 516 any any

       Below is a sample syslog event which is received from the junos device:

          '<30>May 29 05:18:12 bng-ui-vm-9 mspd[1492]: No chassis configuration found'

       The    source    for    parsing     the     syslog     messages     is     taken     from:
       https://gist.github.com/leandrosilva/3651640#file-xlog-py

       class salt.engines.junos_syslog.DatagramProtocol

       salt.engines.junos_syslog.start(port=516, **kwargs)

   salt.engines.libvirt_events
       An engine that listens for libvirt events and resends them to the salt event bus.

       The  minimal  configuration  is  the  following and will listen to all events on the local
       hypervisor and send them with a tag starting with salt/engines/libvirt_events:

          engines:
              - libvirt_events

       Note that the  automatically-picked  libvirt  connection  will  depend  on  the  value  of
       uri_default in /etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf. To force using another connection like the local
       LXC libvirt driver, set the uri property as in the following example configuration.

          engines:
              - libvirt_events:
                  uri: lxc:///
                  tag_prefix: libvirt
                  filters:
                      - domain/lifecycle
                      - domain/reboot
                      - pool

       Filters is a list of event types to relay to the event bus. Items  in  this  list  can  be
       either  one  of  the  main  types  (domain, network, pool, nodedev, secret), all or a more
       precise filter. These can be done with values  like  <main_type>/<subtype>.  The  possible
       values  are  in  the  CALLBACK_DEFS constant. If the filters list contains all, all events
       will be relayed.

       Be aware that the list of events increases with  libvirt  versions,  for  example  network
       events have been added in libvirt 1.2.1 and storage events in 2.0.0.

   Running the engine on non-root
       Running this engine as non-root requires a special attention, which is surely the case for
       the master running as user salt. The engine is likely to fail to connect to  libvirt  with
       an error like this one:
          [ERROR   ] authentication unavailable: no polkit agent available to authenticate action
          'org.libvirt.unix.monitor'

       To fix this, the user running the engine, for example the salt-master, needs to  have  the
       rights  to  connect  to  libvirt  in  the  machine  polkit config.  A polkit rule like the
       following one will allow salt user to connect to libvirt:

          polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
              if (action.id.indexOf("org.libvirt") == 0 &&
                  subject.user == "salt") {
                  return polkit.Result.YES;
              }
          });

       salt.engines.libvirt_events.start(uri=None,      tag_prefix='salt/engines/libvirt_events',
       filters=None)
              Listen to libvirt events and forward them to salt.

              Parametersuri  --  libvirt  URI  to  listen  on.  Defaults to None to pick the first
                       available local hypervisor

                     • tag_prefix -- the beginning of the salt event tag  to  use.   Defaults  to
                       'salt/engines/libvirt_events'

                     • filters -- the list of event of listen on. Defaults to 'all'

   salt.engines.logentries
       An engine that sends events to the Logentries logging service.

       platform
              all

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       To enable this engine the master and/or minion will need the following python libraries
          ssl certifi

       If  you  are  running  a new enough version of python then the ssl library will be present
       already.

       You will also need the following values configured in the minion or master config.

       configuration
              Example configuration

                 engines:
                   - logentries:
                       endpoint: data.logentries.com
                       port: 10000
                       token: 057af3e2-1c05-47c5-882a-5cd644655dbf

       The 'token' can be obtained from the Logentries service.

              Listen to salt events and forward them to Logentries

   salt.engines.logstash_engine
       An  engine  that  reads  messages  from the salt event bus and pushes them onto a logstash
       endpoint.

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       configuration
              Example configuration

   salt.engines.napalm_syslog
   NAPALM syslog engine
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       An  engine  that  takes  syslog messages structured in OpenConfig or IETF format and fires
       Salt events.

       As there can be many messages pushed into the event bus, the user is able to filter  based
       on the object structure.

   Requirementsnapalm-logs

       This  engine  transfers  objects  from the napalm-logs library into the event bus. The top
       dictionary has the following keys:

       • iphosttimestampos: the network OS identified

       • model_name: the OpenConfig or IETF model name

       • error: the error name (consult the documentation)

       • message_details: details extracted from the syslog message

       • open_config: the OpenConfig model

       The napalm-logs transfers the messages via  widely  used  transport  mechanisms  such  as:
       ZeroMQ (default), Kafka, etc.

       The user can select the right transport using the transport option in the configuration.

       configuration
              Example configuration

                 engines:
                   - napalm_syslog:
                       transport: zmq
                       address: 1.2.3.4
                       port: 49018

       To  consume  the  events  and  eventually  react and deploy a configuration changes on the
       device(s) firing the event, one is able to identify  the  minion  ID,  using  one  of  the
       following alternatives, but not limited to:

       • Host grains to match the event tag

       • Host DNS grain to match the IP address in the event data

       • Hostname grains to match the event tag

       • Define static grains

       • Write a grains module

       • Targeting  minions using pillar data - The user can configure certain information in the
         Pillar data and then use it to identify minions

       Master configuration example, to match the event and react:

          reactor:
            - 'napalm/syslog/*/BGP_PREFIX_THRESH_EXCEEDED/*':
              - salt://increase_prefix_limit_on_thresh_exceeded.sls

       Which matches the events having the error code BGP_PREFIX_THRESH_EXCEEDED from any network
       operating      system,     from     any     host     and     reacts,     executing     the
       increase_prefix_limit_on_thresh_exceeded.sls reactor, found under one  of  the  file_roots
       paths.

       Reactor example:

          increase_prefix_limit_on_thresh_exceeded:
            local.net.load_template:
              - tgt: "hostname:{{ data['host'] }}"
              - tgt_type: grain
              - kwarg:
                  template_name: salt://increase_prefix_limit.jinja
                  openconfig_structure: {{ data['open_config'] }}

       The  reactor  in  the example increases the BGP prefix limit when triggered by an event as
       above. The minion is matched using the host field from the data (which is the body of  the
       event),  compared  to  the  hostname  grain field. When the event occurs, the reactor will
       execute   the   net.load_template   function,   sending   as   arguments   the    template
       salt://increase_prefix_limit.jinja  defined  by  the  user  in  their  environment and the
       complete OpenConfig object under the variable name openconfig_structure. Inside the  Jinja
       template,  the  user  can  process  the  object  from  openconfig_structure and define the
       bussiness logic as required.

   salt.engines.redis_sentinel
       An  engine  that  reads  messages  from the redis sentinel pubsub and sends reactor events
       based on the channels they are subscribed to.

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       configuration
              Example configuration

                 engines:
                   - redis_sentinel:
                       hosts:
                         matching: 'board*'
                         port: 26379
                         interface: eth2

                         - '+odown'
                         - '-odown'

       depends
              redis

       class salt.engines.redis_sentinel.Listener(host=None, port=None, channels=None, tag=None)

              work(item)

       salt.engines.redis_sentinel.start(hosts, channels, tag=None)

   salt.engines.script
       Send events based on a script's stdout

       Example Config

          engines:
            - script:
                cmd: /some/script.py -a 1 -b 2
                output: json
                interval: 5

       Script engine configs:
          cmd: Script  or  command  to  execute  output:  Any  available  saltstack  deserializer
          interval: How often in seconds to execute the command

       salt.engines.script.start(cmd, output='json', interval=1)
              Parse stdout of a command and generate an event

              The script engine will scrap stdout of the given script and generate an event based
              on the presence of the 'tag' key and its value.

              If there is a data obj available, that will also be fired along with the tag.

              Example

              Given the following json output from a script:

                     { "tag" : "lots/of/tacos",
                     "data" : { "toppings" : "cilantro" }
                     }

              This will fire the event 'lots/of/tacos' on the event bus with the data obj as is.

              Parameterscmd -- The command to execute

                     • output -- How to deserialize stdout of the script

                     • interval -- How often to execute the script

   salt.engines.slack
       An engine that reads messages from Slack and can act on them

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       depends
              slackclient Python module

       IMPORTANT:
          This engine requires a bot user.  To  create  a  bot  user,  first  go  to  the  Custom
          Integrations  page  in  your  Slack  Workspace.  Copy  and paste the following URL, and
          replace myworkspace with the proper value for your workspace:

          https://myworkspace.slack.com/apps/manage/custom-integrations

          Next, click on the Bots integration and  request  installation.  Once  approved  by  an
          admin,  you  will  be  able to proceed with adding the bot user.  Once the bot user has
          been added, you can configure it by adding an avatar, setting the  display  name,  etc.
          You  will  also  at  this  time  have access to your API token, which will be needed to
          configure this engine.

          Finally, add this bot user to a channel by switching to the channel and  using  /invite
          @mybotuser.  Keep  in  mind that this engine will process messages from each channel in
          which the bot is a member, so it is recommended to narrowly define the  commands  which
          can be executed, and the Slack users which are allowed to run commands.

       This  engine  has two boolean configuration parameters that toggle specific features (both
       default to False):

       1. control - If set to True, then any message which starts with the trigger string  (which
          defaults  to  !  and  can  be  overridden  by  setting the trigger option in the engine
          configuration) will be interpreted as a Salt CLI command and the engine will attempt to
          run  it. The permissions defined in the various groups will determine if the Slack user
          is allowed to run the command. The targets and default_target options can  be  used  to
          set targets for a given command, but the engine can also read the following two keyword
          arguments:

          • target - The target expression to use for the command

          • tgt_type - The match type, can be one of glob, list, pcre, grain, grain_pcre, pillar,
            nodegroup, range, ipcidr, or compound. The default value is glob.

          Here are a few examples:

             !test.ping target=*
             !state.apply foo target=os:CentOS tgt_type=grain
             !pkg.version mypkg target=role:database tgt_type=pillar

       2. fire_all  - If set to True, all messages which are not prefixed with the trigger string
          will fired as events onto Salt's ref:event bus <event-system>. The tag for these veents
          will  be  prefixed  with  the  string  specified  by  the  tag  config option (default:
          salt/engines/slack).

       The groups_pillar_name config option can be used to  pull  group  configuration  from  the
       specified pillar key.

       NOTE:
          In  order  to use groups_pillar_name, the engine must be running as a minion running on
          the master, so that the Caller client can be used to retrieve that minions pillar data,
          because the master process does not have pillar data.

   Configuration Examples
       Changed in version 2017.7.0: Access control group support added

       This  example  uses  a  single  group  called default. In addition, other groups are being
       loaded from pillar data. The group names do not have any significance, it is the users and
       commands  defined  within  them  that  are  used  to  determine whether the Slack user has
       permission to run the desired command.

          engines:

                groups:
                  default:
                    users:

                      list_commands:
                        cmd: 'pillar.get salt:engines:slack:valid_commands target=saltmaster tgt_type=list'
                    default_target:
                      target: saltmaster
                      tgt_type: glob
                    targets:
                      test.ping:
                        target: '*'
                        tgt_type: glob
                      cmd.run:
                        target: saltmaster
                        tgt_type: list

       This example shows multiple groups applying to different  users,  with  all  users  having
       access to run test.ping. Keep in mind that when using *, the value must be quoted, or else
       PyYAML will fail to load the configuration.

                     Break out the permissions into the following:

                     Check whether a user is in any group, including whether a group has the  '*'
                     membership

                     Parametersuser (str) -- The username being checked against

                            • command (str) -- The command that is being invoked (e.g. test.ping)

                            • groups (dict) -- the dictionary with groups permissions structure.

                     Return type
                            tuple

                     Returns
                            On  a  successful  permitting  match,  returns  2-element  tuple that
                            contains the name of the  group  that  successfully  matched,  and  a
                            dictionary  containing  the  configuration  of the group so it can be
                            referenced.

                            On failure it returns an empty tuple

              commandline_to_list(cmdline_str, trigger_string)
                     cmdline_str is the string of the command line trigger_string is the  trigger
                     string, to be removed

              control_message_target(slack_user_name, text, loaded_groups, trigger_string)
                     Returns a tuple of (target, cmdline,) for the response

                     Raises IndexError if a user can't be looked up from all_slack_users

                     Returns (False, False) if the user doesn't have permission

                     These  are  returned  together  because  the  commandline  and the targeting
                     interact  with  the  group  config  (specifically  aliases   and   targeting
                     configuration) so taking care of them together works out.

                     The  cmdline that is returned is the actual list that should be processed by
                     salt, and not the alias.

              fire(tag, msg)
                     This replaces a function in main called 'fire'

                     It fires an event into the salt bus.

                     When the trigger_string prefixes the message text, yields a dictionary of:

                        {
                            'message_data': m_data,

                            'channel': channel,
                            'user': m_data['user'],
                            'slack_client': sc
                        }

                     else yields {'message_data': m_data} and the caller can handle that

                     When encountering an error (e.g. invalid message), yields {}, the caller can
                     proceed to the next message

                     When the websocket being read from has given up  all  its  messages,  yields
                     {'done': True} to indicate that the caller has read all of the relevant data
                     for now, and should continue its own processing and check back for more data
                     later.

                     This  relies  on  the  caller  sleeping between checks, otherwise this could
                     flood

              get_jobs_from_runner(outstanding_jids)
                     Given a list of job_ids, return a dictionary  of  those  job_ids  that  have
                     completed and their results.

                     Query  the salt event bus via the jobs runner. jobs.list_job will show a job
                     in progress, jobs.lookup_jid will return a job that has completed.

                     returns a dictionary of job id: result

              get_slack_channels(token)
                     Get all channel names from Slack

              get_slack_users(token)
                     Get all users from Slack

              get_target(permitted_group, cmdline, alias_cmdline)
                     When we are permitted to run a command on a target, look  to  see  what  the
                     default  targeting  is  for  that  group,  and for that specific command (if
                     provided).

                     It's possible for None or False to be the result of either, which means that
                     it's expected that the caller provide a specific target.

                     If  no  configured  target  is provided, the command line will be parsed for
                     target=foo and tgt_type=bar

                     Test for this:

                        h = {'aliases': {}, 'commands': {'cmd.run', 'pillar.get'},
                            'default_target': {'target': '*', 'tgt_type': 'glob'},
                            'targets': {'pillar.get': {'target': 'you_momma', 'tgt_type': 'list'}},
                            'users': {'dmangot', 'jmickle', 'pcn'}}
                        f = {'aliases': {}, 'commands': {'cmd.run', 'pillar.get'},
                             'default_target': {}, 'targets': {},'users': {'dmangot', 'jmickle', 'pcn'}}

                        g = {'aliases': {}, 'commands': {'cmd.run', 'pillar.get'},
                             'default_target': {'target': '*', 'tgt_type': 'glob'},
                             'targets': {}, 'users': {'dmangot', 'jmickle', 'pcn'}}

                     Run each of them through get_configured_target(('foo', f), 'pillar.get') and
                     confirm a valid target

              Listen to slack events and forward them to salt, new version

   salt.engines.sqs_events
       An engine that continuously reads messages from SQS and fires them as events.

       Note that long polling is utilized to avoid excessive CPU usage.

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       depends
              boto

   Configuration
       This engine can be run on the master or on a minion.

       Example Config:

          sqs.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
          sqs.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
          sqs.message_format: json

       Explicit sqs credentials are accepted but this engine can also utilize IAM roles  assigned
       to  the  instance  through  Instance  Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then automatically
       obtained from AWS  API  and  no  further  configuration  is  necessary.  More  Information
       available at:

          http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

       If IAM roles are not (or for boto version < 2.5.1) used you need to specify them either in
       a pillar or in the config file of the master or minion, as appropriate:

       To deserialize the message from json:

          sqs.message_format: json

       It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via a profile:

          sqs.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
          sqs.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

       A region may also be specified in the configuration:

          sqs.region: us-east-1

       If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

       It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via a profile:

          myprofile:
            keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
            key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
            region: us-east-1

       Additionally you can define cross account sqs:

          engines:
            - sqs_events:
                queue: prod
                owner_acct_id: 111111111111

       salt.engines.sqs_events.start(queue,         profile=None,          tag='salt/engine/sqs',
       owner_acct_id=None)
              Listen to sqs and fire message on event bus

   salt.engines.stalekey
       An  engine  that uses presence detection to keep track of which minions have been recently
       connected and remove their keys if they have not been connected for a  certain  period  of
       time.

       Requires that the minion_data_cache option be enabled.

       New in version 2017.7.0.

       configuration
              Example configuration:

                 engines:
                   - stalekey:
                       interval: 3600
                       expire: 86400

       salt.engines.stalekey.start(interval=3600, expire=604800)
              Start the engine

   salt.engines.test
       A simple test engine, not intended for real use but as an example

       salt.engines.test.event_bus_context(opts)

       salt.engines.test.start()
              Listen to events and write them to a log file

   salt.engines.thorium
       Manage the Thorium complex event reaction system

       salt.engines.thorium.start(grains=False, grain_keys=None, pillar=False, pillar_keys=None)
              Execute the Thorium runtime

   salt.engines.webhook
       Send events from webhook api

       salt.engines.webhook.start(address=None, port=5000, ssl_crt=None, ssl_key=None)
              Api to listen for webhooks to send to the reactor.

              Implement the webhook behavior in an engine.  rest_cherrypy Webhook docs

              Unlike the rest_cherrypy Webhook, this is only an unauthenticated webhook endpoint.
              If an authenticated webhook endpoint is needed, use the salt-api webhook which runs
              on the master and authenticates through eauth.

              WARNING:
                 Unauthenticated endpoint

                 This  engine  sends webhook calls to the event stream.  If the engine is running
                 on a minion with file_client: local the  event  is  sent  to  the  minion  event
                 stream.  Otherwise it is sent to the master event stream.

              Example Config

                 engines:
                   - webhook: {}

                 engines:
                   - webhook:
                       port: 8000
                       address: 10.128.1.145
                       ssl_crt: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
                       ssl_key: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.key

   salt.executors.direct_call
       Direct call executor module

       salt.executors.direct_call.execute(opts, data, func, args, kwargs)
              Directly calls the given function with arguments

   salt.executors.docker
       Docker executor module

       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Used with the docker proxy minion.

       salt.executors.docker.allow_missing_func(function)
              Allow all calls to be passed through to docker container.

              The docker call will use direct_call, which will return  back  if  the  module  was
              unable to be run.

       salt.executors.docker.execute(opts, data, func, args, kwargs)
              Directly calls the given function with arguments

   salt.executors.splay
       Splay function calls across targeted minions

       salt.executors.splay.execute(opts, data, func, args, kwargs)
              Splay  a  salt function call execution time across minions over a number of seconds
              (default: 300)

              NOTE:
                 You probably want to use --async here and look up the  job  results  later.   If
                 you're  dead  set  on getting the output from the CLI command, then make sure to
                 set the timeout (with the -t flag) to something greater than the splaytime  (max
                 splaytime + time to execute job).  Otherwise, it's very likely that the cli will
                 time out before the job returns.

              CLI Example:

                 # With default splaytime
                 salt --async --module-executors='[splay, direct_call]' '*' pkg.install cowsay version=3.03-8.el6

                 # With specified splaytime (5 minutes) and timeout with 10 second buffer
                 salt -t 310 --module-executors='[splay, direct_call]' --executor-opts='{splaytime: 300}' '*' pkg.version cowsay

   salt.executors.sudo
       Sudo executor module

       salt.executors.sudo.execute(opts, data, func, args, kwargs)
              Allow for the calling of execution modules via sudo.

              This module is invoked by the minion if the sudo_user minion config is present.

              Example minion config:

                 sudo_user: saltdev

              Once this setting is made, any execution module call done by the minion will be run
              under sudo -u <sudo_user> salt-call.  For example, with the above minion config,

                 salt sudo_minion cmd.run 'cat /etc/sudoers'

              is equivalent to

                 sudo -u saltdev salt-call cmd.run 'cat /etc/sudoers'

              being run on sudo_minion.

   salt.executors.transactional_update module
       Transactional executor module

       New in version 3004.

       salt.executors.transactional_update.execute(opts, data, func, args, kwargs)
              Delegate into transactional_update module

              The  transactional_update  module  support  the  execution  of  functions  inside a
              transaction, as support apply a state (via apply, sls, single or highstate).

              This execution module can be used to route some Salt modules and  functions  to  be
              executed inside the transaction snapshot.

              Add this executor in the minion configuration file:

                 module_executors:
                   - transactional_update
                   - direct_call

              Or use the command line parameter:

                 salt-call --module-executors='[transactional_update, direct_call]' test.version

              You can also schedule a reboot if needed:

                 salt-call --module-executors='[transactional_update]' state.sls stuff activate_transaction=True

              There are some configuration parameters supported:

                 # Replace the list of default modules that all the functions
                 # are delegated to `transactional_update.call()`
                 delegated_modules: [cmd, pkg]

                 # Replace the list of default functions that are delegated to
                 # `transactional_update.call()`
                 delegated_functions: [pip.install]

                 # Expand the default list of modules
                 add_delegated_modules: [ansible]

   salt.fileserver.azurefs
       The backend for serving files from the Azure blob storage service.

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       To enable, add azurefs to the fileserver_backend option in the Master config file.

          fileserver_backend:
            - azurefs

       Starting in Salt 2018.3.0, this fileserver requires the standalone Azure Storage  SDK  for
       Python. Theoretically any version >= v0.20.0 should work, but it was developed against the
       v0.33.0 version.

       Each storage container will be mapped to an environment. By default,  containers  will  be
       mapped  to  the  base  environment.  You  can  override  this  behavior  with  the saltenv
       configuration option. You can have an unlimited number of storage containers, and can have
       a  storage  container  serve  multiple  environments,  or have multiple storage containers
       mapped to the same environment. Normal first-found rules apply, and storage containers are
       searched in the order they are defined.

       You  must  have  either an account_key or a sas_token defined for each container, if it is
       private. If you use a sas_token, it must have READ and LIST permissions.

          azurefs:
            - account_name: my_storage
              account_key: 'fNH9cRp0+qVIVYZ+5rnZAhHc9ycOUcJnHtzpfOr0W0sxrtL2KVLuMe1xDfLwmfed+JJInZaEdWVCPHD4d/oqeA=='
              container_name: my_container
            - account_name: my_storage
              sas_token: 'ss=b&sp=&sv=2015-07-08&sig=cohxXabx8FQdXsSEHyUXMjsSfNH2tZ2OB97Ou44pkRE%3D&srt=co&se=2017-04-18T21%3A38%3A01Z'
              container_name: my_dev_container
              saltenv: dev
            - account_name: my_storage
              container_name: my_public_container

       NOTE:
          Do not include the leading ? for sas_token if generated from the web

   salt.fileserver.gitfs
       Git Fileserver Backend

       With this backend, branches and tags in a remote git repository are  exposed  to  salt  as
       different environments.

       To enable, add gitfs to the fileserver_backend option in the Master config file.

          fileserver_backend:
            - gitfs

       NOTE:
          git also works here. Prior to the 2018.3.0 release, only git would work.

       The  Git  fileserver  backend  supports  both  pygit2 and GitPython, to provide the Python
       interface to git. If both are present, the order of  preference  for  which  one  will  be
       chosen is the same as the order in which they were listed: pygit2, then GitPython.

       An optional master config parameter (gitfs_provider) can be used to specify which provider
       should be used, in the event that compatible versions of both  pygit2  and  GitPython  are
       installed.

       More detailed information on how to use GitFS can be found in the GitFS Walkthrough.

       NOTE:
          Minimum requirements

          To  use  pygit2  for  GitFS requires a minimum pygit2 version of 0.20.3.  pygit2 0.20.3
          requires libgit2 0.20.0. pygit2 and libgit2 are developed alongside one another, so  it
          is  recommended  to  keep  them  both  at  the  same  major release to avoid unexpected
          behavior. For example, pygit2  0.21.x  requires  libgit2  0.21.x,  pygit2  0.22.x  will
          require libgit2 0.22.x, etc.

          To  use  GitPython  for GitFS requires a minimum GitPython version of 0.3.0, as well as
          the git CLI utility. Instructions for installing GitPython can be found here.

          To clear stale refs the git CLI utility must also be installed.

   salt.fileserver.hgfs
       Mercurial Fileserver Backend

       To enable, add hgfs to the fileserver_backend option in the Master config file.

          fileserver_backend:
            - hgfs

       NOTE:
          hg also works here. Prior to the 2018.3.0 release, only hg would work.

       After enabling  this  backend,  branches,  bookmarks,  and  tags  in  a  remote  mercurial
       repository  are  exposed to salt as different environments. This feature is managed by the
       fileserver_backend option in the salt master config file.

       This fileserver has an additional option hgfs_branch_method  that  will  set  the  desired
       branch  method.  Possible  values are: branches, bookmarks, or mixed. If using branches or
       mixed, the default branch will be mapped to base.

       Changed in version 2014.1.0: The hgfs_base master config parameter was added, allowing for
       a  branch  other than default to be used for the base environment, and allowing for a base
       environment to be specified when using an hgfs_branch_method of bookmarks.

   salt.fileserver.minionfs
       Fileserver backend which serves files pushed to the Master

       The cp.push function allows Minions to push files up to the Master.  Using  this  backend,
       these pushed files are exposed to other Minions via the Salt fileserver.

       To enable minionfs, file_recv needs to be set to True in the master config file (otherwise
       cp.push will not be allowed to push files to the Master), and minionfs must  be  added  to
       the fileserver_backends list.

          fileserver_backend:
            - minionfs

       NOTE:
          minion also works here. Prior to the 2018.3.0 release, only minion would work.

       Other     minionfs     settings     include:    minionfs_whitelist,    minionfs_blacklist,
       minionfs_mountpoint, and minionfs_env.

   salt.fileserver.roots
       The default file server backend

       This  fileserver  backend  serves  files  from   the   Master's   local   filesystem.   If
       fileserver_backend  is not defined in the Master config file, then this backend is enabled
       by default. If it is defined then roots must be in the fileserver_backend list  to  enable
       this backend.

          fileserver_backend:
            - roots

       Fileserver environments are defined using the file_roots configuration option.

   salt.fileserver.s3fs
       Amazon S3 Fileserver Backend

       New in version 0.16.0.

       This  backend  exposes  directories  in  S3  buckets  as Salt environments. To enable this
       backend, add s3fs to the fileserver_backend option in the Master config file.

          fileserver_backend:
            - s3fs

       S3 credentials must also be set in the master config file:

          s3.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
          s3.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

       Alternatively, if on EC2 these credentials  can  be  automatically  loaded  from  instance
       metadata.

       This fileserver supports two modes of operation for the buckets:

       1. A single bucket per environment

             s3.buckets:
               production:
                 - bucket1
                 - bucket2
               staging:
                 - bucket3
                 - bucket4

       2. Multiple environments per bucket

             s3.buckets:
               - bucket1
               - bucket2
               - bucket3
               - bucket4

       Note  that  bucket  names  must  be  all  lowercase  both  in the AWS console and in Salt,
       otherwise you may encounter SignatureDoesNotMatch errors.

       A multiple-environment bucket must adhere to the following root directory structure:

          s3://<bucket name>/<environment>/<files>

       NOTE:
          This fileserver back-end requires the use of the MD5 hashing algorithm.  MD5 may not be
          compliant with all security policies.

       NOTE:
          This  fileserver  back-end  is only compatible with MD5 ETag hashes in the S3 metadata.
          This means that you must use SSE-S3 or plaintext for bucket encryption,  and  that  you
          must  not  use  multipart  upload when uploading to your bucket. More information here:
          https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/RESTCommonResponseHeaders.html

          Objects without an MD5 ETag will be fetched on every fileserver update.

          If you deal with objects greater than 8MB, then you should use the  following  AWS  CLI
          config to avoid mutipart upload:

              s3 =
                multipart_threshold = 1024MB

          More info here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/topic/s3-config.html

   salt.fileserver.svnfs
       Subversion Fileserver Backend

       After  enabling  this  backend,  branches  and  tags in a remote subversion repository are
       exposed to salt as different environments. To  enable  this  backend,  add  svnfs  to  the
       fileserver_backend option in the Master config file.

          fileserver_backend:
            - svnfs

       NOTE:
          svn also works here. Prior to the 2018.3.0 release, only svn would work.

       This backend assumes a standard svn layout with directories for branches, tags, and trunk,
       at the repository root.

       depends

              • subversion

              • pysvn

       Changed in version 2014.7.0: The paths to the trunk, branches, and  tags  have  been  made
       configurable,   via  the  config  options  svnfs_trunk,  svnfs_branches,  and  svnfs_tags.
       svnfs_mountpoint was also added. Finally, support for per-remote configuration  parameters
       was added. See the documentation for more information.

   salt.grains.core
       The static grains, these are the core, or built in grains.

       When  grains are loaded they are not loaded in the same way that modules are loaded, grain
       functions are detected and executed, the functions  MUST  return  a  dict  which  will  be
       applied  to  the  main grains dict. This module will always be executed first, so that any
       grains loaded here in the core module can be overwritten just by returning dict keys  with
       the same value as those returned here

              Return append_domain if set

       salt.grains.core.cwd()
              Current working directory

       salt.grains.core.default_gateway()
              Populates  grains  which describe whether a server has a default gateway configured
              or not. Uses ip -4 route show and ip -6 route show and greps for a default  at  the
              beginning  of  any  line. Assuming the standard default via <ip> format for default
              gateways, it will also parse out the ip address of the default gateway, and put  it
              in ip4_gw or ip6_gw.

              If the ip command is unavailable, no grains will be populated.

              Currently does not support multiple default gateways. The grains will be set to the
              first default gateway found.

              List of grains:
                 ip4_gw:  True   #  ip/True/False  if  default  ipv4  gateway  ip6_gw:  True    #
                 ip/True/False  if  default  ipv6  gateway  ip_gw: True   # True if either of the
                 above is True, False otherwise

       salt.grains.core.dns()
              Parse the resolver configuration file
                 New in version 2016.3.0.

       salt.grains.core.fqdns()
              Return all known FQDNs for the system by enumerating all interfaces and then trying
              to  reverse  resolve  them (excluding 'lo' interface).  To disable the fqdns grain,
              set enable_fqdns_grains: False in the minion configuration file.

       salt.grains.core.get_machine_id()
              Provide the machine-id for machine/virtualization combination

       salt.grains.core.get_master()
              Provides the minion with the name of its master.   This  is  useful  in  states  to
              target other services running on the master.

       salt.grains.core.get_server_id()
              Provides  an  integer based on the FQDN of a machine.  Useful as server-id in MySQL
              replication or anywhere else you'll need an ID like this.

       salt.grains.core.hostname()
              Return fqdn, hostname, domainname

              NOTE:
                 On Windows the domain grain may refer to the dns entry for the host  instead  of
                 the  Windows  domain  to which the host is joined. It may also be empty if not a
                 part of any domain. Refer to the windowsdomain grain instead

       salt.grains.core.hwaddr_interfaces()
              Provide a dict of the connected interfaces and their hw addresses (Mac Address)

       salt.grains.core.id_()
              Return the id

   salt.grains.fx2
       Generate baseline proxy minion grains for Dell FX2 chassis.  The challenge is that most of

   DependenciesNAPALM proxy module

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       salt.grains.napalm.getos(proxy=None)
              Returns the Operating System name running on the network device.

              Example: junos, iosxr, eos, ios etc.

              CLI Example - select all network devices running JunOS:

                 salt -G 'os:junos' test.ping

       salt.grains.napalm.host(proxy=None)
              This  grain  is set by the NAPALM grain module only when running in a proxy minion.
              When Salt is installed directly on the  network  device,  thus  running  a  regular
              minion,  the host grain provides the physical hostname of the network device, as it
              would be on an ordinary minion server.  When running in a proxy minion, host points
              to the value configured in the pillar: NAPALM proxy module.

              NOTE:
                 The  diference  between  host  and  hostname  is that host provides the physical
                 location - either domain  name  or  IP  address,  while  hostname  provides  the
                 hostname as configured on the device.  They are not necessarily the same.

              New in version 2017.7.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'device*' grains.get host

              Output:

                 device1:

              • AAAAA

              NOTE:
                 This grain is disabled by default, as the proxy startup may be slower  when  the
                 lookup fails.  The user can enable it using the napalm_host_dns_grain option (in
                 the pillar or proxy configuration file):

                     napalm_host_dns_grain: true

              New in version 2017.7.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'device*' grains.get host_dns

              Output:

   salt.modules.acme
   ACME / Let's Encrypt module
       New in version 2016.3.

       This  module currently looks for certbot script in the $PATH as - certbot, - lestsencrypt,
       -     certbot-auto,     -     letsencrypt-auto     eventually      falls      back      to
       /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto

       NOTE:
          Installation  & configuration of the Let's Encrypt client can for example be done using
          https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/letsencrypt-formula

       WARNING:
          Be sure to set at least accept-tos = True in cli.ini!

       Most parameters will fall back to cli.ini defaults if None is given.

   DNS plugins
       This module currently  supports  the  CloudFlare  certbot  DNS  plugin.   The  DNS  plugin
       credentials file needs to be passed in using the dns_plugin_credentials argument.

       Make  sure  the appropriate certbot plugin for the wanted DNS provider is installed before
       using this module.

   salt.modules.apache
       Support for Apache

       NOTE:
          The functions in here are generic functions designed to work with  all  implementations
          of Apache. Debian-specific functions have been moved into deb_apache.py, but will still
          load under the apache namespace when a Debian-based system is detected.

       salt.modules.apache.config(name, config, edit=True)
              Create VirtualHost configuration files

              name   File for the virtual host

              config VirtualHost configurations

              NOTE:
                 This function is not meant to be used from the command line.  Config is meant to
                 be an ordered dict of all of the apache configs.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' apache.config /etc/httpd/conf.d/ports.conf config="[{'Listen': '22'}]"

       salt.modules.apache.directives()
              Return  list  of  directives  together with expected arguments and places where the
              directive is valid (apachectl -L)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' apache.directives

       salt.modules.apache.fullversion()
              Return server version (apachectl -V)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' apache.fullversion

       salt.modules.apache.modules()
              Return list of static and shared modules (apachectl -M)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' apache.modules

       salt.modules.apache.server_status(profile='default')
              Get Information from the Apache server-status handler

              NOTE:
                 The server-status handler is disabled by default.  In order for this function to
                 work         it         needs         to         be         enabled.         See
                 http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_status.html

              The following configuration needs to exists in pillar/grains.  Each entry nested in
              apache.server-status  is  a profile of a vhost/server.  This would give support for
              multiple apache servers/vhosts.

                 apache.server-status:
                   default:
                     url: http://localhost/server-status
                     user: someuser
                     pass: password
                     realm: 'authentication realm for digest passwords'
                     timeout: 5

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' apache.server_status
                 salt '*' apache.server_status other-profile

       salt.modules.apache.servermods()
              Return list of modules compiled into the server (apachectl -l)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' apache.servermods

       salt.modules.apache.signal(signal=None)
              Signals httpd to start, restart, or stop.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' apache.signal restart

       salt.modules.apache.useradd(pwfile, user, password, opts='')
              Add HTTP user using the htpasswd command. If the htpasswd file does not  exist,  it
              will be created. Valid options that can be passed are:

                 n  Don't update file; display results on stdout.
                 m  Force MD5 hashing of the password (default).
                 d  Force CRYPT(3) hashing of the password.
                 p  Do not hash the password (plaintext).
                 s  Force SHA1 hashing of the password.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' apache.useradd /etc/httpd/htpasswd larry badpassword
                 salt '*' apache.useradd /etc/httpd/htpasswd larry badpass opts=ns

       salt.modules.apache.userdel(pwfile, user)
              Delete HTTP user from the specified htpasswd file.

              CLI Example:

              Show  the  settings  as  parsed  from  the  config  file  (currently only shows the
              virtualhost settings) (apachectl -S).  Because each additional virtual host adds to
              the  execution  time, this command may require a long timeout be specified by using
              -t 10.

              CLI Example:

                 salt -t 10 '*' apache.vhosts

                 salt '*' pkg.get_selections state=hold
                 salt '*' pkg.get_selections 'openssh*' state=hold

       salt.modules.aptpkg.hold(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Set package in 'hold' state, meaning it will not be upgraded.

              name   The name of the package, e.g., 'tmux'

                     CLI Example:

                     Defaults to True.

                     New in version 2016.11.3.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1>
                 salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

       debconf=None,    pkgs=None,     sources=None,     reinstall=False,     downloadonly=False,
       ignore_epoch=False, **kwargs)
              Changed  in  version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions running systemd>=205,
              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from
              the  salt-minion  daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd from killing
              any  apt-get/dpkg  commands  spawned  by  Salt  when  the  salt-minion  service  is
              restarted.  (see  KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If
              desired, usage of systemd-run(1) can be  suppressed  by  setting  a  config  option
              called systemd.scope, with a value of False (no quotes).

              Install the passed package, add refresh=True to update the dpkg database.

              name   The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored
                     if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this
                     option  can  only be used to install packages from a software repository. To
                     install a package file manually, use the "sources" option.

                     32-bit packages  can  be  installed  on  64-bit  systems  by  appending  the
                     architecture designation (:i386, etc.) to the end of the package name.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

              refresh
                     Whether or not to refresh the package database before installing.

              cache_valid_time
                 New in version 2016.11.0.

                 Skip  refreshing  the  package  database  if refresh has already occurred within
                 <value> seconds

              fromrepo
                     Specify a package repository to install  from  (e.g.,  apt-get  -t  unstable
                     install somepackage)

              skip_verify
                     Skip   the   GPG   verification  check  (e.g.,  --allow-unauthenticated,  or
                     --force-bad-verify for install from package file).

              debconf
                     Provide the path to a debconf answers file, processed before installation.

              version
                     Install a specific version of the package, e.g. 1.2.3~0ubuntu0.  Ignored  if
                     "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

                     Changed  in  version  2018.3.0: version can now contain comparison operators
                     (e.g. >1.2.3, <=2.0, etc.)

              reinstall
                     False Specifying reinstall=True will use apt-get install --reinstall  rather
                     than  simply  apt-get  install  for  requested  packages  that  are  already
                     installed.

                     If a version is specified with the requested package, then  apt-get  install
                     --reinstall will only be used if the installed version matches the requested
                     version.

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              ignore_epoch
                     False Only used  when  the  version  of  a  package  is  specified  using  a
                     comparison  operator  (e.g.  >4.1).  If  set to True, then the epoch will be
                     ignored when  comparing  the  currently-installed  version  to  the  desired
                     version.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              Multiple Package Installation Options:

              pkgs   A  list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as
                     a python list.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-0ubuntu0"}]'

              sources
                     A list of DEB packages to install. Must be passed as a list of  dicts,  with
                     the  keys  being package names, and the values being the source URI or local
                     path to the package.  Dependencies are automatically resolved and marked  as
                     auto-installed.

                     32-bit  packages  can  be  installed  on  64-bit  systems  by  appending the
                     architecture designation (:i386, etc.) to the end of the package name.

                     Changed in version 2014.7.0.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.deb"},{"bar": "salt://bar.deb"}]'

              force_yes
                     Passes --force-yes to the apt-get command.  Don't use this unless  you  know
                     what you're doing.

              force_conf_new
                     Always install the new version of any configuration files.

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                'new': '<new-version>'}}

       salt.modules.aptpkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              Return   the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or
              installation. If more than one package name is specified, a  dict  of  name/version
              pairs is returned.

              If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will
              be returned for that package.

              A specific repo can be requested using the fromrepo keyword argument.

              cache_valid_time
                 New in version 2016.11.0.

                 Skip refreshing the package database if  refresh  has  already  occurred  within
                 <value> seconds

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name> fromrepo=unstable

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_downloaded

       salt.modules.aptpkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False,  removed=False, purge_desired=False,
       **kwargs)
              List the packages currently installed in a dict:

                 {'<package_name>': '<version>'}

              removed
                     If True, then only packages which have been removed (but not purged) will be
                     returned.

              purge_desired
                     If  True,  then only packages which have been marked to be purged, but can't
                     be purged due to their status as dependencies for other installed  packages,
                     will be returned. Note that these packages will appear in installed

                     Changed in version 2014.1.1: Packages in this state now correctly show up in
                     the output of this function.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs

       salt.modules.aptpkg.list_repo_pkgs(*args, **kwargs)
              New in version 2017.7.0.

              Returns all available packages. Optionally, package names (and name globs)  can  be
              passed and the results will be filtered to packages matching those names.

              This  function  can  be  helpful in discovering the version or repo to specify in a
              pkg.installed state.

              The return data will be a dictionary mapping package names to  a  list  of  version
              numbers, ordered from newest to oldest. For example:

                 {
                     'bash': ['4.3-14ubuntu1.1',
                              '4.3-14ubuntu1'],

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades

       salt.modules.aptpkg.mod_repo(repo, saltenv='base', **kwargs)
              Modify one or more values for a repo.  If the repo  does  not  exist,  it  will  be
              created,   so   long   as   the   definition   is  well  formed.   For  Ubuntu  the
              ppa:<project>/repo format is acceptable. ppa: format can only be used to  create  a
              new repository.

              The following options are available to modify a repo definition:

              architectures
                     A comma-separated list of supported architectures, e.g. amd64 If this option
                     is not set, all architectures (configured in the system) will be used.

              comps  A comma separated list of components for the repo, e.g. main

              file   A file name to be used

              keyserver
                     Keyserver to get gpg key from

              keyid  Key ID or a list of key IDs to load with the keyserver argument

              key_url
                     URL to a GPG key to add to the APT GPG keyring

              key_text
                     GPG key in string form to add to the APT GPG keyring

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              consolidate
                     False If True, will attempt to de-duplicate and consolidate sources

              comments
                     Sometimes you want to supply additional  information,  but  not  as  enabled
                     configuration.  All  comments  provided  here  will  be joined into a single
                     string and appended to the repo configuration  with  a  comment  marker  (#)
                     before it.

                     New in version 2015.8.9.

              refresh
                     True  Enable  or  disable  (True  or  False)  refreshing  of the apt package
                     database. The previous  refresh_db  argument  was  deprecated  in  favor  of
                     refresh`.  The  refresh_db  argument  will  still continue to work to ensure
                     backwards compatibility, but please change to using the preferred refresh.

              NOTE:
                 Due to the way keys are stored for APT, there is a known  issue  where  the  key
                 won't  be updated unless another change is made at the same time. Keys should be
                 properly added on initial configuration.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.mod_repo 'myrepo definition' uri=http://new/uri
                 salt '*' pkg.mod_repo 'myrepo definition' comps=main,universe

              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Return the name of the package that owns the  file.  Multiple  file  paths  can  be
              passed.  Like  pkg.version,  if a single path is passed, a string will be returned,
              and if multiple paths are passed, a dictionary of file/package name pairs  will  be
              returned.

              If  the  file  is  not owned by a package, or is not present on the minion, then an
              empty string will be returned for that path.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl
                 salt '*' pkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl /usr/bin/basename

       salt.modules.aptpkg.parse_arch(name)
              Parse name and architecture from the specified package name.

              any  apt-get/dpkg  commands  spawned  by  Salt  when  the  salt-minion  service  is
              restarted. (see KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more  information).  If
              desired,  usage  of  systemd-run(1)  can  be  suppressed by setting a config option
              called systemd.scope, with a value of False (no quotes).

              Remove packages via apt-get purge along with all configuration files.

              name   The name of the package to be deleted.

              Multiple Package Options:

              pkgs   A list of packages to delete. Must be passed as  a  python  list.  The  name
                     parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

              New in version 0.16.0.

              Returns a dict containing the changes.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.purge <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.purge <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
                 salt '*' pkg.purge pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.aptpkg.refresh_db(cache_valid_time=0, failhard=False, **kwargs)
              Updates the APT database to latest packages based upon repositories

              Returns  a  dict,  with  the  keys being package databases and the values being the
              result of the update attempt. Values can be one of the following:

              • True: Database updated successfully

              • False: Problem updating database

              • None: Database already up-to-date

              cache_valid_time
                 New in version 2016.11.0.

                 Skip refreshing the package database if  refresh  has  already  occurred  within
                 <value> seconds

              failhard
                 If  False,  return  results  of Err lines as False for the package database that
                 encountered the error.  If True, raise an error  with  a  list  of  the  package
                 databases that encountered errors.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.refresh_db

       salt.modules.aptpkg.remove(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)
              Changed  in  version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions running systemd>=205,
              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from
              the  salt-minion  daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd from killing
              any  apt-get/dpkg  commands  spawned  by  Salt  when  the  salt-minion  service  is

              Remove packages using apt-get remove.

              name   The name of the package to be deleted.

              Multiple Package Options:

              pkgs   A  list  of  packages  to  delete. Must be passed as a python list. The name
                     parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

              New in version 0.16.0.

              Returns a dict containing the changes.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.remove <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.remove <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
                 salt '*' pkg.remove pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.aptpkg.services_need_restart(**kwargs)
              New in version 3003.

              List services that use files which have been changed by  the  package  manager.  It
              might be needed to restart them.

              Requires checkrestart from the debian-goodies package.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.services_need_restart

       salt.modules.aptpkg.set_selections(path=None, selection=None, clear=False, saltenv='base')
              Change package state in the dpkg database.

              The state can be any one of, documented in dpkg(1):

              • install

              • hold

              • deinstall

              • purge

              This  command  is  commonly  used  to  mark specific packages to be held from being
              upgraded, that is, to be kept at a certain version. When  a  state  is  changed  to
              anything   but   being   held,   then  it  is  typically  followed  by  apt-get  -u
              dselect-upgrade.

              Note: Be careful with the clear argument, since it  will  start  with  setting  all
              packages to deinstall state.

              Returns a dict of dicts containing the package names, and the new and old versions:

                 {'<host>':
                     {'<package>': {'new': '<new-state>',
                                    'old': '<old-state>'}
                     },
                     ...
                 }

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.set_selections selection='{"install": ["netcat"]}'
                 salt '*' pkg.set_selections selection='{"hold": ["openssh-server", "openssh-client"]}'
                 salt '*' pkg.set_selections salt://path/to/file

              Runs  an  apt-cache  show on the passed package names, and returns the results in a
              nested dictionary. The top level of the return data will be the package name,  with
              each  package  name  mapping  to  a dictionary of version numbers to any additional
              information returned by apt-cache show.

              filter An optional comma-separated list (or quoted Python list) of case-insensitive
                     keys  on  which  to  filter.  This  allows  one  to restrict the information
                     returned for each package to a smaller selection of pertinent items.

              refresh
                     False If True, the apt cache will be refreshed first. By default, no refresh
                     is performed.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion pkg.show gawk
                 salt myminion pkg.show 'nginx-*'
                 salt myminion pkg.show 'nginx-*' filter=description,provides

       salt.modules.aptpkg.unhold(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              name   The name of the package, e.g., 'tmux'

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.unhold <package name>

              pkgs   A list of packages to unhold. Must be passed as a python list.

              dist_upgrade
                     Whether to perform the upgrade using dist-upgrade vs upgrade.  Default is to
                     use upgrade.

                     New in version 2014.7.0.

              refresh
                     True  If  True,  the  apt cache will be refreshed first. By default, this is
                     True and a refresh is performed.

              cache_valid_time
                 New in version 2016.11.0.

                 Skip refreshing the package database if  refresh  has  already  occurred  within
                 <value> seconds

              download_only (or downloadonly)
                     Only  download  the packages, don't unpack or install them. Use downloadonly

   salt.modules.archive
       A module to wrap (non-Windows) archive calls

       New in version 2014.1.0.

       salt.modules.archive.cmd_unzip(zip_file, dest, excludes=None, options=None, template=None,
       runas=None, trim_output=False, password=None)
              New  in version 2015.5.0: In versions 2014.7.x and earlier, this function was known
              as archive.unzip.

              Uses the unzip command to unpack zip files. This command is part  of  the  Info-ZIP
              suite of tools, and is typically packaged as simply unzip.

              zip_file
                     Path of zip file to be unpacked

              dest   The destination directory into which the file should be unpacked

              excludes
                     None  Comma-separated  list  of files not to unpack. Can also be passed in a
                     Python list.

              template
                     None Can be set to 'jinja' or another supported template  engine  to  render
                     the command arguments before execution:

                        salt '*' archive.cmd_unzip template=jinja /tmp/zipfile.zip '/tmp/{{grains.id}}' excludes=file_1,file_2

              options
                     Optional  when  using zip archives, ignored when usign other archives files.
                     This is mostly used to overwrite existing files with o.   This  options  are
                     only used when unzip binary is used.

                     New in version 2016.3.1.

              runas  None  Unpack  the zip file as the specified user. Defaults to the user under
                     which the minion is running.

                     New in version 2015.5.0.

              trim_output
                     False The number of files we should output on success before  the  rest  are
                     trimmed, if this is set to True then it will default to 100

              password
                     Password to use with password protected zip files

                     NOTE:
                        This  is  not  considered  secure.  It  is  recommended  to  instead  use
                        archive.unzip for password-protected ZIP files. If  a  password  is  used
                        here, then the unzip command run to extract the ZIP file will not show up
                        in the minion log like most shell commands Salt  runs  do.  However,  the
                        password  will still be present in the events logged to the minion log at
                        the debug log level. If the minion is logging at debug (or more verbose),
                        then be advised that the password will appear in the log.

       salt.modules.archive.cmd_zip(zip_file, sources, template=None, cwd=None, runas=None)
              New  in version 2015.5.0: In versions 2014.7.x and earlier, this function was known
              as archive.zip.

              Uses the zip command to create zip files. This command  is  part  of  the  Info-ZIP
              suite of tools, and is typically packaged as simply zip.

              zip_file
                     Path of zip file to be created

              sources
                     Comma-separated list of sources to include in the zip file. Sources can also
                     be passed in a Python list.

                     Changed in version 2017.7.0: Globbing is now supported for this argument

                        salt '*' archive.cmd_zip template=jinja /tmp/zipfile.zip /tmp/sourcefile1,/tmp/{{grains.id}}.txt

              cwd    None  Use  this  argument along with relative paths in sources to create zip
                     files which do not contain the leading directories. If  not  specified,  the
                     zip  file  will  be  created as if the cwd was /, and creating a zip file of
                     /foo/bar/baz.txt will contain the parent directories foo and bar. To  create
                     a zip file containing just baz.txt, the following command would be used:

                        salt '*' archive.cmd_zip /tmp/baz.zip baz.txt cwd=/foo/bar

              specified file is not a ZIP archive, an error will be raised.

              name   The path / URL of the archive to check.

              clean  False Set this value to True to delete the path referred to by name once the
                     contents have been listed. This option should be used with care.

                     NOTE:
                        If there is an error listing the archive's contents, the cached file will
                        not be removed, to allow for troubleshooting.

              saltenv
                     base  Specifies  the  fileserver environment from which to retrieve archive.
                     This is only applicable when archive is a file from the salt:// fileserver.

              source_hash
                     If name is an http(s)/ftp URL and the  file  exists  in  the  minion's  file
                     cache,  this option can be passed to keep the minion from re-downloading the
                     archive if the cached copy matches the specified hash.

              New in version 2016.11.0.

              Changed  in  version  2016.11.2:  The  rarfile  Python  module is now supported for
              listing the contents of rar archives. This  is  necessary  on  minions  with  older
              releases  of  the  rar  CLI  tool,  which  do not support listing the contents in a
              parsable format.

              List the files and directories in an tar, zip, or rar archive.

              NOTE:
                 This function will only provide results for XZ-compressed archives if the xz CLI
                 command  is  available,  as  Python  does  not  at this time natively support XZ
                 compression in its tarfile module. Keep in mind however that most Linux  distros
                 ship with xz already installed.

                 To check if a given minion has xz, the following Salt command can be run:

                     salt minion_id cmd.which xz

                 If None is returned, then xz is not present and must be installed.  It is widely
                 available and should be packaged as either xz or xz-utils.

              name   Path/URL of archive

              archive_format
                     Specify the format of the archive (tar, zip, or rar). If  this  argument  is
                     omitted,  the  archive format will be guessed based on the value of the name
                     parameter.

              options
                     For tar archives only. This function  will,  by  default,  try  to  use  the
                     tarfile   module  from  the  Python  standard  library  to  get  a  list  of
                     files/directories. If this method fails, then it will fall back to using the
                     shell  to decompress the archive to stdout and pipe the results to tar -tf -
                     to produce a list of filenames. XZ-compressed archives are already supported
                     automatically,  but  in the event that the tar archive uses a different sort
                     of compression not supported natively by tarfile, this option can be used to
                     specify a command that will decompress the archive to stdout. For example:

                        salt minion_id archive.list /path/to/foo.tar.gz options='gzip --decompress --stdout'

                     NOTE:
                        It  is not necessary to manually specify options for gzip'ed archives, as
                        gzip compression is natively supported by tarfile.

              strip_components
                     This argument specifies a number of top-level directories to strip from  the
                     results.   This  is  similar  to  the  paths  that  would  be  extracted  if
                     --strip-components (or --strip) were used when extracting tar archives.

                     New in version 2016.11.2.

              clean  False Set this value to True to delete the path referred to by name once the
                     contents have been listed. This option should be used with care.

                     NOTE:
                        If there is an error listing the archive's contents, the cached file will
                        not be removed, to allow for troubleshooting.

              verbose
                     False If False, this function will  return  a  list  of  files/dirs  in  the
                     archive.  If  True,  it will return a dictionary categorizing the paths into
                     separate  keys  containing  the  directory  names,  file  names,  and   also
                     directories/files present in the top level of the archive.

                     Changed in version 2016.11.2: This option now includes symlinks in their own
                     list. Before, they were included with files.

              saltenv
                     base Specifies the fileserver environment from which  to  retrieve  archive.
                     This is only applicable when archive is a file from the salt:// fileserver.

              source_hash
                     If  name  is  an  http(s)/ftp  URL  and the file exists in the minion's file
                     cache, this option can be passed to keep the minion from re-downloading  the
                     archive if the cached copy matches the specified hash.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              CLI Examples:

       salt.modules.archive.rar(rarfile, sources, template=None, cwd=None, runas=None)
              Uses rar for Linux to create rar files

              rarfile
                     Path of rar file to be created

              sources
                     Comma-separated list of sources to include in the rar file. Sources can also
                     be passed in a Python list.

                     Changed in version 2017.7.0: Globbing is now supported for this argument

              cwd    None Run the rar command from the specified  directory.  Use  this  argument
                     along  with relative file paths to create rar files which do not contain the
                     leading directories. If  not  specified,  this  will  default  to  the  home
                     directory of the user under which the salt minion process is running.

                     New in version 2014.7.1.

              template
                     None  Can  be  set to 'jinja' or another supported template engine to render
                     the command arguments before execution:

                        salt '*' archive.rar template=jinja /tmp/rarfile.rar '/tmp/sourcefile1,/tmp/{{grains.id}}.txt'

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' archive.rar /tmp/rarfile.rar /tmp/sourcefile1,/tmp/sourcefile2
                 # Globbing for sources (2017.7.0 and later)

       salt.modules.archive.tar(options,    tarfile,    sources=None,    dest=None,     cwd=None,
       template=None, runas=None)

              NOTE:
                 This  function  has  changed  for version 0.17.0. In prior versions, the cwd and
                 template arguments must be specified, with the source  directories/files  coming
                 as  a  space-separated  list  at  the end of the command. Beginning with 0.17.0,
                 sources must be a comma-separated list, and the cwd and template  arguments  are
                 optional.

              Uses the tar command to pack, unpack, etc. tar files

              options
                     Options to pass to the tar command

                     Changed in version 2015.8.0: The mandatory - prefixing has been removed.  An
                     options   string   beginning    with    a    --long-option,    would    have
                     uncharacteristically needed its first - removed under the former scheme.

                     Also,  tar will parse its options differently if short options are used with
                     or without a preceding -, so it is better  to  not  confuse  the  user  into
                     thinking  they're  using  the  non--  format, when really they are using the
                     with-- format.

              tarfile
                     The filename of the tar archive to pack/unpack

              sources
                     Comma delimited list of files to pack into the tarfile. Can also  be  passed
                     as a Python list.

                     Changed in version 2017.7.0: Globbing is now supported for this argument

              dest   The destination directory into which to unpack the tarfile

              cwd    None  The  directory  in  which  the  tar command should be executed. If not
                     specified, will default to the home directory of the user  under  which  the
                     salt minion process is running.

              template
                     None  Can  be  set to 'jinja' or another supported template engine to render
                     the command arguments before execution:

                        salt '*' archive.tar cjvf /tmp/salt.tar.bz2 {{grains.saltpath}} template=jinja

              CLI Examples:

                 # Create a tarfile
                 salt '*' archive.tar cjvf /tmp/tarfile.tar.bz2 /tmp/file_1,/tmp/file_2

       salt.modules.archive.unrar(rarfile,  dest,   excludes=None,   template=None,   runas=None,
       trim_output=False)
              Uses rar for Linux to unpack rar files

              rarfile
                     Name of rar file to be unpacked

              dest   The destination directory into which to unpack the rar file

              template
                     None  Can  be  set to 'jinja' or another supported template engine to render

              trim_output
                     False The number of files we should output on success before  the  rest  are
                     trimmed, if this is set to True then it will default to 100

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' archive.unrar /tmp/rarfile.rar /home/strongbad/ excludes=file_1,file_2

       salt.modules.archive.unzip(zip_file,  dest,  excludes=None,  options=None,  template=None,
       runas=None, trim_output=False, password=None, extract_perms=True)
              Uses the zipfile Python module to unpack zip files

              Changed in version 2015.5.0: This function was rewritten to use Python's native zip
              file  support.   The  old  functionality  has  been  preserved  in the new function
              archive.cmd_unzip. For versions  2014.7.x  and  earlier,  see  the  archive.cmd_zip
              documentation.

              excludes
                     None  Comma-separated  list  of files not to unpack. Can also be passed in a
                     Python list.

              options
                     This options are only used when unzip binary is used. In  this  function  is
                     ignored.

              runas  None Unpack the zip file as the specified user. Defaults to the  user  under
                     which the minion is running.

              trim_output
                     False  The  number  of files we should output on success before the rest are
                     trimmed, if this is set to True then it will default to 100

                     Password to use with password protected zip files

                     NOTE:
                        The password will be present in the events logged to the minion log  file
                        at  the  debug  log  level.  If  the  minion is logging at debug (or more
                        verbose), then be advised that the password will appear in the log.

              extract_perms
                     True The Python zipfile module does not extract file/directory attributes by
                     default.  When  this argument is set to True, Salt will attempt to apply the
                     file permission attributes to the extracted files/folders.

                     On Windows, only the read-only flag will be extracted as set within the  zip
                     file, other attributes (i.e. user/group permissions) are ignored.

                     Set this argument to False to disable this behavior.

                     New in version 2016.11.0.

              template
                     None Can be set to 'jinja' or another supported template  engine  to  render
                     the command arguments before execution:

                        salt '*' archive.zip template=jinja /tmp/zipfile.zip /tmp/sourcefile1,/tmp/{{grains.id}}.txt

              cwd    None  Use  this  argument along with relative paths in sources to create zip
                     files which do not contain the leading directories. If  not  specified,  the
                     zip  file  will  be  created as if the cwd was /, and creating a zip file of
                     /foo/bar/baz.txt will contain the parent directories foo and bar. To  create
                     a zip file containing just baz.txt, the following command would be used:

                        salt '*' archive.zip /tmp/baz.zip baz.txt cwd=/foo/bar

              runas  None  Create  the zip file as the specified user. Defaults to the user under
                     which the minion is running.

              zip64  False Used to enable ZIP64 support, necessary to create archives larger than
                     4  GByte  in  size.  If true, will create ZIP file with the ZIPp64 extension
                     when the zipfile is larger than  2  GB.   ZIP64  extension  is  disabled  by
                     default  in  the Python native zip support because the default zip and unzip
                     commands on Unix (the InfoZIP utilities) don't support these extensions.

       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Execution module to interface the connection  with  Arista  switches,  connecting  to  the
       remote  network  device  using  the  pyeapi  library. It is flexible enough to execute the
       commands both when running under an Arista Proxy  Minion,  as  well  as  running  under  a
       Regular  Minion by specifying the connection arguments, i.e., device_type, host, username,
       password etc.

       NOTE:
          To  understand  how  to  correctly  enable  the  eAPI  on  your  switch,  please  check
          https://eos.arista.com/arista-eapi-101/.

   Dependencies
       The  pyeapi Execution module requires the Python Client for eAPI (pyeapi) to be installed:
       pip install pyeapi.

   Usage
       This module can equally be used via the pyeapi Proxy module or directly from an  arbitrary
       (Proxy)  Minion  that is running on a machine having access to the network device API, and
       the pyeapi library is installed.

       When running outside of the pyeapi Proxy (i.e., from another Proxy Minion type, or regular
       Minion),  the  pyeapi  connection  arguments  can  be  either  specified from the CLI when
       executing the  command,  or  in  a  configuration  block  under  the  pyeapi  key  in  the
       configuration  opts  (i.e.,  (Proxy)  Minion  configuration  file),  or Pillar. The module
       supports these simultaneously. These fields are the exact same  supported  by  the  pyeapi
       Proxy Module:

       transport: https
              Specifies  the type of connection transport to use. Valid values for the connection
              are socket, http_local, http, and  https.

       host: localhost
              The IP address or DNS host name of the connection device.

       username: admin
              The username to pass to the device to authenticate the eAPI connection.

       password
              The password to pass to the device to authenticate the eAPI connection.

       port   The TCP port of the endpoint for the  eAPI  connection.  If  this  keyword  is  not
              specified,  the default value is automatically determined by the transport type (80
              for http, or 443 for https).

       enablepwd
              The enable mode password if required by the destination node.

       Example (when not running in a pyeapi Proxy Minion):

          pyeapi:
            username: test
            password: test

       In case the username and password are the same on any device you are targeting, the  block
       above  (besides  other  parameters  specific  to  your  environment you might need) should
       suffice to be able to execute commands from outside a pyeapi Proxy, e.g.:

          salt '*' pyeapi.run_commands 'show version' 'show interfaces'
          salt '*' pyeapi.config 'ntp server 1.2.3.4'

       NOTE:
          Remember that the above applies only when not running in a pyeapi Proxy Minion. If  you
          want to use the pyeapi Proxy, please follow the documentation notes for a proper setup.

       salt.modules.arista_pyeapi.call(method, *args, **kwargs)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pyeapi.call run_commands "['show version']"

       salt.modules.arista_pyeapi.config(commands=None,                         config_file=None,
       template_engine='jinja', context=None, defaults=None, saltenv='base', **kwargs)
              Configures the node with the specified commands.

              This  method  is  used  to  send  configuration commands to the node.  It will take
              either a string or a list and prepend the necessary commands  to  put  the  session
              into config mode.

              Returns the diff after the configuration commands are loaded.

              config_file
                     The source file with the configuration commands to be sent to the device.

                     The  file  can  also  be  a template that can be rendered using the template
                     engine of choice.

                     This can be specified using the absolute path to the file, or using  one  of
                     the following URL schemes:

                     • salt://, to fetch the file from the Salt fileserver.

                     • http:// or https://ftp://s3://swift://

              commands
                     The  commands  to send to the node in config mode.  If the commands argument
                     is a string it will be cast to a list.  The list of commands  will  also  be
                     prepended with the necessary commands to put the session in config mode.

                     NOTE:
                        This argument is ignored when config_file is specified.

              template_engine: jinja
                     The  template  engine to use when rendering the source file. Default: jinja.
                     To simply fetch the file without attempting to render, set this argument  to
                     None.

              context
                     Variables to add to the template context.

              WARNING:
                 This function returns an unserializable object, hence it is not meant to be used
                 on the CLI. This should mainly be used when invoked from other modules  for  the
                 low level connection with the network device.

              kwargs Key-value dictionary with the authentication details.

              USAGE Example:

       salt.modules.arista_pyeapi.run_commands(*commands, **kwargs)
              Sends the commands over the transport to the device.

              This  function sends the commands to the device using the nodes transport.  This is
              a lower layer function that shouldn't normally need to be used, preferring  instead
              to use config() or enable().

              transport: https
                     Specifies  the  type  of  connection  transport to use. Valid values for the

   salt.modules.at
       Wrapper module for at(1)

       Also, a 'tag' feature has been added to more easily tag jobs.

       platform
              linux,openbsd,freebsd

       Changed in version 2017.7.0.

       salt.modules.at.at(*args, **kwargs)
              Add a job to the queue.

              The 'timespec' follows the format documented in the at(1) manpage.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' at.at <timespec> <cmd> [tag=<tag>] [runas=<user>]
                 salt '*' at.at 12:05am '/sbin/reboot' tag=reboot
                 salt '*' at.at '3:05am +3 days' 'bin/myscript' tag=nightly runas=jim

       salt.modules.at.atc(jobid)
              Print  the  at(1)  script  that  will run for the passed job id. This is mostly for
              debugging so the output will just be text.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' at.atc <jobid>

       salt.modules.at.atq(tag=None)
              List all queued and running jobs or only those with an optional 'tag'.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' at.atq
                 salt '*' at.atq [tag]
                 salt '*' at.atq [job number]

       salt.modules.at.atrm(*args)
              Remove jobs from the queue.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' at.atrm <jobid> <jobid> .. <jobid>
                 salt '*' at.atrm all
                 salt '*' at.atrm all [tag]

       salt.modules.at.jobcheck(**kwargs)
              Check the job from queue.  The kwargs dict include 'hour minute day month year  tag
              runas' Other parameters will be ignored.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' at.jobcheck runas=jam day=13
                 salt '*' at.jobcheck day=13 month=12 year=13 tag=rose

   salt.modules.augeas_cfg
       Manages configuration files via augeas

       This module requires the augeas Python module.

       WARNING:
          Minimal  installations  of Debian and Ubuntu have been seen to have packaging bugs with
          python-augeas, causing the augeas module to fail to  import.  If  the  minion  has  the
          augeas  module installed, but the functions in this execution module fail to run due to
          being unavailable, first restart the salt-minion service. If the problem persists  past
          that, the following command can be run from the master to determine what is causing the
          import to fail:

              salt minion-id cmd.run 'python -c "from augeas import Augeas"'

          For affected Debian/Ubuntu hosts, installing libpython2.7 has been known to resolve the

   salt.modules.bamboohr
       Support for BambooHR

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Requires a subdomain and an apikey in /etc/salt/minion:

          bamboohr:
            apikey: 012345678901234567890
            subdomain: mycompany

       salt.modules.bamboohr.list_employees(order_by='id')
              Show all employees for this company.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion bamboohr.list_employees

              By  default, the return data will be keyed by ID. However, it can be ordered by any
              other field. Keep in mind that if the  field  that  is  chosen  contains  duplicate
              values  (i.e.,  location  is used, for a company which only has one location), then
              each duplicate value will  be  overwritten  by  the  previous.   Therefore,  it  is
              advisable to only sort by fields that are guaranteed to be unique.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion bamboohr.list_employees order_by=id
                 salt myminion bamboohr.list_employees order_by=displayName

       salt.modules.bamboohr.list_users(order_by='id')
              Show all users for this company.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion bamboohr.list_users

              By  default, the return data will be keyed by ID. However, it can be ordered by any
              other field. Keep in mind that if the  field  that  is  chosen  contains  duplicate
              values  (i.e.,  location  is used, for a company which only has one location), then
              each duplicate value will  be  overwritten  by  the  previous.   Therefore,  it  is
              advisable to only sort by fields that are guaranteed to be unique.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion bamboohr.list_users order_by=id
                 salt myminion bamboohr.list_users order_by=email

       salt.modules.bamboohr.show_employee(emp_id, fields=None)
              Show all employees for this company.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion bamboohr.show_employee 1138

   salt.modules.bcache
       Module for managing BCache sets

       BCache  is a block-level caching mechanism similar to ZFS L2ARC/ZIL, dm-cache and fscache.
       It works by formatting one block device as a cache set, then adding backend devices (which
       need to be formatted as such) to the set and activating them.

       It's available in Linux mainline kernel since 3.10

       https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/bcache.txt

       This module needs the bcache userspace tools to function.

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       salt.modules.bcache.attach_(dev=None)
              Attach  a  backing  devices  to a cache set If no dev is given, all backing devices
              will be attached.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.attach sdc
                 salt '*' bcache.attach /dev/bcache1

              Returns
                     bool or None if nuttin' happened

       salt.modules.bcache.back_make(dev,   cache_mode='writeback',   force=False,   attach=True,
       bucket_size=None)
              Create  a  backing  device for attachment to a set.  Because the block size must be
              the same, a cache set already needs to exist.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.back_make sdc cache_mode=writeback attach=True

              Parameterscache_mode -- writethrough, writeback, writearound or none.

                     • force -- Overwrite existing bcaches

                     • attach -- Immediately attach the backing device to the set

                     • bucket_size -- Size of a bucket (see kernel doc)

       salt.modules.bcache.cache_make(dev,    reserved=None,    force=False,     block_size=None,
       bucket_size=None, attach=True)
              Create  BCache  cache  on  a  block  device.  If blkdiscard is available the entire
              device will be properly cleared in advance.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.cache_make sdb reserved=10% block_size=4096

              Parametersreserved --

                       if dev is a full device, create a partition table with this size empty.

                       NOTE:
                          this increases the amount of reserved space available  to  SSD  garbage
                          collectors, potentially (vastly) increasing performance

                     • block_size  -- Block size of the cache; defaults to devices' logical block
                       size

                     • force -- Overwrite existing BCache sets

                     • attach -- Attach all existing backend devices immediately

       salt.modules.bcache.config_(dev=None, **kwargs)
              Show or update config of a bcache device.

              If no device is given, operate on the cache set itself.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.config
                 salt '*' bcache.config bcache1
                 salt '*' bcache.config errors=panic journal_delay_ms=150
                 salt '*' bcache.config bcache1 cache_mode=writeback writeback_percent=15

              Returns
                     config or True/False

       salt.modules.bcache.detach(dev=None)
              Detach a backing device(s) from a cache set If no dev is given, all backing devices
              will be attached.

              Detaching  a  backing  device  will  flush  its write cache.  This should leave the
              underlying device in a consistent state, but might take a while.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.detach sdc
                 salt '*' bcache.detach bcache1

       salt.modules.bcache.device(dev,      stats=False,      config=False,      internals=False,
       superblock=False)
              Check the state of a single bcache device

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.device bcache0
                 salt '*' bcache.device /dev/sdc stats=True

              Parametersstats -- include statistics

                     • settings -- include all settings

                     • internals -- include all internals

                     • superblock -- include superblock info

       salt.modules.bcache.start()
              Trigger a start of the full bcache system through udev.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.start

       salt.modules.bcache.status(stats=False,  config=False,  internals=False, superblock=False,
       alldevs=False)
              Show the full status of the BCache system and optionally all its involved devices

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.status
                 salt '*' bcache.status stats=True
                 salt '*' bcache.status internals=True alldevs=True

              Parametersstats -- include statistics

                     • config -- include settings

                     • internals -- include internals

                     • superblock -- include superblock

       salt.modules.bcache.stop(dev=None)
              Stop a bcache device If no device is given, all backing devices  will  be  detached
              from the cache, which will subsequently be stopped.

              WARNING:
                 'Stop'  on  an individual backing device means hard-stop; no attempt at flushing
                 will be done and the bcache device will seemingly 'disappear'  from  the  device
                 lists

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' bcache.stop

       salt.modules.bcache.super_(dev)
              Read out BCache SuperBlock

              Creating Complex Args
                     Profiles can get pretty complicated in  terms  of  the  amount  of  possible
                     config options. Use the following shorthand to create complex arguments such
                     as lists, dictionaries,  and  lists  of  dictionaries.  An  option  is  also
                     provided to pass raw json as well.

                     lists [i,i,i]:
                            param='item1,item2,item3'

                     Dictionary [k:v,k:v,k,v]:
                            param='key-1:val-1,key-2:val2,key-3:va-3'

                     List of Dictionaries [k:v,k:v|k:v,k:v|k:v,k:v]:
                            param='key-1:val-1,key-2:val-2|key-1:val-1,key-2:val-2|key-1:val-1,key-2:val-2'

                     JSON: 'j{ ... }j':
                            cert-key-chain='j{  "default":  {  "cert":  "default.crt",   "chain":
                            "default.crt", "key": "default.key" } }j'

                     Escaping Delimiters:
                            Use \, or \: or \| to escape characters which shouldn't be treated as
                            delimiters i.e. ciphers='DEFAULT\:!SSLv3'

              Creating Complex Args
                 Profiles can get pretty complicated in terms of the amount  of  possible  config
                 options.  Use the following shorthand to create complex arguments such as lists,
                 dictionaries, and lists of dictionaries. An option is also provided to pass  raw
                 json as well.

                 lists [i,i,i]:
                        param='item1,item2,item3'

                 Dictionary [k:v,k:v,k,v]:
                        param='key-1:val-1,key-2:val2,key-3:va-3'

                 List of Dictionaries [k:v,k:v|k:v,k:v|k:v,k:v]:
                        param='key-1:val-1,key-2:val-2|key-1:val-1,key-2:val-2|key-1:val-1,key-2:val-2'

                 JSON: 'j{ ... }j':
                        cert-key-chain='j{   "default":   {   "cert":   "default.crt",   "chain":
                        "default.crt", "key": "default.key" } }j'

                 Escaping Delimiters:
                        Use  \,  or  \:  or \| to escape characters which shouldn't be treated as
                        delimiters i.e. ciphers='DEFAULT\:!SSLv3'

   salt.modules.boto3_elasticache
   Execution module for Amazon Elasticache using boto3
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit elasticache credentials but can also utilize IAM roles
              assigned  to  the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 elasticache.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 elasticache.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 elasticache.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
                     region: us-east-1

       salt.modules.boto3_elasticache.add_tags_to_resource(name,      region=None,      key=None,
       keyid=None, profile=None, **args)
              Add tags to an Elasticache resource.

              Note that this function is essentially useless as it requires a full  AWS  ARN  for
              the resource being operated on, but there is no provided API or programmatic way to
              find the ARN for a given object from its name or ID alone.   It  requires  specific
              knowledge  about  the  account  number,  AWS  partition, and other magic details to
              generate.

              If you happen to have those at hand though, feel free to utilize this function...

              Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.add_tags_to_resource                 name'=arn:aws:elasticache:us-west-2:0123456789:snapshot:mySnapshot'                 Tags="[{'Key': 'TeamOwner', 'Value': 'infrastructure'}]"

       keyid=None, profile=None, **args)
              List tags on an Elasticache resource.

              Note that this function is essentially useless as it requires a full  AWS  ARN  for
              the resource being operated on, but there is no provided API or programmatic way to
              find the ARN for a given object from its name or ID alone.   It  requires  specific
              knowledge  about  the  account  number,  AWS  partition, and other magic details to
              generate.

              If you happen to have those handy, feel free to utilize this however...

              Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.list_tags_for_resource                 name'=arn:aws:elasticache:us-west-2:0123456789:snapshot:mySnapshot'

       region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None, **args)
              Update a cache cluster in place.

              Notes: {ApplyImmediately: False} is pretty danged silly in the context of salt.
                     You  can  pass  it, but for fairly obvious reasons the results over multiple
                     runs will  be  undefined  and  probably  contrary  to  your  desired  state.
                     Reducing  the  number  of nodes requires an EXPLICIT CacheNodeIdsToRemove be
                     passed, which until a reasonable  heuristic  for  programmatically  deciding
                     which  nodes  to  remove has been established, MUST be decided and populated
                     intentionally before a state call, and removed again before  the  next.   In
                     practice this is not particularly useful and should probably be avoided.

              Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.create_cache_cluster name=myCacheCluster                                                              NotificationTopicStatus=inactive

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.modify_cache_subnet_group                                               name=my-subnet-group                                               subnets='[myVPCSubnet3]'

       salt.modules.boto3_elasticache.modify_replication_group(name,                    wait=600,
       security_groups=None, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None, **args)
              Modify a replication group.

              Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.modify_replication_group                                                   name=myelasticache                                                   ReplicationGroupDescription=newDescription

       salt.modules.boto3_elasticache.remove_tags_from_resource(name,    region=None,   key=None,
       keyid=None, profile=None, **args)
              Remove tags from an Elasticache resource.

              Note that this function is essentially useless as it requires a full  AWS  ARN  for
              the resource being operated on, but there is no provided API or programmatic way to
              find the ARN for a given object from its name or ID alone.   It  requires  specific
              knowledge  about  the  account  number,  AWS  partition, and other magic details to
              generate.

              If you happen to have those at hand though, feel free to utilize this function...

              Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.remove_tags_from_resource                 name'=arn:aws:elasticache:us-west-2:0123456789:snapshot:mySnapshot'                 TagKeys="['TeamOwner']"

       salt.modules.boto3_elasticache.replication_group_exists(name,    region=None,    key=None,
       keyid=None, profile=None)
              Check to see if a replication group exists.

              Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.replication_group_exists myelasticache

       salt.modules.boto3_elasticache.revoke_cache_security_group_ingress(name,      region=None,
       key=None, keyid=None, profile=None, **args)
              Revoke network ingress from an ec2 security group to a cache security group.

              Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_elasticache.revoke_cache_security_group_ingress                                         mycachesecgrp                                         EC2SecurityGroupName=someEC2sg                                         EC2SecurityGroupOwnerId=SOMEOWNERID

       Connection module for Amazon Elasticsearch Service

       New in version 3001.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit  IAM  credentials  but  can  also  utilize  IAM  roles
              assigned  to  the  instance trough Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 es.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 es.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 es.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
                     region: us-east-1

              All methods return a dict with:
                     'result' key containing a boolean indicating success or failure, 'error' key
                     containing the errormessage  returned  by  boto  on  error,  'response'  key
                     containing the data of the response returned by boto on success.

              Helper function to determine in one call if an Elasticsearch domain can be upgraded
              to the specified Elasticsearch version.

              This assumes that the Elasticsearch domain is at rest at the moment  this  function
              is called. I.e. The domain is not in the process of :

              • being created.

              • being updated.

              • another upgrade running, or a check thereof.

              • being deleted.

              Behind the scenes, this does 3 things:

              • Check if elasticsearch_version is among the compatible elasticsearch versions.

              • Perform a check if the Elasticsearch domain is eligible for the upgrade.

              • Check the result of the check and return the result as a boolean.

              Parametersname (str) -- The Elasticsearch domain name to check.

                     • elasticsearch_version (str) -- The Elasticsearch version to upgrade to.

              Return type
                     dict

              Returns
                     Dictionary  with  key  'result'  and  as value a boolean denoting success or
                     failure.  Upon success, also contains a key 'reponse' with boolean result of
                     the check.  Upon failure, also contains a key 'error' with the error message
                     as value.

   salt.modules.boto3_route53
       Execution module for Amazon Route53 written against Boto 3

       New in version 2017.7.0.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit route53 credentials but can  also  utilize  IAM  roles
              assigned  to  the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 route53.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 route53.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 route53.region: us-east-1

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                   keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                   key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
                   region: us-east-1

              Note  that  Route53  essentially  ignores  all (valid) settings for 'region', since
              there is only one Endpoint (in us-east-1  if  you  care)  and  any  (valid)  region
              setting will just send you there.  It is entirely safe to set it to None as well.

       salt.modules.boto3_route53.associate_vpc_with_hosted_zone(HostedZoneId=None,    Name=None,
       VPCId=None, VPCName=None, VPCRegion=None, Comment=None, region=None, key=None, keyid=None,
       profile=None)
              Associates an Amazon VPC with a private hosted zone.

              To perform the association, the VPC and the private hosted zone must already exist.
              You can't convert a public hosted zone into a private hosted zone.  If you want  to
              associate  a  VPC  from one AWS account with a zone from a another, the AWS account
              owning the hosted zone must first submit a CreateVPCAssociationAuthorization (using
              create_vpc_association_authorization() or by other means, such as the AWS console).
              With   that   done,   the    account    owning    the    VPC    can    then    call
              associate_vpc_with_hosted_zone() to create the association.

              Note   that   if   both   sides   happen   to   be   within   the   same   account,
              associate_vpc_with_hosted_zone() is enough on its own, and there is no need for the
              CreateVPCAssociationAuthorization step.

              Also note that looking up hosted zones by name (e.g. using the Name parameter) only
              works within a single account - if  you're  associating  a  VPC  to  a  zone  in  a
              different  account,  as outlined above, you unfortunately MUST use the HostedZoneId
              parameter exclusively.

              HostedZoneId
                     The unique Zone Identifier for the Hosted Zone.

              Name   The domain name associated with the Hosted Zone(s).

              VPCId  When working with a private hosted zone, either the VPC ID or  VPC  Name  to
                     associate with is required.  Exclusive with VPCName.

              VPCName
                     When  working  with  a private hosted zone, either the VPC ID or VPC Name to
                     associate with is required.  Exclusive with VPCId.

              VPCRegion
                     When working with a private hosted zone, the region of the associated VPC is
                     required.   If  not  provided,  an  effort will be made to determine it from
                     VPCId or VPCName, if possible.  If this fails, you'll  need  to  provide  an
                     explicit value for VPCRegion.

              Comment
                     Any comments you want to include about the change being made.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion boto3_route53.associate_vpc_with_hosted_zone                     Name=example.org. VPCName=myVPC                     VPCRegion=us-east-1 Comment="Whoo-hoo!  I added another VPC."

       salt.modules.boto3_route53.aws_encode(x)
              An  implementation  of  the  encoding  required  to support AWS's domain name rules
              defined here:

              While AWS's documentation specifies individual ASCII characters which  need  to  be
              encoded,  we instead just try to force the string to one of escaped unicode or idna
              depending on whether there are non-ASCII characters present.

              This means that we support things like ドメイン.テスト as a domain name string.

              More information about IDNA encoding in python is found here:

       salt.modules.boto3_route53.change_resource_record_sets(HostedZoneId=None,       Name=None,
       PrivateZone=None, ChangeBatch=None, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)
              See  the  AWS  Route53  API  docs  as  well  as the Boto3 documentation for all the
              details...

              The  syntax  for  a  ChangeBatch  parameter  is  as  follows,  but  note  that  the
              permutations  of  allowed  parameters and combinations thereof are quite varied, so
              perusal of  the  above  linked  docs  is  highly  recommended  for  any  non-trival
              configurations.

              Create  a new Route53 Hosted Zone. Returns a Python data structure with information
              about the newly created Hosted Zone.

              Name   The name of the domain. This should be a fully-specified domain, and  should
                     terminate  with a period. This is the name you have registered with your DNS
                     registrar. It is also the name you will delegate from your registrar to  the
                     Amazon Route 53 delegation servers returned in response to this request.

              VPCId  When  creating  a  private  hosted  zone,  either  the VPC ID or VPC Name to
                     associate with is required.  Exclusive with VPCName.  Ignored if passed  for
                     a non-private zone.

              VPCName
                     When  creating  a  private  hosted  zone,  either  the VPC ID or VPC Name to
                     associate with is required.  Exclusive with VPCId.  Ignored if passed for  a
                     non-private zone.

              VPCRegion
                     When  creating  a  private  hosted zone, the region of the associated VPC is
                     required.  If not provided, an effort will be  made  to  determine  it  from
                     VPCId  or  VPCName,  if  possible.  If this fails, you'll need to provide an

              CallerReference
                     A  unique   string   that   identifies   the   request   and   that   allows
                     create_hosted_zone()  calls  to be retried without the risk of executing the
                     operation twice.  This is a required  parameter  when  creating  new  Hosted
                     Zones.  Maximum length of 128.

              Comment
                     Any comments you want to include about the hosted zone.

              PrivateZone
                     Boolean - Set to True if creating a private hosted zone.

              DelegationSetId
                     If  you  want  to associate a reusable delegation set with this hosted zone,
                     the ID that Amazon Route 53 assigned to the reusable delegation set when you
                     created   it.   Note  that  XXX  TODO  create_delegation_set()  is  not  yet
                     implemented, so you'd need to manually create  any  delegation  sets  before
                     utilizing this.

              region Region endpoint to connect to.

              key    AWS key to bind with.

              keyid  AWS keyid to bind with.

              profile
                     Dict, or pillar key pointing to a dict, containing AWS region/key/keyid.

              Disassociates an Amazon VPC from a private hosted zone.

              You  can't  disassociate  the  last VPC from a private hosted zone.  You also can't
              convert a private hosted zone into a public hosted zone.

              Note that looking up hosted zones by name (e.g.  using  the  Name  parameter)  only
              works XXX FACTCHECK within a single AWS account - if you're disassociating a VPC in
              one account from a hosted zone in a different account you  unfortunately  MUST  use
              the HostedZoneId parameter exclusively. XXX FIXME DOCU

              HostedZoneId
                     The unique Zone Identifier for the Hosted Zone.

              Name   The domain name associated with the Hosted Zone(s).

              VPCId  When  working  with  a private hosted zone, either the VPC ID or VPC Name to
                     associate with is required.  Exclusive with VPCName.

              VPCName
                     When working with a private hosted zone, either the VPC ID or  VPC  Name  to
                     associate with is required.  Exclusive with VPCId.

              Find a hosted zone with the given characteristics.

              Id     The unique Zone Identifier for the Hosted Zone.  Exclusive with Name.

              Name   The  domain  name associated with the Hosted Zone.  Exclusive with Id.  Note
                     this has the potential to match more then one hosted zone (e.g. a public and
                     a  private  if  both exist) which will raise an error unless PrivateZone has
                     also been passed in order split the different.

              PrivateZone
                     Boolean - Set to True if searching for a private hosted zone.

              region Region to connect to.

              key    Secret key to be used.

              keyid  Access key to be used.

              profile
                     Dict, or pillar key pointing to a dict, containing AWS region/key/keyid.

              Find any zones with the given domain name and  return  detailed  info  about  them.
              Note  that  this can return multiple Route53 zones, since a domain name can be used
              in both public and private zones.

              Name   The domain name associated with the Hosted Zone(s).

              region Region to connect to.

              key    Secret key to be used.

              keyid  Access key to be used.

              Get all resource records from a given zone matching  the  provided  StartRecordName
              (if  given)  or all records in the zone (if not), optionally filtered by a specific
              StartRecordType.  This will return any and all RRs matching,  regardless  of  their
              special  AWS  flavors  (weighted,  geolocation, alias, etc.) so your code should be
              prepared for potentially large numbers of records back from  this  function  -  for
              example,  if  you've created a complex geolocation mapping with lots of entries all
              over the world providing the same server name to many different regional clients.

              If you want EXACTLY ONE record to operate on, you'll need to  implement  any  logic
              required to pick the specific RR you care about from those returned.

              Note  that  if  you  pass in Name without providing a value for PrivateZone (either
              True or False), CommandExecutionError can be raised in the case of both public  and
              private zones matching the domain. XXX FIXME DOCU

   salt.modules.boto3_sns
       Connection module for Amazon SNS

       configuration
              This  module  accepts  explicit  sns  credentials  but  can  also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic  credentials  are  then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a  pillar  or  in  the
              minion's config file:

                 sns.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 sns.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 sns.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's  also  possible  to  specify  key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

   salt.modules.boto_apigateway
       Connection module for Amazon APIGateway

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       depends

              • boto >= 2.8.0

              • boto3 >= 1.2.1

              • botocore >= 1.4.49

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit Lambda credentials but  can  also  utilize  IAM  roles
              assigned  to  the  instance trough Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 apigateway.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 apigateway.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 apigateway.region: us-west-2

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
                     region: us-west-2

       Changed  in  version  2015.8.0:  All  methods  now  return a dictionary. Create and delete
       methods return:

          created: true

       or

          created: false
          error:
            message: error message

       Request methods (e.g., describe_apigateway) return:

          apigateway:
            - {...}
            - {...}

       or

       Connection module for Amazon Autoscale Groups

       New in version 2014.7.0.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit autoscale credentials but can also utilize  IAM  roles
              assigned  to  the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 asg.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 asg.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 asg.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

   salt.modules.boto_cloudwatch
       Connection module for Amazon CloudWatch

       New in version 2014.7.0.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit credentials but can also utilize IAM roles assigned to
              the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then  automatically
              obtained  from  AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More Information
              available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a  pillar  or  in  the
              minion's config file:

                 cloudwatch.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 cloudwatch.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 cloudwatch.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's  also  possible  to  specify  key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

       salt.modules.boto_cloudwatch.convert_to_arn(arns,   region=None,   key=None,   keyid=None,
       profile=None)
              Convert  a  list  of  strings  into actual arns. Converts convenience names such as
              'scaling_policy:...'

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' convert_to_arn 'scaling_policy:'

       salt.modules.boto_cloudwatch.create_or_update_alarm(connection=None,            name=None,
       metric=None, namespace=None, statistic=None, comparison=None, threshold=None, period=None,
       evaluation_periods=None, unit=None, description='',  dimensions=None,  alarm_actions=None,
       insufficient_data_actions=None,   ok_actions=None,   region=None,   key=None,  keyid=None,
       profile=None)
              Create or update a cloudwatch alarm.

              Params are the same as:
                     https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/cloudwatch.html#boto.ec2.cloudwatch.alarm.MetricAlarm.

              Dimensions  must be a dict. If the value of Dimensions is a string, it will be json
              decoded to produce a dict. alarm_actions, insufficient_data_actions, and ok_actions
              must  be  lists of string.  If the passed-in value is a string, it will be split on
              ","   to   produce   a   list.   The   strings   themselves   for    alarm_actions,
              insufficient_data_actions,  and  ok_actions  must be Amazon resource names (ARN's);
              however, this method also supports an arn lookup notation, as follows:
                 arn:aws:....                                           ARN        as         per
                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html
                 scaling_policy:<as_name>:<scaling_policy_name>   The   named   autoscale   group
                 scaling policy, for the named group (e.g.  scaling_policy:my-asg:ScaleDown)

              This  is  convenient  for  setting  up  autoscaling  as  follows.   First specify a
              boto_asg.present  state  for  an  ASG  with  scaling_policies,  and  then  set   up
              boto_cloudwatch_alarm.present  states  which  have alarm_actions that reference the
              scaling_policy.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion boto_cloudwatch.create_alarm name=myalarm ... region=us-east-1

       salt.modules.boto_cloudwatch.delete_alarm(name,   region=None,    key=None,    keyid=None,
       profile=None)
              Delete a cloudwatch alarm

              CLI example to delete a queue:

                 salt myminion boto_cloudwatch.delete_alarm myalarm region=us-east-1

       salt.modules.boto_cloudwatch.get_alarm(name,     region=None,     key=None,    keyid=None,
       profile=None)
              Get alarm details. Also can be used to check to see if an alarm exists.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion boto_cloudwatch.get_alarm myalarm region=us-east-1

       salt.modules.boto_cloudwatch.get_all_alarms(region=None,      prefix=None,       key=None,
       keyid=None, profile=None)
              Get all alarm details.  Produces results that can be used to create an sls file.

              If  prefix parameter is given, alarm names in the output will be prepended with the
              prefix; alarms that have the prefix will be skipped.  This can be used  to  convert
              existing alarms to be managed by salt, as follows:

                 1.

                    Make a backup of all existing alarms
                           $  salt-call  boto_cloudwatch.get_all_alarms --out=txt | sed "s/local:
                           //" > legacy_alarms.sls

                 2.

                    Get all alarms with new prefixed names
                           $ salt-call boto_cloudwatch.get_all_alarms "prefix=**MANAGED BY SALT**
                           " --out=txt | sed "s/local: //" > managed_alarms.sls

                 3.

                    Insert the managed alarms into cloudwatch
                           $ salt-call state.template managed_alarms.sls

                 4. Manually verify that the new alarms look right

                 5. Delete  the  original  alarms  $  sed  s/present/absent/  legacy_alarms.sls >
                    remove_legacy_alarms.sls $ salt-call state.template remove_legacy_alarms.sls

                 6. Get    all    alarms    again,    verify    no    changes     $     salt-call
                    boto_cloudwatch.get_all_alarms    --out=txt    |    sed   "s/local:   //"   >

              tag_maps (list)
                     List  of  dicts  of filters and tags, where 'filters' is a dict suitable for
                     passing to the 'filters' argument of get_all_volumes() above, and 'tags'  is
                     a dict of tags to be set on volumes (via create_tags/delete_tags) as matched
                     by the given filters.  The filter  syntax  is  extended  to  permit  passing
                     either  a  list  of volume_ids or an instance_name (with instance_name being
                     the Name tag of the instance to which the desired volumes are mapped).  Each
                     mapping  in  the list is applied separately, so multiple sets of volumes can
                     be all tagged differently with one call to this function.  If  filtering  by
                     instance  Name,  You may additionally limit the instances matched by passing
                     in a list of  desired  instance  states.   The  default  set  of  states  is
                     ('pending', 'rebooting', 'running', 'stopping', 'stopped').

       Connection module for Amazon EFS

       New in version 2017.7.0.

       configuration
              This  module  accepts  explicit  EFS  credentials  but  can  also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles or it can  read  them  from  the
              ~/.aws/credentials  file  or  from  these environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
              AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.  Dynamic credentials are then  automatically  obtained  from
              AWS API and no further configuration is necessary.  More information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/

                     configuration.html#guide-configuration

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file

                 efs.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 efs.key: askd+ghsdfjkghWupU/asdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration

                 efs.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

       keyid=None, key=None, profile=None, region=None, creation_token=None, **kwargs)
              Creates a new, empty file system.

              name   (string) - The name for the new file system

              performance_mode
                     (string)  -  The  PerformanceMode  of  the  file  system.  Can   be   either

       securitygroups=None, keyid=None, key=None, profile=None, region=None, **kwargs)
              Creates  a  mount  target for a file system.  You can then mount the file system on
              EC2 instances via the mount target.

              You can create one mount target in each Availability Zone in  your  VPC.   All  EC2
              instances in a VPC within a given Availability Zone share a single mount target for
              a given file system.

              If you have multiple subnets in an Availability Zone, you create a mount target  in
              one  of  the  subnets.   EC2  instances do not need to be in the same subnet as the
              mount target in order to access their file system.

              filesystemid
                     (string) - ID of the file system for which to create the mount target.

              subnetid
                     (string) - ID of the subnet to add the mount target in.

              ipaddress

                     (string) - Valid IPv4 address within the address range
                            of the specified subnet.

              securitygroups

                     (list[string]) - Up to five VPC security group IDs,
                            of the form sg-xxxxxxxx.  These must be for the same  VPC  as  subnet
                            specified.

              returns
                     (dict) - A dict of the response data

       salt.modules.boto_efs.create_tags(filesystemid,  tags, keyid=None, key=None, profile=None,
       region=None, **kwargs)
              Creates or overwrites tags associated with a file system.  Each tag is a  key-value
              pair. If a tag key specified in the request already exists on the file system, this
              operation overwrites its value with the value provided in the request.

              filesystemid
                     (string) - ID of the file system for whose tags will be modified.

              tags   (dict) - The tags to add to the file system

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'my-minion' boto_efs.create_tags

       salt.modules.boto_efs.delete_file_system(filesystemid, keyid=None, key=None, profile=None,
       region=None, **kwargs)
              Deletes  a  file system, permanently severing access to its contents.  Upon return,
              the file system no longer exists and you can't access any contents of  the  deleted
              file  system.  You  can't delete a file system that is in use. That is, if the file
              system has any mount targets, you must first delete them.

              filesystemid
                     (string) - ID of the file system to delete.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'my-minion' boto_efs.delete_file_system filesystemid

       salt.modules.boto_efs.delete_mount_target(mounttargetid,       keyid=None,       key=None,
       profile=None, region=None, **kwargs)
              Deletes the specified mount target.

              This  operation  forcibly breaks any mounts of the file system via the mount target
              that is being deleted, which might disrupt instances or  applications  using  those
              mounts.  To  avoid  applications  getting  cut  off  abruptly,  you  might consider
              unmounting any mounts of the mount target, if feasible. The operation also  deletes
              the  associated  network interface.  Uncommitted writes may be lost, but breaking a
              mount target using this operation does not corrupt the  file  system  itself.   The
              file  system  you  created  remains.  You can mount an EC2 instance in your VPC via
              another mount target.

              mounttargetid
                     (string) - ID of the mount target to delete

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.boto_efs.delete_tags(filesystemid, tags, keyid=None, key=None,  profile=None,
       region=None, **kwargs)
              Deletes the specified tags from a file system.

              filesystemid
                     (string) - ID of the file system for whose tags will be removed.

              tags   (list[string]) - The tag keys to delete to the file system

              filesystemid
                     (string) - ID of the file system to retrieve properties

              creation_token
                     (string) - A unique token that identifies an EFS.   If  fileysystem  created
                     via  create_file_system this would either be explictitly passed in or set to
                     name.  You can limit your search with this.

              returns
                     (list[dict]) - list of all elastic file system properties

              CLI Example:

   salt.modules.boto_elasticache
       Connection module for Amazon Elasticache

       New in version 2014.7.0.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit elasticache credentials but can also utilize IAM roles
              assigned  to  the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 elasticache.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 elasticache.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 elasticache.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 lambda.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 lambda.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 lambda.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
                     region: us-east-1

              Create and delete methods return:

                 created: true

              or

                 created: false

              This module accepts explicit  elb  credentials  but  can  also  utilize  IAM  roles
              assigned  to  the  instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

       configuration
              This  module  accepts  explicit  elb  credentials  but  can  also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic  credentials  are  then

                 elbv2.region: us-west-2

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's  also  possible  to  specify  key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:

              • boto

              • boto3

       The dependencies listed above can be installed via package or pip.

       configuration
              This  module  accepts  explicit  Lambda  credentials but can also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials  are  then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a  pillar  or  in  the
              minion's config file:

                 iot.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 iot.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 iot.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's  also  possible  to  specify  key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                   keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                   key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

       key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)
              Reshard a kinesis stream.  Each call to this function will wait until the stream is
              ACTIVE, then make a single split or merge operation. This function decides where to
              split or merge with the assumption that the ultimate goal is a  balanced  partition
              space.

              For safety, user must past in force=True; otherwise, the function will dry run.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion boto_kinesis.reshard my_stream N True region=us-east-1

              Returns
                     True if a split or merge was found/performed, False if nothing is needed

              This  module  accepts  explicit  kms  credentials  but  can  also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic  credentials  are  then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a  pillar  or  in  the
              minion's config file:

                 kms.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 kms.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's  also  possible  to  specify  key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a

       Connection module for Amazon RDS

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       configuration
              This  module  accepts  explicit  rds  credentials  but  can  also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials  are  then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a  pillar  or  in  the
              minion's config file:

                 rds.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 rds.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 rds.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's  also  possible  to  specify  key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

   salt.modules.boto_route53
       Connection module for Amazon Route53

       New in version 2014.7.0.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit route53 credentials but can  also  utilize  IAM  roles
              assigned  to  the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 route53.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 route53.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 route53.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified,  the  default  is  'universal',  which  is  what  the
              boto_route53 library expects, rather than None.

              It's  also  possible  to  specify  key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                   keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                   key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              retry_on_errors
                     Continue  to  query  if  the  zone  exists  after  an  error  is raised. The
                     previously  used  argument  retry_on_rate_limit  was  deprecated  for   this
                     argument.  Users  can  still  use  retry_on_rate_limit  to  ensure backwards

                     argument instead.

              error_retries
                     Number of times to attempt to query if the zone exists.  The previously used

              Create a Route53 healthcheck

              New in version 2018.3.0.

              ip_addr
                 IP address to check.  ip_addr or fqdn is required.

              fqdn
                 Domain name of the endpoint to check.  ip_addr or fqdn is required

              port
                 Port to check

              hc_type
                 Healthcheck type.  HTTP | HTTPS | HTTP_STR_MATCH | HTTPS_STR_MATCH | TCP

              resource_path
                 Path to check

              string_match
                 If hc_type is HTTP_STR_MATCH or HTTPS_STR_MATCH, the string to search for in the
                 response body from the specified resource

              request_interval
                 The number of seconds between the time that Amazon Route 53 gets a response from
                 your endpoint and the time that it sends the next health-check request.

              failure_threshold
                 The  number  of consecutive health checks that an endpoint must pass or fail for
                 Amazon Route 53 to change the current status of the endpoint from  unhealthy  to
                 healthy or vice versa.

       private_zone=False, vpc_id=None, vpc_name=None,  vpc_region=None,  region=None,  key=None,
       keyid=None, profile=None)
              Create  a new Route53 Hosted Zone. Returns a Python data structure with information
              about the newly created Hosted Zone.

              domain_name
                     The name of the domain. This must be  fully-qualified,  terminating  with  a
                     period.   This  is  the name you have registered with your domain registrar.
                     It is also the name you will delegate from  your  registrar  to  the  Amazon
                     Route 53 delegation servers returned in response to this request.

              caller_ref
                     A   unique   string   that   identifies   the   request   and   that  allows
                     create_hosted_zone() calls to be retried without the risk of  executing  the
                     operation  twice.   It  can take several minutes for the change to replicate
                     globally, and change from PENDING  to  INSYNC  status.  Thus  it's  best  to
                     provide  some value for this where possible, since duplicate calls while the
                     first is in PENDING status will be accepted and can lead to multiple  copies
                     of  the  zone being created.  On the other hand, if a zone is created with a
                     given caller_ref, then deleted, a second attempt to create a zone  with  the
                     same  caller_ref will fail until that caller_ref is flushed from the Route53
                     system, which can take upwards of 24 hours.

              comment
                     Any comments you want to include about the hosted zone.

              private_zone

                     a non-private zone.

              vpc_name
                     When creating a private hosted zone, either  the  VPC  ID  or  VPC  Name  to

                     non-private zone.

              vpc_region
                     When creating a private hosted zone, the region of  the  associated  VPC  is
                     required.   If  not  provided,  an  effort will be made to determine it from
                     vpc_id or vpc_name, where possible.  If this fails, you'll need  to  provide
                     an  explicit  value  for  this  option.  Ignored when creating a non-private
                     zone.

       Connection module for Amazon S3 using boto3

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       configuration
              This  module  accepts  explicit  AWS  credentials  but  can  also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles or it can  read  them  from  the
              ~/.aws/credentials  file  or  from  these environment variables: AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID,
              AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY.  Dynamic credentials are then  automatically  obtained  from
              AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/

                     configuration.html#guide-configuration

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 s3.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 s3.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 s3.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

   salt.modules.boto_secgroup
       Connection module for Amazon Security Groups

       New in version 2014.7.0.

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit  ec2  credentials  but  can  also  utilize  IAM  roles
              assigned  to  the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials are then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:

                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If  IAM  roles  are  not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in the
              minion's config file:

                 secgroup.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 secgroup.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              A region may also be specified in the configuration:

                 secgroup.region: us-east-1

              If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

              It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via  a  profile,  either  as  a
              passed in dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

                 myprofile:
                     keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                     key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

       filters=None, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)
              Return a list of all Security Groups matching the given criteria and filters.

              Note  that  the  groupnames  argument  only functions correctly for EC2 Classic and
              default VPC Security Groups.  To find groups by name in other VPCs you'll  want  to
              use the group-name filter instead.

              The valid keys for the filters argument can be found in AWS's API documentation.

       • boto >= 2.8.0

       • boto3 >= 1.2.6

       configuration
              This  module  accepts  explicit  VPC  credentials  but  can  also utilize IAM roles
              assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles.  Dynamic credentials  are  then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available here.

       If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a pillar or in  the  minion's
       config file:

          vpc.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
          vpc.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

       A region may also be specified in the configuration:

          vpc.region: us-east-1

       If a region is not specified, the default is us-east-1.

       It's  also  possible to specify key, keyid and region via a profile, either as a passed in
       dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

          myprofile:
              keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
              key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
              region: us-east-1

       Changed in version 2015.8.0: All methods  now  return  a  dictionary.  Create  and  delete
       methods return:

          created: true

       or

   salt.modules.bsd_shadow
       Manage the password database on BSD systems

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage passwords on a minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different  module  (or gives an error similar to 'shadow.info' is not
          available), see here.

       salt.modules.bsd_shadow.default_hash()
              Returns the default hash used for unset passwords

              NOTE:
                 When called this function is called directly via remote-execution, the  password
                 argument  may be displayed in the system's process list.  This may be a security
                 risk on certain systems.

              password
                     Plaintext password to be hashed.

              crypt_salt
                     Crpytographic salt.  If  not  given,  a  random  8-character  salt  will  be
                     generated.

              algorithm
                     The following hash algorithms are supported:

                     • md5

                     • blowfish (not in mainline glibc, only available in distros that add it)

                     • sha256

                     • sha512 (default)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' shadow.gen_password 'I_am_password'
                 salt '*' shadow.gen_password 'I_am_password' crypt_salt='I_am_salt' algorithm=sha256

       salt.modules.bsd_shadow.info(name)
              Return information for the specified user

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' shadow.info someuser

       salt.modules.bsd_shadow.set_change(name, change)
              Sets  the time at which the password expires (in seconds since the UNIX epoch). See
              man 8 usermod on NetBSD and OpenBSD or man 8 pw on FreeBSD.

              A value of 0 sets the password to never expire.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' shadow.set_change username 1419980400

       salt.modules.bsd_shadow.set_expire(name, expire)
              Sets the time at which the account expires (in seconds since the UNIX  epoch).  See
              man 8 usermod on NetBSD and OpenBSD or man 8 pw on FreeBSD.

              A value of 0 sets the account to never expire.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' shadow.set_expire username 1419980400

       salt.modules.bsd_shadow.set_password(name, password)
              Set  the  password  for a named user. The password must be a properly defined hash.
              The password hash can be generated with this command:

              python -c "import crypt; print crypt.crypt('password', ciphersalt)"

              NOTE:
                 When constructing the ciphersalt string, you must escape any  dollar  signs,  to
                 avoid them being interpolated by the shell.

              'password' is, of course, the password for which you want to generate a hash.

              ciphersalt  is  a combination of a cipher identifier, an optional number of rounds,
              and the cryptographic salt. The arrangement and format of these fields  depends  on
              the cipher and which flavor of BSD you are using. For more information on this, see
              the manpage for  crpyt(3).  On  NetBSD,  additional  information  is  available  in
              passwd.conf(5).

              It is important to make sure that a supported cipher is used.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' shadow.set_password someuser '$1$UYCIxa628.9qXjpQCjM4a..'

   salt.modules.btrfs
       Module for managing BTRFS file systems.

       salt.modules.btrfs.add(mountpoint, *devices, **kwargs)
              Add a devices to a BTRFS filesystem.

              General options:

              • nodiscard: Do not perform whole device TRIM

              • force: Force overwrite existing filesystem on the disk

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' btrfs.add /mountpoint /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2

       salt.modules.btrfs.convert(device, permanent=False, keeplf=False)
              Convert ext2/3/4 to BTRFS. Device should be mounted.

              Filesystem  can  be converted temporarily so the further processing and rollback is
              possible, or permanently, where previous extended filesystem  image  gets  deleted.
              Please  note,  permanent  conversion  takes a while as BTRFS filesystem needs to be
              properly rebalanced afterwards.

              General options:

              • permanent: Specify if the migration should be permanent (false by default)

              •

                keeplf: Keep lost+found of the partition (removed by default,
                       but still in the image, if not permanent migration)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' btrfs.convert /dev/sda1
                 salt '*' btrfs.convert /dev/sda1 permanent=True

       salt.modules.btrfs.defragment(path)
              Defragment mounted BTRFS filesystem.  In order to defragment a  filesystem,  device
              should be properly mounted and writable.

              If  passed  a  device  name, then defragmented whole filesystem, mounted on in.  If
              passed a moun tpoint of the filesystem, then only this mount point is defragmented.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' btrfs.defragment /dev/sda1
                 salt '*' btrfs.defragment /path/on/filesystem

       salt.modules.btrfs.delete(mountpoint, *devices, **kwargs)
              Remove devices from a BTRFS filesystem.

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.capirca_acl.get_filter_pillar(filter_name,  pillar_key='acl', pillarenv=None,
       saltenv=None)
              Helper that  can  be  used  inside  a  state  SLS,  in  order  to  get  the  filter
              configuration given its name.

              filter_name
                     The name of the filter.

              pillar_key

              pillarenv
                     Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from
                     the requested pillar environment.

              saltenv
                     Included  only  for  compatibility  with  pillarenv_from_saltenv,   and   is
                     otherwise ignored.

                     merging  the filters from filters with those defined in the pillar (if any):
                     new filters are  prepended  at  the  beginning,  while  existing  ones  will
                     preserve  the  position.  To add the new filters at the end of the list, set
                     this argument to False.

                     will try to merge everything at the policy level. Default: False.

              revision_id
                     Add a comment in the policy config having the description  for  the  changes

              pillar_key: acl
                     The key in the pillar containing the  default  attributes  values.  Default:
                     acl.  If the pillar contains the following structure:

                        firewall:
                          - my-filter:

                     The pillar_key field would be specified as firewall.

              pillarenv
                     Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from
                     the requested pillar environment.

              saltenv
                     Included  only  for  compatibility  with  pillarenv_from_saltenv,   and   is
                     otherwise ignored.

              merge_pillar: True
                     Merge the CLI variables with the pillar. Default: True.

              revision_id
                     Add  a  comment  in  the  term config having the description for the changes
                     applied.

              revision_no
                     The revision count.

              revision_date: True
                     Boolean flag: display the date when the term  configuration  was  generated.
                     Default: True.

              revision_date_format: %Y/%m/%d
                     The  date  format  to  be  used  when generating the perforce data. Default:
                     %Y/%m/%d (<year>/<month>/<day>).

              source_service
                     A special service to choose from. This is a helper so the user  is  able  to
                     select a source just using the name, instead of specifying a source_port and
                     protocol.

                     As this module is available on Unix platforms only, it reads the  IANA  port
                     assignment from /etc/services.

                     If  the  user  requires  additional shortcuts to be referenced, they can add
                     entries under /etc/services, which can be managed using the file state.

              destination_service
                     A special service to choose from. This is a helper so the user  is  able  to
                     select   a   source   just   using   the   name,  instead  of  specifying  a
                     destination_port and protocol.  Allows the same options as source_service.

              term_fields
                     Term attributes.  To see what fields are supported, please consult the  list
                     of supported keywords.  Some platforms have few other optional keywords.

                 • destination_service

                 Example: destination_address can be either defined as:

                     destination_address: 172.17.17.1/24

                 or as a list of destination IP addresses:

                     destination_address:
                         - 172.17.17.1/24
                         - 172.17.19.1/24

                 or a list of services to be matched:

                     source_service:
                         - ntp
                         - snmp
                         - ldap
                         - bgpd

              NOTE:
                 The  port fields source_port and destination_port can be used as above to select
                 either a single value, either a list of values, but also they  can  select  port
                 ranges. Example:

                     source_port:
                         - [1000, 2000]
                         - [3000, 4000]

                 With  the  configuration  above,  the  user  is able to select the 1000-2000 and
                 3000-4000 source port ranges.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' capirca.get_term_config arista filter-name term-name source_address=1.2.3.4 destination_address=5.6.7.8 action=accept

   salt.modules.cassandra_cql
       Cassandra Database Module

       New in version 2015.5.0.

       This module works with Cassandra v2 and v3  and  hence  generates  queries  based  on  the
       internal schema of said version.

       depends
              DataStax         Python         Driver         for         Apache         Cassandra
              https://github.com/datastax/python-driver pip install cassandra-driver

       referenced by
              Salt's cassandra_cql returner

       configuration
              The Cassandra cluster members and connection port can either be  specified  in  the
              master or minion config, the minion's pillar or be passed to the module.

              Example configuration in the config for a single node:

                 cassandra:
                   cluster: 192.168.50.10
                   port: 9000

              Example configuration in the config for a cluster:

                 cassandra:
                   cluster:
                     - 192.168.50.10
                     - 192.168.50.11
                     - 192.168.50.12
                   port: 9000
                   username: cas_admin

              Changed in version 2016.11.0.

              Added support for ssl_options and protocol_version.

              Example configuration with ssl options:

              If  ssl_options are present in cassandra config the cassandra_cql returner will use
              SSL. SSL isn't used if ssl_options isn't specified.

                 cassandra:
                   cluster:
                     - 192.168.50.10
                     - 192.168.50.11
                     - 192.168.50.12
                   port: 9000
                   username: cas_admin

                   ssl_options:
                     ca_certs: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt

                     # SSL version should be one from the ssl module
                     # This is an optional parameter
                     ssl_version: PROTOCOL_TLSv1

              Additionally you can also specify the protocol_version to use.

                 cassandra:
                   cluster:
                     - 192.168.50.10

   salt.modules.chocolatey
       A  dead  simple  module  wrapping   calls   to   the   Chocolatey   package   manager   (‐
       http://chocolatey.org)

       New in version 2014.1.0.

       salt.modules.chocolatey.add_source(name, source_location, username=None, password=None)
              Instructs Chocolatey to add a source.

              name   The name of the source to be added as a chocolatey repository.

              source Location of the source you want to work with.

              username
                     Provide   username   for   chocolatey   sources   that  need  authentication
                     credentials.

              password
                     Provide  password  for   chocolatey   sources   that   need   authentication
                     credentials.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' chocolatey.add_source <source name> <source_location>

       salt.modules.chocolatey.bootstrap(force=False, source=None)
              Download  and  install the latest version of the Chocolatey package manager via the
              official bootstrap.

              Chocolatey requires Windows PowerShell and the .NET v4.0 runtime. Depending on  the
              host's  version  of  Windows,  chocolatey.bootstrap  will  attempt  to ensure these
              prerequisites are met by downloading and executing the appropriate installers  from
              Microsoft.

              NOTE:
                 If  PowerShell  is  installed,  you  may  have  to  restart the host machine for
                 Chocolatey to work.

              NOTE:
                 If you're installing offline using the source parameter, the PowerShell and .NET
                 requirements  must  already be met on the target. This shouldn't be a problem on
                 Windows versions 2012/8 and later

              Parametersforce (bool) -- Run the bootstrap process even if Chocolatey is  found  in
                       the path.

   salt.modules.ciscoconfparse_mod
       Execution module for ciscoconfparse

       New in version 2019.2.0.

       This module can be used for basic configuration parsing, audit or validation for a variety
       of network platforms  having  Cisco  IOS  style  configuration  (one  space  indentation),
       including:  Cisco  IOS,  Cisco  Nexus,  Cisco IOS-XR, Cisco IOS-XR, Cisco ASA, Arista EOS,
       Brocade, HP Switches, Dell PowerConnect Switches, or Extreme Networks  devices.  In  newer
       versions, ciscoconfparse provides support for brace-delimited configuration style as well,
       for platforms such as: Juniper Junos, Palo Alto, or F5 Networks.

       See http://www.pennington.net/py/ciscoconfparse/index.html for further details.

       depends
              ciscoconfparse

       This module depends on the Python library with the same name, ciscoconfparse - to  install
       execute: pip install ciscoconfparse.

       salt.modules.ciscoconfparse_mod.filter_lines(config=None,                config_path=None,
       parent_regex=None, child_regex=None, saltenv='base')
              Return a list of detailed  matches,  for  the  configuration  blocks  (parent-child
              relationship)  whose  parent  respects  the  regular expressions configured via the
              parent_regex argument, and the child matches the  child_regex  regular  expression.
              The result is a list of dictionaries with the following keys:

              • match: a boolean value that tells whether child_regex matched any children lines.

              • parent: the parent line (as text).

              • child:  the  child  line  (as text). If no child line matched, this field will be
                None.

              Note that the return list contains the elements that matched the parent  condition,
              the parent_regex regular expression. Therefore, the parent field will always have a
              valid value, while match and child may default to False and None respectively  when
              there is not child match.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ciscoconfparse.filter_lines config_path=https://bit.ly/2mAdq7z parent_regex='Gigabit' child_regex='shutdown'

              Example output (for the example above):

                 [

              only finds oldest ancestors without immediate children that match.

              WARNING:
                 This function is mostly valuable when invoked from other Salt components  (i.e.,
                 execution modules, states, templates etc.). For CLI usage, please consider using
                 ciscoconfparse.find_lines_wo_child

              config The configuration sent as text.

                     NOTE:
                        This argument is ignored when config_path is specified.

              config_path
                     The absolute or remote path to the file with the configuration to be parsed.
                     This  argument  supports  the  usual  Salt  filesystem  URIs, e.g., salt://,
                     https://, ftp://, s3://, etc.

              parent_regex
                     The regular expression to match the parent lines against.

              child_regex
                     The regular expression to match the child lines against.

              ignore_ws: False
                     Whether to ignore the white spaces.

              saltenv: base
                     Salt fileserver environment from which to retrieve the file.  This  argument
                     is ignored when config_path is not a salt:// URL.

              Usage example:

                 objects = __salt__['ciscoconfparse.find_objects_wo_child'](config_path='https://bit.ly/2mAdq7z',
                                                                            parent_regex='line con',
                                                                            child_regex='stopbits')
                 for obj in objects:
                     print(obj.text)

   salt.modules.cmdmod
       A module for shelling out.

       Keep  in mind that this module is insecure, in that it can give whomever has access to the
       master root execution access to all salt minions.

       salt.modules.cmdmod.exec_code(lang, code, cwd=None, args=None, **kwargs)
              Pass in two strings, the first naming  the  executable  language,  aka  -  python2,
              python3,  ruby,  perl,  lua, etc. the second string containing the code you wish to
              execute. The stdout will be returned.

              All parameters from cmd.run_all except python_shell can be used.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cmd.exec_code ruby 'puts "cheese"'
                 salt '*' cmd.exec_code ruby 'puts "cheese"' args='["arg1", "arg2"]' env='{"FOO": "bar"}'

       salt.modules.cmdmod.exec_code_all(lang, code, cwd=None, args=None, **kwargs)
              Pass in two strings, the first naming  the  executable  language,  aka  -  python2,
              python3,  ruby,  perl,  lua, etc. the second string containing the code you wish to
              execute. All cmd artifacts (stdout, stderr, retcode, pid) will be returned.

              All parameters from cmd.run_all except python_shell can be used.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cmd.exec_code_all ruby 'puts "cheese"'
                 salt '*' cmd.exec_code_all ruby 'puts "cheese"' args='["arg1", "arg2"]' env='{"FOO": "bar"}'

       salt.modules.cmdmod.has_exec(cmd)
              Returns true if the executable is available on the minion, false otherwise

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cmd.has_exec cat

       salt.modules.cmdmod.powershell(cmd, cwd=None, stdin=None, runas=None,  shell='powershell',
       env=None,  clean_env=False,  template=None, rstrip=True, umask=None, output_encoding=None,
       output_loglevel='debug',   hide_output=False,   timeout=None,    reset_system_locale=True,
       ignore_retcode=False,    saltenv='base',    use_vt=False,    password=None,    depth=None,
       encode_cmd=False,   success_retcodes=None,    success_stdout=None,    success_stderr=None,
       **kwargs)
              Execute the passed PowerShell command and return the output as a dictionary.

              Other  cmd.*  functions  (besides cmd.powershell_all) return the raw text output of
              the command. This function appends | ConvertTo-JSON to the command and then  parses
              the  JSON  into  a  Python  dictionary.  If you want the raw textual result of your
              PowerShell command you should use cmd.run with the shell=powershell option.

              For example:

                 salt '*' cmd.run '$PSVersionTable.CLRVersion' shell=powershell
                 salt '*' cmd.run 'Get-NetTCPConnection' shell=powershell

              New in version 2016.3.0.

              WARNING:
                 This passes  the  cmd  argument  directly  to  PowerShell  without  any  further
                 processing!  Be  absolutely  sure  that  you have properly sanitized the command
                 passed to this function and do not use untrusted inputs.

              In addition to the  normal  cmd.run  parameters,  this  command  offers  the  depth
              parameter  to  change  the  Windows default depth for the ConvertTo-JSON powershell
              command. The Windows default is 2. If you need more depth, set that here.

              NOTE:
                 For some commands, setting the depth to a value greater than 4 greatly increases
                 the  time  it  takes for the command to return and in many cases returns useless
                 data.

              Parameterscmd (str) -- The powershell command to run.

                     • cwd (str) -- The directory from which to execute the command. Defaults  to
                       the home directory of the user specified by runas (or the user under which
                       Salt is running if runas is not specified).

                     • stdin (str) -- A string of standard input can be specified for the command
                       to  be  run  using  the stdin parameter. This can be useful in cases where
                       sensitive information must be read from standard input.

                     • runas (str) -- Specify an alternate user to run the command.  The  default
                       behavior  is to run as the user under which Salt is running. If running on
                       a Windows minion you must also use the password argument, and  the  target
                       user account must be in the Administrators group.

                     • password (str) --

                       Windows  only.  Required  when  specifying  runas.  This parameter will be
                       ignored on non-Windows platforms.

                       New in version 2016.3.0.

                     • shell (str) -- Specify an alternate shell. Defaults to  "powershell".  Can
                       also use "pwsh" for powershell core if present on the system

                     • python_shell  (bool)  --  If  False,  let  python  handle  the  positional
                       arguments.  Set  to  True  to  use  shell  features,  such  as  pipes   or
                       redirection.

                     • env (dict) --

                       Environment variables to be set prior to execution.

                       NOTE:
                          When passing environment variables on the CLI, they should be passed as
                          the string representation of a dictionary.

                              salt myminion cmd.powershell 'some command' env='{"FOO": "bar"}'

                       NOTE:
                          When using environment variables on Window's, case-sensitivity matters,
                          i.e. Window's uses Path as opposed to PATH for other systems.

                     • clean_env  (bool)  --  Attempt  to  clean  out all other shell environment
                       variables and set only those  provided  in  the  'env'  argument  to  this
                       function.

                     • template  (str)  --  If  this setting is applied then the named templating
                       engine will be used to render the downloaded file. Currently jinja,  mako,
                       and wempy are supported.

                     • rstrip  (bool)  -- Strip all whitespace off the end of output before it is
                       returned.

                     • umask (str) -- The umask (in octal) to use when running the command.

                     • output_encoding (str) --

                       Control the encoding used to decode the command's output.

                       NOTE:
                          This should not need to be used in most cases. By  default,  Salt  will
                          try  to use the encoding detected from the system locale, and will fall
                          back to UTF-8 if this fails. This should only need to be used in  cases
                          where  the output of the command is encoded in something other than the
                          system locale or UTF-8.

                          To see the encoding Salt has detected from the system locale, check the
                          locale line in the output of test.versions_report.

                       minion log.

                       NOTE:
                          The command being run will  still  be  logged  at  the  debug  loglevel

                       is treated as an error condition, and the output from the command will  be
                       logged to the minion log. However, there are some cases where programs use
                       the return code for signaling and a nonzero exit code doesn't  necessarily
                       mean failure. Pass this argument as True to skip logging the output if the
                       command has a nonzero exit code.

                       If True, suppress stdout and stderr in the return data.

                       NOTE:
                          This is separate from output_loglevel, which only handles how Salt logs
                          to the minion log.

       salt.modules.cmdmod.powershell_all(cmd,       cwd=None,       stdin=None,      runas=None,

              Execute the passed PowerShell command and return a dictionary with a  result  field
              representing the output of the command, as well as other fields showing us what the
              PowerShell invocation wrote to stderr, the process id, and the  exit  code  of  the
              invocation.

              This  function  appends  |  ConvertTo-JSON  to the command before actually invoking
              powershell.

              An unquoted empty string is not valid JSON, but it's very normal for the Powershell
              output  to  be exactly that. Therefore, we do not attempt to parse empty Powershell
              output (which would result in an exception). Instead we treat  this  as  a  special
              case and one of two things will happen:

              • If  the  value  of the force_list parameter is True, then the result field of the
                return dictionary will be an empty list.

              • If the value of the force_list parameter is False,  then  the  return  dictionary
                will  not have a result key added to it. We aren't setting result to None in this
                case, because None is the Python representation of "null" in JSON.  (We  likewise
                can't use False for the equivalent reason.)

              If  Powershell's output is not an empty string and Python cannot parse its content,
              then a CommandExecutionError exception will be raised.

              If Powershell's output is not an empty string, Python is able to parse its content,
              and  the  type  of  the  resulting Python object is other than list then one of two
              things will happen:

              • If the value of the force_list parameter is True, then the result field will be a
                singleton list with the Python object as its sole member.

              • If  the value of the force_list parameter is False, then the value of result will
                be the unmodified Python object.

              If Powershell's output is not an empty string, Python is able to parse its content,
              and  the type of the resulting Python object is list, then the value of result will
              be the unmodified Python object. The force_list parameter has  no  effect  in  this
              case.

              NOTE:
                 An  example  of  why  the  force_list  parameter  is  useful  is as follows: The
                 Powershell command dir x | Convert-ToJson results in

                 • no output when x is an empty directory.

                 • a dictionary object when x contains just one item.

                 • a list of dictionary objects when x contains multiple items.

                 By setting force_list to True we will always end up with a  list  of  dictionary
                 items,  representing files, no matter how many files x contains.  Conversely, if
                 force_list is False, we will end up with no result key in our return  dictionary
                 when  x  is an empty directory, and a dictionary object when x contains just one
                 file.

              If you want a similar function but with a raw textual result instead  of  a  Python
              dictionary, you should use cmd.run_all in combination with shell=powershell.

              The  remaining  fields in the return dictionary are described in more detail in the
              Returns section.

              Example:

                 salt '*' cmd.run_all '$PSVersionTable.CLRVersion' shell=powershell
                 salt '*' cmd.run_all 'Get-NetTCPConnection' shell=powershell

              WARNING:
                 This passes  the  cmd  argument  directly  to  PowerShell  without  any  further
                 processing!  Be  absolutely  sure  that  you have properly sanitized the command
                 passed to this function and do not use untrusted inputs.

              In addition to the  normal  cmd.run  parameters,  this  command  offers  the  depth
              parameter  to  change  the  Windows default depth for the ConvertTo-JSON powershell
              command. The Windows default is 2. If you need more depth, set that here.

              NOTE:
                 For some commands, setting the depth to a value greater than 4 greatly increases
                 the  time  it  takes for the command to return and in many cases returns useless
                 data.

              Parameterscmd (str) -- The powershell command to run.

                     • cwd (str) -- The directory from which to execute the command. Defaults  to
                       the home directory of the user specified by runas (or the user under which

                     • stdin (str) -- A string of standard input can be specified for the command
                       to  be  run  using  the stdin parameter. This can be useful in cases where
                       sensitive information must be read from standard input.

                     • runas (str) -- Specify an alternate user to run the command.  The  default
                       behavior  is to run as the user under which Salt is running. If running on
                       a Windows minion you must also use the password argument, and  the  target
                       user account must be in the Administrators group.

                     • password  (str)  --  Windows  only.  Required  when specifying runas. This
                       parameter will be ignored on non-Windows platforms.

                     • shell (str) -- Specify an alternate shell. Defaults to  "powershell".  Can
                       also use "pwsh" for powershell core if present on the system

                     • env (dict) --

                       Environment variables to be set prior to execution.

                       NOTE:
                          When passing environment variables on the CLI, they should be passed as

                       engine will be used to render the downloaded file. Currently jinja,  mako,
                       and wempy are supported.

              Parameterscmd (str) -- The command to run. ex: ls -lart /homecwd (str) -- The directory from which to execute the command. Defaults  to
                       the home directory of the user specified by runas (or the user under which
                       Salt is running if runas is not specified).

                     • stdin (str) -- A string of standard input can be specified for the command
                       to  be  run  using  the stdin parameter. This can be useful in cases where
                       sensitive information must be read from standard input.

                     • runas (str) --

                       Specify an alternate user to run the command. The default behavior  is  to
                       run  as  the  user  under  which  Salt is running. If running on a Windows
                       minion you must also use  the  password  argument,  and  the  target  user
                       account must be in the Administrators group.

                       WARNING:
                          For  versions  2018.3.3  and above on macosx while using runas, to pass
                          special characters to the command you need to escape the characters  on
                          the shell.

                          Example:

                       NOTE:
                          When passing environment variables on the CLI, they should be passed as

                       NOTE:
                          This  should  not  need to be used in most cases. By default, Salt will
                          try to use the encoding detected from the system locale, and will  fall
                          back  to UTF-8 if this fails. This should only need to be used in cases

                       is  treated as an error condition, and the output from the command will be
                       logged to the minion log. However, there are some cases where programs use
                       the  return code for signaling and a nonzero exit code doesn't necessarily
                       mean failure. Pass this argument as True to skip logging the output if the
                       command has a nonzero exit code.

              Parameterssuccess_retcodes (list) -- .INDENT 2.0

                     This parameter will allow a list of
                       non-zero return codes that should be considered a success.  If the  return
                       code  returned  from  the run matches any in the provided list, the return
                       code will be overridden with zero.

              This parameter will allow a list of
                strings that when found in standard out  should  be  considered  a  success.   If
                stdout  returned  from  the run matches any in the provided list, the return code

       • success_stderr (list) -- .INDENT 2.0

       This parameter will allow a list of
         strings that when found in standard error should be considered  a  success.   If  stderr
         returned  from  the  run  matches  any  in  the  provided  list, the return code will be

       • stdin_raw_newlines (bool) -- .INDENT 2.0

       False
         If True, Salt will not automatically convert the characters \\n  present  in  the  stdin
         value to newlines.
       • windows_codepage (int) -- .INDENT 2.0

       65001
         Only  applies to Windows: the minion uses C:WindowsSystem32chcp.com to verify or set the
         code page before the command cmd is executed.  Code page 65001  corresponds  with  UTF-8
         and allows international localization of Windows.
                 salt '*' cmd.run "ls -l | awk '/foo/{print \\$2}'"

              The  template  arg  can  be  set to 'jinja' or another supported template engine to
              render the command arguments before execution.  For example:

                 salt '*' cmd.run template=jinja "ls -l /tmp/{{grains.id}} | awk '/foo/{print \\$2}'"

              Specify an alternate shell with the shell parameter:

                 salt '*' cmd.run "Get-ChildItem C:\\ " shell='powershell'

              A string of standard input can be specified for the command to  be  run  using  the
              stdin  parameter.  This  can be useful in cases where sensitive information must be
              read from standard input.

                 salt '*' cmd.run "grep f" stdin='one\\ntwo\\nthree\\nfour\\nfive\\n'

              If an equal sign (=) appears in an argument to a Salt command it is interpreted  as
              a  keyword argument in the format key=val. That processing can be bypassed in order
              to pass an equal sign through to the remote shell command  by  manually  specifying
              the kwarg:

                 salt '*' cmd.run cmd='sed -e s/=/:/g'

              Parameterscmd (str) -- The command to run. ex: ls -lart /homecwd  (str) -- The directory from which to execute the command. Defaults to
                       the home directory of the user specified by runas (or the user under which
                       Salt is running if runas is not specified).

                     • stdin (str) -- A string of standard input can be specified for the command
                       to be run using the stdin parameter. This can be  useful  in  cases  where
                       sensitive information must be read from standard input.

                     • runas (str) --

                       Specify  an  alternate user to run the command. The default behavior is to
                       run as the user under which Salt is  running.  If  running  on  a  Windows
                       minion  you  must  also  use  the  password  argument, and the target user
                       account must be in the Administrators group.

                       WARNING:
                          For versions 2018.3.3 and above on macosx while using  runas,  to  pass
                          special  characters to the command you need to escape the characters on
                          the shell.

                          Example:

                              cmd.run_all 'echo '\''h=\"baz\"'\''' runas=macuser

                     • password (str) --

                       Windows only. Required when  specifying  runas.  This  parameter  will  be
                       ignored on non-Windows platforms.

                       redirection.

                     • env (dict) --

                       Environment variables to be set prior to execution.

                       NOTE:
                          When passing environment variables on the CLI, they should be passed as
                          the string representation of a dictionary.

                              salt myminion cmd.run_all 'some command' env='{"FOO": "bar"}'

                       NOTE:
                          When using environment variables on Window's, case-sensitivity matters,
                          i.e. Window's uses Path as opposed to PATH for other systems.

                     • clean_env  (bool)  --  Attempt  to  clean  out all other shell environment
                       variables and set only those  provided  in  the  'env'  argument  to  this

                     • prepend_path (str) --

                       $PATH segment to prepend (trailing ':' not necessary) to $PATH

                       New in version 2018.3.0.

                     • template  (str)  --  If  this setting is applied then the named templating
                       engine will be used to render the downloaded file. Currently jinja,  mako,
                       and wempy are supported.

                     • rstrip  (bool)  -- Strip all whitespace off the end of output before it is
                       returned.

                     • umask (str) -- The umask (in octal) to use when running the command.

                     • output_encoding (str) --

                       Control the encoding used to decode the command's output.

                       NOTE:
                          This should not need to be used in most cases. By  default,  Salt  will
                          try  to use the encoding detected from the system locale, and will fall
                          back to UTF-8 if this fails. This should only need to be used in  cases
                          where  the output of the command is encoded in something other than the
                          system locale or UTF-8.

                          To see the encoding Salt has detected from the system locale, check the
                          locale line in the output of test.versions_report.

                     • output_loglevel (str) --

                       Control the loglevel at which the output from the command is logged to the
                       minion log.

                       NOTE:
                          The command being run will  still  be  logged  at  the  debug  loglevel
                          regardless, unless quiet is used for this value.

                     • ignore_retcode  (bool) -- If the exit code of the command is nonzero, this
                       is treated as an error condition, and the output from the command will  be
                       logged to the minion log. However, there are some cases where programs use
                       the return code for signaling and a nonzero exit code doesn't  necessarily
                       mean failure. Pass this argument as True to skip logging the output if the
                       command has a nonzero exit code.

                     • hide_output (bool) --

                       If True, suppress stdout and stderr in the return data.

                       NOTE:
                          This is separate from output_loglevel, which only handles how Salt logs
                          to the minion log.

                     • use_vt  (bool)  --  Use  VT utils (saltstack) to stream the command output
                       more interactively to the console and the logs. This is experimental.

                     • encoded_cmd (bool) --

                       Specify if the  supplied  command  is  encoded.   Only  applies  to  shell
                       'powershell' and 'pwsh'.

                       Older  versions  of  powershell seem to return raw xml data in the return.
                       To avoid raw xml data  in  the  return,  prepend  your  command  with  the
                       following before encoding:

                       $ProgressPreference='SilentlyContinue'; <your command>

                       The  following  powershell code block will encode the Write-Output command
                       so that it will not have the raw xml data in the return:

                          # target string
                          $Command = '$ProgressPreference="SilentlyContinue"; Write-Output "hello"'

                          # Convert to Base64 encoded string
                          $Encoded = [convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($command))

                          Write-Output $Encoded

                     • redirect_stderr (bool) --

                       If set to True, then stderr will be redirected to stdout. This is  helpful
                       for  cases  where obtaining both the retcode and output is desired, but it
                       is not desired to have the output separated into both stdout and stderr.

                       NOTE:
                          This should not need to be used in most cases. By  default,  Salt  will

                       ignored on non-Windows platforms.

                       NOTE:
                          When passing environment variables on the CLI, they should be passed as
                          the string representation of a dictionary.

                       NOTE:
                          When using environment variables on Window's, case-sensitivity matters,
                          i.e. Window's uses Path as opposed to PATH for other systems.

                     • output_encoding (str) --

                       Control the encoding used to decode the command's output.

                       NOTE:
                          This  should  not  need to be used in most cases. By default, Salt will
                          try to use the encoding detected from the system locale, and will  fall
                          back  to UTF-8 if this fails. This should only need to be used in cases
                          where the output of the command is encoded in something other than  the
                          system locale or UTF-8.

                          To see the encoding Salt has detected from the system locale, check the
                          locale line in the output of test.versions_report.

                     • output_loglevel (str) --

                       Control the loglevel at which the output from the command is logged to the
                       minion log.

                       NOTE:
                          The  command  being  run  will  still  be  logged at the debug loglevel
                          regardless, unless quiet is used for this value.

                     • ignore_retcode (bool) -- If the exit code of the command is nonzero,  this
                       is  treated as an error condition, and the output from the command will be
                       logged to the minion log. However, there are some cases where programs use
                       the  return code for signaling and a nonzero exit code doesn't necessarily
                       mean failure. Pass this argument as True to skip logging the output if the
                       command has a nonzero exit code.

                     • hide_output (bool) --

                       If True, suppress stdout and stderr in the return data.

                       NOTE:
                          This is separate from output_loglevel, which only handles how Salt logs
                          to the minion log.

                       sigkill

                       more interactively to the console and the logs. This is experimental.

                     This parameter will allow a list of

              This parameter will allow a list of

                stdout returned from the run matches any in the provided list,  the  return  code

              The  script  will  be  executed  directly,  so  it  can be written in any available
              programming language.

              The script can also be formatted as a template, the default is jinja.

                       if  no  args  are specified as part of the name argument. To pass a string
                       containing spaces in YAML, you will need to doubly-quote  it:  "arg1  'arg

                       ignored on non-Windows platforms.

                       New in version 2016.3.0.

                     • shell (int) -- Shell to execute under.  Defaults  to  the  system  default
                       shell.

                     • bg  (bool)  --  If  True,  run  command  in background and do not await or
                       deliver its results

                     • env (dict) --

                       Environment variables to be set prior to execution.

                       NOTE:
                          When passing environment variables on the CLI, they should be passed as
                          the string representation of a dictionary.

                              salt myminion cmd.shell 'some command' env='{"FOO": "bar"}'

                       NOTE:
                          When using environment variables on Window's, case-sensitivity matters,
                          i.e. Window's uses Path as opposed to PATH for other systems.

                     • clean_env (bool) -- Attempt to  clean  out  all  other  shell  environment
                       variables  and  set  only  those  provided  in  the 'env' argument to this
                       function.

                     • prepend_path (str) --

                       $PATH segment to prepend (trailing ':' not necessary) to $PATH

                       New in version 2018.3.0.

                     • template (str) -- If this setting is applied  then  the  named  templating
                       engine  will be used to render the downloaded file. Currently jinja, mako,
                       and wempy are supported.

                     • rstrip (bool) -- Strip all whitespace off the end of output before  it  is
                       returned.

                     • umask (str) -- The umask (in octal) to use when running the command.

                     • output_encoding (str) --

                       Control the encoding used to decode the command's output.

                       NOTE:
                          This  should  not  need to be used in most cases. By default, Salt will
                          try to use the encoding detected from the system locale, and will  fall
                          back  to UTF-8 if this fails. This should only need to be used in cases
                          where the output of the command is encoded in something other than  the
                          system locale or UTF-8.

                          To see the encoding Salt has detected from the system locale, check the
                          locale line in the output of test.versions_report.

                       New in version 2018.3.0.

                     • output_loglevel (str) --

                       Control the loglevel at which the output from the command is logged to the
                       minion log.

                       NOTE:
                          The  command  being  run  will  still  be  logged at the debug loglevel
                          regardless, unless quiet is used for this value.

                     • ignore_retcode (bool) -- If the exit code of the command is nonzero,  this
                       is  treated as an error condition, and the output from the command will be
                       logged to the minion log. However, there are some cases where programs use
                       the  return code for signaling and a nonzero exit code doesn't necessarily
                       mean failure. Pass this argument as True to skip logging the output if the
                       command has a nonzero exit code.

                     • hide_output (bool) --

                       If True, suppress stdout and stderr in the return data.

                       NOTE:
                          This is separate from output_loglevel, which only handles how Salt logs
                          to the minion log.

                       New in version 2018.3.0.

                     • timeout (int) -- A timeout in seconds for the executed process to return.

                     • use_vt (bool) -- Use VT utils (saltstack) to  stream  the  command  output
                       more interactively to the console and the logs. This is experimental.

              WARNING:
                 This  passes  the  cmd  argument  directly  to  the  shell  without  any further

                 passed to this function and do not use untrusted inputs.

              Parameterssuccess_retcodes (list) -- .INDENT 2.0

                     This parameter will allow a list of
                       non-zero  return codes that should be considered a success.  If the return
                       code returned from the run matches any in the provided  list,  the  return
                       code will be overridden with zero.

                     New in version 2019.2.0.

              • success_stdout (list) -- .INDENT 2.0

              This parameter will allow a list of
                strings  that  when  found  in  standard  out should be considered a success.  If
                stdout returned from the run matches any in the provided list,  the  return  code
                will be overridden with zero.

              New in version 3004.

       • success_stderr (list) -- .INDENT 2.0

       This parameter will allow a list of
         strings  that  when  found  in standard error should be considered a success.  If stderr
         returned from the run matches any  in  the  provided  list,  the  return  code  will  be
         overridden with zero.

       New in version 3004.

       • stdin_raw_newlines (bool) -- .INDENT 2.0

       False
         If  True,  Salt  will  not  automatically convert the characters \n present in the stdin
         value to newlines.
                 salt '*' cmd.shell "ls -l | awk '/foo/{print \$2}'"

              The template arg can be set to 'jinja' or  another  supported  template  engine  to
              render the command arguments before execution.  For example:

                 salt '*' cmd.shell template=jinja "ls -l /tmp/{{grains.id}} | awk '/foo/{print \$2}'"

              Specify an alternate shell with the shell parameter:

                 salt '*' cmd.shell "Get-ChildItem C:\ " shell='powershell'

              A  string  of  standard  input can be specified for the command to be run using the
              stdin parameter. This can be useful in cases where sensitive  information  must  be
              read from standard input.

                 salt '*' cmd.shell "grep f" stdin='one\ntwo\nthree\nfour\nfive\n'

              If  an equal sign (=) appears in an argument to a Salt command it is interpreted as
              a keyword argument in the format key=val. That processing can be bypassed in  order
              to  pass  an  equal sign through to the remote shell command by manually specifying
              the kwarg:

                 salt '*' cmd.shell cmd='sed -e s/=/:/g'

              NOTE:installed is always returned, if None or False also returns error and may also
                   return stdout for diagnostics.

                 • version  is  for  use in determine if a shell/script language has a particular
                   feature set, not for package management.

              New in version 0.14.0.

              Attempt to retrieve the named value from the minion config file, pillar, grains  or
              the  master config. If the named value is not available, return the value specified
              by the default argument. If this argument is not specified, default falls  back  to
              an empty string.

              Values  can  also  be  retrieved  from  nested  dictionaries. Assume the below data
              structure:

                 {'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

              To retrieve the value  associated  with  the  apache  key,  in  the  sub-dictionary
              corresponding to the pkg key, the following command can be used:

                 salt myminion config.get pkg:apache

              The : (colon) is used to represent a nested dictionary level.

              Changed  in version 2015.5.0: The delimiter argument was added, to allow delimiters
              other than : to be used.

              This function traverses these data stores in this order, returning the first  match
              found:

              • Minion configuration

              • Minion's grains

              • Minion's pillar data

              • Master  configuration  (requires  pillar_opts  to be set to True in Minion config
                file in order to work)

              This means that if there is a value that is going to be the same for  the  majority
              of  minions,  it  can  be configured in the Master config file, and then overridden
              using the grains, pillar, or Minion config file.

              Adding config options to the Master or Minion configuration file is easy:

                 my-config-option: value
                 cafe-menu:
                   - egg and bacon

              NOTE:
                 Minion configuration options built into Salt  (like  those  defined  here)  will
                 always  be  defined in the Minion configuration and thus cannot be overridden by
                 grains or pillar data. However, additional (user-defined) configuration  options
                 (as in the above example) will not be in the Minion configuration by default and
                 thus can be overridden using grains/pillar data by leaving the option out of the
                 minion config file.

              Arguments

              delimiter
                     New in version 2015.5.0.

                     Override the delimiter used to separate nested levels of a data structure.

              merge  New in version 2015.5.0.

                     If  passed, this parameter will change the behavior of the function so that,
                     instead of traversing each data store above in order and returning the first
                     match,  the  data  stores  are  first merged together and then searched. The
                     pillar data is merged into the master  config  data,  then  the  grains  are
                     merged, followed by the Minion config data.  The resulting data structure is
                     then searched for a  match.  This  allows  for  configurations  to  be  more
                     flexible.

                     NOTE:
                        The  merging described above does not mean that grain data will end up in
                        the Minion's pillar data, or pillar data will end up in the master config
                        data,  etc.  The  data  is just combined for the purposes of searching an
                        amalgam of the different data stores.

                     The supported merge strategies are as follows:

                     • recurse - If a key exists in both dictionaries, and the new value is not a
                       dictionary,  it  is  replaced.  Otherwise, the sub-dictionaries are merged
                       together into a single dictionary, recursively on down, following the same
                       criteria. For example:

                          >>> dict1 = {'foo': {'bar': 1, 'qux': True},
                                       'hosts': ['a', 'b', 'c'],
                                       'only_x': None}
                          >>> dict2 = {'foo': {'baz': 2, 'qux': False},
                                       'hosts': ['d', 'e', 'f'],
                                       'only_y': None}
                          >>> merged
                          {'foo': {'bar': 1, 'baz': 2, 'qux': False},
                           'hosts': ['d', 'e', 'f'],
                           'only_dict1': None,
                           'only_dict2': None}

                     • overwrite - If a key exists in the top level of both dictionaries, the new
                       value completely overwrites the old. For example:

                          >>> dict1 = {'foo': {'bar': 1, 'qux': True},
                                       'hosts': ['a', 'b', 'c'],
                                       'only_x': None}
                          >>> dict2 = {'foo': {'baz': 2, 'qux': False},
                                       'hosts': ['d', 'e', 'f'],
                                       'only_y': None}
                          >>> merged
                          {'foo': {'baz': 2, 'qux': False},
                           'hosts': ['d', 'e', 'f'],
                           'only_dict1': None,
                           'only_dict2': None}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' config.get pkg:apache
                 salt '*' config.get lxc.container_profile:centos merge=recurse

       salt.modules.config.items()
              Return the complete  config  from  the  currently  running  minion  process.   This
              includes defaults for values not set in the config file.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' config.items

       salt.modules.config.manage_mode(mode)
              Return a mode value, normalized to a string

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' config.manage_mode

       salt.modules.config.merge(value,     default='',    omit_opts=False,    omit_master=False,
       omit_pillar=False)
              Retrieves an option based on key, merging all matches.

              Same as option() except that it merges all matches, rather than  taking  the  first
              match.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' config.merge schedule

       salt.modules.config.option(value,    default=None,   omit_opts=False,   omit_grains=False,
       omit_pillar=False, omit_master=False, omit_all=False, wildcard=False)
              Returns the setting for the specified config value. The priority for matches is the
              same  as  in  config.get,  only  this  function  does  not recurse into nested data
              structures. Another difference between this function  and  config.get  is  that  it
              comes  with  a  set  of  "sane defaults".  To view these, you can run the following
              command:

                 salt '*' config.option '*' omit_all=True wildcard=True

              default
                     The default value if no match is found. If not specified, then the  fallback
                     default  will  be  an  empty string, unless wildcard=True, in which case the
                     return will be an empty dictionary.

              omit_opts
                     False Pass as True to exclude matches from the minion configuration file

              omit_grains
                     False Pass as True to exclude matches from the grains

              omit_pillar
                     False Pass as True to exclude matches from the pillar data

              omit_master
                     False Pass as True to exclude matches from the master configuration file

              omit_all
                     True Shorthand to omit all of the above and return  matches  only  from  the
                     "sane defaults".

                     New in version 3000.

              wildcard
                     False  If  used,  this will perform pattern matching on keys. Note that this
                     will also significantly change the return data.  Instead  of  only  a  value
                     being  returned,  a  dictionary  mapping the matched keys to their values is
                     returned. For example, using wildcard=True with  a  key  of  'foo.ba*  could
                     return a dictionary like so:

                        {'foo.bar': True, 'foo.baz': False}

                     New in version 3000.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' config.option redis.host

       salt.modules.config.valid_fileproto(uri)
              Returns  a  boolean value based on whether or not the URI passed has a valid remote
              file protocol designation

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' config.valid_fileproto salt://path/to/file

                       operation.

              Returns
                     Boolean & message of success or failure.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' consul.put key='web/key1' value="Hello there"

                 salt '*' consul.put key='web/key1' value="Hello there" acquire='d5d371f4-c380-5280-12fd-8810be175592'

                 salt '*' consul.put key='web/key1' value="Hello there" release='d5d371f4-c380-5280-12fd-8810be175592'

       salt.modules.consul.session_create(consul_url=None, token=None, **kwargs)
              Used to create a session.

              Parametersconsul_url -- The Consul server URL.

                     • lockdelay  -- Duration string using a "s" suffix for seconds.  The default
                       is 15s.

                     • node -- Must refer to a node that is already registered, if specified.  By
                       default, the agent's own node name is used.

                     • name -- A human-readable name for the session

                     • checks  --  A  list  of associated health checks. It is highly recommended
                       that, if you override this list, you include the default "serfHealth".

                     • behavior -- Can be set to either release  or  delete.  This  controls  the
                       behavior  when  a  session  is  invalidated.  By default, this is release,
                       causing any locks that are held to be released. Changing  this  to  delete
                       causes  any  locks  that  are  held  to  be  deleted. delete is useful for
                       creating ephemeral key/value entries.

                     • ttl -- Session is invalidated if it is not renewed before the TTL expires

              Returns
                     Boolean and message indicating success or failure.

              CLI Example:

   salt.modules.container_resource
       Common resources for LXC and systemd-nspawn containers

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       These functions are not designed to be called directly, but instead from the lxc,  nspawn,
       and  docker  execution  modules.  They  provide  for common logic to be re-used for common
       actions.

       salt.modules.container_resource.cache_file(source)
              Wrapper for cp.cache_file which raises an error  if  the  file  was  unable  to  be
              cached.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion container_resource.cache_file salt://foo/bar/baz.txt

       salt.modules.container_resource.copy_to(name,     source,    dest,    container_type=None,
       path=None, exec_driver=None, overwrite=False, makedirs=False)
              Common logic for copying files to containers

              path   path to the container parent (for LXC only)  default:  /var/lib/lxc  (system
                     default)

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion container_resource.copy_to mycontainer /local/file/path /container/file/path container_type=docker exec_driver=nsenter

       salt.modules.container_resource.run(name,   cmd,   container_type=None,  exec_driver=None,
       output=None,  no_start=False,  stdin=None,   python_shell=True,   output_loglevel='debug',
       ignore_retcode=False, path=None, use_vt=False, keep_env=None)
              Common logic for running shell commands in containers

              path   path  to  the  container parent (for LXC only) default: /var/lib/lxc (system
                     default)

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion container_resource.run mycontainer 'ps aux' container_type=docker exec_driver=nsenter output=stdout

   salt.modules.cp
       Minion side functions for salt-cp

       salt.modules.cp.cache_dest(url, saltenv='base')
              New in version 3000.

              Returns the expected cache path for the file, if cached using cp.cache_file.

              NOTE:
                 This only returns the _expected_ path, it does not tell you if the URL is really
                 cached. To check if the URL is cached, use cp.is_cached instead.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_dest https://foo.com/bar.rpm
                 salt '*' cp.cache_dest salt://my/file
                 salt '*' cp.cache_dest salt://my/file saltenv=dev

       salt.modules.cp.cache_dir(path,   saltenv='base',  include_empty=False,  include_pat=None,
       exclude_pat=None)
              Download and cache everything under a directory from the master

              include_pat
                     None Glob or regex to narrow down the files cached from the given  path.  If
                     matching  with  a  regex,  the regex must be prefixed with E@, otherwise the
                     expression will be interpreted as a glob.

                     New in version 2014.7.0.

              exclude_pat
                     None Glob or regex to exclude certain files from being cached from the given
                     path.  If  matching  with  a  regex,  the  regex  must  be prefixed with E@,
                     otherwise the expression will be interpreted as a glob.

                     NOTE:
                        If used with include_pat, files matching this pattern  will  be  excluded
                        from the subset of files defined by include_pat.

                     New in version 2014.7.0.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_dir salt://path/to/dir
                 salt '*' cp.cache_dir salt://path/to/dir include_pat='E@*.py$'

       salt.modules.cp.cache_file(path, saltenv='base', source_hash=None, verify_ssl=True)
              Used to cache a single file on the Minion

              Returns the location of the new cached file on the Minion

              source_hash
                     If  name  is  an http(s) or ftp URL and the file exists in the minion's file
                     cache, this option can be passed to keep the minion from re-downloading  the
                     file if the cached copy matches the specified hash.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              verify_ssl
                     If  False,  remote  https  file  sources (https://) and source_hash will not
                     attempt to validate the servers certificate. Default is True.

                     New in version 3002.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_file salt://path/to/file

              There are two ways of defining the fileserver environment  (a.k.a.   saltenv)  from
              which  to  cache the file. One is to use the saltenv parameter, and the other is to
              use a querystring syntax in the salt:// URL. The below two examples are equivalent:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_file salt://foo/bar.conf saltenv=config
                 salt '*' cp.cache_file salt://foo/bar.conf?saltenv=config

              If the path being cached is a salt:// URI, and the path does not exist, then  False
              will be returned.

              NOTE:
                 It  may  be  necessary  to  quote  the  URL  when  using the querystring method,
                 depending on the shell being used to run the command.

       salt.modules.cp.cache_files(paths, saltenv='base')
              Used to gather many files from the Master, the gathered files will be saved in  the
              minion cachedir reflective to the paths retrieved from the Master

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_files salt://pathto/file1,salt://pathto/file1

              There  are  two  ways of defining the fileserver environment (a.k.a.  saltenv) from
              which to cache the files. One is to use the saltenv parameter, and the other is  to
              use a querystring syntax in the salt:// URL. The below two examples are equivalent:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_files salt://foo/bar.conf,salt://foo/baz.conf saltenv=config
                 salt '*' cp.cache_files salt://foo/bar.conf?saltenv=config,salt://foo/baz.conf?saltenv=config

              The querystring method is less useful when all files are being cached from the same
              environment,  but  is  a  good  way  of  caching  files  from  multiple   different
              environments  in  the  same  command. For example, the below command will cache the
              first file from the config1 environment,  and  the  second  one  from  the  config2
              environment.

                 salt '*' cp.cache_files salt://foo/bar.conf?saltenv=config1,salt://foo/bar.conf?saltenv=config2

              NOTE:
                 It  may  be  necessary  to  quote  the  URL  when  using the querystring method,
                 depending on the shell being used to run the command.

       salt.modules.cp.cache_local_file(path)
              Cache a local file on the minion in the localfiles cache

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_local_file /etc/hosts

       salt.modules.cp.cache_master(saltenv='base')
              Retrieve all of the files on the master and cache them locally

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.cache_master

       salt.modules.cp.envs()
              List available environments for fileserver

              CLI Example

                 salt '*' cp.envs

       salt.modules.cp.get_dir(path, dest, saltenv='base', template=None, gzip=None, **kwargs)
              Used to recursively copy a directory from the salt master

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.get_dir salt://path/to/dir/ /minion/dest

              get_dir supports the same template and gzip arguments as get_file.

       salt.modules.cp.get_file(path,  dest,   saltenv='base',   makedirs=False,   template=None,
       gzip=None, **kwargs)
              Changed in version 2018.3.0: dest can now be a directory

              Used to get a single file from the salt master

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.get_file salt://path/to/file /minion/dest

              Template  rendering  can  be  enabled on both the source and destination file names
              like so:

                 salt '*' cp.get_file "salt://{{grains.os}}/vimrc" /etc/vimrc template=jinja

              This example would instruct all Salt minions to download the vimrc from a directory
              with the same name as their os grain and copy it to /etc/vimrc

              For  larger  files, the cp.get_file module also supports gzip compression.  Because
              gzip is CPU-intensive, this should only be used in scenarios where the  compression
              ratio is very high (e.g. pretty-printed JSON or YAML files).

              Use  the  gzip  named argument to enable it.  Valid values are 1..9, where 1 is the
              lightest compression and 9 the heaviest.  1 uses the least CPU on the  master  (and
              minion), 9 uses the most.

              There  are  two  ways of defining the fileserver environment (a.k.a.  saltenv) from
              which to retrieve the file. One is to use the saltenv parameter, and the  other  is
              to  use  a  querystring  syntax  in  the  salt://  URL.  The below two examples are
              equivalent:

                 salt '*' cp.get_file salt://foo/bar.conf /etc/foo/bar.conf saltenv=config
                 salt '*' cp.get_file salt://foo/bar.conf?saltenv=config /etc/foo/bar.conf

              NOTE:
                 It may be necessary  to  quote  the  URL  when  using  the  querystring  method,
                 depending on the shell being used to run the command.

       salt.modules.cp.get_file_str(path, saltenv='base')
              Download a file from a URL to the Minion cache directory and return the contents of
              that file

              Returns False if Salt was unable to cache a file from a URL.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.get_file_str salt://my/file

       salt.modules.cp.get_template(path, dest, template='jinja', saltenv='base', makedirs=False,
       **kwargs)
              Render a file as a template before setting it down.  Warning, order is not the same
              as in fileclient.cp for non breaking old API.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.get_template salt://path/to/template /minion/dest

       salt.modules.cp.get_url(path, dest='', saltenv='base', makedirs=False, source_hash=None)
              Changed in version 2018.3.0: dest can now be a directory

              Used to get a single file from a URL.

              path   A URL to download a file from. Supported URL schemes are: salt://,  http://,
                     https://,  ftp://,  s3://,  swift://  and  file:// (local filesystem). If no
                     scheme was specified, this is equivalent of using file://.  If a file:// URL
                     is  given,  the  function just returns absolute path to that file on a local
                     filesystem.  The function returns False if Salt was unable to fetch  a  file
                     from a salt:// URL.

              dest   The  default behaviour is to write the fetched file to the given destination
                     path. If this parameter is omitted or set as empty string (''), the function
                     places  the  remote  file  on  the  local filesystem inside the Minion cache
                     directory and returns the path to that file.

                     NOTE:
                        To simply return the file contents instead, set destination to None. This
                        works with salt://, http://, https:// and file:// URLs. The files fetched
                        by http:// and https:// will not be cached.

              saltenv
                     base Salt fileserver environment from which to retrieve the file. Ignored if
                     path is not a salt:// URL.

              source_hash
                     If  path  is  an http(s) or ftp URL and the file exists in the minion's file
                     cache, this option can be passed to keep the minion from re-downloading  the
                     file if the cached copy matches the specified hash.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' cp.get_url salt://my/file /tmp/this_file_is_mine
                 salt '*' cp.get_url http://www.slashdot.org /tmp/index.html

       salt.modules.cp.hash_file(path, saltenv='base')
              Return the hash of a file, to get the hash of a file on the salt master file server
              prepend the path with salt://<file on server> otherwise, prepend the  file  with  /
              for a local file.

       salt.modules.cp.recv(files, dest)
              Used with salt-cp, pass the files dict, and the destination.

              This function receives small fast copy files from the master via salt-cp.  It  does
              not work via the CLI.

       salt.modules.cp.recv_chunked(dest, chunk, append=False, compressed=True, mode=None)
              This function receives files copied to the minion using salt-cp and is not intended

       configuration
              If  you  want  to  use  TSIG  authentication  for the server, there are a couple of
              optional configuration parameters made available to support this  (the  keyname  is
              only needed if the keyring contains more than one key):

                 keyfile: keyring file (default=None)
                 keyname: key name in file (default=None)
                 keyalgorithm: algorithm used to create the key
                               (default='HMAC-MD5.SIG-ALG.REG.INT').

   salt.modules.debuild_pkgbuild
       Debian Package builder system

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       This  system  allows  for  all  of  the  components  to  build  debs  safely  in  chrooted
       environments. This also provides a function to generate debian repositories

       This module implements the pkgbuild interface

       salt.modules.debuild_pkgbuild.build(runas,   tgt,  dest_dir,  spec,  sources,  deps,  env,
       template, saltenv='base', log_dir='/var/log/salt/pkgbuild')
              Given the package destination directory, the tarball containing debian files  (e.g.
              control) and package sources, use pbuilder to safely build the platform package

              CLI Example:

              Debian

                 salt '*' pkgbuild.make_src_pkg deb-8-x86_64 /var/www/html
                         https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saltstack/libnacl/master/pkg/deb/python-libnacl.control
                         https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/l/libnacl/libnacl-1.3.5.tar.gz

              This example command should build the libnacl package for Debian using pbuilder and
              place it in /var/www/html/ on the minion

       salt.modules.debuild_pkgbuild.make_repo(repodir,           keyid=None,           env=None,
       use_passphrase=False, gnupghome='/etc/salt/gpgkeys', runas='root', timeout=15.0)
              Make a package repository and optionally sign it and packages present

              Given  the  repodir (directory to create repository in), create a Debian repository
              and optionally sign it and packages present. This state is best used with onchanges
              linked to your package building states.

              repodir
                     The directory to find packages that will be in the repository.

              keyid  Changed in version 2016.3.0.

                     Optional Key ID to use in signing packages and repository.  This consists of
                     the last 8 hex digits of the GPG key ID.

                     Utilizes Public and Private keys  associated  with  keyid  which  have  been
                     loaded   into   the   minion's   Pillar   data.   Leverages   gpg-agent  and
                     gpg-preset-passphrase for  caching  keys,  etc.   These  pillar  values  are
                     assumed  to  be  filenames  which  are present in gnupghome. The pillar keys
                     shown below have to match exactly.

                     For example, contents from a Pillar data file with named Public and  Private
                     keys as follows:

                        gpg_pkg_priv_keyname: gpg_pkg_key.pem
                        gpg_pkg_pub_keyname: gpg_pkg_key.pub

              env    Changed in version 2016.3.0.

                     A  dictionary  of  environment  variables  to  be  utilized  in creating the
                     repository.

              use_passphrase
                     False New in version 2016.3.0.

                     Use a passphrase with the signing key presented  in  keyid.   Passphrase  is
                     received  from  Pillar  data  which could be passed on the command line with
                     pillar parameter. For example:

                        pillar='{ "gpg_passphrase" : "my_passphrase" }'

              gnupghome
                     /etc/salt/gpgkeys New in version 2016.3.0.

                     Location where GPG related files are stored, used with keyid.

              runas  root New in version 2016.3.0.

                     User to create the repository as, and optionally sign packages.

                     NOTE:
                        Ensure the user has correct permissions  to  any  files  and  directories
                        which are to be utilized.

              timeout
                     15.0 New in version 2016.3.4.

                     Timeout in seconds to wait for the prompt for inputting the passphrase.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkgbuild.make_repo /var/www/html

       salt.modules.debuild_pkgbuild.make_src_pkg(dest_dir,      spec,     sources,     env=None,
       saltenv='base', runas='root')
              Create a platform specific source package from the given platform spec/control file
              and sources

              CLI Example:

              Debian

                 salt '*' pkgbuild.make_src_pkg /var/www/html/
                         https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saltstack/libnacl/master/pkg/deb/python-libnacl.control.tar.xz
                         https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/l/libnacl/libnacl-1.3.5.tar.gz

              This  example  command  should  build  the  libnacl  SOURCE package and place it in
              /var/www/html/ on the minion

              dest_dir
                     Absolute path for directory to write source package

              env    None A list  or dictionary of environment  variables  to  be  set  prior  to
                     execution.  Example:

                        - env:
                            - DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS: 'nocheck'

                     WARNING:
                        The  above  illustrates  a  common PyYAML pitfall, that yes, no, on, off,
                        true, and false are all loaded as boolean True and False values, and must
                        be  enclosed  in  quotes  to  be  used as strings. More info on this (and

              saltenv: base
                 Salt environment variables

              runas  root New in version 2019.2.1.

                     User to create the files and directories

                     NOTE:
                        Ensure the user has correct permissions  to  any  files  and  directories
                        which are to be utilized.

   salt.modules.defaults
       Module to work with salt formula defaults files

       salt.modules.defaults.deepcopy(source)
              Allows deep copy of objects in formulas.
                 By  default,  Python does not copy objects, it creates bindings between a target
                 and an object.

              It is more typical to use this in a templating language  in  formulas,  instead  of
              directly on the command-line.

       salt.modules.defaults.get(key, default='')
              defaults.get  is used much like pillar.get except that it will read a default value
              for a pillar from defaults.json or defaults.yaml files that are stored in the  root
              of a salt formula.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' defaults.get core:users:root

              The  defaults  is  computed  from  pillar key. The first entry is considered as the
              formula namespace.

              For example, querying core:users:root will try  to  load  salt://core/defaults.yaml
              and salt://core/defaults.json.

       salt.modules.defaults.merge(dest, src, merge_lists=False, in_place=True)
              Allows deep merging of dicts in formulas.

              merge_lists
                     False If True, it will also merge lists instead of replace their items.

              in_place
                     True  If  True, it will merge into dest dict, if not it will make a new copy
                     from that dict and return it.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' defaults.merge '{a: b}' '{d: e}'

              It is more typical to use this in a templating language  in  formulas,  instead  of
              directly on the command-line.

       salt.modules.defaults.update(dest, defaults, merge_lists=True, in_place=True)
              Allows setting defaults for group of data set e.g. group for nodes.
                 This  function is a combination of defaults.merge and defaults.deepcopy to avoid
                 redundant in jinja.

                 Example:

                     group01:
                       defaults:
                         enabled: True
                         extra:
                           - test
                           - stage
                       nodes:
                         host01:
                           index: foo
                           upstream: bar
                         host02:
                           index: foo2
                           upstream: bar2

                     {% do salt['defaults.update'](group01.nodes, group01.defaults) %}

                 Each node will look like the following:

                     host01:
                       enabled: True
                       index: foo
                       upstream: bar
                       extra:
                         - test
                         - stage

              merge_lists
                     True If True, it will also merge lists instead of replace their items.

              in_place
                     True If True, it will merge into dest dict.  if not it will make a new  copy
                     from that dict and return it.

              It  is  more  typical  to use this in a templating language in formulas, instead of
              directly on the command-line.

       salt.modules.devinfo.filter_(udev_in=None, udev_ex=None)
              Returns a list of devices, filtered under udev keys.

              udev_in
                     A dictionary of key:values that are expected in the device udev information

              udev_ex
                     A dictionary of  key:values  that  are  not  expected  in  the  device  udev
                     information (excluded)

              The  key  is a lower case string, joined by dots, that represent a path in the udev
              information dictionary. For example,  'e.id_bus'  will  represent  the  udev  entry
              udev['E']['ID_BUS']

              If  the udev entry is a list, the algorithm will check that at least one item match
              one item of the value of the parameters.

              Returns list of devices that match udev_in and do not match udev_ex.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' devinfo.filter udev_in='{"e.id_bus": "ata"}'

   salt.modules.dig
       Compendium  of  generic  DNS  utilities.  The 'dig' command line tool must be installed in
       order to use this module.

       salt.modules.dig.A(host, nameserver=None)
              Return the A record for host.

              Always returns a list.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dig.A www.google.com

       salt.modules.dig.AAAA(host, nameserver=None)
              Return the AAAA record for host.

              Always returns a list.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dig.AAAA www.google.com

       salt.modules.dig.MX(domain, resolve=False, nameserver=None)
              Return a list of lists for the MX of domain.

              If the resolve argument is True, resolve IPs for the servers.

              It's limited to one IP, because although in  practice  it's  very  rarely  a  round
              robin,  it  is an acceptable configuration and pulling just one IP lets the data be
              similar to the non-resolved version. If you think an MX has multiple IPs, don't use
              the resolver here, resolve them in a separate step.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dig.MX google.com

       salt.modules.dig.NS(domain, resolve=True, nameserver=None)
              Return a list of IPs of the nameservers for domain

              If resolve is False, don't resolve names.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dig.NS google.com

       salt.modules.dig.SPF(domain, record='SPF', nameserver=None)
              Return the allowed IPv4 ranges in the SPF record for domain.

              If  record  is  SPF  and  the  SPF record is empty, the TXT record will be searched
              automatically. If you know the domain uses TXT and not SPF,  specifying  that  will
              save a lookup.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dig.SPF google.com

       salt.modules.dig.TXT(host, nameserver=None)
              Return the TXT record for host.

              Check if address is a valid IP. returns True if valid, otherwise False.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dig.check_ip 127.0.0.1
                 salt ns1 dig.check_ip 1111:2222:3333:4444:5555:6666:7777:8888

       salt.modules.dig.mx(domain, resolve=False, nameserver=None)
              Return a list of lists for the MX of domain.

              If the resolve argument is True, resolve IPs for the servers.

              It's  limited  to  one  IP,  because  although in practice it's very rarely a round

       salt.modules.dig.ns(domain, resolve=True, nameserver=None)
              Return a list of IPs of the nameservers for domain

              If resolve is False, don't resolve names.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dig.NS google.com

       salt.modules.disk.format_(device,  fs_type='ext4', inode_size=None, lazy_itable_init=None,
       fat=None, force=False)
              Format a filesystem onto a device

              New in version 2016.11.0.

              device The device in which to create the new filesystem

              fs_type
                     The type of filesystem to create

              inode_size
                     Size of the inodes

                     This option is only enabled for ext and xfs filesystems

              lazy_itable_init
                     If enabled and the uninit_bg feature is enabled, the inode table will not be
                     fully  initialized  by  mke2fs.   This  speeds  up filesystem initialization
                     noticeably, but it requires the kernel to finish initializing the filesystem
                     in   the   background  when  the filesystem is first mounted.  If the option
                     value is omitted, it defaults to 1 to enable lazy inode table zeroing.

                     This option is only enabled for ext filesystems

              fat    FAT size option. Can be 12, 16 or 32, and can only be used on  fat  or  vfat
                     filesystems.

              force  Force  mke2fs  to create a filesystem, even if the specified device is not a
                     partition on a block special device. This option is only enabled for ext and
                     xfs filesystems

                     This option is dangerous, use it with caution.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' disk.format /dev/sdX1

       salt.modules.disk.fstype(device)
              Return the filesystem name of the specified device

                     django-admin will use the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable.

              app_label
                     Specific  app  to run migrations for, instead of all apps.  This may involve
                     running other apps’ migrations too, due to dependencies.

              migration_name
                     Named migration to be applied to a specific app.  Brings the database schema
                     to  a state where the named migration is applied, but no later migrations in
                     the same app are applied. This may involve unapplying migrations if you have
                     previously  migrated past the named migration.  Use the name zero to unapply
                     all migrations for an app.

              bin_env
                     Path to pip (or to a virtualenv). This can be used to specify  the  path  to
                     the  pip  to  use  when  more  than  one  Python  release is installed (e.g.
                     /usr/bin/pip-2.7 or /usr/bin/pip-2.6. If a directory path is  specified,  it
                     is assumed to be a virtualenv.

              database
                     Database to migrate. Defaults to 'default'.

              pythonpath
                     Adds  the  given  filesystem path to the Python import search path.  If this
                     isn’t provided, django-admin will use the PYTHONPATH environment variable.

              env    A list of environment variables to be set prior to execution.

                     Example:

                        module.run:
                          - name: django.migrate
                          - settings_module: my_django_app.settings
                          - env:
                            - DATABASE_USER: 'mydbuser'

              noinput
                     Suppresses all user prompts. Defaults to True.

              runas  The user name to run the command as.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' django.migrate <settings_module>
                 salt '*' django.migrate <settings_module> <app_label>
                 salt '*' django.migrate <settings_module> <app_label> <migration_name>

       salt.modules.djangomod.syncdb(settings_module, bin_env=None, migrate=False, database=None,
       pythonpath=None, env=None, noinput=True, runas=None)
              Run syncdb

              Execute  the  Django-Admin  syncdb command, if South is available on the minion the
              migrate option can be passed as True calling the migrations to run after the syncdb
              completes

              NOTE:  The  syncdb  command was deprecated in Django 1.7 and removed in Django 1.9.
              For Django versions 1.9 or higher use the migrate command instead.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' django.syncdb <settings_module>

   salt.modules.dnsmasq
       Module for managing dnsmasq

       salt.modules.dnsmasq.fullversion()
              Shows installed version of dnsmasq and compile options.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' dnsmasq.fullversion

       salt.modules.dnsmasq.get_config(config_file='/etc/dnsmasq.conf')
              Dumps all options from the config file.

              config_file
                     The location of the config file from which to obtain contents.  Defaults  to
                     /etc/dnsmasq.conf.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' dnsmasq.get_config
                 salt '*' dnsmasq.get_config config_file=/etc/dnsmasq.conf

       salt.modules.dnsmasq.set_config(config_file='/etc/dnsmasq.conf', follow=True, **kwargs)
              Sets  a  value or a set of values in the specified file. By default, if conf-dir is
              configured in this file, salt will attempt to set the option in any file inside the
              conf-dir  where  it  has  already  been  enabled. If it does not find it inside any
              files, it will append it to the main config file. Setting follow to False will turn
              off this behavior.

              If  a  config  option currently appears multiple times (such as dhcp-host, which is
              specified at least once per host), the new option will be added to the end  of  the
              main  config  file  (and  not  to  any  includes). If you need an option added to a
              specific include file, specify it as the config_file.

              Parametersconfig_file (string) -- config file where settings  should  be  updated  /
                       added.

                     • follow  (bool)  -- attempt to set the config option inside any file within
                       the conf-dir where it has already been enabled.

                     • kwargs -- key value pairs that contain the configuration settings that you
                       want set.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' dnsmasq.set_config domain=mydomain.com
                 salt '*' dnsmasq.set_config follow=False domain=mydomain.com
                 salt '*' dnsmasq.set_config config_file=/etc/dnsmasq.conf domain=mydomain.com

       salt.modules.dnsmasq.version()
              Shows installed version of dnsmasq.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' dnsmasq.version

   salt.modules.dnsutil
       Compendium of generic DNS utilities.

       NOTE:
          Some functions in the dnsutil execution module depend on dig.

       salt.modules.dnsutil.A(host, nameserver=None)
              Return the A record(s) for host.

              Always returns a list.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.A www.google.com

       salt.modules.dnsutil.AAAA(host, nameserver=None)
              Return the AAAA record(s) for host.

              Always returns a list.

              New in version 2014.7.5.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.AAAA www.google.com

       salt.modules.dnsutil.MX(domain, resolve=False, nameserver=None)
              Return a list of lists for the MX of domain.

              If the 'resolve' argument is True, resolve IPs for the servers.

              It's  limited  to  one  IP,  because  although in practice it's very rarely a round
              robin, it is an acceptable configuration and pulling just one IP lets the  data  be
              similar to the non-resolved version. If you think an MX has multiple IPs, don't use
              the resolver here, resolve them in a separate step.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.MX google.com

       salt.modules.dnsutil.NS(domain, resolve=True, nameserver=None)
              Return a list of IPs of the nameservers for domain

              If 'resolve' is False, don't resolve names.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.NS google.com

       salt.modules.dnsutil.SPF(domain, record='SPF', nameserver=None)
              Return the allowed IPv4 ranges in the SPF record for domain.

              If record is SPF and the SPF record is empty,  the  TXT  record  will  be  searched
              automatically.  If  you  know the domain uses TXT and not SPF, specifying that will
              save a lookup.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.SPF google.com

       salt.modules.dnsutil.check_ip(ip_addr)
              Check that string ip_addr is a valid IP

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.check_ip 127.0.0.1

       salt.modules.dnsutil.hosts_append(hostsfile='/etc/hosts', ip_addr=None, entries=None)
              Append a single line to the /etc/hosts file.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' dnsutil.hosts_append /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 ad1.yuk.co,ad2.yuk.co

       salt.modules.dnsutil.hosts_remove(hostsfile='/etc/hosts', entries=None)
              Remove a host from the /etc/hosts file. If doing so will leave  a  line  containing
              only  an  IP  address,  then  the  line  will  be deleted. This function will leave
              comments and blank lines intact.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' dnsutil.hosts_remove /etc/hosts ad1.yuk.co
                 salt '*' dnsutil.hosts_remove /etc/hosts ad2.yuk.co,ad1.yuk.co

       salt.modules.dnsutil.parse_hosts(hostsfile='/etc/hosts', hosts=None)
              Parse /etc/hosts file.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' dnsutil.parse_hosts

       salt.modules.dnsutil.parse_zone(zonefile=None, zone=None)
              Parses a zone file. Can be passed raw zone data on the API level.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.parse_zone /var/lib/named/example.com.zone

       salt.modules.dnsutil.serial(zone='', update=False)
              Return, store and update a dns serial for your zone files.

              zone: a keyword for a specific zone

              update: store an updated version of the serial in a grain

              If update is False, the function will retrieve an existing  serial  or  return  the
              current date if no serial is stored. Nothing will be stored

              If  update  is  True,  the function will set the serial to the current date if none
              exist or if the existing serial is for a previous date. If  a  serial  for  greater
              than the current date is already stored, the function will increment it.

              This  module  stores the serial in a grain, you can explicitly set the stored value
              as a grain named dnsserial_<zone_name>.

              CLI Example:

                 salt ns1 dnsutil.serial example.com

   salt.modules.dockercompose
       Module to import docker-compose via saltstack

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       depends
              docker-compose>=1.5

       platform
              all

   Introduction
       This module allows one to deal with docker-compose file in a directory.

       This is  a first version only, the following commands are missing at the moment  but  will
       be built later on if the community is interested in this module:

       • run

       • logs

       • port

       • scale

   Installation Prerequisites
       This  execution  module requires at least version 1.4.0 of both docker-compose and Docker.
       docker-compose can easily be installed using pip.install:

          salt myminion pip.install docker-compose>=1.5.0

   How to use this module?
       In order to use the module if you have no docker-compose file on the server you can  issue
       the  command  create, it takes two arguments the path where the docker-compose.yml will be
       stored and the content of this latter:

          # salt-call -l debug dockercompose.create /tmp/toto '
          database:
          image: mongo:3.0
          command: mongod --smallfiles --quiet --logpath=/dev/null
          '

       Then you can execute a list of method defined at the bottom with  at  least  one  argument
       (the  path  where  the  docker-compose.yml will be read) and an optional python list which
       corresponds to the services names:

          # salt-call -l debug dockercompose.up /tmp/toto
          # salt-call -l debug dockercompose.restart /tmp/toto '[database]'
          # salt-call -l debug dockercompose.stop /tmp/toto
          # salt-call -l debug dockercompose.rm /tmp/toto

   Docker-compose method supported
       • up

       • restart

       • stop

       • start

   salt.modules.dockermod
       Management of Docker Containers

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       Changed in version 2017.7.0: This module has replaced the legacy docker execution module.

       depends
              docker Python module

       NOTE:
          Older  releases  of  the  Python bindings for Docker were called docker-py in PyPI. All
          releases of docker, and releases of docker-py >=  1.6.0  are  supported.  These  python
          bindings can easily be installed using pip.install:

              salt myminion pip.install docker

          To  upgrade  from  docker-py  to  docker,  you must first uninstall docker-py, and then
          install docker:

              salt myminion pip.uninstall docker-py
              salt myminion pip.install docker

   Authentication
       If you have previously performed a docker login from  the  minion,  then  the  credentials
       saved  in ~/.docker/config.json will be used for any actions which require authentication.
       If not, then credentials can be configured in any of the following locations:

       • Minion config file

       • Grains

       • Pillar data

       • Master config file (requires pillar_opts to be set to True  in  Minion  config  file  in
         order to work)

       IMPORTANT:
          Versions  prior  to 3000 require that Docker credentials are configured in Pillar data.
          Be advised that Pillar data  is  still  recommended  though,  because  this  keeps  the
          configuration from being stored on the Minion.

          Also,  keep  in  mind  that if one gets your ~/.docker/config.json, the password can be
          decoded from its contents.

       The configuration schema is as follows:

          docker-registries:
            <registry_url>:
              username: <username>
              password: <password>

       For example:

          docker-registries:
            hub:
              username: foo
              password: s3cr3t

       NOTE:
          As of the 2016.3.7, 2016.11.4, and 2017.7.0  releases  of  Salt,  credentials  for  the
          Docker  Hub can be configured simply by specifying hub in place of the registry URL. In
          earlier releases, it is necessary to specify the actual registry URL for the Docker Hub
          (i.e.  https://index.docker.io/v1/).

       More  than  one  registry  can be configured. Salt will look for Docker credentials in the
       docker-registries Pillar key, as  well  as  any  key  ending  in  -docker-registries.  For
       example:

          docker-registries:
            'https://mydomain.tld/registry:5000':
              username: foo
              password: s3cr3t

          foo-docker-registries:
            https://index.foo.io/v1/:
              username: foo
              password: s3cr3t

          bar-docker-registries:
            https://index.bar.io/v1/:
              username: foo
              password: s3cr3t

       To  login  to the configured registries, use the docker.login function. This only needs to
       be done  once  for  a  given  registry,  and  it  will  store/update  the  credentials  in
       ~/.docker/config.json.

       NOTE:
          For  Salt  releases  before  2016.3.7  and  2016.11.4,  docker.login  is not available.
          Instead, Salt will try to authenticate using each of  your  configured  registries  for
          each push/pull, behavior which is not correct and has been resolved in newer releases.

   Configuration Options
       The following configuration options can be set to fine-tune how Salt uses Docker:

       • docker.url: URL to the docker service (default: local socket).

       • docker.version:  API  version  to  use  (should  not need to be set manually in the vast
         majority of cases)

       • docker.exec_driver: Execution driver to use, one of nsenter, lxc-attach, or docker-exec.
         See  the  Executing  Commands Within a Running Container section for more details on how
         this config parameter is used.

       These configuration options are retrieved using config.get (click  the  link  for  further
       information).

   Executing Commands Within a Running Container
       NOTE:
          With  the release of Docker 1.13.1, the Execution Driver has been removed.  Starting in
          versions 2016.3.6, 2016.11.4, and 2017.7.0, Salt defaults to using docker exec  to  run
          commands in containers, however for older Salt releases it will be necessary to set the
          docker.exec_driver config option to either docker-exec or nsenter for  Docker  versions
          1.13.1 and newer.

       Multiple methods exist for executing commands within Docker containers:

       • lxc-attach: Default for older versions of docker

       • nsenter: Enters container namespace to run command

       • docker-exec: Native support for executing commands in Docker containers (added in Docker
         1.3)

       Adding a configuration option (see config.get) called docker.exec_driver  will  tell  Salt
       which execution driver to use:

          docker.exec_driver: docker-exec

       If this configuration option is not found, Salt will use the appropriate interface (either
       nsenter or lxc-attach) based on the Execution Driver  value  returned  from  docker  info.
       docker-exec  will  not  be  used by default, as it is presently (as of version 1.6.2) only
       able to execute commands as the effective user of the container. Thus, if a USER directive
       was  used  to  run  as  a  non-privileged user, docker-exec would be unable to perform the
       action as root. Salt can still use  docker-exec  as  an  execution  driver,  but  must  be
       explicitly configured (as in the example above) to do so at this time.

       If  possible,  try to manually specify the execution driver, as it will save Salt a little
       work.

       This execution module provides functions that shadow those from the cmd module.  They  are
       as follows:

       • docker.retcodedocker.rundocker.run_alldocker.run_stderrdocker.run_stdoutdocker.scriptdocker.script_retcode

       salt.modules.dockermod.apply_(name, mods=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2019.2.0.

              Apply states! This function will call highstate or state.sls based on the arguments
              passed in, apply is intended to be the main gateway for all state executions.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'docker' docker.apply web01
                 salt 'docker' docker.apply web01 test
                 salt 'docker' docker.apply web01 test,pkgs

       api_response=False, fileobj=None, dockerfile=None, buildargs=None)
              Changed  in  version  2018.3.0:  If  the  built  image  should  be tagged, then the
              repository and tag must now be passed  separately  using  the  repository  and  tag
              arguments, rather than together in the (now deprecated) image argument.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              image  Deprecated since version 2018.3.0: Use both repository and tag instead

              cache  True  Set  to  False  to force the build process not to use the Docker image
                     cache, and pull all required intermediate image layers

              rm     True Remove intermediate containers created during build

              api_response
                     False If True: an API_Response key will  be  present  in  the  return  data,
                     containing the raw output from the Docker API.

              fileobj
                     Allows  for  a file-like object containing the contents of the Dockerfile to
                     be passed in place of a file path argument. This argument should not be used
                     from the CLI, only from other Salt code.

              dockerfile
                     Allows  for  an  alternative Dockerfile to be specified. Path to alternative
                     Dockefile is relative to the build path for the Docker container.

                     New in version 2016.11.0.

              buildargs

                not present on the Minion, or if cache=False)Status - A string containing a summary of the  pull  action  (usually  a  message
                saying that an image was downloaded, or that it was up to date).

                (Only  present if the image specified by the "repository" and "tag" arguments was
                not present on the Minion, or if cache=False)

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.dockermod.call(name, function, *args, **kwargs)
              Executes a Salt function inside a running container

              New in version 2016.11.0.

              The container does not need to have Salt installed, but Python is required.

              name   Container name or ID

       salt.modules.dockermod.commit(name, repository, tag='latest', message=None, author=None)
              Changed in version 2018.3.0: The repository and tag must now be  passed  separately
              using  the  repository  and  tag  arguments,  rather  than  together  in  the  (now
              deprecated) image argument.

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary containing the following keys:

              • Id - ID of the newly-created image

              • Image - Name of the newly-created image

              • Time_Elapsed - Time in seconds taken to perform the commit

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.dockermod.compare_container(first, second, ignore=None)
              This function is an alias of compare_containers.
                 New in version 2017.7.0.

                 Changed   in   version   2018.3.0:   Renamed  from  docker.compare_container  to
                 docker.compare_containers (old function name remains as an alias)

                 Compare two containers' Config and and HostConfig  and  return  any  differences
                 between the two.

                 first  Name or ID of first container

                 second Name or ID of second container

                 ignore A comma-separated list (or Python list) of keys to ignore when comparing.
                        This is useful when comparing two otherwise  identical  containers  which
                        have different hostnames.

                 CLI Examples:

                     salt myminion docker.compare_containers foo bar
                     salt myminion docker.compare_containers foo bar ignore=Hostname

       salt.modules.dockermod.compare_container_networks(first, second)
              New in version 2018.3.0.

              Returns  the  differences  between two containers' networks. When a network is only
              present one of the two containers, that network's diff will simply  be  represented
              with  True  for the side of the diff in which the network is present) and False for
              the side of the diff in which the network is absent.

              This function works by comparing the contents of  both  containers'  Networks  keys
              (under  NetworkSettings)  in the return data from docker.inspect_container. Because
              each network contains some items that either A) only set at runtime,  B)  naturally
              varying from container to container, or both, by default the following keys in each
              network are examined:

              • AliasesLinksIPAMConfig

              The exception to this is if IPAMConfig is unset (i.e. null) in  one  container  but
              not  the  other. This happens when no static IP configuration is set, and automatic
              IP configuration is in effect. So, in order to report on changes between  automatic
              IP  configuration in one container and static IP configuration in another container
              (as  we  need  to  do  for  the  docker_container.running  state),   automatic   IP
              configuration will also be checked in these cases.

              This  function  uses  the docker.compare_container_networks minion config option to
              determine which keys to examine.  This  provides  flexibility  in  the  event  that
              features  added in a future Docker release necessitate changes to how Salt compares
              networks. In these cases, rather than waiting for a new Salt release one  can  just
              set docker.compare_container_networks.

              Changed  in version 3000: This config option can now also be set in pillar data and
              grains.  Additionally, it can be set in  the  master  config  file,  provided  that
              pillar_opts is enabled on the minion.

              NOTE:
                 The  checks  for  automatic  IP  configuration  described  above  only  apply if
                 IPAMConfig   is   among   the   keys   set   for    static    IP    checks    in
                 docker.compare_container_networks.

              New in version 2017.7.0.

              Changed   in   version   2018.3.0:   Renamed   from   docker.compare_container   to
              docker.compare_containers (old function name remains as an alias)

              Compare two containers' Config  and  and  HostConfig  and  return  any  differences
              between the two.

              first  Name or ID of first container

              second Name or ID of second container

              ignore A  comma-separated  list  (or Python list) of keys to ignore when comparing.
                     This is useful when comparing two otherwise identical containers which  have
                     different hostnames.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion docker.compare_containers foo bar
                 salt myminion docker.compare_containers foo bar ignore=Hostname

       salt.modules.dockermod.compare_networks(first,                                     second,

       salt.modules.dockermod.connect_container_to_network(container, net_id, **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.8.3.

              Changed in version 2017.7.0: Support for ipv4_address argument added

              Changed   in   version   2018.3.0:   All   arguments  are  now  passed  through  to
              connect_container_to_network(), allowing  for  any  new  arguments  added  to  this
              function to be supported automagically.

              Connect  container  to  network.  See  the  connect_container_to_network() docs for
              information on supported arguments.

                 RETURN DATA

                 A boolean (True if successful, otherwise False)

                 CLI Example:

                     salt myminion docker.copy_from mycontainer /var/log/nginx/access.log /home/myuser

       salt.modules.dockermod.create(image,    name=None,    start=False,    skip_translate=None,
       ignore_collisions=False, validate_ip_addrs=True, client_timeout=60, **kwargs)
              Create a new container

              image  Image from which to create the container

              name   Name for the new container. If not provided, Docker will  randomly  generate
                     one for you (it will be included in the return data).

              start  False If True, start container after creating it

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              skip_translate
                     This  function  translates  Salt  CLI  or  SLS  input  into the format which
                     docker-py expects. However, in the event that Salt's translation logic fails
                     (due  to  potential  changes  in  the  Docker  Remote API, or to bugs in the
                     translation code), this argument can be used to exert granular control  over
                     which arguments are translated and which are not.

                     Pass  this argument as a comma-separated list (or Python list) of arguments,
                     and  translation  for  each  passed   argument   name   will   be   skipped.
                     Alternatively, pass True and all translation will be skipped.

                     Skipping  tranlsation  allows  for arguments to be formatted directly in the
                     format which docker-py expects. This allows for API changes and other issues
                     to  be  more  easily  worked around. An example of using this option to skip
                     translation would be:

                        salt myminion docker.create image=centos:7.3.1611 skip_translate=environment environment="{'FOO': 'bar'}"

                     See the following links for more information:

                     • docker-py Low-level APIDocker Engine API

              ignore_collisions
                     False Since many of docker-py's arguments differ  in  name  from  their  CLI
                     counterparts  (with which most Docker users are more familiar), Salt detects
                     usage of these and aliases them to the docker-py version of  that  argument.
                     However,  if  both  the alias and the docker-py version of the same argument
                     (e.g. env and environment) are used, an  error  will  be  raised.  Set  this
                     argument  to True to suppress these errors and keep the docker-py version of
                     the argument.

              validate_ip_addrs
                     True  For  parameters  which  accept  IP  addresses  as  input,  IP  address
                     validation will be performed. To disable, set this to False

              client_timeout
                     60  Timeout in seconds for the Docker client. This is not a timeout for this
                     function, but for receiving a response from the API.

                     NOTE:
                        This is only used if Salt needs to pull the requested image.

              CONTAINER CONFIGURATION ARGUMENTS

              auto_remove (or rm)
                     False  Enable  auto-removal  of  the  container  on  daemon  side  when  the
                     container’s process exits (analogous to running a docker container with --rm
                     on the CLI).

                     Examples:

                     • auto_remove=Truerm=True

              binds  Files/directories to bind mount. Each bind mount should be passed in one  of
                     the following formats:

                     • <host_path>:<container_path>  -  host_path is mounted within the container
                       as container_path with read-write access.

                     • <host_path>:<container_path>:<selinux_context>  -  host_path  is   mounted
                       within   the   container   as   container_path   with  read-write  access.
                       Additionally, the  specified  selinux  context  will  be  set  within  the
                       container.

                     • <host_path>:<container_path>:<read_only> - host_path is mounted within the
                       container as container_path, with  the  read-only  or  read-write  setting
                       explicitly defined.

                     • <host_path>:<container_path>:<read_only>,<selinux_context>  - host_path is
                       mounted within the container as  container_path,  with  the  read-only  or
                       read-write   setting  explicitly  defined.   Additionally,  the  specified
                       selinux context will be set within the container.

                     <read_only> can be either ro for read-write  access,  or  ro  for  read-only
                     access. When omitted, it is assumed to be read-write.

                     <selinux_context>  can  be  z  if  the  volume  is  shared  between multiple
                     containers, or Z if the volume should be private.

                     NOTE:
                        When both <read_only> and <selinux_context> are specified, there must  be
                        a comma before <selinux_context>.

                     Binds  can  be expressed as a comma-separated list or a Python list, however
                     in cases where both ro/rw and an selinux context are  specified,  the  binds
                     must be specified as a Python list.

                     Examples:

                     • binds=/srv/www:/var/www:robinds=/srv/www:/var/www:rwbinds=/srv/www:/var/wwwbinds="['/srv/www:/var/www:ro,Z']"binds="['/srv/www:/var/www:rw,Z']"binds=/srv/www:/var/www:Z

                     NOTE:
                        The  second and third examples above are equivalent to each other, as are
                        the last two examples.

              blkio_weight
                     Block IO weight (relative weight), accepts a weight  value  between  10  and

                     • device_write_bps="/dev/sda:100mb,/dev/sdb:50mb"device_write_bps="['/dev/sda:100mb', '/dev/sdb:50mb']"

              device_write_iops
                     Limit write rate (I/O per second) from a device,  specified  as  a  list  of
                     expressions  in  the  format  PATH:RATE,  where  RATE  is  a  number  of I/O
                     operations.

                     Examples:

                     • device_write_iops="/dev/sda:1000,/dev/sdb:500"device_write_iops="['/dev/sda:1000', '/dev/sdb:500']"

              dns    List of DNS nameservers. Can be passed as a comma-separated list or a Python
                     list.

                     Examples:

                     • dns=8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4dns="['8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4']"

                     NOTE:
                        To skip IP address validation, use validate_ip_addrs=False

              dns_opt
                     Additional options to be added to the container’s resolv.conf file

                     Example: dns_opt=ndots:9

              dns_search
                     List  of  DNS  search  domains. Can be passed as a comma-separated list or a
                     Python list.

                     Examples:

                     • dns_search=foo1.domain.tld,foo2.domain.tlddns_search="[foo1.domain.tld, foo2.domain.tld]"

              domainname
                     The domain name to use for the container

                     Example: domainname=domain.tld

              entrypoint
                     Entrypoint for the container. Either a string (e.g. "mycmd  --arg1  --arg2")
                     or a Python list (e.g.  "['mycmd', '--arg1', '--arg2']")

                     Examples:

                     • entrypoint="cat access.log"entrypoint="['cat', 'access.log']"

              environment (or env)
                     Either  a  dictionary  of  environment variable names and their values, or a
                     Python list of strings in the format VARNAME=value.

                     Examples:

                     • environment='VAR1=value,VAR2=value'environment="['VAR1=value', 'VAR2=value']"environment="{'VAR1': 'value', 'VAR2': 'value'}"

              extra_hosts
                     Additional hosts to add to the container's /etc/hosts file. Can be passed as
                     a comma-separated list or a Python list. Requires Docker 1.3.0 or newer.

                     Examples:

                     • extra_hosts=web1:10.9.8.7,web2:10.9.8.8extra_hosts="['web1:10.9.8.7', 'web2:10.9.8.8']"extra_hosts="{'web1': '10.9.8.7', 'web2': '10.9.8.8'}"

                     NOTE:
                        To skip IP address validation, use validate_ip_addrs=False

              group_add
                     List  of  additional  group names and/or IDs that the container process will
                     run as

                     Examples:

                     • group_add=web,networkgroup_add="['web', 'network']"

              hostname
                     Hostname of the container. If not provided, and if a name has been provided,
                     the hostname will default to the name that was passed.

                     Example: hostname=web1

                     WARNING:
                        If  the container is started with network_mode=host, the hostname will be
                        overridden by the hostname of the Minion.

              interactive (or stdin_open): False
                     Leave stdin open, even if not attached

                     Examples:

                     • interactive=Truestdin_open=True

              ipc_mode (or ipc)
                     Set the IPC mode for the container. The default  behavior  is  to  create  a
                     private  IPC  namespace  for  the  container, but this option can be used to
                     change that behavior:

                     • container:<container_name_or_id> reuses another container  shared  memory,
                       semaphores and message queues

                     • host: use the host's shared memory, semaphores and message queues

                     Examples:

                     • ipc_mode=container:fooipc=host

                     WARNING:
                        Using  host gives the container full access to local shared memory and is
                        therefore considered insecure.

              isolation
                     Specifies the type of isolation technology used by containers

                     Example: isolation=hyperv

                     NOTE:
                        The default value on Windows server is process, while the  default  value
                        on Windows client is hyperv. On Linux, only default is supported.

              labels (or label)
                     Add  metadata  to  the  container.  Labels  can be set both with and without
                     values:

                     Examples:

                     • labels=foo,bar=bazlabels="['foo', 'bar=baz']"

                     Changed in version 2018.3.0: Labels both with and without values can now  be
                     mixed. Earlier releases only permitted one method or the other.

              links  Link  this  container  to  another.  Links should be specified in the format
                     <container_name_or_id>:<link_alias>. Multiple links can be passed, ether  as
                     a comma separated list or a Python list.

                     Examples:

                     • links=web1:link1,web2:link2,

                     • links="['web1:link1', 'web2:link2']"links="{'web1': 'link1', 'web2': 'link2'}"

              log_driver
                     Set container's logging driver. Requires Docker 1.6 or newer.

                     Example:

                     • log_driver=syslog

                     NOTE:
                        The logging driver feature was improved in Docker 1.13 introducing option
                        name changes. Please see Docker's Configure logging drivers documentation
                        for more information.

              log_opt
                     Config  options  for  the  log_driver  config option. Requires Docker 1.6 or
                     newer.

                     Example:

                     • log_opt="syslog-address=tcp://192.168.0.42,syslog-facility=daemon"log_opt="['syslog-address=tcp://192.168.0.42', 'syslog-facility=daemon']"log_opt="{'syslog-address':    'tcp://192.168.0.42',    'syslog-facility':
                       'daemon'}"

              lxc_conf
                     Additional   LXC   configuration  parameters  to  set  before  starting  the
                     container.

                     Examples:

                     • lxc_conf="lxc.utsname=docker,lxc.arch=x86_64"lxc_conf="['lxc.utsname=docker', 'lxc.arch=x86_64']"lxc_conf="{'lxc.utsname': 'docker', 'lxc.arch': 'x86_64'}"

                     NOTE:
                        These LXC configuration parameters will only have the desired  effect  if
                        the  container  is  using  the  LXC  execution  driver,  which  has  been
                        deprecated for some time.

              mac_address
                     MAC address to use for the container. If not specified, a random MAC address
                     will be used.

                     Example: mac_address=01:23:45:67:89:0a

              mem_limit (or memory)
                     0 Memory limit. Can be specified in bytes or using single-letter units (i.e.
                     512M, 2G, etc.). A value of 0 (the default) means no memory limit.

                     Examples:

                     • mem_limit=512Mmemory=1073741824

              mem_swappiness
                     Tune a container's memory swappiness behavior. Accepts an integer between  0
                     and 100.

                     Example: mem_swappiness=60

              memswap_limit (or memory_swap)
                     -1 Total memory limit (memory plus swap). Set to -1 to disable swap. A value
                     of 0 means no swap limit.

                     Examples:

                     • memswap_limit=1Gmemory_swap=2147483648

              network_disabled
                     False If True, networking will be disabled within the container

                     Example: network_disabled=True

              network_mode
                     bridge One of the following:

                     • bridge - Creates a new network stack  for  the  container  on  the  docker
                       bridge

                     • none  -  No networking (equivalent of the Docker CLI argument --net=none).
                       Not to be confused with Python's None.

                     • container:<name_or_id> - Reuses another container's network stack

                     • host - Use the host's network stack inside the container

                       WARNING:
                          Using host mode gives the container full access to the  hosts  system's
                          services (such as D-Bus), and is therefore considered insecure.

                     Examples:

                     • network_mode=nullnetwork_mode=container:web1

              oom_kill_disable
                     Whether to disable OOM killer

                     Example: oom_kill_disable=False

              oom_score_adj
                     An  integer  value  containing  the score given to the container in order to
                     tune OOM killer preferences

                     Example: oom_score_adj=500

              pid_mode
                     Set to host to use the host container's PID namespace within the  container.
                     Requires Docker 1.5.0 or newer.

                     Example: pid_mode=host

              pids_limit
                     Set the container's PID limit. Set to -1 for unlimited.

                     Example: pids_limit=2000

              port_bindings (or publish)
                     Bind   exposed  ports  which  were  exposed  using  the  ports  argument  to
                     docker.create. These should be passed in  the  same  way  as  the  --publish
                     argument to the docker run CLI command:

                     • ip:hostPort:containerPort  -  Bind a specific IP and port on the host to a
                       specific port within the container.

                     • ip::containerPort - Bind a specific IP and an ephemeral port to a specific
                       port within the container.

                     • hostPort:containerPort  -  Bind  a  specific  port  on  all  of the host's
                       interfaces to a specific port within the container.

                     • containerPort - Bind an ephemeral port on all of the host's interfaces  to
                       a specific port within the container.

                     Multiple  bindings  can  be separated by commas, or passed as a Python list.
                     The below two examples are equivalent:

                     • port_bindings="5000:5000,2123:2123/udp,8080"port_bindings="['5000:5000', '2123:2123/udp', 8080]"

                     Port bindings can also include ranges:

                     • port_bindings="14505-14506:4505-4506"

                     NOTE:
                        When specifying a protocol, it must be passed in the containerPort value,
                        as seen in the examples above.

              ports  A list of ports to expose on the container. Can be passed as comma-separated
                     list or a Python list. If the protocol is omitted, the port will be  assumed
                     to be a TCP port.

                     Examples:

                     • ports=1111,2222/udpports="[1111, '2222/udp']"

              privileged
                     False If True, runs the exec process with extended privileges

                     Example: privileged=True

              publish_all_ports (or publish_all): False
                     Publish all ports to the host

                     Example: publish_all_ports=True

              read_only
                     False If True, mount the container’s root filesystem as read only

                     Example: read_only=True

              restart_policy (or restart)
                     Set  a  restart  policy for the container. Must be passed as a string in the
                     format policy[:retry_count] where policy is one of  always,  unless-stopped,
                     or  on-failure,  and  retry_count  is  an  optional  limit  to the number of
                     retries. The retry count is ignored when using the always or  unless-stopped
                     restart policy.

                     Examples:

                     • restart_policy=on-failure:5restart_policy=always

              security_opt
                     Security configuration for MLS systems such as SELinux and AppArmor.  Can be
                     passed as a comma-separated list or a Python list.

                     Examples:

                     • security_opt=apparmor:unconfined,param2:value2security_opt='["apparmor:unconfined", "param2:value2"]'

                     IMPORTANT:
                        Some security options can contain commas. In these cases,  this  argument
                        must  be passed as a Python list, as splitting by comma will result in an
                        invalid configuration.

                     NOTE:
                        See       the       documentation       for        security_opt        at
                        https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#security-configuration

              shm_size
                     Size of /dev/shm

                     Example: shm_size=128M

              stop_signal
                     The signal used to stop the container. The default is SIGTERM.

                     Example: stop_signal=SIGRTMIN+3

              stop_timeout
                     Timeout to stop the container, in seconds

                     Example: stop_timeout=5

              storage_opt
                     Storage driver options for the container

                     Examples:

                     • storage_opt='dm.basesize=40G'storage_opt="['dm.basesize=40G']"storage_opt="{'dm.basesize': '40G'}"

              sysctls (or sysctl)
                     Set sysctl options for the container

                     Examples:

                     • sysctl='fs.nr_open=1048576,kernel.pid_max=32768'sysctls="['fs.nr_open=1048576', 'kernel.pid_max=32768']"sysctls="{'fs.nr_open': '1048576', 'kernel.pid_max': '32768'}"

              tmpfs  A map of container directories which should be replaced by tmpfs mounts, and
                     their  corresponding  mount  options.  Can  be  passed  as  Python  list  of
                     PATH:VALUE  mappings,  or a Python dictionary. However, since commas usually
                     appear in the values, this option cannot  be  passed  as  a  comma-separated
                     list.

                     Examples:

                     • tmpfs="['/run:rw,noexec,nosuid,size=65536k',
                       '/var/lib/mysql:rw,noexec,nosuid,size=600m']"tmpfs="{'/run':     'rw,noexec,nosuid,size=65536k',      '/var/lib/mysql':
                       'rw,noexec,nosuid,size=600m'}"

              tty    False Attach TTYs

                     Example: tty=True

              ulimits (or ulimit)
                     List   of   ulimits.   These   limits   should   be  passed  in  the  format
                     <ulimit_name>:<soft_limit>:<hard_limit>, with the hard limit being optional.
                     Can be passed as a comma-separated list or a Python list.

                     Examples:

                     • ulimits="nofile=1024:1024,nproc=60"ulimits="['nofile=1024:1024', 'nproc=60']"

              user   User under which to run exec process

                     Example: user=foo

              userns_mode (or user_ns_mode)
                     Sets  the  user  namsepace mode, when the user namespace remapping option is
                     enabled.

                     Example: userns_mode=host

              volumes (or volume)
                     List of directories to expose as volumes. Can be passed as a comma-separated
                     list or a Python list.

                     Examples:

                     • volumes=/mnt/vol1,/mnt/vol2volume="['/mnt/vol1', '/mnt/vol2']"

              volumes_from
                     Container  names  or  IDs  from which the container will get volumes. Can be
                     passed as a comma-separated list or a Python list.

                     Example: volumes_from=foo, volumes_from=foo,bar, volumes_from="[foo, bar]"

              volume_driver
                     Sets the container's volume driver

                     Example: volume_driver=foobar

              working_dir (or workdir)
                     Working directory inside the container

                     Examples:

                     • working_dir=/var/log/nginxworkdir=/var/www/myapp

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary containing the following keys:

              • Id - ID of the newly-created container

              • Name - Name of the newly-created container

              CLI Example:

                 # Create a data-only container
                 salt myminion docker.create myuser/mycontainer volumes="/mnt/vol1,/mnt/vol2"
                 # Create a CentOS 7 container that will stay running once started
                 salt myminion docker.create centos:7 name=mycent7 interactive=True tty=True command=bash

       salt.modules.dockermod.create_network(name, skip_translate=None,  ignore_collisions=False,
       validate_ip_addrs=True, client_timeout=60, **kwargs)
              Changed  in version 2018.3.0: Support added for network configuration options other
              than driver and driver_opts, as well as IPAM configuration.

              Create a new network

              NOTE:
                 This function supports all arguments for network  and  IPAM  pool  configuration
                 which  are  available  for the release of docker-py installed on the minion. For
                 that  reason,  the  arguments  described  below  in  the  NETWORK  CONFIGURATION
                 ARGUMENTS  and  IP ADDRESS MANAGEMENT (IPAM) sections may not accurately reflect
                 what is available on the minion.  The  docker.get_client_args  function  can  be
                 used  to  check  the  available arguments for the installed version of docker-py
                 (they are found in the network_config and ipam_config  sections  of  the  return
                 data), but Salt will not prevent a user from attempting to use an argument which
                 is unsupported in the release of Docker which  is  installed.  In  those  cases,
                 network creation be attempted but will fail.

              name   Network name

              skip_translate
                     This  function  translates  Salt  CLI  or  SLS  input  into the format which
                     docker-py expects. However, in the event that Salt's translation logic fails
                     (due  to  potential  changes  in  the  Docker  Remote API, or to bugs in the
                     translation code), this argument can be used to exert granular control  over
                     which arguments are translated and which are not.

                     Pass  this argument as a comma-separated list (or Python list) of arguments,
                     and  translation  for  each  passed   argument   name   will   be   skipped.
                     Alternatively, pass True and all translation will be skipped.

                     Skipping  tranlsation  allows  for arguments to be formatted directly in the
                     format which docker-py expects. This allows for API changes and other issues
                     to  be  more  easily  worked  around.  See  the  following  links  for  more
                     information:

                     • docker-py Low-level APIDocker Engine API

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              ignore_collisions
                     False Since many of docker-py's arguments differ  in  name  from  their  CLI
                     counterparts  (with which most Docker users are more familiar), Salt detects
                     usage of these and aliases them to the docker-py version of  that  argument.
                     However,  if  both  the alias and the docker-py version of the same argument
                     (e.g. options and driver_opts) are used, an error will be raised.  Set  this
                     argument  to True to suppress these errors and keep the docker-py version of
                     the argument.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              validate_ip_addrs
                     True  For  parameters  which  accept  IP  addresses  as  input,  IP  address
                     validation will be performed. To disable, set this to False

                     NOTE:
                        When validating subnets, whether or not the IP portion of the subnet is a
                        valid subnet boundary will not be checked. The IP will  portion  will  be
                        validated,  and  the subnet size will be checked to confirm it is a valid
                        number (1-32 for IPv4, 1-128 for IPv6).

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              NETWORK CONFIGURATION ARGUMENTS

              driver Network driver

                     Example: driver=macvlan

              driver_opts (or driver_opt, or options)
                     Options for the network driver. Either a  dictionary  of  option  names  and
                     values or a Python list of strings in the format varname=value.

                     Examples:

                     • driver_opts='macvlan_mode=bridge,parent=eth0'driver_opts="['macvlan_mode=bridge', 'parent=eth0']"driver_opts="{'macvlan_mode': 'bridge', 'parent': 'eth0'}"

              check_duplicate
                     True  If  True, checks for networks with duplicate names. Since networks are
                     primarily keyed based on a random ID and not on the name, and  network  name
                     is  strictly  a  user-friendly  alias  to  the  network  which  is  uniquely
                     identified using ID, there is no guaranteed way  to  check  for  duplicates.
                     This  option  providess  a best effort, checking for any networks which have
                     the same name, but it is not guaranteed to catch all name collisions.

                     Example: check_duplicate=False

              internal
                     False If True, restricts external access to the network

                     Example: internal=True

              labels Add metadata to the network. Labels can be set both with and without values:

                     Examples (with values):

                     • labels="label1=value1,label2=value2"labels="['label1=value1', 'label2=value2']"labels="{'label1': 'value1', 'label2': 'value2'}"

                     Examples (without values):

                     • labels=label1,label2labels="['label1', 'label2']"

              enable_ipv6 (or ipv6)
                     False Enable IPv6 on the network

                     Example: enable_ipv6=True

                     NOTE:
                        While it should go without saying, this argument must be set to  True  to
                        configure  an  IPv6  subnet. Also, if this option is turned on without an
                        IPv6 subnet explicitly configured, you will get an error unless you  have
                        set  up a fixed IPv6 subnet. Consult the Docker IPv6 docs for information
                        on how to do this.

              attachable
                     False If  True,  and  the  network  is  in  the  global  scope,  non-service
                     containers on worker nodes will be able to connect to the network.

                     Example: attachable=True

                     NOTE:
                        While  support  for  this option was added in API version 1.24, its value
                        was not added to the inpsect results until API version 1.26.  The version
                        of  Docker which is available for CentOS 7 runs API version 1.24, meaning
                        that while Salt can pass this argument to the  API,  it  has  no  way  of
                        knowing the value of this config option in an existing Docker network.

              scope  Specify the network's scope (local, global or swarm)

                     Example: scope=local

              ingress
                     False  If True, create an ingress network which provides the routing-mesh in
                     swarm mode

                     Example: ingress=True

              IP ADDRESS MANAGEMENT (IPAM)

              This function supports networks with  either  IPv4,  or  both  IPv4  and  IPv6.  If
              configuring  IPv4,  then  you  can  pass  the  IPAM  arguments  as  shown below, as
              individual arguments on the Salt CLI. However, if configuring IPv4  and  IPv6,  the
              arguments must be passed as a list of dictionaries, in the ipam_pools argument. See
              the CLI Examples below. These docs also have more information on these arguments.

              IPAM ARGUMENTS

              ipam_driver
                     IPAM driver to use, if different from the default one

                     Example: ipam_driver=foo

              ipam_opts
                     Options for the IPAM driver. Either a dictionary of option names and  values
                     or a Python list of strings in the format varname=value.

                     Examples:

                     • ipam_opts='foo=bar,baz=qux'ipam_opts="['foo=bar', 'baz=quz']"ipam_opts="{'foo': 'bar', 'baz': 'qux'}"

              IPAM POOL ARGUMENTS

              subnet Subnet in CIDR format that represents a network segment

                     Example: subnet=192.168.50.0/25

              iprange (or ip_range)
                     Allocate container IP from a sub-range within the subnet

                     Subnet in CIDR format that represents a network segment

                     Example: iprange=192.168.50.64/26

              gateway
                     IPv4 gateway for the master subnet

                     Example: gateway=192.168.50.1

              aux_addresses (or aux_address)
                     A  dictionary  of  mapping  container  names to IP addresses which should be
                     allocated for them should they connect to the network. Either  a  dictionary
                     of  option  names  and  values  or  a  Python  list of strings in the format
                     host=ipaddr.

                     Examples:

                     • aux_addresses='foo.bar.tld=192.168.50.10,hello.world.tld=192.168.50.11'aux_addresses="['foo.bar.tld=192.168.50.10',
                       'hello.world.tld=192.168.50.11']"aux_addresses="{'foo.bar.tld':     '192.168.50.10',     'hello.world.tld':
                       '192.168.50.11'}"

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion docker.create_network web_network driver=bridge

       salt.modules.dockermod.dangling(prune=False, force=False)
              Return top-level images (those on which no other images depend) which do not have a
              tag assigned to them. These include:

              • Images  which  were once tagged but were later untagged, such as those which were
                superseded by committing a new copy of an existing tagged image.

              • Images which were loaded  using  docker.load  (or  the  docker  load  Docker  CLI
                command), but not tagged.

              prune  False Remove these images

              force  False If True, and if prune=True, then forcibly remove these images.

              RETURN DATA

              If prune=False, the return data will be a list of dangling image IDs.

              If  prune=True,  the return data will be a dictionary with each key being the ID of
              the dangling image, and the following information for each image:

              • Comment - Any error encountered when trying to prune a dangling image

                (Only present if prune failed)Removed - A boolean (True if prune was successful, False if not)

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.dangling
                 salt myminion docker.dangling prune=True

       salt.modules.dockermod.depends(name)
              Returns the containers and images, if any, which depend on the given image

              name   Name or ID of image

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary containing the following keys:

              • Containers - A list of containers which depend on the specified image

              • Images - A list of IDs of images which depend on the specified image

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.depends myimage
                 salt myminion docker.depends 0123456789ab

       salt.modules.dockermod.diff(name)
              Get information on changes made to container's filesystem  since  it  was  created.
              Equivalent to running the docker diff Docker CLI command.

              name   Container name or ID

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary containing any of the following keys:

              • Added - A list of paths that were added.

              • Changed - A list of paths that were changed.

              • Deleted - A list of paths that were deleted.

              These  keys  will only be present if there were changes, so if the container has no
              differences the return dict will be empty.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.diff mycontainer

       salt.modules.dockermod.disconnect_all_containers_from_network(network_id)
              New in version 2018.3.0.

              Check if a given container exists

              name   Container name or ID

              RETURN DATA

              A boolean (True if the container exists, otherwise False)

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.exists mycontainer

       salt.modules.dockermod.export(name,       path,      overwrite=False,      makedirs=False,
       compression=None, **kwargs)
              Exports a container to a tar archive. It can  also  optionally  compress  that  tar
              archive, and push it up to the Master.

              name   Container name or ID

              path   Absolute path on the Minion where the container will be exported

              overwrite
                     False  Unless  this  option  is  set  to  True, then if a file exists at the
                     location specified by the path argument, an error will be raised.

              makedirs
                     False If True, then if the parent directory of the  file  specified  by  the
                     path argument does not exist, Salt will attempt to create it.

              compression
                     None Can be set to any of the following:

                     • gzip or gz for gzip compression

                     • bzip2 or bz2 for bzip2 compression

                     • xz  or  lzma  for  XZ  compression (requires xz-utils, as well as the lzma
                       module from Python 3.3, available  in  Python  2  and  Python  3.0-3.2  as
                       backports.lzma)

                     This  parameter  can  be  omitted  and  Salt  will  attempt to determine the
                     compression type by examining the filename passed in the path parameter.

              push   False If True, the container will be pushed to the master using cp.push.

                     NOTE:
                        This requires file_recv to be set to True on the Master.

       salt.modules.dockermod.get_client_args(limit=None)
              New in version 2016.3.6,2016.11.4,2017.7.0.

              Changed  in version 2017.7.0: Replaced the container config args with the ones from
              the API's create_container function.

              Changed in version 2018.3.0: Added ability to limit the input  to  specific  client
              functions

              Many  functions in Salt have been written to support the full list of arguments for
              a given function in the docker-py Low-level API. However, depending on the  version
              of  docker-py  installed  on  the  minion, the available arguments may differ. This
              function will get the arguments for various functions in the installed  version  of
              docker-py, to be used as a reference.

              limit  An optional list of categories for which to limit the return. This is useful
                     if only a specific set  of  arguments  is  desired,  and  also  keeps  other
                     function's argspecs from needlessly being examined.

              AVAILABLE LIMITScreate_container   -   arguments   accepted   by   create_container()   (used  by
                docker.create)

              • host_config - arguments accepted by create_host_config() (used to build the  host
                config for docker.create)

              • connect_container_to_network  -  arguments used by connect_container_to_network()
                to  construct  an  endpoint  config  when  connecting  to  a  network  (used   by
                docker.connect_container_to_network)

              • create_network    -    arguments    accepted   by   create_network()   (used   by
                docker.create_network)

              • ipam_config   -   arguments   used   to   create   an   IPAM   pool   (used    by
                docker.create_network in the process of constructing an IPAM config dictionary)

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.get_client_args
                 salt myminion docker.get_client_args logs
                 salt myminion docker.get_client_args create_container,connect_container_to_network

       salt.modules.dockermod.highstate(name, saltenv='base', **kwargs)
              Apply a highstate to the running container

              New in version 2019.2.0.

              The container does not need to have Salt installed, but Python is required.

              Performs a docker login to authenticate to one or more configured repositories. See
              the documentation at the top of this page to configure authentication credentials.

              Multiple registry URLs (matching those configured in Pillar)  can  be  passed,  and
              Salt  will  attempt  to  login  to  just  those registries. If no registry URLs are
              provided, Salt will attempt to login to all configured registries.

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary containing the following keys:

              • Results - A dictionary mapping registry URLs to the authentication  result.  True
                means a successful login, False means a failed login.

              • Errors - A list of errors encountered during the course of this function.

              CLI Example:

              configured repositories.

              Multiple registry URLs (matching those configured in Pillar)  can  be  passed,  and
              Salt  will  attempt  to  logout  of  just those registries. If no registry URLs are
              provided, Salt will attempt to logout of all configured registries.

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary containing the following keys:

              • Results - A dictionary mapping registry URLs to the authentication  result.  True
                means a successful logout, False means a failed logout.

              • Errors - A list of errors encountered during the course of this function.

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.dockermod.logs(name, **kwargs)
              Changed  in  version  2018.3.0:  Support  for  all of docker-py's logs() function's
              arguments, with the exception of stream.

              Returns the logs for the container. An interface to docker-py's logs() function.

              name   Container name or ID

              since  Show  logs  since  the  specified  time,  passed  as a UNIX epoch timestamp.
                     Optionally, if timelib is installed on  the  minion  the  timestamp  can  be
                     passed   as   a   string   which   will   be   resolved   to  a  date  using
                     timelib.strtodatetime().

              follow False If True, this function will block until the container exits and return
                     the  logs when it does. The default behavior is to return what is in the log
                     at the time this function is executed.

              CLI Examples:

                 # All logs
                 salt myminion docker.logs mycontainer

       salt.modules.dockermod.networks(names=None, ids=None)
              Changed in version 2017.7.0: The names and ids can be passed as  a  comma-separated
              list now, as well as a Python list.

              Changed  in  version  2018.3.0:  The  Containers  key for each network is no longer
              always empty.

              List existing networks

              names  Filter by name

              ids    Filter by id

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.dockermod.port(name, private_port=None)
              Returns  port  mapping information for a given container. Equivalent to running the
              docker port Docker CLI command.

              name   Container name or ID

                     Changed in version 2019.2.0: This value can  now  be  a  pattern  expression
                     (using  the  pattern-matching  characters  defined in fnmatch). If a pattern
                     expression is used, this function will return a dictionary mapping container
                     names  which match the pattern to the mappings for those containers. When no
                     pattern expression is used, a dictionary of the mappings for  the  specified
                     container name will be returned.

              private_port
                     None  If specified, get information for that specific port. Can be specified
                     either as a port number (i.e. 5000), or as a port number plus  the  protocol

                     NOTE:
                        Only  supported in Docker 17.07.x and newer. Additionally, filters do not
                        apply to this argument.

              volumes
                     False If True, prunes unreferenced volumes (documentation)

              system If True, prunes containers, images, networks, and builder cache.  Assumed to
                     be True if none of containers, images, networks, or build are set to True.

                     NOTE:
                        volumes=True must still be used to prune volumes

              filtersdangling=True (images only) - remove only dangling images

                     • until=<timestamp>  -  only  remove objects created before given timestamp.
                       Not applicable to volumes. See the documentation links above for  examples
                       of valid time expressions.

                     • label   -  only  remove  objects  matching  the  label  expression.  Valid
                       expressions include labelname or labelname=value.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion docker.prune system=True
                 salt myminion docker.prune system=True until=12h
                 salt myminion docker.prune images=True dangling=True
                 salt myminion docker.prune images=True label=foo,bar=baz

       salt.modules.dockermod.ps_(filters=None, **kwargs)
              Returns information about the  Docker  containers  on  the  Minion.  Equivalent  to
              running the docker ps Docker CLI command.

              all    False If True, stopped containers will also be returned

              host: False
                     If True, local host's network topology will be included

              verbose
                     False If True, a docker inspect will be run on each container returned.

              filters: None
                     A  dictionary  of  filters to be processed on the container list.  Available
                     filters:

                        • exited (int): Only containers with specified exit code

                        • status (str): One of restarting, running, paused, exited

                        • label (str): format either "key" or "key=value"

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary with each key being an container ID, and each value some general  info
              about that container (time created, name, command, etc.)

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.ps
                 salt myminion docker.ps all=True
                 salt myminion docker.ps filters="{'label': 'role=web'}"

       salt.modules.dockermod.pull(image,       insecure_registry=False,      api_response=False,
       client_timeout=60)
              Changed in version 2018.3.0: If no tag is specified in the image argument, all tags
              for the image will be pulled. For this reason is it recommended to pass image using
              the repo:tag notation.

              Pulls an image from a Docker registry

              image  Image to be pulled

              insecure_registry

                     containing the raw output from the Docker API.

                     NOTE:
                        This may result in a lot of additional return data, especially for larger
                        images.

              client_timeout
                     Timeout  in  seconds  for  the Docker client. This is not a timeout for this
                     function, but for receiving a response from the API.

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary will be returned, containing the following keys:

              •

                Layers - A dictionary containing one or more of the following keys:Already_Pulled - Layers that that were already present on the Minion

                       • Pulled - Layers that that were pulled

              • Status - A string containing a summary of the  pull  action  (usually  a  message
                saying that an image was downloaded, or that it was up to date).

              • Time_Elapsed - Time in seconds taken to perform the pull

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.dockermod.push(image,       insecure_registry=False,      api_response=False,
       client_timeout=60)
              Changed in version 2015.8.4: The Id and Image keys are no  longer  present  in  the
              return data.  This is due to changes in the Docker Remote API.

              Pushes  an image to a Docker registry. See the documentation at top of this page to
              configure authentication credentials.

              image  Image to be pushed. If just the repository name is passed, then  all  tagged
                     images for the specified repo will be pushed. If the image name is passed in
                     repo:tag notation, only the specified image will be pushed.

              insecure_registry
                     False If True, the Docker client will permit the use of insecure (non-HTTPS)
                     registries.

                     False  If  True,  an  API_Response  key  will be present in the return data,
                     containing the raw output from the Docker API.

              client_timeout
                     Timeout in seconds for the Docker client. This is not  a  timeout  for  this
                     function, but for receiving a response from the API.

              A dictionary will be returned, containing the following keys:

              •

                Layers - A dictionary containing one or more of the following keys:Already_Pushed - Layers that that were already present on the Minion

                       • Pushed - Layers that that were pushed

              • Time_Elapsed - Time in seconds taken to perform the push

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.dockermod.remove_volume(name)
              Remove a volume

              New in version 2015.8.4.

              name   Name of volume

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.remove_volume my_volume

       salt.modules.dockermod.rename(name, new_name)
              New in version 2017.7.0.

              Renames  a  container.  Returns  True if successful, and raises an error if the API
              returns one. If unsuccessful and the API returns no error (should not happen), then
              False will be returned.

              name   Name or ID of existing container

              new_name
                     New name to assign to container

                 salt myminion docker.rename foo bar

       salt.modules.dockermod.resolve_image_id(name)
              New in version 2018.3.0.

              Given an image name (or partial image ID), return the full image ID. If no match is
              found among the locally-pulled images, then False will be returned.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion docker.resolve_image_id foo

                 salt myminion docker.resolve_image_id 36540f359ca3

       salt.modules.dockermod.resolve_tag(name, **kwargs)
              New in version 2017.7.2.

              Changed in  version  2018.3.0:  Instead  of  matching  against  pulled  tags  using
              docker.list_tags,  this  function  now  simply inspects the passed image name using
              docker.inspect_image and returns the first matching tag. If no  matching  tags  are
              found, it is assumed that the passed image is an untagged image ID, and the full ID
              is returned.

              Inspects the specified image name and returns the first matching tag in the inspect
              results.  If  the  specified image is not pulled locally, this function will return
              False.

              name   Image name to resolve. If the image is found but there  are  no  tags,  this
                     means  that  the  image  name passed was an untagged image. In this case the
                     image ID will be returned.

              all    False If True, a list of all matching tags will be returned. If the image is
                     found but there are no tags, then a list will still be returned, but it will
                     simply contain the image ID.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              tags   Deprecated since version 2018.3.0.

              keep_env
                     None If not passed, only a sane default PATH environment  variable  will  be
                     set.  If  True,  all environment variables from the container's host will be
                     kept. Otherwise, a comma-separated list  (or  Python  list)  of  environment
                     variable names can be passed, and those environment variables will be kept.

                     set  to  False  by  default  to  prevent  accidental  removal  of  a running
                     container.

              stop   False If True, the container will be stopped first before  removal,  as  the
                     Docker API will not permit a running container to be removed. This option is
                     set to  False  by  default  to  prevent  accidental  removal  of  a  running

              name   Name (in repo:tag notation) or ID of image.

              force  False  If  True, the image will be removed even if the Minion has containers
                     created from that image

              prune  True If True, untagged parent image layers will be removed as well, set this
                     to False to keep them.

              Run cmd.run_all within a container

              NOTE:
                 While the command is run within the container, it is initiated  from  the  host.
                 Therefore, the PID in the return dict is from the host, not from the container.

              name   Container name or ID in which to run the command

              cmd    Command to run

              exec_driver

                     variable names can be passed, and those environment variables will be kept.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.run_all mycontainer 'ls -l /etc'

       salt.modules.dockermod.run_container(image,        name=None,         skip_translate=None,
       ignore_collisions=False,      validate_ip_addrs=True,     client_timeout=60,     bg=False,
       replace=False, force=False, networks=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2018.3.0.

              Equivalent to docker run on the Docker CLI. Runs the container,  waits  for  it  to
              exit, and returns the container's logs when complete.

              NOTE:
                 Not  to be confused with docker.run, which provides a cmd.run-like interface for
                 executing commands in a running container.

              This function accepts the same arguments as docker.create, with  the  exception  of
              start.  In  addition, it accepts the arguments from docker.logs, with the exception
              of follow, to control how logs are returned. Finally,  the  bg  argument  described
              below  can  be  used to optionally run the container in the background (the default
              behavior is to block until the container exits).

              bg     False If True, this function will not wait for the  container  to  exit  and
                     will  not  return  its logs. It will however return the container's name and
                     ID, allowing for docker.logs to be used to view the logs.

                     NOTE:
                        The logs will be inaccessible once the container exits if auto_remove  is
                        set to True, so keep this in mind.

              replace
                     False  If  True, and if the named container already exists, this will remove
                     the existing container. The default behavior is to  return  a  False  result
                     when the container already exists.

              force  False  If  True, and the named container already exists, and replace is also
                     set to True, then the container will be forcibly  removed.   Otherwise,  the
                     state will not proceed and will return a False result.

              networks
                     Networks  to  which  the  container  should  be  connected.  If automatic IP
                     configuration is being used, the networks can be a simple  list  of  network
                     names.  If custom IP configuration is being used, then this argument must be
                     passed as a dictionary.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion docker.run_container myuser/myimage command=/usr/local/bin/myscript.sh

              keep_env
                     None  If  not  passed, only a sane default PATH environment variable will be
                     set. If True, all environment variables from the container's  host  will  be

                     variable names can be passed, and those environment variables will be kept.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion docker.run_stdout mycontainer 'ls -l /etc'

       salt.modules.dockermod.save(name, path, overwrite=False, makedirs=False, compression=None,
       **kwargs)
              Saves  an  image and to a file on the minion. Equivalent to running the docker save
              Docker CLI command, but unlike docker save this will  also  work  on  named  images
              instead of just images IDs.

              name   Name or ID of image. Specify a specific tag by using the repo:tag notation.

              path   Absolute path on the Minion where the image will be exported

              overwrite
                     False Unless this option is set to True, then if the destination file exists
                     an error will be raised.

              makedirs
                     False If True, then if the parent directory of the  file  specified  by  the
                     path argument does not exist, Salt will attempt to create it.

              compression
                     None Can be set to any of the following:

                     • gzip or gz for gzip compression

                     • bzip2 or bz2 for bzip2 compression

                     • xz  or  lzma  for  XZ  compression (requires xz-utils, as well as the lzma
                       module from Python 3.3, available  in  Python  2  and  Python  3.0-3.2  as
                       backports.lzma)

                     This  parameter  can  be  omitted  and  Salt  will  attempt to determine the
                     compression type by examining the filename passed in the path parameter.

                     NOTE:
                        Since the Docker API does not support docker save, compression will be  a
                        bit  slower with this function than with docker.export since the image(s)
                        will first be saved and then the compression done afterwards.

              push   False If True, the container will be pushed to the master using cp.push.

                     NOTE:
                        This requires file_recv to be set to True on the Master.

              RETURN DATA

              A dictionary will be returned, containing the following keys:

              • Path - Path of the file that was saved

              • Push - Reports whether or not the file was successfully pushed to the Master

                (Only present if push=True)Size - Size of the file, in bytes

              • Size_Human - Size of the file, in human-readable units

              • Time_Elapsed - Time in seconds taken to perform the save

              Run cmd.script within a container

              NOTE:
                 While the command is run within the container, it is initiated  from  the  host.

              name   Container name or ID

              source Path  to the script. Can be a local path on the Minion or a remote file from

              template
                     None Templating engine to use on the script before running.

              exec_driver
                     None If not passed, the execution  driver  will  be  detected  as  described
                     above.

              stdin  None Standard input to be used for the script

              output_loglevel
                     debug  Level  at  which  to  log the output from the script. Set to quiet to

              use_vt False Use SaltStack's utils.vt to stream output to console.

              keep_env
                     None If not passed, only a sane default PATH environment  variable  will  be
                     set.  If  True,  all environment variables from the container's host will be

       Support for Portage

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a  minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different  module  (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not
          available), see here.

       optdepends

              • portage Python adapter

       For now all package names MUST include the package category, i.e.  'vim'  will  not  work,
       'app-editors/vim' will.

       salt.modules.ebuildpkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of latest_version.

              enforce a nice tree structure for /etc/portage/package.*  configuration files.

              New  in  version  0.17.0: Initial automatic enforcement added when pkg is used on a
              Gentoo system.

              Changed in  version  2014.7.0:  Configure  option  added  to  make  this  behaviour
              optional, defaulting to off.

              SEE ALSO:
                 ebuild.ex_mod_init is called automatically when a state invokes a pkg state on a
                 Gentoo system.  salt.states.pkg.mod_init()

                 ebuild.ex_mod_init uses portage_config.enforce_nice_config to  do  the  lifting.
                 salt.modules.portage_config.enforce_nice_config()

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.ex_mod_init

       salt.modules.ebuildpkg.install(name=None,    refresh=False,    pkgs=None,    sources=None,
       slot=None, fromrepo=None, uses=None, binhost=None, **kwargs)
              Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions  running  systemd>=205,
              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from
              the salt-minion daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd  from  killing
              any emerge commands spawned by Salt when the salt-minion service is restarted. (see
              KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of
              systemd-run(1)  can  be suppressed by setting a config option called systemd.scope,
              with a value of False (no quotes).

              Install the passed package(s), add refresh=True to sync  the  portage  tree  before
              package is installed.

              name   The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored
                     if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this
                     option  can  only  be  used  to  emerge  a package from the portage tree. To
                     install a tbz2 package manually, use the "sources" option described below.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

              refresh
                     Whether or not to sync the portage tree before installing.

              version
                     Install a specific version of the package, e.g. 1.0.9-r1. Ignored if  "pkgs"
                     or "sources" is passed.

              slot   Similar  to  version,  but  specifies  a valid slot to be installed. It will
                     install the latest available version in  the  specified  slot.   Ignored  if
                     "pkgs" or "sources" or "version" is passed.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install sys-devel/gcc slot='4.4'

              fromrepo
                     Similar  to  slot,  but  specifies  the  repository from the package will be
                     installed. It will install the latest available  version  in  the  specified
                     repository.  Ignored if "pkgs" or "sources" or "version" is passed.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install salt fromrepo='gentoo'

              uses   Similar  to  slot,  but  specifies a list of use flag.  Ignored if "pkgs" or
                     "sources" or "version" is passed.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install sys-devel/gcc uses='["nptl","-nossp"]'

              Multiple Package Installation Options:

              pkgs   A list of packages to install from the portage tree. Must  be  passed  as  a
                     python list.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo","bar","~category/package:slot::repository[use]"]'

              sources
                     A  list of tbz2 packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with
                     the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI  or  local
                     path to the package.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.tbz2"},{"bar": "salt://bar.tbz2"}]'

              binhost
                     has  two  options  try and force.  try - tells emerge to try and install the
                     package from a configured binhost.  force - forces  emerge  to  install  the
                     package from a binhost otherwise it fails out.

              Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                'new': '<new-version>'}}

       salt.modules.ebuildpkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              Return   the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or
              installation. If more than one package name is specified, a  dict  of  name/version
              pairs is returned.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

       salt.modules.ebuildpkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)
              List the packages currently installed in a dict:

                 {'<package_name>': '<version>'}

       salt.modules.ebuildpkg.list_upgrades(refresh=True, backtrack=3, **kwargs)
              List all available package upgrades.

              refresh
                     Whether or not to sync the portage tree before checking for upgrades.

              backtrack
                     Specifies  an integer number of times to backtrack if dependency calculation
                     fails due to a conflict or an unsatisfied dependency (default: ´3´).

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

                 salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades

       salt.modules.ebuildpkg.porttree_matches(name)
              Returns a list containing the matches for a given package  name  from  the  portage
              tree.  Note  that  the  specific  version  of  the package will not be provided for
              packages that have several versions in the portage tree, but rather the name of the
              package (i.e. "dev-python/paramiko").

       salt.modules.ebuildpkg.purge(name=None, slot=None, fromrepo=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)
              Changed  in  version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions running systemd>=205,

              default
                     If the key is not found in the environment, return this value.  Default: ''

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' environ.get foo
                 salt '*' environ.get baz default=False

              key    Must be a string. Used as key for environment lookup.

              value: Optional.  If  key exists in the environment, compare the current value with
                     this value. Return True if they are equal.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' environ.has_value foo

       salt.modules.environ.item(keys, default='')

              default
                     If the key is not found in the environment, return this value.  Default: ''

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' environ.item foo
                 salt '*' environ.item '[foo, baz]' default=None

       salt.modules.environ.items()
              Return a dict of the entire environment set for the salt process

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' environ.items

       salt.modules.environ.setenv(environ,          false_unsets=False,         clear_all=False,
       update_minion=False, permanent=False)
              Set multiple salt process environment variables from a dict.  Returns a dict.

              environ
                     Must be a dict. The top-level  keys  of  the  dict  are  the  names  of  the
                     environment  variables  to  set. Each key's value must be a string or False.
                     Refer to the 'false_unsets' parameter for  behavior  when  a  value  set  to
                     False.

              false_unsets
                     If  a  key's  value  is False and false_unsets is True, then the key will be
                     removed from the salt processes environment dict entirely. If a key's  value
                     is  False  and false_unsets is not True, then the key's value will be set to
                     an empty string.  Default: False

              clear_all
                     USE WITH CAUTION! This option can unset  environment  variables  needed  for
                     salt  to  function  properly.   If  clear_all  is True, then any environment
                     variables not defined in the environ dict will be deleted.  Default: False

              update_minion
                     If True, apply these environ changes to the  main  salt-minion  process.  If
                     False,  the  environ  changes  will only affect the current salt subprocess.
                     Default: False

              permanent
                     On Windows minions this will set the environment variable in the registry so
                     that  it  is always added as an environment variable when applications open.
                     If you want to set the variable to HKLM instead of HKCU just pass in  "HKLM"
                     for  this  parameter.  On all other minion types this will be ignored. Note:
                     This will only take affect on applications opened after this has been set.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' environ.setenv '{"foo": "bar", "baz": "quux"}'
                 salt '*' environ.setenv '{"a": "b", "c": False}' false_unsets=True

       salt.modules.environ.setval(key, val, false_unsets=False, permanent=False)
              Set a single salt process environment variable. Returns True on success.

              key    The environment key to set. Must be a string.

              val    The value to set. Must be a string or False.  Refer  to  the  'false_unsets'
                     parameter for behavior when set to False.

              false_unsets
                     If  val is False and false_unsets is True, then the key will be removed from
                     the  salt  processes  environment  dict  entirely.   If  val  is  False  and
                     false_unsets  is  not  True,  then  the  key's value will be set to an empty
                     string.  Default: False.

              permanent
                     On Windows minions this will set the environment variable in the registry so
                     that  it  is always added as an environment variable when applications open.

   salt.modules.esxi
       Glues  the  VMware  vSphere  Execution Module to the VMware ESXi Proxy Minions to the esxi
       proxymodule.

       New in version 2015.8.4.

       Depends: vSphere Remote Execution Module (salt.modules.vsphere)

       For documentation on commands that you can direct to an ESXi host via proxy, look  in  the
       documentation for salt.modules.vsphere.

       This  execution  module  calls  through  to  a  function  in  the ESXi proxy module called
       ch_config,  which  looks  up  the  function   passed   in   the   command   parameter   in
       salt.modules.vsphere and calls it.

       To  execute commands with an ESXi Proxy Minion using the vSphere Execution Module, use the
       esxi.cmd <vsphere-function-name> syntax. Both args and kwargs needed for  various  vsphere
       execution module functions must be passed through in a kwarg- type manor.

          salt 'esxi-proxy' esxi.cmd system_info

   salt.modules.etcd_mod
       Execution module to work with etcd

       depends

              • python-etcd

   Configuration
       To work with an etcd server you must configure an etcd profile. The etcd config can be set
       in either the Salt Minion configuration file or in pillar:

          my_etd_config:
            etcd.host: 127.0.0.1
            etcd.port: 4001

       It is technically possible to configure etcd without using a  profile,  but  this  is  not
       considered  to  be  a best practice, especially when multiple etcd servers or clusters are
       available.

          etcd.host: 127.0.0.1
          etcd.port: 4001

       NOTE:
          The etcd configuration can also be set in the Salt Master config file, but in order  to
          use  any etcd configurations defined in the Salt Master config, the pillar_opts must be
          set to True.

          Be aware that setting pillar_opts to True has security implications as this  makes  all
          master configuration settings available in all minion's pillars.

       salt.modules.etcd_mod.get_(key, recurse=False, profile=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Get a value from etcd, by direct path.  Returns None on failure.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion etcd.get /path/to/key
                 salt myminion etcd.get /path/to/key profile=my_etcd_config

       salt.modules.etcd_mod.ls_(path='/', profile=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Return all keys and dirs inside a specific path. Returns an empty dict on failure.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion etcd.ls /path/to/dir/
                 salt myminion etcd.ls /path/to/dir/ profile=my_etcd_config

       salt.modules.etcd_mod.rm_(key, recurse=False, profile=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Delete  a  key from etcd.  Returns True if the key was deleted, False if it was not
              and None if there was a failure.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion etcd.rm /path/to/key
                 salt myminion etcd.rm /path/to/key profile=my_etcd_config
                 salt myminion etcd.rm /path/to/key host=127.0.0.1 port=2379
                 salt myminion etcd.rm /path/to/dir recurse=True profile=my_etcd_config

       salt.modules.etcd_mod.set_(key, value, profile=None, ttl=None, directory=False, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Set a key in etcd by direct path. Optionally, create a directory or set  a  TTL  on
              the key.  Returns None on failure.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion etcd.set /path/to/key value
                 salt myminion etcd.set /path/to/key value profile=my_etcd_config
                 salt myminion etcd.set /path/to/key value host=127.0.0.1 port=2379
                 salt myminion etcd.set /path/to/dir '' directory=True
                 salt myminion etcd.set /path/to/key value ttl=5

       salt.modules.etcd_mod.tree(path='/', profile=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Recurse through etcd and return all values.  Returns None on failure.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion etcd.tree
                 salt myminion etcd.tree profile=my_etcd_config
                 salt myminion etcd.tree host=127.0.0.1 port=2379
                 salt myminion etcd.tree /path/to/keys profile=my_etcd_config

       salt.modules.etcd_mod.update(fields, path='', profile=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              Sets  a  dictionary  of  values  in  one  call.  Useful for large updates in syndic
              environments.  The dictionary can contain a mix of formats such as:

                 {
                   '/some/example/key': 'bar',
                   '/another/example/key': 'baz'
                 }

              Or it may be a straight dictionary, which will be flattened to look like the  above
              format:

                 {
                     'some': {
                         'example': {
                             'key': 'bar'
                         }
                     },
                     'another': {
                         'example': {
                             'key': 'baz'
                         }
                     }
                 }

              You  can  even  mix  the  two formats and it will be flattened to the first format.
              Leading and trailing '/' will be removed.

              Empty directories can be created by setting the  value  of  the  key  to  an  empty
              dictionary.

              The 'path' parameter will optionally set the root of the path to use.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion etcd.update "{'/path/to/key': 'baz', '/another/key': 'bar'}"
                 salt myminion etcd.update "{'/path/to/key': 'baz', '/another/key': 'bar'}" profile=my_etcd_config
                 salt myminion etcd.update "{'/path/to/key': 'baz', '/another/key': 'bar'}" host=127.0.0.1 port=2379
                 salt myminion etcd.update "{'/path/to/key': 'baz', '/another/key': 'bar'}" path='/some/root'

       salt.modules.etcd_mod.watch(key,   recurse=False,   profile=None,  timeout=0,  index=None,
       **kwargs)
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              Makes a best effort to watch for a key or tree change  in  etcd.   Returns  a  dict
              containing  the new key value ( or None if the key was deleted ), the modifiedIndex
              of the key, whether the key changed or not, the path to the key  that  changed  and
              whether it is a directory or not.

              If something catastrophic happens, returns {}

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion etcd.watch /path/to/key
                 salt myminion etcd.watch /path/to/key timeout=10
                 salt myminion etcd.watch /patch/to/key profile=my_etcd_config index=10

              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Parameterstag  --  A  tag  to give the event.  Use slashes to create a namespace for

                       myco/build/buildserver1/success, myco/build/buildserver1/failure.

                     • data  --  A  dictionary  of data to send in the event.  This is free-form.
                       Send any data points that are needed for whoever is consuming  the  event.
                       Arguments  on  the  CLI are interpreted as YAML so complex data structures
                       are possible.

                     • with_env (Specify True to include all environment variables, or specify  a
                       list  of  strings  of  variable  names to include.) -- Include environment
                       variables from  the  current  shell  environment  in  the  event  data  as
                       environ..  This  is  a  short-hand  for working with systems that seed the
                       environment with relevant data such as Jenkins.

                     • with_grains (Specify True to include all grains,  or  specify  a  list  of
                       strings  of  grain  names  to include.) -- Include grains from the current
                       minion in the event data as grains.

                     • with_pillar (Specify True to include all Pillar values, or specify a  list
                       of  strings  of  Pillar  keys  to  include.  It is a best-practice to only
                       specify a relevant subset of Pillar data.) -- Include Pillar  values  from
                       the  current  minion  in the event data as pillar. Remember Pillar data is
                       often sensitive data so be careful. This is useful for  passing  ephemeral
                       Pillar  values  through  an  event. Such as passing the pillar={} kwarg in
                       state.sls from the Master, through an event on the Minion,  then  back  to
                       the Master.

                     • with_env_opts  (Specify  True  to  include saltenv and pillarenv values or
                       False to omit them.) -- Include saltenv and pillarenv set on minion at the
                       moment when event is send into event data.

                     • kwargs -- Any additional keyword arguments passed to this function will be
                       interpreted as key-value pairs and  included  in  the  event  data.   This
                       provides a convenient alternative to YAML for simple values.

              CLI Example:

                 salt-call event.send myco/mytag foo=Foo bar=Bar
                 salt-call event.send 'myco/mytag' '{foo: Foo, bar: Bar}'

              A  convenient  way to allow Jenkins to execute salt-call is via sudo. The following
              rule in sudoers will allow the jenkins user to run only the following command.

              /etc/sudoers (allow preserving the environment):

                 jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:SETENV: /usr/bin/salt-call event.send*

              Call Jenkins via sudo (preserve the environment):

                 Attention

                        If  you need to pass a string to append and that string contains an equal
                        sign, you must include the argument name, args.  For example:

                     salt '*' file.append /etc/motd args='cheese=spam'

                     salt '*' file.append /etc/motd args="['cheese=spam','spam=cheese']"

       append_newline=False, insert_before_match=None, insert_after_match=None)
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              Replace content of a text block in a file, delimited by line markers

              A block of content delimited by comments can help you manage several lines  entries
              without worrying about old entries removal.

              NOTE:
                 This  function will store two copies of the file in-memory (the original version
                 and the edited version) in order to detect changes and only  edit  the  targeted
                 file if necessary.

              path   Filesystem path to the file to be edited

              marker_start
                     The line content identifying a line as the start of the content block.  Note
                     that the whole line containing this marker will be considered, so whitespace
                     or extra content before or after the marker is included in final output

              marker_end
                     The  line  content  identifying the end of the content block. As of versions
                     2017.7.5 and 2018.3.1, everything up to the text matching the marker will be
                     replaced,  so  it's  important  to  ensure  that  your  marker  includes the
                     beginning of the text you wish to replace.

              content
                     The content to be used between the two lines identified by marker_start  and
                     marker_stop.

              append_if_not_found: False
                     If  markers are not found and set to True then, the markers and content will
                     be appended to the file.

              prepend_if_not_found: False
                     If markers are not found and set to True then, the markers and content  will
                     be prepended to the file.

              insert_before_match
                     If  markers  are  not found, this parameter can be set to a regex which will
                     insert the block before the first found occurrence in the file.

                     New in version 3001.

              insert_after_match
                     If markers are not found, this parameter can be set to a  regex  which  will
                     insert the block after the first found occurrence in the file.

                     New in version 3001.

              backup The file extension to use for a backup of the file if any edit is made.  Set
                     to False to skip making a backup.

              dry_run: False
                     If True, do not make any edits to the file and  simply  return  the  changes
                     that would be made.

              show_changes: True
                     Controls  how  changes  are  presented. If True, this function will return a
                     unified diff of the changes made. If False, then it will  return  a  boolean
                     (True if any changes were made, otherwise False).

              append_newline: False
                     Controls  whether  or not a newline is appended to the content block. If the
                     value of this argument is True then a newline will be added to  the  content
                     block.  If  it  is  False,  then  a newline will not be added to the content
                     block. If it is None then a newline will only be added to the content  block
                     if it does not already end in a newline.

                     New in version 2016.3.4.

                     Changed in version 2017.7.5,2018.3.1: New behavior added when value is None.

                     Changed  in version 2019.2.0: The default value of this argument will change
                     to None to match the behavior of the file.blockreplace state

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.blockreplace /etc/hosts '#-- start managed zone foobar : DO NOT EDIT --' \
                 '#-- end managed zone foobar --' $'10.0.1.1 foo.foobar\n10.0.1.2 bar.foobar' True

       salt.modules.file.chattr(*files, **kwargs)

       salt.modules.file.comment(path, regex, char='#', backup='.bak')
              Deprecated since version 0.17.0: Use replace() instead.

              Comment out specified lines in a file

              path   The full path to the file to be edited

              regex  A regular expression used to find the lines that are to be  commented;  this
                     pattern  will be wrapped in parenthesis and will move any preceding/trailing
                     ^ or $ characters outside the parenthesis (e.g., the pattern ^foo$  will  be
                     rewritten as ^(foo)$)

              char: #
                     The  character to be inserted at the beginning of a line in order to comment
                     it out

              backup: .bak
                     The file will be backed up before edit with this file extension

                     WARNING:
                        This backup will be overwritten each time sed / comment  /  uncomment  is
                        called.   Meaning  the  backup  will  only  be  useful  after  the  first
                        invocation.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.comment /etc/modules pcspkr

       salt.modules.file.comment_line(path, regex, char='#', cmnt=True, backup='.bak')

              Parameterspath -- string The full path to the text file.

                     • regex -- string A regex expression that begins with ^ that will  find  the
                       line you wish to comment. Can be as simple as ^color =char  --  string  The character used to comment a line in the type of file
                       you're referencing.  Default is #cmnt -- boolean True to comment the line. False  to  uncomment  the  line.
                       Default is True.

                     • backup  --  string  The file extension to give the backup file. Default is
                       .bak Set to False/None to not keep a backup.

              Returns
                     boolean Returns True if successful, False if not

              CLI Example:

              The following example will comment out the pcspkr line  in  the  /etc/modules  file
              using the default # character and create a backup file named modules.bak

                 salt '*' file.comment_line '/etc/modules' '^pcspkr'

              CLI Example:

              The following example will uncomment the log_level setting in minion config file if
              it is set to either warning, info, or debug using the  #  character  and  create  a
              backup file named minion.bk

                 salt '*' file.comment_line 'C:\salt\conf\minion' '^log_level: (warning|info|debug)' '#' False '.bk'

       salt.modules.file.contains(path, text)
              Deprecated since version 0.17.0: Use search() instead.

              Return True if the file at path contains text

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.contains /etc/crontab 'mymaintenance.sh'

       salt.modules.file.contains_glob(path, glob_expr)
              Deprecated since version 0.17.0: Use search() instead.

              Return True if the given glob matches a string in the named file

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.contains_glob /etc/foobar '*cheese*'

       salt.modules.file.contains_regex(path, regex, lchar='')
              Deprecated since version 0.17.0: Use search() instead.

              Return  True  if  the given regular expression matches on any line in the text of a
              given file.

              If the lchar argument (leading char) is specified, it will  strip  lchar  from  the
              left side of each line before trying to match

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.contains_regex /etc/crontab

       salt.modules.file.copy(src, dst, recurse=False, remove_existing=False)
              Copy a file or directory from source to dst

              In  order  to  copy  a directory, the recurse flag is required, and will by default
              overwrite files in the destination  with  the  same  path,  and  retain  all  other
              existing files. (similar to cp -r on unix)

              remove_existing  will remove all files in the target directory, and then copy files
              from the source.

              NOTE:
                 The copy function accepts paths  that  are  local  to  the  Salt  minion.   This
                 function  does  not support salt://, http://, or the other additional file paths
                 that are supported by states.file.managed and states.file.recurse.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.copy /path/to/src /path/to/dst
                 salt '*' file.copy /path/to/src_dir /path/to/dst_dir recurse=True
                 salt '*' file.copy /path/to/src_dir /path/to/dst_dir recurse=True remove_existing=True

       salt.modules.file.delete_backup(path, backup_id)
              New in version 0.17.0.

              Delete a previous version of a file that was backed  up  using  Salt's  file  state
              backup system.

              path   The path on the minion to check for backups

              backup_id
                     The  numeric  id  for  the  backup  you  wish  to  delete,  as  found  using
                     file.list_backups

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.delete_backup /var/cache/salt/minion/file_backup/home/foo/bar/baz.txt 0

       salt.modules.file.directory_exists(path)
              Tests to see if path is a valid directory.  Returns True/False.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.directory_exists /etc

       salt.modules.file.dirname(path)
              Returns the directory component of a pathname

              New in version 2015.5.0.

              This can be useful at the CLI but is frequently useful when scripting.

                 {%- from salt['file.dirname'](tpldir) + '/vars.jinja' import parent_vars %}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.dirname 'test/path/filename.config'

       salt.modules.file.diskusage(path)
              Recursively calculate disk usage of path and return it in bytes

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.diskusage /path/to/check

       salt.modules.file.extract_hash(hash_fn,   hash_type='sha256',   file_name='',   source='',
       source_hash_name=None)
              Changed in version 2016.3.5: Prior to this version, only the file_name argument was
              considered for filename matches in the hash file. This  would  be  problematic  for
              cases  in  which  the  user  was relying on a remote checksum file that they do not
              control, and they wished to use a different name for that file on the  minion  from
              the filename on the remote server (and in the checksum file). For example, managing
              /tmp/myfile.tar.gz       when       the       remote       file       was        at
              https://mydomain.tld/different_name.tar.gz.  The file.managed state now also passes
              this function the source URI as well as the  source_hash_name  (if  specified).  In
              cases  where  source_hash_name  is  specified,  it  takes  precedence over both the
              file_name and source. When it is not specified,  file_name  takes  precedence  over
              source. This allows for better capability for matching hashes.

              Changed  in  version  2016.11.0:  File  name  and  source URI matches are no longer
              disregarded when source_hash_name is specified.  They  will  be  used  as  fallback
              matches if there is no match to the source_hash_name value.

              This  routine  is  called  from the file.managed state to pull a hash from a remote
              file.  Regular expressions are used line by line on the source_hash file, to find a
              potential  candidate  of  the  indicated  hash  type.  This avoids many problems of
              arbitrary file layout rules. It specifically permits pulling hash codes from debian
              *.dsc files.

              If  no  exact match of a hash and filename are found, then the first hash found (if
              any) will be returned. If no hashes at all are found, then None will be returned.

              For example:

                 openerp_7.0-latest-1.tar.gz:
                   file.managed:
                     - name: /tmp/openerp_7.0-20121227-075624-1_all.deb
                     - source: http://nightly.openerp.com/7.0/nightly/deb/openerp_7.0-20121227-075624-1.tar.gz
                     - source_hash: http://nightly.openerp.com/7.0/nightly/deb/openerp_7.0-20121227-075624-1.dsc

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.extract_hash /path/to/hash/file sha512 /etc/foo

       salt.modules.file.file_exists(path)
              Tests to see if path is a valid file.  Returns True/False.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.file_exists /etc/passwd

       salt.modules.file.find(path, *args, **kwargs)
              Approximate the Unix find(1) command and return a  list  of  paths  that  meet  the
              specified criteria.

              The options include match criteria:

                 type    = file-types                # match any listed type
                 user    = users                     # match any listed user
                 group   = groups                    # match any listed group
                 size    = [+-]number[size-unit]     # default unit = byte
                 mtime   = interval                  # modified since date
                 grep    = regex                     # search file contents

              and/or actions:

                 delete [= file-types]               # default type = 'f'
                 exec    = command [arg ...]         # where {} is replaced by pathname
                 print  [= print-opts]

              and/or depth criteria:

                 maxdepth = maximum depth to transverse in path
                 mindepth = minimum depth to transverse before checking files or directories

              The default action is print=path

              path-glob:

                 *                = match zero or more chars
                 ?                = match any char
                 [abc]            = match a, b, or c

              file1  The first file to feed into the diff utility

                     Changed in version 2018.3.0: Can now be either a local or  remote  file.  In
                     earlier releases, thuis had to be a file local to the minion.

              file2  The second file to feed into the diff utility

                     Changed  in  version  2018.3.0: Can now be either a local or remote file. In

                     salt://somefile.txt)

              show_filenames: True
                     Set to False to hide the filenames in the top two lines of the diff.

              show_changes: True
                     If  set to False, and there are differences, then instead of a diff a simple
                     message stating that show_changes is set to False will be returned.

              template: False
                     Set to True if two templates are being compared. This is not  useful  except
                     for within states, with the obfuscate_templates option set to True.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              source_hash_file1
                     If  file1  is  an  http(s)/ftp  URL and the file exists in the minion's file
                     cache, this option can be passed to keep the minion from re-downloading  the
                     archive if the cached copy matches the specified hash.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              source_hash_file2
                     If  file2  is  an  http(s)/ftp  URL and the file exists in the minion's file
                     cache, this option can be passed to keep the minion from re-downloading  the
                     archive if the cached copy matches the specified hash.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

       salt.modules.file.get_hash(path, form='sha256', chunk_size=65536)
              Get the hash sum of a file

              This is better than get_sum for the following reasons:

                     • It does not read the entire file into memory.

                     •

                       It does not return a string on error. The returned value of
                              get_sum  cannot  really  be  trusted  since  it  is  vulnerable  to
                              collisions: get_sum(..., 'xyz') == 'Hash xyz not supported'

              Used by file.get_managed to obtain the hash  and  hash  type  from  the  parameters
              specified below.

              file_name
                     Optional file name being managed, for matching with file.extract_hash.

              source Source  file,  as  used in file and other states. If source_hash refers to a
                     file containing hashes, then this filename will be used to match a  filename
                     in  that  file.  If the source_hash is a hash expression, then this argument
                     will be ignored.

              source_hash
                     Hash file/expression, as used in file and other states. If this value refers
                     to  a  remote  URL  or  absolute path to a local file, it will be cached and
                     file.extract_hash will be used to obtain a hash from it.

              source_hash_name
                     Specific file name to look for when source_hash refers  to  a  remote  file,
                     used to disambiguate ambiguous matches.

              saltenv: base
                     Salt  fileserver  environment  from  which to retrieve the source_hash. This
                     value will only be used when source_hash  refers  to  a  file  on  the  Salt
                     fileserver (i.e. one beginning with salt://).

              verify_ssl
                     If  False,  remote  https  file  sources (https://) and source_hash will not
                     attempt to validate the servers certificate. Default is True.

                     NOTE:
                        Globbing  is supported (i.e. /var/log/foo/*.log, but if globbing is being
                        used then the path should be quoted to keep the shell from attempting  to
                        expand the glob expression.

              pattern
                     Pattern to match. For example: test, or a[0-5]

              opts   Additional  command-line flags to pass to the grep command. For example: -v,
                     or -i -B2

                     NOTE:
                        The options should come after a double-dash (as  shown  in  the  examples
                        below) to keep Salt's own argument parser from interpreting them.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.grep /etc/passwd nobody
                 salt '*' file.grep /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ipaddr -- -i

              This can be useful at the CLI but is frequently  useful  when  scripting  combining
              path variables:

                 {% set www_root = '/var' %}
                 {% set app_dir = 'myapp' %}

              New in version 2015.8.0.

              Line-focused editing of a file.

              NOTE:
                 file.line exists for historic reasons, and is not generally recommended. It  has
                 a lot of quirks.  You may find file.replace to be more suitable.

              file.line  is  most useful if you have single lines in a file (potentially a config
              file) that you would like to manage. It can remove, add, and replace a single  line
              at a time.

              path   Filesystem path to the file to be edited.

              content
                     Content of the line. Allowed to be empty if mode='delete'.

              match  Match  the  target  line  for an action by a fragment of a string or regular
                     expression.

                     If neither before nor after are provided, and  match  is  also  None,  match
                     falls back to the content value.

              mode   Defines how to edit a line. One of the following options is required:

                     •

                       ensure If  line  does not exist, it will be added. If before and after are
                              specified either zero lines, or lines that contain the content line
                              are  allowed to be in between before and after. If there are lines,
                              and none of them match then it will produce an error.

                     •

                       replace
                              If line already exists, the entire line will be replaced.

                     •

                       delete Delete the line, if found.

                     •

                       insert Nearly identical to ensure. If a line does not exist,  it  will  be
                              added.

                              The  differences  are  that  multiple  (and non-matching) lines are
                              alloweed between before and after, if they are specified. The  line
                              will always be inserted right before before. insert also allows the
                              use of location to specify that the line should  be  added  at  the
                              beginning or end of the file.

                     NOTE:
                        If  mode='insert'  is used, at least one of location, before, or after is
                        required.  If location is used, before and after are ignored.

              location
                     In mode='insert' only, whether to place the content at the beginning or  end
                     of  a the file. If location is provided, before and after are ignored. Valid
                     locations:

                     •

                       start  Place the content at the beginning of the file.

                     •

                       end    Place the content at the end of the file.

              before Regular expression or an exact case-sensitive fragment of the string.   Will
                     be  tried  as  both  a regex and a part of the line.  Must match exactly one
                     line in the file.  This value is only used in ensure and insert  modes.  The
                     content  will  be  inserted just before this line, with matching indentation
                     unless indent=False.

              after  Regular expression or an exact case-sensitive fragment of the string.   Will
                     be  tried  as  both  a regex and a part of the line.  Must match exactly one
                     line in the file.  This value is only used in ensure and insert  modes.  The
                     content  will  be  inserted  directly after this line, unless before is also
                     provided. If before is not  provided,  indentation  will  match  this  line,
                     unless indent=False.

              show_changes
                     Output  a  unified diff of the old file and the new file.  If False return a
                     boolean if any changes were made.  Default is True

                     NOTE:
                        Using this option will store  two  copies  of  the  file  in-memory  (the
                        original version and the edited version) in order to generate the diff.

              backup Create    a    backup   of   the   original   file   with   the   extension:
                     "Year-Month-Day-Hour-Minutes-Seconds".

              quiet  Do not raise any exceptions. E.g. ignore the fact  that  the  file  that  is
                     tried to be edited does not exist and nothing really happened.

              indent Keep  indentation with the previous line. This option is not considered when
                     the delete mode is specified. Default is True

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.line /etc/nsswitch.conf "networks:        files dns" after="hosts:.*?" mode='ensure'

              NOTE:
                 If an equal sign (=) appears in an argument to a Salt command, it is interpreted
                 as  a keyword argument in the format of key=val. That processing can be bypassed
                 in order to pass an equal sign through to the remote shell command  by  manually
                 specifying the kwarg:

                     salt '*' file.line /path/to/file content="CREATEMAIL_SPOOL=no" match="CREATE_MAIL_SPOOL=yes" mode="replace"

              Examples:

              Here's a simple config file.

                 [some_config]
                 # Some config file
                 # this line will go away

                 here=False
                 away=True
                 goodybe=away

                 salt \* file.line /some/file.conf mode=delete match=away

              This will produce:

                 [some_config]
                 # Some config file

                 here=False
                 away=True
                 goodbye=away

              If that command is executed 2 more times, this will be the result:

                 [some_config]
                 # Some config file

                 here=False

              If we reset the file to its original state and run

                 salt \* file.line /some/file.conf mode=replace match=away content=here

              Three passes will this state will result in this file:

                 [some_config]
                 # Some config file
                 here

                 here=False
                 here
                 here

              Each pass replacing the first line found.

              Given this file:

                 insert after me
                 something
                 insert before me

              The following command

                 salt \* file.line /some/file.txt mode=insert after="insert after me" before="insert before me" content=thrice

              If that command is executed 3 times, the result will be:

                 insert after me
                 something
                 thrice
                 thrice
                 thrice
                 insert before me

              If  the  mode  is  ensure  instead,  it will fail each time. To succeed, we need to
              remove the incorrect line between before and after:

                 insert after me
                 insert before me

              With an ensure mode, this will insert thrice the first time and make no changes for
              subsequent calls. For something simple this is fine, but if you have instead blocks
              like this:

                 Begin SomeBlock
                     foo = bar
                 End

                 Begin AnotherBlock
                     another = value
                 End

              And you try to use ensure this way:

                 salt \* file.line  /tmp/fun.txt mode="ensure" content="this = should be my content" after="Begin SomeBlock" before="End"

              This will fail because there are multiple End lines. Without that problem, it still
              would  fail  because  there  is  a non-matching line, foo = bar. Ensure only allows
              either zero, or the matching line present to  be  present  in  between  before  and
              after.

              Changed in version 2018.3.1: If lsattr is not installed  on  the  system,  None  is
              returned.

              Changed  in  version 2018.3.4: If on AIX, None is returned even if in filesystem as
              lsattr on AIX is not the same thing as the linux version.

              Obtain the modifiable attributes of the given file. If path is to a  directory,  an
              empty list is returned.

              NOTE:
                 The path must end with a trailing slash otherwise the directory/directories will
                 be created up to the parent directory. For example if path is /opt/code, then it
                 would be treated as /opt/ but if the  path  ends  with  a  trailing  slash  like
                 /opt/code/, then it would be treated as /opt/code/.

              name   location to place the file

              sfn    location of cached file on the minion

                     This  is  the  path to the file stored on the minion. This file is placed on
                     the minion using cp.cache_file.  If the hash sum of that  file  matches  the
                     source_sum, we do not transfer the file to the minion again.

                     This file is then grabbed and if it has template set, it renders the file to
                     be   placed   into   the    correct    place    on    the    system    using

              keep_mode: False
                     If  True, and the source is a file from the Salt fileserver (or a local file
                     on the minion), the mode of the destination file will be set to the mode  of
                     the source file.

                     NOTE:
                        keep_mode does not work with salt-ssh.

                        As  a consequence of how the files are transferred to the minion, and the
                        inability to connect back to the master with salt-ssh, salt is unable  to
                        stat  the  file as it exists on the fileserver and thus cannot mirror the

                     salt '*' file.prepend /etc/motd args='cheese=spam'

                     salt '*' file.prepend /etc/motd args="['cheese=spam','spam=cheese']"

              Return  the  path  that a symlink points to If canonicalize is set to True, then it
              return the final target

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.readlink /path/to/link

       salt.modules.file.remove(path)
              Remove the named file. If a directory is supplied, it will be recursively deleted.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.remove /tmp/foo

              Changed in version 3000: The method now works on all types of file system  entries,
              not just files, directories and symlinks.

       salt.modules.file.remove_backup(path, backup_id)
              This function is an alias of delete_backup.
                 New in version 0.17.0.

                 Delete  a  previous version of a file that was backed up using Salt's file state
                 backup system.

                 path   The path on the minion to check for backups

                 backup_id
                        The numeric id for  the  backup  you  wish  to  delete,  as  found  using
                        file.list_backups

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' file.delete_backup /var/cache/salt/minion/file_backup/home/foo/bar/baz.txt 0

       salt.modules.file.rename(src, dst)
              Rename a file or directory

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.rename /path/to/src /path/to/dst

       salt.modules.file.replace(path,    pattern,    repl,    count=0,    flags=8,    bufsize=1,
       append_if_not_found=False,       prepend_if_not_found=False,       not_found_content=None,
       backup='.bak',         dry_run=False,         search_only=False,        show_changes=True,
       ignore_if_missing=False, preserve_inode=True, backslash_literal=False)
              New in version 0.17.0.

              Replace occurrences of a pattern in a file. If show_changes is True, then a diff of
              what  changed  will be returned, otherwise a True will be returned when changes are
              made, and False when no changes are made.

              This is a pure Python implementation that wraps Python's sub().

              path   Filesystem path to the file to be edited. If a symlink is specified, it will
                     be resolved to its target.

              pattern
                     A regular expression, to be matched using Python's search().

              repl   The replacement text

              count: 0
                     Maximum number of pattern occurrences to be replaced. If count is a positive
                     integer n, only n occurrences will be replaced,  otherwise  all  occurrences
                     will be replaced.

              flags (list or int)
                     A  list  of  flags  defined  in  the re module documentation from the Python
                     standard library. Each list item should be a string that will  correlate  to
                     the human-friendly flag name. E.g., ['IGNORECASE', 'MULTILINE']. Optionally,
                     flags may be an int, with a value corresponding to the XOR (|)  of  all  the
                     desired flags. Defaults to 8 (which supports 'MULTILINE').

              bufsize (int or str)
                     How  much  of  the  file  to buffer into memory at once. The default value 1
                     processes one line at a time. The special value file may be specified  which
                     will read the entire file into memory before processing.

              append_if_not_found: False
                     New in version 2014.7.0.

                     If  set to True, and pattern is not found, then the content will be appended
                     to the file.

              prepend_if_not_found: False
                     New in version 2014.7.0.

                     If set to True and pattern is not found, then the content will be  prepended
                     to the file.

              not_found_content
                     New in version 2014.7.0.

                     Content  to  use  for  append/prepend  if not found. If None (default), uses
                     repl. Useful when repl uses references to group in pattern.

              backup: .bak
                     The file extension to use for a backup of the file before  editing.  Set  to
                     False to skip making a backup.

              dry_run: False
                     If  set to True, no changes will be made to the file, the function will just
                     return the changes that would have been  made  (or  a  True/False  value  if
                     show_changes is set to False).

              search_only: False
                     If  set  to  true,  this  no changes will be performed on the file, and this
                     function will simply return True if the pattern was matched,  and  False  if
                     not.

              show_changes: True
                     If  True,  return  a diff of changes made. Otherwise, return True if changes
                     were made, and False if not.

                     NOTE:
                        Using this option will store two  copies  of  the  file  in  memory  (the
                        original  version  and the edited version) in order to generate the diff.
                        This may not normally be a concern, but could impact performance if  used
                        with large files.

              ignore_if_missing: False
                     New in version 2015.8.0.

                     If  set  to True, this function will simply return False if the file doesn't
                     exist. Otherwise, an error will be thrown.

              preserve_inode: True
                     New in version 2015.8.0.

                     Preserve the inode of the file, so that any hard links continue to share the
                     inode  with  the  original filename. This works by copying the file, reading
                     from the copy, and writing to the file at the original inode. If False,  the
                     file  will  be moved rather than copied, and a new file will be written to a
                     new inode, but using the original filename. Hard links will  then  share  an
                     inode with the backup, instead (if using backup to create a backup copy).

              backslash_literal: False
                     New in version 2016.11.7.

                     Interpret  backslashes  as  literal  backslashes for the repl and not escape
                     characters.   This  will  help  when  using  append/prepend  so   that   the
                     backslashes are not interpreted for the repl on the second run of the state.

              If  an equal sign (=) appears in an argument to a Salt command it is interpreted as
              a keyword argument in the format key=val. That processing can be bypassed in  order
              to  pass  an  equal sign through to the remote shell command by manually specifying
              the kwarg:

                 salt '*' file.replace /path/to/file pattern='=' repl=':'
                 salt '*' file.replace /path/to/file pattern="bind-address\s*=" repl='bind-address:'

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' file.replace /etc/httpd/httpd.conf pattern='LogLevel warn' repl='LogLevel info'
                 salt '*' file.replace /some/file pattern='before' repl='after' flags='[MULTILINE, IGNORECASE]'

       salt.modules.file.restore_backup(path, backup_id)
              New in version 0.17.0.

                     If true, inserts 'MULTILINE' into flags and sets bufsize to 'file'.

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              freebsd-update  install  wrapper.  Install  the  most  recently  fetched updates or
              upgrade.

              kwargs:
                     Parameters of freebsd-update command.

       salt.modules.freebsd_update.rollback(**kwargs)
              New in version 2016.3.4.

              freebsd-update rollback wrapper. Uninstalls the most recently installed updates.

              kwargs:
                     Parameters of freebsd-update command.

       salt.modules.freebsd_update.update(**kwargs)
              New in version 2016.3.4.

              Command that simplifies freebsd-update by running freebsd-update  fetch  first  and
              then freebsd-update install.

              kwargs:
                     Parameters of freebsd-update command.

       salt.modules.freebsd_update.upgrade(**kwargs)
              New in version 2016.3.4.

              Dummy  function  used  only  to print a message that upgrade is not available.  The
              reason is that upgrade needs manual intervention and reboot, so even if used with:
                 yes | freebsd-upgrade -r VERSION

              the additional freebsd-update install that needs to run after the reboot cannot  be
              implemented easily.

              kwargs:
                     Parameters of freebsd-update command.

   salt.modules.freebsdpkg
       Remote package support using pkg_add(1)

       IMPORTANT:
          If  you  feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and
          it is using a different module (or gives an  error  similar  to  'pkg.install'  is  not
          available), see here.

       WARNING:
          This  module  has  been  completely  rewritten.  Up to and including version 0.17.0, it
          supported pkg_add(1), but checked for the existence of a pkgng local database  and,  if
          found,   would  provide  some  of pkgng's functionality. The rewrite of this module has
          removed all pkgng support, and moved it to the pkgng execution module. For versions  <=
          0.17.0,  the  documentation  here  should not be considered accurate. If your Minion is
          running one of these versions, then the documentation for this  module  can  be  viewed
          using the sys.doc function:

              salt bsdminion sys.doc pkg

       This  module  acts as the default package provider for FreeBSD 9 and older. If you need to
       use pkgng on a FreeBSD 9 system, you will need to override the pkg provider by setting the
       providers parameter in your Minion config file, in order to use pkgng.

          providers:
            pkg: pkgng

       More information on pkgng support can be found in the documentation for the pkgng module.

       This  module  will  respect the PACKAGEROOT and PACKAGESITE environment variables, if set,
       but these values can also be overridden in several ways:

       1. Salt configuration parameters. The configuration parameters freebsdpkg.PACKAGEROOT  and
          freebsdpkg.PACKAGESITE  are  recognized.   These  config parameters are looked up using
          config.get and can thus be specified in the Master config file, Grains, Pillar,  or  in
          the Minion config file. Example:

             freebsdpkg.PACKAGEROOT: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/
             freebsdpkg.PACKAGESITE: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ia64/packages-9-stable/Latest/

       2. CLI  arguments.  Both  the  packageroot  (used  interchangeably  with  fromrepo for API
          compatibility) and packagesite CLI arguments are recognized, and override their  config
          counterparts from section 1 above.

                 salt -G 'os:FreeBSD' pkg.install zsh fromrepo=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/
                 salt -G 'os:FreeBSD' pkg.install zsh packageroot=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/
                 salt -G 'os:FreeBSD' pkg.install zsh packagesite=ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ia64/packages-9-stable/Latest/

             .. note::

                 These arguments can also be passed through in states:

                 .. code-block:: yaml

                     zsh:
                       pkg.installed:
                         - fromrepo: ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of latest_version.
                 pkg_add(1) is not capable of querying for remote packages, so this function will
                 always return results as if  there  is  no  package  available  for  install  or
                 upgrade.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.delete(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)

                 Remove packages using pkg_delete(1)

                 name   The name of the package to be deleted.

                 Multiple Package Options:

                 pkgs   A  list  of packages to delete. Must be passed as a python list. The name
                        parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

                 New in version 0.16.0.

                 Returns a dict containing the changes.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pkg.remove <package name>
                     salt '*' pkg.remove <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
                     salt '*' pkg.remove pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.file_dict(*packages, **kwargs)
              List the files that belong to a package, grouped by  package.  Not  specifying  any
              packages  will  return a list of _every_ file on the system's package database (not
              generally recommended).

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.file_list(*packages, **kwargs)
              List the files that belong to a package. Not specifying any packages will return  a
              list of _every_ file on the system's package database (not generally recommended).

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list

                     default, as well as the PACKAGEROOT environment variable.

              packagesite
                     Specify  the  exact  directory  from  which  to  install the remote package.
                     Overrides the PACKAGESITE environment variable, if present.

              Multiple Package Installation Options:

              pkgs   A list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed  as
                     a python list.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

              sources
                     A  list  of packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with the
                     keys being package names, and the values being the source URI or local  path
                     to the package.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.deb"}, {"bar": "salt://bar.deb"}]'

              Return a dict containing the new package names and versions:

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                'new': '<new-version>'}}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              pkg_add(1)  is  not  capable of querying for remote packages, so this function will
              always return results as if there is no package available for install or upgrade.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, with_origin=False, **kwargs)
              List the packages currently installed as a dict:

                 {'<package_name>': '<version>'}

              with_origin
                     False Return a nested dictionary containing both the origin name and version
                     for each installed package.

                     New in version 2014.1.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.purge(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)

                     salt '*' pkg.remove pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.freebsdpkg.refresh_db(**kwargs)
              pkg_add(1) does not use a local database of available packages,  so  this  function
              simply returns True. it exists merely for API compatibility.

              CLI Example:

   salt.modules.freebsdports
       Install software from the FreeBSD ports(7) system

       New in version 2014.1.0.

       This  module  allows you to install ports using BATCH=yes to bypass configuration prompts.
       It is recommended to use the ports state to install ports, but it is also possible to  use
       this module exclusively from the command line.

          salt minion-id ports.config security/nmap IPV6=off
          salt minion-id ports.install security/nmap

       salt.modules.freebsdports.config(name, reset=False, **kwargs)
              Modify  configuration  options for a given port. Multiple options can be specified.
              To see the available options for a port, use ports.showconfig.

              name   The port name, in category/name format

              reset  False If True, runs a make rmconfig for the port, clearing its configuration
                     before setting the desired options

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' ports.config security/nmap IPV6=off

       salt.modules.freebsdports.deinstall(name)
              De-install a port.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ports.deinstall security/nmap

       salt.modules.freebsdports.install(name, clean=True)
              Install  a  port  from the ports tree. Installs using BATCH=yes for non-interactive
              building. To set config options for a given port, use ports.config.

              clean  True If True, cleans after installation. Equivalent to running make  install
                     clean BATCH=yes.

              NOTE:
                 It  may  be  helpful  to  run  this function using the -t option to set a higher
                 timeout, since compiling a port may cause the Salt command to exceed the default
                 timeout.

              CLI Example:

                 salt -t 1200 '*' ports.install security/nmap

       salt.modules.freebsdports.list_all()
              Lists all ports available.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ports.list_all

              WARNING:
                 Takes a while to run, and returns a LOT of output

       salt.modules.freebsdports.rmconfig(name)
              Clear the cached options for the specified port; run a make rmconfig

              name   The name of the port to clear

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ports.rmconfig security/nmap

       salt.modules.freebsdports.search(name)

   salt.modules.gcp_addon
       A  route  is  a  rule  that specifies how certain packets should be handled by the virtual
       network. Routes are associated with virtual machine instances  by  tag,  and  the  set  of
       routes for a particular VM is called its routing table.  For each packet leaving a virtual
       machine, the system searches that machine's routing  table  for  a  single  best  matching
       route.

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       epel_url='http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm')
              Create an image for a specific platform.

              Please note that this function MUST be run as root, as images that are created make
              files belonging to root.

              platform
                     Which platform to use to create the image. Currently supported platforms are
                     rpm, deb and pacman.

              root   Local path to create the root of the image filesystem.

              img_format
                     Which  format  to  create the image in. By default, just copies files into a
                     directory on the local filesystem  (dir).  Future  support  will  exist  for
                     sparse.

              fs_format
                     When using a non-dir img_format, which filesystem to format the image to. By
                     default, ext2.

              fs_opts
                     When using a non-dir img_format, a dict of opts may be specified.

              arch   Architecture to  install  packages  for,  if  supported  by  the  underlying
                     bootstrap tool. Currently only used for deb.

              flavor Which  flavor  of operating system to install. This correlates to a specific
                     directory on the distribution repositories. For instance, wheezy on Debian.

              repo_url
                     Mainly important for Debian-based repos. Base URL for the mirror to  install
                     from. (e.x.: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/)

              static_qemu
                     Local  path  to  the  static  qemu  binary  required  for this arch.  (e.x.:
                     /usr/bin/qemu-amd64-static)

              pkg_confs
                     The location of the conf  files  to  copy  into  the  image,  to  point  the
                     installer to the right repos and configuration.

              img_size
                     If img_format is not dir, then the size of the image must be specified.

              mount_dir
                     If  img_format is not dir, then the image must be mounted somewhere.  If the
                     mount_dir   is   not   specified,   then   it    will    be    created    at
                     /opt/salt-genesis.<random_uuid>.   This  directory  will  be  unmounted  and
                     removed when the process is finished.

              pkg_cache
                     This points to a directory containing a cache of package files to be  copied
                     to the image. It does not need to be specified.

              pkgs   A  list  of  packages  to  be installed on this image. For RedHat, this will
                     include yum, centos-release and iputils by default.

              exclude_pkgs
                     A list of packages to be excluded.  If  you  do  not  want  to  install  the
                     defaults, you need to include them in this list.

              epel_url
                     The URL to download the EPEL release package from.

              CLI Examples:

       ignore_retcode=False, output_encoding=None)
              Changed in version 2015.8.0: The --verbose command line argument is now implied

              Interface to git-add(1)

              cwd    The path to the git checkout

              filename
                     The location of the file/directory to add, relative to cwd

              opts   Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

                     NOTE:
                        On the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to
                        precede  them  with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to avoid causing
                        errors with Salt's own argument parsing.

              git_opts
                     Any  additional  options  to  add  to  git  command  itself  (not  the   add
                     subcommand),  in  a  single string. This is useful for passing -c to run git
                     with temporary changes to the git configuration.

                     NOTE:
                        This is only supported in git 1.7.2 and newer.

              user   User under which to run the git command. By default, the command is  run  by
                     the user under which the minion is running.

              password
                        Windows  only.  Required  when  specifying  user.  This parameter will be
                        ignored on non-Windows platforms.

                     New in version 2016.3.4.

              ignore_retcode
                     False If True, do not log an error to the minion  log  if  the  git  command
                     returns a nonzero exit status.

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              output_encoding
                     Use  this  option to specify which encoding to use to decode the output from
                     any git commands which are run. This should not be needed in most cases.

                     NOTE:
                        This should only be needed if the files in the  repository  were  created
                        with  filenames  using  an  encoding  other  than UTF-8 to handle Unicode
                        characters.

                     New in version 2018.3.1.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion git.add /path/to/repo foo/bar.py
                 salt myminion git.add /path/to/repo foo/bar.py opts='--dry-run'

       salt.modules.git.archive(cwd, output,  rev='HEAD',  prefix=None,  git_opts='',  user=None,
       password=None, ignore_retcode=False, output_encoding=None, **kwargs)
              Changed in version 2015.8.0: Returns True if successful, raises an error if not.

              Interface to git-archive(1), exports a tarball/zip file of the repository

              cwd    The path to be archived

                     NOTE:
                        git archive permits a partial archive to be created. Thus, this path does
                        not need to be the root of the git repository. Only the files within  the
                        directory  specified  by  cwd  (and  its  subdirectories)  will be in the
                        resulting archive. For example, if there is a git checkout  at  /tmp/foo,
                        then  passing  /tmp/foo/bar  as  the  cwd  will  result in just the files
                        underneath /tmp/foo/bar to be exported as an archive.

              output The path of the archive to be created

              overwrite
                     False Unless set to True, Salt will over overwrite an  existing  archive  at
                     the path specified by the output argument.

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              rev    HEAD The revision from which to create the archive

              format Manually specify the file format of the resulting archive. This argument can
                     be omitted, and git archive will attempt to  guess  the  archive  type  (and
                     compression)  from  the  filename.  zip, tar, tar.gz, and tgz are extensions
                     that are recognized automatically, and git  can  be  configured  to  support
                     other archive types with the addition of git configuration keys.

                     See the git-archive(1) manpage explanation of the --format argument (as well
                     as the CONFIGURATION section of the manpage) for further information.

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              prefix Prepend <prefix> to every filename in the archive. If unspecified, the  name
                     of  the  directory  at  the  top level of the repository will be used as the
                     prefix (e.g. if cwd is set to /foo/bar/baz, the prefix will be baz, and  the
                     resulting archive will contain a top-level directory by that name).

                     NOTE:
                        The  default  behavior  if  the  --prefix  option  for git archive is not
                        specified is to not prepend a prefix, so Salt's behavior differs slightly
                        from git archive in this respect. Use prefix='' to create an archive with
                        no prefix.

                     Changed in version 2015.8.0: The behavior of this argument has been  changed
                     slightly.  As of this version, it is necessary to include the trailing slash
                     when specifying a prefix, if the prefix is intended to  create  a  top-level
                     directory.

              git_opts
                     Any  additional  options  to  add  to  git  command  itself (not the archive
                     subcommand), in a single string. This is useful for passing -c  to  run  git
                     with temporary changes to the git configuration.

                     the user under which the minion is running.

              password

              Interface to git-branch(1)

              cwd    The path to the git checkout

              name   Name of the branch on which to operate. If not specified, the current branch
                     will be assumed.

              opts   Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

                     NOTE:
                        To  create  a branch based on something other than HEAD, pass the name of
                        the revision as opts. If the revision is in the format remotename/branch,
                        then this will also set the remote tracking branch.

                        Additionally,  on  the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it
                        is necessary to precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to

              output_encoding
                     Use  this  option to specify which encoding to use to decode the output from
                     any git commands which are run. This should not be needed in most cases.

                     NOTE:
                        This should only be needed if the files in the  repository  were  created
                        with  filenames  using  an  encoding  other  than UTF-8 to handle Unicode

       filename=None, ignore_retcode=False, output_encoding=None)
              Interface to git-commit(1)

              cwd    The path to the git checkout

              message
                     Commit message

              opts   Any  additional  options  to  add  to  the command line, in a single string.
                     These opts will be added to the end of the git command being run.

                     NOTE:
                        On the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to
                        precede  them  with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to avoid causing
                        errors with Salt's own argument parsing.

                        The -m option should not be passed here, as the commit  message  will  be
                        defined by the message argument.

              git_opts
                     Any  additional  options  to  add  to  git  command  itself  (not the commit
                     subcommand), in a single string. This is useful for passing -c  to  run  git
                     with temporary changes to the git configuration.

                     NOTE:
                        This should only be needed if the files in the  repository  were  created

              New in version 2015.8.0.

              Interface to git-merge-base(1).

              cwd    The path to the git checkout

              refs   Any  refs/commits  to  check  for  a  merge  base.  Can  be  passed   as   a
                     comma-separated list or a Python list.

              all    False  Return a list of all matching merge bases. Not compatible with any of
                     the below options except for octopus.

              octopus
                     False If True, then this function will determine the best  common  ancestors
                     of all specified commits, in preparation for an n-way merge.  See here for a
                     description of how these bases are determined.

                     Set all to True with  this  option  to  return  all  computed  merge  bases,
                     otherwise only the "best" will be returned.

              is_ancestor
                     False  If  True,  then instead of returning the merge base, return a boolean
                     telling whether or not the first commit is an ancestor of the second commit.

                     NOTE:
                        This option requires two commits to be passed.

                     Changed in version 2015.8.2: Works  properly  in  git  versions  older  than
                     1.8.0, where the --is-ancestor CLI option is not present.

              independent
                     False  If True, this function will return the IDs of the refs/commits passed
                     which cannot be reached by another commit.

              fork_point
                     If passed, then this function  will  return  the  commit  where  the  commit
                     diverged  from  the  ref specified by fork_point. If no fork point is found,
                     None is returned.

                     NOTE:
                        At most one  commit  is  permitted  to  be  passed  if  a  fork_point  is
                        specified. If no commits are passed, then HEAD is assumed.

              opts   Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

                     NOTE:
                        On the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a dash, it is necessary to
                        precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to  avoid  causing
                        errors with Salt's own argument parsing.

                        This option should not be necessary unless new CLI arguments are added to
                        git-merge-base(1) and are not yet supported in Salt.

              git_opts
                     Any additional options to add to git  command  itself  (not  the  merge-base
                     subcommand),  in  a  single string. This is useful for passing -c to run git
                     with temporary changes to the git configuration.

                     any git commands which are run. This should not be needed in most cases.

                     NOTE:
                        This  should  only  be needed if the files in the repository were created

                     NOTE:
                        This argument is ignored when either -d or --delete  is  present  in  the
                        opts passed to this function.

              message
                     Optional message to include with the tag. If provided, an annotated tag will
                     be created.

              opts   Any additional options to add to the command line, in a single string

                     NOTE:
                        Additionally, on the Salt CLI, if the opts are preceded with a  dash,  it
                        is necessary to precede them with opts= (as in the CLI examples below) to
                        avoid causing errors with Salt's own argument parsing.

              git_opts
                     Any additional options to add  to  git  command  itself  (not  the  worktree
                     subcommand),  in  a  single string. This is useful for passing -c to run git

              password
                     Windows  only. Required when specifying user. This parameter will be ignored
                     on non-Windows platforms.

              ignore_retcode
                     False If True, do not log an error to the minion  log  if  the  git  command
                     returns a nonzero exit status.

              output_encoding

              Interface to git-worktree(1), adds a worktree

              cwd    The path to the git checkout

              worktree_path
                     Path to the new worktree. Can be either absolute, or relative to cwd.

              branch Name of new branch to create. If omitted, will be set to the basename of the
                     worktree_path.  For  example,  if  the  worktree_path  is /foo/bar/baz, then
                     branch will be baz.

              ref    Name of the ref on which to base the new worktree. If omitted, then HEAD  is
                     use,  and  a  new  branch  will  be  created,  named for the basename of the
                     worktree_path. For example, if the worktree_path is /foo/bar/baz then a  new
                     branch baz will be created, and pointed at HEAD.

              reset_branch
                     False If False, then git-worktree(1) will fail to create the worktree if the
                     targeted branch already exists. Set this  argument  to  True  to  reset  the
                     targeted  branch  to  point at ref, and checkout the newly-reset branch into
                     the new worktree.

              force  False By default, git-worktree(1) will not permit  the  same  branch  to  be
                     checked out in more than one worktree. Set this argument to True to override
                     this.

                        unnecessary unless new CLI arguments are added to git-worktree(1) and are
                        not yet supported in Salt.

              GLUSTER direct CLI example (to show what salt is sending to gluster):
                 $ gluster peer probe ftp2

              GLUSTER CLI 3.4.4 return example (so we know what we are parsing):
                     #if  the  "peer"  is  the  local host: peer probe: success: on localhost not
                     needed

       encrypt and sign plus encrypt text and files.

       New in version 2015.5.0.

       NOTE:
          The python-gnupg library and gpg binary are required to be installed.

       salt.modules.gpg.create_key(key_type='RSA',    key_length=1024,   name_real='Autogenerated
       Key',   name_comment='Generated   by   SaltStack',   name_email=None,    subkey_type=None,
       subkey_length=None, expire_date=None, use_passphrase=False, user=None, gnupghome=None)
              Create a key in the GPG keychain

              NOTE:
                 GPG  key  generation  requires a lot of entropy and randomness.  Difficult to do
                 over a remote connection, consider having another  process  available  which  is
                 generating  randomness  for  the  machine.  Also especially difficult on virtual
                 machines, consider the rng-tools package.

                 The create_key process takes awhile so increasing the timeout may be  necessary,
                 e.g. -t 15.

              key_type
                     The  type  of  the  primary  key to generate. It must be capable of signing.

              name_comment
                     A comment to attach to the user id.

              name_email
                     An email address for the user.

              subkey_type

              subkey_length
                     The length of the secondary key in bits.

              expire_date
                     The expiration date for the primary and any secondary key.  You can  specify
                     an ISO date, A number of days/weeks/months/years, an epoch value, or 0 for a
                     non-expiring key.

              use_passphrase

   salt.modules.grains
       Return/control aspects of the grains data

       Grains set or altered with this module are stored in the 'grains' file on the minions.  By
       default, this file is located at: /etc/salt/grains

       NOTE:
          This does NOT override any grains set in the minion config file.

       salt.modules.grains.append(key, val, convert=False, delimiter=':')
              New in version 0.17.0.

              Append a value to a list in the grains config file. If the grain doesn't exist, the
              grain key is added and the value is appended to the new grain as a list item.

              key    The grain key to be appended to

              val    The value to append to the grain key

              convert
                     If convert is True, convert non-list contents into a list.   If  convert  is
                     False  and the grain contains non-list contents, an error is given. Defaults
                     to False.

              delimiter
                     The key can be a  nested  dict  key.  Use  this  parameter  to  specify  the
                     delimiter you use, instead of the default :.  You can now append values to a
                     list in nested dictionary grains. If the list doesn't exist at  this  level,
                     it will be created.

                     New in version 2014.7.6.

              available return the passed default. The default return is an empty string.

              The value can also represent a value in a nested dict using a ":" delimiter for the
              dict. This means that if a dict in grains looks like this:

                 {'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

              To retrieve the value associated with the apache key in the pkg dict this  key  can
              be passed:

                 pkg:apache

              Parametersdelimiter --

                       Specify an alternate delimiter to use when traversing a nested dict.  This
                       is useful for when the desired key contains a colon. See CLI example below
                       for usage.

                       New in version 2014.7.0.

                     • ordered --

                       Outputs an ordered dict if applicable (default: True)

                       New in version 2016.11.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' grains.get pkg:apache
                 salt '*' grains.get abc::def|ghi delimiter='|'

       salt.modules.grains.filter_by(lookup_dict,          grain='os_family',         merge=None,
       default='default', base=None)
              New in version 0.17.0.

              Look up the given grain in a given dictionary for the current  OS  and  return  the
              result

              Although  this  may  occasionally  be useful at the CLI, the primary intent of this
              function is for use in Jinja to make short  work  of  creating  lookup  tables  for
              OS-specific data. For example:

                 {% set apache = salt['grains.filter_by']({
                     'Debian': {'pkg': 'apache2', 'srv': 'apache2'},
                     'RedHat': {'pkg': 'httpd', 'srv': 'httpd'},
                 }, default='Debian') %}

                 myapache:
                   pkg.installed:
                     - name: {{ apache.pkg }}
                   service.running:
                     - name: {{ apache.srv }}

              Values in the lookup table may be overridden by values in Pillar. An example Pillar
              to override values in the example above could be as follows:

                 apache:
                   lookup:
                     pkg: apache_13
                     srv: apache

              The call to filter_by() would be modified as  follows  to  reference  those  Pillar
              values:

                 {% set apache = salt['grains.filter_by']({
                     ...
                 }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('apache:lookup')) %}

              Parameterslookup_dict --

                       A  dictionary,  keyed by a grain, containing a value or values relevant to
                       systems matching that grain. For example, a key could be the grain for  an
                       OS and the value could the name of a package on that particular OS.

                       Changed  in  version  2016.11.0:  The  dictionary  key could be a globbing
                       pattern. The function will  return  the  corresponding  lookup_dict  value
                       where grain value matches the pattern. For example:

                          # this will render 'got some salt' if Minion ID begins from 'salt'
                          salt '*' grains.filter_by '{salt*: got some salt, default: salt is not here}' id

                     • grain --

                       The  name  of  a  grain  to  match  with  the current system's grains. For
                       example, the value of the "os_family" grain for the current  system  could
                       be used to pull values from the lookup_dict dictionary.

                       Changed  in  version  2016.11.0:  The  grain  value  could  be a list. The
                       function will return the lookup_dict value for a first found item  in  the
                       list matching one of the lookup_dict keys.

                     • merge  --  A  dictionary  to merge with the results of the grain selection
                       from lookup_dict. This  allows  Pillar  to  override  the  values  in  the
                       lookup_dict. This could be useful, for example, to override the values for
                       non-standard package names such as when using a different  Python  version
                       from  the  default Python version provided by the OS (e.g., python26-mysql
                       instead of python-mysql).

                     • default --

                       default lookup_dict's key used if the grain does  not  exists  or  if  the
                       grain  value  has  no  match  on lookup_dict.  If unspecified the value is
                       "default".

                       New in version 2014.1.0.

                     • base --

                       A lookup_dict key to  use  for  a  base  dictionary.   The  grain-selected
                       lookup_dict  is  merged over this and then finally the merge dictionary is
                       merged.  This allows common values for each case to be  collected  in  the
                       base  and  overridden  by  the  grain  selection  dictionary and the merge
                       dictionary.  Default is unset.

                       New in version 2015.5.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' grains.filter_by '{Debian: Debheads rule, RedHat: I love my hat}'
                 # this one will render {D: {E: I, G: H}, J: K}
                 salt '*' grains.filter_by '{A: B, C: {D: {E: F, G: H}}}' 'xxx' '{D: {E: I}, J: K}' 'C'
                 # next one renders {A: {B: G}, D: J}
                 salt '*' grains.filter_by '{default: {A: {B: C}, D: E}, F: {A: {B: G}}, H: {D: I}}' 'xxx' '{D: J}' 'F' 'default'
                 # next same as above when default='H' instead of 'F' renders {A: {B: C}, D: J}

       salt.modules.grains.get(key, default='', delimiter=':', ordered=True)
              Attempt to retrieve the named  value  from  grains,  if  the  named  value  is  not
              available return the passed default. The default return is an empty string.

              The value can also represent a value in a nested dict using a ":" delimiter for the
              dict. This means that if a dict in grains looks like this:

                 {'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

              be passed:

                 pkg:apache

              Parametersdelimiter --

                       Specify an alternate delimiter to use when traversing a nested dict.  This
                       is useful for when the desired key contains a colon. See CLI example below

       chars='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)')
              Perform a one-time generation of a hash and write it to the local grains.  If  that
              grain has already been set return the value instead.

              This  is  useful  for  generating  passwords  or keys that are specific to a single
              minion that don't need to be stored somewhere centrally.

              State Example:

                 some_mysql_user:
                   mysql_user:
                     - present

       salt.modules.grains.has_value(key)
              Determine whether a key exists in the grains dictionary.

              Given a grains dictionary that contains the following structure:

                 {'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

              One would determine if the apache key in the pkg dict exists by:

                 pkg:apache

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' grains.has_value pkg:apache

       salt.modules.grains.item(*args, **kwargs)
              Return one or more grains

              Sanitized CLI Example:

                 salt '*' grains.item host sanitize=True

       salt.modules.grains.items(sanitize=False)
              Return all of the minion's grains

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' grains.items

              Sanitized CLI Example:

              Remove a value from a list in the grains config file

              key    The grain key to remove.

              val    The value to remove.

              delimiter
                     The  key  can  be  a  nested  dict  key.  Use  this parameter to specify the
                     delimiter you use, instead of the default :.  You can now append values to a
                     list  in  nested dictionary grains. If the list doesn't exist at this level,
                     it will be created.

                     New in version 2015.8.2.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' grains.remove key val

       salt.modules.grains.set(key, val='', force=False, destructive=False, delimiter=':')
              Set a key to an arbitrary value. It is used like setval but works with nested keys.

              This function is conservative. It will only overwrite an entry if its value and the
              given  one  are  not  a  list  or  a  dict.  The  force  parameter is used to allow
              overwriting in all cases.

              Parametersforce -- Force writing over existing entry if given or existing values are
                       list or dict. Defaults to False.

                     • destructive  -- If an operation results in a key being removed, delete the
                       key, too. Defaults to False.

                     • delimiter -- Specify an alternate  delimiter  to  use  when  traversing  a
                       nested dict, the default being :

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' grains.set 'apps:myApp:port' 2209
                 salt '*' grains.set 'apps:myApp' '{port: 2209}'

       salt.modules.grains.setval(key, val, destructive=False, refresh_pillar=True)

                     If  an  operation  results  in  a  key  being  removed, delete the key, too.
                     Defaults to False.

              refresh_pillar
                     Whether pillar will be refreshed.  Defaults to True.

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.haproxyconn.set_state(name, backend, state, socket='/var/run/haproxy.sock')
              Force a server's administrative state to a new state. This can be useful to disable
              load balancing and/or any traffic to a server. Setting the state  to  "ready"  puts
              the server in normal mode, and the command is the equivalent of the "enable server"
              command. Setting the state to "maint" disables any traffic to the server as well as
              any  health checks. This is the equivalent of the "disable server" command. Setting
              the mode to "drain" only removes the server from load balancing but still allows it
              to  be  checked and to accept new persistent connections. Changes are propagated to
              tracking servers if any.

       configuration
              This  module  is  not  usable  until  the  user, password, tenant, and auth URL are
              specified either in a pillar or in the minion's config file.  For example:

                 keystone.user: admin
                 keystone.password: verybadpass
                 keystone.tenant: admin

                 # Optional
                 keystone.region_name: 'RegionOne'

              If configuration for multiple OpenStack accounts is required, they can be set up as
              different configuration profiles: For example:

                 openstack1:

                 openstack2:
                   keystone.user: admin
                   keystone.password: verybadpass

              With  this  configuration  in  place,  any  of the heat functions can make use of a
              configuration profile by declaring it explicitly.  For example:

   salt.modules.highstate_doc
       This module renders highstate configuration into a more human readable format.

       How it works:

       highstate  or  lowstate   data   is   parsed   with   a   processor   this   defaults   to
       highstate_doc.processor_markdown.   The  processed data is passed to a jinja template that
       builds up the document content.

       configuration: Pillar

          # the following defaults can be overridden
          highstate_doc.config:

              # list of regex of state names to ignore in `highstate_doc.process_lowstates`
              filter_id_regex:
                  - '.*!doc_skip$'

              # list of regex of state functions to ignore in `highstate_doc.process_lowstates`
              filter_state_function_regex:
                  - 'file.accumulated'

              # dict of regex to replace text after `highstate_doc.render`. (remove passwords)
              text_replace_regex:
                  'password:.*^': '[PASSWORD]'

              # limit size of files that can be included in doc (10000 bytes)
              max_render_file_size: 10000

              # advanced option to set a custom lowstate processor
              processor: highstate_doc.processor_markdown

       State example

          {{sls}} note:
              highstate_doc.note:
                  - name: example
                  - order: 0
                  - contents: |
                      example `highstate_doc.note`
                      ------------------
                      This state does not do anything to the system! It is only used by a `processor`
                      you can use `requisites` and `order` to move your docs around the rendered file.

          {{sls}} a file we don't want in the doc !doc_skip:
              file.managed:
                  - name: /root/passwords
                  - contents: 'password: sadefgq34y45h56q'
                  # also could use `highstate_doc.config: text_replace_regex` to replace
                  # password string. `password:.*^': '[PASSWORD]`

       To create the help document build a State that uses highstate_doc.render.  For performance
       it's advised to not included this state in your top.sls file.

          # example `salt://makereadme.sls`
          make helpfile:
              file.managed:
                  - name: /root/README.md
                  - contents: {{salt.highstate_doc.render()|json}}
                  - show_diff: {{opts['test']}}
                  - mode: '0640'
                  - order: last

       Run our makereadme.sls state to create /root/README.md.

          # first ensure `highstate` return without errors or changes
          salt-call state.highstate
          salt-call state.apply makereadme
          # or if you don't want the extra `make helpfile` state
          salt-call --out=newline_values_only salt.highstate_doc.render > /root/README.md ; chmod 0600 /root/README.md

   Creating a document collection
       From the master we can run the following script to creates a collection of all your minion
       documents.

          salt '*' state.apply makereadme

          #!/bin/python
          import os
          import salt.client
          s = salt.client.LocalClient()
          # NOTE: because of issues with `cp.push` use `highstate_doc.read_file`
          o = s.cmd('*', 'highstate_doc.read_file', ['/root/README.md'])
          for m in o:
              d = o.get(m)
              if d and not d.endswith('is not available.'):
                  # mkdir m
                  #directory = os.path.dirname(file_path)
                  if not os.path.exists(m):
                      os.makedirs(m)
                  with open(m + '/README.md','wb') as f:
                      f.write(d)
                  print('ADDED: ' + m + '/README.md')

       Once the master has a collection of all the README files.  You can use  pandoc  to  create
       HTML versions of the markdown.

          # process all the readme.md files to readme.html
          if which pandoc; then echo "Found pandoc"; else echo "** Missing pandoc"; exit 1; fi
          if which gs; then echo "Found gs"; else echo "** Missing gs(ghostscript)"; exit 1; fi
          readme_files=$(find $dest -type f -path "*/README.md" -print)
          for f in $readme_files ; do
              ff=${f#$dest/}
              minion=${ff%%/*}
              echo "process: $dest/${minion}/$(basename $f)"
              cat $dest/${minion}/$(basename $f) |             pandoc --standalone --from markdown_github --to html             --include-in-header $dest/style.html             > $dest/${minion}/$(basename $f).html
          done

       It is also nice to put the help files in source control.
          # git init git add -A git commit -am 'updated docs' git push -f

   Other hints
       If you wish to customize the document format:

          # you could also create a new `processor` for perhaps reStructuredText
          # highstate_doc.config:
          #     processor: doc_custom.processor_rst

          # example `salt://makereadme.jinja`

       Module to provide InfluxDB compatibility to Salt (compatible with InfluxDB version 0.9+)

       depends

              • influxdb Python module (>= 3.0.0)

       configuration
              This module accepts connection configuration details either  as  parameters  or  as
              configuration settings in /etc/salt/minion on the relevant minions:

                 influxdb.host: 'localhost'
                 influxdb.port: 8086
                 influxdb.user: 'root'
                 influxdb.password: 'root'

              This  data  can also be passed into pillar. Options passed into opts will overwrite
              options passed into pillar.

              Most functions in this module allow you to override or provide some or all of these
              settings via keyword arguments:

                 salt '*' influxdb.foo_function influxdb_user='influxadmin' influxdb_password='s3cr1t'

              would override user and password while still using the defaults for host and port.

              Get current boot device override information.

              Provides the current requested boot device.  Be aware that  not  all  IPMI  devices
              support  this.   Even  in BMCs that claim to, occasionally the BIOS or UEFI fail to
              honor it. This is usually only applicable to the next reboot.

                suggests that if not set, the system should BIOS boot and offers no "don't  care"
                option.   In practice, this flag not being set does not preclude UEFI boot on any

                User Level Authentication Enable/Disable

                • True   =  enable  User  Level Authentication. All User Level commands are to be
                  authenticated per the Authentication Type that was negotiated when the  session
                  was activated.

                • False  =  disable  User  Level  Authentication. Allow User Level commands to be
                  executed without being authenticated.  If the  option  to  disable  User  Level
                  Command   authentication   is  accepted,  the  BMC  will  accept  packets  with
                  Authentication Type set to None if  they  contain  user  level  commands.   For
                  outgoing  packets,  the BMC returns responses with the same Authentication Type

                  down state or in BIOS prior to start of boot.

                • always   = channel always available regardless of system mode.  BIOS  typically
                  dedicates the serial connection to the BMC.

                • shared    = same as always available, but BIOS typically leaves the serial port
                  available for software use.

              • privilege_update_mode --

                Channel Privilege Level Limit. This value sets the maximum privilege  level  that
                can be accepted on the specified channel.

   Configuration Options
       The  following  options can be set in the minion config, grains, pillar, or master config.
       The configuration is read using config.get.

       • iptables.save_filters: List of REGEX strings to FILTER OUT matching lines

         This is useful for filtering out chains, rules, etc that you do  not  wish  to  persist,
         such as ephemeral Docker rules.

         The default is to not filter out anything.

            iptables.save_filters:
              - "-j CATTLE_PREROUTING"
              - "-j DOCKER"
              - "-A POSTROUTING"
              - "-A CATTLE_POSTROUTING"
              - "-A FORWARD"

       salt.modules.iptables.append(table='filter', chain=None, rule=None, family='ipv4')
              Append a rule to the specified table/chain.

              This function accepts a rule in a standard iptables command format,
                     starting  with  the chain. Trying to force users to adapt to a new method of
                     creating rules would be irritating at best, and we  already  have  a  parser
                     that can handle it.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' iptables.append filter INPUT \
                     rule='-m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT'

                 IPv6:
                 salt '*' iptables.append filter INPUT \
                     rule='-m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT' \
                     family=ipv6

       salt.modules.iptables.build_rule(table='filter',  chain=None,  command=None,  position='',
       full=None, family='ipv4', **kwargs)
              Build a well-formatted iptables rule based on kwargs. A table  and  chain  are  not
              required, unless full is True.

              If  full  is  True,  then  table,  chain  and command are required.  command may be
              specified as either a short option ('I') or a long  option  (--insert).  This  will
              return the iptables command, exactly as it would be used from the command line.

              If a position is required (as with -I or -D), it may be specified as position. This
              will only be useful if full is True.

              If state is passed, it will be ignored, use connstate.  If connstate is passed  in,
              it will automatically be changed to state.

              To pass in jump options that doesn't take arguments, pass in an empty string.

              NOTE:
                 Whereas  iptables will accept -p, --proto[c[o[l]]] as synonyms of --protocol, if
                 --proto appears in an iptables command after the appearance of -m policy, it  is
                 interpreted   as   the   --proto   option  of  the  policy  extension  (see  the
                 iptables-extensions(8) man page).

   salt.modules.jboss7_cli
       Module for low-level interaction with JbossAS7 through CLI.

       This module exposes two ways of interaction with  the  CLI,  either  through  commands  or
       operations.

       NOTE:
          Following  JBoss documentation (https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/CommandLineInterface):
          "Operations are considered  a  low  level  but  comprehensive  way  to  manage  the  AS
          controller, i.e. if it can't be done with operations it can't be done in any other way.
          Commands, on the other hand, are more user-friendly in syntax, although  most  of  them
          still  translate  into  operation  requests  and some of them even into a few composite
          operation requests, i.e. commands also simplify some  management  operations  from  the
          user's point of view."

       The difference between calling a command or operation is in handling the result.  Commands
       return a zero return code if operation is successful or return non-zero  return  code  and
       print an error to standard output in plain text, in case of an error.

       Operations  return  a json-like structure, that contain more information about the result.
       In case of a failure, they also return a specific return  code.  This  module  parses  the
       output  from  the  operations  and  returns  it as a dictionary so that an execution of an
       operation can then be verified against specific errors.

       In order to run each function, jboss_config dictionary with the following properties  must
       be passed:

              • cli_path:      the     path     to     jboss-cli     script,     for     example:
                '/opt/jboss/jboss-7.0/bin/jboss-cli.sh'

              • controller: the IP address and port of controller, for example: 10.11.12.13:9999

              • cli_user: username to connect to jboss administration console if necessary

              • cli_password: password to connect to jboss administration console if necessary

       Example:

          jboss_config:
             cli_path: '/opt/jboss/jboss-7.0/bin/jboss-cli.sh'
             controller: 10.11.12.13:9999
             cli_user: 'jbossadm'
             cli_password: 'jbossadm'

       salt.modules.jboss7_cli.run_command(jboss_config, command, fail_on_error=True)
              Execute a command against jboss instance through the CLI interface.

              jboss_config

              fail_on_error (default=True)
                     Is true, raise  CommandExecutionError  exception  if  execution  fails.   If
                     false, 'success' property of the returned dictionary is set to False

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' jboss7_cli.run_command '{"cli_path": "integration.modules.sysmod.SysModuleTest.test_valid_docs", "controller": "10.11.12.13:9999", "cli_user": "jbossadm", "cli_password": "jbossadm"}' my_command

       salt.modules.jboss7_cli.run_operation(jboss_config,     operation,     fail_on_error=True,
       retries=1)
              Execute an operation against jboss instance through the CLI interface.

              operation
                     An operation to execute against jboss instance

              fail_on_error (default=True)
                     Is true, raise  CommandExecutionError  exception  if  execution  fails.   If
                     false, 'success' property of the returned dictionary is set to False

              retries:
                     Number  of  retries  in  case  of  "JBAS012144: Could not connect to remote"

                     specified,  the  commit  will be rolled back in the specified amount of time
                     unless the commit is confirmed.

              sync   False When True, on dual control plane systems, requests that the  candidate
                     configuration  on  one  control  plane be copied to the other control plane,
                     checked for correct syntax, and committed on both Routing Engines.

              force_sync
                     False When  True,  on  dual  control  plane  systems,  force  the  candidate

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'device_name' junos.diff d_id=3

              NOTE: Because of historical reasons and the internals of the Salt  state  compiler,
              there  are  three possible sources of the rollback ID--the positional argument, and
              the id and d_id kwargs.  The precedence of the arguments are  id  (positional),  id
              (kwarg),  d_id  (kwarg).   In  other  words,  if  all  three  are  passed, only the
              positional argument will be used.  A warning is logged if more than one is passed.

       salt.modules.junos.dir_copy(source, dest, force=False, **kwargs)
              Copy a directory and recursively its contents from source to dest.

              NOTE:

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'device_name' junos.dir_copy /etc/salt/pki re1:/

              This will take the pki directory, its absolute path and copy it and its contents to
              routing  engine  1  root directory. The result will be re1:/etc/salt/pki/<files and
              dirs in /etc/salt/pki.

       salt.modules.junos.facts()
              Displays the facts gathered during the connection.  These facts are also stored  in
              Salt grains.

       salt.modules.junos.facts_refresh()
              Reload  the  facts  dictionary  from the device. Usually only needed if, the device
              configuration is changed by some other actor.  This function will also refresh  the
              facts stored in the salt grains.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'device_name' junos.facts_refresh

       salt.modules.junos.file_compare(file1, file2, **kwargs)
              Compare two files and return a dictionary indicating if they are different.

                     configuration file. Sets action to override

                     NOTE:
                        This option cannot be used if format is "set".

              replace
                     False  Specify  whether  the configuration file uses replace: statements. If
                     True, only those statements under the replace tag will be changed.

              merge  False If set to True will set the load-config action to merge.  the  default
                     load-config action is 'replace' for xml/json/text config

                     unless the commit is confirmed.

              diffs_file
                     Path  to  the  file  where the diff (difference in old configuration and the
                     committed configuration) will be stored. Note that the file will  be  stored
                     on the proxy minion. To push the files to the master use:

                     filesystem,  then  the  image  is  copied  from  the local filesystem to the
                     :remote_path: directory on the target Junos device. The default is /var/tmp.
                     If  the  value  of  :path:  or  is a URL, then the value of :remote_path: is
                     unused.

              dev_timeout
                     1800 The NETCONF RPC timeout (in seconds). This  argument  was  added  since
                     most  of  the time the "package add" RPC takes a significant amount of time.
                     So this :timeout: value will be used in the context of the  SW  installation
                     process.  Defaults to 30 minutes (30*60=1800 seconds)

              timeout
                     1800 Alias to dev_timeout for backward compatibility

              bool nssu: False
                     When  True allows nonstop software upgrade (NSSU) enables you to upgrade the
                     software running on a Juniper  Networks  EX  Series  Virtual  Chassis  or  a
                     Juniper  Networks  EX  Series Ethernet Switch with redundant Routing Engines
                     with a single command and minimal disruption to network traffic.

              bool all_re: True
                     When True (default), executes the software install on all Routing Engines of
                     the  Junos  device.  When  False,  execute  the software install only on the
                     current Routing Engine.

                     False  Specify  whether  the configuration file uses replace: statements. If
                     True, only those statements under the replace tag will be changed.

              merge  False If set to True will set the load-config action to merge.  the  default
                     load-config action is 'replace' for xml/json/text config

              update False   Compare  a  complete  loaded  configuration  against  the  candidate
                     configuration. For each hierarchy level  or  configuration  object  that  is
                     different in the two configurations, the version in the loaded configuration
                     replaces the version in the candidate configuration. When the  configuration
                     is  later  committed, only system processes that are affected by the changed
                     configuration elements parse the new configuration. This action is supported
                     from PyEZ 2.1.

              format Determines the format of the contents

              template_vars
                     Variables  to  be  passed into the template processing engine in addition to
                     those present in pillar, the minion configuration,  grains,  etc.   You  may
                     reference these variables in your template like so:

                        {{ template_vars["var_name"] }}

              CLI Examples:

                 salt 'device_name' junos.load 'salt://production/network/routers/config.set'

                 salt 'device_name' junos.load 'salt://templates/replace_config.conf' replace=True

                 salt 'device_name' junos.load 'salt://my_new_configuration.conf' overwrite=True

                 salt 'device_name' junos.load 'salt://syslog_template.conf' template_vars='{"syslog_host": "10.180.222.7"}'

       salt.modules.junos.lock()
              Attempts  an  exclusive lock on the candidate configuration. This is a non-blocking
              call.

              NOTE:
                 When locking, it is important to remember to call junos.unlock once finished. If
                 locking  during  orchestration,  remember to include a step in the orchestration
                 job to unlock.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'device_name' junos.lock

              confirm
                     Provide  time  in  minutes  for  commit  confirmation.  If  this  option  is
                     specified, the commit will be rolled back in the specified  amount  of  time
                     unless the commit is confirmed.

              diffs_file
                     Path  to  the  file  where the diff (difference in old configuration and the
                     committed configuration) will be stored. Note that the file will  be  stored
                     on the proxy minion. To push the files to the master use cp.push.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'device_name' junos.rollback 10

              NOTE:  Because  of historical reasons and the internals of the Salt state compiler,
              there are three possible sources of the rollback ID--the positional  argument,  and
              the  id  and  d_id kwargs.  The precedence of the arguments are id (positional), id
              (kwarg), d_id (kwarg).   In  other  words,  if  all  three  are  passed,  only  the
              positional argument will be used.  A warning is logged if more than one is passed.

       salt.modules.junos.routing_engine(**kwargs)

       salt.modules.junos.shutdown(**kwargs)
              Shut down (power off) or reboot a  device  running  Junos  OS.  This  includes  all
              Routing Engines in a Virtual Chassis or a dual Routing Engine system.

                 NOTE:
                     One of shutdown or reboot must be set to True or no action will be taken.

              shutdown
                     False Set this to True if you want to shutdown the machine. This is a safety
                     mechanism so that the user does not accidentally shutdown the junos device.

              reboot False If True, reboot instead of shutting down

              at     Used when rebooting, to specify the date and time  the  reboot  should  take
                     place. The value of this option must match the JunOS CLI reboot syntax.

       • Add replace of K8S objects (pod, rc, service, ...)

       • Add deletion of K8S objects (pod, rc, service, ...)

       • Add rolling update

       • Add (auto)scalling

       salt.modules.k8s.create_namespace(name, apiserver_url=None)
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              Create kubernetes namespace from the name, similar to the  functionality  added  to
              kubectl since v.1.2.0: .. code-block:: bash
                 kubectl create namespaces namespace-name

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' k8s.create_namespace namespace_name

                 salt '*' k8s.create_namespace namespace_name http://kube-master.cluster.local

       salt.modules.k8s.create_secret(namespace,  name, sources, apiserver_url=None, force=False,
       update=False, saltenv='base')
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              Create k8s secrets in the defined namespace from the list of files

                 salt '*' k8s.create_secret namespace_name secret_name sources

                 salt '*' k8s.create_secret namespace_name secret_name sources
                 http://kube-master.cluster.local

              sources are either dictionary of {name:  path,  name1:  path}  pairs  or  array  of
              strings defining paths.

              Example of paths array:

              ['/full/path/filename',                               "file:///full/path/filename",
              "salt://secret/storage/file.txt",
              "http://user:password@securesite.com/secret-file.json"]

              Example of dictionaries:

              {"nameit": '/full/path/fiename', name2: "salt://secret/storage/file.txt"}

              optional parameters accepted:

              update=[false]  default  value  is  false  if  set  to false, and secret is already
              present on the cluster - warning will be returned and no changes to the secret will
              be  done.   In  case it is set to "true" and secret is present but data is differ -
              secret will be updated.

              force=[true] default value is true if the to False, secret will not be  created  in
              case  one  of  the  files  is  not valid kubernetes secret. e.g. capital letters in
              secret name or _ in case force is set to True, wrong  files  will  be  skipped  but
              secret will be created any way.

              saltenv=['base']  default  value  is  base  in  case  'salt://'  path is used, this
              parameter can change the visibility of files

       salt.modules.k8s.delete_secret(namespace, name, apiserver_url=None, force=True)
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              sources  are  either  dictionary  of  {name:  path,  name1: path} pairs or array of
              strings defining paths.

              Example of paths array:

              ['/full/path/filename',                               "file:///full/path/filename",
              "salt://secret/storage/file.txt",
              "http://user:password@securesite.com/secret-file.json"]

              Example of dictionaries:

              {"nameit": '/full/path/fiename', name2: "salt://secret/storage/file.txt"}

              optional parameters accepted:

              force=[true] default value is true if the to False, secret will not be  created  in
              case  one  of  the  files  is  not valid kubernetes secret. e.g. capital letters in
              secret name or _ in case force is set to True, wrong  files  will  be  skipped  but
              secret will be created any way.

              saltenv=['base']  default  value  is  base  in  case  'salt://'  path is used, this
              parameter can change the visibility of files

       optdepends

              • keystoneclient Python adapter

       configuration
              This module is not usable until the following are specified either in a  pillar  or
              in the minion's config file:

                 keystone.user: admin
                 keystone.password: verybadpass
                 keystone.tenant: admin
                 keystone.tenant_id: f80919baedab48ec8931f200c65a50df
                 keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'
                 keystone.verify_ssl: True

              OR (for token based authentication)

                 keystone.token: 'ADMIN'
                 keystone.endpoint: 'http://127.0.0.1:35357/v2.0'

              If configuration for multiple openstack accounts is required, they can be set up as
              different configuration profiles. For example:

                 openstack1:
                   keystone.user: admin
                   keystone.password: verybadpass
                   keystone.tenant: admin
                   keystone.tenant_id: f80919baedab48ec8931f200c65a50df
                   keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'
                   keystone.verify_ssl: True

                 openstack2:
                   keystone.user: admin
                   keystone.password: verybadpass
                   keystone.tenant: admin
                   keystone.tenant_id: f80919baedab48ec8931f200c65a50df
                   keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.2:5000/v2.0/'
                   keystone.verify_ssl: True

              With this configuration in place, any of the keystone functions can make use  of  a
              configuration profile by declaring it explicitly.  For example:

                 salt '*' keystone.tenant_list profile=openstack1

       salt.modules.keystone.api_version(profile=None, **connection_args)
              Returns the API version derived from endpoint's response.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' keystone.api_version

       salt.modules.keystone.auth(profile=None, **connection_args)
              Set  up  keystone  credentials.  Only  intended  to be used within Keystone-enabled
              modules.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' keystone.auth

       salt.modules.keystone.ec2_credentials_create(user_id=None,   name=None,    tenant_id=None,
       tenant=None, profile=None, **connection_args)
              Create EC2-compatible credentials for user per tenant

              CLI Examples:

   salt.modules.ldap3
   Query and modify an LDAP database (alternative interface)
       New in version 2016.3.0.

       This is an alternative to the ldap interface provided by the ldapmod execution module.

       dependsldap Python module

       exception salt.modules.ldap3.LDAPError(message, cause=None)
              Base class of all LDAP exceptions raised by backends.

              This is only used for errors encountered while interacting with  the  LDAP  server;
              usage errors (e.g., invalid backend name) will have a different type.

              Variables
                     cause -- backend exception object, if applicable

       salt.modules.ldap3.add(connect_spec, dn, attributes)
              Add an entry to an LDAP database.

              Parametersconnect_spec  --  See the documentation for the connect_spec parameter for
                       connect().

                     • dn -- Distinguished name of the entry.

                     • attributes -- Non-empty dict mapping each of the new entry's attributes to
                       a non-empty iterable of values.

              Returns
                     True if successful, raises an exception otherwise.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ldap3.add "{
                     'url': 'ldaps://ldap.example.com/',
                     'bind': {
                         'method': 'simple',

                     },
                 }" "dn='dc=example,dc=com'" "attributes={'example': 'values'}"

       salt.modules.ldap3.change(connect_spec, dn, before, after)
              Modify an entry in an LDAP database.

              This  does  the  same  thing as modify(), but with a simpler interface.  Instead of
              taking a list of directives, it  takes  a  before  and  after  view  of  an  entry,
              determines  the  differences between the two, computes the directives, and executes
              them.

              Any attribute value present in  before  but  missing  in  after  is  deleted.   Any
              attribute  value  present  in  after but missing in before is added.  Any attribute
              value in the database that is not mentioned  in  either  before  or  after  is  not
              altered.   Any attribute value that is present in both before and after is ignored,
              regardless of whether that attribute value exists in the database.

              Parametersconnect_spec -- See the documentation for the connect_spec  parameter  for
                       connect().

                     • dn -- Distinguished name of the entry.

                     • before  -- The expected state of the entry before modification.  This is a
                       dict mapping each attribute name to an iterable of values.

                     • after -- The desired state of the entry after  modification.   This  is  a
                       dict mapping each attribute name to an iterable of values.

              Returns
                     True if successful, raises an exception otherwise.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ldap3.change "{

       configuration
              In order to connect to LDAP, certain configuration is required in the minion config
              on the LDAP server. The minimum configuration items that must be set are:

                 ldap.basedn: dc=acme,dc=com (example values, adjust to suit)

              If your LDAP server requires authentication then you must also set:

                 ldap.anonymous: False
                 ldap.binddn: admin
                 ldap.bindpw: password

              In addition, the following optional values may be set:

                 ldap.server: localhost (default=localhost, see warning below)
                 ldap.port: 389 (default=389, standard port)
                 ldap.tls: False (default=False, no TLS)
                 ldap.no_verify: False (default=False, verify TLS)
                 ldap.anonymous: True (default=True, bind anonymous)
                 ldap.scope: 2 (default=2, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE)
                 ldap.attrs: [saltAttr] (default=None, return all attributes)

       WARNING:
          At the moment this module only recommends connection  to  LDAP  services  listening  on
          localhost.  This is deliberate to avoid the potentially dangerous situation of multiple
          minions sending identical update commands to the same LDAP server. It's easy enough  to
          override this behavior, but badness may ensue - you have been warned.

       salt.modules.ldapmod.search(filter, dn=None, scope=None, attrs=None, **kwargs)
              Run an arbitrary LDAP query and return the results.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'ldaphost' ldap.search "filter=cn=myhost"

              Return data:

                 {'myhost': {'count': 1,
                             'results': [['cn=myhost,ou=hosts,o=acme,c=gb',
                                          {'saltKeyValue': ['ntpserver=ntp.acme.local',
                                                            'foo=myfoo'],
                                           'saltState': ['foo', 'bar']}]],
                             'time': {'human': '1.2ms', 'raw': '0.00123'}}}

              Search  and  connection options can be overridden by specifying the relevant option
              as key=value pairs, for example:

                 salt 'ldaphost' ldap.search filter=cn=myhost dn=ou=hosts,o=acme,c=gb

              makedirs : False
                 Create the parent directory on the container if it does not already exist.

                 New in version 2015.5.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'minion' lxc.copy_to /tmp/foo /root/foo
                 salt 'minion' lxc.cp /tmp/foo /root/foo

       salt.modules.lxc.cp(name, source, dest, overwrite=False, makedirs=False, path=None)
              This function is an alias of copy_to.
                 Changed  in  version  2015.8.0:  Function renamed from lxc.cp to lxc.copy_to for
                 consistency with other container types. lxc.cp will continue to  work,  however.
                 For versions 2015.2.x and earlier, use lxc.cp.

                 Copy a file or directory from the host into a container

                 name   Container name

                 source File to be copied to the container

                 path   path to the container parent default: /var/lib/lxc (system default)

                        New in version 2015.8.0.

                 dest   Destination on the container. Must be an absolute path.

                        Changed  in version 2015.5.0: If the destination is a directory, the file
                        will be copied into that directory.

                 overwrite
                        False Unless this option is set to True, then if a  file  exists  at  the
                        location specified by the dest argument, an error will be raised.

                        New in version 2015.8.0.

                 makedirs : False
                     Create the parent directory on the container if it does not already exist.

                     New in version 2015.5.0.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt 'minion' lxc.copy_to /tmp/foo /root/foo
                     salt 'minion' lxc.cp /tmp/foo /root/foo

       salt.modules.lxc.create(name,     config=None,     profile=None,     network_profile=None,
       nic_opts=None, **kwargs)
              Create a new container.

              name   Name of the container

              config The config file to use for the container.  Defaults  to  system-wide  config
                     (usually in /etc/lxc/lxc.conf).

              profile
                     Profile to use in container creation (see lxc.get_container_profile). Values
                     in a profile will be overridden by the Container Creation  Arguments  listed
                     below.

              network_profile
                     Network profile to use for container

                     New in version 2015.5.0.

              Container Creation Arguments

              template
                     The  template  to  use.  For  example, ubuntu or fedora.  For a full list of
                     available templates, check out the lxc.templates function.

                     Conflicts with the image argument.

                     NOTE:
                        The download template requires  the  following  three  parameters  to  be
                        defined in options:

                        • dist - The name of the distribution

                        • release - Release name/version

                        • arch - Architecture of the container

                        The available images can be listed using the lxc.images function.

              options
                     Template-specific   options   to  pass  to  the  lxc-create  command.  These
                     correspond to the long options (ones beginning with  two  dashes)  that  the
                     template script accepts. For example:

                        options='{"dist": "centos", "release": "6", "arch": "amd64"}'

                     For  available template options, refer to the lxc template scripts which are
                     usually  located  under  /usr/share/lxc/templates,  or  run  lxc-create   -t
                     <template> -h.

              image  A  tar  archive  to  use as the rootfs for the container. Conflicts with the
                     template argument.

              backing
                     The type of storage to use. Set to lvm to use an  LVM  group.   Defaults  to
                     filesystem within /var/lib/lxc.

              fstype Filesystem type to use on LVM logical volume

              size   1G Size of the volume to create. Only applicable if backing=lvm.

              vgname lxc  Name  of  the  LVM  volume group in which to create the volume for this
                     container. Only applicable if backing=lvm.

              lvname Name of the LVM logical volume in  which  to  create  the  volume  for  this
                     container. Only applicable if backing=lvm.

              thinpool
                     Name  of  a  pool  volume  that  will  be  used  for  thin-provisioning this
                     container. Only applicable if backing=lvm.

              nic_opts
                     give extra opts overriding network profile values

              path   parent path for the container creation (default: /var/lib/lxc)

              zfsroot
                     Name of the ZFS root in which to create the volume for this container.  Only
                     applicable if backing=zfs. (default: tank/lxc)

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

       salt.modules.lxc.destroy(name, stop=False, path=None)
              Destroy the named container.

              WARNING:
                 Destroys all data associated with the container.

              path   path to the container parent directory (default: /var/lib/lxc)

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              stop   False If True, the container will be destroyed even if it is running/frozen.

                     Changed  in  version  2015.5.0:  Default  value  changed to False. This more
                     closely matches the behavior of  lxc-destroy(1),  and  also  makes  it  less
                     likely  that an accidental command will destroy a running container that was
                     being used for important things.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' lxc.destroy foo
                 salt '*' lxc.destroy foo stop=True

       salt.modules.lxc.edit_conf(conf_file,        out_format='simple',         read_only=False,
       lxc_config=None, **kwargs)
              Edit  an  LXC  configuration file. If a setting is already present inside the file,
              its value will be replaced. If it does not exist, it will be appended to the end of
              the  file.  Comments  and blank lines will be kept in-tact if they already exist in
              the file.

              out_format:
                     Set to simple if you need  backward  compatibility  (multiple  items  for  a
                     simple key is not supported)

              read_only:
                     return  only  the edited configuration without applying it to the underlying
                     lxc configuration file

              lxc_config:
                     List of dict containning lxc configuration items For network  configuration,
                     you  also need to add the device it belongs to, otherwise it will default to
                     eth0.  Also, any change to a network parameter  will  result  in  the  whole
                     network reconfiguration to avoid mismatchs, be aware of that !

              After  the  file  is  edited, its contents will be returned. By default, it will be
              returned in simple format, meaning an unordered dict (which may not  represent  the
              actual  file  order).  Passing  in  an  out_format  of commented will return a data
              structure which accurately represents the order and content of the file.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'minion' lxc.edit_conf /etc/lxc/mycontainer.conf \
                     out_format=commented lxc.network.type=veth
                 salt 'minion' lxc.edit_conf /etc/lxc/mycontainer.conf \
                     out_format=commented \
                     lxc_config="[{'lxc.network.name': 'eth0', \
                                   'lxc.network.ipv4': '1.2.3.4'},
                                  {'lxc.network.name': 'eth2', \
                                   'lxc.network.ipv4': '1.2.3.5',\
                                   'lxc.network.gateway': '1.2.3.1'}]"

       salt.modules.lxc.exists(name, path=None)
              Returns whether the named container exists.

              path   path to the container parent directory (default: /var/lib/lxc)

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.lxc.freeze(name, **kwargs)
              Freeze the named container

              path   path to the container parent directory default: /var/lib/lxc (system)

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              start  False If True and the container is stopped, the container  will  be  started
                     before attempting to freeze.

       salt.modules.lxc.get_container_profile(name=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Gather  a pre-configured set of container configuration parameters. If no arguments
              are passed, an empty profile is returned.

              Profiles can be defined in the minion or master  config  files,  or  in  pillar  or
              grains,  and  are loaded using config.get. The key under which LXC profiles must be
              configured is  lxc.container_profile.profile_name.  An  example  container  profile
              would be as follows:

                 lxc.container_profile:
                   ubuntu:
                     template: ubuntu
                     backing: lvm
                     vgname: lxc
                     size: 1G

              Parameters  set  in  a  profile  can  be overridden by passing additional container
              creation arguments (such as the ones passed to lxc.create) to this function.

              A profile can be defined either as the name of the  profile,  or  a  dictionary  of
              variable  names and values. See the LXC Tutorial for more information on how to use
              LXC profiles.

              CLI Example:

                 salt-call lxc.get_container_profile centos
                 salt-call lxc.get_container_profile ubuntu template=ubuntu backing=overlayfs

       salt.modules.lxc.get_network_profile(name=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Gather a pre-configured set of network configuration parameters.  If  no  arguments
              are passed, the following default profile is returned:

                 {'eth0': {'link': 'br0', 'type': 'veth', 'flags': 'up'}}

              Profiles  can  be  defined  in  the  minion or master config files, or in pillar or
              grains, and are loaded using config.get. The key under which LXC profiles  must  be
              configured is lxc.network_profile. An example network profile would be as follows:

                 lxc.network_profile.centos:
                   eth0:
                     link: br0
                     type: veth
                     flags: up

              To disable networking entirely:

                 lxc.network_profile.centos:
                   eth0:
                     disable: true

              Parameters  set  in  a profile can be overridden by passing additional arguments to
              this function.

              A profile can be passed either as the name of  the  profile,  or  a  dictionary  of
              variable  names and values. See the LXC Tutorial for more information on how to use
              network profiles.

              WARNING:
                 The ipv4, ipv6, gateway, and link (bridge) settings  in  network  profiles  will
                 only  work  if  the  container  doesn't  redefine the network configuration (for
                 example in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<interface_name> on RHEL/CentOS,
                 or /etc/network/interfaces on Debian/Ubuntu/etc.)

              Initialize a new container.

              This is a partial idempotent function as if it  is  already  provisioned,  we  will
              reset a bit the lxc configuration file but much of the hard work will be escaped as
              markers will prevent re-execution of harmful tasks.

   salt.modules.lxd
       Module for managing the LXD daemon and its containers.

       New in version 2019.2.0.

       LXD(1)  is  a  container "hypervisor". This execution module provides several functions to
       help manage it and its containers.

       NOTE:pylxd(2) version >=2.2.5 is required to let this work, currently only  available  via
            pip.
                To install on Ubuntu:

                $ apt-get install libssl-dev python-pip $ pip install -U pylxd

          • you need lxd installed on the minion for the init() and version() methods.

          • for the config_get() and config_get() methods you need to have lxd-client installed.

       salt.modules.lxd.authenticate(remote_addr, password, cert, key, verify_cert=True)
              Authenticate with a remote LXDaemon.

              remote_addr :
                     An URL to a remote Server, you also have to give cert and key if you provide
                     remote_addr and its a TCP Address!

                     Examples:
                            https://myserver.lan:8443

              password :
                     The password of the remote.

              cert : PEM Formatted SSL Certificate.

                     Examples:
                            ~/.config/lxc/client.crt

              key :  PEM Formatted SSL Key.

                     Examples:
                            ~/.config/lxc/client.key

              verify_cert
                     True Wherever to verify the cert, this is by default True but  in  the  most
                     cases you want to set it off as LXD normally uses self-signed certificates.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' lxd.authenticate https://srv01:8443 <yourpass> ~/.config/lxc/client.crt ~/.config/lxc/client.key false

   salt.modules.mac_portspkg
       Support for MacPorts under macOS.

       This module has some caveats.

       1.  Updating  the  database  of  available  ports  is  quite resource-intensive.  However,
       refresh=True is the default for all operations that need an up-to-date copy  of  available
       ports.  Consider refresh=False when you are sure no db update is needed.

       2.  In  some  cases MacPorts doesn't always realize when another copy of itself is running
       and will gleefully tromp all over the  available  ports  database.   This  makes  MacPorts
       behave in undefined ways until a fresh complete copy is retrieved.

       Because  of  1  and  2  it  is  possible  to  get  the salt-minion into a state where salt
       mac-machine pkg./something/ won't want to return.  Use

       salt-run jobs.active

       on the master to check for potentially long-running calls to port.

       Finally, ports database updates are always handled with port selfupdate as opposed to port
       sync.   This  makes sense in the MacPorts user community but may confuse experienced Linux
       admins as Linux package managers don't upgrade the packaging software when doing a package
       database  update.   In  other  words  salt mac-machine pkg.refresh_db is more like apt-get
       update; apt-get upgrade dpkg apt-get than simply apt-get update.

       salt.modules.mac_portspkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of latest_version.
                 Return the latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or

   salt.modules.mac_service
       The service module for macOS

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       This module has support for services in the following locations.

          /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
          /System/Library/LaunchAgents/
          /Library/LaunchDaemons/
          /Library/LaunchAgents/

          # As of version "2019.2.0" support for user-specific services were added.
          /Users/foo/Library/LaunchAgents/

       NOTE:
          As  of  the 2019.2.0 release, if a service is located in a LaunchAgent path and a runas
          user is NOT specified, the current console user will be used to properly interact  with
          the service.

       NOTE:
          As  of  the  3002  release, if a service name of salt-minion is passed this module will
          convert   it   over   to   it's   macOS   equivalent   name,   in    this    case    to
          com.saltstack.salt.minion.  This  is  true for salt-master salt-api, and salt-syndic as
          well.

       salt.modules.mac_service.available(name)

       salt.modules.mac_service.disabled(name, runas=None, domain='system')
              Check  if  the  specified  service  is  not  enabled.  This  is  the  opposite   of
              service.enabled

              Parametersname (str) -- The name to look up

                     • runas (str) -- User to run launchctl commands

              loaded/bootstrapped).

              NOTE:
                 Previously this function would see if the service is loaded via  launchctl  list
                 to  determine  if the service is enabled. This was not an accurate way to do so.
                 The new behavior checks to make sure its not disabled to determine  the  status.
                 Please use service.loaded for the previous behavior.

   salt.modules.mac_user
       Manage users on Mac OS 10.7+

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage users on a minion,  and  it
          is  using  a  different  module  (or  gives  an  error  similar  to  'user.info' is not
          available), see here.

       salt.modules.mac_user.add(name, uid=None, gid=None,  groups=None,  home=None,  shell=None,
       fullname=None, createhome=True, **kwargs)

       salt.modules.mac_user.chgroups(name, groups, append=False)
              Change  the  groups  to  which the user belongs. Note that the user's primary group
              does not have to be one of the groups passed,  membership  in  the  user's  primary
              group is automatically assumed.

              groups Groups  to  which  the  user should belong, can be passed either as a python
                     list or a comma-separated string

              append Instead of removing user from groups not included in the  groups  parameter,
                     just add user to any groups for which they are not members

   salt.modules.mandrill
   Mandrill
       Send out emails using the Mandrill API.

       In the minion configuration file, the following block is required:

          mandrill:
            key: <API_KEY>

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       salt.modules.mandrill.send(message,    asynchronous=False,   ip_pool=None,   send_at=None,
       api_url=None, api_version=None, api_key=None)
              Send out the email using the details from the message argument.

              message
                     The information on the message to  send.  This  argument  must  be  sent  as
                     dictionary with at fields as specified in the Mandrill API documentation.

              asynchronous: False
                     Enable  a  background  sending  mode that is optimized for bulk sending.  In
                     asynchronous  mode,  messages/send  will  immediately  return  a  status  of
                     "queued"   for  every  recipient.  To  handle  rejections  when  sending  in
                     asynchronous mode, set up a webhook for  the  'reject'  event.  Defaults  to
                     false  for messages with no more than 10 recipients; messages with more than
                     10 recipients are always sent asynchronously, regardless  of  the  value  of
                     asynchronous.

              ip_pool
                     The  name  of the dedicated ip pool that should be used to send the message.
                     If you do not have any dedicated IPs, this parameter has no effect.  If  you
                     specify a pool that does not exist, your default pool will be used instead.

              send_at
                     When  this  message should be sent as a UTC timestamp in YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
                     format. If you specify a  time  in  the  past,  the  message  will  be  sent
                     immediately. An additional fee applies for scheduled email, and this feature
                     is only available to accounts with a positive balance.

              NOTE:
                 Fur further details please consult the API documentation.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' mandrill.send message="{'subject': 'Hi', 'from_email': 'test@example.com', 'to': [{'email': 'recv@example.com', 'type': 'to'}]}"

              CLI Example:

                 salt marathon-minion-id marathon.restart_app my-app

              By default, this will only check if the app exists in marathon. It does  not  check
              if there are any tasks associated with it or if the app is suspended.

                 salt marathon-minion-id marathon.restart_app my-app true true

              The  restart  option needs to be set to True to actually issue a rolling restart to
              marathon.

              The force option tells marathon to ignore the current app deployment  if  there  is
              one.

       salt.modules.marathon.rm_app(id)
              Remove the specified app from the server.

                 Retrieving Mine data from Pillar and Orchestrate

                 This execution module is  intended  to  be  executed  on  minions.   Master-side
                 operations  such  as Pillar or Orchestrate that require Mine data should use the
                 Mine Runner module instead; it can be invoked from a Pillar SLS file  using  the
                 saltutil.runner module. For example:

       salt.modules.mine.get_docker(interfaces=None, cidrs=None, with_container_id=False)
              Changed in version 2017.7.8,2018.3.3: When docker.update_mine is set to False for a
              given minion, no mine data will be populated for that minion, and thus none will be
              returned for it.

              Changed in version 2019.2.0: docker.update_mine now defaults to False

              Get  all  mine  data  for  docker.ps and run an aggregation routine. The interfaces
              parameter allows for specifying the network interfaces  from  which  to  select  IP
              addresses. The cidrs parameter allows for specifying a list of subnets which the IP
              address must match.

              with_container_id
                     Boolean, to expose container_id in the list of results

                     New in version 2015.8.2.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' mine.get_docker
                 salt '*' mine.get_docker interfaces='eth0'
                 salt '*' mine.get_docker interfaces='["eth0", "eth1"]'

       salt.modules.mine.send(name, *args, **kwargs)
              Send a specific function and its result to the salt  mine.   This  gets  stored  in
              either the local cache, or the salt master's cache.

              Parameters
                     name (str) -- Name of the function to add to the mine.

              The following pameters are extracted from kwargs if present:

              Parametersmine_function  (str)  --  The name of the execution_module.function to run
                       and whose value will be stored in the salt mine. Defaults to name.

                     • allow_tgt (str)  --  Targeting  specification  for  ACL.  Specifies  which
                       minions  are allowed to access this function. Please note both your master
                       and minion need to be  on,  at  least,  version  3000  for  this  to  work
                       properly.

                     • allow_tgt_type  (str)  --  Type of the targeting specification. This value
                       will be ignored if allow_tgt is  not  specified.  Please  note  both  your
                       master  and  minion need to be on, at least, version 3000 for this to work
                       properly.

              Remaining args and kwargs will be passed on to the function to run.

              Return type
                     bool

              Returns
                     Whether executing the function and storing the information was successful.

              Changed in version 3000: Added allow_tgt- and allow_tgt_type-parameters to  specify
              which  minions  are  allowed  to  access  this  function.   See  targeting for more
              information about targeting.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' mine.send network.ip_addrs eth0
                 salt '*' mine.send eth0_ip_addrs mine_function=network.ip_addrs eth0
                 salt '*' mine.send eth0_ip_addrs mine_function=network.ip_addrs eth0 allow_tgt='G@grain:value' allow_tgt_type=compound

       salt.modules.mine.update(clear=False, mine_functions=None)
              Call the configured functions and send  the  data  back  up  to  the  master.   The
              functions  to be called are merged from the master config, pillar and minion config
              under the option mine_functions:

                 mine_functions:
                   network.ip_addrs:
                     - eth0
                   disk.usage: []

              This function accepts the following arguments:

              Parametersclear (bool) -- Default: False Specifies whether updating will  clear  the
                       existing values (True), or whether it will update them (False).

                     • mine_functions (dict) --

                       Update  (or clear, see clear) the mine data on these functions only.  This
                       will    need    to    have     the     structure     as     defined     on
                       https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/mine/index.html#mine-functions

                       This feature can be used when updating the mine for functions that require
                       a  refresh at different intervals than the rest of the functions specified
                       under mine_functions in the minion/master config or pillar.   A  potential
                       use would be together with the scheduler, for example:

                          schedule:
                            lldp_mine_update:
                              function: mine.update
                              kwargs:
                                  mine_functions:
                                    net.lldp: []
                              hours: 12

                       In  the  example  above, the mine for net.lldp would be refreshed every 12
                       hours, while  network.ip_addrs would continue to be updated  as  specified
                       in mine_interval.

              The  function  cache  will  be  populated  with  information  from  executing these
              functions

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' mine.update

       salt.modules.mine.valid()
              List valid entries in mine configuration.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' mine.valid

   salt.modules.minion
       Module to provide information about minions

       salt.modules.minion.kill(timeout=15)
              Kill the salt minion.

              timeout
                     int seconds to wait for the minion to die.

              If you have a monitor that restarts salt-minion when it dies then this is  a  great
              way to restart after a minion upgrade.

              CLI Example:

                 salt minion[12] minion.kill

                 minion1:
                     ----------
                     killed:
                         7874
                     retcode:
                         0
                 minion2:
                     ----------
                     killed:
                         29071
                     retcode:
                         0

              The  result of the salt command shows the process ID of the minions and the results
              of a kill signal to the minion in as the retcode value: 0 is success, anything else
              is a failure.

       salt.modules.minion.list_()
              Return  a list of accepted, denied, unaccepted and rejected keys.  This is the same
              output as salt-key -L

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'master' minion.list

       salt.modules.minion.restart()
              Kill and restart the salt minion.

              The configuration key minion_restart_command is an argv list  for  the  command  to
              restart  the  minion.  If minion_restart_command is not specified or empty then the
              argv of the current process will be used.

              if the configuration value minion_restart_command is not set and the -d (daemonize)
              argument  is  missing  from  argv  then  the  minion will be killed but will not be
              restarted and will require  the  parent  process  to  perform  the  restart.   This
              behavior is intended for managed salt minion processes.

              CLI Example:

                 salt minion[12] minion.restart

                 minion1:
                     ----------

              The result of the command shows the process ID of minion1 that is shutdown (killed)
              and the results of the restart.  If there is a failure in the restart  it  will  be
              reflected  in  a  non-zero  retcode and possibly output in the stderr and/or stdout
              values along with addition information in the comment field as is demonstrated with
              minion2.

       http://tomcat.apache.org/connectors-doc/reference/status.html)

       Below  is  an example of the configuration needed for this module. This configuration data
       can be placed either in grains or pillar.

       If using grains, this can be accomplished statically or via a grain module.

       If using pillar, the yaml configuration can be placed directly into  a  pillar  SLS  file,
       making this both the easier and more dynamic method of configuring this module.

          modjk:
            default:
              url: http://localhost/jkstatus
              user: modjk
              pass: secret
              realm: authentication realm for digest passwords
              timeout: 5
            otherVhost:
              url: http://otherVhost/jkstatus
              user: modjk
              pass: secret2
              realm: authentication realm2 for digest passwords
              timeout: 600

   salt.modules.mssql
       Module to provide MS SQL Server compatibility to salt.

       depends

              • FreeTDS

              • pymssql Python module

       configuration
              In  order  to connect to MS SQL Server, certain configuration is required in minion
              configs/pillars on the relevant minions. Some sample pillars might look like:

                 mssql.server: 'localhost'
                 mssql.port:   1433
                 mssql.user:   'sysdba'
                 mssql.password:   'Some preferable complex password'
                 mssql.database: ''

              The default for the port is '1433' and for the database is ''  (empty  string);  in
              most  cases  they  can  be  left at the default setting.  Options that are directly
              passed into functions will overwrite options from configs or pillars.

   salt.modules.mysql
       Module to provide MySQL compatibility to salt.

       depends

              • MySQLdb Python module

       NOTE:
          On CentOS 5 (and possibly RHEL 5) both MySQL-python and  python26-mysqldb  need  to  be
          installed.

       configuration
              In order to connect to MySQL, certain configuration is required in /etc/salt/minion
              on the relevant minions. Some sample configs might look like:

                 mysql.host: 'localhost'
                 mysql.port: 3306
                 mysql.user: 'root'
                 mysql.pass: ''
                 mysql.db: 'mysql'
                 mysql.unix_socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'
                 mysql.charset: 'utf8'

              You can also use a defaults file:

                 mysql.default_file: '/etc/mysql/debian.cnf'

       Changed in version 2014.1.0: 'charset' connection argument added. This is a MySQL charset,
       not a python one.

       Changed  in  version  0.16.2:  Connection  arguments  from  the  minion config file can be
       overridden on the CLI by using the  arguments  defined  here.   Additionally,  it  is  now
       possible to setup a user with no password.

              Parametersidentifier -- the table, column or database identifier

                     • for_grants  --  is  False  by  default, when using database names on grant
                       queries you should set it to True to also escape "_" and "%" characters as
                       requested  by  MySQL.  Note  that theses characters should only be escaped
                       when requesting grants on the database level (my_%db.*) but not for  table
                       level grants (my_%db.`foo`)

   salt.modules.nacl
       This module helps include encrypted passwords in pillars, grains and salt state files.

       depends
              libnacl, https://github.com/saltstack/libnacl

       This  is  often  useful  if you wish to store your pillars in source control or share your
       pillar data with others that  you  trust.  I  don't  advise  making  your  pillars  public
       regardless if they are encrypted or not.

       When  generating  keys and encrypting passwords use --local when using salt-call for extra
       security. Also consider using just the salt runner nacl when encrypting pillar passwords.

       configuration
              The following configuration defaults can be define (pillar or config  files)  Avoid
              storing private keys in pillars! Ensure master does not have pillar_opts=True:

                 # cat /etc/salt/master.d/nacl.conf
                 nacl.config:
                     # NOTE: `key` and `key_file` have been renamed to `sk`, `sk_file`
                     # also `box_type` default changed from secretbox to sealedbox.
                     box_type: sealedbox                     (default)
                     sk_file: /etc/salt/pki/master/nacl      (default)
                     pk_file: /etc/salt/pki/master/nacl.pub  (default)
                     sk: None
                     pk: None

              Usage can override the config defaults:

                 salt-call nacl.enc sk_file=/etc/salt/pki/master/nacl pk_file=/etc/salt/pki/master/nacl.pub

       The  nacl  lib  uses  32byte  keys,  these  keys are base64 encoded to make your life more
       simple.  To generate your sk_file and pk_file use:

          salt-call --local nacl.keygen sk_file=/etc/salt/pki/master/nacl
          # or if you want to work without files.
          salt-call --local nacl.keygen
          local:
              ----------
              pk:
                  /kfGX7PbWeu099702PBbKWLpG/9p06IQRswkdWHCDk0=
              sk:
                  SVWut5SqNpuPeNzb1b9y6b2eXg2PLIog43GBzp48Sow=

       Now with your keypair, you can encrypt data:

       You have two option, sealedbox or secretbox.

       SecretBox is data encrypted using private key pk. Sealedbox is encrypted using public  key
       pk.

       Recommend  using  Sealedbox  because  the one way encryption permits developers to encrypt
       data for source control but not decrypt.  Sealedbox only has one  key  that  is  for  both
       encryption and decryption.

          salt-call --local nacl.enc asecretpass pk=/kfGX7PbWeu099702PBbKWLpG/9p06IQRswkdWHCDk0=
          tqXzeIJnTAM9Xf0mdLcpEdklMbfBGPj2oTKmlgrm3S1DTVVHNnh9h8mU1GKllGq/+cYsk6m5WhGdk58=

       To decrypt the data:

          salt-call --local nacl.dec data='tqXzeIJnTAM9Xf0mdLcpEdklMbfBGPj2oTKmlgrm3S1DTVVHNnh9h8mU1GKllGq/+cYsk6m5WhGdk58='         sk='SVWut5SqNpuPeNzb1b9y6b2eXg2PLIog43GBzp48Sow='

       When  the  keys  are  defined  in  the master config you can use them from the nacl runner
       without extra parameters:

          # cat /etc/salt/master.d/nacl.conf
          nacl.config:
              sk_file: /etc/salt/pki/master/nacl
              pk: 'cTIqXwnUiD1ulg4kXsbeCE7/NoeKEzd4nLeYcCFpd9k='

          salt-run nacl.enc 'asecretpass'
          salt-run nacl.dec data='tqXzeIJnTAM9Xf0mdLcpEdklMbfBGPj2oTKmlgrm3S1DTVVHNnh9h8mU1GKllGq/+cYsk6m5WhGdk58='

          # a salt developers minion could have pillar data that includes a nacl public key
          nacl.config:
              pk: '/kfGX7PbWeu099702PBbKWLpG/9p06IQRswkdWHCDk0='

       The developer can then use a less-secure system to encrypt data.

          salt-call --local nacl.enc apassword

       Pillar files can include protected data that the salt master decrypts:

          pillarexample:
              user: root
              password1: {{salt.nacl.dec('DRB7Q6/X5gGSRCTpZyxS6hlbWj0llUA+uaVyvou3vJ4=')|json}}
              cert_key: {{salt.nacl.dec_file('/srv/salt/certs/example.com/key.nacl')|json}}
              cert_key2: {{salt.nacl.dec_file('salt:///certs/example.com/key.nacl')|json}}

       Larger files like certificates can be encrypted with:

          salt-call nacl.enc_file /tmp/cert.crt out=/tmp/cert.nacl
          # or more advanced
          cert=$(cat /tmp/cert.crt)
          salt-call --out=newline_values_only nacl.enc_pub data="$cert" > /tmp/cert.nacl

       In pillars rended with jinja be sure to include |json so line breaks are encoded:

          cert: "{{salt.nacl.dec('S2uogToXkgENz9...085KYt')|json}}"

       In states rendered with jinja it is also good pratice to include |json:

          {{sls}} private key:
              file.managed:
                  - name: /etc/ssl/private/cert.key
                  - mode: 700
                  - contents: "{{pillar['pillarexample']['cert_key']|json}}"

       salt.modules.nacl.dec_file(name, out=None, **kwargs)
              This is a helper function to decrypt a file and return its contents.

              You can provide an optional output file using out

              name can be a local file or when not using salt-run can  be  a  url  like  salt://,
              https:// etc.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt-run nacl.dec_file name=/tmp/id_rsa.nacl

   salt.modules.napalm_formula
   NAPALM Formula helpers
       New in version 2019.2.0.

       This  is  an  Execution  Module  providing  helpers  for  various  NAPALM  formulas, e.g.,
       napalm-interfaces-formula, napalm-bgp-formula, napalm-ntp-formula etc., meant  to  provide
       various helper functions to make the templates more readable.

       salt.modules.napalm_formula.container_path(model, key=None, container=None, delim=':')
              Return  the  list  of  all  the  possible  paths in a container, down to the config
              container.  This function can be used to verify that the model is a  Python  object
              correctly structured and respecting the OpenConfig hierarchy.

              model  The OpenConfig-structured object to inspect.

              delim: :
                     The key delimiter. In particular cases, it is indicated to use // as : might
                     be already used in various  cases,  e.g.,  IPv6  addresses,  interface  name
                     (e.g., Juniper QFX series), etc.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm_formula.container_path "{'interfaces': {'interface': {'Ethernet1': {'config': {'name': 'Ethernet1'}}}}}"

              The   example   above   would   return   a   list   with   the  following  element:
              interfaces:interface:Ethernet1:config which is  the  only  possible  path  in  that
              hierarchy.

              Other output examples:

                 - interfaces:interface:Ethernet1:config
                 - interfaces:interface:Ethernet1:subinterfaces:subinterface:0:config
                 - interfaces:interface:Ethernet2:config

       salt.modules.napalm_formula.defaults(model, defaults_, delim='//', flipped_merge=False)
              Apply  the defaults to a Python dictionary having the structure as described in the
              OpenConfig standards.

              model  The OpenConfig model to apply the defaults to.

              defaults
                     The dictionary of defaults. This argument must equally  be  structured  with
                     respect to the OpenConfig standards.

                     For ease of use, the keys of these support glob matching, therefore we don't
                     have to provide the defaults for each entity but only for the  entity  type.
                     See an example below.

              delim: //
                     The key delimiter to use. Generally, // should cover all the possible cases,
                     and you don't need to override this value.

              flipped_merge: False
                     Whether should merge the model into the defaults, or the defaults  into  the
                     model. Default: False (merge the model into the defaults, i.e., any defaults
                     would be overridden by the values from the model).

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm_formula.defaults "{'interfaces': {'interface': {'Ethernet1': {'config': {'name': 'Ethernet1'}}}}}" "{'interfaces': {'interface': {'*': {'config': {'enabled': True}}}}}"

              As one can notice in the example above, the * corresponds to  the  interface  name,
              therefore, the defaults will be applied on all the interfaces.

       salt.modules.napalm_formula.dictupdate(dest,          upd,          recursive_update=True,
       merge_lists=False)
              Recursive version of the default dict.update

              Merges upd recursively into dest

              If recursive_update=False, will use the classic dict.update,  or  fall  back  on  a
              manual merge (helpful for non-dict types like FunctionWrapper).

              If merge_lists=True, will aggregate list object types instead of replace.  The list
              in upd is added to the list in dest, so the resulting list is dest[key] + upd[key].
              This   behaviour   is   only   activated  when  recursive_update=True.  By  default
              merge_lists=False.

       salt.modules.napalm_formula.render_field(dictionary,  field,  prepend=None,   append=None,
       quotes=False, **opts)
              Render  a  field  found  under  the  field level of the hierarchy in the dictionary
              object.  This is useful to render a field in a Jinja template without worrying that
              the  hierarchy  might  not  exist.  For example if we do the following in Jinja: {{
              interfaces.interface.Ethernet5.config.description  }}  for  the  following  object:
              {'interfaces':  {'interface':  {'Ethernet1':  {'config':  {'enabled':  True}}}}} it
              would error, as the Ethernet5 key does not exist.  With this helper,  we  can  skip
              this and avoid existence checks. This must be however used with care.

              dictionary
                     The dictionary to traverse.

              field  The key name or part to traverse in the dictionary.

              prepend: None
                     The  text to prepend in front of the text. Usually, we need to have the name
                     of the field too when generating the configuration.

              append: None
                     Text to append at the end.

              quotes: False
                     Whether should wrap the text around quotes.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm_formula.render_field "{'enabled': True}" enabled
                 # This would return the value of the ``enabled`` leaf key
                 salt '*' napalm_formula.render_field "{'enabled': True}" description
                 # This would not error

              Jinja usage example:

                 {%- set config = {'enabled': True, 'description': 'Interface description'} %}
                 {{ salt.napalm_formula.render_field(config, 'description', quotes=True) }}

              The example above would be rendered on Arista / Cisco as:

                 description "Interface description"

              While on Junos (the semicolon is important to be added, otherwise the configuration
              won't be accepted by Junos):

                 description "Interface description";

       salt.modules.napalm_formula.render_fields(dictionary, *fields, **opts)
              This  function  works  similarly  to render_field but for a list of fields from the
              same dictionary, rendering, indenting and distributing them on separate lines.

              dictionary
                     The dictionary to traverse.

              fields A list of field names or paths in the dictionary.

              indent: 0
                     The indentation to use, prepended to the rendered field.

              separator: \n
                     The separator to use between fields.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm_formula.render_fields "{'mtu': 68, 'description': 'Interface description'}" mtu description

              Jinja usage example:

                 {%- set config={'mtu': 68, 'description': 'Interface description'} %}
                 {{ salt.napalm_formula.render_fields(config, 'mtu', 'description', quotes=True) }}

              The Jinja example above would generate the following configuration:

                 mtu "68"
                 description "Interface description"

       salt.modules.napalm_formula.setval(key, val, dict_=None, delim=':')
              Set a value under the dictionary hierarchy identified under  the  key.  The  target
              'foo/bar/baz' returns the dictionary hierarchy {'foo': {'bar': {'baz': {}}}}.

              NOTE:
                 Currently this doesn't work with integers, i.e.  cannot build lists dynamically.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' formula.setval foo:baz:bar True

       salt.modules.napalm_formula.traverse(data, key, default=None, delimiter=':')
              Traverse  a dict or list using a colon-delimited (or otherwise delimited, using the
              delimiter   param)   target   string.   The   target    foo:bar:0    will    return
              data['foo']['bar'][0]  if  this value exists, and will otherwise return the dict in
              the default argument.  Function will automatically determine the target type.   The
              target    foo:bar:0    will    return    data['foo']['bar'][0]    if    data   like
              {'foo':{'bar':['baz']}} , if  data  like  {'foo':{'bar':{'0':'baz'}}}  then  return
              data['foo']['bar']['0']

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm_formula.traverse "{'foo': {'bar': {'baz': True}}}" foo:baz:bar

       Helpers for the NAPALM modules.

       New in version 2017.7.0.

       salt.modules.napalm_mod.alive(**kwargs)
              Returns the alive status of the connection layer.  The output is a dictionary under
              the usual dictionary output of the NAPALM modules.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm.alive

              Output Example:

                 result: True
                 out:
                     is_alive: False
                 comment: ''

       salt.modules.napalm_mod.call(method, *args, **kwargs)
              Execute arbitrary methods from the NAPALM library.  To  see  the  expected  output,
              please consult the NAPALM documentation.

              NOTE:
                 This feature is not recommended to be used in production.  It should be used for
                 testing only!

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm.call get_lldp_neighbors
                 salt '*' napalm.call get_firewall_policies
                 salt '*' napalm.call get_bgp_config group='my-group'

              Return the compliance report.

              filepath
                     The absolute path to the validation file.

                     Changed in version 2019.2.0.

                     Beginning  with  release codename 2019.2.0, this function has been enhanced,
                     to be able to leverage the multi-engine template rendering of Salt,  besides
                     the  possibility  to  retrieve  the file source from remote systems, the URL
                     schemes supported being:

                     • salt://http:// and https://ftp://s3://swift:/

                     Or on the local file system (on the Minion).

                     NOTE:
                        The rendering result does not necessarily need to be YAML, instead it can
                        be  any  format  interpreted by Salt's rendering pipeline (including pure
                        Python).

              string New in version 2019.2.0.

                     The compliance report send as inline string, to be used as the file to  send
                     through  the  renderer  system. Note, not all renderer modules can work with
                     strings; the 'py' renderer requires a file, for example.

              renderer: jinja|yaml
                     New in version 2019.2.0.

                     The renderer pipe to  send  the  file  through;  this  is  overridden  by  a
                     "she-bang" at the top of the file.

              kwargs Changed in version 2019.2.0.

                     Keyword args to pass to Salt's compile_template() function.

                 configuration  change  will  be  directly  loaded into the running config if the
                 platform doesn't have the concept of candidate config.

                 On Junos, or other platforms that have this capability, the changes will not  be
                 loaded  into  the  running  config, and the user must set the commit argument to
                 True to transfer the changes from the candidate into the running  config  before

                     template_engine).

                     This  can  be specified using the absolute path to the file, or using one of
                     the following URL schemes:

                     • salt://, to fetch the file from the Salt fileserver.

                     • http:// or https://ftp://s3://swift://

       salt.modules.napalm_mod.rpc(command, **kwargs)
              New in version 2019.2.0.

              This is a wrapper to execute RPC requests  on  various  network  operating  systems
              supported  by  NAPALM,  invoking  the  following  functions  for  the NAPALM native
              drivers:

              • napalm.junos_rpc for junosnapalm.pyeapi_run_commands for eosnapalm.nxos_api_rpc for nxosnapalm.netmiko_commands for ios, iosxr, and nxos_ssh

              command
                     The RPC command to execute. This depends on  the  nature  of  the  operating
                     system.

              kwargs Key-value arguments to be sent to the underlying Execution function.

              The   function  capabilities  are  extensible  in  the  user  environment  via  the
              napalm_rpc_map configuration option / Pillar, e.g.,

                 napalm_rpc_map:
                   f5: napalm.netmiko_commands
                   panos: panos.call

              The  mapping  above  reads:  when  the  NAPALM  os   Grain   is   f5,   then   call
              napalm.netmiko_commands for RPC requests.

              By  default,  if  the user does not specify any map, non-native NAPALM drivers will
              invoke the napalm.netmiko_commands Execution function.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' napalm.rpc 'show version'
                 salt '*' napalm.rpc get-interfaces

                 respects the order defined in the terms and/or inside the pillar.

                 When  merging  the  terms with the pillar data, consider the prepend argument to
                 make sure the order is correct!

              filter_name
                     The name of the policy filter.

              filter_options
                     Additional filter options. These options  are  platform-specific.   See  the
                     complete list of options.

              terms  List  of  terms for this policy filter.  If not specified or empty, will try
                     to load the configuration from the pillar, unless  merge_pillar  is  set  as
                     False.

              prepend: True
                     When  merge_pillar  is  set  as  True,  the final list of terms generated by
                     merging the terms from terms with those defined in the pillar (if any):  new
                     terms  are prepended at the beginning, while existing ones will preserve the
                     position. To add the new terms at the end of the list, set this argument  to
                     False.

              pillar_key: acl
                     The  key  in  the  pillar containing the default attributes values. Default:
                     acl.

              pillarenv
                     Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from
                     the requested pillar environment.

              saltenv
                     Included   only   for  compatibility  with  pillarenv_from_saltenv,  and  is
                     otherwise ignored.

              merge_pillar: True
                     Merge the CLI variables with the pillar. Default: True.

                     The merge logic depends on the prepend  argument  and  the  CLI  has  higher
                     priority than the pillar.

              only_lower_merge: False
                     Specify  if  it should merge only the terms fields. Otherwise it will try to
                     merge  also  filters  fields.  Default:   False.    This   option   requires
                     merge_pillar, otherwise it is ignored.

              revision_id
                     Add  a  comment  in the filter config having the description for the changes
                     applied.

              revision_no
                     The revision count.

              revision_date: True
                     Boolean flag: display the date when the filter configuration was  generated.
                     Default: True.

              revision_date_format: %Y/%m/%d
                     The  date  format  to  be  used  when generating the perforce data. Default:
                     %Y/%m/%d (<year>/<month>/<day>).

              test: False
                     Dry run? If set as True, will apply  the  config,  discard  and  return  the
                     changes.  Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

              commit: True
                     Commit? Default: True.

              debug: False
                     Debug  mode.  Will  insert  a  new  key  under  the  output  dictionary,  as
                     loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

              The output is a dictionary having the same form as net.load_config.

              The filter configuration has been loaded from  the  pillar,  having  the  following

       test=False, commit=True, debug=False, **kwargs)
              Generate and load the configuration of the whole policy.

              NOTE:
                 The order of the filters and their terms is very important.   The  configuration
                 loaded on the device respects the order defined in the filters and/or inside the
                 pillar.

                 When merging the filters with the pillar data, consider the prepend argument  to
                 make sure the order is correct!

              filters
                     List  of  filters  for  this policy.  If not specified or empty, will try to
                     load the configuration from the pillar, unless merge_pillar is set as False.

              prepend: True
                     When merge_pillar is set as True, the final list  of  filters  generated  by
                     merging  the filters from filters with those defined in the pillar (if any):
                     new filters are  prepended  at  the  beginning,  while  existing  ones  will
                     preserve  the  position.  To add the new filters at the end of the list, set
                     this argument to False.

              pillar_key: acl
                     The key in the pillar containing the  default  attributes  values.  Default:
                     acl.

              pillarenv
                     Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from
                     the requested pillar environment.

              saltenv
                     Included  only  for  compatibility  with  pillarenv_from_saltenv,   and   is
                     otherwise ignored.

              merge_pillar: True
                     Merge the CLI variables with the pillar. Default: True.

                     The  merge  logic  depends  on  the  prepend argument and the CLI has higher
                     priority than the pillar.

              only_lower_merge: False
                     Specify if it should merge only the filters and terms fields.  Otherwise  it
                     will  try  to  merge  everything  at the policy level. Default: False.  This
                     option requires merge_pillar, otherwise it is ignored.

              revision_id
                     Add a comment in the policy config having the description  for  the  changes
                     applied.

              revision_no
                     The revision count.

              revision_date: True
                     Boolean  flag: display the date when the policy configuration was generated.
                     Default: True.

              revision_date_format: %Y/%m/%d
                     The date format to be used  when  generating  the  perforce  data.  Default:
                     %Y/%m/%d (<year>/<month>/<day>).

              test: False
                     Dry  run?  If  set  as  True,  will apply the config, discard and return the
                     changes.  Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

              commit: True
                     Commit? Default: True.

              debug: False
                     Debug  mode.  Will  insert  a  new  key  under  the  output  dictionary,  as
                     loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

              The output is a dictionary having the same form as net.load_config.

       commit=True, debug=False, source_service=None, destination_service=None, **term_fields)
              Generate and load the configuration of a policy term.

              filter_name
                     The name of the policy filter.

              term_name
                     The name of the term.

              filter_options
                     Additional  filter  options.  These  options are platform-specific.  See the
                     complete list of options.

              pillar_key: acl
                     The key in the pillar containing the  default  attributes  values.  Default:
                     acl.  If the pillar contains the following structure:

                        firewall:
                          - my-filter:
                              terms:

                                    source_port: 1234
                                    source_address:
                                        - 1.2.3.4/32
                                        - 5.6.7.8/32

                     The pillar_key field would be specified as firewall.

              pillarenv
                     Query the master to generate fresh pillar data on the fly, specifically from
                     the requested pillar environment.

              saltenv
                     Included  only  for  compatibility  with  pillarenv_from_saltenv,   and   is
                     otherwise ignored.

              merge_pillar: True
                     Merge the CLI variables with the pillar. Default: True.

                     The  properties  specified  through  the  CLI  have higher priority than the
                     pillar.

              revision_id
                     Add a comment in the term config having  the  description  for  the  changes
                     applied.

              revision_no
                     The revision count.

              revision_date: True
                     Boolean  flag:  display  the date when the term configuration was generated.
                     Default: True.

              revision_date_format: %Y/%m/%d
                     The date format to be used  when  generating  the  perforce  data.  Default:
                     %Y/%m/%d (<year>/<month>/<day>).

              test: False
                     Dry  run?  If  set  as  True,  will apply the config, discard and return the
                     changes.  Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

              commit: True
                     Commit? Default: True.

              debug: False
                     Debug  mode.  Will  insert  a  new  key  under  the  output  dictionary,  as
                     loaded_config containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

              source_service
                     A  special  service  to choose from. This is a helper so the user is able to
                     select a source just using the name, instead of specifying a source_port and
                     protocol.

                     As  this  module is available on Unix platforms only, it reads the IANA port
                     assignment from /etc/services.

                     If the user requires additional shortcuts to be  referenced,  they  can  add
                     entries under /etc/services, which can be managed using the file state.

              destination_service
                     A  special  service  to choose from. This is a helper so the user is able to
                     select  a  source  just  using   the   name,   instead   of   specifying   a
                     destination_port and protocol.  Allows the same options as source_service.

              term_fields
                     Term  attributes.  To see what fields are supported, please consult the list
                     of supported keywords. Some platforms have a few other optional keywords.

              NOTE:
                 The following fields are accepted (some being platform-specific):

                 • destination_tag

                 • source_service

                 • destination_service

                 Example: destination_address can be either defined as:

                     destination_address: 172.17.17.1/24

                 or as a list of destination IP addresses:

                     destination_address:
                         - 172.17.17.1/24
                         - 172.17.19.1/24

                 or a list of services to be matched:

                     source_service:
                         - ntp
                         - snmp
                         - ldap
                         - bgpd

              NOTE:
                 The port fields source_port and destination_port can be used as above to  select
                 either  a  single  value, either a list of values, but also they can select port
                 ranges. Example:

                     source_port:
                         - - 1000
                           - 2000
                         - - 3000
                           - 4000

                 With the configuration above, the user is  able  to  select  the  1000-2000  and
                 3000-4000 source port ranges.

              The output is a dictionary having the same form as net.load_config.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'edge01.bjm01' netacl.load_term_config filter-name term-name source_address=1.2.3.4 destination_address=5.6.7.8 action=accept test=True debug=True

              Output Example:

                 edge01.bjm01:
                     ----------

              New in version 2019.2.0.

              Replace content of the configuration source, delimited by the line markers.

              A block of content delimited by comments can help you manage several lines  without
              worrying about old entries removal.

              marker_start
                     The line content identifying a line as the start of the content block.  Note
                     that the whole line containing this marker will be considered, so whitespace
                     or extra content before or after the marker is included in final output.

              marker_end
                     The  line  content identifying a line as the end of the content block.  Note
                     that the whole line containing this marker will be considered, so whitespace
                     or extra content before or after the marker is included in final output.

              content
                     The  content to be used between the two lines identified by marker_start and
                     marker_stop.

              append_if_not_found: False
                     If markers are not found and set to True then, the markers and content  will
                     be appended to the file.

              prepend_if_not_found: False
                     If  markers are not found and set to True then, the markers and content will
                     be prepended to the file.

              append_newline: False
                     Controls whether or not a newline is appended to the content block.  If  the
                     value  of  this argument is True then a newline will be added to the content
                     block. If it is False, then a newline will  not  be  added  to  the  content
                     block.  If it is None then a newline will only be added to the content block
                     if it does not already end in a newline.

              show_changes: True
                     Controls how changes are presented. If True, this function will  return  the
                     of  the  changes made.  If False, then it will return a boolean (True if any
                     changes were made, otherwise False).

                 salt '*' net.config_changed

       salt.modules.napalm_network.config_control(inherit_napalm_device=None, **kwargs)
              Will check if the configuration was changed.  If differences  found,  will  try  to
              commit.  In case commit unsuccessful, will try to rollback.

              Returns
                     A    tuple   with   a   boolean   that   specifies   if   the   config   was
                     changed/committed/rollbacked on the device.    And a  string  that  provides
                     more details of the reason why the configuration was not committed properly.

              configuration, the file has higher precedence.

              By default this function will commit the changes. If there are no changes, it  does
              not commit and the flag already_configured will be set as True to point this out.

              To  avoid  committing  the  configuration,  set  the argument test to True and will
              discard (dry run).

              To keep the changes but not commit, set commit to False.

              To replace the config, set replace to True.

              test: False
                     Dry  run?  If  set  as  True,  will apply the config, discard and return the
                     changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

              commit: True
                     Commit? Default: True.

              debug: False

                        After  the  command  is executed and the diff is not satisfactory, or for
                        any other reasons you have to discard the commit, you are able to  do  so
                        using  the  net.cancel_commit  execution  function,  using  the commit ID
                        returned by this function.

                     WARNING:
                        Using this feature, Salt will load the exact  configuration  you  expect,
                        however  the  diff  may change in time (i.e., if an user applies a manual
                        configuration change, or a  different  process  or  command  changes  the
                        configuration in the meanwhile).

                     New in version 2019.2.0.

              commit_at: None
                     Commit  the  changes  at  a  specific time. Example of accepted formats: 1am

              Returns
                     a dictionary having the following keys:

              • result  (bool):  if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case
                of failure. In case     there are no  changes  to  be  applied  and  successfully
                performs   all   operations   it   is   still   True   and  so  will  be      the
                already_configured flag (example below)

              • comment (str): a message for the user

              • already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied

              • loaded_config (str): the configuration loaded on the device. Requires debug to be
                set as True

              • diff (str): returns the config changes applied

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' net.load_config text='ntp peer 192.168.0.1'
                 salt '*' net.load_config filename='/absolute/path/to/your/file'
                 salt '*' net.load_config filename='/absolute/path/to/your/file' test=True
                 salt '*' net.load_config filename='/absolute/path/to/your/file' commit=False

              Example output:

                 {
                     'comment': 'Configuration discarded.',
                     'already_configured': False,
                     'result': True,

                 }

              Renders  a  configuration  template  (default:  Jinja)  and loads the result on the
              device.

              By default this function will commit the changes. If there are no changes, it  does
              not  commit, discards he config and the flag already_configured will be set as True
              to point this out.

              To avoid committing the configuration, set the  argument  test  to  True  and  will
              discard (dry run).

              To  preserve  the changes, set commit to False.  However, this is recommended to be
              used only in exceptional cases when there are applied few consecutive states and/or
              configuration  changes.   Otherwise  the  user  might  forget that the config DB is
              locked and the candidate config buffer is not cleared/merged in the running config.

              To replace the config, set replace to True.

              template_name
                     Identifies path to the template source.  The template can be  either  stored
                     on  the  local  machine, either remotely.  The recommended location is under
                     the file_roots as specified in the master config file.  For  example,  let's
                     suppose the file_roots is configured as:

                        file_roots:
                          base:
                            - /etc/salt/states

                     Placing  the template under /etc/salt/states/templates/example.jinja, it can
                     be used as salt://templates/example.jinja.  Alternatively, for local  files,
                     the  user  can  specify  the  absolute path.  If remotely, the source can be
                     retrieved via http, https or ftp.

                     Examples:

                     • salt://my_template.jinja/absolute/path/to/my_template.jinjahttp://example.com/template.cheetahhttps:/example.com/template.makoftp://example.com/template.py

                     Changed in version 2019.2.0:  This  argument  can  now  support  a  list  of
                     templates  to  be  rendered.   The resulting configuration text is loaded at
                     once, as a single configuration chunk.

              template_source: None
                     Inline config template to be rendered and loaded on the device.

              template_hash: None
                     Hash of the template file. Format: {hash_type: 'md5', 'hsum': <md5sum>}

                        Similarly, if an user or a different process  apply  other  configuration
                        changes  in  the  meanwhile  (between  the moment you commit and till the
                        changes are reverted), these changes would be equally reverted,  as  Salt
                        cannot be aware of them.

                     New in version 2019.2.0.

              defaults: None
                     Default variables/context passed to the template.

                     New in version 2016.11.2.

              template_vars
                     Dictionary  with  the  arguments/context  to  be  used  when the template is
                     rendered.

                     NOTE:
                        Do not explicitly  specify  this  argument.  This  represents  any  other
                        variable  that will be sent to the template rendering system.  Please see
                        the examples below!

                     NOTE:
                        It is more recommended to use the context  argument  to  avoid  conflicts
                        between CLI arguments and template variables.

              Returns
                     a dictionary having the following keys:

              • result  (bool):  if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case
                of failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully  performs
                all  operations  it  is  still  True  and  so will be the already_configured flag
                (example below)

              • comment (str): a message for the user

              • already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied

              • loaded_config (str): the configuration loaded on the device, after rendering  the
                template. Requires debug to be set as True

              • diff (str): returns the config changes applied

              The template can use variables from the grains, pillar or opts, for example:

                 {% set router_model = grains.get('model') -%}
                 {% set router_vendor = grains.get('vendor') -%}
                 {% set os_version = grains.get('version') -%}
                 {% set hostname = pillar.get('proxy', {}).get('host') -%}
                 {% if router_vendor|lower == 'juniper' %}
                 system {
                     host-name {{hostname}};
                 }
                 {% elif router_vendor|lower == 'cisco' %}
                 hostname {{hostname}}
                 {% endif %}

       show_changes=True,  source='running',  path=None,  test=False,  commit=True,  debug=False,
       replace=True)
              New in version 2019.2.0.

              Apply  a  patch  to  the configuration source, and load the result into the running
              config of the device.

              patchfile
                     A patch file to apply to the configuration source.

              options
                     Options to pass to patch.

              source_hash
                     If the patch file (specified via the patchfile argument)  is an  HTTP(S)  or
                     FTP  URL  and the file exists in the minion's file cache, this option can be
                     passed to keep the minion from re-downloading the file if  the  cached  copy
                     matches the specified hash.

              show_changes: True
                     Controls  how  changes are presented. If True, this function will return the
                     of the changes made.  If False, then it will return a boolean (True  if  any
                     changes were made, otherwise False).

              source: running
                     The  configuration  source.  Choose  from:  running,  candidate, or startup.
                     Default: running.

              path: None
                     Save the temporary configuration to a specific path, then read  from  there.
                     This argument is optional, can the user prefers a particular location of the
                     temporary file.

              test: False
                     Dry run? If set as True, will apply  the  config,  discard  and  return  the
                     changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

              commit: True
                     Commit the configuration changes? Default: True.

              debug: False
                     Debug mode. Will insert a new key in the output dictionary, as loaded_config
                     containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

              replace: True
                     Load and replace the configuration. Default: True.

              CLI Example:

              timeout
                     Maximum wait time after sending final packet (seconds)

              size   Size of request packets (0..65468 bytes)

              count  Number of ping requests to send (1..2000000000 packets)

              vrf    VRF (routing instance) for ping attempt

                     New in version 2016.11.4.

                 salt '*' net.ping 8.8.8.8 source=127.0.0.1 timeout=1 count=100

       salt.modules.napalm_network.replace_pattern(pattern,  repl,  count=0,  flags=8, bufsize=1,
       append_if_not_found=False,       prepend_if_not_found=False,       not_found_content=None,
       search_only=False,  show_changes=True,  backslash_literal=False,  source=None,  path=None,
       test=False, replace=True, debug=False, commit=True)
              New in version 2019.2.0.

              Replace occurrences of a pattern in the configuration source.  If  show_changes  is
              True,  then  a  diff  of  what  changed  will be returned, otherwise a True will be
              returned when changes are made, and False when no changes are made.  This is a pure
              Python implementation that wraps Python's sub().

              pattern
                     A regular expression, to be matched using Python's search().

              repl   The replacement text.

              count: 0
                     Maximum number of pattern occurrences to be replaced. If count is a positive
                     integer n, only n occurrences will be replaced,  otherwise  all  occurrences
                     will be replaced.

              flags (list or int): 8
                     A  list  of  flags  defined  in  the re module documentation from the Python
                     standard library. Each list item should be a string that will  correlate  to
                     the human-friendly flag name. E.g., ['IGNORECASE', 'MULTILINE']. Optionally,
                     flags may be an int, with a value corresponding to the XOR (|)  of  all  the
                     desired flags. Defaults to 8 (which supports 'MULTILINE').

              bufsize (int or str): 1
                     How  much  of  the  configuration to buffer into memory at once. The default
                     value 1 processes one line  at  a  time.  The  special  value  file  may  be
                     specified which will read the entire file into memory before processing.

              append_if_not_found: False
                     If  set to True, and pattern is not found, then the content will be appended
                     to the file.

              prepend_if_not_found: False
                     If set to True and pattern is not found, then the content will be  prepended
                     to the file.

              not_found_content
                     Content  to  use  for  append/prepend  if not found. If None (default), uses
                     repl. Useful when repl uses references to group in pattern.

              search_only: False
                     If set to true, this no changes will be performed  on  the  file,  and  this
                     function  will  simply  return True if the pattern was matched, and False if
                     not.

              show_changes: True
                     If True, return a diff of changes made. Otherwise, return  True  if  changes
                     were made, and False if not.

              backslash_literal: False
                     Interpret  backslashes  as  literal  backslashes for the repl and not escape
                     characters.   This  will  help  when  using  append/prepend  so   that   the
                     backslashes are not interpreted for the repl on the second run of the state.

              source: running
                     The  configuration  source.  Choose  from:  running,  candidate, or startup.
                     Default: running.

              path   Save the temporary configuration to a specific path, then read from there.

              test: False
                     Dry run? If set as True, will apply  the  config,  discard  and  return  the
                     changes. Default: False and will commit the changes on the device.

              commit: True
                     Commit the configuration changes? Default: True.

              debug: False
                     Debug mode. Will insert a new key in the output dictionary, as loaded_config
                     containing the raw configuration loaded on the device.

                     Load and replace the configuration. Default: True.

              If an equal sign (=) appears in an argument to a Salt command it is interpreted  as
              a  keyword argument in the format key=val. That processing can be bypassed in order
              to pass an equal sign through to the remote shell command  by  manually  specifying
              the kwarg:

       salt.modules.napalm_probes.delete_probes(probes, test=False, commit=True, **kwargs)
              Removes  RPM/SLA  probes from the network device.  Calls the configuration template
              'delete_probes' from the NAPALM  library,  providing  as  input  a  rich  formatted
              dictionary  with  the  configuration  details  of the probes to be removed from the

              Parametersprobes -- Dictionary with a similar format as the output dictionary of the
                       function config(), where the details are not necessary.

                     • test -- Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return
                       the changes. Default: False

                     • commit -- Commit? (default: True) Sometimes it is not needed to commit the
                       config immediately after loading the changes. E.g.: a state loads a couple
                       of parts (add / remove / update) and would not be optimal to commit  after
                       each  operation.   Also,  from  the  CLI  when the user needs to apply the
                       similar changes before committing, can specify commit=False and  will  not
                       discard the config.

              Raises MergeConfigException -- If there is an error on the configuration sent.

              Returns
                     A dictionary having the following keys:

              • result  (bool):  if the config was applied successfully. It is False only in case
                of failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully  performs
                all  operations  it  is  still  True  and  so will be the already_configured flag
                (example below)

              • comment (str): a message for the user

              • already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied

       salt.modules.napalm_probes.schedule_probes(probes, test=False, commit=True, **kwargs)
              Will schedule the probes. On Cisco devices, it is not enough to define the  probes,
              it is also necessary to schedule them.

              This  function  calls  the  configuration  template schedule_probes from the NAPALM
              library, providing as input a rich formatted  dictionary  with  the  names  of  the
              probes and the tests to be scheduled.

              Parametersprobes -- Dictionary with a similar format as the output dictionary of the
                       function config(), where the details are not necessary.

                     • test -- Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return
                       the changes. Default: False

                     • commit -- Commit? (default: True) Sometimes it is not needed to commit the
                       config immediately after loading the changes. E.g.: a state loads a couple
                       of  parts (add / remove / update) and would not be optimal to commit after
                       each operation.  Also, from the CLI when  the  user  needs  to  apply  the
                       similar  changes  before committing, can specify commit=False and will not
                       discard the config.

              Raises MergeConfigException -- If there is an error on the configuration sent.

              Returns
                     a dictionary having the following keys:

              • result (bool): if the config was applied successfully. It is False only  in  case
                of  failure. In case there are no changes to be applied and successfully performs
                all operations it is still True  and  so  will  be  the  already_configured  flag
                (example below)

              • comment (str): a message for the user

              • already_configured (bool): flag to check if there were no changes applied

              • diff (str): returns the config changes applied

              Input example:

                 probes = {

                     }
                 }

       salt.modules.napalm_probes.set_probes(probes, test=False, commit=True, **kwargs)
              Configures  RPM/SLA  probes  on  the  device.   Calls  the  configuration  template
              'set_probes'  from  the  NAPALM  library,  providing  as  input  a  rich  formatted
              dictionary with the configuration details of the probes to be configured.

              Parametersprobes -- Dictionary formatted as the output of the function config()

                     • test -- Dry run? If set as True, will apply the config, discard and return

              Raises MergeConfigException -- If there is an error on the configuration sent.

              Return a dictionary having the following keys

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       salt.modules.napalm_route.show(destination, protocol=None, **kwargs)
              Displays all details for a certain route learned via a specific protocol.   If  the
              protocol is not specified, will return all possible routes.

              NOTE:
                 This function return the routes from the RIB.  In case the destination prefix is
                 too short, there may be too many routes matched.  Therefore in cases of  devices
                 having  a  very  high  number of routes it may be necessary to adjust the prefix
                 length and request using a longer prefix.

              destination
                     destination prefix.

              protocol (optional)
                     protocol used to learn the routes to the destination.

              Changed in version 2017.7.0.

   Netmiko Execution Module
       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Execution module to interface the connection with a remote network device. It is  flexible
       enough  to execute the commands both when running under a Netmiko Proxy Minion, as well as
       running under a Regular Minion by specifying the connection arguments, i.e.,  device_type,
       ip, username, password etc.

              new

       depends
              netmiko

       platform
              unix

   Dependencies
       The netmiko proxy modules requires Netmiko to be installed: pip install netmiko.

   Usage
       This  module  can  equally  be used via the netmiko Proxy module (check documentation), or
       directly from an arbitrary (Proxy) Minion that is running on a  server  (computer)  having
       access to the network device, and has the netmiko library installed.

       When  running  outside  of  the  netmiko  Proxy  (i.e., from another Proxy Minion type, or
       regular Minion), the netmiko connection arguments can be either  specified  from  the  CLI
       when  executing  the  command,  or  in  a configuration block under the netmiko key in the
       configuration opts (i.e., (Proxy)  Minion  configuration  file),  or  Pillar.  The  module
       supports  these  simultaneously.  These fields are the exact same supported by the netmiko
       Proxy Module:

       • session_timeout - Set a timeout for parallel requests, in seconds (default: 60)

       • keepalive - Send SSH keepalive packets at a specific  interval,  in  seconds.  Currently
         defaults  to  0, for backwards compatibility (it will not attempt to keep the connection
         alive using the KEEPALIVE packets).

       • default_enter - Character(s) to send to correspond to enter key (default: \n)

       • response_return - Character(s) to use in normalized return data to represent  enter  key
         (default: \n)

       Example (when not running in a netmiko Proxy Minion):

          netmiko:
            username: test
            password: test

       In  case the username and password are the same on any device you are targeting, the block
       above (besides other parameters specific  to  your  environment  you  might  need)  should
       suffice to be able to execute commands from outside a netmiko Proxy, e.g.:

          salt '*' netmiko.send_command 'show version' host=router1.example.com device_type=juniper
          salt '*' netmiko.send_config https://bit.ly/2sgljCB host=sw2.example.com device_type=cisco_ios

       NOTE:
          Remember that the above applies only when not running in a netmiko Proxy Minion. If you
          want to use the <salt.proxy.netmiko_px>, please follow the documentation  notes  for  a
          proper setup.

              template_engine: jinja
                     The template engine to use when rendering the source file.  Default:  jinja.
                     To  simply fetch the file without attempting to render, set this argument to
                     None.

              commit: False
                     Commit the configuration changes before exiting the config mode. This option
                     is  by  default  disabled,  as  many  platforms  don't  have this capability
                     natively.

              context
                     Variables to add to the template context.

              defaults

              max_loops: 150
                     Controls wait time in conjunction with delay_factor (default: 150).

              strip_prompt: False
                     Determines whether or not to strip the prompt (default: False).

              strip_command: False
                     Determines whether or not to strip the command (default: False).

              config_mode_command
                     The command to enter into config mode.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' netmiko.send_config config_commands="['interface GigabitEthernet3', 'no ip address']"
                 salt '*' netmiko.send_config config_commands="['snmp-server location {{ grains.location }}']"

                   keystone.region_name: 'RegionOne'
                   keystone.service_type: 'network'

                   keystone.service_type: 'network'

              With this configuration in place, any of the neutron functions can make  use  of  a
              configuration profile by declaring it explicitly.  For example:

                 salt '*' neutron.network_list profile=openstack1

              To use keystoneauth1 instead of keystoneclient, include the use_keystoneauth option
              in the pillar or minion config.

              NOTE:
                 this is required to use keystone v3 as for authentication.

                 keystone.user: admin
                 keystone.password: verybadpass
                 keystone.tenant: admin

                 keystone.region_name: 'RegionOne'
                 keystone.service_type: 'network'
                 keystone.use_keystoneauth: true
                 keystone.verify: '/path/to/custom/certs/ca-bundle.crt'

              Note: by default the neutron module will attempt to verify its connection utilizing
              the  system  certificates.  If  you  need  to  verify  against another bundle of CA
              certificates or want to skip verification altogether you will need to  specify  the
              verify  option.  You  can  specify  True or False to verify (or not) against system
              certificates, a path to a bundle or CA certs to check against,  or  None  to  allow
              keystoneauth to search for the certificates on its own.(defaults to True)

                     None will be transformed to -1.

              protocol
                     The  protocol  that is matched by the security group rule.  Valid values are
                     None, tcp, udp, and icmp.

              remote_ip_prefix
                     The remote IP prefix to be associated with this security group  rule.   This
                     attribute matches the specified IP prefix as the source IP address of the IP
                     packet.

              remote_group_id
                     The remote group ID to be associated with this security group rule

              direction
                     Either ingress or egress; the direction in which the security group rule  is
                     applied.  For  a compute instance, an ingress security group rule is applied

              Add an export

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' nfs3.add_export path='/srv/test' hosts='127.0.0.1' options=['rw']

       salt.modules.nfs3.del_export(exports='/etc/exports', path=None)
              Remove an export

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.nfs3.list_exports(exports='/etc/exports')
              List configured exports

              CLI Example:

   salt.modules.nftables
       Support for nftables

       salt.modules.nftables.append(table='filter', chain=None, rule=None, family='ipv4')
              Append a rule to the specified table & chain.

              This function accepts a rule in a standard nftables command format,
                     starting  with  the chain. Trying to force users to adapt to a new method of
                     creating rules would be irritating at best, and we  already  have  a  parser
                     that can handle it.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' nftables.append filter input \
                     rule='tcp dport 22 log accept'

                 IPv6:
                 salt '*' nftables.append filter input \
                     rule='tcp dport 22 log accept' \
                     family=ipv6

       salt.modules.nftables.build_rule(table=None,    chain=None,   command=None,   position='',
       full=None, family='ipv4', **kwargs)
              Build a well-formatted nftables rule based on kwargs.  A table and  chain  are  not
              required, unless full is True.

              If  full  is  True,  then  table,  chain  and command are required.  command may be
              specified as either insert, append, or  delete.   This  will  return  the  nftables
              command, exactly as it would be used from the command line.

              If  a  position  is  required  (as  with  insert or delete), it may be specified as
              position. This will only be useful if full is True.

              If connstate is passed in, it will automatically be changed to state.

   salt.modules.nix
   Work with Nix packages
       New in version 2017.7.0.

       Does not require the machine to be Nixos, just have Nix installed and available to use for
       the  user  running  this  command.  Their  profile  must  be  located in their home, under
       $HOME/.nix-profile/, and the nix store, unless specially set up, should  be  in  /nix.  To
       easily use this with multiple users or a root user, set up the nix-daemon.

       This  module exposes most of the common nix operations. Currently not meant to be run as a
       pkg module, but explicitly as nix.*.

       For more information on nix, see the nix documentation.

       salt.modules.nix.collect_garbage()
              Completely removed all currently 'uninstalled' packages in the nix store.

              Tells the user how many store paths were removed and how much space was freed.

              Returns
                     How much space was freed and how many derivations were removed

              Return type
                     str

              WARNING:
                 This is a destructive action on the nix store.

                 salt '*' nix.collect_garbage

       salt.modules.nix.install(*pkgs, **kwargs)
              Installs a single or multiple packages via nix

              Parameterspkgs (list(str)) -- packages to update

                     • attributes (bool) -- Pass the  list  of  packages  or  single  package  as
                       attribues, not package names.  default: False

              Returns
                     Installed packages. Example element: gcc-3.3.2

              Return type

                 salt '*' nix.install package [package2 ...]
                 salt '*' nix.install attributes=True attr.name [attr.name2 ...]

       salt.modules.nix.list_pkgs(installed=True, attributes=True)
              Lists installed packages. Due to how nix works, it defaults to just doing a nix-env
              -q.

              Parametersinstalled (bool) -- list only installed packages. This can be a very  long
                       list (12,000+ elements), so caution is advised.  Default: True

                     • attributes  (bool) -- show the attributes of the packages when listing all
                       packages.  Default: True

                 salt '*' nix.list_pkgs installed=False

       salt.modules.nix.uninstall(*pkgs)
              Erases a package from the current nix profile. Nix uninstalls work differently than
              other  package  managers,  and  the  symlinks in the profile are removed, while the
              actual package remains. There is also a nix.purge function, to  clear  the  package
              cache of unused packages.

              Parameters
                     pkgs (list(str)) -- List, single package to uninstall

              Returns
                     Packages that have been uninstalled

              Return type

                 salt '*' nix.uninstall pkg1 [pkg2 ...]

       salt.modules.nix.upgrade(*pkgs)
              Runs  an  update  operation  on  the specified packages, or all packages if none is
              specified.

              Parameters
                     pkgs (list(str)) -- List of packages to update

              Returns
                     The upgraded packages. Example element: ['libxslt-1.1.0', 'libxslt-1.1.10']

   salt.modules.nova
       Module for handling OpenStack Nova calls

       depends

              • novaclient Python module

       configuration
              This module is not usable until the  user,  password,  tenant,  and  auth  URL  are
              specified either in a pillar or in the minion's config file.  For example:

                 keystone.user: admin
                 keystone.password: verybadpass
                 keystone.tenant: admin
                 keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'
                 # Optional
                 keystone.region_name: 'RegionOne'

              If configuration for multiple OpenStack accounts is required, they can be set up as
              different configuration profiles: For example:

                 openstack1:
                   keystone.user: admin
                   keystone.password: verybadpass
                   keystone.tenant: admin
                   keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'

                 openstack2:
                   keystone.user: admin
                   keystone.password: verybadpass
                   keystone.tenant: admin
                   keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.2:5000/v2.0/'

              With this configuration in place, any of the nova  functions  can  make  use  of  a
              configuration profile by declaring it explicitly.  For example:

                 salt '*' nova.flavor_list profile=openstack1

              To use keystoneauth1 instead of keystoneclient, include the use_keystoneauth option
              in the pillar or minion config.

              NOTE:
                 This is required to use keystone v3 as for authentication.

                 keystone.user: admin
                 keystone.password: verybadpass
                 keystone.tenant: admin
                 keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v3/'
                 keystone.use_keystoneauth: true
                 keystone.verify: '/path/to/custom/certs/ca-bundle.crt'

              NOTE:
                 By default the nova module will attempt to verify its connection  utilizing  the
                 system  certificates.  If  you  need  to  verify  against  another  bundle of CA
                 certificates or want to skip verification altogether you will  need  to  specify
                 the  verify  option.  You  can  specify True or False to verify (or not) against
                 system certificates, a path to a bundle or CA certs to check against, or None to
                 allow keystoneauth to search for the certificates on its own. (defaults to True)

   salt.modules.nspawn
       Manage nspawn containers

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       systemd-nspawn(1)  is  a  tool  used  to  manage  lightweight  namespace  containers. This
       execution module provides several functions to help manage these containers.

       Minions running systemd >= 219 will place new containers in /var/lib/machines, while those
       running systemd < 219 will place them in /var/lib/container.

       salt.modules.nspawn.bootstrap_container(name, dist=None, version=None)
              Bootstrap  a  container  from package servers, if dist is None the os the minion is
              running as will be created, otherwise the needed bootstrapping tools will  need  to
              be available on the host.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion nspawn.bootstrap_container <name>

       salt.modules.nspawn.bootstrap_salt(name,   config=None,   approve_key=True,  install=True,

       unconditional_install=False,           bootstrap_delay=None,          bootstrap_args=None,
       bootstrap_shell=None)
              Bootstrap a container from package servers, if dist is None the os  the  minion  is
              running  as  will be created, otherwise the needed bootstrapping tools will need to
              be available on the host.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' nspawn.bootstrap_salt arch1

       salt.modules.nspawn.copy_to(name, source, dest, overwrite=False, makedirs=False)

              name   Container name

              source File to be copied to the container

              dest   Destination on the container. Must be an absolute path.

              overwrite
                     False Unless this option is set to True,  then  if  a  file  exists  at  the
                     location specified by the dest argument, an error will be raised.

              makedirs : False
                 Create the parent directory on the container if it does not already exist.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'minion' nspawn.copy_to /tmp/foo /root/foo

       salt.modules.nspawn.cp(name, source, dest, overwrite=False, makedirs=False)
              This function is an alias of copy_to.
                 Copy a file from the host into a container

                 name   Container name

                 source File to be copied to the container

                 dest   Destination on the container. Must be an absolute path.

                 overwrite
                        False  Unless  this  option  is set to True, then if a file exists at the
                        location specified by the dest argument, an error will be raised.

                 makedirs : False

       salt.modules.nspawn.destroy(name, stop=False)
              This function is an alias of remove.
                 Remove the named container

                 WARNING:
                     This function will remove all data associated with the  container.  It  will
                     not,  however,  remove  the  btrfs  subvolumes  created by pulling container
                     images (nspawn.pull_raw, nspawn.pull_tar, nspawn.pull_dkr).

                 stop   False  If  True,  the  container  will  be  destroyed  even  if   it   is
                        running/frozen.

                 salt myminion nspawn.exists <name>

       salt.modules.nspawn.info(name, **kwargs)
              Return info about a container

              NOTE:
                 The  container must be running for machinectl to gather information about it. If
                 the container is stopped, then this function will start it.

              start  False If True, then the container will be started to retrieve  the  info.  A
                     Started key will be in the return data if the container was started.

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion nspawn.info arch1
                 salt myminion nspawn.info arch1 force_start=False

       salt.modules.nspawn.list_()
              This function is an alias of list_running.

              on the named container.

              For convenience, running nspawn.stop``(as shown  in  the  CLI  examples  below)  is
              equivalent to running ``nspawn.poweroff.

              NOTE:
                 machinectl  poweroff  is  only  supported  in systemd >= 219. On earlier systemd
                 versions,  running  this  function  will  simply  issue  a  clean  shutdown  via
                 systemctl.

                 salt myminion nspawn.start <name>

       salt.modules.nspawn.state(name)
              Return state of container (running or stopped)

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion nspawn.state <name>

       salt.modules.nspawn.stop(name, kill=False)
              This is a compatibility function which provides the logic for  nspawn.poweroff  and
              nspawn.terminate.

       salt.modules.nspawn.terminate(name)
              Kill  all  processes in the container without issuing a clean shutdown.  Equivalent
              to running machinectl terminate on the named container.

              For convenience, running nspawn.stop and passing kill=True (as  shown  in  the  CLI
              examples below) is equivalent to running nspawn.terminate.

              NOTE:
                 machinectl  terminate  is  only  supported in systemd >= 219. On earlier systemd
                 versions,  running  this  function  will  simply  issue  a  clean  shutdown  via
                 systemctl.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion nspawn.terminate arch1
                 salt myminion nspawn.stop arch1 kill=True

   salt.modules.nxos
       Execution module for Cisco NX OS Switches.

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       This module supports execution using a Proxy Minion or Native Minion:
              1) Proxy Minion: Connect over SSH or NX-API HTTP(S).  See salt.proxy.nxos for proxy
              minion setup details.  2) Native Minion: Connect over  NX-API  Unix  Domain  Socket
              (UDS).  Install the minion inside the GuestShell running on the NX-OS device.

       maturity
              new

       platform
              nxos

       NOTE:
          To  use  this module over remote NX-API the feature must be enabled on the NX-OS device
          by executing feature nxapi in configuration mode.

          This is not required for NX-API over UDS.

          Configuration example:

              switch# conf t
              switch(config)# feature nxapi

          To check that NX-API is properly enabled, execute show nxapi.

          Output example:

              switch# show nxapi
              nxapi enabled
              HTTPS Listen on port 443

       Native minion configuration options:

          nxos:
            cookie: 'username'
            save_config: False

       cookie Use the option to override the default cookie 'admin:local'  when  connecting  over
              UDS  and  use 'username:local' instead. This is needed when running the salt-minion
              in the GuestShell using a non-admin user.

              This option is ignored for SSH and NX-API Proxy minions.

       save_config:
              If True, 'copy running-config starting-config' is issues  for  every  configuration
              command.  If False, Running config is not saved to startup config Default: True

              The recommended approach is to use the save_running_config function instead of this
              option to improve performance.  The default behavior controlled by this  option  is
              preserved for backwards compatibility.

       The  APIs  defined  in this execution module can also be executed using salt-call from the
       GuestShell environment as follows.

          salt-call --local nxos.show 'show lldp neighbors' raw_text

       NOTE:
          The functions in this module should be executed like so:

          salt '*' nxos.<function> salt '*' nxos.get_user username=admin

          For backwards compatibility, the following syntax will  be  supported  until  the  3001
          release.

          salt '*' nxos.cmd <function> salt '*' nxos.cmd get_user username=admin

       salt.modules.nxos.add_config(lines, **kwargs)
              Add one or more config lines to the NX-OS device running config.

              lines  Configuration lines to add

              save_config
                     If  False,  don't  save configuration commands to startup configuration.  If
                     True, save configuration to startup configuration.  Default: True

                 salt '*' nxos.add_config 'snmp-server community TESTSTRINGHERE group network-operator'

              NOTE:
                 For more than one config added per command, lines should be a list.

       salt.modules.nxos.check_password(username, password, encrypted=False, **kwargs)
              Verify user password.

              username
                     Username on which to perform password check

              password
                     Password to check

              encrypted
                     Whether or not the password is encrypted Default: False

       salt.modules.nxos.check_role(username, role, **kwargs)
              Verify role assignment for user.

                 salt '*' nxos.check_role username=admin role=network-admin

       salt.modules.nxos.cmd(command, *args, **kwargs)
              NOTE: This function is preserved for backwards compatibility.  This allows commands
              to be executed using either of the following syntactic forms.

              salt '*' nxos.cmd <function>

              or

              salt '*' nxos.<function>

              command
                     function from salt.modules.nxos to run

              args   positional args to pass to command function

              kwargs key word arguments to pass to command function

              Configures the Nexus switch with the specified commands.

              This method is used to send configuration commands to the  switch.   It  will  take
              either  a  string  or  a list and prepend the necessary commands to put the session
              into config mode.

              WARNING:
                 All the commands will be applied directly to the running-config.

              config_file
                     The source file with the configuration commands to be sent to the device.

                     The file can also be a template that can  be  rendered  using  the  template
                     engine of choice.

                     This  can  be specified using the absolute path to the file, or using one of
                     the following URL schemes:

                     • salt://, to fetch the file from the Salt fileserver.

                     • http:// or https://ftp://s3://swift://

              commands
                     The commands to send to the switch in config mode.  If the commands argument
                     is  a  string  it will be cast to a list.  The list of commands will also be
                     prepended with the necessary commands to put the session in config mode.

                     NOTE:
                        This argument is ignored when config_file is specified.

              template_engine: jinja
                     The template engine to use when rendering the source file.  Default:  jinja.
                     To  simply fetch the file without attempting to render, set this argument to
                     None.

              context
                     Variables to add to the template context.

              defaults
                     Default values of the context_dict.

              save_config

   salt.modules.nxos_api
       Execution module to manage Cisco Nexus Switches (NX-OS) over the NX-API

       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Execution module used to interface the interaction with a remote  or  local  Nexus  switch
       whether  we're  running  in  a  Proxy  Minion or regular Minion (or regular Minion running
       directly on the Nexus switch).

       codeauthor
              Mircea Ulinic <ping@mirceaulinic.net>

       maturity
              new

       platform
              any

       NOTE:
          To be able to use this module you need to enable to NX-API on your switch, by executing
          feature nxapi in configuration mode.

          Configuration example:

              switch# conf t
              switch(config)# feature nxapi

          To check that NX-API is properly enabled, execute show nxapi.

          Output example:

              switch# show nxapi
              nxapi enabled
              HTTPS Listen on port 443

       NOTE:
          NX-API  requires  modern  NXOS  distributions,  typically at least 7.0 depending on the
          hardware. Due to reliability reasons it is recommended to run the most recent version.

          Check
          https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus7000/sw/programmability/guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_7000_Series_NX-OS_Programmability_Guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_7000_Series_NX-OS_Programmability_Guide_chapter_0101.html
          for more details.

   Usage
       This module can equally be used  via  the  nxos_api  Proxy  module  or  directly  from  an
       arbitrary  (Proxy) Minion that is running on a machine having access to the network device
       API. Given that there are no external dependencies, this module can very  well  used  when
       using the regular Salt Minion directly installed on the switch.

       When  running  outside  of  the  nxos_api  Proxy (i.e., from another Proxy Minion type, or
       regular Minion), the NX-API connection arguments can be either specified from the CLI when
       executing  the  command,  or  in  a  configuration  block  under  the  nxos_api key in the
       configuration opts (i.e., (Proxy)  Minion  configuration  file),  or  Pillar.  The  module
       supports  these  simultaneously. These fields are the exact same supported by the nxos_api
       Proxy Module:

       transport: https
              Specifies the type of connection transport to use. Valid values for the  connection
              are http, and  https.

       host: localhost
              The IP address or DNS host name of the connection device.

       username: admin
              The username to pass to the device to authenticate the NX-API connection.

       password
              The password to pass to the device to authenticate the NX-API connection.

       port   The  TCP  port  of  the  endpoint for the NX-API connection. If this keyword is not
              specified, the default value is automatically determined by the transport type  (80
              for http, or 443 for https).

       timeout: 60
              Time in seconds to wait for the device to respond. Default: 60 seconds.

       verify: True
              Either  a  boolean,  in  which  case  it  controls whether we verify the NX-API TLS
              certificate, or a string, in which case it must be a path to a CA  bundle  to  use.
              Defaults to True.

              When  there is no certificate configuration on the device and this option is set as
              True (default), the commands will fail with the following  error:  SSLError:  [SSL:
              CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED]  certificate  verify failed (_ssl.c:581).  In this case,
              you either need to configure a proper certificate on the device  (recommended),  or
              bypass  the  checks  setting  this  argument  as  False with all the security risks
              considered.

              Check
              https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/datacenter/nexus3000/sw/programmability/6_x/b_Cisco_Nexus_3000_Series_NX-OS_Programmability_Guide/b_Cisco_Nexus_3000_Series_NX-OS_Programmability_Guide_chapter_01.html
              to see how to properly configure the certificate.

       Example (when not running in a nxos_api Proxy Minion):

          nxos_api:
            username: test
            password: test

       In case the username and password are the same on any device you are targeting, the  block
       above  (besides  other  parameters  specific  to  your  environment you might need) should
       suffice to be able to execute commands from outside a nxos_api Proxy, e.g.:

          salt-call --local nxos_api.show 'show lldp neighbors' raw_text
          # The command above is available when running in a regular Minion where Salt is installed

          salt '*' nxos_api.show 'show version' raw_text=False

       NOTE:
          Remember that the above applies only when not running in a nxos_api  Proxy  Minion.  If
          you  want to use the nxos_api Proxy, please follow the documentation notes for a proper
          setup.

       salt.modules.nxos_api.config(commands=None,   config_file=None,   template_engine='jinja',
       context=None, defaults=None, saltenv='base', **kwargs)
              Configures the Nexus switch with the specified commands.

              This  method  is  used  to send configuration commands to the switch.  It will take
              either a string or a list and prepend the necessary commands  to  put  the  session
              into config mode.

              WARNING:
                 All the commands will be applied directly into the running-config.

              config_file
                     The source file with the configuration commands to be sent to the device.

                     The  file  can  also  be  a template that can be rendered using the template
                     engine of choice.

                     This can be specified using the absolute path to the file, or using  one  of
                     the following URL schemes:

                     • salt://, to fetch the file from the Salt fileserver.

                     • http:// or https://ftp://s3://swift://

              commands
                     The commands to send to the switch in config mode.  If the commands argument
                     is a string it will be cast to a list.  The list of commands  will  also  be
                     prepended with the necessary commands to put the session in config mode.

                     NOTE:
                        This argument is ignored when config_file is specified.

              template_engine: jinja
                     The  template  engine to use when rendering the source file. Default: jinja.
                     To simply fetch the file without attempting to render, set this argument  to
                     None.

              context
                     Variables to add to the template context.

              defaults
                     Default values of the context_dict.

              transport: https
                     Specifies  the  type  of  connection  transport to use. Valid values for the
                     connection are http, and  https.

              host: localhost
                     The IP address or DNS host name of the connection device.

              username: admin
                     The username to pass to the device to authenticate the NX-API connection.

              password
                     The password to pass to the device to authenticate the NX-API connection.

              port   The TCP port of the endpoint for the NX-API connection. If this  keyword  is
                     not  specified,  the  default  value  is  automatically  determined  by  the
                     transport type (80 for http, or 443 for https).

              timeout: 60
                     Time in seconds to wait for the device to respond. Default: 60 seconds.

              verify: True
                     Either a boolean, in which case it controls whether we verify the NX-API TLS
                     certificate,  or a string, in which case it must be a path to a CA bundle to
                     use. Defaults to True.

       NOTE:
          To  use  this module over remote NX-API the feature must be enabled on the NX-OS device
          by executing feature nxapi in configuration mode.

          This is not required for NX-API over UDS.

          Configuration example:

              switch# conf t
              switch(config)# feature nxapi

          To check that NX-API is properly enabled, execute show nxapi.

          Output example:

              switch# show nxapi
              nxapi enabled

   salt.modules.openbsdpkg
       Package support for OpenBSD

       NOTE:
          The  package  repository  is configured on each host using /etc/installurl from OpenBSD
          6.1 onwards. Earlier releases relied on /etc/pkg.conf.

       Changed in version 2016.3.5: Package  versions  on  OpenBSD  are  not  normally  specified
       explicitly;  instead packages may be available in multiple flavors, and branches which are
       specified by the format of the package name. This  module  allows  you  to  use  the  same
       formatting  as pkg_add(1), and will select the empty flavor and default branch by default.
       Examples:

          - rsync
          - vim--no_x11
          - ruby%2.3

       salt.modules.openbsdpkg.install(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, **kwargs)

              CLI Example, Install one package:

                 salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

              CLI Example, Install more than one package:

                 salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["<package name>", "<package name>"]'

              CLI Example, Install more than one package from  a  alternate  source  (e.g.   salt
              file-server, HTTP, FTP, local filesystem):

                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>"}]'

   salt.modules.opkg
       Support for Opkg

       IMPORTANT:
          If  you  feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and
          it is using a different module (or gives an  error  similar  to  'pkg.install'  is  not
          available), see here.

       New in version 2016.3.0.

       NOTE:
          For  version  comparison  support  on  opkg  <  0.3.4,  the  opkg-utils package must be
          installed.

       salt.modules.opkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              Return  the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade   or
              installation.  If  more  than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version
              pairs is returned.

              If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will
              be returned for that package.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

       salt.modules.opkg.check_extra_requirements(pkgname, pkgver)
              Check if the installed package already has the given requirements.  There's nothing
              do to here for nipkg.py, therefore it will always return True.

       salt.modules.opkg.del_repo(repo, **kwargs)
              Delete a repo from /etc/opkg/*.conf

              If the file does not contain any other repo configuration, the file itself will  be
              deleted.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.del_repo repo

       salt.modules.opkg.file_dict(*packages, **kwargs)
              List  the  files  that  belong to a package, grouped by package. Not specifying any
              packages will return a list of _every_ file on the system's package  database  (not
              generally recommended).

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd

       reinstall=False, **kwargs)
              Install the passed package, add refresh=True to update the opkg database.

              name   The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored
                     if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this
                     option  can  only be used to install packages from a software repository. To
                     install a package file manually, use the "sources" option.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

              version
                     Install a specific version of the package, e.g. 1.2.3~0ubuntu0.  Ignored  if
                     "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

                     New in version 2017.7.0.

              reinstall
                     False  Specifying  reinstall=True  will  use  opkg install --force-reinstall
                     rather than simply opkg install for  requested  packages  that  are  already
                     installed.

                     If  a  version  is  specified  with the requested package, then opkg install
                     --force-reinstall will only be used if the  installed  version  matches  the
                     requested version.

       Module for sending data to OpsGenie

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       configuration
              This module can be used in Reactor  System  for  posting  data  to  OpsGenie  as  a
              remote-execution function.

              For example:

                 opsgenie_event_poster:
                   local.opsgenie.post_data:
                     - tgt: 'salt-minion'
                     - kwarg:
                         name: event.reactor
                         api_key: XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX
                         reason: {{ data['data']['reason'] }}
                         action_type: Create

       salt.modules.opsgenie.post_data(api_key=None,     name='OpsGenie     Execution    Module',
       reason=None, action_type=None)
              Post data to OpsGenie. It's designed for Salt's Event Reactor.

              After configuring the sls reaction file as shown above, you can trigger the  module
              with your designated tag (og-tag in this case).

              CLI Example:

                 salt-call event.send 'og-tag' '{"reason" : "Overheating CPU!"}'

              Required parameters:

              api_key
                     It's the API Key you've copied while adding integration in OpsGenie.

              reason It will be used as alert's default message in OpsGenie.

              action_type
                     OpsGenie  supports  the default values Create/Close for action_type. You can
                     customize this field with OpsGenie's custom actions for other purposes  like
                     adding notes or acknowledging alerts.

              Optional parameters:

              name   It will be used as alert's alias. If you want to use the close functionality
                     you must provide name field for both states like in this case.

   salt.modules.out
   Output Module
       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Execution module that processes JSON serializable  data  and  returns  string  having  the
       format as processed by the outputters.

       Although  this  does  not bring much value on the CLI, it turns very handy in applications
       that require human readable data rather than Python objects.

       For example, inside a Jinja template:

          {{ salt.out.string_format(complex_object, out='highstate') }}

       salt.modules.out.html_format(data, out='nested', opts=None, **kwargs)
              Return the formatted string as HTML.

              data   The JSON serializable object.

              out: nested
                     The name of the output to use to transform the data. Default: nested.

              opts   Dictionary of configuration options. Default: __opts__.

              kwargs Arguments to sent to the outputter module.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' out.html_format "{'key': 'value'}" out=yaml

       salt.modules.out.out_format(data, out='nested', opts=None, **kwargs)
              Return the formatted outputter string for the Python object.

              data   The JSON serializable object.

              out: nested
                     The name of the output to use to transform the data. Default: nested.

              opts   Dictionary of configuration options. Default: __opts__.

              kwargs Arguments to sent to the outputter module.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' out.out_format "{'key': 'value'}"

       salt.modules.out.string_format(data, out='nested', opts=None, **kwargs)
              Return the outputter formatted string, removing the ANSI escape sequences.

              data   The JSON serializable object.

              out: nested
                     The name of the output to use to transform the data. Default: nested.

              opts   Dictionary of configuration options. Default: __opts__.

              kwargs Arguments to sent to the outputter module.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' out.string_format "{'key': 'value'}" out=table

   salt.modules.pacmanpkg
       A    module    to    wrap    pacman    calls,    since    Arch    is    the    best     (‐
       https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_is_the_best)

       IMPORTANT:
          If  you  feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and
          it is using a different module (or gives an  error  similar  to  'pkg.install'  is  not
          available), see here.

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of latest_version.
                 Return  the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for upgrade or
                 installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version
                 pairs is returned.

                 If  the  latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string
                 will be returned for that package.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.file_dict(*packages, **kwargs)
              List the files that belong to a package, grouped by  package.  Not  specifying  any
              packages  will  return a list of _every_ file on the system's package database (not
              generally recommended).

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.file_list(*packages, **kwargs)
              List the files that belong to a package. Not specifying any packages will return  a
              list of _every_ file on the system's package database (not generally recommended).

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.group_diff(name)
              New in version 2016.11.0.

              Lists which of a group's packages are installed and which are not installed

              Compatible with yumpkg.group_diff for easy support of state.pkg.group_installed

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.group_diff 'xorg'

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.group_info(name)
              New in version 2016.11.0.

              Lists all packages in the specified group

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.group_info 'xorg'

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.group_list()
              New in version 2016.11.0.

              Lists all groups known by pacman on this system

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.group_list

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.install(name=None,   refresh=False,   sysupgrade=None,   pkgs=None,
       sources=None, **kwargs)
              Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions  running  systemd>=205,
              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from
              the salt-minion daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd  from  killing
              any pacman commands spawned by Salt when the salt-minion service is restarted. (see
              KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of
              systemd-run(1)  can  be suppressed by setting a config option called systemd.scope,
              with a value of False (no quotes).

              Install (pacman -S) the specified packag(s). Add refresh=True to install  with  -y,
              add sysupgrade=True to install with -u.

              name   The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored
                     if either pkgs or sources is passed. Additionally,  please  note  that  this
                     option  can  only be used to install packages from a software repository. To
                     install a package file manually, use the sources option.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

              refresh
                     Whether or not to refresh the package database before installing.

              sysupgrade
                     Whether or not to upgrade the system packages before installing.  If refresh
                     is set to True but sysupgrade is not specified, -u will be applied

              Multiple Package Installation Options:

              pkgs   A  list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as
                     a python list. A specific  version  number  can  be  specified  by  using  a
                     single-element  dict  representing  the package and its version. As with the
                     version parameter above, comparison  operators  can  be  used  to  target  a
                     specific version of a package.

                     CLI Examples:

                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4"}]'
                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "<1.2.3-4"}]'

              sources
                     A  list  of packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with the
                     keys being package names, and the values being the source URI or local  path
                     to the package.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install                 sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.pkg.tar.xz"},                 {"bar": "salt://bar.pkg.tar.xz"}]'

              Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                'new': '<new-version>'}}

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              Return   the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or
              installation. If more than one package name is specified, a  dict  of  name/version
              pairs is returned.

              If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will
              be returned for that package.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)
              List the packages currently installed as a dict:

                 {'<package_name>': '<version>'}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.list_repo_pkgs(*args, **kwargs)
              Returns all available packages. Optionally, package names (and name globs)  can  be
              passed and the results will be filtered to packages matching those names.

              This  function  can  be  helpful in discovering the version or repo to specify in a
              pkg.installed state.

              The return data will be a dictionary mapping package names to  a  list  of  version
              numbers,  ordered  from newest to oldest. If byrepo is set to True, then the return
              dictionary will contain repository names at the top level, and each repository will
              map packages to lists of version numbers. For example:

                 # With byrepo=False (default)
                 {
                     'bash': ['4.4.005-2'],
                     'nginx': ['1.10.2-2']
                 }
                 # With byrepo=True
                 {
                     'core': {
                         'bash': ['4.4.005-2']
                     },
                     'extra': {
                         'nginx': ['1.10.2-2']
                     }
                 }

              fromrepo
                     None  Only include results from the specified repo(s). Multiple repos can be
                     specified, comma-separated.

              byrepo False When True, the return data for  each  package  will  be  organized  by
                     repository.

              refresh
                     False  When  True,  the package database will be refreshed (i.e. pacman -Sy)
                     before checking for available versions.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_repo_pkgs
                 salt '*' pkg.list_repo_pkgs foo bar baz
                 salt '*' pkg.list_repo_pkgs 'samba4*' fromrepo=base,updates
                 salt '*' pkg.list_repo_pkgs 'python2-*' byrepo=True

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.list_upgrades(refresh=False, root=None, **kwargs)
              List all available package upgrades on this system

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.owner(*paths, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Return the name of the package that owns the  file.  Multiple  file  paths  can  be
              passed.  Like  pkg.version,  if a single path is passed, a string will be returned,
              and if multiple paths are passed, a dictionary of file/package name pairs  will  be
              returned.

              If  the  file  is  not owned by a package, or is not present on the minion, then an
              empty string will be returned for that path.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl
                 salt '*' pkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl /usr/bin/zsh

       salt.modules.pacmanpkg.purge(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)
              Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions  running  systemd>=205,
              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from
              the salt-minion daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd  from  killing
              any pacman commands spawned by Salt when the salt-minion service is restarted. (see
              KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of
              systemd-run(1)  can  be suppressed by setting a config option called systemd.scope,
              with a value of False (no quotes).

              Recursively remove a package and all dependencies which  were  installed  with  it,
              this will call a pacman -Rsc

   salt.modules.pagerduty
       Module for Firing Events via PagerDuty

       New in version 2014.1.0.

       configuration
              This  module  can  be used by specifying the name of a configuration profile in the
              minion config, minion pillar, or master config.

              This module can be used by specifying the name of a configuration  profile  in  the
              minion  config, minion pillar, or master config.  The default configuration profile
              name is 'pagerduty.'

              For example:

                 pagerduty:
                     pagerduty.api_key: F3Rbyjbve43rfFWf2214
                     pagerduty.subdomain: mysubdomain

       For PagerDuty API details, see https://developer.pagerduty.com/documentation/rest

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.create_or_update_resource(resource_name,    identifier_fields,
       data, diff=None, profile='pagerduty', subdomain=None, api_key=None)
              create or update any pagerduty resource Helper method for present().

              Determining  if  two resources are the same is different for different PD resource,
              so this method accepts a diff function.  The  diff  function  will  be  invoked  as
              diff(state_information,  object_returned_from_pagerduty),  and should return a dict
              of data to pass to the PagerDuty update API method, or None if no update is  to  be
              performed.   If no diff method is provided, the default behavor is to scan the keys
              in   the   state_information,   comparing    the    matching    values    in    the
              object_returned_from_pagerduty, and update any values that differ.

              Examples

              create_or_update_resource("user",                            ["id","name","email"])
              create_or_update_resource("escalation_policies",                     ["id","name"],
              diff=my_diff_function)

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.delete_resource(resource_name,     key,     identifier_fields,
       profile='pagerduty', subdomain=None, api_key=None)
              delete any pagerduty resource

              Helper method for absent()

              Example

              delete_resource("users", key, ["id","name","email"]) # delete  by  id  or  name  or
              email

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.get_escalation_policies(profile='pagerduty',   subdomain=None,
       api_key=None)
              List escalation_policies belonging to this account

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion pagerduty.get_escalation_policies

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.get_resource(resource_name,      key,       identifier_fields,
       profile='pagerduty', subdomain=None, api_key=None)
              Get any single pagerduty resource by key.

              We  allow  flexible lookup by any of a list of identifier_fields.  So, for example,
              you can look up users by email address or name by calling:
                 get_resource('users', key, ['name', 'email'], ...)

              This method is mainly used to translate state sls into pagerduty id's for dependent
              objects.   For  example,  a  pagerduty  escalation  policy  contains  one  or  more
              schedules, which must be passed by their pagerduty id.  We look up the schedules by
              name (using this method), and then translate the names into id's.

              This method is implemented by getting all objects of the resource type (cached into
              __context__), then brute force searching through the list and trying to  match  any
              of the identifier_fields.  The __context__ cache is purged after any create, update
              or delete to the resource.

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.get_schedules(profile='pagerduty',             subdomain=None,
       api_key=None)
              List schedules belonging to this account

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion pagerduty.get_schedules

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.get_services(profile='pagerduty',              subdomain=None,
       api_key=None)
              List services belonging to this account

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion pagerduty.get_services

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.get_users(profile='pagerduty', subdomain=None, api_key=None)
              List users belonging to this account

              CLI Example:

                 salt myminion pagerduty.get_users

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.resource_absent(resource,                   identifier_fields,
       profile='pagerduty', subdomain=None, api_key=None, **kwargs)
              Generic  resource.absent  state  method.   Pagerduty state modules should be a thin
              wrapper over this method, with a custom diff function.

              This method calls delete_resource() and formats the result as a salt  state  return
              value.

              Example

              resource_absent("users", ["id","name","email"])

       salt.modules.pagerduty_util.resource_present(resource,    identifier_fields,    diff=None,
       profile='pagerduty', subdomain=None, api_key=None, **kwargs)
              Generic resource.present state method.   Pagerduty state modules should be  a  thin
              wrapper over this method, with a custom diff function.

   salt.modules.parted_partition
       Module for managing partitions on POSIX-like systems.

       depends

              • parted, partprobe, lsblk (usually parted and util-linux packages)

       Some functions may not be available, depending on your version of parted.

       Check the manpage for parted(8) for more information, or the online docs at:

       http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/manual/html_chapter/parted_2.html

       In  light  of  parted  not directly supporting partition IDs, some of this module has been
       written to utilize sfdisk instead. For further information, please reference the man  page
       for sfdisk(8).

       salt.modules.parted_partition.align_check(device, part_type, partition)
              Check  if  partition satisfies the alignment constraint of part_type.  Type must be
              "minimal" or "optimal".

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.align_check /dev/sda minimal 1

       salt.modules.parted_partition.check(device, minor)
              Checks if the file system on partition <minor> has any errors.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.check 1

       salt.modules.parted_partition.cp(device, from_minor, to_minor)
              Copies the file system on  the  partition  <from-minor>  to  partition  <to-minor>,
              deleting the original contents of the destination partition.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.cp /dev/sda 2 3

       salt.modules.parted_partition.disk_set(device, flag, state)
              Changes a flag on selected device.

              A  flag  can  be  either  "on"  or "off" (make sure to use proper quoting, see YAML
              Idiosyncrasies). Some or all of these flags will be available,  depending  on  what
              disk label you are using.

              Valid flags are:

                     • cylinder_alignment

                     • pmbr_boot

                     • implicit_partition_table

              CLI Example:

       salt.modules.parted_partition.disk_toggle(device, flag)
              Toggle  the  state  of <flag> on <device>. Valid flags are the same as the disk_set
              command.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.disk_toggle /dev/sda pmbr_boot

       salt.modules.parted_partition.exists(device='')
              Check to see if the partition exists

                  7: HPFS/NTFS
                 82: Linux Swap
                 83: Linux
                 8e: Linux LVM
                 fd: Linux RAID Auto

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.get_id /dev/sda 1

       salt.modules.parted_partition.list_(device, unit=None)
              Prints partition information of given <device>

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' partition.list /dev/sda
                 salt '*' partition.list /dev/sda unit=s
                 salt '*' partition.list /dev/sda unit=kB

       salt.modules.parted_partition.mkfs(device, fs_type)
              Makes a file system <fs_type> on  partition  <device>,  destroying  all  data  that
              resides  on  that  partition.  <fs_type>  must  be one of "ext2", "fat32", "fat16",
              "linux-swap" or "reiserfs" (if libreiserfs is installed)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.mkfs /dev/sda2 fat32

       salt.modules.parted_partition.mklabel(device, label_type)
              Create a new disklabel (partition table) of label_type.

              Type should be one of "aix", "amiga", "bsd", "dvh", "gpt", "loop", "mac",  "msdos",
              "pc98", or "sun".

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.mklabel /dev/sda msdos

       salt.modules.parted_partition.mkpart(device,    part_type,    fs_type=None,    start=None,
       end=None)
              Make a part_type partition for filesystem fs_type, beginning at start and ending at
              end (by default in megabytes).  part_type should be one of "primary", "logical", or
              "extended".

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' partition.mkpart /dev/sda primary fs_type=fat32 start=0 end=639
                 salt '*' partition.mkpart /dev/sda primary start=0 end=639

       salt.modules.parted_partition.mkpartfs(device,   part_type,   fs_type=None,    start=None,
       end=None)
              The mkpartfs actually is an alias to mkpart and is kept for compatibility.  To know
              the valid options and usage syntax read mkpart documentation.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' partition.mkpartfs /dev/sda primary fs_type=fat32 start=0 end=639
                 salt '*' partition.mkpartfs /dev/sda primary start=0 end=639

       salt.modules.parted_partition.name(device, partition, name)
              Set the name of partition to name. This option works only on  Mac,  PC98,  and  GPT
              disklabels. The name can be placed in quotes, if necessary.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.name /dev/sda 1 'My Documents'

       salt.modules.parted_partition.probe(*devices)
              Ask  the  kernel to update its local partition data. When no args are specified all
              block devices are tried.

              Caution: Generally only works on devices with no mounted partitions and may take  a
              long time to return if specified devices are in use.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' partition.probe
                 salt '*' partition.probe /dev/sda
                 salt '*' partition.probe /dev/sda /dev/sdb

       salt.modules.parted_partition.rescue(device, start, end)
              Rescue  a  lost  partition  that was located somewhere between start and end.  If a
              partition is found, parted will ask if you want to create an entry for  it  in  the
              partition table.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.rescue /dev/sda 0 8056

       salt.modules.parted_partition.resize(device, minor, start, end)
              Resizes the partition with number <minor>.

              The partition will start <start> from the beginning of the disk, and end <end> from
              the beginning of the  disk.  resize  never  changes  the  minor  number.   Extended
              partitions  can  be  resized,  so  long  as  the  new extended partition completely
              contains all logical partitions.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.resize /dev/sda 3 200 850

       salt.modules.parted_partition.rm(device, minor)
              Removes the partition with number <minor>.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' partition.rm /dev/sda 5

       salt.modules.parted_partition.set_(device, minor, flag, state)
              Changes a flag on the partition with number <minor>.

              A flag can be either "on" or "off" (make sure  to  use  proper  quoting,  see  YAML
              Idiosyncrasies).  Some  or  all of these flags will be available, depending on what
              disk label you are using.

              Valid flags are:

                     • boot

                     • root

                     • swap

   salt.modules.peeringdb
   PeeringDB Module
       New in version 2019.2.0.

       Execution module for the basic interaction with the PeeringDB API.

       While  for  GET  operations (the functions prefixed by get_) the credentials are optional,
       there are some specific details that are visible only to  authenticated  users.  Moreover,
       the  credentials  are required when adding or updating information. That means, the module

   salt.modules.philips_hue
       Philips HUE lamps module for proxy.

       New in version 2015.8.3.

   salt.modules.pillar
       Extract the pillar data for this minion

       salt.modules.pillar.data(*args, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of items.
                 Calls the master for a fresh pillar and generates the pillar data on the fly

                 Contrast with raw() which returns the pillar data that is currently loaded  into
                 the minion.

                 pillar If specified, allows for a dictionary of pillar data to be made available
                        to pillar and ext_pillar rendering.  these  pillar  variables  will  also
                        override any variables of the same name in pillar or ext_pillar.

                        New in version 2015.5.0.

                 pillar_enc
                        If  specified,  the  data  passed  in  the pillar argument will be passed
                        through this renderer to decrypt it.

                        NOTE:
                            This will decrypt on the minion side, so the specified renderer  must
                            be  set up on the minion for this to work. Alternatively, pillar data
                            can be decrypted master-side. For more information,  see  the  Pillar
                            Encryption documentation.  Pillar data that is decrypted master-side,
                            is not decrypted until the  end  of  pillar  compilation  though,  so
                            minion-side decryption will be necessary if the encrypted pillar data
                            must be  made  available  in  an  decrypted  state  pillar/ext_pillar
                            rendering.

                        New in version 2017.7.0.

                 pillarenv
                        Pass a specific pillar environment from which to compile pillar data.  If
                        not specified, then the minion's pillarenv option is  not  used,  and  if
                        that  also  is not specified then all configured pillar environments will
                        be merged into a single pillar dictionary and returned.

                        New in version 2016.11.2.

                 saltenv
                        Included only  for  compatibility  with  pillarenv_from_saltenv,  and  is
                        otherwise ignored.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pillar.items

       salt.modules.pillar.ext(external, pillar=None)
              Changed  in version 2016.3.6,2016.11.3,2017.7.0: The supported ext_pillar types are
              now tunable using the on_demand_ext_pillar config option. Earlier releases  used  a
              hard-coded default.

              Generate the pillar and apply an explicit external pillar

              external
                     A  single  ext_pillar  to  add to the ext_pillar configuration. This must be
                     passed as a single  section  from  the  ext_pillar  configuration  (see  CLI
                     examples  below).  For more complicated ext_pillar configurations, it can be
                     helpful  to  use  the  Python  shell  to  load  YAML  configuration  into  a
                     dictionary, and figure out

                        >>> import salt.utils.yaml
                        >>> ext_pillar = salt.utils.yaml.safe_load("""
                        ... ext_pillar:
                        ...   - git:
                        ...     - issue38440 https://github.com/terminalmage/git_pillar:
                        ...       - env: base
                        ... """)
                        >>> ext_pillar
                        {'ext_pillar': [{'git': [{'mybranch https://github.com/myuser/myrepo': [{'env': 'base'}]}]}]}
                        >>> ext_pillar['ext_pillar'][0]
                        {'git': [{'mybranch https://github.com/myuser/myrepo': [{'env': 'base'}]}]}

                     In  the  above  example,  the  value  to  pass  would be {'git': [{'mybranch
                     https://github.com/myuser/myrepo': [{'env':  'base'}]}]}.   Note  that  this
                     would  need  to  be  quoted  when passing on the CLI (as in the CLI examples
                     below).

              pillar None If specified, allows for  a  dictionary  of  pillar  data  to  be  made
                     available  to  pillar  and ext_pillar rendering. These pillar variables will
                     also override any variables of the same name in pillar or ext_pillar.

                     New in version 2015.5.0.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pillar.ext '{libvirt: _}'

       merge_nested_lists=None, delimiter=':', pillarenv=None, saltenv=None)
              New in version 0.14.

              Attempt  to  retrieve the named value from in-memory pillar data. If the pillar key
              is not present in the in-memory pillar, then the value  specified  in  the  default
              option (described below) will be returned.

              If  the merge parameter is set to True, the default will be recursively merged into
              the returned pillar data.

              The value can also represent a value in a nested dict using a ":" delimiter for the
              dict. This means that if a dict in pillar looks like this:

                 {'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

              To  retrieve  the value associated with the apache key in the pkg dict this key can
              be passed as:

                 pkg:apache

              key    The pillar key to get value from

              default
                     The value specified by this option will be returned if  the  desired  pillar
                     key does not exist.

                     If a default value is not specified, then it will be an empty string, unless
                     pillar_raise_on_missing is set to True, in  which  case  an  error  will  be
                     raised.

              merge  False  If True, the retrieved values will be merged into the passed default.
                     When the  default  and  the  retrieved  value  are  both  dictionaries,  the
                     dictionaries will be recursively merged.

                     New in version 2014.7.0.

                     Changed  in  version  2016.3.7,2016.11.4,2017.7.0:  If  the  default and the
                     retrieved value are not of the same type, then merging will be  skipped  and
                     the  retrieved  value  will be returned. Earlier releases raised an error in
                     these cases.

              merge_nested_lists
                     If set to False, lists nested within the retrieved  pillar  dictionary  will
                     overwrite lists in default. If set to True, nested lists will be merged into
                     lists in default. If unspecified (the default),  this  option  is  inherited
                     from the pillar_merge_lists minion config option.

                     NOTE:
                        This option is ignored when merge is set to False.

              delimiter
                     Specify  an  alternate delimiter to use when traversing a nested dict.  This
                     is useful for when the desired key contains a colon. See CLI  example  below

              pillarenv
                     If  specified,  this function will query the master to generate fresh pillar
                     data on the fly, specifically from the requested  pillar  environment.  Note
                     that  this  can  produce  different pillar data than executing this function
                     without an environment, as its normal behavior is just  to  return  a  value
                     from minion's pillar data in memory (which can be sourced from more than one
                     pillar environment).

                     Using this argument will not affect the  pillar  data  in  memory.  It  will
                     however  be  slightly slower and use more resources on the master due to the
                     need for the master to generate and send the minion fresh pillar data.  This
                     tradeoff in performance however allows for the use case where pillar data is
                     desired only from a single environment.

                     Included  only  for  compatibility  with  pillarenv_from_saltenv,   and   is
                     otherwise ignored.

                     New in version 2017.7.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pillar.get pkg:apache
                 salt '*' pillar.get abc::def|ghi delimiter='|'

       salt.modules.pillar.file_exists(path, saltenv=None)
              New in version 2016.3.0.

              This is a master-only function. Calling from the minion is not supported.

              Use  the given path and search relative to the pillar environments to see if a file
              exists at that path.

              If the saltenv argument is given, restrict search to that environment only.

              Will only work with pillar_roots, not external pillars.

              Returns True if the file is found, and False otherwise.

              path   The path to the file in question. Will be treated as a relative path

              saltenv
                     Optional argument to restrict the search to a specific saltenv

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pillar.file_exists foo/bar.sls

       salt.modules.pillar.filter_by(lookup_dict,    pillar,    merge=None,    default='default',
       base=None)
              New in version 2017.7.0.

              Look up the given pillar in a given dictionary and return the result

              Parameterslookup_dict --

                       A  dictionary, keyed by a pillar, containing a value or values relevant to
                       systems matching that pillar. For example, a key could be a pillar  for  a
                       role and the value could the name of a package on that particular OS.

                       The dictionary key can be a globbing pattern. The function will return the
                       corresponding  lookup_dict  value  where  the  pillar  value  matches  the
                       pattern. For example:

                          # this will render 'got some salt' if ``role`` begins with 'salt'
                          salt '*' pillar.filter_by '{salt*: got some salt, default: salt is not here}' role

                     • pillar --

                       The  name  of a pillar to match with the system's pillar. For example, the
                       value of the  "role"  pillar  could  be  used  to  pull  values  from  the
                       lookup_dict dictionary.

                       The  pillar  value can be a list. The function will return the lookup_dict
                       value for a first found item in the list matching one of  the  lookup_dict
                       keys.

                     • merge  --  A  dictionary to merge with the results of the pillar selection
                       from lookup_dict. This allows another dictionary to override the values in
                       the lookup_dict.

                     • default  -- default lookup_dict's key used if the pillar does not exist or
                       if the pillar value has no match on lookup_dict.  If unspecified the value
                       is "default".

                     • base   --   A   lookup_dict  key  to  use  for  a  base  dictionary.   The
                       pillar-selected lookup_dict is merged over this and then finally the merge
                       dictionary  is  merged.   This  allows  common  values for each case to be
                       collected in the base and overridden by the  pillar  selection  dictionary
                       and the merge dictionary.  Default is unset.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pillar.filter_by '{web: Serve it up, db: I query, default: x_x}' role

       salt.modules.pillar.get(key,        default=<class        'KeyError'>,        merge=False,
       merge_nested_lists=None, delimiter=':', pillarenv=None, saltenv=None)
              New in version 0.14.

              Attempt to retrieve the named value from in-memory pillar data. If the  pillar  key
              is  not  present  in  the in-memory pillar, then the value specified in the default
              option (described below) will be returned.

              If the merge parameter is set to True, the default will be recursively merged  into
              the returned pillar data.

              The value can also represent a value in a nested dict using a ":" delimiter for the
              dict. This means that if a dict in pillar looks like this:

                 {'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

              To retrieve the value associated with the apache key in the pkg dict this  key  can
              be passed as:

                 pkg:apache

              key    The pillar key to get value from

              default
                     The  value  specified  by this option will be returned if the desired pillar
                     key does not exist.

                     If a default value is not specified, then it will be an empty string, unless
                     pillar_raise_on_missing  is  set  to  True,  in  which case an error will be
                     raised.

              merge  False If True, the retrieved values will be merged into the passed  default.
                     When  the  default  and  the  retrieved  value  are  both  dictionaries, the
                     dictionaries will be recursively merged.

                     these cases.

              merge_nested_lists
                     If  set  to  False, lists nested within the retrieved pillar dictionary will
                     overwrite lists in default. If set to True, nested lists will be merged into
                     lists  in  default.  If  unspecified (the default), this option is inherited

                     NOTE:
                        This  will  decrypt on the minion side, so the specified renderer must be

                        documentation.   Pillar  data  that  is  decrypted  master-side,  is  not
                        decrypted  until  the  end  of  pillar compilation though, so minion-side
                        decryption will be necessary if the encrypted pillar data  must  be  made

              Attempt to retrieve a list of keys from the named value from the pillar.

              The value can also represent a value in a nested dict using a ":" delimiter for the
              dict, similar to how pillar.get works.

              delimiter
                     Specify an alternate delimiter to use when traversing a nested dict

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pillar.keys web:sites

       salt.modules.pillar.ls(*args)
              New in version 2015.8.0.

              Calls the master for a fresh pillar, generates the pillar data on the fly (same  as
              items()), but only shows the available main keys.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pillar.ls

       salt.modules.pillar.obfuscate(*args)
              New in version 2015.8.0.

              Same as items(), but replace pillar values with a simple type indication.

              This is useful to avoid displaying sensitive information on console or flooding the
              console with long  output,  such  as  certificates.   For  many  debug  or  control
              purposes, the stakes lie more in dispatching than in actual values.

              In case the value is itself a collection type, obfuscation occurs within the value.
              For mapping types, keys are not obfuscated.  Here are some examples:

              • 'secret password' becomes '<str>'['secret', 1] becomes ['<str>', '<int>']{'login':  'somelogin',  'pwd':  'secret'}  becomes  {'login':  '<str>',   'pwd':
                '<str>'}

                 salt '*' pillar.obfuscate

       salt.modules.pillar.raw(key=None)
              Return the raw pillar data that is currently loaded into the minion.

              Contrast with items() which calls the master to fetch the most up-to-date Pillar.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pillar.raw

              With the optional key argument, you can select a subtree of the pillar raw data.:

                 salt '*' pillar.raw key='roles'

   salt.modules.pip
       Install Python packages with pip to either the system or a virtualenv

   Windows Support
       New in version 2014.7.4.

       Salt  now  uses  a portable python. As a result the entire pip module is now functional on
       the salt installation itself. You can pip install dependencies for  your  custom  modules.
       You  can  even  upgrade salt itself using pip. For this to work properly, you must specify
       the Current Working Directory (cwd) and the Pip Binary (bin_env)  salt  should  use.   The
       variable pip_bin can be either a virtualenv path or the path to the pip binary itself.

       For  example,  the  following  command  will list all software installed using pip to your
       current salt environment:

          salt <minion> pip.list cwd='C:\salt\bin\Scripts' bin_env='C:\salt\bin\Scripts\pip.exe'

       Specifying the cwd and bin_env options ensures you're modifying the salt  environment.  If
       these  are  omitted, it will default to the local installation of python. If python is not
       installed locally it will fail saying it couldn't find pip.

   State File Support
       This functionality works in states as well. If you need to pip  install  colorama  with  a
       state, for example, the following will work:

          install_colorama:
            pip.installed:
              - name: colorama
              - cwd: 'C:\salt\bin\scripts'
              - bin_env: 'C:\salt\bin\scripts\pip.exe'
              - upgrade: True

   Upgrading Salt using Pip
       You  can now update salt using pip to any version from the 2014.7 branch forward. Previous
       version require recompiling some of the dependencies which is painful in windows.

       To do this you just use pip with git to update to the version you want  and  then  restart
       the  service.  Here  is  a  sample state file that upgrades salt to the head of the 2015.5
       branch:

          install_salt:
            pip.installed:
              - cwd: 'C:\salt\bin\scripts'
              - bin_env: 'C:\salt\bin\scripts\pip.exe'
              - editable: git+https://github.com/saltstack/salt@2015.5#egg=salt
              - upgrade: True

          restart_service:
            service.running:
              - name: salt-minion
              - enable: True
              - watch:
                - pip: install_salt

       NOTE:
          If you're having problems, you might try doubling the back slashes. For  example,  cwd:
          'C:\salt\bin\scripts'.  Sometimes  python  thinks  the  single  back slash is an escape
          character.

          There is a known incompatibility between Python2 pip>=10.* and  Salt  <=2018.3.0.   The
          issue is described here: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/46163

       salt.modules.pip.freeze(bin_env=None,  user=None,  cwd=None,  use_vt=False, env_vars=None,
       **kwargs)
              Return a list of installed packages either globally or in the specified virtualenv

              bin_env
                     Path to pip (or to a virtualenv). This can be used to specify  the  path  to
                     the  pip  to  use  when  more  than  one  Python  release is installed (e.g.
                     /usr/bin/pip-2.7 or /usr/bin/pip-2.6. If a directory path is  specified,  it
                     is assumed to be a virtualenv.

              user   The user under which to run pip

              cwd    Directory from which to run pip

              NOTE:
                 If  the  version of pip available is older than 8.0.3, the list will not include
                 the packages pip, wheel, setuptools, or distribute even if they are installed.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pip.freeze bin_env=/home/code/path/to/virtualenv

       salt.modules.pip.install(pkgs=None,  requirements=None,   bin_env=None,   use_wheel=False,
       no_use_wheel=False,  log=None,  proxy=None,  timeout=None, editable=None, find_links=None,
       index_url=None,   extra_index_url=None,    no_index=False,    mirrors=None,    build=None,
       target=None,     download=None,     download_cache=None,    source=None,    upgrade=False,
       force_reinstall=False,    ignore_installed=False,    exists_action=None,    no_deps=False,
       no_install=False, no_download=False, global_options=None, install_options=None, user=None,
       cwd=None, pre_releases=False,  cert=None,  allow_all_external=False,  allow_external=None,
       allow_unverified=None,   process_dependency_links=False,   saltenv='base',  env_vars=None,
       use_vt=False,  trusted_host=None,  no_cache_dir=False,  extra_args=None,   cache_dir=None,
       no_binary=None, disable_version_check=False, **kwargs)
              Install packages with pip

              Install  packages  individually  or  from a pip requirements file. Install packages
              globally or to a virtualenv.

              pkgs   Comma separated list of packages to install

              requirements
                     Path to requirements

              bin_env
                     Path to pip (or to a virtualenv). This can be used to specify  the  path  to
                     the  pip  to  use  when  more  than  one  Python  release is installed (e.g.
                     /usr/bin/pip-2.7 or /usr/bin/pip-2.6. If a directory path is  specified,  it
                     is assumed to be a virtualenv.

                     NOTE:
                        For  Windows, if the pip module is being used to upgrade the pip package,
                        bin_env should be the path to the virtualenv or to the python binary that
                        should be used.  The pip command is unable to upgrade itself in Windows.

              use_wheel

                     :all: to disable all binary packages, :none: to empty the  set,  or  one  or
                     more package names with commas between them

              log    Log file where a complete (maximum verbosity) record will be kept

              proxy  Specify  a  proxy  in  the form user:passwd@proxy.server:port. Note that the
                     user:password@  is  optional  and  required  only  if  you  are  behind   an
                     authenticated  proxy. If you provide user@proxy.server:port then you will be
                     prompted for a password.

                     NOTE:
                        If the Minion has a globaly configured proxy - it will be used even if no
                        proxy  was  set here. To explicitly disable proxy for pip you should pass
                        False as a value.

              mirrors
                     Specific mirror URL(s) to query (automatically adds --use-mirrors)

                     WARNING:
                        This option has been deprecated and removed in pip version 7.0.0.  Please

              env_vars
                     Set  environment  variables  that some builds will depend on. For example, a
                     Python C-module may have a Makefile that needs INCLUDE_PATH set to pick up a
                     header  file while compiling.  This must be in the form of a dictionary or a
                     mapping.

                     Example:

                        salt '*' pip.install django_app env_vars="{'CUSTOM_PATH': '/opt/django_app'}"

              trusted_host

              extra_args
                     pip keyword and positional arguments not yet implemented in salt

                        salt '*' pip.install pandas extra_args="[{'--latest-pip-kwarg':'param'}, '--latest-pip-arg']"

                     WARNING:
                        If unsupported options are passed  here  that  are  not  supported  in  a
                        minion's version of pip, a No such option error will be thrown.

              Will be translated into the following pip command:

                 pip install pandas --latest-pip-kwarg param --latest-pip-arg

              disable_version_check
                     Pip may periodically check PyPI to determine whether a new version of pip is
                     available to download. Passing True for this option disables that check.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pip.install <package name>,<package2 name>
                 salt '*' pip.install requirements=/path/to/requirements.txt

                        False as a value.

              timeout
                     Set the socket timeout (default 15 seconds)

                 salt '*' pip.uninstall requirements=/path/to/requirements.txt
                 salt '*' pip.uninstall <package name> bin_env=/path/to/virtualenv
                 salt '*' pip.uninstall <package name> bin_env=/path/to/pip_bin

       salt.modules.pip.upgrade(bin_env=None, user=None, cwd=None, use_vt=False)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Upgrades outdated pip packages.

              NOTE:
                 On Windows you can't update salt from pip using salt, so salt will be skipped

              Returns a dict containing the changes.

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                        'new': '<new-version>'}}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pip.upgrade

       salt.modules.pip.upgrade_available(pkg, bin_env=None, user=None, cwd=None)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Check whether or not an upgrade is available for a given package

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pip.upgrade_available <package name>

       salt.modules.pip.version(bin_env=None, cwd=None, user=None)
              New in version 0.17.0.

              Returns the version of pip. Use bin_env to specify the path to a virtualenv and get
              the version of pip in that virtualenv.

              If unable to detect the pip version, returns None.

              Changed in version 3001.1: The user parameter was added, to  allow  specifying  the
              user who runs the version command.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pip.version

   salt.modules.pkg_resource
       Resources needed by pkg providers

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.add_pkg(pkgs, name, pkgver)
              Add a package to a dict of installed packages.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.add_pkg '{}' bind 9

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.check_extra_requirements(pkgname, pkgver)
              Check  if  the installed package already has the given requirements.  This function
              will return the result of pkg.check_extra_requirements if this function exists  for
              the minion, otherwise it will return True.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.check_extra_requirements <pkgname> <extra_requirements>

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.format_pkg_list(packages, versions_as_list, attr)
              Formats packages according to parameters for list_pkgs.

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.format_version(epoch, version, release)

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.pack_sources(sources, normalize=True)
              Accepts  list  of  dicts  (or  a string representing a list of dicts) and packs the
              key/value pairs into a single dict.

              '[{"foo":  "salt://foo.rpm"},  {"bar":  "salt://bar.rpm"}]'  would  become  {"foo":
              "salt://foo.rpm", "bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}

              normalize
                     True  Normalize  the  package  name  by  removing  the  architecture, if the
                     architecture of the package  is  different  from  the  architecture  of  the
                     operating  system.  The  ability  to  disable  this  behavior  is useful for
                     poorly-created packages which include the architecture as an actual part  of
                     the name, such as kernel modules which match a specific kernel version.

                     New in version 2015.8.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.pack_sources '[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"}, {"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.parse_targets(name=None,         pkgs=None,        sources=None,

              Returns  a list of packages, as well as a string noting whether the packages are to
              come from a repository or a binary package.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.parse_targets

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.sort_pkglist(pkgs)
              Accepts a dict obtained from  pkg.list_pkgs()  and  sorts  in  place  the  list  of
              versions  for  any  packages  that  have  multiple  versions installed, so that two
              package lists can be compared to one another.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.sort_pkglist '["3.45", "2.13"]'

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.stringify(pkgs)
              Takes a dict of package name/version information and joins each list  of  installed
              versions into a string.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.stringify 'vim: 7.127'

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.version(*names, **kwargs)
              Common interface for obtaining the version of installed packages.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.version vim
                 salt '*' pkg_resource.version foo bar baz
                 salt '*' pkg_resource.version 'python*'

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.version_clean(verstr)
              Clean  the  version  string  removing extra data.  This function will simply try to
              call pkg.version_clean.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg_resource.version_clean <version_string>

       salt.modules.pkg_resource.version_compare(ver1, oper, ver2, ignore_epoch=False)
              New in version 3001.

              Perform a version comparison, using  (where  available)  platform-specific  version
              comparison tools to make the comparison.

              ver1   The first version to be compared

              oper   One of ==, !=, >=, <=, >, <

              ver2   The second version to be compared

              NOTE:
                 To  avoid  shell  interpretation, each of the above values should be quoted when
                 this function is used on the CLI.

              ignore_epoch
                     False If True, both package versions will have their epoch  prefix  stripped
                     before comparison.

              This  function  is  useful  in  Jinja templates, to perform specific actions when a
              package's version meets certain criteria. For example:

                 {%- set postfix_version = salt.pkg.version('postfix') %}
                 {%- if postfix_version and salt.pkg_resource.version_compare(postfix_version, '>=', '3.3', ignore_epoch=True) %}
                   {#- do stuff #}
                 {%- endif %}

              CLI Examples:

                 salt myminion pkg_resource.version_compare '3.5' '<=' '2.4'
                 salt myminion pkg_resource.version_compare '3.5' '<=' '2.4' ignore_epoch=True

   salt.modules.pkgin
       Package support for pkgin based systems, inspired from freebsdpkg module

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a  minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different  module  (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not
          available), see here.

                 installation.

                 If  the  latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string
                 will be returned for that package.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>

   salt.modules.pkgng
       Support for pkgng, the new package manager for FreeBSD

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a  minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different  module  (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not
          available), see here.

       WARNING:
          This module has been completely rewritten. Up to and including version 0.17.x,  it  was
          available  as the pkgng module, (pkgng.install, pkgng.delete, etc.), but moving forward
          this module will no longer be available as pkgng, as it will behave like a normal  Salt
          pkg  provider. The documentation below should not be considered to apply to this module
          in versions <= 0.17.x. If your minion is running a 0.17.x release or  older,  then  the
          documentation for this module can be viewed using the sys.doc function:

              salt bsdminion sys.doc pkgng

       This  module  provides an interface to pkg(8). It acts as the default package provider for
       FreeBSD 10 and newer. For FreeBSD hosts which have been upgraded to use  pkgng,  you  will
       need to override the pkg provider by setting the providers parameter in your Minion config
       file, in order to use this module to manage packages, like so:

          providers:
            pkg: pkgng

       salt.modules.pkgng.audit(jail=None, chroot=None, root=None)
              Audits installed packages against known vulnerabilities

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.audit

              jail   Audit packages within the specified jail

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.audit jail=<jail name or id>

              chroot Audit packages within the specified chroot (ignored if jail is specified)

              root   Audit packages within the specified root (ignored if jail is specified)

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.audit chroot=/path/to/chroot

       salt.modules.pkgng.autoremove(jail=None, chroot=None, root=None, dryrun=False)
              Delete packages which were automatically installed  as  dependencies  and  are  not
              required anymore.

              dryrun Dry-run  mode.  The  list  of  changes to packages is always printed, but no
                     changes are actually made.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.autoremove
                 salt '*' pkg.autoremove jail=<jail name or id>
                 salt '*' pkg.autoremove dryrun=True
                 salt '*' pkg.autoremove jail=<jail name or id> dryrun=True

       salt.modules.pkgng.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of latest_version.
                 Return the latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or
                 installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version

   salt.modules.postfix
       Support for Postfix

       This  module  is currently little more than a config file viewer and editor. It is able to
       read the master.cf file (which is one style) and files in the style of main.cf (which is a
       different style, that is used in multiple postfix configuration files).

       The  design  of  this  module is such that when files are edited, a minimum of changes are
       made to them. Each file should look as if it has been edited by hand; order, comments  and
       whitespace are all preserved.

       salt.modules.postfix.delete(queue_id)
              Delete message(s) from the mail queue

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' postfix.delete 5C33CA0DEA

                 salt '*' postfix.delete ALL

       salt.modules.postfix.hold(queue_id)
              Put message(s) on hold from the mail queue

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' postfix.hold 5C33CA0DEA

                 salt '*' postfix.hold ALL

       salt.modules.postfix.requeue(queue_id)
              Requeue message(s) in the mail queue

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' postfix.requeue 5C33CA0DEA

                 salt '*' postfix.requeue ALL

       salt.modules.postfix.set_main(key, value, path='/etc/postfix/main.cf')
              Set a single config value in the main.cf file. If the value does not already exist,
              it will be appended to the end.

              CLI Example:

                 salt <minion> postfix.set_main mailq_path /usr/bin/mailq

       salt.modules.postfix.set_master(service, conn_type, private='y',  unpriv='y',  chroot='y',
       wakeup='n', maxproc='100', command='', write_conf=True, path='/etc/postfix/master.cf')
              Set  a  single  config  value  in the master.cf file. If the value does not already
              exist, it will be appended to the end.

              Because of shell parsing issues, '-' cannot be set as a value, as is normal in  the
              master.cf  file;  either  'y',  'n'  or  a  number should be used when calling this
              function from the command line. If the value used  matches  the  default,  it  will
              internally  be converted to a '-'. Calling this function from the Python API is not
              affected by this limitation

              The settings and their default values, in order, are: service (required), conn_type
              (required), private (y), unpriv (y), chroot (y), wakeup (n), maxproc (100), command
              (required).

              By default, this function will write out the changes to  the  master.cf  file,  and
              then  returns  the  full  contents of the file. By setting the write_conf option to
              False, it will skip writing the file.

              CLI Example:

                 salt <minion> postfix.set_master smtp inet n y n n 100 smtpd

       salt.modules.postfix.show_main(path='/etc/postfix/main.cf')
              Return a dict of active config values. This does not include comments,  spacing  or
              order. Bear in mind that order is functionally important in the main.cf file, since
              keys can be referred to as variables. This means that the data returned  from  this
              function  should  not  be  used  for direct modification of the main.cf file; other
              functions are available for that.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt <minion> postfix.show_main
                 salt <minion> postfix.show_main path=/path/to/main.cf

       salt.modules.postfix.show_master(path='/etc/postfix/master.cf')
              Return a dict of active config values. This does not include comments,  spacing  or
              order.

              The  data returned from this function should not be used for direct modification of
              the main.cf file; other functions are available for that.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt <minion> postfix.show_master
                 salt <minion> postfix.show_master path=/path/to/master.cf

       salt.modules.postfix.show_queue()
              Show contents of the mail queue

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' postfix.show_queue

       salt.modules.postfix.unhold(queue_id)
              Set held message(s) in the mail queue to unheld

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' postfix.unhold 5C33CA0DEA

                 salt '*' postfix.unhold ALL

   salt.modules.postgres
       Module to provide Postgres compatibility to salt.

       configuration
              In  order  to  connect  to  Postgres,  certain   configuration   is   required   in
              /etc/salt/minion on the relevant minions. Some sample configs might look like:

                 postgres.host: 'localhost'
                 postgres.port: '5432'
                 postgres.user: 'postgres' -> db user
                 postgres.pass: ''
                 postgres.maintenance_db: 'postgres'

              The  default  for the maintenance_db is 'postgres' and in most cases it can be left
              at the default setting.  This data can also be passed into pillar.  Options  passed
              into opts will overwrite options passed into pillar

       note   This  module  uses  MD5  hashing  which  may not be compliant with certain security
              audits.

       note   When installing postgres  from  the  official  postgres  repos,  on  certain  linux
              distributions,  either the psql or the initdb binary is not automatically placed on
              the path. Add a configuration to the location of the postgres  bin's  path  to  the
              relevant minion for this module:

                 postgres.bins_dir: '/usr/pgsql-9.5/bin/'

   salt.modules.publish
       Publish a command from a minion to a target

       salt.modules.publish.full_data(tgt,   fun,   arg=None,    tgt_type='glob',    returner='',
       timeout=5)
              Return  the full data about the publication, this is invoked in the same way as the
              publish function

              CLI Example:

                 salt system.example.com publish.full_data '*' cmd.run 'ls -la /tmp'

                 Attention

                        If you need to pass a  value  to  a  function  argument  and  that  value
                        contains an equal sign, you must include the argument name.  For example:

                     salt '*' publish.full_data test.kwarg arg='cheese=spam'

       salt.modules.publish.publish(tgt,  fun, arg=None, tgt_type='glob', returner='', timeout=5,
       via_master=None)
              Publish a command from the minion out to other minions.

              Publications need to be enabled on the Salt master and the  minion  needs  to  have
              permission  to  publish  the command. The Salt master will also prevent a recursive
              publication loop, this means that a minion cannot command another minion to command
              another minion as that would create an infinite command loop.

              The  tgt_type  argument  is  used  to  pass  a  target  other  than a glob into the
              execution, the available options are:

              • glob

              • pcre

              • grain

              • grain_pcre

              • pillar

              • pillar_pcre

              • ipcidr

              • range

              • compound

              Changed in version 2017.7.0: The expr_form argument has been renamed  to  tgt_type,
              earlier releases must use expr_form.

              Note  that  for  pillar  matches  must be exact, both in the pillar matcher and the
              compound matcher. No globbing is supported.

              The arguments sent to the minion publish function are separated with  commas.  This
              means  that  for  a minion executing a command with multiple args it will look like
              this:

                 salt system.example.com publish.publish '*' user.add 'foo,1020,1020'
                 salt system.example.com publish.publish 'os:Fedora' network.interfaces '' grain

              CLI Example:

                 salt system.example.com publish.publish '*' cmd.run 'ls -la /tmp'

                 Attention

                        If you need to pass a  value  to  a  function  argument  and  that  value
                        contains an equal sign, you must include the argument name.  For example:

                     salt '*' publish.publish test.kwarg arg='cheese=spam'

                 Multiple keyword arguments should be passed as a list.

                     salt '*' publish.publish test.kwarg arg="['cheese=spam','spam=cheese']"

              When running via salt-call, the via_master flag may be set to specific which master
              the publication should be sent to. Only one master may be specified. If unset,  the
              publication will be sent only to the first master in minion configuration.

       salt.modules.publish.runner(fun, arg=None, timeout=5)
              Execute a runner on the master and return the data from the runner function

       salt.modules.rabbitmq.set_policy(vhost,   name,   pattern,   definition,    priority=None,
       runas=None, apply_to=None)
              Set a policy based on rabbitmqctl set_policy.

              Reference: http://www.rabbitmq.com/ha.html

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' rabbitmq.set_policy / HA '.*' '{"ha-mode":"all"}'

       salt.modules.rabbitmq.set_upstream(name,  uri,  prefetch_count=None, reconnect_delay=None,
       ack_mode=None,    trust_user_id=None,    exchange=None,    max_hops=None,    expires=None,
       message_ttl=None, ha_policy=None, queue=None, runas=None)
              Configures   an   upstream   via   rabbitmqctl   set_parameter.   This  can  be  an
              exchange-upstream, a queue-upstream or both.

              Parameters
                     name (str) -- The name of the upstream to configure.

              The following parameters apply to federated exchanges and federated queues:

              Parametersuri (str) -- The AMQP URI(s) for the upstream.

                     • prefetch_count (int) -- The  maximum  number  of  unacknowledged  messages
                       copied over a link at any one time. Default: 1000

                     • reconnect_delay  (int)  --  The  duration  (in  seconds)  to  wait  before
                       reconnecting to the broker after being disconnected. Default: 1

                     • ack_mode (str) -- Determines how the link should acknowledge messages.  If
                       set to on-confirm (the default), messages are acknowledged to the upstream
                       broker after they have been confirmed  downstream.  This  handles  network
                       errors  and  broker  failures  without losing messages, and is the slowest
                       option.  If set to on-publish, messages are acknowledged to  the  upstream
                       broker  after  they  have  been published downstream. This handles network
                       errors without losing messages, but may lose  messages  in  the  event  of
                       broker failures.  If set to no-ack, message acknowledgements are not used.
                       This is the fastest option, but may lose messages in the event of  network
                       or broker failures.

                     • trust_user_id (bool) -- Determines how federation should interact with the
                       validated user-id feature. If set to true, federation  will  pass  through
                       any validated user-id from the upstream, even though it cannot validate it
                       itself. If set to false or not set, it will clear any validated user-id it
                       encounters.  You  should  only  set this to true if you trust the upstream
                       server (and by extension, all its upstreams) not to forge user-ids.

              The following parameters apply to federated exchanges only:

              Parametersexchange (str) -- The name of the upstream exchange. Default is to use the
                       same name as the federated exchange.

                     • max_hops  (int)  --  The maximum number of federation links that a message
                       published to a federated exchange can traverse  before  it  is  discarded.
                       Default is 1. Note that even if max-hops is set to a value greater than 1,
                       messages will never visit the same node twice due to travelling in a loop.
                       However,  messages  may  still be duplicated if it is possible for them to
                       travel from the source to the destination via multiple routes.

                     • expires (int) -- The expiry time (in milliseconds) after which an upstream
                       queue  for  a  federated  exchange  may be deleted, if a connection to the
                       upstream broker is lost. The default is 'none', meaning the  queue  should
                       never expire.  This setting controls how long the upstream queue will last
                       before it is eligible for deletion if the connection is lost.  This  value
                       is used to set the "x-expires" argument for the upstream queue.

                     • message_ttl  (int)  --  The expiry time for messages in the upstream queue
                       for a federated exchange (see expires), in milliseconds. Default is  None,
                       meaning  messages  should  never  expire. This does not apply to federated
                       queues.  This value is used to set the "x-message-ttl"  argument  for  the
                       upstream queue.

                     • ha_policy  (str) -- Determines the "x-ha-policy" argument for the upstream
                       queue for a federated exchange (see expires). This  is  only  of  interest
                       when  connecting  to  old brokers which determine queue HA mode using this
                       argument. Default is None, meaning the queue is not HA.

              The following parameter applies to federated queues only:

              Parametersqueue (str) -- The name of the upstream queue. Default is to use the  same
                       name as the federated queue.

                     • runas (str) -- The name of the user to run the command as.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' rabbitmq.set_upstream upstream_name ack_mode=on-confirm max_hops=1             trust_user_id=True uri=amqp://hostname

                     • minimum -- The lower boundary for the range from which the random  numbers
                       will be picked. Must be within the [-1e9,1e9] range.

                     • maximum  -- The upper boundary for the range from which the random numbers
                       will be picked. Must be within the [-1e9,1e9] range.

                     • replacement -- Specifies whether the random numbers should be picked  with
                       replacement.  The  default (true) will cause the numbers to be picked with

              strategy
                     If specified, must be one of those options:

                     best-effort - This is the default strategy. If etcd is
                            running,  etcd-lock is used. If no etcd is running, but a maintenance
                            window is  specified,  the  strategy  will  be  maint-window.  If  no
                            maintenance  window is specified, the machine is immediately rebooted
                            (instantly).

                     etcd-lock - A lock at etcd for the specified lock-group will
                            be acquired before reboot. If a maintenance window is specified,  the
                            lock is only acquired during this window.

                     maint-window - Reboot does happen only during a specified
                            maintenance window. If no window is specified, the instantly strategy
                            is followed.

                     instantly - Other services will be informed that a reboot will
                            happen. Reboot will be done without getting any locks or waiting  for
                            a maintenance window.

                     off - Reboot requests are temporary
                            ignored. /etc/rebootmgr.conf is not modified.

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos rebootmgr set_strategy stragegy=off

       salt.modules.rebootmgr.set_window(time, duration)

       • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

       • HKEY_CURRENT_USER

       • HKEY_USER

   Keys
       Keys are the folders in the registry. Keys can have many nested subkeys. Keys can  have  a
       value assigned to them under the (Default)

       When  passing  a  key  on the CLI it must be quoted correctly depending on the backslashes
       being used (\ vs \\). The following are valid methods of passing the key on the CLI:

       Using single backslashes:
              "SOFTWARE\Python" 'SOFTWARE\Python' (will not work on a Windows Master)

       Using double backslashes:
              SOFTWARE\\Python

   Values or Entries
       Values or Entries are the name/data pairs beneath the keys and subkeys. All  keys  have  a
       default  name/data  pair. The name is (Default) with a displayed value of (value not set).
       The actual value is Null.

       Example

       The following example is an export from the Windows startup portion of the registry:

          [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

              Parametershive (str) --

                       The name of the hive. Can be one of the following

                          • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE or HKLM

                          • HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG or HKCC

                     • key (str) -- The key (looks like a path) to the value name.

                     • vname (str) -- The value name. These are the  individual  name/data  pairs
                       under the key. If not passed, the key (Default) value will be set.

                     • vdata (str, int, list, bytes) --

                       The  value you'd like to set. If a value name (vname) is passed, this will
                       be the data for that value name. If not, this will be the (Default)  value
                       for the key.

                       The  type  of  data this parameter expects is determined by the value type
                       specified in vtype. The correspondence is as follows:

                          • REG_BINARY: Binary data (str in Py2, bytes in Py3)

                          • REG_DWORD: int

                          • REG_EXPAND_SZ: str

                          • REG_MULTI_SZ: list of str

                          • REG_QWORD: int

                          • REG_SZ: str

                          NOTE:
                              When setting REG_BINARY, string data will be converted to binary.

                       NOTE:
                          The type for the  (Default)  value  is  always  REG_SZ  and  cannot  be
                          changed.

                       NOTE:
                          This  parameter  is  optional.  If vdata is not passed, the Key will be
                          created with no associated item/value pairs.

                     • vtype (str) -- The value type. The possible values of the vtype  parameter
                       are indicated above in the description of the vdata parameter.

                     • use_32bit_registry  (bool)  --  Sets  the 32bit portion of the registry on
                       64bit installations. On 32bit machines this is ignored.

                     • volatile (bool) -- When this parameter has a value of True,  the  registry
                       key  will be made volatile (i.e. it will not persist beyond a system reset
                       or shutdown). This parameter only has  an  effect  when  a  key  is  being
                       created and at no other time.

              Returns
                     True if successful, otherwise False

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:
                 This  will  set  the  version  value  to 2015.5.2 in the SOFTWARESalt key in the
                 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive

                     salt '*' reg.set_value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 'SOFTWARE\Salt' 'version' '2015.5.2'

              CLI Example:
                 This function is strict about the type of vdata. For instance this example  will
                 fail because vtype has a value of REG_SZ and vdata has a type of int (as opposed
                 to str as expected).

                     salt '*' reg.set_value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 'SOFTWARE\Salt' 'str_data' 1.2

              CLI Example:
                 In this next example vdata is properly quoted and should succeed.

                     salt '*' reg.set_value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 'SOFTWARE\Salt' 'str_data' vtype=REG_SZ vdata="'1.2'"

              CLI Example:
                 This is an example of using vtype REG_BINARY.

                     salt '*' reg.set_value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 'SOFTWARE\Salt' 'bin_data' vtype=REG_BINARY vdata='Salty Data'

              CLI Example:
                 An example of using vtype REG_MULTI_SZ is as follows:

                     salt '*' reg.set_value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE 'SOFTWARE\Salt' 'list_data' vtype=REG_MULTI_SZ vdata='["Salt", "is", "great"]'

   salt.modules.rpmbuild_pkgbuild
       RPM Package builder system

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       This  system  allows  for  all  of  the  components  to  build  rpms  safely  in  chrooted
       environments. This also provides a function to generate yum repositories

       This module implements the pkgbuild interface

       salt.modules.rpmbuild_pkgbuild.build(runas,  tgt,  dest_dir,  spec,  sources,  deps,  env,
       template, saltenv='base', log_dir='/var/log/salt/pkgbuild')
              Given  the package destination directory, the spec file source and package sources,
              use mock to safely build the rpm defined in the spec file

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkgbuild.build mock epel-7-x86_64 /var/www/html
                             https://raw.githubusercontent.com/saltstack/libnacl/master/pkg/rpm/python-libnacl.spec
                             https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/l/libnacl/libnacl-1.3.5.tar.gz

              This example command should build the libnacl package for rhel 7  using  user  mock
              and place it in /var/www/html/ on the minion

       salt.modules.rpmbuild_pkgbuild.make_repo(repodir,           keyid=None,          env=None,
       use_passphrase=False, gnupghome='/etc/salt/gpgkeys', runas='root', timeout=15.0)
              Make a package repository and optionally sign packages present

              Given the repodir, create a yum repository out of the rpms therein  and  optionally
              sign it and packages present, the name is directory to turn into a repo. This state
              is best used with onchanges linked to your package building states.

              repodir
                     The directory to find packages that will be in the repository.

              keyid  Changed in version 2016.3.0.

                     Optional Key ID to use in signing packages and repository.  Utilizes  Public

   salt.modules.runit
       runit service module (http://smarden.org/runit)

       This  module is compatible with the service states, so it can be used to maintain services
       using the provider argument:

          myservice:
            service:
              - running
              - provider: runit

       Provides virtual service module on systems using runit as init.

       Service management rules (sv command):
          service $n is ENABLED   if file SERVICE_DIR/$n/run exists service $n  is  AVAILABLE  if
          ENABLED or if file AVAIL_SVR_DIR/$n/run exists service $n is DISABLED  if AVAILABLE but
          not ENABLED

          SERVICE_DIR/$n is normally a symlink to a AVAIL_SVR_DIR/$n folder

       Service auto-start/stop mechanism:
          sv (auto)starts/stops service as soon as SERVICE_DIR/<service> is created/deleted, both
          on service creation or a boot time.

          autostart feature is disabled if file SERVICE_DIR/<n>/down exists. This does not affect
          the current's service status (if already running) nor manual service management.

       Service's alias:
          Service sva is an alias of  service  svc  when  AVAIL_SVR_DIR/sva  symlinks  to  folder
          AVAIL_SVR_DIR/svc.  svc  can't  be  enabled  if  it is already enabled through an alias
          already enabled, since sv files are stored in folder SERVICE_DIR/svc/.

          XBPS package management uses a service's alias to provides service alternative(s), such
          as chrony and openntpd both aliased to ntpd.

   salt.modules.s3
       Connection module for Amazon S3

       configuration
              This module accepts explicit s3 credentials but can also utilize IAM roles assigned
              to  the  instance  through  Instance  Profiles.  Dynamic   credentials   are   then
              automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More
              Information available at:
                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/iam-roles-for-amazon-ec2.html

              If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a  pillar  or  in  the
              minion's config file:

                 s3.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
                 s3.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

              WARNING:
                 This is literally the pillar key s3.keyid or the config option s3.keyid, not:

                     s3:
                       keyid: blah

              A service_url may also be specified in the configuration:

                 s3.service_url: s3.amazonaws.com

              A role_arn may also be specified in the configuration:

                 s3.role_arn: arn:aws:iam::111111111111:role/my-role-to-assume

              If a service_url is not specified, the default is s3.amazonaws.com. This may appear
              in various documentation as an "endpoint". A comprehensive list for Amazon  S3  may
              be found at:
                 http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region

              The  service_url  will  form the basis for the final endpoint that is used to query
              the service.

              Path style can be enabled:

                 s3.path_style: True

              This can be useful if you need to use  Salt  with  a  proxy  for  a  S3  compatible
              storage.

              You can use either HTTPS protocol or HTTP protocol:

                 s3.https_enable: True

              SSL verification may also be turned off in the configuration:

                 s3.verify_ssl: False

              This  is required if using S3 bucket names that contain a period, as these will not
              match Amazon's S3 wildcard certificates. Certificate  verification  is  enabled  by
              default.

              AWS region may be specified in the configuration:

                 s3.location: eu-central-1

              Default is us-east-1.

              This module should be usable to query other S3-like services, such as Eucalyptus.

              It  is  also  possible to perform an action on a bucket. Currently, S3 supports the
              following actions:

                 acl
                 cors
                 lifecycle

   salt.modules.salt_version
       Access Salt's elemental release code-names.

       New in version 3000.

       Salt's feature release schedule is based on  the  Periodic  Table,  as  described  in  the
       Version Numbers documentation.

       When  a feature was added (or removed) in a specific release, it can be difficult to build
       out future-proof functionality that is dependent on a naming scheme that moves.

       For example, a state syntax needs to change to support an option that will be  removed  in
       the  future,  but there are many Minion versions in use across an infrastructure. It would
       be handy to use some Jinja syntax to check for these instances to perform one state syntax
       over another.

       A simple example might be something like the following:

          {# a boolean check #}
          {% set option_deprecated = salt['salt_version.less_than']("3001") %}

          {% if option_deprecated %}
            <use old syntax>
          {% else %}
            <use new syntax>
          {% endif %}

       salt.modules.salt_version.equal(name)
              Returns  a  boolean  (True)  if  the minion's current version code name matches the
              named version.

              name   The release code name to check the version against.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' salt_version.equal 'Oxygen'

       salt.modules.salt_version.get_release_number(name)
              Returns the release number of a given release code name in a MAJOR.PATCH format.

              If the release name has not been given an assigned  release  number,  the  function
              returns a string. If the release cannot be found, it returns None.

              name   The release code name for which to find a release number.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' salt_version.get_release_number 'Oxygen'

       salt.modules.salt_version.greater_than(name)
              Returns  a boolean (True) if the minion's current version code name is greater than
              the named version.

              name   The release code name to check the version against.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' salt_version.greater_than 'Oxygen'

       salt.modules.salt_version.less_than(name)
              Returns a boolean (True) if the minion's current version code name is less than the
              named version.

              name   The release code name to check the version against.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' salt_version.less_than 'Oxygen'

   salt.modules.saltcheck
       A module for testing the logic of states and highstates on salt minions

       codeauthor
              William Cannon <william.cannon@gmail.com>

       maturity
              new

       Saltcheck provides unittest like functionality requiring only the knowledge of salt module
       execution and yaml. Saltcheck uses salt modules to return data,  then  runs  an  assertion
       against  that  return.  This  allows  for  testing  with all the features included in salt
       modules.

       In order to run state and highstate saltcheck tests, a sub-folder in the  state  directory
       must  be  created  and named saltcheck-tests. Tests for a state should be created in files
       ending in *.tst and placed in the saltcheck-tests folder. tst files are  run  through  the
       salt  rendering  system, enabling tests to be written in yaml (or renderer of choice), and
       include jinja, as well as the usual grain and pillar information.  Like  states,  multiple
       tests  can  be  specified  in  a  tst  file.  Multiple  tst  files  can  be created in the
       saltcheck-tests folder, and should be named the same as the associated state. The id of  a
       test works in the same manner as in salt state files and should be unique and descriptive.

       New   in   version   3000:   The  saltcheck-tests  folder  can  be  customized  using  the
       saltcheck_test_location minion configuration setting.  This setting  is  a  relative  path
       from the formula's salt:// path to the test files.

   Usage
       Example Default file system layout:

          /srv/salt/apache/
              init.sls
              config.sls
              saltcheck-tests/
                  init.tst
                  config.tst
                  deployment_validation.tst

       Alternative example file system layout with custom saltcheck_test_location:

   Minion configuration:
          saltcheck_test_location: tests/integration/saltcheck

   Filesystem layout:
          /srv/salt/apache/
              init.sls
              config.sls
              tests/integration/saltcheck/
                  init.tst
                  config.tst
                  deployment_validation.tst

       Tests  can be run for each state by name, for all apache/saltcheck/*.tst files, or for all
       states assigned to the minion in top.sls. Tests may also be  created  with  no  associated
       state.  These tests will be run through the use of saltcheck.run_state_tests, but will not
       be automatically run by saltcheck.run_highstate_tests.

          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache,apache.config
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache check_all=True
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_highstate_tests
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache.deployment_validation

   Saltcheck Keywords
       module_and_function:
              (str) This is the salt module which will be run  locally,  the  same  as  salt-call
              --local  <module>.  The saltcheck.state_apply module name is special as it bypasses
              the local option in order to resolve  state  names  when  run  in  a  master/minion
              environment.

       args:  (list) Optional arguments passed to the salt module

       kwargs:
              (dict) Optional keyword arguments to be passed to the salt module

       assertion:
              (str) One of the supported assertions and required except for saltcheck.state_apply
              Tests which fail the assertion and expected_return, cause saltcheck to exit which a
              non-zero exit code.

       expected_return:
              (str)  Required except by assertEmpty, assertNotEmpty, assertTrue, assertFalse. The
              return of module_and_function is compared to this value in the assertion.

       assertion_section:
              (str) Optional keyword used to parse the  module_and_function  return.  If  a  salt
              module  returns  a  dictionary  as a result, the assertion_section value is used to
              lookup a specific value in that return for the assertion comparison.

       assertion_section_delimiter:
              (str) Optional delimiter to use when splitting a nested structure.  Defaults to ':'

       print_result:
              (bool) Optional  keyword  to  show  results  in  the  assertEqual,  assertNotEqual,
              assertIn, and assertNotIn output. Defaults to True.

       output_details:
              (bool)  Optional  keyword  to display module_and_function, args, assertion_section,
              and assertion results text in the  output.  If  print_result  is  False,  assertion
              results  will  be  hidden.  This is a per test setting, but can be set globally for
              all tests by adding saltcheck_output_details:  True  in  the  minion  configuration
              file.  Defaults to False

       pillar_data:
              (dict)  Optional  keyword for passing in pillar data. Intended for use in potential
              test setup or teardown with the saltcheck.state_apply function.

       skip:  (bool) Optional keyword to skip running the individual test

       New in version 3000: Multiple assertions can  be  run  against  the  output  of  a  single
       module_and_function   call.   The   assertion,   expected_return,  assertion_section,  and
       assertion_section_delimiter keys can be placed in a list under an assertions key. See  the
       multiple assertions example below.

              New in version 2014.7.0.

              WARNING: The safest way to clear a minion cache is by first stopping the minion and
              then deleting the cache files before restarting it.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' saltutil.clear_cache

       salt.modules.saltutil.clear_job_cache(hours=24)
              Forcibly removes job cache folders and files on a minion.

              New in version 2018.3.0.

              WARNING: The safest way to clear a minion cache is by first stopping the minion and
              then deleting the cache files before restarting it.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' saltutil.clear_job_cache hours=12

       salt.modules.saltutil.cmd(tgt,  fun,  arg=(),   timeout=None,   tgt_type='glob',   ret='',
       kwarg=None, ssh=False, **kwargs)
              Changed  in  version 2017.7.0: The expr_form argument has been renamed to tgt_type,
              earlier releases must use expr_form.

              Assuming this minion is a master, execute a salt command

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' saltutil.cmd

       salt.modules.saltutil.cmd_iter(tgt, fun, arg=(),  timeout=None,  tgt_type='glob',  ret='',

              earlier releases must use expr_form.

              Assuming this minion is a master, execute a salt command

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' saltutil.cmd_iter

       salt.modules.saltutil.find_cached_job(jid)
              Return the data for a specific cached job id. Note this only  works  if  cache_jobs
              has previously been set to True on the minion.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' saltutil.find_cached_job <job id>

       salt.modules.saltutil.find_job(jid)
              Return the data for a specific job id that is currently running.

              jid    The job id to search for and return data.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' saltutil.find_job <job id>

              Note  that the find_job function only returns job information when the job is still
              running. If the job is currently running, the output looks something like this:

                 # salt my-minion saltutil.find_job 20160503150049487736
                 my-minion:
                     ----------
                     arg:
                         - 30
                     fun:
                         test.sleep
                     jid:
                         20160503150049487736
                     pid:
                         9601
                     ret:
                     tgt:
                         my-minion
                     tgt_type:
                         glob
                     user:
                         root

              If the job has already completed,  the  job  cannot  be  found  and  therefore  the
              function returns an empty dictionary, which looks like this on the CLI:

                 # salt my-minion saltutil.find_job 20160503150049487736
                 my-minion:

              Refresh  the  minion's  grains  without  syncing   custom   grains   modules   from
              salt://_grains.

              NOTE:
                 The  available  execution  modules will be reloaded as part of this proceess, as
                 grains can affect which modules are available.

              refresh_pillar
                     True Set to False to keep pillar data from being refreshed.

       salt.modules.saltutil.revoke_auth(preserve_minion_cache=False)
              The  minion  sends  a  request  to the master to revoke its own key.  Note that the
              minion session will be revoked and the minion may not be able to return the  result
              of this command back to the master.

              If  the  'preserve_minion_cache'  flag  is  set  to True, the master cache for this
              minion will not be removed.

       salt.modules.saltutil.sync_all(saltenv=None,     refresh=True,      extmod_whitelist=None,
       extmod_blacklist=None)
              Changed  in  version  2015.8.11,2016.3.2: On masterless minions, pillar modules are
              now synced, and refreshed when refresh is set to True.

              Sync down all  of  the  dynamic  modules  from  the  file  server  for  a  specific
              environment.  This  function  synchronizes custom modules, states, beacons, grains,
              returners, output modules, renderers, and utils.

              refresh
                     True Also refresh the execution modules and recompile pillar data  available
                     to the minion. This refresh will be performed even if no new dynamic modules
                     are synced. Set to False to prevent this refresh.

              IMPORTANT:
                 If this function is executed using a module.run state, the  SLS  file  will  not
                 have access to newly synced execution modules unless a refresh argument is added
                 to the state, like so:

                     load_my_custom_module:
                       module.run:
                         - name: saltutil.sync_all
                         - refresh: True

                 See here for a more detailed explanation of why this is necessary.

              version available in the update_url can be downloaded and installed.

              This feature requires the minion to be running a bdist_esky build.

              The version number is  optional  and  will  default  to  the  most  recent  version

              NOTE:
                 Since  this function must be run against a minion that is running locally on the
                 master in order to get accurate returns, if this function is run against minions
                 that  are  not  local  to  the  master, "empty" returns are expected. The remote
                 minion does not have access to wheel functions and their return data.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' sdb.get sdb://mymemcached/foo strict=True

       salt.modules.sdb.get_or_set_hash(uri,                                            length=8,
       chars='abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%^&*(-_=+)')
              Perform  a  one-time  generation  of a hash and write it to sdb.  If that value has
              already been set return the value instead.

              This is useful for generating passwords or  keys  that  are  specific  to  multiple
              minions that need to be stored somewhere centrally.

              State Example:

                 some_mysql_user:
                   mysql_user:
                     - present
                     - host: localhost
                     - password: '{{ salt['sdb.get_or_set_hash']('some_mysql_user_pass') }}'

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' sdb.get_or_set_hash 'SECRET_KEY' 50

   salt.modules.sensehat
       Module  for  controlling  the  LED matrix or reading environment data on the SenseHat of a
       Raspberry Pi.

              sense_hat Python module

       The rotation of the Pi can be specified in a pillar.  This is useful if  the  Pi  is  used
       upside down or sideways to correct the orientation of the image being shown.

       Example:

          sensehat:
              rotation: 90

       salt.modules.sensehat.clear(color=None)
              Sets the LED matrix to a single color or turns all LEDs off.

              CLI Example:

                 salt 'raspberry' sensehat.clear
                 salt 'raspberry' sensehat.clear '[255, 0, 0]'

       salt.modules.sensehat.get_humidity()
              Get the percentage of relative humidity from the humidity sensor.

       salt.modules.sensehat.get_pixel(x, y)
              Returns the color of a single pixel on the LED matrix.

              x      The x coordinate of the pixel. Ranges from 0 on the left to 7 on the right.

              y      The y coordinate of the pixel. Ranges from 0 at the top to 7 at the bottom.

              NOTE:
                 Please read the note for get_pixels

       salt.modules.sensehat.get_pixels()
              Returns  a  list  of  64  smaller  lists  of  [R, G, B] pixels representing the the
              currently displayed image on the LED matrix.

              NOTE:
                 When using set_pixels the pixel values can sometimes change when you  read  them
                 again  using  get_pixels. This is because we specify each pixel element as 8 bit
                 numbers (0 to 255) but when they're passed into the Linux frame buffer  for  the
                 LED matrix the numbers are bit shifted down to fit into RGB 565. 5 bits for red,
                 6 bits for green and 5 bits  for  blue.   The  loss  of  binary  precision  when
                 performing  this  conversion  (3  bits lost for red, 2 for green and 3 for blue)
                 accounts for the discrepancies you see.

   salt.modules.slsutil
       Utility functions for use with or in SLS files

       salt.modules.slsutil.banner(width=72,  commentchar='#',  borderchar='#',  blockstart=None,
       blockend=None, title=None, text=None, newline=False)
              Create a standardized comment block to include in a templated file.

              A common technique in configuration management is to include  a  comment  block  in
              managed  files,  warning users not to modify the file. This function simplifies and
              standardizes those comment blocks.

              Parameterswidth -- The width, in characters, of the banner. Default is 72.

                     • commentchar -- The character to be used in the starting position  of  each
                       line.  This  value should be set to a valid line comment character for the
                       syntax of the file in  which  the  banner  is  being  inserted.   Multiple
                       character  sequences,  like '//' are supported.  If the file's syntax does
                       not support line comments (such as XML), use the blockstart  and  blockend
                       options.

                     • borderchar  --  The  character  to use in the top and bottom border of the
                       comment box. Must be a single character.

                     • blockstart -- The character sequence to use at the beginning  of  a  block
                       comment. Should be used in conjunction with blockendblockend  --  The character sequence to use at the end of a block comment.
                       Should be used in conjunction with blockstarttitle -- The first field of the comment block. This field appears centered
                       at the top of the box.

                     • text  --  The  second  filed  of  the  comment  block.  This field appears
                       left-justified at the bottom of the box.

                     • newline -- Boolean value to indicate whether the comment block should  end
                       with a newline. Default is False.

              Example 1 - the default banner:

                 {{ salt['slsutil.banner']() }}

       salt.modules.slsutil.boolstr(value, true='true', false='false')
              Convert  a  boolean  value into a string. This function is intended to be used from
              within file templates to provide an easy way  to  take  boolean  values  stored  in
              Pillars  or  Grains,  and write them out in the appropriate syntax for a particular
              file template.

              Parametersvalue -- The boolean value to be converted

                     • true -- The value to return if value is Truefalse -- The value to return if value is False

              In this example, a pillar named smtp:encrypted stores  a  boolean  value,  but  the
              template  that  uses that value needs yes or no to be written, based on the boolean
              value.

              Note: this is written on two lines for clarity. The same result could  be  achieved
              in one line.

                 {% set encrypted = salt[pillar.get]('smtp:encrypted', false) %}
                 use_tls: {{ salt['slsutil.boolstr'](encrypted, 'yes', 'no') }}

              Result (assuming the value is True):

                 use_tls: yes

       salt.modules.slsutil.renderer(path=None,    string=None,    default_renderer='jinja|yaml',
       **kwargs)
              Parse a string or file through Salt's renderer system

              Changed in version 2018.3.0: Add support for Salt fileserver URIs.

              This is an open-ended function and can be used for a variety of tasks. It makes use
              of Salt's "renderer pipes" system to run a string or file through a pipe of any  of
              the loaded renderer modules.

              Parameterspath  --  The  path  to a file on Salt's fileserver (any URIs supported by
                       cp.get_url) or on the local file system.

                     • string -- An inline string to be used as the  file  to  send  through  the
                       renderer system. Note, not all renderer modules can work with strings; the
                       'py' renderer requires a file, for example.

                     • default_renderer -- The renderer pipe to send the file  through;  this  is
                       overridden by a "she-bang" at the top of the file.

                     • kwargs -- Keyword args to pass to Salt's compile_template() function.

              Keep  in  mind  the goal of each renderer when choosing a render-pipe; for example,
              the Jinja renderer processes a text file and produces a string,  however  the  YAML
              renderer processes a text file and produces a data structure.

              One  possible  use  is  to  allow writing "map files", as are commonly seen in Salt
              formulas, but without tying the renderer of the map file to the  renderer  used  in
              the  other  sls files. In other words, a map file could use the Python renderer and
              still be included and used by an  sls  file  that  uses  the  default  'jinja|yaml'
              renderer.

              For  example,  the  two  following  map  files produce identical results but one is
              written using the normal 'jinja|yaml' and the other is using 'py':

                 #!jinja|yaml
                 {% set apache = salt.grains.filter_by({
                     ...normal jinja map file here...
                 }, merge=salt.pillar.get('apache:lookup')) %}
                 {{ apache | yaml() }}

                 #!py
                 def run():
                     apache = __salt__.grains.filter_by({
                         ...normal map here but as a python dict...
                     }, merge=__salt__.pillar.get('apache:lookup'))
                     return apache

              Regardless of which of the above map files is used, it can  be  accessed  from  any
              other sls file by calling this function. The following is a usage example in Jinja:

                 {% set apache = salt.slsutil.renderer('map.sls') %}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' slsutil.renderer salt://path/to/file
                 salt '*' slsutil.renderer /path/to/file
                 salt '*' slsutil.renderer /path/to/file.jinja default_renderer='jinja'
                 salt '*' slsutil.renderer /path/to/file.sls default_renderer='jinja|yaml'
                 salt '*' slsutil.renderer string='Inline template! {{ saltenv }}'
                 salt '*' slsutil.renderer string='Hello, {{ name }}.' name='world'

       salt.modules.slsutil.serialize(serializer, obj, **mod_kwargs)
              Serialize a Python object using one of the available all-salt.serializers.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' --no-parse=obj slsutil.serialize 'json' obj="{'foo': 'Foo!'}

              Jinja Example:

                 {% set json_string = salt.slsutil.serialize('json',
                     {'foo': 'Foo!'}) %}

       salt.modules.slsutil.update(dest, upd, recursive_update=True, merge_lists=False)

   salt.modules.smf_service
       Service  support  for Solaris 10 and 11, should work with other systems that use SMF also.
       (e.g. SmartOS)

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage services on a  minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different module (or gives an error similar to 'service.start' is not
          available), see here.

       salt.modules.smf_service.available(name)
              Returns True if the specified service is available, otherwise returns False.

              We look up the name with the svcs command to get back the FMRI This allows users to
              use simpler service names

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' service.available net-snmp

              This module can  be  used  by  either  passing  a  jid  and  password  directly  to
              send_message,  or  by  specifying the name of a configuration profile in the minion
              config, minion pillar, or master config.

              For example:

                 my-smtp-login:
                     smtp.server: smtp.domain.com
                     smtp.tls: True

   salt.modules.solarisipspkg
       IPS pkg support for Solaris

       IMPORTANT:
          If  you  feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and
          it is using a different module (or gives an  error  similar  to  'pkg.install'  is  not
          available), see here.

       This  module provides support for Solaris 11 new package management - IPS (Image Packaging
       System).  This is the default pkg module for Solaris 11 (and later).

       If you want to use also other packaging module (e.g. pkgutil) together with IPS, you  need
       to override the pkg provider in sls for each package:

          mypackage:
            pkg.installed:
              - provider: pkgutil

       Or  you  can override it globally by setting the providers parameter in your Minion config
       file like this:

          providers:
            pkg: pkgutil

       Or you can override it globally by setting the providers parameter in your  Minion  config
       file like this:

          providers:
            pkg: pkgutil

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of latest_version.
                 The  available  version  of packages in the repository.  Accepts full or partial
                 FMRI. Partial FMRI is returned if the full FMRI could not be resolved.

                 If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an  empty  string
                 will be returned for that package.

                 Please use pkg.latest_version as pkg.available_version is being deprecated.

                 Changed in version 2019.2.0: Support for multiple package names added.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version bash
                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version pkg://solaris/entire
                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version postfix sendmail

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.get_fmri(name, **kwargs)
              Returns FMRI from partial name. Returns empty string ('') if not found.  In case of
              multiple match, the function returns list of all matched packages.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.get_fmri bash

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.install(name=None,  refresh=False,   pkgs=None,   version=None,
       test=False, **kwargs)
              Install the named package using the IPS pkg command.  Accepts full or partial FMRI.

              Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                'new': '<new-version>'}}

              Multiple Package Installation Options:

              pkgs   A list of packages to install. Must be passed as a python list.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.install vim
                 salt '*' pkg.install pkg://solaris/editor/vim
                 salt '*' pkg.install pkg://solaris/editor/vim refresh=True
                 salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.is_installed(name, **kwargs)
              Returns  True  if  the  package is installed. Otherwise returns False.  Name can be
              full or partial FMRI.  In case of multiple match from partial FMRI name, it returns
              True.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.is_installed bash

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              The available version of packages in the repository.  Accepts full or partial FMRI.
              Partial FMRI is returned if the full FMRI could not be resolved.

              If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will
              be returned for that package.

              Please use pkg.latest_version as pkg.available_version is being deprecated.

              Changed in version 2019.2.0: Support for multiple package names added.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version bash
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version pkg://solaris/entire
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version postfix sendmail

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)
              List the currently installed packages as a dict:

                 {'<package_name>': '<version>'}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.list_upgrades(refresh=True, **kwargs)
              Lists all packages available for update.

              When run in global zone, it reports only upgradable packages for the global zone.

              When run in non-global zone, it can report more upgradable packages than pkg update
              -vn,  because  pkg  update  hides  packages   that   require   newer   version   of
              pkg://solaris/entire  (which  means  that they can be upgraded only from the global
              zone). If pkg://solaris/entire is found in the list of upgrades,  then  the  global
              zone should be updated to get all possible updates. Use refresh=True to refresh the
              package database.

              refresh
                     True Runs a full package database refresh before listing. Set  to  False  to
                     disable running the refresh.

                     Changed in version 2017.7.0.

                     In  previous  versions of Salt, refresh defaulted to False. This was changed
                     to default to True in  the  2017.7.0  release  to  make  the  behavior  more
                     consistent with the other package modules, which all default to True.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades
                 salt '*' pkg.list_upgrades refresh=False

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.normalize_name(name, **kwargs)
              Internal  function. Normalizes pkg name to full FMRI before running pkg.install. In
              case of multiple matches or no match, it returns the name without modifications.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.normalize_name vim

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.purge(name, **kwargs)
              Remove specified package. Accepts full or partial FMRI.

              Returns a list containing the removed packages.

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.refresh_db(full=False, **kwargs)
              Updates the remote repos database.

              full : False
                 Set to True to force a refresh of the pkg DB from all publishers, regardless  of
                 the last refresh time.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.refresh_db
                 salt '*' pkg.refresh_db full=True

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.remove(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)
              Remove specified package. Accepts full or partial FMRI.  In case of multiple match,
              the command fails and won't modify the OS.

              name   The name of the package to be deleted.

              Multiple Package Options:

              pkgs   A list of packages to delete. Must be passed as  a  python  list.  The  name
                     parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

              Returns a list containing the removed packages.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.remove <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.remove tcsh
                 salt '*' pkg.remove pkg://solaris/shell/tcsh
                 salt '*' pkg.remove pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.search(name, versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)
              Searches  the repository for given pkg name.  The name can be full or partial FMRI.
              All matches are printed. Globs are also supported.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.search bash

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.upgrade(refresh=False, **kwargs)
              Upgrade all packages to the latest possible version.  When run in global  zone,  it
              updates  also  all  non-global  zones.   In  non-global zones upgrade is limited by
              dependency constrains linked to the version of pkg://solaris/entire.

              Returns a dictionary containing the changes:

                 {'<package>':  {'old': '<old-version>',
                                 'new': '<new-version>'}}

              When there is a failure, an explanation is also  included  in  the  error  message,
              based on the return code of the pkg update command.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.upgrade

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.upgrade_available(name, **kwargs)
              Check  if  there  is  an  upgrade  available  for a certain package Accepts full or
              partial FMRI. Returns all matches found.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.upgrade_available apache-22

       salt.modules.solarisipspkg.version(*names, **kwargs)
              Common interface for obtaining the version of installed packages.  Accepts full  or
              partial FMRI. If called using pkg_resource, full FMRI is required.  Partial FMRI is
              returned if the package is not installed.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.version vim
                 salt '*' pkg.version foo bar baz
                 salt '*' pkg_resource.version pkg://solaris/entire

   salt.modules.solarispkg
       Package support for Solaris

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a  minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different  module  (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not
          available), see here.

       salt.modules.solarispkg.available_version(*names, **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of latest_version.
                 Return the latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or
                 installation. If more than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version
                 pairs is returned.

                 If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an  empty  string
                 will be returned for that package.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                     salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

                 NOTE:  As  package  repositories are not presently supported for Solaris pkgadd,
                 this function will always return an empty string for a given package.

       salt.modules.solarispkg.install(name=None, sources=None, saltenv='base', **kwargs)
              Install the passed package. Can install packages from the following sources:

              • Locally (package already exists on the minion

              • HTTP/HTTPS server

              • FTP server

              • Salt master

              Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                'new': '<new-version>'}}

              CLI Examples:

                 # Installing a data stream pkg that already exists on the minion

                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "/dir/on/minion/<pkg filename>"}]'
                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "/var/spool/pkg/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]'

                 # Installing a data stream pkg that exists on the salt master

                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>"}]'
                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "salt://pkgs/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]'

              CLI Example:

                 # Installing a data stream pkg that exists on a HTTP server
                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "http://packages.server.com/<pkg filename>"}]'
                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "http://packages.server.com/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]'

              If working with solaris zones and you want to install a package only in the  global
              zone  you  can  pass  'current_zone_only=True'  to  salt  to  have the package only
              installed in the global zone. (Behind the scenes this is passing '-G' to the pkgadd
              command.)  Solaris  default  when  installing  a  package  in the global zone is to
              install it in all zones. This overrides that and installs the package only  in  the
              global.

              CLI Example:

                 # Installing a data stream package only in the global zone:
                 salt 'global_zone' pkg.install sources='[{"SMClgcc346": "/var/spool/pkg/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg"}]' current_zone_only=True

              By   default   salt  automatically  provides  an  adminfile,  to  automate  package
              installation, with these options set:

                 email=
                 instance=quit
                 partial=nocheck
                 runlevel=nocheck
                 idepend=nocheck
                 rdepend=nocheck
                 space=nocheck
                 setuid=nocheck
                 conflict=nocheck
                 action=nocheck
                 basedir=default

              You can override any of these options in two ways. First you  can  optionally  pass
              any  of the options as a kwarg to the module/state to override the default value or
              you can optionally pass the 'admin_source' option providing your own  adminfile  to
              the minions.

              Note:  You  can  find  all  of  the possible options to provide to the adminfile by
              reading the admin man page:

                 man -s 4 admin

              CLI Example:

                 # Overriding the 'instance' adminfile option when calling the module directly
                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>"}]' instance="overwrite"

              SLS Example:

                 # Overriding the 'instance' adminfile option when used in a state

                 SMClgcc346:
                   pkg.installed:
                     - sources:
                       - SMClgcc346: salt://srv/salt/pkgs/gcc-3.4.6-sol10-sparc-local.pkg
                     - instance: overwrite

              NOTE:
                 The ID declaration is ignored, as the package name  is  read  from  the  sources
                 parameter.

              CLI Example:

                 # Providing your own adminfile when calling the module directly

                 salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"<pkg name>": "salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>"}]' admin_source='salt://pkgs/<adminfile filename>'

                 # Providing your own adminfile when using states

                 <pkg name>:
                   pkg.installed:
                     - sources:
                       - <pkg name>: salt://pkgs/<pkg filename>
                     - admin_source: salt://pkgs/<adminfile filename>

              NOTE:
                 The  ID  declaration  is  ignored,  as the package name is read from the sources
                 parameter.

       salt.modules.solarispkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              Return  the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade   or
              installation.  If  more  than one package name is specified, a dict of name/version
              pairs is returned.

              If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will
              be returned for that package.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package1> <package2> <package3> ...

              NOTE:  As package repositories are not presently supported for Solaris pkgadd, this
              function will always return an empty string for a given package.

       salt.modules.solarispkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)
              List the packages currently installed as a dict:

                 {'<package_name>': '<version>'}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs

       salt.modules.solarispkg.purge(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)
              Package purges are not supported, this function is identical to remove().

              name   The name of the package to be deleted

              Multiple Package Options:

              pkgs   A list of packages to delete. Must be passed as  a  python  list.  The  name
                     parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

              New in version 0.16.0.

              Returns a dict containing the changes.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.purge <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.purge <package1>,<package2>,<package3>
                 salt '*' pkg.purge pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.solarispkg.remove(name=None, pkgs=None, saltenv='base', **kwargs)
              Remove packages with pkgrm

              name   The name of the package to be deleted

              By  default  salt automatically provides an adminfile, to automate package removal,
              with these options set:

                 email=
                 instance=quit
                 partial=nocheck

                 conflict=nocheck
                 action=nocheck
                 basedir=default

              You can override any of these options in two ways. First you  can  optionally  pass
              any  of the options as a kwarg to the module/state to override the default value or
              you can optionally pass the 'admin_source' option providing your own  adminfile  to
              the minions.

   salt.modules.solr
       Apache Solr Salt Module

       Author: Jed Glazner Version: 0.2.1 Modified: 12/09/2011

       This  module  uses  HTTP  requests  to  talk to the apache solr request handlers to gather
       information and report errors. Because of this the  minion  doesn't  necessarily  need  to
       reside  on  the  actual  slave.  However if you want to use the signal function the minion
       must reside on the physical solr host.

       This module supports multi-core and standard setups.   Certain  methods  are  master/slave
       specific.   Make  sure  you  set  the  solr.type.  If you have questions or want a feature
       request please ask.

   Coming Features in 0.3
       1. Add command for checking for replication failures on slaves

       2. Improve match_index_versions since it's pointless on busy solr masters

       3. Add additional local fs checks for backups to make sure they succeeded

   Override these in the minion config
       solr.cores
              A list of core names e.g. ['core1','core2'].  An empty list indicates non-multicore
              setup.

       solr.baseurl
              The root level URL to access solr via HTTP

       solr.request_timeout
              The  number  of  seconds before timing out an HTTP/HTTPS/FTP request. If nothing is
              specified then the python global timeout setting is used.

       solr.type
              Possible values are 'master' or 'slave'

       solr.backup_path
              The path to store your backups. If you are using  cores  and  you  can  specify  to
              append the core name to the path in the backup method.

       solr.num_backups
              For  versions  of solr >= 3.5. Indicates the number of backups to keep. This option
              is ignored if your version is less.

       solr.init_script
              The full path to your init script with start/stop options

       solr.dih.options
              A list of options to pass to the DIH.

   Required Options for DIH
       clean  False Clear the index before importing

       commit True Commit the documents to the index upon completion

       optimize
              True Optimize the index after commit is complete

       verbose
              True Get verbose output

       salt.modules.solr.abort_import(handler, host=None, core_name=None, verbose=False)
              MASTER ONLY Aborts an existing import  command  to  the  specified  handler.   This
              command can only be run if the minion is configured with solr.type=master

              handler
                     str The name of the data import handler.

              host   str (None) The solr host to query. __opts__['host'] is default.

              core   str (None) The core the handler belongs to.

              verbose
                     boolean (False) Run the command with verbose output.

              Return : dict<str,obj>:

                 {'success':boolean, 'data':dict, 'errors':list, 'warnings':list}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' solr.abort_import dataimport None music {'clean':True}

       salt.modules.solr.backup(host=None, core_name=None, append_core_to_path=False)
              Tell  solr  make a backup.  This method can be mis-leading since it uses the backup
              API.  If an error happens during the backup you are not notified.  The status: 'OK'
              in the response simply means that solr received the request successfully.

              host   str (None) The solr host to query. __opts__['host'] is default.

              core_name
                     str (None) The name of the solr core if using cores. Leave this blank if you
                     are not using cores or if you want to check all cores.

              append_core_to_path
                     boolean (False) If True add the name of the core to the backup path. Assumes
                     that minion backup path is not None.

              Return : dict<str,obj>:

                 {'success':boolean, 'data':dict, 'errors':list, 'warnings':list}

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' solr.backup music

       salt.modules.solr.core_status(host=None, core_name=None)
              MULTI-CORE  HOSTS  ONLY  Get the status for a given core or all cores if no core is
              specified

              host   str (None) The solr host to query. __opts__['host'] is default.

              core_name
                     str The name of the core to reload

              Return : dict<str,obj>:

              run this with a master/slave configuration.  Then you can optimize the master,  and
              push the optimized index to the slaves.  If you are running a single solr instance,
              or if you are going to run this on a slave be aware than search performance will be
              horrible  while  this command is being run. Additionally it can take a LONG time to
              run and your HTTP  request  may  timeout.  If  that  happens  adjust  your  timeout

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ssh.set_known_host <user> fingerprint='xx:xx:..:xx' enc='ssh-rsa' config='.ssh/known_hosts'

       salt.modules.ssh.user_keys(user=None, pubfile=None, prvfile=None)
              Return the user's ssh keys on the minion

              New in version 2014.7.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' ssh.user_keys
                 salt '*' ssh.user_keys user=user1
                 salt '*' ssh.user_keys user=user1 pubfile=/home/user1/.ssh/id_rsa.pub prvfile=/home/user1/.ssh/id_rsa
                 salt '*' ssh.user_keys user=user1 prvfile=False
                 salt '*' ssh.user_keys user="['user1','user2'] pubfile=id_rsa.pub prvfile=id_rsa

              As you can see you can tell Salt not to read from the user's  private  (or  public)
              key file by setting the file path to False. This can be useful to prevent Salt from
              publishing private data via Salt Mine or others.

   salt.modules.ssh_pkg
       Service support for the REST example

       salt.modules.ssh_pkg.install(name=None,    refresh=False,    fromrepo=None,     pkgs=None,
       sources=None, **kwargs)

       salt.modules.ssh_pkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)

       salt.modules.ssh_pkg.remove(name=None, pkgs=None, **kwargs)

   salt.modules.ssh_service
       Provide the service module for the proxy-minion SSH sample .. versionadded:: 2015.8.2

       salt.modules.ssh_service.enabled(name, sig=None)
              Only the 'redbull' service is 'enabled' in the test

       salt.modules.ssh_service.get_all()
              Return a list of all available services

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' service.get_all

       salt.modules.ssh_service.list_()
              Return a list of all available services.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' service.list

       salt.modules.ssh_service.restart(name, sig=None)
              Restart the specified service with rest_sample

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' service.restart <service name>

       salt.modules.ssh_service.running(name, sig=None)
              Return whether this service is running.

       salt.modules.ssh_service.start(name, sig=None)
              Start the specified service on the ssh_sample

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' service.start <service name>

       salt.modules.ssh_service.status(name, sig=None)
              Return  the  status for a service via ssh_sample.  If the name contains globbing, a
              dict mapping service name to True/False values is returned.

              Changed in version 2018.3.0: The service name can now be a glob (e.g. salt*)

              Parametersname (str) -- The name of the service to check

                     • sig (str) -- Not implemented

              Returns
                     True if running, False otherwise dict: Maps service name to True if running,
                     False otherwise

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' service.status <service name>

       salt.modules.ssh_service.stop(name, sig=None)
              Stop the specified service on the rest_sample

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' service.stop <service name>

   salt.modules.state
       Control the state system on the minion.

   State Caching
       When  a highstate is called, the minion automatically caches a copy of the last high data.
       If you then run a highstate with cache=True it will use that cached highdata and won't hit
       the fileserver except for salt:// links in the states themselves.

       salt.modules.state.apply_(mods=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              This  function will call state.highstate or state.sls based on the arguments passed
              to this function.  It exists as a more intuitive way of applying states.

              APPLYING ALL STATES CONFIGURED IN TOP.SLS (A.K.A. HIGHSTATE)

              To apply all configured states, simply run state.apply:

                 salt '*' state.apply

              The following additional arguments are  also  accepted  when  applying  all  states
              configured in top.sls:

              test   Run states in test-only (dry-run) mode

              mock   The mock option allows for the state run to execute without actually calling
                     any states. This then returns a mocked return which will show the  requisite
                     ordering as well as fully validate the state run.

                     New in version 2015.8.4.

              pillar Custom Pillar values, passed as a dictionary of key-value pairs

                        salt '*' state.apply stuff pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'

                     NOTE:
                        Values  passed  this way will override Pillar values set via pillar_roots
                        or an external Pillar source.

              exclude
                     Exclude specific states from execution. Accepts  a  list  of  sls  names,  a
                     comma-separated  string  of  sls names, or a list of dictionaries containing
                     sls or id keys. Glob-patterns may be used to match multiple states.

                        salt '*' state.apply exclude=bar,baz
                        salt '*' state.apply exclude=foo*
                        salt '*' state.apply exclude="[{'id': 'id_to_exclude'}, {'sls': 'sls_to_exclude'}]"

              queue  False Instead of failing immediately when another state run is in  progress,
                     queue the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This  option  starts  a  new  thread  for each queued state run, so use this
                     option sparingly.

              localconfig
                     Optionally, instead of using the minion config, load minion  opts  from  the
                     file  specified  by this argument, and then merge them with the options from
                     the minion config. This functionality allows for specific states to  be  run
                     with  their  own  custom  minion configuration, including different pillars,
                     file_roots, etc.

                        salt '*' state.apply localconfig=/path/to/minion.yml

              APPLYING INDIVIDUAL SLS FILES (A.K.A. STATE.SLS)

              To apply individual SLS files, pass them as a comma-separated list:

                 # Run the states configured in salt://stuff.sls (or salt://stuff/init.sls)
                 salt '*' state.apply stuff

                 # Run the states configured in salt://stuff.sls (or salt://stuff/init.sls)
                 # and salt://pkgs.sls (or salt://pkgs/init.sls).
                 salt '*' state.apply stuff,pkgs

                 # Run the states configured in a more deeply nested directory such as salt://my/organized/stuff.sls (or salt://my/organized/stuff/init.sls)
                 salt '*' state.apply my.organized.stuff

              The following additional arguments are also accepted when applying  individual  SLS
              files:

              test   Run states in test-only (dry-run) mode

              mock   The mock option allows for the state run to execute without actually calling
                     any states. This then returns a mocked return which will show the  requisite
                     ordering as well as fully validate the state run.

                     New in version 2015.8.4.

              pillar Custom Pillar values, passed as a dictionary of key-value pairs

                        salt '*' state.apply stuff pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'

                     NOTE:
                        Values  passed  this way will override Pillar values set via pillar_roots
                        or an external Pillar source.

              queue  False Instead of failing immediately when another state run is in  progress,
                     queue the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This  option  starts  a  new  thread  for each queued state run, so use this
                     option sparingly.

              concurrent
                     False Execute state runs concurrently instead of serially

                     WARNING:
                        This flag is potentially dangerous. It is designed for use when  multiple
                        state  runs  can safely be run at the same time. Do not use this flag for
                        performance optimization.

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

                     Changed in version 0.17.0: Argument name changed from env to saltenv

                     Changed in version 2014.7.0: If no saltenv is specified, the  minion  config
                     will  be checked for an environment parameter and if found, it will be used.
                     If none is found, base will be used. In prior releases,  the  minion  config
                     was  not  checked  and base would always be assumed when the saltenv was not
                     explicitly set.

              pillarenv
                     Specify a Pillar environment to be used when applying states. This can  also
                     be  set  in  the minion config file using the pillarenv option. When neither
                     the pillarenv minion config option nor this CLI argument is used, all Pillar
                     environments will be merged together.

              localconfig
                     Optionally,  instead  of  using the minion config, load minion opts from the
                     file specified by this argument, and then merge them with the  options  from
                     the  minion  config. This functionality allows for specific states to be run
                     with their own custom minion  configuration,  including  different  pillars,
                     file_roots, etc.

                        salt '*' state.apply stuff localconfig=/path/to/minion.yml

              sync_mods
                     If  specified,  the  desired  custom  module  types  will be synced prior to
                     running the SLS files:

                        salt '*' state.apply stuff sync_mods=states,modules
                        salt '*' state.apply stuff sync_mods=all

                     NOTE:
                        This option is ignored when no SLS files are specified,  as  a  highstate
                        automatically syncs all custom module types.

                     New in version 2017.7.8,2018.3.3,2019.2.0.

       salt.modules.state.check_request(name=None)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Return the state request information, if any

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.check_request

       salt.modules.state.clear_cache()
              Clear  out  cached state files, forcing even cache runs to refresh the cache on the
              next state execution.

              Remember that the state cache is completely disabled  by  default,  this  execution
              only applies if cache=True is used in states

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.clear_cache

       salt.modules.state.clear_request(name=None)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Clear out the state execution request without executing it

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.clear_request

       salt.modules.state.disable(states)
              Disable state runs.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.disable highstate

                 salt '*' state.disable highstate,test.succeed_without_changes

              NOTE:
                 To  disable a state file from running provide the same name that would be passed
                 in a state.sls call.

                 salt '*' state.disable bind.config

       salt.modules.state.enable(states)
              Enable state function or sls run

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.enable highstate

                 salt '*' state.enable test.succeed_without_changes

              NOTE:
                 To enable a state file from running provide the same name that would  be  passed
                 in a state.sls call.

                 salt '*' state.disable bind.config

       salt.modules.state.event(tagmatch='*',     count=-    1,    quiet=False,    sock_dir=None,
       pretty=False, node='minion')
              Watch Salt's event bus and block until the given tag is matched

              New in version 2016.3.0.

              Changed in version  2019.2.0:  tagmatch  can  now  be  either  a  glob  or  regular
              expression.

              This  is  useful  for  utilizing  Salt's event bus from shell scripts or for taking
              simple actions directly from the CLI.

              Enable debug logging to see ignored events.

              Parameterstagmatch -- the event is written to stdout for each tag that matches  this
                       glob or regular expression.

                     • count  --  this  number  is  decremented  for  each event that matches the
                       tagmatch parameter; pass -1 to listen forever.

                     • quiet -- do not print to stdout; just block

                     • sock_dir -- path to the Salt master's event socket file.

                     • pretty -- Output the JSON all on a single line if False (useful for  shell
                       tools); pretty-print the JSON output if True.

                     • node -- Watch the minion-side or master-side event bus.

              CLI Example:

                 salt-call --local state.event pretty=True

       salt.modules.state.get_pauses(jid=None)
              Get  a  report  on  all  of the currently paused state runs and pause run settings.
              Optionally send in a jid if you only desire to see a single pause data set.

       salt.modules.state.high(data, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute the compound calls stored in a single set of high data

              This function is mostly intended for testing the state system and is not likely  to
              be needed in everyday usage.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.high '{"vim": {"pkg": ["installed"]}}'

       salt.modules.state.highstate(test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Retrieve the state data from the salt master for this minion and execute it

              test   Run states in test-only (dry-run) mode

              pillar Custom Pillar values, passed as a dictionary of key-value pairs

                        salt '*' state.highstate stuff pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'

                     NOTE:
                        Values  passed  this way will override Pillar values set via pillar_roots
                        or an external Pillar source.

                     Changed in version 2016.3.0: GPG-encrypted CLI Pillar data is now  supported
                     via the GPG renderer. See here for details.

              pillar_enc
                     Specify  which  renderer to use to decrypt encrypted data located within the
                     pillar value. Currently, only gpg is supported.

                     New in version 2016.3.0.

              exclude
                     Exclude specific states from execution. Accepts  a  list  of  sls  names,  a
                     comma-separated  string  of  sls names, or a list of dictionaries containing
                     sls or id keys. Glob-patterns may be used to match multiple states.

                        salt '*' state.highstate exclude=bar,baz
                        salt '*' state.highstate exclude=foo*
                        salt '*' state.highstate exclude="[{'id': 'id_to_exclude'}, {'sls': 'sls_to_exclude'}]"

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

                     Changed in version 0.17.0: Argument name changed from env to saltenv.

                     Changed in version 2014.7.0: If no saltenv is specified, the  minion  config
                     will  be  checked  for a saltenv parameter and if found, it will be used. If
                     none is found, base will be used. In prior releases, the minion  config  was
                     not  checked  and  base  would  always  be  assumed when the saltenv was not
                     explicitly set.

              pillarenv
                     Specify a Pillar environment to be used when applying states. This can  also
                     be  set  in  the minion config file using the pillarenv option. When neither
                     the pillarenv minion config option nor this CLI argument is used, all Pillar
                     environments will be merged together.

              queue  False  Instead of failing immediately when another state run is in progress,
                     queue the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This option starts a new thread for each  queued  state  run,  so  use  this
                     option sparingly.

              localconfig
                     Optionally,  instead  of  using the minion config, load minion opts from the
                     file specified by this argument, and then merge them with the  options  from
                     the  minion  config. This functionality allows for specific states to be run
                     with their own custom minion  configuration,  including  different  pillars,
                     file_roots, etc.

              mock   The mock option allows for the state run to execute without actually calling
                     any states. This then returns a mocked return which will show the  requisite
                     ordering as well as fully validate the state run.

                     New in version 2015.8.4.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' state.highstate

                 salt '*' state.highstate whitelist=sls1_to_run,sls2_to_run
                 salt '*' state.highstate exclude=sls_to_exclude
                 salt '*' state.highstate exclude="[{'id': 'id_to_exclude'}, {'sls': 'sls_to_exclude'}]"

                 salt '*' state.highstate pillar="{foo: 'Foo!', bar: 'Bar!'}"

       salt.modules.state.id_exists(ids, mods, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Tests  for  the  existence of a specific ID or list of IDs within the specified SLS
              file(s).  Similar  to  state.sls_exists,  returns  True  or  False.   The   default
              environment is base``, use saltenv to specify a different environment.

              New in version 2019.2.0.

              saltenv
                     Specify  a  salt fileserver environment from which to look for the SLS files
                     specified in the mods argument

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.id_exists create_myfile,update_template filestate saltenv=dev

       salt.modules.state.list_disabled()
              List the states which are currently disabled

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.list_disabled

       salt.modules.state.low(data, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute a single low data call

              This function is mostly intended for testing the state system and is not likely  to
              be needed in everyday usage.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.low '{"state": "pkg", "fun": "installed", "name": "vi"}'

       salt.modules.state.orchestrate(mods, saltenv='base', test=None, exclude=None, pillar=None,
       pillarenv=None)
              New in version 2016.11.0.

              Execute the orchestrate runner from a masterless minion.

       salt.modules.state.pause(jid, state_id=None, duration=None)
              Set up a state id pause, this instructs a running state to pause at a  given  state
              id. This needs to pass in the jid of the running state and can optionally pass in a
              duration in seconds. If a state_id is not passed then the jid  referenced  will  be
              paused at the beginning of the next state run.

              The  given  state  id  is the id got a given state execution, so given a state that
              looks like this:

                 vim:
                   pkg.installed: []

              The state_id to pass to pause is vim

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' state.pause 20171130110407769519
                 salt '*' state.pause 20171130110407769519 vim
                 salt '*' state.pause 20171130110407769519 vim 20

       salt.modules.state.pkg(pkg_path, pkg_sum, hash_type, test=None, **kwargs)
              Execute a packaged state run, the packaged  state  run  will  exist  in  a  tarball
              available locally. This packaged state can be generated using salt-ssh.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.pkg /tmp/salt_state.tgz 760a9353810e36f6d81416366fc426dc md5

       salt.modules.state.request(mods=None, **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Request  that  the local admin execute a state run via salt-call state.run_request.
              All arguments match those of state.apply.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.request
                 salt '*' state.request stuff
                 salt '*' state.request stuff,pkgs

       salt.modules.state.resume(jid, state_id=None)
              Remove a pause from a jid,  allowing  it  to  continue.  If  the  state_id  is  not
              specified then the a general pause will be resumed.

              The  given  state_id  is  the id got a given state execution, so given a state that
              looks like this:

                 vim:
                   pkg.installed: []

              The state_id to pass to rm_pause is vim

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' state.resume 20171130110407769519
                 salt '*' state.resume 20171130110407769519 vim

       salt.modules.state.run_request(name='default', **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Execute the pending state request

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.run_request

       salt.modules.state.running(concurrent=False)
              Return a list of strings that contain state return data  if  a  state  function  is
              already  running.  This function is used to prevent multiple state calls from being
              run at the same time.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.running

       salt.modules.state.show_highstate(queue=False, **kwargs)
              Retrieve the highstate data from the salt master and display it

              Custom Pillar data can be passed with the pillar kwarg.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.show_highstate

       salt.modules.state.show_low_sls(mods, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Display the low data from a specific sls. The  default  environment  is  base,  use
              saltenv to specify a different environment.

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

              pillar Custom Pillar values, passed as a dictionary of key-value pairs

                        salt '*' state.show_low_sls stuff pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'

                     NOTE:
                        Values  passed  this way will override Pillar values set via pillar_roots
                        or an external Pillar source.

              pillarenv
                     Specify a Pillar environment to be used when applying states. This can  also
                     be  set  in  the minion config file using the pillarenv option. When neither
                     the pillarenv minion config option nor this CLI argument is used, all Pillar
                     environments will be merged together.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.show_low_sls foo
                 salt '*' state.show_low_sls foo saltenv=dev

       salt.modules.state.show_lowstate(queue=False, **kwargs)
              List out the low data that will be applied to this minion

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.show_lowstate

       salt.modules.state.show_sls(mods, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Display  the state data from a specific sls or list of sls files on the master. The
              default environment is base, use saltenv to specify a different environment.

              This function does not support topfiles.  For top.sls please use show_top instead.

              Custom Pillar data can be passed with the pillar kwarg.

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

              pillarenv
                     Specify a Pillar environment to be used when applying states. This can  also
                     be  set  in  the minion config file using the pillarenv option. When neither
                     the pillarenv minion config option nor this CLI argument is used, all Pillar
                     environments will be merged together.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.show_sls core,edit.vim saltenv=dev

       salt.modules.state.show_state_usage(queue=False, **kwargs)
              Retrieve the highstate data from the salt master to analyse used and unused states

              Custom Pillar data can be passed with the pillar kwarg.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.show_state_usage

       salt.modules.state.show_states(queue=False, **kwargs)
              Returns the list of states that will be applied on highstate.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.show_states

              New in version 2019.2.0.

       salt.modules.state.show_top(queue=False, **kwargs)
              Return the top data that the minion will use for a highstate

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.show_top

       salt.modules.state.single(fun, name, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute   a  single  state  function  with  the  named  kwargs,  returns  False  if
              insufficient data is sent to the command

              By default, the values of the kwargs will be parsed as YAML. So,  you  can  specify
              lists  values, or lists of single entry key-value maps, as you would in a YAML salt
              file. Alternatively, JSON format of keyword values is also supported.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.single pkg.installed name=vim

       salt.modules.state.sls(mods,   test=None,   exclude=None,   queue=False,   sync_mods=None,
       **kwargs)
              Execute the states in one or more SLS files

              test   Run states in test-only (dry-run) mode

              pillar Custom Pillar values, passed as a dictionary of key-value pairs

                        salt '*' state.sls stuff pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'

                     NOTE:
                        Values  passed  this  way  will  override  existing Pillar values set via
                        pillar_roots or an external Pillar source.  Pillar values  that  are  not
                        included in the kwarg will not be overwritten.

                     Changed  in version 2016.3.0: GPG-encrypted CLI Pillar data is now supported
                     via the GPG renderer. See here for details.

              pillar_enc
                     Specify which renderer to use to decrypt encrypted data located  within  the
                     pillar value. Currently, only gpg is supported.

                     New in version 2016.3.0.

              exclude
                     Exclude  specific  states  from  execution.  Accepts  a list of sls names, a
                     comma-separated string of sls names, or a list  of  dictionaries  containing
                     sls or id keys. Glob-patterns may be used to match multiple states.

                        salt '*' state.sls foo,bar,baz exclude=bar,baz
                        salt '*' state.sls foo,bar,baz exclude=ba*
                        salt '*' state.sls foo,bar,baz exclude="[{'id': 'id_to_exclude'}, {'sls': 'sls_to_exclude'}]"

              queue  False  Instead of failing immediately when another state run is in progress,
                     queue the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This option starts a new thread for each  queued  state  run,  so  use  this
                     option sparingly.

              concurrent
                     False Execute state runs concurrently instead of serially

                     WARNING:
                        This  flag is potentially dangerous. It is designed for use when multiple
                        state runs can safely be run at the same time. Do not use this  flag  for
                        performance optimization.

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

                     Changed in version 0.17.0: Argument name changed from env to saltenv.

                     Changed  in  version 2014.7.0: If no saltenv is specified, the minion config
                     will be checked for an environment parameter and if found, it will be  used.
                     If  none  is  found, base will be used. In prior releases, the minion config
                     was not checked and base would always be assumed when the  saltenv  was  not
                     explicitly set.

              pillarenv
                     Specify  a Pillar environment to be used when applying states. This can also
                     be set in the minion config file using the pillarenv  option.  When  neither
                     the pillarenv minion config option nor this CLI argument is used, all Pillar
                     environments will be merged together.

              localconfig
                     Optionally, instead of using the minion config, load minion  opts  from  the
                     file  specified  by this argument, and then merge them with the options from
                     the minion config. This functionality allows for specific states to  be  run
                     with  their  own  custom  minion configuration, including different pillars,
                     file_roots, etc.

              mock   The mock option allows for the state run to execute without actually calling
                     any  states. This then returns a mocked return which will show the requisite
                     ordering as well as fully validate the state run.

              sync_mods
                     If specified, the desired custom  module  types  will  be  synced  prior  to
                     running the SLS files:

                        salt '*' state.sls stuff sync_mods=states,modules
                        salt '*' state.sls stuff sync_mods=all

                     New in version 2017.7.8,2018.3.3,2019.2.0.

              CLI Example:

                 # Run the states configured in salt://example.sls (or salt://example/init.sls)
                 salt '*' state.apply example

                 # Run the states configured in salt://core.sls (or salt://core/init.sls)
                 # and salt://edit/vim.sls (or salt://edit/vim/init.sls)
                 salt '*' state.sls core,edit.vim

                 # Run the states configured in a more deeply nested directory such as salt://my/nested/state.sls (or salt://my/nested/state/init.sls)
                 salt '*' state.sls my.nested.state

                 salt '*' state.sls myslsfile pillar="{foo: 'Foo!', bar: 'Bar!'}"

       salt.modules.state.sls_exists(mods, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Tests  for  the existence the of a specific SLS or list of SLS files on the master.
              Similar to state.show_sls, rather than returning state  details,  returns  True  or
              False.  The  default  environment  is  base,  use  saltenv  to  specify a different
              environment.

              New in version 2019.2.0.

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment from which to look for the  SLS  files
                     specified in the mods argument

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.sls_exists core,edit.vim saltenv=dev

       salt.modules.state.sls_id(id_, mods, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Call a single ID from the named module(s) and handle all requisites

              The state ID comes before the module ID(s) on the command line.

              id     ID to call

              mods   Comma-delimited list of modules to search for given id and its requisites

              New in version 2014.7.0.

              saltenv
                     base Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

              pillarenv
                     Specify  a Pillar environment to be used when applying states. This can also
                     be set in the minion config file using the pillarenv  option.  When  neither
                     the pillarenv minion config option nor this CLI argument is used, all Pillar
                     environments will be merged together.

              pillar Custom Pillar values, passed as a dictionary of key-value pairs

                        salt '*' state.sls_id my_state my_module pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'

                     NOTE:
                        Values passed this way will  override  existing  Pillar  values  set  via
                        pillar_roots  or  an  external Pillar source.  Pillar values that are not
                        included in the kwarg will not be overwritten.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.sls_id my_state my_module

                 salt '*' state.sls_id my_state my_module,a_common_module

       salt.modules.state.soft_kill(jid, state_id=None)
              Set up a state run to die before executing the given state  id,  this  instructs  a
              running  state to safely exit at a given state id. This needs to pass in the jid of
              the running state.  If a state_id is not passed then the  jid  referenced  will  be
              safely exited at the beginning of the next state run.

              The  given  state  id  is the id got a given state execution, so given a state that
              looks like this:

                 vim:
                   pkg.installed: []

              The state_id to pass to soft_kill is vim

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' state.soft_kill 20171130110407769519
                 salt '*' state.soft_kill 20171130110407769519 vim

       salt.modules.state.template(tem, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute the information stored in a template file on the minion.

              This function does not ask a master for a SLS file to render but  instead  directly
              processes the file at the provided path on the minion.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.template '<Path to template on the minion>'

       salt.modules.state.template_str(tem, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute the information stored in a string from an sls template

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.template_str '<Template String>'

       salt.modules.state.test(*args, **kwargs)
              New in version 3001.

              Alias for state.apply with the kwarg test forced to True.

              This  is  a nicety to avoid the need to type out test=True and the possibility of a
              typo causing changes you do not intend.

       salt.modules.state.top(topfn, test=None, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute a specific top file instead  of  the  default.  This  is  useful  to  apply
              configurations  from  a  different  environment (for example, dev or prod), without
              modifying the default top file.

              queue  False Instead of failing immediately when another state run is in  progress,
                     queue the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This  option  starts  a  new  thread  for each queued state run, so use this
                     option sparingly.

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

              pillarenv
                     Specify a Pillar environment to be used when applying states. This can  also
                     be  set  in  the minion config file using the pillarenv option. When neither
                     the pillarenv minion config option nor this CLI argument is used, all Pillar
                     environments will be merged together.

                     New in version 2017.7.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' state.top reverse_top.sls
                 salt '*' state.top prod_top.sls exclude=sls_to_exclude
                 salt '*' state.top dev_top.sls exclude="[{'id': 'id_to_exclude'}, {'sls': 'sls_to_exclude'}]"

   salt.modules.status
       Module  for  returning  various  status data about a minion.  These data can be useful for
       compiling into stats later.

       salt.modules.status.all_status()
              Return a composite of all status data and info for this minion.  Warning: There  is
              a LOT here!

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' status.all_status

       salt.modules.status.cpuinfo()
              Changed in version 2016.3.2: Return the CPU info for this minion

              Changed in version 2016.11.4: Added support for AIX

              Changed in version 2018.3.0: Added support for NetBSD and OpenBSD

                 salt '*' status.cpustats

       salt.modules.status.custom()
              Return  a  custom  composite  of status data and info for this minion, based on the
              minion config file. An example config like might be:

                 status.cpustats.custom: [ 'cpu', 'ctxt', 'btime', 'processes' ]

              Where status refers to status.py, cpustats is the function where we get  our  data,
              and custom is this function It is followed by a list of keys that we want returned.

              This  function  is  meant  to  replace  all_status(),  which  returns  anything and
              everything, which we probably don't want.

              By default, nothing is returned. Warning: Depending on what you include, there  can
              be a LOT here!

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' status.custom

       Inspired by the S3 and Nova modules

       depends

              • swiftclient Python module

       configuration
              This  module  is  not  usable  until  the  user,  tenant, auth URL, and password or
              auth_key are specified either in a pillar or in  the  minion's  config  file.   For
              example:

                 keystone.user: admin
                 keystone.tenant: admin
                 keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'
                 keystone.password: verybadpass
                 # or
                 keystone.auth_key: 203802934809284k2j34lkj2l3kj43k

              If configuration for multiple OpenStack accounts is required, they can be set up as
              different configuration profiles: For example:

                 openstack1:
                   keystone.user: admin
                   keystone.tenant: admin
                   keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/v2.0/'
                   keystone.password: verybadpass
                   # or
                   keystone.auth_key: 203802934809284k2j34lkj2l3kj43k

                 openstack2:
                   keystone.user: admin
                   keystone.tenant: admin
                   keystone.auth_url: 'http://127.0.0.2:5000/v2.0/'
                   keystone.password: verybadpass
                   # or
                   keystone.auth_key: 303802934809284k2j34lkj2l3kj43k

              With this configuration in place, any of the swift functions  can  make  use  of  a
              configuration profile by declaring it explicitly.  For example:

                 salt '*' swift.get mycontainer myfile /tmp/file profile=openstack1

              NOTE: For Rackspace cloud files setting keystone.auth_version = 1 is recommended.

       salt.modules.swift.delete(cont, path=None, profile=None)
              Delete a container, or delete an object from a container.

              CLI Example to delete a container:

                 salt myminion swift.delete mycontainer

              CLI Example to delete an object from a container:

                 salt myminion swift.delete mycontainer remoteobject

       salt.modules.swift.get(cont=None,     path=None,     local_file=None,    return_bin=False,
       profile=None)
              List the contents of a container,  or  return  an  object  from  a  container.  Set
              return_bin  to  True in order to retrieve an object wholesale. Otherwise, Salt will
              attempt to parse an XML response.

              CLI Example to list containers:

                 salt myminion swift.get

              CLI Example to list the contents of a container:

                 salt myminion swift.get mycontainer

              CLI Example to return the binary contents of an object:

                 salt myminion swift.get mycontainer myfile.png return_bin=True

              CLI Example to save the binary contents of an object to a local file:

                 salt myminion swift.get mycontainer myfile.png local_file=/tmp/myfile.png

       salt.modules.swift.head()

       salt.modules.swift.put(cont, path=None, local_file=None, profile=None)
              Create a new container, or upload an object to a container.

              CLI Example to create a container:

                 salt myminion swift.put mycontainer

              CLI Example to upload an object to a container:

                 salt myminion swift.put mycontainer remotepath local_file=/path/to/file

   salt.modules.sysbench
       The 'sysbench' module is used to analyze the performance of the minions,  right  from  the
       master!   It measures various system parameters such as CPU, Memory, File I/O, Threads and
       Mutex.

       salt.modules.sysbench.cpu()
              Tests for the CPU performance of minions.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' sysbench.cpu

       salt.modules.sysbench.fileio()
              This tests for the file read and write operations Various modes of operations are

              • sequential write

              • sequential rewrite

              • sequential read

              • random read

              • random write

              • random read and write

              The test works with 32 files with each file being 1Gb in size The test  consumes  a
              lot of time. Be patient!

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' sysbench.fileio

       salt.modules.sysbench.memory()
              This tests the memory for read and write operations.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' sysbench.memory

       salt.modules.sysbench.mutex()
              Tests the implementation of mutex

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' sysbench.mutex

       salt.modules.sysbench.ping()

   salt.modules.syslog_ng
       Module for getting information about syslog-ng

       depends
              cmd

       platform
              all

       This module is capable of managing syslog-ng instances which were installed via a  package
       manager  or  from  source.  Users  can  use a directory as a parameter in the case of most
       functions, which contains the syslog-ng and syslog-ng-ctl binaries.

       Syslog-ng can be installed via a package manager or from source. In the latter  case,  the
       syslog-ng  and syslog-ng-ctl binaries are not available from the PATH, so users should set
       location of the sbin directory with syslog_ng.set_binary_path.

       Similarly,  users  can   specify   the   location   of   the   configuration   file   with
       syslog_ng.set_config_file,  then  the module will use it. If it is not set, syslog-ng uses
       the default configuration file.

       class salt.modules.syslog_ng.Argument(value='')
              A TypedParameterValue has one or more Arguments. For example this can be the  value

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.config(name, config, write=True)
              Builds syslog-ng configuration. This function is intended to be used from the state
              module, users should not use it directly!

              name  :  the  id  of  the  Salt document or it is the format of <statement name>.id
              config : the parsed YAML code write : if True,  it  writes   the  config  into  the
              configuration file, otherwise just returns it

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.config name='s_local' config="[{'tcp':[{'ip':'127.0.0.1'},{'port':1233}]}]"

              Returns the available modules. If syslog_ng_sbin_dir is specified, it is  added  to
              the PATH during the execution of the command syslog-ng.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.modules
                 salt '*' syslog_ng.modules /home/user/install/syslog-ng/sbin

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.reload_(name)
              Reloads syslog-ng. This function is intended to be used from states.

              If  syslog_ng.set_config_file,  is  called  before,  this function will use the set
              binary path.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.reload

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.set_binary_path(name)
              Sets the path, where the syslog-ng binary can be found. This function  is  intended
              to be used from states.

              If  syslog-ng  is  installed  via  a  package manager, users don't need to use this
              function.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.set_binary_path name=/usr/sbin

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.set_parameters(version=None,  binary_path=None,   config_file=None,
       *args, **kwargs)
              Sets variables.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.set_parameters version='3.6'
                 salt '*' syslog_ng.set_parameters  binary_path=/home/user/install/syslog-ng/sbin config_file=/home/user/install/syslog-ng/etc/syslog-ng.conf

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.start(name=None,  user=None,  group=None,  chroot=None,  caps=None,

       trace=False, yydebug=False, persist_file=None, control=None, worker_threads=None)
              Ensures,  that  syslog-ng  is  started  via  the given parameters. This function is
              intended to be used from the state module.

              Users shouldn't use this function, if the service  module  is  available  on  their
              system.  If syslog_ng.set_config_file, is called before, this function will use the
              set binary path.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.start

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.stats(syslog_ng_sbin_dir=None)
              Returns statistics from the running syslog-ng instance.  If  syslog_ng_sbin_dir  is
              specified,   it  is  added  to  the  PATH  during  the  execution  of  the  command
              syslog-ng-ctl.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.stats

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.stop(name=None)
              Kills syslog-ng. This function is intended to be used from the state module.

              Users shouldn't use this function, if the service  module  is  available  on  their
              system.   If syslog_ng.set_config_file is called before, this function will use the
              set binary path.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.stop

       salt.modules.syslog_ng.version(syslog_ng_sbin_dir=None)
              Returns the version of the installed syslog-ng. If syslog_ng_sbin_dir is specified,
              it is added to the PATH during the execution of the command syslog-ng.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' syslog_ng.version

       salt.modules.system.set_computer_desc(desc)
              Set  PRETTY_HOSTNAME value stored in /etc/machine-info This will create the file if
              it does not exist. If it is unable to create or modify this file returns False.

              Parameters
                     desc (str) -- The computer description

              Returns
                     False on failure. True if successful.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' system.set_computer_desc "Michael's laptop"

       salt.modules.system.set_computer_name(hostname)
              Modify hostname.

                 salt '*' system.set_computer_name master.saltstack.com

       salt.modules.system.set_reboot_required_witnessed()
              This function is used to remember  that  an  event  indicating  that  a  reboot  is
              required was witnessed. This function writes to a temporary filesystem so the event
              gets cleared upon reboot.

              Returns
                     True if successful, otherwise False

              Return type
                     bool

                 salt '*' system.set_reboot_required_witnessed

       salt.modules.system.set_system_date(newdate, utc_offset=None)
              Set the system date. Use <mm-dd-yy> format for the date.

              Parameters
                     newdate (str) --

                     The date to set. Can be any of the following formats:

                     • YYYY-MM-DD

                     • MM-DD-YYYY

                     • MM-DD-YY

                     • MM/DD/YYYY

                     • MM/DD/YY

                     • YYYY/MM/DD

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' system.set_system_date '03-28-13'

       salt.modules.system.set_system_date_time(years=None, months=None,  days=None,  hours=None,
       minutes=None, seconds=None, utc_offset=None)
              Set  the  system  date  and  time. Each argument is an element of the date, but not
              required. If an element is not passed, the current system value  for  that  element
              will be used. For example, if you don't pass the year, the current system year will
              be used. (Used by set_system_date and set_system_time)

              Updates hardware clock, if present, in addition to software (kernel) clock.

              Parametersyears (int) -- Years digit, ie: 2015

                     • months (int) -- Months digit: 1 - 12

                     • days (int) -- Days digit: 1 - 31

                     • hours (int) -- Hours digit: 0 - 23

                     • minutes (int) -- Minutes digit: 0 - 59

                     • seconds (int) -- Seconds digit: 0 - 59

                     • utc_offset (str) -- The utc offset in  4  digit  (+0600)  format  with  an
                       optional  sign  (+/-).   Will  default  to  None  which will use the local
                       timezone. To set the time based off of UTC use "'+0000'". Note:  if  being
                       passed  through  the  command  line  will need to be quoted twice to allow
                       negative offsets.

              Returns
                     True if successful. Otherwise False.

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' system.set_system_date_time 2015 5 12 11 37 53 "'-0500'"

       salt.modules.system.set_system_time(newtime, utc_offset=None)
              Set the system time.

              Parametersnewtime (str) --

                       The time to set. Can be any of the following formats.  - HH:MM:SS AM/PM  -
                       HH:MM AM/PM - HH:MM:SS (24 hour) - HH:MM (24 hour)

                       Note  that  the  salt  command  line parser parses the date/time before we
                       obtain the argument (preventing us from doing utc) Therefore the  argument
                       must  be  passed  in  as a string.  Meaning you may have to quote the text
                       twice from the command line.

                     • utc_offset (str) -- The utc offset in  4  digit  (+0600)  format  with  an
                       optional  sign  (+/-).   Will  default  to  None  which will use the local
                       timezone. To set the time based off of UTC use "'+0000'". Note:  if  being

                       negative offsets.

              Returns
                     Returns True if successful. Otherwise False.

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' system.set_system_time "'11:20'"

       salt.modules.system.shutdown(at_time=None)
              Shutdown a running system

              at_time
                     The wait time in minutes before the system will be shutdown.

   salt.modules.system_profiler
       System Profiler Module

       Interface with macOS's command-line System  Profiler  utility  to  get  information  about
       package receipts and installed applications.

       New in version 2015.5.0.

       salt.modules.system_profiler.applications()
              Return   the   results   of   a   call   to   system_profiler   -xml  -detail  full
              SPApplicationsDataType as a dictionary.  Top-level keys of the dictionary  are  the
              names  of  each  set of install receipts, since there can be multiple receipts with
              the same name.  Contents of each key are a list of dictionaries.

              Note that this can take  a  long  time  depending  on  how  many  applications  are
              installed on the target Mac.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' systemprofiler.applications

       salt.modules.system_profiler.receipts()
              Return   the   results   of   a   call   to   system_profiler   -xml  -detail  full
              SPInstallHistoryDataType as a dictionary.  Top-level keys of the dictionary are the
              names  of  each  set of install receipts, since there can be multiple receipts with
              the same name.  Contents of each key are a list of dictionaries.

   salt.modules.systemd_service
       Provides the service module for systemd

       New in version 0.10.0.

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage services on a  minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different module (or gives an error similar to 'service.start' is not
          available), see here.

       IMPORTANT:
          This is an implementation of virtual 'service' module. As such, you must call it  under
          the name 'service' and NOT 'systemd'. You can see that also in the examples below.

       salt.modules.systemd_service.available(name)
              New in version 0.10.4.

              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate  commands  run  by  this  function  from  the
              salt-minion daemon's control group. This is done to avoid a race condition in cases
              where the salt-minion service is restarted while a service is  being  modified.  If
              desired,  usage  of  systemd-run(1)  can  be  suppressed by setting a config option
              called systemd.scope, with a value of False (no quotes).

              New in version 2015.8.0.

              Changed in version 2015.8.5: The return data for this function has changed. If  the
              service  is  masked,  the  return  value  will  now  be the output of the systemctl
              is-enabled command (so that a persistent mask can be distinguished from  a  runtime
              mask). If the service is not masked, then False will be returned.

              Changed  in  version 2017.7.0: This function now returns a boolean telling the user
              whether a mask specified by the new runtime argument is set. If runtime  is  False,
              this  function  will return True if an indefinite mask is set for the named service
              (otherwise False will be returned). If runtime is False, this function will  return
              True if a runtime mask is set, otherwise False.

                     New  in  version  2017.7.0: In previous versions, this function would simply
                     return the output of systemctl is-enabled when the service was found  to  be
                     masked.  However,  since  it  is  possible  to both have both indefinite and
                     runtime masks on a service simultaneously, this function now only checks for
                     runtime masks if this argument is set to True.  Otherwise, it will check for
                     an indefinite mask.

              The output has the same structure as the extract execution function, the difference
              being that index is capable to identify what template to use, based on the platform
              details and the command.

              command

              exclude_pat
                     Glob  or  regex  to  exclude  certain files from being cached from the given
                     path.  If matching with a  regex,  the  regex  must  be  prefixed  with  E@,
                     otherwise the expression will be interpreted as a glob.

                     NOTE:
                        If  used  with  include_pat, files matching this pattern will be excluded
                        from the subset of files defined by include_pat.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' textfsm.index 'sh ver' platform=Juniper output_file=salt://textfsm/juniper_version_example textfsm_path=salt://textfsm/
                 salt '*' textfsm.index 'sh ver' output_file=salt://textfsm/juniper_version_example textfsm_path=ftp://textfsm/ platform_column_name=Vendor
                 salt '*' textfsm.index 'sh ver' output_file=salt://textfsm/juniper_version_example textfsm_path=https://some-server/textfsm/ platform_column_name=Vendor platform_grain_name=vendor

              TextFSM index file example:

              salt://textfsm/index

                 Template, Hostname, Vendor, Command
                 juniper_version_template, .*, Juniper, sh[[ow]] ve[[rsion]]

              The usage  can  be  simplified,  by  defining  (some  of)  the  following  options:
              textfsm_platform_grain,      textfsm_path,     textfsm_platform_column_name,     or
              textfsm_index_file, in the (proxy) minion configuration file or pillar.

              Configuration example:

                 textfsm_platform_grain: vendor
                 textfsm_path: salt://textfsm/
                 textfsm_platform_column_name: Vendor

              And the CLI usage becomes as simple as:

                 salt '*' textfsm.index 'sh ver' output_file=salt://textfsm/juniper_version_example

              Usgae inside a Jinja template:

                 {%- set command = 'sh ver' -%}
                 {%- set output = salt.net.cli(command) -%}
                 {%- set textfsm_extract = salt.textfsm.index(command, output=output) -%}

   salt.modules.timezone
       Module for managing timezone on POSIX-like systems.

       salt.modules.timezone.get_hwclock()
              Get current hardware clock setting (UTC or localtime)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' timezone.get_hwclock

       salt.modules.timezone.get_offset()
              Get current numeric timezone offset from UTC (i.e. -0700)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' timezone.get_offset

       salt.modules.timezone.get_zone()
              Get current timezone (i.e. America/Denver)

              Changed in version 2016.11.4.

              NOTE:
                 On   AIX   operating   systems,   Posix   values   can    also    be    returned
                 'CST6CDT,M3.2.0/2:00:00,M11.1.0/2:00:00'

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' timezone.get_zone

       salt.modules.timezone.get_zonecode()
              Get current timezone (i.e. PST, MDT, etc)

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' timezone.get_zonecode

       salt.modules.timezone.set_hwclock(clock)
              Sets the hardware clock to be either UTC or localtime

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' timezone.set_hwclock UTC

       salt.modules.timezone.set_zone(timezone)
              Unlinks, then symlinks /etc/localtime to the set timezone.

              The  timezone  is  crucial  to  several  system  processes, each of which SHOULD be
              restarted (for instance, whatever you system uses as its cron and syslog  daemons).
              This will not be automagically done and must be done manually!

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' timezone.set_zone 'America/Denver'

              Changed in version 2016.11.4.

              NOTE:
                 On AIX operating systems, Posix values are also allowed, see below

                 salt '*' timezone.set_zone 'CST6CDT,M3.2.0/2:00:00,M11.1.0/2:00:00'

       salt.modules.timezone.zone_compare(timezone)
              Compares  the  given  timezone name with the system timezone name.  Checks the hash
              sum between the given timezone, and the one set in /etc/localtime. Returns True  if
              names  and  hash  sums  match,  and  False if not.  Mostly useful for running state
              checks.

              Changed in version 2016.3.0.

              NOTE:
                 On Solaris-link operating systems only a string comparison is done.

              Changed in version 2016.11.4.

              NOTE:
                 On AIX operating systems only a string comparison is done.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' timezone.zone_compare 'America/Denver'

   salt.modules.tls
       A salt module for SSL/TLS.  Can create a Certificate Authority  (CA)  or  use  Self-Signed
       certificates.

          Created Certificate for "MasterDBReplica_No.2": "/etc/pki/my_little/certs/MasterDBReplica_No.2_server.crt"

       CLI Example #4: Create a server req + cert with non-CN filename for the cert

          # salt-call tls.create_csr my_little CN=www.anothersometh.ing \
              cert_type=server type_ext=True
          Created Private Key: "/etc/pki/my_little/certs/www.anothersometh.ing_server.key."

              cert   path to the certifiate PEM file or string

                     Changed in version 2018.3.4.

              digest what digest to use for fingerprinting

              CLI Example:

       cacert_path=None,    ca_filename=None,    digest='sha256',    onlyif=None,    unless=None,
       replace=False)
              Create a Certificate Authority (CA)

              ca_name
                     name of the CA

              bits   number of RSA key bits, default is 2048

              days   number of days the CA will be valid, default is 365

              CN     common name in the request, default is "localhost"

              C      country, default is "US"

              ST     state, default is "Utah"

              L      locality, default is "Centerville", the city where SaltStack originated

              O      organization, default is "SaltStack"

              OU     organizational unit, default is None

              emailAddress

                     New in version 2015.5.3.

              digest The message digest algorithm. Must be a string describing a digest algorithm
                     supported by OpenSSL (by EVP_get_digestbyname, specifically).  For  example,
                     "md5" or "sha1". Default: 'sha256'

              replace
                     Replace this certificate even if it exists

                     New in version 2015.5.1.

              Writes  out  a CA certificate based upon defined config values. If the file already
              exists, the function just returns assuming the CA certificate already exists.

              If the following values were set:

                 ca.cert_base_path='/etc/pki'
                 ca_name='koji'

              the resulting CA, and corresponding key, would be written in the following location
              with appropriate permissions:

                 /etc/pki/koji/koji_ca_cert.crt
                 /etc/pki/koji/koji_ca_cert.key

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' tls.create_ca test_ca

       salt.modules.tls.create_ca_signed_cert(ca_name,     CN,     days=365,    cacert_path=None,
       ca_filename=None,  cert_path=None,  cert_filename=None,  digest='sha256',  cert_type=None,
       type_ext=False, replace=False)
              Create a Certificate (CERT) signed by a named Certificate Authority (CA)

              If the certificate file already exists, the function just returns assuming the CERT
              already exists.

              The CN must match an existing CSR generated by create_csr. If  it  does  not,  this
              method does nothing.

              ca_name
                     name of the CA

              CN     common name matching the certificate signing request

              days   number of days certificate is valid, default is 365 (1 year)

              cacert_path
                     absolute path to ca certificates root directory

              ca_filename
                     alternative filename for the CA

                     New in version 2015.5.3.

              cert_path
                     full path to the certificates directory

              cert_filename
                     alternative   filename  for  the  certificate,  useful  when  using  special
                     characters in the CN. If this option is set it will override the certificate
                     filename   output   effects  of  cert_type.   type_ext  will  be  completely
                     overridden.

                     New in version 2015.5.3.

              digest The message digest algorithm. Must be a string describing a digest algorithm
                     supported  by OpenSSL (by EVP_get_digestbyname, specifically).  For example,
                     "md5" or "sha1". Default: 'sha256'

              replace
                     Replace this certificate even if it exists

                     New in version 2015.5.1.

              cert_type
                     string. Either 'server' or 'client' (see create_csr() for details).

                     If create_csr(type_ext=True) this function must  be  called  with  the  same
                     cert_type so it can find the CSR file.

              NOTE:
                 create_csr()  defaults  to  cert_type='server'; therefore, if it was also called
                 with type_ext, cert_type becomes a required argument for create_ca_signed_cert()

              type_ext
                     bool. If set True, use cert_type as an extension to the CN  when  formatting
                     the filename.

                     e.g.: some_subject_CN_server.crt or some_subject_CN_client.crt

                     This  facilitates  the  context  where  both types are required for the same
                     subject

                     If cert_filename is not None, setting type_ext has no effect

              If the following values were set:

                 ca.cert_base_path='/etc/pki'
                 ca_name='koji'
                 CN='test.egavas.org'

              the resulting signed certificate would be written in the following location:

                 /etc/pki/koji/certs/test.egavas.org.crt

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' tls.create_ca_signed_cert test localhost

       salt.modules.tls.create_csr(ca_name, bits=2048, CN='localhost', C='US', ST='Utah', L='Salt

              Create  a  Certificate Signing Request (CSR) for a particular Certificate Authority
              (CA)

              ca_name
                     name of the CA

              bits   number of RSA key bits, default is 2048

              CN     common name in the request, default is "localhost"

              C      country, default is "US"

              ST     state, default is "Utah"

              L      locality, default is "Centerville", the city where SaltStack originated

              O      organization, default is "SaltStack" NOTE: Must the same as  CA  certificate
                     or an error will be raised

              OU     organizational unit, default is None

              emailAddress
                     email address for the request, default is None

              subjectAltName
                     valid  subjectAltNames  in  full  form, e.g. to add DNS entry you would call
                     this function with this value:

                 some libraries do not properly query IP: prefixes, instead looking for the given
                 req. source with a DNS: prefix. To be thorough, you may  want  to  include  both
                 DNS:  and IP: entries if you are using subjectAltNames for destinations for your
                 TLS connections.  e.g.: requests to  https://1.2.3.4  will  fail  from  python's

   salt.modules.tomcat
       Support for Tomcat

       This module uses the manager webapp to manage  Apache  tomcat  webapps.   If  the  manager
       webapp is not configured some of the functions won't work.

       configuration

              • Java bin path should be in default path

              • If  ipv6  is  enabled  make  sure  you  permit  manager  access to ipv6 interface
                "0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1"

              • If you are using tomcat.tar.gz it has to be installed or  symlinked  under  /opt,
                preferably using name tomcat

              • "tomcat.signal start/stop" works but it does not use the startup scripts

       The following grains/pillar should be set:

          tomcat-manager:
            user: <username>
            passwd: <password>

       or the old format:

          tomcat-manager.user: <username>
          tomcat-manager.passwd: <password>

       Also configure a user in the conf/tomcat-users.xml file:

          <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
          <tomcat-users>
              <role rolename="manager-script"/>
              <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-script"/>
          </tomcat-users>

            http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/manager-howto.html

          • if you use only this module for deployments you've might want to strict access to the
            manager         only        from        localhost        for        more        info:

   salt.modules.transactional_update module
   Transactional update
       New in version 3004.

       A transactional system, like MicroOS, can present some challenges when the user decided to
       manage it via Salt.

       MicroOS provide a read-only rootfs and a tool, transactional-update, that  takes  care  of
       the  management  of the system (updating, upgrading, installation or reboot, among others)
       in an atomic way.

       Atomicity is the main feature of MicroOS, and  to  guarantee  this  property,  this  model
       leverages  snapper,  zypper,  btrfs and overlayfs to create snapshots that will be updated
       independently of the currently running system, and that are activated  after  the  reboot.
       This  implies, for example, that some changes made on the system are not visible until the
       next reboot, as those changes are living in a different snapshot of the file system.

       This model presents a  lot  of  problems  with  the  traditional  Salt  model,  where  the
       inspections  (like  'is  this package installed?') are executed in order to determine if a
       subsequent action is required (like 'install this package').

       Lets consider this use case, to see how it  works  on  a  traditional  system,  and  in  a
       transactional system:

       1. Check if apache is installed

       2. If it is not installed, install it

       3. Check that a vhost is configured for apache

       4. Make sure that apache2.service is enabled

       5. If the configuration changes, restart apache2.service

       In  the  traditional  system  everything will work as expected.  The system can see if the
       package is present or not, install it if it isn't, and  a  re-check  will  shows  that  is
       already  present.   The  same  will happen to the configuration file in /etc/apache2, that
       will be available as soon the package gets installed.  Salt can inspect the  current  form
       of  this  file,  and add the missing bits if required.  Salt can annotate that a change is
       present, and restart the service.

       In a transactional system we will have multiple issues.  The first one is  that  Salt  can
       only  see  the  content of the snapshot where the system booted from.  Later snapshots may
       contain different content, including the presence of apache.  If Salt decides  to  install
       apache  calling zypper, it will fail, as this will try to write into the read-only rootfs.
       Even if Salt would call transactional-update  pkg  install,  the  package  would  only  be
       present  in the new transaction (snapshot), and will not be found in the currently running
       system when later Salt tries to validate the presence of the package in the current one.

       Any change in /etc alone will have also problems, as  the  changes  will  be  alive  in  a
       different  overlay,  only visible after the reboot.  And, finally, the service can only be
       enabled and restarted if the service file is already present in the current /etc.

   General strategy
       transactional-update is the reference tool used for the  administration  of  transactional
       systems.   Newer versions of this tool support the execution of random commands in the new
       transaction, the continuation of a transaction, the automatic detection of changes in  new
       transactions and the merge of /etc overlays.

   Continue a transaction
       One  prerequisite  already  present is the support for branching from a different snapshot
       than the current one in snapper.

       With this feature we can represent  in  transactional-update  the  action  of  creating  a
       transaction  snapshot  based on one that is planned to be the active one after the reboot.
       This feature removes a lot of user complains (like, for example, losing changes  that  are
       stored  in  a transaction not yet activated), but also provide a more simple model to work
       with.

       So, for example, if the user have this scenario:

            +-----+  *=====*  +--V--+
          --| T.1 |--| T.2 |--| T.3 |
            +-----+  *=====*  +--A--+

       where T.2 is the current active one, and T.3 is an snapshot generated from T.2 with a  new
       package (apache2), and is marked to be the active after the reboot.

       Previously, if the user (that is still on T.2) created a new transaction, maybe for adding
       a new package (tomcat, for example), the new T.4 will be  based  on  the  content  of  T.2
       again,  and  not  T.3, so the new T.4 will have lost the changes of T.3 (i.e. apache2 will
       not be present in T.4).

       With the --continue parameter, transactional-update will create  T.4  based  on  T.3,  and
       nothing will be lost.

   Command execution inside a new transaction
       With  transactional-update  run  we will create a new transaction based on the current one
       (T.2), where we can send interactive commands that can modify the new transaction, and  as
       commented,  with  transactional-update  --continue  run,  we will create a new transaction
       based on the last created (T.3)

       The run command can execute any application inside the new  transaction  namespace.   This
       module  uses  this feature to execute the different Salt execution modules, via call(). Or
       even the full salt-thin or salt-call via sls(), apply(), single() or highstate.

   transactional-update will drop empty snapshots
       The option --drop-if-no-change is used to detect whether there is any change in  the  file
       system  on  the  read-only subvolume of the new transaction will be added.  If a change is
       present, the new transaction will remain, if not it will be discarded.

       For example:

          transactional-update --continue --drop-if-no-change run zypper in apache2"

       If we are in the scenario described before, apache2 is already present in  T.3.   In  this
       case  a  new  transaction,  T.4, will be created based on T.3, zypper will detect that the
       package is already present and no change will be produced on  T.4.   At  the  end  of  the
       execution, transactional-update will validate that T.3 and T.4 are equivalent and T.4 will
       be discarded.

       If the command is:

          transactional-update --continue --drop-if-no-change run zypper in tomcat

       the new T.4 will be indeed different from T.3, and will remain after  the  transaction  is
       closed.

       With  this feature, every time that we call any function of this execution module, we will
       minimize the amount of transaction, while maintaining the idempotence so some operations.

   Report for pending transaction
       A change in the system will create a new transaction, that needs to  be  activated  via  a
       reboot.   With  pending_transaction()  we can check if a reboot is needed.  We can execute
       the reboot using the reboot() function, that will  follow  the  plan  established  by  the
       functions of the rebootmgr execution module.

   /etc overlay merge when no new transaction is created
       In  a transactional model, /etc is an overlay file system.  Changes done during the update
       are only present in the new transaction, and so will only be available after  the  reboot.
       Or  worse,  if the transaction gets dropped, because there is no change in the rootfs, the
       changes in /etc will be dropped too!.  This is designed like that in  order  to  make  the
       configuration  files for the new package available only when new package is also available
       to the user.  So, after the reboot.

       This makes sense for the case when, for example, apache2 is not  present  in  the  current
       transaction,  but we installed it.  The new snapshot contains the apache2 service, and the
       configuration files in /etc will be accessible only after the reboot.

       But  this  model  presents  an  issue.   If   we   use   transactional-update   --continue
       --drop-if-no-change  run  <command>,  where  <command>  does  not  make  any change in the
       read-only subvolume, but only in /etc (which is also read-write in  the  running  system),
       the new overlay with the changes in /etc will be dropped together with the transaction.

       To  fix  this,  transactional-update  will detect that when no change has been made on the
       read-only subvolume, but done in the overlay, the transaction  will  be  dropped  and  the
       changes in the overlay will be merged back into /etc overlay of the current transaction.

   Using the execution module
       With this module we can create states that leverage Salt into this kind of systems:

          # Install apache (low-level API)
          salt-call transactional_update.pkg_install apache2

          # We can call any execution module
          salt-call transactional_update.call pkg.install apache2

          # Or via a state
          salt-call transactional_update.single pkg.installed name=apache2

          # We can also execute a zypper directly
          salt-call transactional_update run "zypper in apache2" snapshot="continue"

          # We can reuse SLS states
          salt-call transactional_update.apply install_and_configure_apache

          # Or apply the full highstate
          salt-call transactional_update.highstate

          # Is there any change done in the system?
          salt-call transactional_update pending_transaction

          # If so, reboot via rebootmgr
          salt-call transactional_update reboot

          # We can enable the service
          salt-call service.enable apache2

          # If apache2 is available, this will work too
          salt-call service.restart apache2

   Fixing some expectations
       This  module  alone  is  an  improvement  over  the current state, but is easy to see some
       limitations and problems:

   Is not a fully transparent approach
       The user needs to know if the system is transactional or not, as  not  everything  can  be
       expressed  inside  a  transaction (for example, restarting a service inside transaction is
       not allowed).

   Two step for service restart
       In the apache2` example from the beginning we can observe the biggest  drawback.   If  the
       package  ``apache2  is missing, the new module will create a new transaction, will execute
       pkg.install  inside  the  transaction  (creating  the  salt-thin,  moving  it  inside  and
       delegating  the  execution to transactional-update CLI as part of the full state).  Inside
       the transaction we can do too the required changes in /etc for adding the new  vhost,  and
       we can enable the service via systemctl inside the same transaction.

       At  this point we will not merge the /etc overlay into the current one, and we expect from
       the user call the reboot function inside  this  module,  in  order  to  activate  the  new
       transaction and start the apache2 service.

       In  the  case  that  the  package is already there, but the configuration for the vhost is
       required, the new transaction will be dropped and the /etc overlay will be visible in  the
       live  system.   Then  from  outside  the transaction, via a different call to Salt, we can
       command a restart of the apache2 service.

       We can see that in both cases we break  the  user  expectation,  where  a  change  on  the
       configuration  will  trigger  automatically  the  restart of the associated service.  In a
       transactional scenario we need two different steps: or a reboot, or a restart from outside
       of the transaction.

       salt.modules.transactional_update.apply_(mods=None, **kwargs)
              Apply an state inside a transaction.

              This function will call transactional_update.highstate or  transactional_update.sls
              based  on  the arguments passed to this function. It exists as a more intuitive way
              of applying states.

              activate_transaction
                     If at the end of the transaction there is a pending activation (i.e there is
                     a new snaphot in the system), a new reboot will be scheduled (default False)

                 salt microos transactional_update.apply
                 salt microos transactional_update.apply stuff
                 salt microos transactional_update.apply stuff pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'
                 salt microos transactional_update.apply stuff activate_transaction=True

       salt.modules.transactional_update.bootloader(self_update=False, snapshot=None)
              Reinstall the bootloader

              Same as grub.cfg, but will also rewrite the bootloader itself.

       salt.modules.transactional_update.cleanup_snapshots(self_update=False)
              Mark unused snapshots for snapper removal.

              If the current root filesystem is identical to the active  root  filesystem  (means
              after  a  reboot, before transactional-update creates a new snapshot with updates),
              all old snapshots without a cleanup algorithm get a cleanup algorithm set. This  is
              to  make sure, that old snapshots will be deleted by snapper. See the section about
              cleanup algorithms in snapper(8).

              Call 'zypper dup'

              If  new  updates  are  available,  a  new  snapshot  is  created  and  zypper   dup
              --no-allow-vendor-change  is  used to update the snapshot. Afterwards, the snapshot
              is activated and will be used as the new root filesystem during next boot.

       salt.modules.transactional_update.grub_cfg(self_update=False, snapshot=None)
              Regenerate grub.cfg

              grub2-mkconfig(8) is called to create a new /boot/grub2/grub.cfg configuration file
              for the bootloader.

       **kwargs)
              Retrieve the state data from the salt master for this minion and execute it  inside
              a transaction.

              For  a  formal  description  of  the possible parameters accepted in this function,
              check state.highstate documentation.

              activate_transaction
                     If at the end of the transaction there is a pending activation (i.e there is
                     a new snaphot in the system), a new reboot will be scheduled (default False)

              queue  Instead  of failing immediately when another state run is in progress, queue
                     the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This option starts a new thread for each  queued  state  run,  so  use  this
                     option sparingly. (Default: False)

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos transactional_update.highstate
                 salt microos transactional_update.highstate pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'

                 salt microos transactional_update reboot

       salt.modules.transactional_update.rollback(snapshot=None)
              Set the current, given or last working snapshot as default snapshot

              Sets  the  default  root file system. On a read-only system the root file system is
              set directly using btrfs. On read-write systems snapper(8) rollback is called.

              If no snapshot number is given, the current root file system  is  set  as  the  new
              default  root  file  system.  Otherwise  number can either be a snapshot number (as
              displayed by snapper list) or the word last. last will try to reset to  the  latest
              working snapshot.

              snapshot
                     Use  the  given  snapshot  or,  if  no  number is given, the current default
                     snapshot as a base for the next snapshot. Use "last" to  indicate  the  last
                     working snapshot done.

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos transactional_update rollback

       salt.modules.transactional_update.run(command, self_update=False, snapshot=None)
              Run a command in a new snapshot

              Execute the command inside a new snapshot. By default this snaphot will remain, but
              if --drop-if-no-chage is set, the new snapshot will  be  dropped  if  there  is  no
              change in the file system.

              command
                     Command with parameters that will be executed (as string or array)

              self_update
                     Check for newer transactional-update versions.

              snapshot
                     Use  the  given  snapshot  or,  if  no  number is given, the current default
                     snapshot as a base for the next snapshot. Use  "continue"  to  indicate  the
                     last snapshot done.

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos transactional_update run "mkdir /tmp/dir" snapshot="continue"

       salt.modules.transactional_update.single(fun, name, test=None, activate_transaction=False,
       queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute  a  single  state  function  with  the  named  kwargs,  returns  False   if
              insufficient data is sent to the command

              By  default,  the  values of the kwargs will be parsed as YAML. So, you can specify
              lists values, or lists of single entry key-value maps, as you would in a YAML  salt
              file. Alternatively, JSON format of keyword values is also supported.

              activate_transaction
                     If at the end of the transaction there is a pending activation (i.e there is
                     a new snaphot in the system), a new reboot will be scheduled (default False)

              queue  Instead of failing immediately when another state run is in progress,  queue
                     the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This  option  starts  a  new  thread  for each queued state run, so use this
                     option sparingly. (Default: False)

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos transactional_update.single pkg.installed name=emacs
                 salt microos transactional_update.single pkg.installed name=emacs activate_transaction=True

       salt.modules.transactional_update.sls(mods,   saltenv='base',   test=None,   exclude=None,
       activate_transaction=False, queue=False, **kwargs)
              Execute the states in one or more SLS files inside a transaction.

              saltenv
                     Specify a salt fileserver environment to be used when applying states

              mods   List of states to execute

              test   Run states in test-only (dry-run) mode

              exclude
                     Exclude  specific  states  from  execution.  Accepts  a list of sls names, a
                     comma-separated string of sls names, or a list  of  dictionaries  containing
                     sls or id keys. Glob-patterns may be used to match multiple states.

              activate_transaction
                     If at the end of the transaction there is a pending activation (i.e there is
                     a new snaphot in the system), a new reboot will be scheduled (default False)

              queue  Instead of failing immediately when another state run is in progress,  queue
                     the new state run to begin running once the other has finished.

                     This  option  starts  a  new  thread  for each queued state run, so use this
                     option sparingly. (Default: False)

              For a formal description of the possible  parameters  accepted  in  this  function,
              check state.sls documentation.

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos transactional_update.sls stuff pillar='{"foo": "bar"}'
                 salt microos transactional_update.sls stuff activate_transaction=True

       salt.modules.transactional_update.transactional()
              Check if the system is a transactional system

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos transactional_update transactional

       salt.modules.transactional_update.up(self_update=False, snapshot=None)
              Call 'zypper up'

              If  new  updates  are available, a new snapshot is created and zypper up is used to
              update the snapshot. Afterwards, the snapshot is activated and will be used as  the
              new root filesystem during next boot.

              self_update
                     Check for newer transactional-update versions.

              snapshot
                     Use  the  given  snapshot  or,  if  no  number is given, the current default
                     snapshot as a base for the next snapshot. Use  "continue"  to  indicate  the
                     last snapshot done.

              CLI Example:

                 salt microos transactional_update up snapshot="continue"

   salt.modules.upstart_service
       Module for the management of upstart systems. The Upstart  system  only  supports  service
       starting, stopping and restarting.

       IMPORTANT:
          If  you  feel that Salt should be using this module to manage services on a minion, and
          it is using a different module (or gives an error similar  to  'service.start'  is  not
          available), see here.

       Currently  (as  of  Ubuntu  12.04)  there is no tool available to disable Upstart services
       (like update-rc.d). This[1] is the recommended way to disable an Upstart  service.  So  we
       assume that all Upstart services that have not been disabled in this manner are enabled.

       But this is broken because we do not check to see that the dependent services are enabled.
       Otherwise we would have to do something like parse the output of "initctl show-config"  to
       determine  if  all service dependencies are enabled to start on boot. For example, see the
       "start on" condition for the lightdm service below[2]. And this would be too hard.  So  we
       wait  until  the  upstart  developers  have solved this problem. :) This is to say that an
       Upstart service that is enabled may not really be enabled.

       Also, when an Upstart service is enabled, should the dependent services  be  enabled  too?
       Probably not. But there should be a notice about this, at least.

       [1] http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#disabling-a-job-from-automatically-starting

       [2] example upstart configuration file:

          lightdm
          emits login-session-start
          emits desktop-session-start
          emits desktop-shutdown
          start on ((((filesystem and runlevel [!06]) and started dbus) and (drm-device-added card0 PRIMARY_DEVICE_FOR_DISPLAY=1 or stopped udev-fallback-graphics)) or runlevel PREVLEVEL=S)
          stop on runlevel [016]

       WARNING:
          This  module  should  not  be used on Red Hat systems. For these, the rh_service module
          should be used, as it supports the hybrid upstart/sysvinit system used  in  RHEL/CentOS
          6.

       salt.modules.upstart_service.available(name)
              Returns True if the specified service is available, otherwise returns False.

              Return the status for a service.  If the name contains  globbing,  a  dict  mapping
              service name to True/False values is returned.

              Changed in version 2018.3.0: The service name can now be a glob (e.g. salt*)

              Parametersname (str) -- The name of the service to check

                     • sig (str) -- Signature to use to find the service via ps

   salt.modules.vagrant
       Work with virtual machines managed by Vagrant.

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Mapping between a Salt node id  and  the  Vagrant  machine  name  (and  the  path  to  the
       Vagrantfile  where  it  is  defined)  is stored in a Salt sdb database on the Vagrant host
       (minion) machine.  In order to use this module, sdb must be configured. An SQLite database
       is   the   recommended   storage   method.    The   URI   used   for  the  sdb  lookup  is
       "sdb://vagrant_sdb_data".

       requirements:

              • the VM host machine must have salt-minion, Vagrant and a vm provider installed.

              • the VM host must have a valid definition for sdb://vagrant_sdb_data
                 Configuration example:

                     # file /etc/salt/minion.d/vagrant_sdb.conf
                     vagrant_sdb_data:
                       driver: sqlite3
                       database: /var/cache/salt/vagrant.sqlite
                       table: sdb
                       create_table: True

       salt.modules.vagrant.destroy(name)
              Destroy and delete a virtual machine. (vagrant destroy -f)

              This also removes the salt_id name defined by vagrant.init.

              CLI Example:

                 salt <host> vagrant.destroy <salt_id>

       salt.modules.vagrant.get_machine_id(machine, cwd)
              returns the salt_id name of the Vagrant VM

              Parametersmachine -- the Vagrant machine name

                     • cwd -- the path to Vagrantfile

              Returns
                     salt_id name

       salt.modules.vagrant.get_ssh_config(name, network_mask='', get_private_key=False)
              Retrieve hints of how you might connect to a Vagrant VM.

              Parametersname -- the salt_id of the machine

                     • network_mask -- a CIDR mask to search for the VM's address

                     • get_private_key -- (default: False) return the key used for ssh login

              Returns
                     a dict of ssh login information for the VM

              CLI Example:

                 salt <host> vagrant.get_ssh_config <salt_id>
                 salt my_laptop vagrant.get_ssh_config quail1 network_mask=10.0.0.0/8 get_private_key=True

              The returned dictionary contains:

              • key_filename:  the name of the private key file on the VM host computer

              • ssh_username:  the username to be used to log in to the VM

              • ssh_host:  the IP address used to log in  to  the  VM.   (This  will  usually  be
                127.0.0.1)

              • ssh_port:  the TCP port used to log in to the VM.  (This will often be 2222)

              • [ip_address:]  (if network_mask is defined. see below)

              • [private_key:]  (if get_private_key is True) the private key for ssh_username

              About network_mask:

              Vagrant  usually  uses a redirected TCP port on its host computer to log in to a VM
              using ssh.  This redirected port and its IP address are "ssh_port" and  "ssh_host".
              The  ssh_host is usually the localhost (127.0.0.1).  This makes it impossible for a
              third machine (such as a salt-cloud master) to contact the VM  unless  the  VM  has
              another network interface defined.  You will usually want a bridged network defined
              by having a config.vm.network "public_network" statement in your Vagrantfile.

              The IP address of the bridged adapter  will  typically  be  assigned  by  DHCP  and
              unknown  to  you,  but  you should be able to determine what IP network the address
              will be chosen from.  If you enter a CIDR network mask, Salt will attempt  to  find
              the  VM's address for you.  The host machine will send an "ifconfig" command to the
              VM (using ssh to  ssh_host:ssh_port)  and  return  the  IP  address  of  the  first
              interface it can find which matches your mask.

       salt.modules.vagrant.get_vm_info(name)
              get the information for a VM.

              Parameters
                     name -- salt_id name

              Returns
                     dictionary of {'machine': x, 'cwd': y, ...}.

       salt.modules.vagrant.init(name,    cwd=None,    machine='',    runas=None,    start=False,
       vagrant_provider='', vm=None)
              Initialize a new Vagrant VM.

              This inputs all the information needed to start a Vagrant VM.  These  settings  are
              stored  in  a  Salt  sdb  database  on  the  Vagrant host minion and used to start,
              control, and query the guest VMs. The salt_id assigned here is the  key  field  for
              that database and must be unique.

              Parametersname -- The salt_id name you will use to control this VM

                     • cwd -- The path to the directory where the Vagrantfile is located

                     • machine  --  The  machine  name  in the Vagrantfile. If blank, the primary
                       machine will be used.

                     • runas -- The username on the host who owns the Vagrant work files.

                     • start -- (default: False) Start the virtual machine now.

                     • vagrant_provider -- The  name  of  a  Vagrant  VM  provider  (if  not  the
                       default).

                     • vm  --  Optionally,  all  the  above  information  may be supplied in this
                       dictionary.

              Returns
                     A string indicating success, or False.

              CLI Example:

                 salt <host> vagrant.init <salt_id> /path/to/Vagrantfile
                 salt my_laptop vagrant.init x1 /projects/bevy_master machine=quail1

       salt.modules.vagrant.list_active_vms(cwd=None)
              Return a list of machine names for active virtual machine on the  host,  which  are
              defined in the Vagrantfile at the indicated path.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' vagrant.list_active_vms  cwd=/projects/project_1

       salt.modules.vagrant.list_domains()
              Return  a  list  of  the  salt_id  names  of all available Vagrant VMs on this host
              without regard to the path where they are defined.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' vagrant.list_domains --log-level=info

              The log shows information about all known Vagrant  environments  on  this  machine.
              This data is cached and may not be completely up-to-date.

       salt.modules.vagrant.list_inactive_vms(cwd=None)
              Return  a list of machine names for inactive virtual machine on the host, which are
              defined in the Vagrantfile at the indicated path.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' virt.list_inactive_vms cwd=/projects/project_1

       salt.modules.vagrant.pause(name)
              Pause (vagrant suspend) the named VM.

              CLI Example:

                     • provision -- (False) also re-run the Vagrant provisioning scripts.

       salt.modules.vagrant.shutdown(name)
              Send a soft shutdown (vagrant halt) signal to the named vm.

              This does the same thing as vagrant.stop. Other-VM control modules use  "stop"  and
              "shutdown" to differentiate between hard and soft shutdowns.

              CLI Example:

                 salt <host> vagrant.shutdown <salt_id>

       salt.modules.vagrant.start(name)
              Start  (vagrant  up)  a  virtual machine defined by salt_id name.  The machine must
              have been previously defined using "vagrant.init".

       salt.modules.vagrant.vm_state(name='', cwd=None)
              Return list of information for all the vms indicating their state.

              If you pass a VM name in as an argument then it will return info for just the named
              VM,  otherwise  it  will  return  all  VMs  defined  by  the Vagrantfile in the cwd
              directory.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' vagrant.vm_state <name>  cwd=/projects/project_1

              returns a list of dictionaries with machine  name,  state,  provider,  and  salt_id

              role_name
                     Role name for minion tokens created.  If  omitted,  minion  tokens  will  be
                     created without any role, thus being able to inherit any master token policy
                     (including token creation capabilities). Optional.

                     For                  details                   please                   see:
                     https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/token/index.html#create-token

                     Example                                                       configuration:
                     https://www.nomadproject.io/docs/vault-integration/index.html#vault-token-role-configuration

              auth   Currently only token and approle auth types are supported. Required.

                     Approle  is  the preferred way to authenticate with Vault as it provide some
                     advanced options to control  authentication  process.   Please  visit  Vault
                     documentation                 for                 more                 info:
                     https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/approle.html

                     The token must be able to create tokens with the  policies  that  should  be
                     assigned  to minions.  You can still use the token auth via a OS environment
                     variable via this config example:

                        vault:
                          url: https://vault.service.domain:8200
                          auth:
                            method: token
                            token: sdb://osenv/VAULT_TOKEN
                        osenv:
                          driver: env

                     And then export the VAULT_TOKEN variable in your OS:

                        export VAULT_TOKEN=11111111-1111-1111-1111-1111111111111

                     Configuration keys uses or ttl may also be specified under auth to configure
                     the  tokens  generated  on  behalf  of  minions to be reused for the defined
                     number of uses or length of time in seconds.  These  settings  may  also  be
                     configured  on  the  minion when allow_minion_override is set to True in the
                     master config.

                     Defining uses will cause the salt master  to  generate  a  token  with  that
                     number  of uses rather than a single use token. This multi-use token will be
                     cached on the minion. The  type  of  minion  cache  can  be  specified  with
                     token_backend:  session  or token_backend: disk. The value of session is the
                     default, and will store the  vault  information  in  memory  only  for  that
                     session.   The  value  of  disk  will  write to an on disk file, and persist
                     between state runs (most helpful for multi-use tokens).

                        vault:
                          auth:
                            method: token
                            token: xxxxxx
                            uses: 10
                            ttl: 43200
                            allow_minion_override: True
                            token_backend: disk

                          .. versionchanged:: 3001

              policies
                     Policies that are assigned to minions when requesting  a  token.  These  can
                     either  be  static, eg saltstack/minions, or templated with grain values, eg
                     my-policies/{grains[os]}.  {minion}  is   shorthand   for   grains[id],   eg
                     saltstack/minion/{minion}.

                     IMPORTANT:
                        See  Is  Targeting  using  Grain  Data  Secure?  for  important  security
                        information. In short, everything except grains[id] is minion-controlled.

                     If a template contains a grain  which  evaluates  to  a  list,  it  will  be
                     expanded   into   multiple   policies.   For  example,  given  the  template
                     saltstack/by-role/{grains[roles]}, and a minion having these grains:

                        grains:
                            roles:
                                - web
                                - database

                     The   minion   will   have   the    policies    saltstack/by-role/web    and
                     saltstack/by-role/database.

                     NOTE:
                        List  members  which  do  not have simple string representations, such as
                        dictionaries or objects, do not work and will throw an exception. Strings
                        and numbers are examples of types which work well.

                     Optional.   If   policies   is   not   configured,   saltstack/minions   and
                     saltstack/{minion} are used as defaults.

              keys   List of keys to use to unseal vault server with the vault.unseal runner.

              • grep

   Connection
       The connection to the virtualization host can be either setup in the minion configuration,
       pillar data or overridden for each individual call.

       By  default,  the  libvirt  connection  URL  will  be guessed: the first available libvirt
       hypervisor driver will be used. This can be overridden like this:

          virt:
            connection:
              uri: lxc:///

       If the connection requires an authentication like for ESXi, this can  be  defined  in  the
       minion pillar data like this:

          virt:
            connection:
              uri: esx://10.1.1.101/?no_verify=1&auto_answer=1
              auth:
                username: user
                password: secret

   Connecting with SSH protocol
       Libvirt  can  connect  to  remote hosts using SSH using one of the ssh, libssh and libssh2
       transports. Note that libssh2 is likely to fail as it doesn't read the  known_hosts  file.
       Libvirt may also have been built without libssh or libssh2 support.

       To  use  the  SSH transport, on the minion setup an SSH agent with a key authorized on the
       remote libvirt machine.

   Per call connection setup
       New in version 2019.2.0.

       All the calls requiring the  libvirt  connection  configuration  as  mentioned  above  can
       override this configuration using connection, username and password parameters.

       This  means  that  the  following  will  list the domains on the local LXC libvirt driver,
       whatever the virt:connection is.

          salt 'hypervisor' virt.list_domains connection=lxc:///

       The calls not using the libvirt connection setup are:

       • seed_non_shared_migratevirt_typeis_*hyper

       • all migration functions

       • libvirt ESX URI formatlibvirt URI formatlibvirt authentication configuration

   Units
       Units specification

       New in version 3002.

       The string should contain a number optionally followed by a unit. The number  may  have  a
       decimal  fraction.  If  the  unit  is  not  given  then MiB are set by default.  Units can
       optionally be given in IEC style (such as MiB), although the standard single letter  style
       (such as M) is more convenient.

       Valid units include:

              source The network source, typically the bridge or network name

              mac    The desired mac address, computed if None (Default: None).

              model  The network card model (Default: depends on the hypervisor)

              Disks Definitions

              Disk dictionaries can contain the following properties:

              name   Name of the disk. This is mostly used in the name of the disk image and as a
                     key to merge with the profile data.

              format Format of the disk image, like 'qcow2', 'raw', 'vmdk'.  (Default: depends on
                     the hypervisor)

              size   Disk size in MiB

              pool   Path  to  the  folder  or  name  of  the pool where disks should be created.
                     (Default: depends on hypervisor and the virt:storagepool configuration)

                     Changed in version 3001.

                     If the value contains no '/', it is considered a pool name where to create a
                     volume.   Using  volumes  will  be  mandatory for some pools types like rdb,
                     iscsi, etc.

              model  One of the disk busses allowed by libvirt (Default: depends on hypervisor)

                     See the libvirt disk element documentation for the allowed bus types.

              image  Path to the image to use for the disk. If no image  is  provided,  an  empty
                     disk will be created (Default: None)

                     Note  that  some pool types do not support uploading an image. This list can
                     evolve with libvirt versions.

              overlay_image
                     True to create a QCOW2 disk image with image as backing file. If  False  the
                     file  pointed  to  by  the  image  property will simply be copied. (Default:
                     False)

                     Changed in version 3001.

                     This property is only valid on path-based disks, not on volumes. To create a
                     volume    with   a   backing   store,   set   the   backing_store_path   and
                     backing_store_format properties.

              backing_store_path
                     Path to the backing store image to use. This can  also  be  the  name  of  a
                     volume to use as backing store within the same pool.

                     New in version 3001.

              backing_store_format
                     Image format of the disk or volume to use as backing store. This property is
                     mandatory when using backing_store_path to avoid problems

                     New in version 3001.

              source_file
                     Absolute path to the disk image to  use.  Not  to  be  confused  with  image
                     parameter.  This  parameter  is  useful  to use disk images that are created
                     outside of this module. Can also be None for devices that have no associated
                     image like cdroms.

                     Changed in version 3001.

                     For  volume  disks, this can be the name of a volume already existing in the
                     storage pool.

              device Type of device of the disk. Can be  one  of  'disk',  'cdrom',  'floppy'  or
                     'lun'.  (Default: 'disk')

              hostname_property
                     When  using  ZFS  volumes, setting this value to a ZFS property ID will make
                     Salt store the name of the virtual machine inside this  property.  (Default:
                     None)

              sparse_volume
                     Boolean to specify whether to use a thin provisioned ZFS volume.

                     Example  profile for a bhyve VM with two ZFS disks. The first is cloned from
                     the specified image. The second disk is a thin provisioned volume.

              Create libvirt pool.

              Parametersname -- Pool name

                     • ptype -- Pool type. See libvirt documentation  for the possible values.

                     • target -- Pool full path target

                     • permissions  --  Permissions  to  set on the target folder. This is mostly
                       used for filesystem-based pool types. See Permissions definition for  more
                       details on this structure.

                     • source_devices --

                       List  of  source  devices  for pools backed by physical devices. (Default:
                       None)

                       Each  item  in  the  list  is  a  dictionary  with  path  and   optionally
                       part_separator keys. The path is the qualified name for iSCSI devices.

                       Report   to  this  libvirt  page  for  more  information  on  the  use  of
                       part_separatorsource_dir -- Path to the source directory for pools of type dir, netfs or
                       gluster.  (Default: None)

                     • source_initiator --

                       Initiator IQN for libiscsi-direct pool types. (Default: None)

                       New in version 3000.

                     • source_adapter --

                       SCSI source definition. The value is a dictionary with type, name, parent,
                       managed,  parent_wwnn,  parent_wwpn,  parent_fabric_wwn,  wwnn,  wwpn  and
                       parent_address keys.

                       The  parent_address value is a dictionary with unique_id and address keys.
                       The address represents a PCI address  and  is  itself  a  dictionary  with
                       domain,  bus,  slot  and function properties.  Report to this libvirt page
                       for the meaning and possible values of these properties.

                     • source_hosts -- List of source for pools backed  by  storage  from  remote
                       servers.  Each  item  is  the  hostname  optionally  followed  by the port
                       separated by a colon. (Default: None)

                     • source_auth --

                       Source authentication details. (Default: None)

                       The value is a dictionary with type, username and secret  keys.  The  type
                       can be one of ceph for Ceph RBD or chap for iSCSI sources.

                       The secret value links to a libvirt secret object. It is a dictionary with
                       type and value keys. The type value can be either uuid or usage.

                       Examples:

                          source_auth={
                              'type': 'ceph',
                              'username': 'admin',
                              'secret': {
                                  'type': 'uuid',
                                  'value': '2ec115d7-3a88-3ceb-bc12-0ac909a6fd87'
                              }
                          }

                          source_auth={
                              'type': 'chap',
                              'username': 'myname',
                              'secret': {
                                  'type': 'usage',
                                  'value': 'mycluster_myname'
                              }
                          }

                       Since 3000, instead the source authentication can  only  contain  username
                       and  password  properties. In this case the libvirt secret will be defined
                       and used.  For Ceph authentications a base64 encoded key is expected.

                     • source_name -- Identifier of name-based sources.

                     • source_format --

                       String representing the source format. The possible values  are  depending
                       on the source type. See libvirt documentation for the possible values.

                     • start -- Pool start (default True)

                     • transient  --  When  True,  the pool will be automatically undefined after
                       being stopped.  Note that a transient  pool  will  force  start  to  True.
                       (Default: False)

                     • connection -- libvirt connection URI, overriding defaults

                     • username -- username to connect with, overriding defaults

                     • password -- password to connect with, overriding defaults

              Permissions definition

              The permissions are described by a dictionary containing the following keys:

              mode   The octal representation of the permissions. (Default: 0711)

              owner  the numeric user ID of the owner. (Default: from the parent folder)

              group  the numeric ID of the group. (Default: from the parent folder)

              label  the SELinux label. (Default: None)

              Parametersname -- Pool name

                     • ptype --

                       Pool type. See libvirt documentation  for the possible values.

                     • target -- Pool full path target

                     • permissions  --  Permissions  to  set on the target folder. This is mostly
                       used for filesystem-based pool types. See Permissions definition for  more
                       details on this structure.

                     • source_devices --

                       List  of  source  devices  for pools backed by physical devices. (Default:
                       None)

                       Each  item  in  the  list  is  a  dictionary  with  path  and   optionally
                       part_separator keys. The path is the qualified name for iSCSI devices.

                       Report   to  this  libvirt  page  for  more  information  on  the  use  of
                       part_separatorsource_dir -- Path to the source directory for pools of type dir, netfs or
                       gluster.  (Default: None)

                     • source_initiator --

                       Initiator IQN for libiscsi-direct pool types. (Default: None)

                       New in version 3000.

                     • source_adapter --

                       SCSI source definition. The value is a dictionary with type, name, parent,
                       managed,  parent_wwnn,  parent_wwpn,  parent_fabric_wwn,  wwnn,  wwpn  and
                       parent_address keys.

                       The  parent_address value is a dictionary with unique_id and address keys.
                       The address represents a PCI address  and  is  itself  a  dictionary  with
                       domain,  bus,  slot  and function properties.  Report to this libvirt page
                       for the meaning and possible values of these properties.

                     • source_hosts -- List of source for pools backed  by  storage  from  remote
                       servers.  Each  item  is  the  hostname  optionally  followed  by the port
                       separated by a colon. (Default: None)

                     • source_auth --

                       Source authentication details. (Default: None)

                       The value is a dictionary with type, username and secret  keys.  The  type
                       can be one of ceph for Ceph RBD or chap for iSCSI sources.

                       The secret value links to a libvirt secret object. It is a dictionary with
                       type and value keys. The type value can be either uuid or usage.

                       Examples:

                          source_auth={
                              'type': 'ceph',
                              'username': 'admin',
                              'secret': {
                                  'type': 'uuid',
                                  'uuid': '2ec115d7-3a88-3ceb-bc12-0ac909a6fd87'
                              }
                          }

                          source_auth={
                              'type': 'chap',
                              'username': 'myname',
                              'secret': {
                                  'type': 'usage',
                                  'uuid': 'mycluster_myname'
                              }
                          }

                       Since 3000, instead the source authentication can  only  contain  username
                       and  password  properties. In this case the libvirt secret will be defined
                       and used.  For Ceph authentications a base64 encoded key is expected.

                     • source_name -- Identifier of name-based sources.

                     • source_format --

                       String representing the source format. The possible values  are  depending
                       on the source type. See libvirt documentation for the possible values.

                     • test -- run in dry-run mode if set to True

                     • connection -- libvirt connection URI, overriding defaults

                     • cpu --

                       Number  of  virtual  CPUs to assign to the virtual machine or a dictionary
                       with detailed information to configure cpu model and topology,  numa  node
                       tuning,  cpu  tuning  and  iothreads  allocation.  The  structure  of  the
                       dictionary is documented in cpu parameters definition.

                       To update any cpu parameters specify the new values to  the  corresponding
                       tag.  To remove any element or attribute, specify None object. Please note
                       that None object is mapped to null in yaml, use null in sls file instead.

                     • mem --

                       Amount of memory to allocate to the virtual machine in MiB. Since 3002,  a
                       dictionary  can  be  used  to contain detailed configuration which support
                       memory allocation or tuning. Supported parameters are boot, current,  max,
                       slots, hard_limit, soft_limit, swap_hard_limit, min_guarantee, hugepages ,
                       nosharepages,  locked,  source,  access,  allocation  and   discard.   The
                       structure of the dictionary is documented in  Memory parameter definition.
                       Both decimal and binary base are supported. Detail unit  specification  is
                       documented   in  Units specification. Please note that the value for slots
                       must be an integer.

                       To remove any parameters, pass a None object, for instance:  'soft_limit':
                       None.  Please  note  that None is mapped to null in sls file, pass null in
                       sls file instead.

                          - mem:

                     • disks -- Disk definitions  as  documented  in  the  init()  function.   If
                       neither  the profile nor this parameter are defined, the disk devices will
                       not be changed. However to clear disks set this parameter to empty list.

                     • nic_profile -- network interfaces profile to use

                     • interfaces -- Network interface definitions as documented  in  the  init()
                       function.   If  neither  the  profile  nor this parameter are defined, the
                       interface devices will not be changed. However to clear network interfaces
                       set this parameter to empty list.

                     • graphics -- The new graphics definition as defined in Graphics Definition.
                       If not set, the graphics will not be changed. To remove a graphics device,
                       set this parameter to {'type': 'none'}.

                     • live  --  False  to  avoid trying to live update the definition. In such a
                       case, the new definition is applied at  the  next  start  of  the  virtual
                       machine.  If  True, not all aspects of the definition can be live updated,
                       but as much as possible will be attempted. (Default: True)

                     • connection -- libvirt connection URI, overriding defaults

                     • username -- username to connect with, overriding defaults

                     • password -- password to connect with, overriding defaults

                     • boot --

                       the  virtual  machine.  This is an optional parameter, all of the keys are
                       optional within the dictionary.

                       Refer to Boot  parameters  definition  for  the  complete  boot  parameter
                       description.

                       To  update  any  boot parameters, specify the new path for each. To remove
                       any boot parameters, pass None object, for instance:  'kernel':  None.  To
                       switch  back  to  BIOS boot, specify ('loader': None and 'nvram': None) or
                       'efi': False. Please note that None is mapped to null in  sls  file,  pass
                       null in sls file instead.

                       SLS file Example:

                          - boot:
                              loader: null

                     • numatune --

                       The optional  numatune  element  provides  details  of  how  to  tune  the
                       performance of a NUMA host via controlling NUMA policy for domain process.
                       The optional memory element specifies  how  to  allocate  memory  for  the
                       domain  process  on  a  NUMA  host.  memnode  elements  can specify memory
                       allocation policies per each guest NUMA node. The definition used  in  the
                       dictionary can be found at cpu parameters definition.

                       To  update  any  numatune parameters, specify the new value. To remove any
                       numatune parameters, pass a None object, for instance:  'numatune':  None.
                       Please note that None is mapped to null in sls file, pass null in sls file
                       instead.

                     • format -- volume format. The allowed values  are  depending  on  the  pool
                       type.  Check the virt.pool_capabilities output for the possible values and
                       the default.

                     • type -- type of the volume. One of file,  block,  dir,  network,  netdiri,
                       ploop  or  None.  By default, the type is guessed by libvirt from the pool
                       type.

                       the format of the base volume.

                       The base volume format will not be guessed for  security  reasons  and  is

   Dependencies
       • pyVmomi Python Module

       • ESXCLI

   pyVmomi
       PyVmomi can be installed via pip:

          pip install pyVmomi

       NOTE:
          Version 6.0 of pyVmomi has some problems with SSL error handling on certain versions of
          Python.  If  using version 6.0 of pyVmomi, Python 2.7.9, or newer must be present. This
          is due to an upstream dependency in  pyVmomi  6.0  that  is  not  supported  in  Python
          versions 2.7 to 2.7.8. If the version of Python is not in the supported range, you will
          need to install an earlier version of pyVmomi. See Issue #29537 for more information.

       Based on the note above, to install  an  earlier  version  of  pyVmomi  than  the  version
       currently listed in PyPi, run the following:

          pip install pyVmomi==5.5.0.2014.1.1

       The  5.5.0.2014.1.1  is a known stable version that this original vSphere Execution Module
       was developed against.

   vSphere Automation SDK
       vSphere Automation SDK can be installed via pip:

          pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
          pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/vmware/vsphere-automation-sdk-python.git

       NOTE:
          The SDK also requires OpenSSL 1.0.1+ if you want to connect to vSphere 6.5+ in order to
          support TLS1.1 & 1.2.

          In  order  to  use  the  tagging  functions  in  this module, vSphere Automation SDK is
          necessary to install.

       The module is currently in version 1.0.3 (as of 8/26/2019)

   ESXCLI
       Currently, about a third of the functions used in the vSphere Execution Module require the
       ESXCLI package be installed on the machine running the Proxy Minion process.

       The ESXCLI package is also referred to as the VMware vSphere CLI, or vCLI. VMware provides
       vCLI package installation instructions for vSphere 5.5 and vSphere 6.0.

       Once all of the required dependencies are in place and the vCLI package is installed,  you
       can  check  to  see  if you can connect to your ESXi host or vCenter server by running the
       following command:

          esxcli -s <host-location> -u <username> -p <password> system syslog config get

       If the connection was successful, ESXCLI was successfully installed on your  system.   You
       should see output related to the ESXi host's syslog configuration.

       NOTE:
          Be  aware  that  some  functionality in this execution module may depend on the type of
          license attached to a vCenter Server or ESXi host(s).

          For example, certain services  are  only  available  to  manipulate  service  state  or
          policies  with a VMware vSphere Enterprise or Enterprise Plus license, while others are
          available with a Standard license. The ntpd service is restricted to an Enterprise Plus
          license, while ssh is available via the Standard license.

          Please see the vSphere Comparison page for more information.

   About
       This  execution  module  was  designed  to be able to handle connections both to a vCenter
       Server, as well as to an ESXi host. It utilizes the pyVmomi Python library and the  ESXCLI
       package to run remote execution functions against either the defined vCenter server or the
       ESXi host.

       Whether or not the function runs against a vCenter Server or an ESXi host depends entirely
       upon  the  arguments  passed  into  the  function. Each function requires a host location,
       username, and password. If the credentials provided apply to a vCenter  Server,  then  the
       function  will  be  run  against the vCenter Server. For example, when listing hosts using
       vCenter credentials, you'll get a list of hosts associated with that vCenter Server:

          # salt my-minion vsphere.list_hosts <vcenter-ip> <vcenter-user> <vcenter-password>
          my-minion:
          - esxi-1.example.com
          - esxi-2.example.com

       However,  some  functions  should  be  used  against  ESXi  hosts,  not  vCenter  Servers.
       Functionality  such as getting a host's coredump network configuration should be performed
       against a host and not a vCenter server. If the authentication information you're using is
       against  a  vCenter  server  and  not  an ESXi host, you can provide the host name that is
       associated with the vCenter server in the command, as a  list,  using  the  host_names  or
       esxi_host kwarg. For example:

          # salt my-minion vsphere.get_coredump_network_config <vcenter-ip> <vcenter-user>         <vcenter-password> esxi_hosts='[esxi-1.example.com, esxi-2.example.com]'
          my-minion:
          ----------
              esxi-1.example.com:
                  ----------
                  Coredump Config:
                      ----------
                      enabled:
                          False
              esxi-2.example.com:
                  ----------
                  Coredump Config:
                      ----------
                      enabled:
                          True
                      host_vnic:
                          vmk0
                      ip:
                          coredump-location.example.com
                      port:
                          6500

       You  can  also  use  these  functions  against  an  ESXi  host  directly by establishing a
       connection to an ESXi host using the host's location,  username,  and  password.  If  ESXi
       connection  credentials  are  used  instead  of  vCenter  credentials,  the host_names and
       esxi_hosts arguments are not needed.

              This was very difficult to figure out.  VMware's PyVmomi documentation at

              https://github.com/vmware/pyvmomi/blob/master/docs/vim/DistributedVirtualSwitch.rst
              (which     is     a     copy     of     the     official     documentation    here:
              https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/converter-sdk/conv60_apireference/vim.DistributedVirtualSwitch.html)

              says to create the DVS, create distributed portgroups, and then add the host to the
              DVS specifying which physical NIC to use as the  port  backing.   However,  if  the
              physical  NIC  is  in use as the only link from the host to vSphere, this will fail
              with an unhelpful "busy" error.

              There     is,     however,     a     Powershell     PowerCLI     cmdlet      called
              Add-VDSwitchPhysicalNetworkAdapter  that  does  what  we  want.   I  used  Onyx  (‐

       ca_bundle=None)
              Attach an existing tag to an input object.

              The tag needs to meet the cardinality (CategoryModel.cardinality) and associability
              (CategoryModel.associable_types)  criteria  in order to be eligible for attachment.
              If the tag is already attached to the object, then this method is a  no-op  and  an
              error  will not be thrown. To invoke this method, you need the attach tag privilege
              on the tag and the read privilege on the object.

   salt.modules.win_auditpol
       A salt module for modifying the audit policies on the machine

       Though this module does not set group policy for auditing, it displays  how  all  auditing
       configuration  is applied on the machine, either set directly or via local or domain group
       policy.

       New in version 2018.3.4.

       New in version 2019.2.1.

       This module allows you to view and modify the audit settings as they are  applied  on  the
       machine. The audit settings are broken down into nine categories:

       • Account Logon

       • Account Management

       • Detailed Tracking

       • DS Access

       • Logon/Logoff

       • Object Access

       • Policy Change

       • Privilege Use

       • System

       The  get_settings  function  will  return  the  subcategories  for  all  nine of the above
       categories in one dictionary along with their auditing status.

       To modify a setting you only need to specify the subcategory name and the value  you  wish
       to set. Valid settings are:

       • No Auditing

       • Success

       • Failure

       • Success and Failure

       CLI Example:

          # Get current state of all audit settings
          salt * auditpol.get_settings

          # Get the current state of all audit settings in the "Account Logon"

                     A dictionary of changes that have been made

              Return type
                     dict

              CLI Example:

                 # To see changes to ``C:\Temp`` if the 'Users' group is given 'read & execute' permissions.
                 salt '*' file.check_perms C:\Temp\ {} Administrators "{'Users': {'perms': 'read_execute'}}"

                 # Locally using salt call

                 salt '*' file.check_perms C:\Temp\ {} Administrators "{'jsnuffy': {'perms': ['read_attributes', 'read_ea'], 'applies_to': 'files_only'}}"

       salt.modules.win_file.chgrp(path, group)
              Change the group of a file

              Under Windows, this will do nothing.

              While  a  file  in  Windows does have a 'primary group', this rarely used attribute
              generally has no bearing on permissions unless intentionally configured and is only
              used  to  support  Unix  compatibility  features  (e.g.   Services  For  Unix,  NFS
              services).

              Salt, therefore, remaps this function to do nothing while  still  being  compatible
              with Unix behavior. When managing Windows systems, this function is superfluous and
              will generate an info level log entry if used directly.

              If you do actually want to set the 'primary group' of a file, use file .chpgrp.

              To set group permissions use file.set_perms

              Parameterspath (str) -- The path to the file or directory

                     • group (str) -- The group (unused)

              Returns
                     None

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.chpgrp c:\temp\test.txt administrators

       salt.modules.win_file.chown(path, user, group=None, pgroup=None, follow_symlinks=True)
              Chown a file, pass the file the desired user and group

              Under Windows, the group parameter will be ignored.

              This is because while files in Windows do have a 'primary group' property, this  is
              rarely  used.   It  generally  has  no  bearing on permissions unless intentionally
              configured and is most commonly used to provide Unix compatibility  (e.g.  Services
              For Unix, NFS services).

              If  you  do  want  to  change  the  'primary  group'  property  and  understand the
              implications, pass the Windows only parameter, pgroup, instead.

              Parameterspath (str) -- The path to the file or directory

                     • user (str) -- The name of the user to own the file

                     • group (str) -- The group (not used)

                     • pgroup (str) -- The primary group to assign

                     • follow_symlinks (bool) -- If the object specified by path  is  a  symlink,
                       get  attributes  of the linked file instead of the symlink itself. Default
                       is True

              Returns
                     True if successful, otherwise error

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.chown c:\temp\test.txt myusername
                 salt '*' file.chown c:\temp\test.txt myusername pgroup=Administrators
                 salt '*' file.chown c:\temp\test.txt myusername "pgroup='None'"

       salt.modules.win_file.chpgrp(path, group)
              Change the group of a file

              Under Windows, this will set the  rarely  used  primary  group  of  a  file.   This
              generally has no bearing on permissions unless intentionally configured and is most
              commonly  used  to  provide  Unix  compatibility  (e.g.   Services  For  Unix,  NFS
              services).

                 salt '*' file.chpgrp c:\temp\test.txt "'None'"

       salt.modules.win_file.get_attributes(path)
              Return a dictionary object with the Windows file attributes for a file.

              Parameters
                     path (str) -- The path to the file or directory

              Returns
                     A dictionary of file attributes

              Return type
                     dict

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.get_attributes c:\temp\a.txt

       salt.modules.win_file.get_gid(path, follow_symlinks=True)
              Return the id of the group that owns a given file

              Under Windows, this will return the uid of the file.

              While  a  file  in  Windows does have a 'primary group', this rarely used attribute
              generally has no bearing on permissions unless intentionally configured and is only
              used  to  support  Unix  compatibility  features  (e.g.   Services  For  Unix,  NFS
              services).

              Salt, therefore, remaps  this  function  to  provide  functionality  that  somewhat
              resembles  Unix  behavior  for  API  compatibility  reasons.  When managing Windows
              systems, this function is superfluous and will generate an info level log entry  if
              used directly.

              If you do actually want to access the 'primary group' of a file, use file.get_pgid.

              Parameterspath (str) -- The path to the file or directory

                       is True

              Returns
                     The gid of the owner

              Return type
                     str

                 salt '*' file.get_gid c:\temp\test.txt

       salt.modules.win_file.get_group(path, follow_symlinks=True)
              Return the group that owns a given file

              Under Windows, this will return the user (owner) of the file.

       salt.modules.win_file.get_mode(path)
              Return the mode of a file

              Right now we're just returning None because Windows' doesn't have a mode like Linux

              Parameters
                     path (str) -- The path to the file or directory

              Returns

       salt.modules.win_file.get_pgid(path, follow_symlinks=True)
              Return the id of the primary group that owns a given file (Windows only)

              This function will return the rarely used primary group of a file.  This  generally
              has  no bearing on permissions unless intentionally configured and is most commonly
              used to provide Unix compatibility (e.g. Services For Unix, NFS services).

              The return value may be 'None', e.g. if the user is not on  a  domain.  This  is  a
              valid group - do not confuse this with the Salt/Python value of None which means no
              value was returned. To be certain, use the get_pgid function which will return  the
              SID, including for the system 'None' group.

       salt.modules.win_file.gid_to_group(gid)
              Convert the group id to the group name on this system

              Under  Windows,  because  groups are just another ACL entity, this function behaves
              the same as uid_to_user.

              For maintaining Windows systems, this function is superfluous and only  exists  for
              API  compatibility  with  Unix. Use the uid_to_user function instead; an info level
              log entry will be generated if this function is used directly.

              Parameters
                     gid (str) -- The gid of the group

              Returns
                     The name of the group

              Return type
                     str

       salt.modules.win_file.group_to_gid(group)
              Convert the group to the gid on this system

              Under Windows, because groups are just another ACL entity,  this  function  behaves
              the same as user_to_uid, except if None is given, '' is returned.

              For  maintaining  Windows systems, this function is superfluous and only exists for
              API compatibility with Unix. Use the user_to_uid function instead;  an  info  level
              log entry will be generated if this function is used directly.

              Parameters
                     group (str) -- The name of the group

              Returns
                     The gid of the group

              Return type
                     str

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.group_to_gid administrators

       salt.modules.win_file.is_link(path)
              Check if the path is a symlink

              This is only supported on Windows Vista or later.

              Inline  with  Unix behavior, this function will raise an error if the path is not a
              symlink, however, the error raised will be a SaltInvocationError, not an OSError.

              Parameters
                     path (str) -- The path to a file or directory

              Returns
                     True if path is a symlink, otherwise False

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.is_link /path/to/link

       salt.modules.win_file.lchown(path, user, group=None, pgroup=None)
              Chown a file, pass the file the  desired  user  and  group  without  following  any
              symlinks.

              Under Windows, the group parameter will be ignored.

              This  is because while files in Windows do have a 'primary group' property, this is
              rarely used.  It generally has  no  bearing  on  permissions  unless  intentionally
              configured  and  is most commonly used to provide Unix compatibility (e.g. Services
              For Unix, NFS services).

              If you  do  want  to  change  the  'primary  group'  property  and  understand  the
              implications, pass the Windows only parameter, pgroup, instead.

              To set the primary group to 'None', it must be specified in quotes.  Otherwise Salt
              will interpret it as the Python value of None and no  primary  group  changes  will
              occur. See the example below.

              Parameterspath (str) -- The path to the file or directory

                     • user (str) -- The name of the user to own the file

                     • group (str) -- The group (not used)

                     • pgroup (str) -- The primary group to assign

              Returns
                     True if successful, otherwise error

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' file.lchown c:\temp\test.txt myusername
                 salt '*' file.lchown c:\temp\test.txt myusername pgroup=Administrators
                 salt '*' file.lchown c:\temp\test.txt myusername "pgroup='None'"

       salt.modules.win_file.makedirs_(path,   owner=None,   grant_perms=None,   deny_perms=None,
       inheritance=True, reset=False)
              Ensure that the parent directory containing this path is available.

              Parameterspath (str) --

                       The full path to the directory.

                       NOTE:
                          The path must end with a trailing slash otherwise the directory(s) will
                          be  created  up  to  the  parent  directory.  For  example  if  path is
                          C:\temp\test, then it would be treated as C:\temp\ but if the path ends
                          with  a  trailing slash like C:\temp\test\, then it would be treated as
                          C:\temp\test\.

                     • owner (str) -- The owner of the directory. If not passed, it will  be  the
                       account that created the directory, likely SYSTEM.

                     • grant_perms (dict) --

                       A dictionary containing the user/group and the basic permissions to grant,
                       ie:  {'user':  {'perms':  'basic_permission'}}.  You  can  also  set   the
                       applies_to  setting  here.  The  default  is this_folder_subfolders_files.
                       Specify another applies_to setting like this:

                          {'user': {'perms': 'full_control', 'applies_to': 'this_folder'}}

                       To set advanced permissions use a list for the perms parameter, ie:

                          {'user': {'perms': ['read_attributes', 'read_ea'], 'applies_to': 'this_folder'}}

                     • deny_perms  (dict)  --  A  dictionary  containing   the   user/group   and

                       used for the grant_perms parameter. Remember, deny  permissions  supersede
                       grant permissions.

                     • inheritance (bool) -- If True the object will inherit permissions from the
                       parent, if False, inheritance will be disabled. Inheritance  setting  will
                       not apply to parent directories if they must be created.

                     • reset (bool) --

                       If  True  the existing DACL will be cleared and replaced with the settings
                       defined in this function. If False, new entries will be  appended  to  the
                       existing DACL. Default is False.

              Return the path that a symlink points to

              This is only supported on Windows Vista or later.

              Inline  with  Unix behavior, this function will raise an error if the path is not a

              Set  file  attributes  for  a  file.  Note that the normal attribute means that all
              others are false.  So setting it will clear all others.

       salt.modules.win_file.stats(path, hash_type='sha256', follow_symlinks=True)
              Return a dict containing the stats about a given file

              Under Windows, gid will equal uid and group will equal user.

              While  a  file  in  Windows does have a 'primary group', this rarely used attribute
              generally has no bearing on permissions unless intentionally configured and is only
              used  to  support  Unix  compatibility  features  (e.g.   Services  For  Unix,  NFS
              services).

              Salt, therefore, remaps these properties to keep some kind  of  compatibility  with
              Unix behavior. If the 'primary group' is required, it can be accessed in the pgroup
              and pgid properties.

              Parameterspath (str) -- The path to the file or directory

                     • hash_type (str) -- The type of hash to return

                       is True

              Returns
                     A dictionary of file/directory stats

              Return type
                     dict

       salt.modules.win_file.symlink(src, link)
              Create a symbolic link to a file

              This is only supported with Windows Vista or later and must be executed by  a  user
              with the SeCreateSymbolicLink privilege.

              The  behavior  of  this  function matches the Unix equivalent, with one exception -
              invalid symlinks cannot be created. The source path must exist.  If it doesn't,  an
              error will be raised.

              Set static IP configuration on a Windows NIC

              iface  The name of the interface to manage

              addr   IP address with subnet length (ex.  10.1.2.3/24).  The  ip.get_subnet_length
                     function can be used to calculate the subnet length from a netmask.

              gateway
                     None If specified, the default gateway will be set to this value.

              append False  If  True,  this IP address will be added to the interface. Default is
                     False, which overrides any existing configuration for the interface and sets
                     addr as the only address on the interface.

                 salt -G 'os_family:Windows' ip.set_static_ip 'Local Area Connection' 10.1.2.3/24 gateway=10.1.2.1
                 salt -G 'os_family:Windows' ip.set_static_ip 'Local Area Connection' 10.1.2.4/24 append=True

   salt.modules.win_lgpo
       Manage Local Policy on Windows

       This module allows configuring local group policy (i.e. gpedit.msc) on a Windows server.

       New in version 2016.11.0.

   Administrative Templates
       Administrative template policies are dynamically read from ADMX/ADML files on the server.

   Windows Settings
       Policies  contained in the "Windows Settings" section of the gpedit.msc GUI are statically
       defined in this module. Each policy is configured for the section  (Machine/User)  in  the
       module's  _policy_info class. The _policy_info class contains a "policies" dict on how the
       module will configure the policy, where  the  policy  resides  in  the  GUI  (for  display
       purposes), data validation data, data transformation data, etc.

   Current known limitations
       • At this time, start/shutdown scripts policies are displayed, but are not configurable.

       • Not all "Security Settings" policies exist in the _policy_info class

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' lgpo.get_policy_info 'Maximum password age' machine

              You  can  use lgpo.get_policy_info to get all the possible names that could be used
              in a state file or from the command line (along  with  elements  that  need  to  be
              set/etc).  The  key  is  to  match  the text you see in the gpedit.msc gui exactly,
              including quotes around words or phrases. The "full  path"  style  is  really  only
              needed  when  there are multiple policies that use the same base name. For example,
              Access data sources across domains exists in ~10 different paths. If you  put  that
              through  get_policy_info  you'll  get  back  a message that it is used for multiple
              policies and you need to be more specific.

              CLI Example:

                 salt-call --local lgpo.get_policy_info ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2 machine

                 local:
                     ----------
                     message:

                         - Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task
                         - ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2
                         - System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings\Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task
                     policy_class:

                     policy_elements:

                         True
                     policy_name:
                         ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2
                     rights_assignment:
                         False

              Escaping can get tricky in cmd/Powershell. The following is an example of  escaping
              in Powershell using backquotes:

                 PS>salt-call --local lgpo.get_policy_info "Turn off the `\`"Order Prints`\`" picture task" machine

                 local:
                     ----------
                     message:
                     policy_aliases:
                         - Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task
                         - ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2
                         - System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings\Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task
                     policy_class:
                         machine
                     policy_elements:
                     policy_found:
                         True
                     policy_name:
                         Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task
                     rights_assignment:
                         False

              This  function  can  then be used to get the options available for specifying Group
              Policy Objects to be used in state files. Based on the above any of these should be
              usable:

                 internet_communications_settings:
                   lgpo.set:
                     - computer_policy:
                         Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task: Enabled

                 internet_communications_settings:
                   lgpo.set:
                     - computer_policy:
                         ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2: Enabled

              When  using  the full path, it might be a good idea to use single quotes around the
              path:

                 internet_communications_settings:
                   lgpo.set:
                     - computer_policy:
                         'System\Internet Communication Management\Internet Communication settings\Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task': 'Enabled'

              If you struggle to find the policy from get_policy_info using the name as  you  see
              in  gpedit.msc,  the  names  such as "ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2" come from the .admx
              files. If you know nothing about .admx/.adml relationships (ADML holds what you see
              in  the  GUI, ADMX holds the more technical details), then this may be a little bit
              too much info, but here is an example with the above policy using Powershell:

                 PS>Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions -Recurse -Filter *.adml | Select-String "Order Prints"

                 C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\ICM.adml:152:      <string id="ShellRemoveOrderPrints">Turn off the "Order Prints" picture task</string>
                 C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\ICM.adml:153:      <string id="ShellRemoveOrderPrints_Help">This policy setting specifies whether the "Order Prints Online" task is available from Picture Tasks in Windows folders.
                 C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\ICM.adml:155:The Order Prints Online Wizard is used to download a list of providers and allow users to order prints online.
                 C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US\ICM.adml:157:If you enable this policy setting, the task "Order Prints Online" is removed from Picture Tasks in File Explorer folders.

              From this grep, we can see id "ShellRemoveOrderPrints" is the ID of the string used
              to describe this policy, then we search for it in the ADMX:

                 PS>Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions -Recurse -Filter *.admx | Select-String "ShellRemoveOrderPrints"

                 C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\ICM.admx:661:    <policy name="ShellRemoveOrderPrints_1" class="User" displayName="$(string.ShellRemoveOrderPrints)" explainText="$(string.ShellRemoveOrderPrints_Help)" key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" valueName="NoOnlinePrintsWizard">
                 C:\windows\PolicyDefinitions\ICM.admx:671:    <policy name="ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2" class="Machine" displayName="$(string.ShellRemoveOrderPrints)" explainText="$(string.ShellRemoveOrderPrints_Help)" key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer" valueName="NoOnlinePrintsWizard">

              Now  we  have  two  to  pick  from.  And  if  you  notice  the  class="Machine" and
              class="User" (which details if it is a computer policy or user policy respectively)
              the  ShellRemoveOrderPrints_2  is  the  "short  name"  we could use to pass through
              get_policy_info to see what the module itself is expecting.

       salt.modules.win_lgpo.set_(computer_policy=None,                         user_policy=None,
       cumulative_rights_assignments=True, adml_language='en-US')

                       A  dictionary  of  "policyname:  value" pairs of computer policies to set.
                       'value' should be how it is displayed  in  the  gpedit  GUI,  i.e.   if  a
                       setting can be 'Enabled'/'Disabled', then that should be passed

                       Administrative  Template  data  may require dicts within dicts, to specify
                       each  element  of  the  Administrative  Template  policy.   Administrative
                       Templates policies are always cumulative.

                       Policy  names  can  be  specified in a number of ways based on the type of
                       policy:
                          Windows Settings Policies:
                              These policies can be specified using the GUI display name  or  the
                              key  name  from  the  _policy_info  class  in this module.  The GUI
                              display name is also contained in the _policy_info  class  in  this
                              module.

                          Administrative Template Policies:
                              These  can  be  specified using the policy name as displayed in the
                              GUI (case sensitive). Some policies  have  the  same  name,  but  a
                              different  location  (for  example,  "Access  data  sources  across
                              domains"). These can be differentiated by the  "path"  in  the  GUI
                              (for  example, "Windows ComponentsInternet ExplorerInternet Control
                              PanelSecurity   PageInternet   ZoneAccess   data   sources   across
                              domains").

                              Additionally,  policies  can be specified using the "name" and "id"
                              attributes from the ADMX files.

                              For  Administrative  Templates  that  have  policy  elements,  each
                              element  can  be specified using the text string as seen in the GUI
                              or using the ID attribute from the ADMX file. Due to the  way  some
                              of  the  GUI  text  is  laid  out,  some policy element names could
                              include descriptive text that appears lbefore the policy element in
                              the GUI.

                              Use  the  get_policy_info  function for the policy name to view the
                              element ID/names that the module will accept.

                 salt '*' win_path.remove 'c:\\python27'

   salt.modules.win_pkg
       A module to manage software on Windows

       IMPORTANT:
          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a  minion,  and
          it  is  using  a  different  module  (or gives an error similar to 'pkg.install' is not
          available), see here.

       The following functions require  the  existence  of  a  windows  repository  metadata  DB,
       typically created by running pkg.refresh_db:

       If  a  metadata DB does not already exist and one of these functions is run, then one will
       be created from the repo SLS files that are present.

       As the creation of this metadata can take some time, the  winrepo_cache_expire_min  minion
       config  option  can  be  used to suppress refreshes when the metadata is less than a given
       number of seconds old.

       NOTE:
          Version numbers can be version number string, latest and Not  Found,  where  Not  Found
          means  this  module was not able to determine the version of the software installed, it
          can also be used as the version number in sls definitions file in these cases. Versions
          numbers are sorted in order of 0, Not Found, order version numbers, ..., latest.

       salt.modules.win_pkg.compare_versions(ver1='', oper='==', ver2='')
              Compare software package versions. Made public for use with Jinja

              Parametersver1 (str) -- A software version to compare

                     • oper (str) -- The operand to use to compare

                       listed under pkgs will be installed via a single command.

                       You can specify a version by passing the item as a dict:

                       CLI Example:

                          # will install the latest version of foo and bar
                          salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

                          # will install the latest version of foo and version 1.2.3 of bar
                          salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3"}]'

              Kwargs:

                 version (str):
                        The  specific  version to install. If omitted, the latest version will be
                        installed. Recommend for use when installing a single package.

                        If passed with a list of packages in the pkgs parameter, the version will
                        be ignored.

                        CLI Example:

                               # Version is ignored
                               salt '*' pkg.install pkgs="['foo', 'bar']" version=1.2.3

                        If  passed with a comma separated list in the name parameter, the version
                        will apply to all packages in the list.

                        CLI Example:

                               # Version 1.2.3 will apply to packages foo and bar
                               salt '*' pkg.install foo,bar version=1.2.3

                 extra_install_flags (str):
                        Additional install flags that  will  be  appended  to  the  install_flags
                        defined in the software definition file. Only applies when single package
                        is passed.

                 saltenv (str):
                        Salt environment. Default 'base'

                 report_reboot_exit_codes (bool):
                        If the installer exits with a recognized  exit  code  indicating  that  a
                        reboot is required, the module function
                            win_system.set_reboot_required_witnessed

                        will  be called, preserving the knowledge of this event for the remainder
                        of the current boot session.  For  the  time  being,  3010  is  the  only
                        recognized exit code. The value of this param defaults to True.

                        New in version 2016.11.0.

              Returns
                     Return  a dict containing the new package names and versions. If the package
                     is already installed, an empty dict is returned.

                     If the package is installed by pkg.install:

                        {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                       'new': '<new-version>'}}

              Return type
                     dict

              The following example will refresh the winrepo and install a single package, 7zip.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.install 7zip refresh=True

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.install 7zip
                 salt '*' pkg.install 7zip,filezilla
                 salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["7zip","filezilla"]'

              WinRepo Definition File Examples:

              The following example demonstrates the use of cache_file. This would be used if you
              have  multiple  installers in the same directory that use the same install.ini file
              and you don't want to download the additional installers.

                 ntp:
                   4.2.8:
                     installer: 'salt://win/repo/ntp/ntp-4.2.8-win32-setup.exe'
                     full_name: Meinberg NTP Windows Client
                     locale: en_US
                     reboot: False
                     cache_file: 'salt://win/repo/ntp/install.ini'
                     install_flags: '/USEFILE=C:\salt\var\cache\salt\minion\files\base\win\repo\ntp\install.ini'
                     uninstaller: 'NTP/uninst.exe'

              The following example demonstrates the use of cache_dir. It assumes  a  file  named
              install.ini resides in the same directory as the installer.

                 ntp:
                   4.2.8:
                     installer: 'salt://win/repo/ntp/ntp-4.2.8-win32-setup.exe'
                     full_name: Meinberg NTP Windows Client
                     locale: en_US
                     reboot: False
                     cache_dir: True
                     install_flags: '/USEFILE=C:\salt\var\cache\salt\minion\files\base\win\repo\ntp\install.ini'
                     uninstaller: 'NTP/uninst.exe'

       salt.modules.win_pkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              Return   the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or
              installation. If more than one package name is specified, a  dict  of  name/version
              pairs is returned.

              If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will
              be returned for that package.

              NOTE:
                 Since this is looking for the latest version available,  a  refresh_db  will  be
                 triggered  by  default.  This  can  take some time. To avoid this set refresh to
                 False.

              Parameters
                     names (str) -- A single or multiple names to lookup

              Parameters
                     names (str) -- One or more package names

              Kwargs:
                 saltenv (str): The salt environment to use. Default base.

                 refresh (bool): Refresh package metadata. Default False.

                 return_dict_always (bool):
                        Default False dict when a single package name is queried.

              Returns

       salt.modules.win_pkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False,            include_components=True,
       include_updates=True, **kwargs)
              List the packages currently installed.

              NOTE:
                 To view  installed  software  as  displayed  in  the  Add/Remove  Programs,  set
                 include_components and include_updates to False.

       salt.modules.win_pkg.refresh_db(**kwargs)
              Generates  the  local  software  metadata  database (winrepo.p) on the minion.  The
              database is stored in a serialized format  located  by  default  at  the  following
              location:

              C:\salt\var\cache\salt\minion\files\base\win\repo-ng\winrepo.p

              This  module  performs  the  following  steps  to  generate  the  software metadata
              database:

              • Fetch the  package  definition  files  (.sls)  from  winrepo_source_dir  (default
                salt://win/repo-ng)            and            cache            them            in
                <cachedir>files<saltenv><winrepo_source_dir>                            (default:
                C:\salt\var\cache\salt\minion\files\base\win\repo-ng)

              • Call  pkg.genrepo  to  parse  the  package  definition  files  and  generate  the
                repository metadata database file (winrepo.p)

              • Return the report received from pkg.genrepo

              The default winrepo directory on the master  is  /srv/salt/win/repo-ng.  All  files
              that  end  with  .sls  in  this and all subdirectories will be used to generate the
              repository metadata database (winrepo.p).

              NOTE:

                 • Hidden directories (directories beginning with '.', such as  '.git')  will  be
                   ignored.

              NOTE:
                 There is no need to call pkg.refresh_db every time you work with the pkg module.
                 Automatic refresh  will  occur  based  on  the  following  minion  configuration
                 settings:

                 • winrepo_cache_expire_minwinrepo_cache_expire_max

                 However,  if  the package definition files have changed, as would be the case if
                 you are developing a new package definition, this function should be  called  to
                 ensure the minion has the latest information about packages available to it.

              WARNING:
                 Directories  and files fetched from <winrepo_source_dir> (/srv/salt/win/repo-ng)
                 will be processed in alphabetical order. If  two  or  more  software  definition
                 files  contain  the same name, the last one processed replaces all data from the
                 files processed before it.

              PowerShell module ServerManager

       salt.modules.win_servermanager.install(feature, recurse=False, restart=False, source=None,
       exclude=None)
              Install a feature

              NOTE:
                 Some  features  require  reboot after un/installation, if so until the server is
                 restarted other features can not be installed!

              NOTE:
                 Some features take a long time to complete un/installation, set -t with  a  long
                 timeout

              Parametersfeature (str, list) --

                       The  name  of  the  feature(s) to install. This can be a single feature, a
                       string of features in a comma delimited list (no spaces),  or  a  list  of
                       features.

                       New  in  version 2018.3.0: Added the ability to pass a list of features to
                       be installed.

                     • recurse (Options[bool]) -- Install all sub-features. Default is False

                     • restart (Optional[bool]) -- Restarts the  computer  when  installation  is
                       complete,  if  required by the role/feature installed. Will also trigger a
                       reboot if an item in exclude requires a reboot  to  be  properly  removed.
                       Default is False

                     • source  (Optional[str])  --  Path  to the source files if missing from the
                       target system. None means that the system will use windows update services
                       to find the required files. Default is None

                     • exclude (Optional[str]) --

                       The name of the feature to exclude when installing the named feature. This
                       can be a single feature, a string of features in  a  comma-delimited  list
                       (no spaces), or a list of features.

                       WARNING:
                          As   there   is   no  exclude  option  for  the  Add-WindowsFeature  or
                          Install-WindowsFeature  PowerShell  commands  the  features  named   in
                          exclude  will  be  installed  with  other sub-features and will then be
                          removed. If the feature named in ``exclude`` is not  a  sub-feature  of
                          one of the installed items it will still be removed.

              Returns
                     A dictionary containing the results of the install

              Return type
                     dict

              Remove an installed feature

              NOTE:
                 Some features require a reboot  after  installation/uninstallation.  If  one  of
                 these  features  are modified, then other features cannot be installed until the
                 server is restarted. Additionally,  some  features  take  a  while  to  complete
                 installation/uninstallation,  so it is a good idea to use the -t option to set a
                 longer timeout.

              Parametersfeature (str, list) --

                       The name of the feature(s) to remove. This can  be  a  single  feature,  a
                       string  of  features  in  a comma delimited list (no spaces), or a list of
                       features.

                       removed  from  the  side-by-side  store   (%SystemDrive%:\Windows\WinSxS).
                       Default is False

                       complete, if required by the role/feature removed. Default is False

              Returns
                     A dictionary containing the results of the uninstall

       salt.modules.win_smtp_server.set_relay_ip_list(addresses=None, server='SmtpSvc/1')
              Set the RelayIpList list for the SMTP virtual server.

              Due  to  the  unusual  way  that  Windows  stores the relay IPs, it is advisable to
              retrieve the existing list you wish to set from a pre-configured server.

              For example, setting '127.0.0.1' as an allowed  relay  IP  through  the  GUI  would
              generate an actual relay IP list similar to the following:

                 ['24.0.0.128', '32.0.0.128', '60.0.0.128', '68.0.0.128', '1.0.0.0', '76.0.0.0',
                  '0.0.0.0', '0.0.0.0', '1.0.0.0', '1.0.0.0', '2.0.0.0', '2.0.0.0', '4.0.0.0',
                  '0.0.0.0', '76.0.0.128', '0.0.0.0', '0.0.0.0', '0.0.0.0', '0.0.0.0',
                  '255.255.255.255', '127.0.0.1']

              NOTE:
                 Setting  the  list  to None corresponds to the restrictive 'Only the list below'
                 GUI parameter with an  empty  access  list  configured,  and  setting  an  empty
                 list/tuple  corresponds  to  the more permissive 'All except the list below' GUI
                 parameter.

              Parametersaddresses (str) -- A list of the relay IPs.  The  order  of  the  list  is
                       important.

                     • server (str) -- The SMTP server name.

              Returns
                     A boolean representing whether the change succeeded.

              Return type
                     bool

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' win_smtp_server.set_relay_ip_list addresses="['192.168.1.1', '172.16.1.1']"

       salt.modules.win_smtp_server.set_server_setting(settings, server='SmtpSvc/1')
              Set the value of the setting for the SMTP virtual server.

              NOTE:
                 The setting names are case-sensitive.

              Parameterssettings (str) -- A dictionary of the setting names and their values.

                     • server (str) -- The SMTP server name.

              Returns
                     A boolean representing whether all changes succeeded.

              Return type
                     bool

       salt.modules.win_system.set_reboot_required_witnessed()
              This  function  is  used  to  remember  that  an  event indicating that a reboot is
              required was witnessed. This function relies on the salt-minion's ability to create
              the following volatile registry key in the HKLM hive:
                 SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\salt-minion\Volatile-Data

              Because  this registry key is volatile, it will not persist beyond the current boot
              session. Also, in the scope of  this  key,  the  name  'Reboot  required'  will  be
              assigned the value of 1.

              For  the time being, this function is being used whenever an install completes with
              exit code 3010 and can be extended where appropriate in the future.

       salt.modules.win_system.shutdown(message=None, timeout=5, force_close=True,  reboot=False,
       in_seconds=False, only_on_pending_reboot=False)
              Shutdown a running system.

              Parametersmessage (str) -- The message to display to the user before shutting down.

                     • timeout (int) --

                       The  length  of  time  (in seconds) that the shutdown dialog box should be
                       displayed. While this dialog box is displayed, the shutdown can be aborted
                       using the system.shutdown_abort function.

                       If  timeout  is  not zero, InitiateSystemShutdown displays a dialog box on
                       the specified computer. The dialog box displays the name of the  user  who
                       called the function, the message specified by the lpMessage parameter, and
                       prompts the user to log off. The dialog box beeps when it is  created  and
                       remains  on  top  of  other  windows (system modal). The dialog box can be
                       moved but not closed. A timer counts down the remaining  time  before  the
                       shutdown occurs.

                       If timeout is zero, the computer shuts down immediately without displaying
                       the dialog box and cannot be stopped by system.shutdown_abort.

                       Default is 5 minutes

                     • in_seconds (bool) -- .INDENT 2.0

                     True will cause the timeout parameter to be in seconds.

   salt.modules.win_task
       Windows Task Scheduler Module .. versionadded:: 2016.3.0

       A  module  for  working  with  the  Windows Task Scheduler.  You can add and edit existing
       tasks.  You can add and clear triggers and actions.  You  can  list  all  tasks,  folders,
       triggers, and actions.

       salt.modules.win_task.add_action(name=None,      location='\\',     action_type='Execute',
       **kwargs)
              Add an action to a task.

              Parametersname (str) -- The name of the task to which to add the action.

                     • location (str) -- A string value representing the location  of  the  task.
                       Default    is   \   which   is   the   root   for   the   task   scheduler
                       (C:\Windows\System32\tasks).

                     • action_type (str) --

                       The type of action to add. There are three action types. Each one requires
                       its own set of Keyword Arguments (kwargs). Valid values are:

                          • Execute

                          • Email

                          • Message

              Required arguments for each action_type:

              Execute
                 Execute a command or an executable

                     cmd (str):

                            (optional)  Arguments  to be passed to the command or executable.  To
                            launch a script the first command will need to be the interpreter for
                            the script. For example, to run a vbscript you would pass cscript.exe
                            in the cmd parameter and pass the script in the  arguments  parameter
                            as follows:

                               • cmd='cscript.exe' arguments='c:\scripts\myscript.vbs'

                            Batch  files  do not need an interpreter and may be passed to the cmd
                            parameter directly.

              kwargs

              There  are  optional  keyword  arguments  determined  by  the type of trigger being
              defined. They are as follows:

              Event
                 The trigger will be fired by an event.

                     subscription (str):
                            An event definition in xml format that fires the trigger. The easiest
                            way to get this would is to create an event in Windows Task Scheduler
                            and then copy the xml text.

              Once
                 No special parameters required.

              Daily
                 The task will run daily.

                     days_interval (int):
                            The interval between days in the schedule. An interval of 1  produces
                            a  daily  schedule.  An  interval  of  2  produces an every-other day
                            schedule. If no interval is specified, 1 is used. Valid entries are 1
                            - 999.

              Weekly
                 The task will run weekly.

                     weeks_interval (int):
                            The interval between weeks in the schedule. An interval of 1 produces
                            a weekly schedule. An interval of  2  produces  an  every-other  week
                            schedule. If no interval is specified, 1 is used. Valid entries are 1
                            - 52.

                     days_of_week (list):
                            Sets the days of the week on which the task runs. Should be  a  list.

                            and the word 'Last' to indicate the last day of the month.

                     last_day_of_month (bool):
                            Boolean value that indicates that the task runs on the  last  day  of
                            the month regardless of the actual date of that day.

                            NOTE:
                               You can set the task to run on the last day of the month by either
                               including the word 'Last' in the list  of  days,  or  setting  the
                               parameter 'last_day_of_month' equal to True.

                       will run the task only if the computer is in an idle state.

                     • idle_duration (str) --

                       A  value that indicates the amount of time that the computer must be in an

          If you feel that Salt should be using this module to manage users on a minion,  and  it
          is  using  a  different  module  (or  gives  an  error  similar  to  'user.info' is not
          available), see here.

   salt.modules.win_wua
       Module for managing Windows Updates using the Windows Update Agent.

       List updates on the system using the following functions:

       • win_wua.availablewin_wua.list

       This is an easy way to find additional information  about  updates  available  to  to  the
       system, such as the GUID, KB number, or description.

       Once  you  have  the  GUID or a KB number for the update you can get information about the
       update, download, install, or uninstall it using these functions:

       • win_wua.getwin_wua.downloadwin_wua.installwin_wua.uninstall

       The get function expects a name in the form of a GUID, KB,  or  Title  and  should  return
       information  about  a  single update. The other functions accept either a single item or a
       list of items for downloading/installing/uninstalling a specific list of items.

       The win_wua.list and win_wua.get functions are utility functions. In addition to returning
       information  about  updates  they  can  also  download  and  install  updates  by  setting
       download=True or install=True.  So, with py:func:win_wua.list <salt.modules.win_wua.list_>
       for  example,  you  could  run  the  function  with  the  filters  you want to see what is
       available. Then just add install=True to install everything on that list.

       If you want to download, install, or uninstall  specific  updates,  use  win_wua.download,
       win_wua.install,  or  win_wua.uninstall. To update your system with the latest updates use
       win_wua.list and set install=True

       You can  also  adjust  the  Windows  Update  settings  using  the  win_wua.set_wu_settings
       function. This function is only supported on the following operating systems:

       • Windows Vista / Server 2008

       • Windows 7 / Server 2008R2

       • Windows 8 / Server 2012

       • Windows 8.1 / Server 2012R2

       As  of  Windows  10  and  Windows  Server  2016,  the ability to modify the Windows Update
       settings has been restricted. The settings can be modified in the Local Group Policy using
       the lgpo module.

       salt.modules.winrepo.show_sls(name, saltenv='base')
              New in version 2015.8.0.

              Display  the  rendered  software  definition  from a specific sls file in the local
              winrepo cache. This will parse all Jinja. Run pkg.refresh_db  to  pull  the  latest
              software definitions from the master.

              NOTE:
                 This  function  does  not  ask  a  master  for an sls file to render. Instead it
                 directly processes the file specified in name

              NOTE:
                 To  use  a  file  from  the  minion  cache  start  from  the  local winrepo root
                 (C:\salt\var\cache\salt\minion\files\base\win\repo-ng). If you have  .sls  files
                 organized  in  subdirectories you'll have to denote them with .. For example, if
                 you have a test directory in the winrepo root with a gvim.sls file inside, would
                 target that file like so: test.gvim. Directories can be targeted as well as long
                 as they contain an init.sls inside. For example, if you have  a  node  directory
                 with an init.sls inside, target that like so: node.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' winrepo.show_sls gvim

              IMPORTANT:
                 This  function  requires  Git for Windows to be installed in order to work. When
                 installing, make sure to select an installation option  which  permits  the  git
                 executable to be run from the Command Prompt.

              clean  False Clean repo cachedirs which are not configured under winrepo_remotes.

                     NOTE:
                        This  option only applies if either pygit2 or GitPython is installed into
                        Salt's bundled Python.

       Manage X509 certificates

       New in version 2015.8.0.

       depends
              M2Crypto

       salt.modules.x509.create_certificate(path=None,         text=False,        overwrite=True,
       ca_server=None, **kwargs)
              Create an X509 certificate.

              path:  Path to write the certificate to.

              text:  If True, return the PEM text without writing to a file.  Default False.

              overwrite:
                     If True (default), create_certificate will overwrite the  entire  PEM  file.
                     Set  False to preserve existing private keys and dh params that may exist in
                     the PEM file.

              kwargs:
                     Any of the properties below can be included as additional keyword arguments.

              ca_server:
                     Request a remotely signed certificate from ca_server. For this  to  work,  a
                     signing_policy must be specified, and that same policy must be configured on
                     the ca_server. See signing_policy for details. Also, the  salt  master  must
                     permit peers to call the sign_remote_certificate function.

                     Example:

                     /etc/salt/master.d/peer.conf

                        peer:
                          .*:

              subject properties:
                     Any  of the values below can be included to set subject properties Any other
                     subject properties supported by OpenSSL should also work.

                     C:     2 letter Country code

                     CN:    Certificate common name, typically the FQDN.

                     Email: Email address

                     GN:    Given Name

                     L:     Locality

                     O:     Organization

                     OU:    Organization Unit

              signing_private_key:
                     A path or string of the private key in PEM format that will be used to  sign
                     this  certificate. If neither signing_cert, public_key, or csr are included,
                     it will be assumed that this is a self-signed certificate,  and  the  public
                     key matching signing_private_key will be used to create the certificate.

              signing_private_key_passphrase:
                     Passphrase used to decrypt the signing_private_key.

              signing_cert:
                     A  certificate  matching  the  private  key  that  will be used to sign this
                     certificate. This is used to populate the issuer  values  in  the  resulting
                     certificate. Do not include this value for self-signed certificates.

              public_key:
                     The  public key to be included in this certificate. This can be sourced from
                     a public key, certificate, CSR or private key. If a private key is used, the
                     matching  public  key  from  the  private  key  will be generated before any
                     processing is done. This means you can request a certificate from  a  remote
                     CA  using a private key file as your public_key and only the public key will
                     be sent across the network to the CA.  If  neither  public_key  or  csr  are
                     specified,  it  will  be assumed that this is a self-signed certificate, and
                     the public key derived from signing_private_key will be used. Specify either
                     public_key  or csr, not both. Because you can input a CSR as a public key or
                     as a CSR, it is important to understand the difference.  If you import a CSR
                     as  a  public  key,  only  the  public key will be added to the certificate,
                     subject or extension information in the CSR will be lost.

              public_key_passphrase:
                     If the public key is supplied as a private key, this is the passphrase  used
                     to decrypt it.

              csr:   A  file or PEM string containing a certificate signing request. This will be
                     used to supply the subject, extensions and public key of a certificate.  Any
                     subject or extensions specified explicitly will overwrite any in the CSR.

              basicConstraints:
                     X509v3 Basic Constraints extension.

              extensions:
                     The  following  arguments  set  X509v3 Extension values. If the value starts
                     with critical, the extension will be marked as critical.

                     Some special extensions are subjectKeyIdentifier and authorityKeyIdentifier.

                     subjectKeyIdentifier can be an explicit value  or  it  can  be  the  special
                     string  hash.  hash will set the subjectKeyIdentifier equal to the SHA1 hash
                     of the modulus of the public key in this certificate. Note that this is  not
                     the exact same hashing method used by OpenSSL when using the hash value.

                     authorityKeyIdentifier  Use values acceptable to the openssl CLI tools. This
                     will    automatically    populate    authorityKeyIdentifier     with     the
                     subjectKeyIdentifier  of  signing_cert.  If this is a self-signed cert these
                     values will be the same.

              days_valid:
                     The number of days this certificate should be valid. This sets the  notAfter
                     property of the certificate. Defaults to 365.

              version:
                     The  version  of  the X509 certificate. Defaults to 3. This is automatically
                     converted to the version value, so version=3 sets  the  certificate  version
                     field to 0x2.

              serial_number:
                     The  serial number to assign to this certificate. If omitted a random serial
                     number of size serial_bits is generated.

              serial_bits:
                     The number of  bits  to  use  when  randomly  generating  a  serial  number.
                     Defaults to 64.

              algorithm:
                     The  hashing algorithm to be used for signing this certificate.  Defaults to
                     sha256.

              copypath:
                     An additional path to copy the resulting certificate  to.  Can  be  used  to
                     maintain a copy of all certificates issued for revocation purposes.

              prepend_cn:
                     If  set  to  True,  the  CN  and  a dash will be prepended to the copypath's
                     filename.

                     Example:
                            /etc/pki/issued_certs/www.example.com-DE:CA:FB:AD:00:00:00:00.crt

              signing_policy:
                     A signing policy that should be used to create  this  certificate.   Signing
                     policies  should  be  defined  in  the  minion configuration, or in a minion
                     pillar. It should be a YAML formatted list of arguments which will  override
                     any arguments passed to this function. If the minions key is included in the
                     signing policy, only minions  matching  that  pattern  (see  match.glob  and
                     match.compound) will be permitted to remotely request certificates from that
                     policy.  In order to match.compound to work salt master  must  peers  permit
                     peers to call it.

                     Example:

                     /etc/salt/master.d/peer.conf

                        peer:
                          .*:
                            - match.compound

                     Example:

              not_after:
                     Final validity date for the certificate. This date must be specified in  the
                     format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'.

                     A  path or string of the private key in PEM format that will be used to sign
                     the CRL. This is required.

              signing_cert:
                     A certificate matching the private key that will be used to  sign  the  CRL.
                     This is required.

              revoked:
                     A  list  of  dicts  containing  all  the  certificates  to revoke. Each dict
                     represents one certificate. A dict must contain either the key serial_number
                     with  the  value  of the serial number to revoke, or certificate with either
                     the PEM encoded text of the certificate, or a path  to  the  certificate  to
                     revoke.

                     The  dict  can  optionally  contain  the revocation_date key. If this key is
                     omitted the revocation date will be set to now. If should be a string in the
                     format "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S".

                     The dict can also optionally contain the not_after key. This is redundant if
                     the certificate key is included. If the Certificate  key  is  not  included,
                     this  can  be  used  for  the logic behind the include_expired parameter. If
                     should be a string in the format "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S".

                     The dict can also optionally contain the reason key. This is the reason code
                     for  the  revocation.  Available  choices  are  unspecified,  keyCompromise,
                     CACompromise,  affiliationChanged,  superseded,   cessationOfOperation   and

   salt.modules.xapi_virt
       This module (mostly) uses the XenAPI to manage Xen virtual machines.

       Big fat warning: the XenAPI used in this file is the one  bundled  with  Xen  Source,  NOT
       XenServer  nor Xen Cloud Platform. As a matter of fact it will fail under those platforms.
       From what I've read, little work is needed to adapt this code to  XS/XCP,  mostly  playing
       with  XenAPI version, but as XCP is not taking precedence on Xen Source on many platforms,
       please keep compatibility in mind.

   salt.modules.yumpkg
       Support for YUM/DNF

       IMPORTANT:
          If  you  feel that Salt should be using this module to manage packages on a minion, and
          it is using a different module (or gives an  error  similar  to  'pkg.install'  is  not
          available), see here.

                 salt '*' pkg.del_repo myrepo
                 salt '*' pkg.del_repo myrepo basedir=/path/to/dir
                 salt '*' pkg.del_repo myrepo basedir=/path/to/dir,/path/to/another/dir

       salt.modules.yumpkg.diff(*paths, **kwargs)
              Return a formatted diff between current files and original  in  a  package.   NOTE:
              this  function  includes  all  files  (configuration and not), but does not work on
              binary content.

              Parameters
                     path -- Full path to the installed file

              Returns
                     Difference string or raises and exception if examined file is binary.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.diff /etc/apache2/httpd.conf /etc/sudoers

       salt.modules.yumpkg.download(*packages, **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.5.0.

              Download packages to the local disk. Requires yumdownloader from yum-utils package.

              NOTE:
                 yum-utils will already be installed on the minion if the package  was  installed
                 from the Fedora / EPEL repositories.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.download httpd
                 salt '*' pkg.download httpd postfix

       salt.modules.yumpkg.file_dict(*packages, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              List  the  files  that  belong to a package, grouped by package. Not specifying any
              packages will return a list of  every  file  on  the  system's  rpm  database  (not
              generally recommended).

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list httpd postfix
                 salt '*' pkg.file_list

       salt.modules.yumpkg.file_list(*packages, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              List  the files that belong to a package. Not specifying any packages will return a

       salt.modules.yumpkg.get_locked_packages(pattern='[\\w+]+(?:[.-][^-]+)*', full=True)
              This function is an alias of list_holds.
                 Changed  in   version   2016.3.0,2015.8.4,2015.5.10:   Function   renamed   from
                 pkg.get_locked_pkgs to pkg.list_holds.

                 List information on locked packages

                 NOTE:
                     Requires the appropriate versionlock plugin package to be installed:

                     • On RHEL 5: yum-versionlock

                     • On RHEL 6 & 7: yum-plugin-versionlock

                     • On Fedora: python-dnf-plugins-extras-versionlock

                 pattern
                        w+(?:[.-][^-]+)* Regular expression used to match the package name

                 full   True  Show  the  full hold definition including version and epoch. Set to
                        False to return just the name of the package(s) being held.

                 CLI Example:

                     salt '*' pkg.list_holds
                     salt '*' pkg.list_holds full=False

       salt.modules.yumpkg.get_repo(repo, basedir=None, **kwargs)
              Display a repo from <basedir> (default basedir: all dirs in reposdir yum option).

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.get_repo myrepo
                 salt '*' pkg.get_repo myrepo basedir=/path/to/dir
                 salt '*' pkg.get_repo myrepo basedir=/path/to/dir,/path/to/another/dir

       salt.modules.yumpkg.group_diff(name)
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              Changed  in  version  2016.3.0,2015.8.4,2015.5.10:  Environment  groups   are   now
              supported.  The  key  names  have  been  renamed,  similar  to  the changes made in
              pkg.group_info.

              Lists which of a group's packages are installed and which are not installed

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.group_diff 'Perl Support'

       salt.modules.yumpkg.group_info(name, expand=False, ignore_groups=None)
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              Changed in version 3001,2016.3.0,2015.8.4,2015.5.10: The return data has changed. A
              new  key type has been added to distinguish environment groups from package groups.
              Also, keys for the group name and group ID have been added. The mandatory packages,
              optional  packages,  and  default  packages  keys  have  been renamed to mandatory,
              optional, and default for accuracy, as environment groups include other groups, and
              not packages. Finally, this function now properly identifies conditional packages.

              Lists packages belonging to a certain group

              name   Name of the group to query

              expand False If the specified group is an environment group, then the group will be
                     expanded and the return data will include package  names  instead  of  group
                     names.

                     New in version 2016.3.0.

              ignore_groups
                     None  This  parameter  can  be  used to pass a list of groups to ignore when
                     expanding subgroups. It  is  used  during  recursion  in  order  to  prevent
                     expanding the same group multiple times.

                     New in version 3001.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.group_info 'Perl Support'

       salt.modules.yumpkg.group_install(name, skip=(), include=(), **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              Install   the   passed  package  group(s).  This  is  basically  a  wrapper  around
              pkg.install, which performs package group resolution for the user. This function is
              currently considered experimental, and should be expected to undergo changes.

              name   Package  group  to  install.  To  install  more than one group, either use a
                     comma-separated list or pass the value as a python list.

                     CLI Examples:

                        salt '*' pkg.group_install 'Group 1'
                        salt '*' pkg.group_install 'Group 1,Group 2'
                        salt '*' pkg.group_install '["Group 1", "Group 2"]'

              skip   Packages that would normally be installed by the  package  group  ("default"
                     packages),  which  should  not  be  installed.  Can  be  passed  either as a
                     comma-separated list or a python list.

                     CLI Examples:

                        salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' skip='foo,bar'
                        salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' skip='["foo", "bar"]'

              include
                     Packages which are  included  in  a  group,  which  would  not  normally  be
                     installed  by  a yum groupinstall ("optional" packages). Note that this will
                     not enforce group membership; if you include packages which are not  members
                     of the specified groups, they will still be installed.  Can be passed either
                     as a comma-separated list or a python list.

                     CLI Examples:

                        salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' include='foo,bar'
                        salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' include='["foo", "bar"]'

              NOTE:
                 Because this is essentially a wrapper around pkg.install, any argument which can
                 be  passed to pkg.install may also be included here, and it will be passed along
                 wholesale.

       salt.modules.yumpkg.group_list()
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              Lists all groups known by yum on this system

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.group_list

       salt.modules.yumpkg.groupinstall(name, skip=(), include=(), **kwargs)
              This function is an alias of group_install.
                 New in version 2014.1.0.

                 is currently considered experimental, and should be expected to undergo changes.

                 name   Package group to install. To install more than one group,  either  use  a
                        comma-separated list or pass the value as a python list.

                        CLI Examples:

                            salt '*' pkg.group_install '["Group 1", "Group 2"]'

                 skip   Packages that would normally be installed by the package group ("default"
                        packages), which should not be installed.  Can  be  passed  either  as  a

                            salt '*' pkg.group_install 'My Group' skip='["foo", "bar"]'

                 include
                        Packages  which  are  included  in  a  group, which would not normally be
                        installed by a yum groupinstall ("optional"  packages).  Note  that  this
                        will  not enforce group membership; if you include packages which are not

       salt.modules.yumpkg.hold(name=None, pkgs=None, sources=None, normalize=True, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Version-lock packages

              NOTE:
                 Requires the appropriate versionlock plugin package to be installed:

                 • On RHEL 5: yum-versionlock

                 • On RHEL 6 & 7: yum-plugin-versionlock

                 • On Fedora: python-dnf-plugins-extras-versionlock

              name   The name of the package to be held.

              Multiple Package Options:

              pkgs   A  list  of  packages  to  hold.  Must  be passed as a python list. The name
                     parameter will be ignored if this option is passed.

              Returns a dict containing the changes.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.hold <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.hold pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'

       salt.modules.yumpkg.info_installed(*names, **kwargs)
              New in version 2015.8.1.

              Return the information of the named package(s), installed on the system.

              Parameters
                     all_versions --  Include  information  for  all  versions  of  the  packages
                     installed on the minion.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1>
                 salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> <package2> <package3> ...
                 salt '*' pkg.info_installed <package1> <package2> <package3> all_versions=True

       salt.modules.yumpkg.install(name=None,    refresh=False,   skip_verify=False,   pkgs=None,
       sources=None,  downloadonly=False,  reinstall=False,  normalize=True,  update_holds=False,
       saltenv='base', ignore_epoch=False, **kwargs)
              Changed  in  version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions running systemd>=205,
              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from
              the  salt-minion  daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd from killing
              any yum/dnf commands spawned by Salt when the  salt-minion  service  is  restarted.
              (see  KillMode  in  the  systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired,
              usage of systemd-run(1) can  be  suppressed  by  setting  a  config  option  called
              systemd.scope, with a value of False (no quotes).

              Install  the  passed  package(s), add refresh=True to clean the yum database before
              package is installed.

              name   The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored
                     if either "pkgs" or "sources" is passed. Additionally, please note that this
                     option can only be used to install packages from a software  repository.  To
                     install a package file manually, use the "sources" option.

                     32-bit  packages  can  be  installed  on  64-bit  systems  by  appending the
                     architecture designation (.i686, .i586, etc.) to  the  end  of  the  package
                     name.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

              refresh
                     Whether or not to update the yum database before executing.

              reinstall
                     Specifying reinstall=True will use yum reinstall rather than yum install for
                     requested packages that are already installed.

                     If a version is specified with the requested  package,  then  yum  reinstall
                     will only be used if the installed version matches the requested version.

                     Works  with  sources when the package header of the source can be matched to
                     the name and version of an installed package.

                     New in version 2014.7.0.

              skip_verify
                     Skip the GPG verification check (e.g., --nogpgcheck)

              downloadonly
                     Only download the packages, do not install.

              version
                     Install a specific version of the  package,  e.g.  1.2.3-4.el5.  Ignored  if
                     "pkgs" or "sources" is passed.

                     Changed  in  version  2018.3.0: version can now contain comparison operators
                     (e.g. >1.2.3, <=2.0, etc.)

              update_holds
                     False If True, and this function  would  update  the  package  version,  any
                     packages  held using the yum/dnf "versionlock" plugin will be unheld so that
                     they can be updated. Otherwise, if this function attempts to update  a  held
                     package, the held package(s) will be skipped and an error will be raised.

                     New in version 2016.11.0.

              setopt A  comma-separated  or  Python  list of key=value options. This list will be
                     expanded and --setopt prepended to each in the yum/dnf command that is run.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install foo setopt='obsoletes=0,plugins=0'

                     New in version 2019.2.0.

                     (e.g., yum --disablerepo='*' --enablerepo='somerepo')

              enablerepo (ignored if fromrepo is specified)
                     Specify  a  disabled package repository (or repositories) to enable.  (e.g.,
                     yum --enablerepo='somerepo')

              disablerepo (ignored if fromrepo is specified)
                     Specify an enabled package repository (or repositories) to disable.   (e.g.,

              disableexcludes
                     Disable  exclude  from  main,  for  a  repo  or  for everything.  (e.g., yum
                     --disableexcludes='main')

                     New in version 2014.7.0.

              ignore_epoch
                     False Only used  when  the  version  of  a  package  is  specified  using  a
                     comparison  operator  (e.g.  >4.1).  If  set to True, then the epoch will be
                     ignored when  comparing  the  currently-installed  version  to  the  desired
                     version.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              Multiple Package Installation Options:

              pkgs   A  list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as
                     a python list. A specific  version  number  can  be  specified  by  using  a
                     single-element dict representing the package and its version.

                     CLI Examples:

                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4.el5"}]'

              sources
                     A  list  of RPM packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with
                     the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI  or  local
                     path to the package.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"}, {"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'

              normalize
                     True Normalize the package name by removing the architecture. This is useful
                     for poorly created packages which  might  include  the  architecture  as  an
                     actual part of the name such as kernel modules which match a specific kernel
                     version.

              diff_attr:
                     If a list of package attributes is specified, returned  value  will  contain
                     them, eg.:

                        {'<package>': {
                            'old': {
                                'version': '<old-version>',
                                'arch': '<old-arch>'},

                            'new': {
                                'version': '<new-version>',
                                'arch': '<new-arch>'}}}

                     Valid   attributes   are:   epoch,  version,  release,  arch,  install_date,
                     install_date_time_t.

                     If all is specified, all valid attributes will be returned.

                     New in version 2018.3.0.

              Returns a dict containing the new package names and versions:

                 {'<package>': {'old': '<old-version>',
                                'new': '<new-version>'}}

              If an attribute list in diff_attr is specified, the  dict  will  also  contain  any
              specified attribute, eg.:

                 {'<package>': {
                     'old': {
                         'version': '<old-version>',
                         'arch': '<old-arch>'},

                     'new': {
                         'version': '<new-version>',
                         'arch': '<new-arch>'}}}

       salt.modules.yumpkg.latest_version(*names, **kwargs)
              Return   the  latest  version  of  the  named  package  available  for  upgrade  or
              installation. If more than one package name is specified, a  dict  of  name/version
              pairs is returned.

              If the latest version of a given package is already installed, an empty string will
              be returned for that package.

              A specific repo can be requested using  the  fromrepo  keyword  argument,  and  the
              disableexcludes option is also supported.

              New in version 2014.7.0: Support for the disableexcludes option

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name>
                 salt '*' pkg.latest_version <package name> fromrepo=epel-testing

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_downloaded

       salt.modules.yumpkg.list_holds(pattern='[\\w+]+(?:[.-][^-]+)*', full=True)
              Changed    in    version   2016.3.0,2015.8.4,2015.5.10:   Function   renamed   from
              pkg.get_locked_pkgs to pkg.list_holds.

              List information on locked packages

              NOTE:
                 Requires the appropriate versionlock plugin package to be installed:

                 • On RHEL 5: yum-versionlock

                 • On RHEL 6 & 7: yum-plugin-versionlock

                 • On Fedora: python-dnf-plugins-extras-versionlock

              pattern
                     w+(?:[.-][^-]+)* Regular expression used to match the package name

              full   True Show the full hold definition including version and epoch. Set to False
                     to return just the name of the package(s) being held.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_holds
                 salt '*' pkg.list_holds full=False

              New in version 2017.7.0.

              List all known advisory patches from available repos.

              refresh
                     force a refresh if set to True.  If set to False (default) it depends on yum
                     if a refresh is executed.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_patches

       salt.modules.yumpkg.list_pkgs(versions_as_list=False, **kwargs)
              List the packages currently installed as a dict.  By  default,  the  dict  contains
              versions as a comma separated string:

                 {'<package_name>': '<version>[,<version>...]'}

              versions_as_list:
                     If set to true, the versions are provided as a list

                     {'<package_name>': ['<version>', '<version>']}

              attr:  If  a  list  of package attributes is specified, returned value will contain
                     them in addition to version, eg.:

                        {'<package_name>': [{'version' : 'version', 'arch' : 'arch'}]}

                     Valid  attributes  are:  epoch,  version,   release,   arch,   install_date,
                     install_date_time_t.

                     If all is specified, all valid attributes will be returned.
                        New in version 2018.3.0.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs
                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs attr=version,arch
                 salt '*' pkg.list_pkgs attr='["version", "arch"]'

       salt.modules.yumpkg.list_repo_pkgs(*args, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.1.0.

              Changed  in  version  2014.7.0:  All  available  versions  of  each package are now
              returned. This required a slight modification to the structure of the return  dict.
              The  return  data shown below reflects the updated return dict structure. Note that
              packages  which  are   version-locked   using   pkg.hold   will   only   show   the
              currently-installed  version,  as locking a package will make other versions appear
              unavailable to yum/dnf.

              Changed in version 2017.7.0: By default, the  versions  for  each  package  are  no
              longer  organized  by  repository.  To  get  results  organized  by repository, use
              byrepo=True.

              Returns all available packages. Optionally, package names (and name globs)  can  be
              passed  and  the results will be filtered to packages matching those names. This is
              recommended as it speeds up the function considerably.

              WARNING:
                 Running  this  function  on   RHEL/CentOS   6   and   earlier   will   be   more
                 resource-intensive,  as the version of yum that ships with older RHEL/CentOS has
                 no yum subcommand for listing packages from  a  repository.  Thus,  a  yum  list
                 installed and yum list available are run, which generates a lot of output, which
                 must then be analyzed to determine which package information to include  in  the
                 return data.

              This  function  can  be  helpful in discovering the version or repo to specify in a
              pkg.installed state.

              The return data will be a dictionary mapping package names to  a  list  of  version
              numbers,  ordered  from newest to oldest. If byrepo is set to True, then the return
              dictionary will contain repository names at the top level, and each repository will
              map packages to lists of version numbers. For example:

                 # With byrepo=False (default)
                 {
                     'bash': ['4.1.2-15.el6_5.2',
                              '4.1.2-15.el6_5.1',

       salt.modules.yumpkg.normalize_name(name)
              Strips  the  architecture  from  the  specified   package   name,   if   necessary.
              Circumstances where this would be done include:

              • If the arch is 32 bit and the package name ends in a 32-bit arch.

              • If the arch matches the OS arch, or is noarch.

              CLI Example:

                 salt '*' pkg.normalize_name zsh.x86_64

       salt.modules.yumpkg.owner(*paths, **kwargs)
              New in version 2014.7.0.

              Return  the  name  of  the  package  that owns the file. Multiple file paths can be
              passed. Like pkg.version, if a single path is passed, a string  will  be  returned,
              and  if  multiple paths are passed, a dictionary of file/package name pairs will be
              returned.

              If the file is not owned by a package, or is not present on  the  minion,  then  an
              empty string will be returned for that path.

              CLI Examples:

                 salt '*' pkg.owner /usr/bin/apachectl

              NOTE:
                 This  makes  it  possible  to destroy the file system that the clone was created
                 from. The clone parent-child dependency relationship is reversed,  so  that  the
                 origin file system becomes a clone of the specified file system.

                 The  snapshot  that was cloned, and any snapshots previous to this snapshot, are
                 now owned by the promoted clone. The space they use moves from the  origin  file
                 system  to  the promoted clone, so enough space must be available to accommodate
                 these snapshots. No new space is consumed  by  this  operation,  but  the  space
                 accounting  is  adjusted.  The  promoted  clone  must  not  have any conflicting
                 snapshot names of its own. The rename subcommand  can  be  used  to  rename  any
                 conflicting snapshots.

       ignore_repo_failure=False, no_recommends=False, root=None, **kwargs)
              Changed in version 2015.8.12,2016.3.3,2016.11.0: On minions  running  systemd>=205,
              systemd-run(1) is now used to isolate commands which modify installed packages from
              the salt-minion daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd  from  killing
              any zypper commands spawned by Salt when the salt-minion service is restarted. (see
              KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of
              systemd-run(1)  can  be suppressed by setting a config option called systemd.scope,
              with a value of False (no quotes).

              Install the passed package(s), add refresh=True to force a 'zypper refresh'  before
              package is installed.

              name   The name of the package to be installed. Note that this parameter is ignored
                     if either pkgs or sources is passed. Additionally,  please  note  that  this
                     option  can  only be used to install packages from a software repository. To
                     install a package file manually, use the sources option.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install <package name>

              refresh
                     force a refresh if set to True.  If set to False  (default)  it  depends  on
                     zypper if a refresh is executed.

              fromrepo
                     Specify a package repository to install from.

              downloadonly
                     Only download the packages, do not install.

              skip_verify
                     Skip the GPG verification check (e.g., --no-gpg-checks)

              version
                     Can  be either a version number, or the combination of a comparison operator
                     (<, >, <=, >=, =) and a version number (ex. '>1.2.3-4').  This parameter  is
                     ignored if pkgs or sources is passed.

              resolve_capabilities
                     If this option is set to True zypper will take capabilities into account. In
                     this case names which are just provided by a  package  will  get  installed.
                     Default is False.

              Multiple Package Installation Options:

              pkgs   A  list of packages to install from a software repository. Must be passed as
                     a python list. A specific  version  number  can  be  specified  by  using  a
                     single-element  dict  representing  the package and its version. As with the
                     version parameter above, comparison  operators  can  be  used  to  target  a
                     specific version of a package.

                     CLI Examples:

                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", "bar"]'
                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "1.2.3-4"}]'
                        salt '*' pkg.install pkgs='["foo", {"bar": "<1.2.3-4"}]'

              sources
                     A  list  of RPM packages to install. Must be passed as a list of dicts, with
                     the keys being package names, and the values being the source URI  or  local
                     path to the package.

                     CLI Example:

                        salt '*' pkg.install sources='[{"foo": "salt://foo.rpm"},{"bar": "salt://bar.rpm"}]'

              ignore_repo_failure
                     Zypper  returns  error code 106 if one of the repositories are not available
                     for various reasons.  In case to set strict check, this parameter  needs  to
                     be set to True. Default: False.

              no_recommends
                     Do not install recommended packages, only required ones.

       salt.modules.zypperpkg.list_repo_pkgs(*args, **kwargs)
              New in version 2017.7.5,2018.3.1.

              Returns all available packages. Optionally, package names (and name globs)  can  be
              passed  and  the results will be filtered to packages matching those names. This is
              recommended as it speeds up the function considerably.

              This function can be helpful in discovering the version or repo  to  specify  in  a
              pkg.installed state.

              The  return  data  will  be a dictionary mapping package names to a list of version
              numbers, ordered from newest to oldest. If byrepo is set to True, then  the  return
              dictionary will contain repository names at the top level, and each repository will
              map packages to lists of version numbers. For example:

              the salt-minion daemon's control group. This is done to keep systemd  from  killing
              any zypper commands spawned by Salt when the salt-minion service is restarted. (see
              KillMode in the systemd.kill(5) manpage for more information). If desired, usage of
              systemd-run(1)  can  be suppressed by setting a config option called systemd.scope,
              with a value of False (no quotes).

APIS

   Python client API
       Salt provides several entry points for interfacing with Python applications.  These  entry
       points  are  often  referred to as *Client() APIs. Each client accesses different parts of
       Salt, either from the master or from a minion. Each client is detailed below.

       SEE ALSO:
          There are many ways to access Salt programmatically.

          Salt can be used from CLI scripts as well as via a REST interface.

          See Salt's outputter system to retrieve structured  data  from  Salt  as  JSON,  or  as
          shell-friendly text, or many other formats.

          See the state.event runner to utilize Salt's event bus from shell scripts.

          Salt's  netapi  module provides access to Salt externally via a REST interface.  Review
          the netapi module documentation for more information.

   Salt's opts dictionary
       Some clients require access to Salt's opts dictionary. (The dictionary  representation  of
       the master or minion config files.)

       A  common pattern for fetching the opts dictionary is to defer to environment variables if
       they exist or otherwise fetch the config from the default location.

       salt.config.client_config(path, env_var='SALT_CLIENT_CONFIG', defaults=None)
              Load Master configuration data

              Usage:

                 import salt.config
                 master_opts = salt.config.client_config('/etc/salt/master')

              Returns a dictionary of the Salt Master configuration file with  necessary  options
              needed  to  communicate  with  a locally-running Salt Master daemon.  This function
              searches for client specific configurations and adds them  to  the  data  from  the
              master configuration.

              This is useful for master-side operations like LocalClient.

       salt.config.minion_config(path,        env_var='SALT_MINION_CONFIG',        defaults=None,
       cache_minion_id=False, ignore_config_errors=True, minion_id=None, role='minion')
              Reads in the minion configuration file and sets up special options

              This is useful for Minion-side operations, such as the Caller class,  and  manually
              running the loader interface.

                 import salt.config
                 minion_opts = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')

   Salt's Loader Interface
       Modules  in  the  Salt ecosystem are loaded into memory using a custom loader system. This
       allows modules to have conditional requirements (OS, OS version, installed libraries, etc)
       and allows Salt to inject special variables (__salt__, __opts__, etc).

       Most  modules  can  be manually loaded. This is often useful in third-party Python apps or
       when writing tests. However some modules require and expect a full,  running  Salt  system
       underneath.  Notably  modules  that  facilitate master-to-minion communication such as the
       mine, publish, and peer execution modules. The error KeyError: 'master_uri'  is  a  likely
       indicator  for  this  situation.  In those instances use the Caller class to execute those
       modules instead.

       Each module type has a corresponding loader function.

       salt.loader.minion_mods(opts,       context=None,       utils=None,        whitelist=None,
       initial_load=False, loaded_base_name=None, notify=False, static_modules=None, proxy=None)
              Load execution modules

              Returns  a  dictionary  of  execution modules appropriate for the current system by
              evaluating the __virtual__() function in each module.

              Parametersopts (dict) -- The Salt options dictionary

                     • context (dict) -- A Salt  context  that  should  be  made  present  inside
                       generated modules in __context__

                     • utils  (dict)  -- Utility functions which should be made available to Salt
                       modules  in  __utils__.  See  utils_dirs  in  salt.config  for  additional
                       information about configuration.

                     • whitelist (list) -- A list of modules which should be whitelisted.

                     • initial_load (bool) -- Deprecated flag! Unused.

                     • loaded_base_name (str) -- A string marker for the loaded base name.

                     • notify  (bool)  --  Flag  indicating  that  an  event should be fired upon
                       completion of module loading.

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 __grains__ = salt.loader.grains(__opts__)
                 __opts__['grains'] = __grains__
                 __utils__ = salt.loader.utils(__opts__)
                 __salt__ = salt.loader.minion_mods(__opts__, utils=__utils__)
                 __salt__['test.ping']()

       salt.loader.raw_mod(opts, name, functions, mod='modules')
              Returns a single module loaded raw and bypassing the __virtual__ function

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 testmod = salt.loader.raw_mod(__opts__, 'test', None)
                 testmod['test.ping']()

       salt.loader.states(opts,  functions,  utils,  serializers,   whitelist=None,   proxy=None,
       context=None)
              Returns the state modules

              Parametersopts (dict) -- The Salt options dictionary

                     • functions  (dict)  -- A dictionary of minion modules, with module names as
                       keys and funcs as values.

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 statemods = salt.loader.states(__opts__, None, None)

       salt.loader.grains(opts, force_refresh=False, proxy=None, context=None)
              Return the functions for the dynamic grains and the values for the static grains.

              Since grains are computed early in the startup process,  grains  functions  do  not
              have  __salt__  or  __proxy__ available.  At proxy-minion startup, this function is
              called with the proxymodule LazyLoader object so grains functions  can  communicate
              with their controlled device.

                 import salt.config
                 import salt.loader

                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 __grains__ = salt.loader.grains(__opts__)
                 print __grains__['id']

       salt.loader.grain_funcs(opts, proxy=None, context=None)
              Returns the grain functions

                     import salt.config
                     import salt.loader

                     __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                     grainfuncs = salt.loader.grain_funcs(__opts__)

   Salt's Client Interfaces
   LocalClient
       class            salt.client.LocalClient(c_path='/etc/salt/master',            mopts=None,
       skip_perm_errors=False, io_loop=None, keep_loop=False, auto_reconnect=False, listen=False)
              The interface used by the salt CLI tool on the Salt Master

              LocalClient is used to send a command to Salt minions to execute execution  modules
              and return the results to the Salt Master.

              Importing and using LocalClient must be done on the same machine as the Salt Master
              and it must be done using the same user that the Salt Master is running as. (Unless
              external_auth  is  configured  and  authentication  credentials are included in the
              execution).

              NOTE:
                 The LocalClient uses a Tornado IOLoop, this can create  issues  when  using  the
                 LocalClient   inside   an  existing  IOLoop.  If  creating  the  LocalClient  in
                 partnership with another IOLoop either create the  IOLoop  before  creating  the
                 LocalClient,  or when creating the IOLoop use ioloop.current() which will return
                 the ioloop created by LocalClient.

                 import salt.client

                 local = salt.client.LocalClient()
                 local.cmd('*', 'test.fib', [10])

              cmd(tgt,   fun,   arg=(),   timeout=None,    tgt_type='glob',    ret='',    jid='',
              full_return=False, kwarg=None, **kwargs)
                     Synchronously execute a command on targeted minions

                     The  cmd method will execute and wait for the timeout period for all minions
                     to reply, then it will return all minion data at once.

                        >>> import salt.client
                        >>> local = salt.client.LocalClient()
                        >>> local.cmd('*', 'cmd.run', ['whoami'])
                        {'jerry': 'root'}

                     With extra keyword arguments for the command function to be run:

                        local.cmd('*', 'test.arg', ['arg1', 'arg2'], kwarg={'foo': 'bar'})

                     Compound commands can be used for multiple executions in a  single  publish.
                     Function names and function arguments are provided in separate lists but the
                     index values must correlate and an empty list must be used if  no  arguments
                     are required.

                        >>> local.cmd('*', [
                                'grains.items',
                                'sys.doc',
                                'cmd.run',
                            ],
                            [
                                [],
                                [],
                                ['uptime'],
                            ])

                     Parameterstgt  (string or list) -- Which minions to target for the execution.
                              Default is shell glob. Modified by the tgt_type option.

                            • fun (string or list of strings) --

                              The module and function to call on the  specified  minions  of  the
                              form module.function. For example test.ping or grains.items.

                              Compound commands
                                     Multiple  functions  may  be  called  in a single publish by
                                     passing a list of  commands.  This  can  dramatically  lower
                                     overhead  and  speed  up  the application communicating with
                                     Salt.

                                     This requires that the arg param is a list of lists. The fun
                                     list  and  the  arg  list  must correlate by index meaning a
                                     function that does not take  arguments  must  still  have  a
                                     corresponding empty list at the expected index.

                            • arg  (list  or list-of-lists) -- A list of arguments to pass to the
                              remote function. If the function takes  no  arguments  arg  may  be
                              omitted except when executing a compound command.

                            • timeout -- Seconds to wait after the last minion returns but before
                              all minions return.

                            • tgt_type --

                              The type of tgt. Allowed values:

                              • glob - Bash glob completion - Default

                              • pcre - Perl style regular expression

                              • list - Python list of hosts

                              • grain - Match based on a grain comparison

                              • grain_pcre - Grain comparison with a regex

                              • pillar - Pillar data comparison

                              • pillar_pcre - Pillar data comparison with a regex

                              • nodegroup - Match on nodegroup

                              • range - Use a Range server for matching

                              • compound - Pass a compound match string

                              • ipcidr - Match based on Subnet (CIDR notation) or IPv4 address.

                              Changed in version 2017.7.0: Renamed from expr_form to tgt_typeret -- The  returner  to  use.  The  value  passed  can  be  single
                              returner,  or  a comma delimited list of returners to call in order
                              on the minions

                            • kwarg -- A dictionary with keyword arguments for the function.

                            • full_return -- Output the job return only  (default)  or  the  full
                              return including exit code and other job metadata.

                            • kwargs --

                              Optional  keyword  arguments.   Authentication  credentials  may be
                              passed when using external_auth.

                              For  example:   local.cmd('*',   'test.ping',   username='saltdev',
                              password='saltdev',  eauth='pam').  Or: local.cmd('*', 'test.ping',
                              token='5871821ea51754fdcea8153c1c745433')

                     Returns
                            A dictionary with the result of the execution, keyed by minion ID.  A
                            compound command will return a sub-dictionary keyed by function name.

              cmd_async(tgt, fun, arg=(), tgt_type='glob', ret='', jid='', kwarg=None, **kwargs)
                     Asynchronously send a command to connected minions

                     The function signature is the same as cmd() with the following exceptions.

                     Returns

   Salt Caller
       class salt.client.Caller(c_path='/etc/salt/minion', mopts=None)
              Caller  is  the  same interface used by the salt-call command-line tool on the Salt
              Minion.

              Changed in version 2015.8.0: Added the cmd method for consistency  with  the  other
              Salt  clients.   The existing function and sminion.functions interfaces still exist
              but have been removed from the docs.

              Importing and using Caller must be done on the same machine as a Salt Minion and it
              must be done using the same user that the Salt Minion is running as.

              Usage:

                 import salt.client
                 caller = salt.client.Caller()
                 caller.cmd('test.ping')

              Note, a running master or minion daemon is not required to use this class.  Running
              salt-call --local simply sets file_client to 'local'. The same can be  achieved  at
              the Python level by including that setting in a minion config file.

              New in version 2014.7.0: Pass the minion config as the mopts dictionary.

                 import salt.client
                 import salt.config
                 __opts__ = salt.config.minion_config('/etc/salt/minion')
                 __opts__['file_client'] = 'local'
                 caller = salt.client.Caller(mopts=__opts__)

              cmd(fun, *args, **kwargs)
                     Call an execution module with the given arguments and keyword arguments

                     Changed  in  version 2015.8.0: Added the cmd method for consistency with the
                     other Salt clients.  The existing function and sminion.functions  interfaces
                     still exist but have been removed from the docs.

                        caller.cmd('test.arg', 'Foo', 'Bar', baz='Baz')

                        caller.cmd('event.send', 'myco/myevent/something',
                            data={'foo': 'Foo'}, with_env=['GIT_COMMIT'], with_grains=True)

   Salt Proxy Caller
       class salt.client.ProxyCaller(c_path='/etc/salt/proxy', mopts=None)
              ProxyCaller  is  the  same  interface used by the salt-call with the args --proxyid
              <proxyid> command-line tool on the Salt Proxy Minion.

              Importing and using ProxyCaller must be done on the same machine as a  Salt  Minion
              and it must be done using the same user that the Salt Minion is running as.

              Usage:

                 import salt.client
                 caller = salt.client.ProxyCaller()
                 caller.cmd('test.ping')

              Note, a running master or minion daemon is not required to use this class.  Running
              salt-call --local simply sets file_client to 'local'. The same can be  achieved  at
              the Python level by including that setting in a minion config file.

                 import salt.client
                 import salt.config
                 __opts__ = salt.config.proxy_config('/etc/salt/proxy', minion_id='quirky_edison')
                 __opts__['file_client'] = 'local'
                 caller = salt.client.ProxyCaller(mopts=__opts__)

              NOTE:
                 To  use this for calling proxies, the is_proxy functions requires that --proxyid
                 be an argument on the commandline for the script this is used in,  or  that  the
                 string proxy is in the name of the script.

              cmd(fun, *args, **kwargs)
                     Call an execution module with the given arguments and keyword arguments

                        caller.cmd('test.arg', 'Foo', 'Bar', baz='Baz')

                        caller.cmd('event.send', 'myco/myevent/something',
                            data={'foo': 'Foo'}, with_env=['GIT_COMMIT'], with_grains=True)

   RunnerClient
       class salt.runner.RunnerClient(opts, context=None)
              The interface used by the salt-run CLI tool on the Salt Master

              It executes runner modules which run on the Salt Master.

              Importing  and  using  RunnerClient  must  be  done on the same machine as the Salt
              Master and it must be done using the same user that the Salt Master is running as.

              Salt's external_auth can be used to authenticate calls.  The  eauth  user  must  be
              authorized  to  execute  runner  modules:  (@runner).  Only the master_call() below
              supports eauth.

              asynchronous(fun, low, user='UNKNOWN', pub=None, local=True)
                     Execute the function in a multiprocess and return the event tag  to  use  to
                     watch for the return

              cmd(fun, arg=None, pub_data=None, kwarg=None, print_event=True, full_return=False)
                     Execute a function

              cmd_async(low)
                     Execute a runner function asynchronously; eauth is respected

                     This  function  requires  that  external_auth  is configured and the user is
                     authorized to execute runner functions: (@runner).

                        runner.eauth_async({

                        })

   WheelClient
       class salt.wheel.WheelClient(opts=None)
              An interface to Salt's wheel modules

              Wheel modules interact with various parts of the Salt Master.

              Importing and using WheelClient must be done on the same machine as the Salt Master
              and it must be done using the same user that the Salt Master is running as.  Unless
              external_auth  is configured and the user is authorized to execute wheel functions:

   netapi modules
   Introduction to netapi modules
       netapi modules provide API-centric access to Salt. Usually externally-facing services such
       as REST or WebSockets, XMPP, XMLRPC, etc.

       In general netapi modules bind to a port  and  start  a  service.  They  are  purposefully
       open-ended.  A  single  module  can  be  configured  to  run  as  well as multiple modules
       simultaneously.

       netapi modules are enabled by adding configuration to your Salt  Master  config  file  and
       then  starting  the  salt-api  daemon.  Check  the  docs  for  each module to see external
       requirements and configuration settings.

       Communication with Salt and Salt satellite projects is done using Salt's own Python API. A
       list of available client interfaces is below.

          salt-api

                 Prior  to  Salt's  2014.7.0 release, netapi modules lived in the separate sister
                 projected salt-api. That project has been merged into the main Salt project.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of netapi modules

   Client interfaces
       Salt's client interfaces expose executing functions by crafting  a  dictionary  of  values
       that  are mapped to function arguments. This allows calling functions simply by creating a
       data structure. (And this is exactly how much of Salt's own internals work!)

       class salt.netapi.NetapiClient(opts)
              Provide a uniform method of accessing the various client interfaces in Salt in  the
              form of low-data data structures. For example:

              >>> client = NetapiClient(__opts__)
              >>> lowstate = {'client': 'local', 'tgt': '*', 'fun': 'test.ping', 'arg': ''}
              >>> client.run(lowstate)

              local(*args, **kwargs)
                     Run execution modules synchronously

                     See salt.client.LocalClient.cmd() for all available parameters.

                     Sends  a  command  from the master to the targeted minions. This is the same
                     interface that Salt's own CLI uses. Note the arg and  kwarg  parameters  are
                     sent down to the minion(s) and the given function, fun, is called with those
                     parameters.

                     Returns
                            Returns the result from the execution module

              local_async(*args, **kwargs)

                     Wraps salt.runner.RunnerClient.cmd_sync().

                     Note  that  runner  functions  must  be  called  using  keyword   arguments.
                     Positional arguments are not supported.

                     Returns
                            Returns the result from the runner module

              runner_async(fun, **kwargs)
                     Run runner modules <all-salt.runners> asynchronously

                     Returns
                            Returns the result from the wheel module

   Writing netapi modules
       netapi modules, put simply, bind a port  and  start  a  service.   They  are  purposefully
       open-ended  and  can be used to present a variety of external interfaces to Salt, and even
       present multiple interfaces at once.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of netapi modules

   Configuration
       All netapi configuration is done in the Salt master config and takes a form similar to the
       following:

          rest_cherrypy:
            port: 8000
            debug: True
            ssl_crt: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt
            ssl_key: /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.key

   The __virtual__ function
       Like  all  module  types  in  Salt,  netapi  modules go through Salt's loader interface to
       determine if they should be loaded into memory and then executed.

       The __virtual__ function in the module makes this determination and should return False or
       a string that will serve as the name of the module. If the module raises an ImportError or
       any other errors, it will not be loaded.

   The start function
       The start() function will be called for each netapi module that is loaded.  This  function
       should  contain  the  server  loop  that actually starts the service. This is started in a
       multiprocess.

   Multiple instances
       New in version 2016.11.0.

       rest_cherrypy and rest_tornado support running multiple instances by copying and  renaming
       entire  directory of those. To start the copied multiple netapi modules, add configuration
       blocks for the copied netapi modules in the Salt Master config. The  name  of  each  added
       configuration  block  must  match  with  the  name  of each directory of the copied netapi
       module.

   Inline documentation
       As with the rest of Salt, it is a best-practice to include liberal inline documentation in
       the  form  of  a module docstring and docstrings on any classes, methods, and functions in
       your netapi module.

   Loader “magic” methods
       The loader makes the __opts__ data structure available to any function in a netapi module.

ARCHITECTURE

       If you are used to configuration management tools that require you to  plan  down  to  the
       last  detail  before  you  install  anything,  you are probably wondering why this section
       doesn't appear before the installation instructions. With Salt, you can switch to  a  high
       availability  architecture  at  any  time,  and  add  additional  components to scale your
       deployment as you go.

       Since a single Salt master can manage thousands of systems, we usually recommend that  you
       start  by deploying a single Salt master, and then modifying your deployment as needed for
       redundancy, geographical distribution, and scale.

   High Availability Features in Salt
       Salt  supports  several  features  for  high  availability  and  fault  tolerance.   Brief
       documentation  for  these  features  is listed alongside their configuration parameters in
       Configuration file examples.

   Multimaster
       Salt minions can connect to multiple  masters  at  one  time  by  configuring  the  master
       configuration  parameter  as  a  YAML  list of all the available masters.  By default, all
       masters are "hot", meaning that any master can direct commands to the Salt infrastructure.

       In a multimaster configuration, each master must have the  same  cryptographic  keys,  and
       minion  keys  must  be accepted on all masters separately.  The contents of file_roots and
       pillar_roots need to be kept in sync with processes external to Salt as well

       A tutorial on setting up multimaster with "hot" masters is here:

       Multimaster Tutorial

   Multimaster with Failover
       Changing the master_type parameter from str to failover will cause minions to  connect  to
       the  first  responding  master in the list of masters. Every master_alive_interval seconds
       the minions will check to make sure the current master is still responding.  If the master
       does  not  respond, the minion will attempt to connect to the next master in the list.  If
       the minion runs out of masters, the list will be recycled in case dead masters  have  been
       restored.  Note that master_alive_interval must be present in the minion configuration, or
       else the recurring job to check master status will not get scheduled.

       Failover can be combined with PKI-style encrypted keys, but PKI is  NOT  REQUIRED  to  use
       failover.

       Multimaster with PKI and Failover is discussed in this tutorial

       master_type:  failover  can  be  combined  with  master_shuffle:  True  to  spread  minion
       connections across all masters (one master per minion, not each minion connecting  to  all
       masters).   Adding  Salt  Syndics into the mix makes it possible to create a load-balanced
       Salt infrastructure.  If a master fails, minions will notice  and  select  another  master
       from the available list.

   Syndic
       Salt's  Syndic  feature is a way to create differing infrastructure topologies.  It is not
       strictly an HA feature, but can be treated as such.

       With the syndic, a Salt infrastructure can be partitioned  in  such  a  way  that  certain
       masters  control certain segments of the infrastructure, and "Master of Masters" nodes can
       control multiple segments underneath them.

       Syndics are covered in depth in Salt Syndic.

   Syndic with Multimaster
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Syndic with Multimaster lets you connect a  syndic  to  multiple  masters  to  provide  an
       additional layer of redundancy in a syndic configuration.

       Syndics are covered in depth in Salt Syndic.

   Salt Syndic
       The  most  basic  or  typical Salt topology consists of a single Master node controlling a
       group of Minion nodes.  An intermediate node type, called Syndic, when used offers greater
       structural  flexibility  and  scalability  in  the  construction  of  Salt topologies than
       topologies constructed only out of Master and Minion node types.

       A Syndic node can be thought of as a special  passthrough  Minion  node.   A  Syndic  node
       consists of a salt-syndic daemon and a salt-master daemon running on the same system.  The
       salt-master daemon running on the Syndic node controls a group of lower level Minion nodes
       and the salt-syndic daemon connects higher level Master node, sometimes called a Master of
       Masters.

       The salt-syndic daemon relays publications and events between  the  Master  node  and  the
       local  salt-master  daemon.   This  gives  the  Master  node control over the Minion nodes
       attached to the salt-master daemon running on the Syndic node.

   Configuring the Syndic
       To setup a Salt Syndic you need to tell the Syndic node and its  Master  node  about  each
       other.  If your Master node is located at 10.10.0.1, then your configurations would be:

       On the Syndic node:

          # /etc/salt/master
          syndic_master: 10.10.0.1  # may be either an IP address or a hostname

          # /etc/salt/minion

          # id is shared by the salt-syndic daemon and a possible salt-minion daemon
          # on the Syndic node
          id: my_syndic

       On the Master node:

          # /etc/salt/master
          order_masters: True

       The  syndic_master  option tells the Syndic node where to find the Master node in the same
       way that the master option tells a Minion node where to find a Master node.

       The id option is used by the salt-syndic daemon to identify with the Master  node  and  if
       unset will default to the hostname or IP address of the Syndic just as with a Minion.

       The  order_masters  option  configures  the Master node to send extra information with its
       publications that is needed by Syndic nodes connected directly to it.

       NOTE:
          Each Syndic must provide its own file_roots directory. Files will not be  automatically
          transferred from the Master node.

   Configuring the Syndic with Multimaster
       New in version 2015.5.0.

       Syndic  with  Multimaster  lets  you  connect  a  syndic to multiple masters to provide an
       additional layer of redundancy in a syndic configuration.

       Higher level masters should first be  configured  in  a  multimaster  configuration.   See
       Multimaster Tutorial.

       On  the  syndic,  the  syndic_master  option  is populated with a list of the higher level
       masters.

       Since each syndic is connected to each master, jobs sent from any master are forwarded  to
       minions  that  are  connected  to each syndic. If the master_id value is set in the master
       config on the higher level masters, job results are returned to the master that originated
       the  request in a best effort fashion. Events/jobs without a master_id are returned to any
       available master.

   Running the Syndic
       The salt-syndic daemon is a separate process that needs to be started in addition  to  the
       salt-master  daemon  running  on  the Syndic node.  Starting the salt-syndic daemon is the
       same as starting the other Salt daemons.

       The Master node in many ways sees the Syndic as an ordinary Minion node.   In  particular,
       the Master will need to accept the Syndic's Minion key as it would for any other Minion.

       On the Syndic node:

          # salt-syndic
          or
          # service salt-syndic start

       On the Master node:

          # salt-key -a my_syndic

       The  Master  node  will  now  be able to control the Minion nodes connected to the Syndic.
       Only the Syndic key will be listed in the Master node's key registry but this  also  means
       that key activity between the Syndic's Minions and the Syndic does not encumber the Master
       node.  In this way, the Syndic's key on the Master node can be thought of as a placeholder
       for  the  keys  of  all  the  Minion and Syndic nodes beneath it, giving the Master node a
       clear, high level structural view on the Salt cluster.

       On the Master node:

          # salt-key -L
          Accepted Keys:
          my_syndic
          Denied Keys:
          Unaccepted Keys:
          Rejected Keys:

          # salt '*' test.version
          minion_1:
              2018.3.4
          minion_2:
              2018.3.4
          minion_4:
              2018.3.4
          minion_3:
              2018.3.4

   Topology
       A Master node (a node which is itself not a Syndic to another higher  level  Master  node)
       must run a salt-master daemon and optionally a salt-minion daemon.

       A  Syndic  node  must run salt-syndic and salt-master daemons and optionally a salt-minion
       daemon.

       A Minion node must run a salt-minion daemon.

       When a salt-master daemon issues a command, it will be received by the Syndic  and  Minion
       nodes  directly  connected  to  it.   A Minion node will process the command in the way it
       ordinarily would.  On a Syndic node, the salt-syndic daemon will relay the command to  the
       salt-master  daemon  running  on the Syndic node, which then propagates the command to the
       Minions and Syndics connected to it.

       When events and job return data are generated by salt-minion daemons, they are  aggregated
       by  the salt-master daemon they are connected to, which salt-master daemon then relays the
       data back through its salt-syndic daemon until the data reaches the Master or Syndic  node
       that issued the command.

   Syndic wait
       syndic_wait  is  a  master configuration file setting that specifies the number of seconds
       the Salt client should wait for additional  syndics  to  check  in  with  their  lists  of
       expected minions before giving up. This value defaults to 5 seconds.

       The  syndic_wait  setting is necessary because the higher-level master does not have a way
       of knowing which minions are below the syndics. The higher-level master has its  own  list
       of  expected  minions and the masters below them have their own lists as well, so the Salt
       client does not know how long to wait for all returns. The syndic_wait option allows  time
       for all minions to return to the Salt client.

       NOTE:
          To  reduce the amount of time the CLI waits for Minions to respond, install a Minion on
          the Syndic or tune the value of the syndic_wait configuration.

       While it is possible to run a Syndic without a Minion installed on the same system, it  is
       recommended,  for a faster CLI response time, to do so.  Without a Minion installed on the
       Syndic node, the timeout value of syndic_wait increases significantly - about  three-fold.
       With  a  Minion  installed  on the Syndic, the CLI timeout resides at the value defined in
       syndic_wait.

       NOTE:
          If you have a very large infrastructure or many layers of Syndics, you  may  find  that
          the  CLI doesn't wait long enough for the Syndics to return their events.  If you think
          this is the case, you can set the syndic_wait value in the Master configs on the Master
          or  Syndic  nodes from which commands are executed.  The default value is 5, and should
          work for the majority of deployments.

       In order for a Master or Syndic node to return information from  Minions  that  are  below
       their  Syndics, the CLI requires a short wait time in order to allow the Syndics to gather
       responses from their Minions. This value is defined in the syndic_wait config  option  and
       has a default of five seconds.

   Syndic config options
       These  are  the options that can be used to configure a Syndic node.  Note that other than
       id, Syndic config options are placed in the Master config on the Syndic node.

          • id: Syndic id (shared by the salt-syndic daemon with a potential  salt-minion  daemon
            on the same system)

          • syndic_master: Master node IP address or hostname

          • syndic_master_port: Master node ret_port

          • syndic_log_file: path to the logfile (absolute or not)

          • syndic_pidfile: path to the pidfile (absolute or not)

          • syndic_wait: time in seconds to wait on returns from this syndic

   Minion Data Cache
       Beginning  with Salt 2016.11.0, the Pluggable Minion Data Cache was introduced. The minion
       data cache contains the Salt Mine data,  minion  grains,  and  minion  pillar  information
       cached  on  the  Salt  Master.  By  default, Salt uses the localfs cache module, but other
       external data stores can be used instead.

       Using a pluggable minion cache modules allows for the data stored on a Salt  Master  about
       Salt Minions to be replicated on other Salt Masters the Minion is connected to. Please see
       the Minion Data Cache documentation for more information and configuration examples.

MINION DATA CACHE

       New in version 2016.11.0.

       The Minion data cache contains the  Salt  Mine  data,  minion  grains  and  minion  pillar
       information  cached  on the Salt Master. By default, Salt uses the localfs cache module to
       save the data in a msgpack file on the Salt Master.

   Pluggable Data Cache
       While the default Minion data cache is the localfs cache, other external data  stores  can
       also  be used to store this data such as the consul module.  To configure a Salt Master to
       use a different data store, the cache setting needs to be established:

          cache: consul

       The pluggable data cache streamlines using various Salt topologies such as a  Multi-Master
       or  Salt Syndics configuration by allowing the data stored on the Salt Master about a Salt
       Minion to be available to other Salt Syndics  or  Salt  Masters  that  a  Salt  Minion  is
       connected to.

       Additional  minion  data  cache  modules can be easily created by modeling the custom data
       store after one of the existing cache modules.

       See cache modules for a current list.

   Configuring the Minion Data Cache
       The default localfs Minion data cache module doesn't require any configuration.   External
       data  cache  modules  with  external  data  stores  such as Consul require a configuration
       setting in the master config.

       Here's an example config for Consul:

          consul.host: 127.0.0.1
          consul.port: 8500
          consul.token: None
          consul.scheme: http
          consul.consistency: default
          consul.dc: dc1
          consul.verify: True

          cache: consul

SLOTS

       New in version 2018.3.0.

       Changed in version 3000.

       NOTE:
          This functionality is under development and could be changed in the future releases

       Many times it is useful to store the  results  of  a  command  during  the  course  of  an
       execution. Salt Slots are designed to allow you to store this information and use it later
       during the highstate or other job execution.

       Slots extend the state syntax and allows you to do things right before the state  function
       is  executed.  So  you  can  make  a  decision  in the last moment right before a state is
       executed.

   Execution functions
       NOTE:
          Using execution modules return data as  a  state  values  is  a  first  step  of  Slots
          development. Other functionality is under development.

       Slots allow you to use the return from a remote-execution function as an argument value in
       states.

       Slot syntax looks close to the simple python function call.

          __slot__:salt:<module>.<function>(<args>, ..., <kwargs...>, ...)

       For the 3000 release, this syntax has been updated  to  support  parsing  functions  which
       return dictionaries and for appending text to the slot result.

          __slot__:salt:<module>.<function>(<args>..., <kwargs...>, ...).dictionary ~ append

       There  are  some  specifics in the syntax coming from the execution functions nature and a
       desire to simplify the user experience. First one is that you  don't  need  to  quote  the
       strings  passed  to  the  slots functions. The second one is that all arguments handled as
       strings.

       Here is a simple example:

          copy-some-file:
            file.copy:
              - name: __slot__:salt:test.echo(text=/tmp/some_file)
              - source: __slot__:salt:test.echo(/etc/hosts)

       This will execute the test.echo execution functions right before calling  the  state.  The
       functions  in  the  example will return /tmp/some_file and /etc/hosts strings that will be
       used as a target and source arguments in the state function file.copy.

       Here is an example of result parsing and appending:

          file-in-user-home:
            file.copy:
              - name: __slot__:salt:user.info(someuser).home ~ /subdirectory
              - source: salt://somefile

WINDOWS

       This section contains details on the Windows Package Manager, and specific information you
       need to use Salt on Windows.

   Windows Package Manager
   Introduction
       The  Windows  Package Manager provides a software repository and a package manager similar
       to what is provided by yum and apt  on  Linux.  This  tool  enables  the  installation  of
       software on remote Windows systems.

       The  repository  contains a collection of software definition files. A software definition
       file is a YAML/JINJA file with an .sls file extension. It  contains  all  the  information
       Salt  needs  to  install  a  software  package on a Windows system, including the download
       location of the installer, required command-line switches for silent install, etc.

       Software definition files can be hosted in one  or  more  Git  repositories.  The  default
       repository  is  hosted  on GitHub by SaltStack. It is maintained by SaltStack and the Salt
       community and contains software definition files for many common Windows packages.  Anyone
       is  welcome  to  submit  a  pull request to this repo to add new software definitions. The
       default github repository is:

       • salt-winrepo-ng

       The Windows Package Manager is used the same way as other package managers Salt  is  aware
       of. For example:

       • the pkg.installed and similar states work on Windows.

       • the pkg.install and similar module functions work on Windows.

       High level differences to yum and apt are:

       • The repository metadata (SLS files) can be managed through either Salt or git

       • Packages  can  be  downloaded  from within the Salt repository, a git repository or from
         HTTP(S) or FTP URLs

       • No dependencies are managed. Dependencies between packages need to be managed manually

   Requirements
       If using the a software definition files hosted on a Git repo, the following libraries are
       required:

       • GitPython 0.3 or later

         or

       • pygit2 0.20.3 with libgit 0.20.0 or later

   Quick Start
       You  can get up and running with winrepo pretty quickly just using the defaults.  Assuming
       no changes to the default configuration (ie, file_roots) run the following commands on the
       master:

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt * pkg.refresh_db
          salt * pkg.install firefox_x64

       On a masterless minion run the following:

          salt-call --local winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt-call --local pkg.refresh_db
          salt-call --local pkg.install firefox_x64

       These  commands  clone the default winrepo from github, update the winrepo database on the
       minion, and install the latest version of Firefox.

   Configuration
       The Github repository (winrepo) is synced to the file_roots in a location specified by the
       winrepo_dir_ng setting in the config. The default value of winrepo_dir_ng is as follows:

       • Linux master: /srv/salt/win/repo-ng (salt://win/repo-ng)

       • Masterless minion: C:\salt\srv\salt\win\repo-ng (salt://win/repo-ng)

   Master Configuration
       The following are settings are available for configuring the winrepo on the master:

       • winrepo_dirwinrepo_dir_ngwinrepo_remoteswinrepo_remotes_ngwinrepo_branchwinrepo_providerwinrepo_ssl_verify

       See here for detailed information on all master config options for winrepo.

   winrepo_dir
       winrepo_dir (str)

       This  setting  is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It points to
       the location in the file_roots  where  the  winrepo  files  are  kept.   The  default  is:
       /srv/salt/win/repo

   winrepo_dir_ng
       winrepo_dir_ng (str)

       The  location  in  the  file_roots  where  the  winrepo  files  are  kept.  The default is
       /srv/salt/win/repo-ng.

       WARNING:
          You can change the location of the winrepo directory. However, it must always be set to
          a  path that is inside the file_roots.  Otherwise the software definition files will be
          unreachable by the minion.

       IMPORTANT:
          A common  mistake  is  to  change  the  file_roots  setting  and  fail  to  update  the
          winrepo_dir_ng and winrepo_dir settings so that they are inside the file_roots

   winrepo_remotes
       winrepo_remotes (list)

       This  setting  is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It points to
       the legacy git repo. The default is a list containing a single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo

       The legacy repo can be disabled by setting it to an empty list in the master config.

          winrepo_remotes: []

   winrepo_remotes_ng
       winrepo_remotes_ng (list)

       This setting tells the winrepo.upgate_git_repos command where the next generation  winrepo
       is  hosted.  This a list of URLs to multiple git repos. The default is a list containing a
       single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng

   winrepo_refspecs
       winrepo_refspecs (list)

       Specify  what  references  to   fetch   from   remote   repositories.   The   default   is
       ['+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*', '+refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*']

   winrepo_branch
       winrepo_branch (str)

       The branch of the git repo to checkout. The default is master

   winrepo_provider
       winrepo_provider (str)

       The  provider  to  be  used  for  winrepo. Default is pygit2. Falls back to gitpython when
       pygit2 is not available

   winrepo_ssl_verify
       winrepo_ssl_verify (bool)

       Ignore SSL certificate errors when contacting remote repository. Default is False

   Master Configuration (pygit2)
       The following configuration options only apply when the winrepo_provider option is set  to
       pygit2.

       • winrepo_insecure_authwinrepo_passphrasewinrepo_passwordwinrepo_privkeywinrepo_pubkeywinrepo_user

   winrepo_insecure_auth
       winrepo_insecure_auth (bool)

       Used only with pygit2 provider. Whether or not to allow insecure auth.  Default is False

   winrepo_passphrase
       winrepo_passphrase (str)

       Used  only  with  pygit2  provider.  Used  when  the SSH key being used to authenticate is
       protected by a passphrase. Default is ''

   winrepo_privkey
       winrepo_privkey (str)

       Used only with pygit2 provider. Used with winrepo_pubkey to authenticate to  SSH  remotes.
       Default is ''

   winrepo_pubkey
       winrepo_pubkey (str)

       Used  only with pygit2 provider. Used with winrepo_privkey to authenticate to SSH remotes.
       Default is ''

   winrepo_user
       winrepo_user (str)

       Used only with pygit2 provider.  Used  with  winrepo_password  to  authenticate  to  HTTPS
       remotes. Default is ''

   winrepo_password
       winrepo_password (str)

       Used  only  with pygit2 provider. Used with winrepo_user to authenticate to HTTPS remotes.
       Default is ''

   Minion Configuration
       Refreshing the package definitions can take some time, these options  were  introduced  to
       allow  more  control  of  when  it  occurs. These settings apply to all minions whether in
       masterless mode or not.

       • winrepo_cache_expire_maxwinrepo_cache_expire_minwinrepo_cachefilewinrepo_source_dir

   winrepo_cache_expire_max
       winrepo_cache_expire_max (int)

       Sets the maximum age in seconds of the winrepo metadata file to avoid it  becoming  stale.
       If  the  metadata  file is older than this setting it will trigger a pkg.refresh_db on the
       next run of any pkg module function that requires the metadata file. Default is 604800  (1
       week).

       Software    package    definitions    are   automatically   refreshed   if   stale   after
       winrepo_cache_expire_max.  Running a highstate normal forces the refresh  of  the  package
       definition   and  generation  of  the  metadata,  unless  the  metadata  is  younger  than
       winrepo_cache_expire_max.

   winrepo_cache_expire_min
       winrepo_cache_expire_min (int)

       Sets the minimum age in seconds of the winrepo  metadata  file  to  avoid  refreshing  too
       often.  If  the  metadata  file  is older than this setting the metadata will be refreshed
       unless you pass refresh: False in the state. Default is 1800 (30 min).

   winrepo_cachefile
       winrepo_cachefile (str)

       The file name of the winrepo cache file. The file is placed at the root of winrepo_dir_ng.
       Default is winrepo.p.

   winrepo_source_dir
       winrepo_source_dir (str)

       The  location  of  the .sls files on the Salt file server. This allows for using different
       environments. Default is salt://win/repo-ng/.

       WARNING:
          If the default for winrepo_dir_ng is changed, this setting may need to changed on  each
          minion.  The  default setting for winrepo_dir_ng is /srv/salt/win/repo-ng. If that were
          changed to /srv/salt/new/repo-ng then the winrepo_source_dir would need to  be  changed
          to salt://new/repo-ng

   Masterless Minion Configuration
       The  following  are  settings  are  available  for configuring the winrepo on a masterless
       minion:

       • winrepo_dirwinrepo_dir_ngwinrepo_remoteswinrepo_remotes_ng

       See here for detailed information on all minion config options for winrepo.

   winrepo_dir
       winrepo_dir (str)

       This setting is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It  points  to
       the  location  in  the  file_roots  where  the  winrepo  files  are kept.  The default is:
       C:\salt\srv\salt\win\repo

   winrepo_dir_ng
       winrepo_dir_ng (str)

       The location in  the  file_roots  where  the  winrepo  files  are  kept.  The  default  is
       ``C:\salt\srv\salt\win\repo-ng.

       WARNING:
          You can change the location of the winrepo directory. However, it must always be set to
          a path that is inside the file_roots.  Otherwise the software definition files will  be
          unreachable by the minion.

       IMPORTANT:
          A  common  mistake  is  to  change  the  file_roots  setting  and  fail  to  update the
          winrepo_dir_ng and winrepo_dir settings so that they are  inside  the  file_roots.  You
          might also want to verify winrepo_source_dir on the minion as well.

   winrepo_remotes
       winrepo_remotes (list)

       This  setting  is maintained for backwards compatibility with legacy minions. It points to
       the legacy git repo. The default is a list containing a single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo

       The legacy repo can be disabled by setting it to an empty list in the minion config.

          winrepo_remotes: []

   winrepo_remotes_ng
       winrepo_remotes_ng (list)

       This setting tells the winrepo.upgate_git_repos command where the next generation  winrepo
       is  hosted.  This a list of URLs to multiple git repos. The default is a list containing a
       single URL:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng

   Initialization
   Populate the Local Repository
       The SLS files used to install Windows packages are not distributed by default  with  Salt.
       Use  the  winrepo.update_git_repos  runner  initialize  the  repository  in  the  location
       specified by winrepo_dir_ng in the master config. This will pull the  software  definition
       files down from the git repository.

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos

       If  running  a minion in masterless mode, the same command can be run using salt-call. The
       repository will be initialized in the location specified by winrepo_dir_ng in  the  minion
       config.

          salt-call --local winrepo.update_git_repos

       These  commands  will  also  sync down the legacy repo to maintain backwards compatibility
       with legacy minions. See Legacy Minions

       The legacy repo can be disabled by setting it to an empty list in  the  master  or  minion
       config.

          winrepo_remotes: []

   Generate the Metadata File (Legacy)
       This  step  is  only  required  if you are supporting legacy minions. In current usage the
       metadata file is generated on the minion in the next step, Update the Minion Database. For
       legacy  minions  the  metadata  file  is generated on the master using the winrepo.genrepo
       runner.

          salt-run winrepo.genrepo

   Update the Minion Database
       Run pkg.refresh_db on each of your Windows minions to synchronize the  package  repository
       to the minion and build the package database.

          # From the master
          salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.refresh_db

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.refresh_db

       The  above  command  returns  the  following  summary denoting the number of packages that
       succeeded or failed to compile:

          local:
              ----------
              failed:
                  0
              success:
                  301
              total:
                  301

       NOTE:
          This command can take a few minutes to complete as the software  definition  files  are
          copied to the minion and the database is generated.

       NOTE:
          Use  pkg.refresh_db when developing new Windows package definitions to check for errors
          in the definitions against one or more Windows minions.

   Usage
       After completing the configuration and initialization  steps,  you  are  ready  to  manage
       software on your Windows minions.

       NOTE:
          The following example commands can be run from the master using salt or on a masterless
          minion using salt-call

   List Installed Packages
       You can get a list of packages installed on the system using pkg.list_pkgs.

          # From the master
          salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.list_pkgs

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.list_pkgs

       This will return all software installed on the system whether it is managed by Salt or not
       as shown below:

          local:
              ----------
              Frhed 1.6.0:
                  1.6.0
              GNU Privacy Guard:
                  2.2.16
              Gpg4win (3.1.9):
                  3.1.9
              git:
                  2.17.1.2
              nsis:
                  3.03
              python3_x64:
                  3.7.4150.0
              salt-minion-py3:
                  2019.2.3

       You  can  tell by how the software name is displayed which software is managed by Salt and
       which software is not. When Salt finds a match in the winrepo  database  it  displays  the
       short  name  as  defined  in  the  software  definition file. It is usually a single-word,
       lower-case name. All other software names will be displayed with the full name as they are
       shown  in  Add/Remove  Programs.  So,  in  the  return  above, you can see that Git (git),
       Nullsoft Installer (nsis), Python 3.7 (python3_x64) and Salt (salt-minion-py3) all have  a
       corresponding software definition file. The others do not.

   List Available Versions
       You  can query the available version of a package using pkg.list_available and passing the
       name of the software:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.list_available firefox_x64

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.list_available firefox_x64

       The above command will return the following:

          winminion:
              - 69.0
              - 69.0.1
              - 69.0.2
              - 69.0.3
              - 70.0
              - 70.0.1
              - 71.0
              - 72.0
              - 72.0.1
              - 72.0.2
              - 73.0
              - 73.0.1
              - 74.0

       As you can see, there are many versions of Firefox available for  installation.   You  can
       refer to a software package by its name or its full_name surrounded by quotes.

       NOTE:
          From  a  Linux  master it is OK to use single-quotes. However, the cmd shell on Windows
          requires you to use double-quotes  when  wrapping  strings  that  may  contain  spaces.
          Powershell seems to accept either one.

   Install a Package
       You can install a package using pkg.install:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.install 'firefox_x64'

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.install "firefox_x64"

       The above will install the latest version of Firefox.

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.install 'firefox_x64' version=74.0

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.install "firefox_x64" version=74.0

       The above will install version 74.0 of Firefox.

       If  a  different  version of the package is already installed it will be replaced with the
       version in the winrepo (only if the package itself supports live updating).

       You can also specify the full name:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.install 'Mozilla Firefox 17.0.1 (x86 en-US)'

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.install "Mozilla Firefox 17.0.1 (x86 en-US)"

   Remove a Package
       You can uninstall a package using pkg.remove:

          # From the master
          salt winminion pkg.remove firefox_x64

          # From the minion in masterless mode
          salt-call --local pkg.remove firefox_x64

   Software Definition Files
       A software definition file is a YAML/JINJA2 file that contains all the information  needed
       to  install  a  piece  of software using Salt. It defines information about the package to
       include version, full name, flags required for the installer and uninstaller,  whether  or
       not  to  use  the  Windows  task  scheduler  to install the package, where to download the
       installation package, etc.

   Directory Structure and Naming
       The files are stored in the location designated by the winrepo_dir_ng setting.  All  files
       in  this  directory  that  have  a  .sls file extension are considered software definition
       files. The files are evaluated to create the metadata file on the minion.

       You can maintain standalone software definition files that  point  to  software  on  other
       servers  or  on  the  internet.  In this case the file name would be the short name of the
       software with the .sls extension, ie firefox.sls.

       You can also store the binaries for your software together with their software  definition
       files in their own directory. In this scenario, the directory name would be the short name
       for the software and the software definition file would be inside that directory and named
       init.sls.

       Look  at  the  following  example  directory  structure on a Linux master assuming default
       config settings:

          srv/
          |---salt/
          |   |---win/
          |   |   |---repo-ng/
          |   |   |   |---custom_defs/
          |   |   |   |   |---ms_office_2013_x64/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---access.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---excel.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---outlook.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---powerpoint.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---word.en-us/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---init.sls
          |   |   |   |   |   |---setup.dll
          |   |   |   |   |   |---setup.exe
          |   |   |   |   |---openssl.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---zoom.sls
          |   |   |   |---salt-winrepo-ng/
          |   |   |   |   |---auditbeat/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---init.sls
          |   |   |   |   |   |---install.cmd
          |   |   |   |   |   |---install.ps1
          |   |   |   |   |   |---remove.cmd
          |   |   |   |   |---gpg4win/
          |   |   |   |   |   |---init.sls
          |   |   |   |   |   |---silent.ini
          |   |   |   |   |---7zip.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---adobereader.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---audacity.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---ccleaner.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---chrome.sls
          |   |   |   |   |---firefox.sls

       In the above directory structure, the user has created the custom_defs directory in  which
       to store their custom software definition files. In that directory you see a folder for MS
       Office 2013 that contains all the installer files along with a  software  definition  file
       named  init.sls.  The user has also created two more standalone software definition files;
       openssl.sls and zoom.sls.

       The salt-winrepo-ng directory is created by  the  winrepo.update_git_repos  command.  This
       folder  contains  the  clone  of  the git repo designated by the winrepo_remotes_ng config
       setting.

       WARNING:
          It is recommended that the user not modify the files in the  salt-winrepo-ng  directory
          as it will break future runs of winrepo.update_git_repos.

       WARNING:
          It  is  recommended that the user not place any custom software definition files in the
          salt-winrepo-ng directory. The winrepo.update_git_repos command wipes out the  contents
          of the salt-winrepo-ng directory each time it is run. Any extra files stored there will
          be lost.

   Writing Software Definition Files
       A basic software definition file is really easy to write if you already  know  some  basic
       things about your software:

       • The full name as shown in Add/Remove Programs

       • The exact version number as shown in Add/Remove Programs

       • How to install your software silently from the command line

       The  software  definition  file  itself is just a data structure written in YAML.  The top
       level item is a short name that Salt will use to reference the  software.   There  can  be
       only one short name in the file and it must be unique across all software definition files
       in the repo. This is the name that will be used to install/remove the software. It is also
       the name that will appear when Salt finds a match in the repo when running pkg.list_pkgs.

       The  next  indentation  level  is the version number. There can be many of these, but they
       must be unique within the file. This is also displayed in pkg.list_pkgs.

       The last indentation level contains the information Salt needs  to  actually  install  the
       software. Available parameters are:

       • full_name : The full name as displayed in Add/Remove Programs

       • installer : The location of the installer binary

       • install_flags : The flags required to install silently

       • uninstaller : The location of the uninstaller binary

       • uninstall_flags : The flags required to uninstall silently

       • msiexec : Use msiexec to install this package

       • allusers : If this is an MSI, install to all users

       • cache_dir : Cache the entire directory in the installer URL (salt://)

       • cache_file : Cache a single file in the installer URL (salt://)

       • use_scheduler : Launch the installer using the task scheduler

       • source_hash : The hash sum for the installer

       Usage  of these parameters is demonstrated in the following examples and discussed in more
       detail below. To understand these examples you'll need a basic understanding of Jinja. The
       following links have some basic tips and best practices for working with Jinja in Salt:

       Understanding Jinja

       Jinja

   Example: Basic
       Take a look at this basic, pure YAML example for a software definition file for Firefox:

          firefox_x64:
            '74.0':
              full_name: Mozilla Firefox 74.0 (x64 en-US)
              installer: 'https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/74.0/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2074.0.exe'
              install_flags: '/S'
              uninstaller: '%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Mozilla Firefox/uninstall/helper.exe'
              uninstall_flags: '/S'
            '73.0.1':
              full_name: Mozilla Firefox 73.0.1 (x64 en-US)
              installer: 'https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/73.0.1/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2073.0.1.exe'
              install_flags: '/S'
              uninstaller: '%ProgramFiles(x86)%/Mozilla Firefox/uninstall/helper.exe'
              uninstall_flags: '/S'

       You  can  see the first item is the short name for the software, in this case firefox_x64.
       It is the first line in the definition. The next line is indented two spaces and  contains
       the  software  version.  The  lines following the version are indented two more spaces and
       contain all the information needed to install the Firefox package.

       IMPORTANT:
          The package name must be unique to all other packages in the software  repository.  The
          full_name  combined with the version must also be unique.  They must also match exactly
          what is shown in Add/Remove Programs (appwiz.cpl).

       IMPORTANT:
          The version number must be enclosed in quotes, otherwise the YAML  parser  will  remove
          trailing zeros. For example, 74.0 will just become 74.

       As  you  can  see  in  the  example  above, a software definition file can define multiple
       versions for the same piece of software. These are denoted by  putting  the  next  version
       number at the same indentation level as the first with its software definition information
       indented below it.

   Example: Jinja
       When there are tens or hundreds of versions available for a piece of  software  definition
       file  can  become quite large. This is a scenario where Jinja can be helpful. Consider the
       following software definition file for Firefox using Jinja:

          {%- set lang = salt['config.get']('firefox:pkg:lang', 'en-US') %}

          firefox_x64:
            {% for version in ['74.0',
                               '73.0.1', '73.0',
                               '72.0.2', '72.0.1', '72.0',
                               '71.0', '70.0.1', '70.0',
                               '69.0.3', '69.0.2', '69.0.1'] %}
            '{{ version }}':
              full_name: 'Mozilla Firefox {{ version }} (x64 {{ lang }})'
              installer: 'https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/{{ version }}/win64/{{ lang }}/Firefox%20Setup%20{{ version }}.exe'
              install_flags: '/S'
              uninstaller: '%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe'
              uninstall_flags: '/S'
            {% endfor %}

       In this example we are able to generate a software definition file  that  defines  how  to
       install  12 versions of Firefox. We use Jinja to create a list of available versions. That
       list is in a for loop where each version is placed in the version variable. The version is
       inserted everywhere there is a {{ version }} marker inside the for loop.

       You'll  notice  that  there is a single variable (lang) defined at the top of the software
       definition. Because these files are going through the Salt renderer many Salt modules  are
       exposed  via the salt keyword. In this case it is calling the config.get function to get a
       language setting that can be placed in the minion config. If it is not there, it  defaults
       to en-US.

   Example: Latest
       There  are  some  software  vendors  that  do  not provide access to all versions of their
       software. Instead they provide a single URL to what is always the latest version. In  some
       cases  the  software keeps itself up to date. One example of this is the Google Chrome web
       browser.

       Chrome

       To handle situations such as these, set the version to latest. Here's an example:

          chrome:
            latest:
              full_name: 'Google Chrome'
              installer: 'https://dl.google.com/edgedl/chrome/install/GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi'
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: 'https://dl.google.com/edgedl/chrome/install/GoogleChromeStandaloneEnterprise.msi'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True

       The above example shows us two things. First it demonstrates the usage of  latest  as  the
       version.  In  this case Salt will install the version of Chrome at the URL and report that
       version.

       The second thing to note is that this is installing software using an  MSI.  You  can  see
       that msiexec is set to True.

   Example: MSI Patch
       When  the  msiexec  parameter is set to True it uses the /i option for installs and the /x
       option for uninstalls. This is problematic when trying  to  install  an  MSI  patch  which
       requires  the  /p  option.  You can't combine the /i and /p options. So how do you apply a
       patch to installed software in winrepo using an .msp file?

       One wiley contributor came up with the following solution to this  problem  by  using  the
       %cd% environment variable. Consider the following software definition file:

          MyApp:
            '1.0':
              full_name: MyApp
              installer: 'salt://win/repo-ng/MyApp/MyApp.1.0.msi'
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: '{B5B5868F-23BA-297A-917D-0DF345TF5764}'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True
            '1.1':
              full_name: MyApp
              installer: 'salt://win/repo-ng/MyApp/MyApp.1.0.msi'
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart /update "%cd%\\MyApp.1.1.msp" '
              uninstaller: '{B5B5868F-23BA-297A-917D-0DF345TF5764}'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True
              cache_file: salt://win/repo/MyApp/MyApp.1.1.msp

       There are a few things to note about this software definition file. First, is the solution
       we are trying to  solve,  that  of  applying  a  patch.  Version  1.0  just  installs  the
       application using the 1.0 MSI defined in the installer parameter. There is nothing special
       in the install_flags and nothing is cached.

       Version 1.1 uses the same installer, but uses the cache_file option to  specify  a  single
       file to cache. In order for this to work the MSP file needs to be in the same directory as
       the MSI file on the file_roots.

       The final step to getting this to work is to  add  the  additional  /update  flag  to  the
       install_flags parameter. Add the path to the MSP file using the %cd% environment variable.
       %cd% resolves to the current working directory which is the location in the  minion  cache
       where the installer file is cached.

       See issue #32780 for more details.

       This  same  approach  could  be  used for applying MST files for MSIs and answer files for
       other types of .exe based installers.

   Parameters
       These are the parameters that can be used to generate a software  definition  file.  These
       parameters are all placed under the version in the software definition file:

       Example usage can be found on the github repo

   full_name (str)
       This  is the full name for the software as shown in "Programs and Features" in the control
       panel. You can also get this information by  installing  the  package  manually  and  then
       running pkg.list_pkgs. Here's an example of the output from pkg.list_pkgs:

          salt 'test-2008' pkg.list_pkgs
          test-2008
              ----------
              7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition):
                  9.20.00.0
              Mozilla Firefox 74.0 (x64 en-US)
                  74.0
              Mozilla Maintenance Service:
                  74.0
              salt-minion-py3:
                  3001

       Notice  the  Full  Name for Firefox: Mozilla Firefox 74.0 (x64 en-US). That's exactly what
       should be in the full_name parameter in the software definition file.

       If any of the software installed on the machine matches the full name defined  in  one  of
       the  software  definition  files  in the repository the package name will be returned. The
       example below shows the  pkg.list_pkgs  for  a  machine  that  has  Mozilla  Firefox  74.0
       installed and a software definition for that version of Firefox.

          test-2008:
              ----------
              7zip:
                  9.20.00.0
              Mozilla Maintenance Service:
                  74.0
              firefox_x64:
                  74.0
              salt-minion-py3:
                  3001

       IMPORTANT:
          The version number and full_name need to match the output from pkg.list_pkgs exactly so
          that the installation status can be verified by the state system.

       NOTE:
          It is still possible to successfully install packages using pkg.install,  even  if  the
          full_name  or  the  version  number  don't  match  exactly.  The  module  will complete
          successfully, but continue to display the  full  name  in  pkg.list_pkgs.  If  this  is
          happening, verify that the full_name and the version match exactly what is displayed in
          Add/Remove Programs.

       TIP:
          To force Salt to display the  full  name  when  there's  already  an  existing  package
          definition  file  on  the system, you can pass a bogus saltenv parameter to the command
          like so: pkg.list_pkgs saltenv=NotARealEnv

       TIP:
          It's important use pkg.refresh_db to check for errors and  ensure  the  latest  package
          definition is on any minion you're testing new definitions on.

   installer (str)
       This  is  the path to the binary (.exe, .msi) that will install the package. This can be a
       local path or a URL. If it is a URL or a Salt path (salt://), the package will  be  cached
       locally  and  then executed. If it is a path to a file on disk or a file share, it will be
       executed directly.

       NOTE:
          When storing software in the same location as the winrepo it is usually  best  practice
          to place each installer in its own directory rather than in the root of winrepo.

          Best  practice  is  to  create  a  sub folder named after the package. That folder will
          contain the software definition file named init.sls. The  binary  installer  should  be
          stored in that directory as well if you're hosting those files on the file_roots.

          pkg.refresh_db will process all .sls files in all sub directories in the winrepo_dir_ng
          directory.

   install_flags (str)
       This setting contains any flags that need to be passed to the installer to make it perform
       a  silent  install. These can often be found by adding /? or /h when running the installer
       from the command-line. A great resource for finding these silent install flags is the WPKG
       project wiki:

       WARNING:
          Salt  will appear to hang if the installer is expecting user input. So it is imperative
          that the software have the ability to install silently.

   uninstaller (str)
       This is the path to the program used to uninstall this software. This can be the  path  to
       the  same  exe  or  msi used to install the software. Exe uninstallers are pretty straight
       forward. MSIs, on the other hand, can be handled a couple different ways. You can use  the
       GUID  for  the  software  to  uninstall  or  you  can use the same MSI used to install the
       software.

       You can usually find uninstall information in the registry:

       • Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

       • Software\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

       Here's an example using the GUID to uninstall software.

          7zip:
            '9.20.00.0':
              full_name: 7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)
              installer: salt://win/repo-ng/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: '{23170F69-40C1-2702-0920-000001000000}'
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True

       Here's an example using the same MSI used to install the software:

          7zip:
            '9.20.00.0':
              full_name: 7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)
              installer: salt://win/repo-ng/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: salt://win/repo-ng/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: True

   uninstall_flags (str)
       This setting contains any flags that need to be passed  to  the  uninstaller  to  make  it
       perform  a  silent uninstall. These can often be found by adding /? or /h when running the
       uninstaller from the command-line. A great resource for finding these silent install flags
       the WPKG project wiki:

       WARNING:
          Salt  will  appear  to  hang  if  the  uninstaller  is  expecting  user input. So it is
          imperative that the software have the ability to uninstall silently.

   msiexec (bool, str)
       This tells Salt to use msiexec /i to install the package and msiexec /x to uninstall. This
       is for .msi installations only.

       Possible options are:

       • True

       • False (default)

       • the path to msiexec.exe on your system

          7zip:
            '9.20.00.0':
              full_name: 7-Zip 9.20 (x64 edition)
              installer: salt://win/repo/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              install_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              uninstaller: salt://win/repo/7zip/7z920-x64.msi
              uninstall_flags: '/qn /norestart'
              msiexec: 'C:\Windows\System32\msiexec.exe'

   allusers (bool)
       This parameter is specific to .msi installations. It tells msiexec to install the software
       for all users. The default is True.

   cache_dir (bool)
       This setting requires the software to be stored on the file_roots and only applies to URLs
       that  begin with salt://. If True the entire directory where the installer resides will be
       recursively cached. This is useful for installers that depend on other files in  the  same
       directory for installation.

       WARNING:
          Be aware that all files and directories in the same location as the installer file will
          be copied down to the minion. If you place your software definition file in the root of
          winrepo  (/srv/salt/win/repo-ng) and it contains cache_dir: True the entire contents of
          winrepo will be cached to the minion. Therefore, it is  best  practice  to  place  your
          installer files in a subdirectory if they are to be stored in winrepo.

       Here's an example using cache_dir:

          sqlexpress:
            '12.0.2000.8':
              full_name: Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Setup (English)
              installer: 'salt://win/repo/sqlexpress/setup.exe'
              install_flags: '/ACTION=install /IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS /Q'
              cache_dir: True

   cache_file (str)
       This  setting  requires  the  file to be stored on the file_roots and only applies to URLs
       that begin with salt://. It indicates a  single  file  to  copy  down  for  use  with  the
       installer.  It is copied to the same location as the installer. Use this over cache_dir if
       there are many files in the directory and you only need a specific file and don't want  to
       cache additional files that may reside in the installer directory.

   use_scheduler (bool)
       If  set  to True, Windows will use the task scheduler to run the installation.  A one-time
       task will be created in the task scheduler and launched. The return to the minion will  be
       that the task was launched successfully, not that the software was installed successfully.

       NOTE:
          This  is  used  by  the  software  definition for Salt itself. The first thing the Salt
          installer does is kill the Salt service, which then kills all child processes.  If  the
          Salt  installer  is launched via Salt, then the installer itself is killed leaving Salt
          on the machine but not running. Use of the task scheduler allows an external process to
          launch  the  Salt  installation so its processes aren't killed when the Salt service is
          stopped.

   source_hash (str)
       This tells Salt to compare a hash sum of the installer to the  provided  hash  sum  before
       execution.  The  value can be formatted as <hash_algorithm>=<hash_sum>, or it can be a URI
       to a file containing the hash sum.

       For a list of supported algorithms, see the hashlib documentation.

       Here's an example using source_hash:

          messageanalyzer:
            '4.0.7551.0':
              full_name: 'Microsoft Message Analyzer'
              installer: 'salt://win/repo/messageanalyzer/MessageAnalyzer64.msi'
              install_flags: '/quiet /norestart'
              uninstaller: '{1CC02C23-8FCD-487E-860C-311EC0A0C933}'
              uninstall_flags: '/quiet /norestart'
              msiexec: True
              source_hash: 'sha1=62875ff451f13b10a8ff988f2943e76a4735d3d4'

   Not Implemented
       The following parameters are often seen in the software definition files hosted on the Git
       repo. However, they are not implemented and have no effect on the installation process.

       param bool reboot
              Not implemented

       param str locale
              Not implemented

   Managing Windows Software on a Standalone Windows Minion
       The  Windows  Software  Repository functions similarly in a standalone environment, with a
       few differences in the configuration.

       To replace the winrepo runner that is used on the Salt master, an execution module  exists
       to  provide the same functionality to standalone minions. The functions are named the same
       as the ones in the runner, and are used in the same  way;  the  only  difference  is  that
       salt-call is used instead of salt-run:

          salt-call winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt-call pkg.refresh_db

       After executing the previous commands the repository on the standalone system is ready for
       use.

   Troubleshooting
   My software installs correctly but pkg.installed says it failed
       If you have a package that seems to install properly, but Salt reports a failure  then  it
       is likely you have a version or full_name mismatch.

       Check  the  exact  full_name and version as shown in Add/Remove Programs (appwiz.cpl). Use
       pkg.list_pkgs to check that the full_name and version exactly  match  what  is  installed.
       Make  sure  the  software  definition  file has the exact value for full_name and that the
       version matches exactly.

       Also, make sure the version is wrapped in single quotes in the software definition file.

   Changes to sls files not being picked up
       You may have recently updated some of the software definition files on the  repo.   Ensure
       you have refreshed the database on the minion.

          salt winminion pkg.refresh_db

   How Success and Failure are Reported by pkg.installed
       The install state/module function of the Windows package manager works roughly as follows:

       1. Execute pkg.list_pkgs to get a list of software currently on the machine

       2. Compare the requested version with the installed version

       3. If versions are the same, report no changes needed

       4. Install the software as described in the software definition file

       5. Execute pkg.list_pkgs to get a new list of software currently on the machine

       6. Compare the requested version with the new installed version

       7. If versions are the same, report success

       8. If versions are different, report failure

   Winrepo Upgrade Issues
       To  minimize  potential  issues,  it is a good idea to remove any winrepo git repositories
       that were checked out by the legacy (pre-2015.8.0) winrepo code when upgrading the  master
       to  2015.8.0 or later. Run winrepo.update_git_repos to clone them anew after the master is
       started.

   pygit2/GitPython Support for Maintaining Git Repos
       The winrepo.update_git_repos runner now makes use of the same underlying code used by  the
       Git  Fileserver Backend and Git External Pillar to maintain and update its local clones of
       git repositories. If a compatible version of either pygit2 (0.20.3 and later) or GitPython
       (0.3.0  or  later) is installed, Salt will use it instead of the old method (which invokes
       the git.latest state).

       NOTE:
          If compatible versions of both pygit2 and  GitPython  are  installed,  then  Salt  will
          prefer  pygit2.  To  override  this  behavior  use  the  winrepo_provider configuration
          parameter:

              winrepo_provider: gitpython

          The winrepo execution module (discussed above in the Managing  Windows  Software  on  a
          Standalone  Windows  Minion  section)  does not yet officially support the new pygit2/‐
          GitPython functionality, but if either pygit2 or GitPython  is  installed  into  Salt's
          bundled  Python  then  it should work. However, it should be considered experimental at
          this time.

   Accessing Authenticated Git Repos (pygit2)
       Support for pygit2 added the ability to access authenticated git repositories and  to  set
       per-remote config settings. An example of this would be the following:

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo.git
            - git@github.com:myuser/myrepo.git:
              - pubkey: /path/to/key.pub
              - privkey: /path/to/key
              - passphrase: myaw3s0m3pa$$phr4$3
            - https://github.com/myuser/privaterepo.git:
              - user: mygithubuser
              - password: CorrectHorseBatteryStaple

       NOTE:
          Per-remote  configuration  settings  work in the same fashion as they do in gitfs, with
          global parameters being overridden by  their  per-remote  counterparts.  For  instance,
          setting  winrepo_passphrase  would set a global passphrase for winrepo that would apply
          to all SSH-based remotes, unless overridden by a passphrase per-remote parameter.

          See here for more a more in-depth explanation of how per-remote configuration works  in
          gitfs. The same principles apply to winrepo.

   Maintaining Git Repos
       A clean argument has been added to the winrepo.update_git_repos runner. When clean is True
       it will tell the runner to dispose of directories under the  winrepo_dir_ng/winrepo_dir_ng
       which  are  not  explicitly  configured.  This  prevents the need to manually remove these
       directories when a repo is removed from the config file. To clean these  old  directories,
       just pass clean=True:

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos clean=True

       If a mix of git and non-git Windows Repo definition files are being used, then this should
       not be used, as it will remove the directories containing non-git definitions.

   Name Collisions Between Repos
       Collisions between repo names are now detected. The winrepo.update_git_repos  runner  will
       not proceed if any are detected. Consider the following configuration:

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://foo.com/bar/baz.git
            - https://mydomain.tld/baz.git
            - https://github.com/foobar/baz

       The  winrepo.update_git_repos  runner  will  refuse  to update repos here, as all three of
       these repos would be checked out to the same directory. To work around this, a  per-remote
       parameter called name can be used to resolve these conflicts:

          winrepo_remotes:
            - https://foo.com/bar/baz.git
            - https://mydomain.tld/baz.git:
              - name: baz_junior
            - https://github.com/foobar/baz:
              - name: baz_the_third

   Legacy Minions
       The  Windows  Package  Manager  was  upgraded  with  breaking  changes  starting with Salt
       2015.8.0. To maintain backwards compatibility Salt continues to support older minions.

       The breaking change was to generate the winrepo database on  the  minion  instead  of  the
       master. This allowed for the use of Jinja in the software definition files. It enabled the
       use of pillar, grains, execution modules, etc. during compile time. To  support  this  new
       functionality, a next-generation (ng) repo was created.

       See the Changes in Version 2015.8.0 for details.

       On  prior  versions  of Salt, or legacy minions, the winrepo database was generated on the
       master and pushed down to the minions. Any grains exposed at compile time would have  been
       those of the master and not the minion.

       The repository for legacy minions is named salt-winrepo and is located at:

       • https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo

   Legacy Configuration
       Winrepo  settings  were  changed  with  the  introduction  of  the Next Generation (ng) of
       winrepo.

   Legacy Master Config Options
       There were three options available for a  legacy  master  to  configure  winrepo.   Unless
       you're running a legacy master as well, you shouldn't need to configure any of these.

       • win_gitreposwin_repowin_repo_mastercachefile

       win_gitrepos: (list)

       A list of URLs to github repos. Default is a list with a single URL:

       • 'https://github.com/saltstack/salt-winrepo.git'

       win_repo: (str)

       The location on the master to store the winrepo. The default is /srv/salt/win/repo.

       win_repo_mastercachefile:  (str)  The  location  on  the  master  to  generate the winrepo
       database file. The default is /srv/salt/win/repo/winrep.p

   Legacy Minion Config Options
       There is only one option available to configure a legacy minion for winrepo.

       • win_repo_cachefile

       win_repo_cachefile: (str)

       The location on the Salt file server to obtain the winrepo database file. The  default  is
       salt://win/repo/winrepo.p

       NOTE:
          If the location of the winrepo.p file is not in the default location on the master, the
          win_repo_cachefile setting will need to be updated to reflect the  proper  location  on
          each minion.

   Legacy Quick Start
       You  can get up and running with winrepo pretty quickly just using the defaults.  Assuming
       no changes to the default configuration (ie, file_roots) run the following commands on the
       master:

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos
          salt-run winrepo.genrepo
          salt * pkg.refresh_db
          salt * pkg.install firefox

       These commands clone the default winrepo from github, generate the metadata file, push the
       metadata file down to the legacy minion, and install the latest version of Firefox.

   Legacy Initialization
       Initializing the winrepo for a legacy minion is similar to that for a newer minion.  There
       is  an  added  step in that the metadata file needs to be generated on the master prior to
       refreshing the database on the minion.

   Populate the Local Repository
       The SLS files used to install Windows packages are not distributed by default  with  Salt.
       So,  the  first  step is to clone the repo to the master. Use the winrepo.update_git_repos
       runner initialize the repository in the location specified by winrepo_dir  in  the  master
       config. This will pull the software definition files down from the git repository.

          salt-run winrepo.update_git_repos

   Generate the Metadata File
       The  next step is to create the metadata file for the repo (winrepo.p).  The metadata file
       is generated on the master using the winrepo.genrepo runner.

          salt-run winrepo.genrepo

       NOTE:
          You only need to do this if you need to support legacy minions.

   Update the Minion Database
       Run pkg.refresh_db on each of your Windows minions to copy the metadata file down  to  the
       minion.

          # From the master
          salt -G 'os:windows' pkg.refresh_db

   Changes in Version 2015.8.0+
       Git repository management for the Windows Software Repository changed in version 2015.8.0,
       and several master/minion config parameters were renamed for consistency.

       For a complete list of the new winrepo config options, see here for master config options,
       and here for configuration options for masterless Windows minions.

   pygit2/GitPython Support
       On  the  master,  the  winrepo.update_git_repos runner was updated to use either pygit2 or
       GitPython to checkout the git repositories containing repo data. If pygit2 or GitPython is
       installed,  existing  winrepo git checkouts should be removed after upgrading to 2015.8.0.
       Then they should be cloned again by running winrepo.update_git_repos.

       If neither GitPython nor pygit2  are  installed,  Salt  will  fall  back  to  pre-existing
       behavior for winrepo.update_git_repos, and a warning will be logged in the master log.

       NOTE:
          Standalone  Windows  minions do not support the new GitPython/pygit2 functionality, and
          will instead use the git.latest state to keep repositories up-to-date. More information
          on how to use the Windows Software Repo on a standalone minion can be found here.

   Config Parameters Renamed
       Many  of  the  legacy winrepo configuration parameters changed in version 2015.8.0 to make
       them more consistent. Below are the parameters which changed for version 2015.8.0:

          working with the next generation repo.

   Windows-specific Behaviour
       Salt is capable of managing Windows systems, however due to  various  differences  between
       the operating systems, there are some things you need to keep in mind.

       This  document will contain any quirks that apply across Salt or generally across multiple
       module functions. Any Windows-specific behavior for particular module  functions  will  be
       documented in the module function documentation. Therefore this document should be read in
       conjunction with the module function documentation.

   Group parameter for files
       Salt was originally written for managing Unix-based systems, and therefore the file module
       functions  were  designed  around that security model. Rather than trying to shoehorn that
       model on to Windows,  Salt  ignores  these  parameters  and  makes  non-applicable  module
       functions unavailable instead.

       One  of  the  commonly ignored parameters is the group parameter for managing files. Under
       Windows, while files do have  a  'primary  group'  property,  this  is  rarely  used.   It
       generally  has  no  bearing  on  permissions  unless  intentionally configured and is most
       commonly used to provide Unix compatibility (e.g.  Services For Unix, NFS services).

       Because of this, any file module functions that typically require a group,  do  not  under
       Windows.  Attempts  to  directly use file module functions that operate on the group (e.g.
       file.chgrp) will return a pseudo-value and  cause  a  log  message  to  appear.  No  group
       parameters will be acted on.

       If  you  do  want  to  access  and  change the 'primary group' property and understand the
       implications, use the file.get_pgid or file.get_pgroup functions or the  pgroup  parameter
       on the file.chown module function.

   Dealing with case-insensitive but case-preserving names
       Windows  is  case-insensitive,  but  however  preserves  the  case of names and it is this
       preserved form that is returned from system functions. This causes some issues  with  Salt
       because  it  assumes  case-sensitive  names.  These  issues  generally  occur in the state
       functions and can cause bizarre looking errors.

       To avoid such issues, always pretend Windows is case-sensitive and use the right case  for
       names, e.g. specify user=Administrator instead of user=administrator.

       Follow issue #11801 for any changes to this behavior.

   Dealing with various username forms
       Salt  does  not  understand  the  various  forms  that Windows usernames can come in, e.g.
       username, mydomain\username, username@mydomain.tld can all refer  to  the  same  user.  In
       fact, Salt generally only considers the raw username value, i.e.  the username without the
       domain or host information.

       Using these alternative forms will likely confuse Salt and cause odd errors to happen. Use
       only the raw username value in the correct case to avoid problems.

       Follow issue #11801 for any changes to this behavior.

   Specifying the None group
       Each  Windows  system  has  built-in _None_ group. This is the default 'primary group' for
       files for users not on a domain environment.

       Unfortunately, the word _None_ has special meaning in Python  -  it  is  a  special  value
       indicating 'nothing', similar to null or nil in other languages.

       To  specify  the  None group, it must be specified in quotes, e.g.  ./salt '*' file.chpgrp
       C:\path\to\file "'None'".

   Symbolic link loops
       Under Windows, if any symbolic link loops are detected or if there are too many levels  of
       symlinks (defaults to 64), an error is always raised.

       For  some  functions,  this  behavior  is  different to the behavior on Unix platforms. In
       general, avoid symlink loops on either platform.

DEVELOPING SALT

   Overview
       In its most typical use, Salt is a software application in which clients, called "minions"
       can be commanded and controlled from a central command server called a "master".

       Commands  are  normally  issued to the minions (via the master) by calling a client script
       simply called, 'salt'.

       Salt features a pluggable transport system to issue commands from a master to minions. The
       default transport is ZeroMQ.

   Salt Client
   Overview
       The  salt  client  is run on the same machine as the Salt Master and communicates with the
       salt-master to issue commands and to receive the results and display them to the user.

       The primary abstraction for the salt client is called 'LocalClient'.

       When LocalClient wants to publish a command to minions,  it  connects  to  the  master  by
       issuing a request to the master's ReqServer (TCP: 4506)

       The  LocalClient  system  listens to responses for its requests by listening to the master
       event bus publisher (master_event_pub.ipc).

   Salt Master
   Overview
       The salt-master daemon runs on the designated Salt master and performs functions  such  as
       authenticating minions, sending, and receiving requests from connected minions and sending
       and receiving requests and replies to the 'salt' CLI.

   Moving Pieces
       When a Salt master starts up, a number of processes are started, all of which  are  called
       'salt-master' in a process-list but have various role categories.

       Among those categories are:

          • Publisher

          • EventPublisher

          • MWorker

   Publisher
       The Publisher process is responsible for sending commands over the designated transport to
       connected minions. The Publisher is bound to the following:

          • TCP: port 4505

          • IPC: publish_pull.ipc

       Each salt minion establishes a connection to the master Publisher.

   EventPublisher
       The EventPublisher publishes master events out to any event listeners. It is bound to  the
       following:

          • IPC: master_event_pull.ipc

          • IPC: master_event_pub.ipc

   MWorker
       Worker processes manage the back-end operations for the Salt Master.

       The  number  of  workers  is equivalent to the number of 'worker_threads' specified in the
       master configuration and is always at least one.

       Workers are bound to the following:

          • IPC: workers.ipc

   ReqServer
       The Salt request server takes requests and distributes them to available MWorker processes
       for processing. It also receives replies back from minions.

       The ReqServer is bound to the following:

              • TCP: 4506

              • IPC: workers.ipc

       Each salt minion establishes a connection to the master ReqServer.

   Job Flow
       The  Salt  master  works  by  always  publishing commands to all connected minions and the
       minions decide if the command is meant for them by checking themselves against the command
       target.

       The  typical  lifecycle  of  a  salt  job  from  the perspective of the master might be as
       follows:

       1.  A command is issued on the CLI. For example, 'salt my_minion test.version'.

       2.  The 'salt' command uses LocalClient to generate  a  request  to  the  salt  master  by
           connecting to the ReqServer on TCP:4506 and issuing the job.

       3.  The  salt-master ReqServer sees the request and passes it to an available MWorker over
           workers.ipc.

       4.  A worker picks up the request and handles it. First, it  checks  to  ensure  that  the
           requested  user  has  permissions  to  issue  the  command. Then, it sends the publish
           command   to   all   connected   minions.   For   the   curious,   this   happens   in
           ClearFuncs.publish().

       5.  The  worker  announces  on  the  master event bus that it is about to publish a job to
           connected minions. This  happens  by  placing  the  event  on  the  master  event  bus
           (master_event_pull.ipc) where the EventPublisher picks it up and distributes it to all
           connected event listeners on master_event_pub.ipc.

       6.  The message to the minions  is  encrypted  and  sent  to  the  Publisher  via  IPC  on
           publish_pull.ipc.

       7.  Connected  minions  have a TCP session established with the Publisher on TCP port 4505
           where they await commands. When the Publisher receives the job over  publish_pull,  it
           sends the jobs across the wire to the minions for processing.

       8.  After the minions receive the request, they decrypt it and perform any requested work,
           if they determine that they are targeted to do so.

       9.  When the minion is ready to respond, it publishes the result of its job  back  to  the
           master  by  sending  the  encrypted  result back to the master on TCP 4506 where it is
           again picked up by the ReqServer and forwarded to an available MWorker for processing.
           (Again,  this  happens  by  passing  this  message  across workers.ipc to an available
           worker.)

       10. When the MWorker receives the job it decrypts it and fires an event  onto  the  master
           event   bus   (master_event_pull.ipc).   (Again  for  the  curious,  this  happens  in
           AESFuncs._return().

       11. The EventPublisher sees this event and re-publishes it on the  bus  to  all  connected
           listeners  of  the  master  event  bus  (on  master_event_pub.ipc).  This is where the
           LocalClient has been waiting, listening to  the  event  bus  for  minion  replies.  It
           gathers the job and stores the result.

       12. When  all  targeted  minions  have  replied or the timeout has been exceeded, the salt
           client displays the results of the job to the user on the CLI.

   Salt Minion
   Overview
       The salt-minion is a single process that sits on machines to be managed by  Salt.  It  can
       either  operate  as a stand-alone daemon which accepts commands locally via 'salt-call' or
       it can connect back to a master and receive commands remotely.

       When starting up, salt minions connect back to a master defined in the minion config file.
       They connect to two ports on the master:

          •

            TCP: 4505
                   This  is  the  connection to the master Publisher. It is on this port that the
                   minion receives jobs from the master.

          •

            TCP: 4506
                   This is the connection to the master ReqServer. It is on this  port  that  the
                   minion sends job results back to the master.

   Event System
       Similar  to  the  master, a salt-minion has its own event system that operates over IPC by
       default. The minion event system  operates  on  a  push/pull  system  with  IPC  files  at
       minion_event_<unique_id>_pub.ipc and minion_event_<unique_id>_pull.ipc.

       The astute reader might ask why have an event bus at all with a single-process daemon. The
       answer is that the salt-minion may fork other processes as required to do the work without
       blocking  the  main  salt-minion  process and this necessitates a mechanism by which those
       processes can communicate with each other. Secondarily, this provides a bus by  which  any
       user  with  sufficient permissions can read or write to the bus as a common interface with
       the salt minion.

   Minion Job Flow
       When a salt minion starts up, it attempts to connect to the Publisher and the ReqServer on
       the  salt  master.  It  then attempts to authenticate and once the minion has successfully
       authenticated, it simply listens for jobs.

       Jobs normally come either come from the 'salt-call' script run by a local user on the salt
       minion or they can come directly from a master.

       The job flow on a minion, coming from the master via a 'salt' command is as follows:

       1)  A  master publishes a job that is received by a minion as outlined by the master's job
       flow above.  2) The minion is polling its receive socket that's connected  to  the  master
       Publisher  (TCP  4505 on master). When it detects an incoming message, it picks it up from
       the socket and decrypts it.  3) A new minion process or thread  is  created  and  provided
       with  the  contents of the decrypted message. The _thread_return() method is provided with
       the contents of  the  received  message.   4)  The  new  minion  thread  is  created.  The
       _thread_return()  function  starts  up  and  actually  calls out to the requested function
       contained in the job.  5) The requested function runs and  returns  a  result.  [Still  in
       thread.]   6)  The  result  of  the  function  that's run is encrypted and returned to the
       master's ReqServer (TCP 4506 on master). [Still in thread.]  7) Thread exits. Because  the
       main  thread  was  only blocked for the time that it took to initialize the worker thread,
       many other requests could have been received and processed during this time.

   A Note on ClearFuncs vs. AESFuncs
       A common source of confusion is determining when messages are passed in the clear and when
       they are passed using encryption. There are two rules governing this behaviour:

       1) ClearFuncs is used for intra-master communication and during the initial authentication
       handshake between a minion and master during  the  key  exchange.   2)  AESFuncs  is  used
       everywhere else.

   Changelog
       With the addition of SEP 01 the keepachangelog format was introduced into our CHANGELOG.md
       file. The Salt project is using the towncrier tool to manage the  CHANGELOG.md  file.  The
       reason this tool was added to manage the changelog was because we were previously managing
       the file manually and it would cause many merge conflicts. This  tool  allows  us  to  add
       changelog entries into separate files and before a release we simply need to run towncrier
       --version=<version> for it to compile the changelog correctly.

   How do I add a changelog entry
       To add a changelog entry you will need to add a file in the changelog directory.  The file
       name should follow the syntax <issue #>.<type>. If it is a security fix then the following
       syntax will need to be used cve-<cve-number>.security.

       The types are in alignment with keepachangelog:

          removed:
                 any features that have been removed

          deprecated:
                 any features that will soon be removed

          changed:
                 any changes in current existing features

          fixed: any bug fixes

          added: any new features added

          security:
                 any fixes for a cve

       For example if you are fixing a bug for issue number #1234 your filename would  look  like
       this:  changelog/1234.fixed. The contents of the file should contain a summary of what you
       are fixing. If there is a legitimate reason to not include an issue number  with  a  given
       contribution you can add the PR number as the file name (<PR #>.<type>).

       For a security fix your filename would look like this: changelog/cve-2021-25283.security.

       If  your  PR does not align with any of the types, then you do not need to add a changelog
       entry.

   How to generate the changelog
       This step is only used when we need to generate the changelog right before releasing.  You
       should  NOT  run towncrier on your PR, unless you are preparing the final PR to update the
       changelog before a release.

       You can run the towncrier tool directly or you can use nox to help  run  the  command  and
       ensure towncrier is installed in a virtual environment. The instructions below will detail
       both approaches.

       If you want to see what output towncrier will produce before generating the change log you
       can run towncrier in draft mode:

          towncrier --draft --version=3001

          nox -e 'changelog(draft=True)' -- 3000.1

       Version  will  need  to  be set to whichever version we are about to release. Once you are
       confident the draft output looks correct you can now generate the changelog by running:

          towncrier --version=3001

          nox -e 'changelog(draft=False)' -- 3000.1

       After this is run towncrier will automatically remove  all  the  files  in  the  changelog
       directory.

   Contributing
       So  you  want  to  contribute  to the Salt project? Excellent! You can help in a number of
       ways:

       • Using Salt and opening well-written bug reports.

       • Joining a working group.

       • Answering questions on irc, the community Slack, the  salt-users  mailing  list,  Server
         Fault, or r/saltstack on Reddit.

       • Fixing bugs.

       • Enhancing the documentation.

       • Providing workarounds, patches, or other code without tests.

       • Telling other people about problems you solved using Salt.

       If you’d like to update docs or fix an issue, you’re going to need the Salt repo. The best
       way to contribute is using Git.

   Environment Setup
       To hack on Salt or the docs you’re going to need to set up your  development  environment.
       If  you  already  have  a  workflow  that  you’re  comfortable with, you can use that, but
       otherwise this is an opinionated guide for setting up your dev environment.  Follow  these
       steps  and  you’ll  end  out with a functioning dev environment and be able to submit your
       first PR.

       This guide assumes at least a passing familiarity with Git, a common version control  tool
       used  across  many open source projects, and is necessary for contributing to Salt. For an
       introduction to Git, watch Salt Docs Clinic - Git For the True Beginner.  Because  of  its
       widespread use, there are many resources for learning more about Git. One popular resource
       is the free online book Learn Git in a Month of Lunches.

   pyenv, Virtual Environments, and You
       We recommend pyenv, since it allows installing multiple different Python  versions,  which
       is important for testing Salt across all the versions of Python that we support.

   On Linux
       Install pyenv:

          git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv
          export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
          git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv.git $(pyenv root)/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv

   On Mac
       Install pyenv using brew:

          brew update
          brew install pyenv
          brew install pyenv-virtualenv

                                                  ----

       Now add pyenv to your .bashrc:

          echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
          pyenv init 2>> ~/.bashrc
          pyenv virtualenv-init 2>> ~/.bashrc

       For other shells, see the pyenv instructions.

       Go  ahead  and  restart  your  shell.  Now  you should be able to install a new version of
       Python:

          pyenv install 3.7.0

       If that fails, don’t panic! You’re probably just missing some  build  dependencies.  Check
       out pyenv common build problems.

       Now  that  you’ve  got  your  version  of  Python  installed, you can create a new virtual
       environment with this command:

          pyenv virtualenv 3.7.0 salt

       Then activate it:

          pyenv activate salt

       Sweet! Now you’re ready to clone Salt so you can start hacking away! If you get  stuck  at
       any  point,  check  out  the  resources  at the beginning of this guide. IRC and Slack are
       particularly helpful places to go.

   Get The Source!
       Salt uses the fork and clone workflow for Git contributions. See Using the Fork-and-Branch
       Git  Workflow  for  how to implement it. But if you just want to hurry and get started you
       can go ahead and follow these steps:

       Clones are so shallow. Well, this one is anyway:

          git clone --depth=1 --origin salt https://github.com/saltstack/salt.git

       This creates a shallow clone of Salt, which should be fast. Most of the  time  that’s  all
       you’ll  need,  and  you can start building out other commits as you go. If you really want
       all 108,300+ commits you can just run git fetch  --unshallow.  Then  go  make  a  sandwich
       because it’s gonna be a while.

       You’re  also  going  to want to head over to GitHub and create your own fork of Salt. Once
       you’ve got that set up you can add it as a remote:

          git remote add yourname <YOUR SALT REMOTE>

       If you use your name to refer to your fork, and salt to refer to the  official  Salt  repo
       you’ll never get upstream or origin confused.

       NOTE:
          Each  time  you start work on a new issue you should fetch the most recent changes from
          salt/upstream.

   pre-commit and nox Setup
       Here at Salt we use pre-commit and nox to make it easier for  contributors  to  get  quick
       feedback, for quality control, and to increase the chance that your merge request will get
       reviewed and merged. Nox enables us to run multiple different test configurations, as well
       as other common tasks. You can think of it as Make with superpowers.  Pre-commit does what
       it sounds like: it configures some Git pre-commit hooks to run black for formatting, isort
       for  keeping  our  imports  sorted,  and pylint to catch issues like unused imports, among
       others. You can easily install them in your virtualenv with:

          python -m pip install pre-commit nox
          pre-commit install

       WARNING:
          Currently there is an issue with the pip-tools-compile pre-commit hook on Windows.  The
          details         around        this        issue        are        included        here:
          https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/56642.     Please    ensure     you     export
          SKIP=pip-tools-compile to skip pip-tools-compile.

       Now before each commit, it will ensure that your code at least looks right before you open
       a pull request. And with that step, it’s time to start hacking on Salt!

   imagemagick Setup
       One last prerequisite is to have imagemagick installed, as it is required  by  Sphinx  for
       generating the HTML documentation.

          # On Mac, via homebrew
          brew install imagemagick

          # Example Linux installation: Debian-based
          sudo apt install imagemagick

   Salt Issues
   Create Your Own
       Perhaps  you’ve  come  to  this  guide  because  you  found  a problem in Salt, and you’ve
       diagnosed the cause. Maybe you need some help figuring  out  the  problem.  In  any  case,
       creating  quality  bug  reports  is a great way to contribute to Salt even if you lack the
       skills, time, or inclination to fix it yourself. If that’s  the  case,  head  on  over  to
       Salt’s issue tracker on GitHub.

       Creating  a  good  report  can  take a little bit of time - but every minute you invest in
       making it easier for others to reproduce and understand your issue is time well spent. The
       faster  someone  can  understand  your  issue,  the  faster  it  will be able to get fixed
       correctly.

       The thing that every issue needs goes by many names, but one at least as good as any other
       is MCVE - Minimum Complete Verifiable Example.

       In a nutshell:

       • Minimum:  All  of  the  extra  information  has  been  removed.  Will  2  or  3 lines of
         master/minion config still exhibit the behavior?

       • Complete: Minimum also means complete. If your example is missing information, then it’s
         not  complete.  Salt, Python, and OS versions are all bits of information that make your
         example complete. Have you provided the commands that you ran?

       • Verifiable: Can someone take your report and reproduce it?

       Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast - it may feel like you’re taking a long time to  create
       your issue if you’re creating a proper MCVE, but a MCVE eliminates back and forth required
       to reproduce/verify the issue so someone can actually create a fix.

   Pick An Issue
       If you don’t already have an issue in mind, you can search for help wanted issues. If  you
       also search for good first issue then you should be able to find some issues that are good
       for getting started contributing to Salt.  Documentation  issues  are  also  good  starter
       issues.  When  you  find  an issue that catches your eye (or one of your own), it’s a good
       idea to comment on the issue and mention that you’re working on it. Good communication  is
       key  to  collaboration  -  so  if  you don’t have time to complete work on the issue, just
       leaving some information about when you expect to pick things up again is a great idea!

   Hacking Away
   Salt, Tests, Documentation, and You
       Before approving code contributions, Salt requires:

       • documentation

       • meaningful passing tests

       • correct code

       Documentation fixes just require correct documentation.

   What If I Don’t Write Tests or Docs?
       If you aren’t into writing documentation or tests, we still  welcome  your  contributions!
       But  your PR will be labeled Needs Testcase and Help Wanted until someone can get to write
       the tests/documentation.  Of course, if you have a desire but just lack the skill  we  are
       more  than  happy to collaborate and help out! There’s the documentation working group and
       the testing working group.  We also regularly stream our test clinic live on Twitch  every
       Tuesday  afternoon  and  Thursday  morning, Central Time. If you’d like specific help with
       tests, bring them to the clinic. If no community members need  help,  you  can  also  just
       watch tests written in real time.

   Documentation
       Salt uses both docstrings, as well as normal reStructuredText files in the salt/doc folder
       for documentation. Sphinx is used to generate the documentation, and does require  setting
       up  imagemagick  on  your  OS.  Since we use nox, you can build your docs and view them in
       your browser with this one-liner:

          python -m nox -e 'docs-html(compress=False, clean=False)'; cd doc/_build/html; python -m webbrowser http://localhost:8000/contents.html; python -m http.server

       The first time this will take a while because there are a lot of modules. Maybe you should
       go  grab  some  dessert  if  you  already  finished that sandwich. But once Sphinx is done
       building  the  docs,  python  should  launch   your   default   browser   with   the   URL
       http://localhost:8000/contents.html.  Now  you  can  navigate to your docs and ensure your
       changes exist. If you make changes, you can simply run this:

          cd -; python -m nox -e 'docs-html(compress=False, clean=False)'; cd doc/_build/html; python -m http.server

       And then refresh your browser to get your updated docs. This one should  be  quite  a  bit
       faster since Sphinx won’t need to rebuild everything.

       If  your change is a docs-only change, you can go ahead and commit/push your code and open
       a PR. You can indicate that it’s a docs-only change by adding [Documentation] to the title
       of your PR. Otherwise you’ll want to write some tests and code.

   Running Development Salt
       Note: If you run into any issues in this section, check the Troubleshooting section.

       If  you’re  going to hack on the Salt codebase you’re going to want to be able to run Salt
       locally. The first thing you need to do is install Salt as an editable pip install:

          python -m pip install -e .

       This will let you make changes to Salt without having to re-install it.

       After all of the dependencies and Salt are installed, it’s time to set up the  config  for
       development.  Typically  Salt  runs  as root, but you can specify which user to run as. To
       configure that, just copy the master and minion  configs.  We  have  .gitignore  setup  to
       ignore the local/ directory, so we can put all of our personal files there.

          mkdir -p local/etc/salt/

       Create a master config file as local/etc/salt/master:

          cat <<EOF >local/etc/salt/master
          user: $(whoami)
          root_dir: $PWD/local/
          publish_port: 55505
          ret_port: 55506
          EOF

       And a minion config as local/etc/salt/minion:

          cat <<EOF >local/etc/salt/minion
          user: $(whoami)
          root_dir: $PWD/local/
          master: localhost
          id: saltdev
          master_port: 55506
          EOF

       Now you can start your Salt master and minion, specifying the config dir.

          salt-master --config-dir=local/etc/salt/ --log-level=debug --daemon
          salt-minion --config-dir=local/etc/salt/ --log-level=debug --daemon

       Now you should be able to accept the minion key:

          salt-key -c local/etc/salt -Ay

       And check that your master/minion are communicating:

          salt -c local/etc/salt \* test.version

       Rather than running test.version from your master, you can run it from the minion instead:

          salt-call -c local/etc/salt test.version

       Note  that  you’re running salt-call instead of salt, and you’re not specifying the minion
       (\*), but if you’re running the dev version then you still will need to pass in the config
       dir. Now that you’ve got Salt running, you can hack away on the Salt codebase!

       If  you need to restart Salt for some reason, if you’ve made changes and they don’t appear
       to be reflected, this is one option:

          kill -INT $(pgrep salt-master)
          kill -INT $(pgrep salt-minion)

       If you’d rather not use kill, you can have a couple  of  terminals  open  with  your  salt
       virtualenv  activated  and omit the --daemon argument. Salt will run in the foreground, so
       you can just use ctrl+c to quit.

   Test First? Test Last? Test Meaningfully!
       You can write tests first or tests  last,  as  long  as  your  tests  are  meaningful  and
       complete! Typically the best tests for Salt are going to be unit tests. Testing is a whole
       topic on its own, But you may also want to write functional or integration  tests.  You’ll
       find those in the salt/tests directory.

       When  you’re  thinking  about tests to write, the most important thing to keep in mind is,
       “What, exactly, am I testing?” When a test fails, you should know:

       • What, specifically, failed?

       • Why did it fail?

       • As much as possible, what do I need to do to fix this failure?

       If you can’t answer those questions then you might need to refactor your tests.

       When you’re running tests locally, you should make sure  that  if  you  remove  your  code
       changes  your  tests  are  failing. If your tests aren’t failing when you haven’t yet made
       changes, then it’s possible that you’re testing the wrong thing.

       But whether you adhere to TDD/BDD, or you write your  code  first  and  your  tests  last,
       ensure that your tests are meaningful.

   Running Tests
       As  previously  mentioned, we use nox, and that’s how we run our tests. You should have it
       installed by this point but if not you can install it with this:

          python -m pip install nox

       Now you can run your tests:

          python -m nox -e "pytest-3.7(coverage=False)" -- tests/unit/cli/test_batch.py

       It’s a good idea to install espeak or use say on Mac if you’re running  some  long-running
       tests. You can do something like this:

          python -m nox -e "pytest-3.7(coverage=False)" -- tests/unit/cli/test_batch.py; espeak "Tests done, woohoo!"

       That way you don’t have to keep monitoring the actual test run.

   Changelog and Commit!
       When you write your commit message you should use imperative style. Do this:
          Add frobnosticate capability

       Don’t do this:
          Added frobnosticate capability

       But  that advice is backwards for the changelog. We follow the keepachangelog approach for
       our changelog, and use towncrier to generate it for each release. As  a  contributor,  all
       that  means  is  that  you  need  to add a file to the salt/changelog directory, using the
       <issue #>.<type> format. For instanch, if you fixed issue 123, you would do:

          echo "Made sys.doc inform when no minions return" > changelog/123.fixed

       And that’s all that would go into your file. When it comes to your  commit  message,  it’s
       usually a good idea to add other information, such as

       • What does a reviewer need to know about the change that you made?

       • If someone isn’t an expert in this area, what will they need to know?

       This  will  also  help you out, because when you go to create the PR it will automatically
       insert the body of your commit messages.

   PR Time!
       Once you’ve done all your dev work and  tested  locally,  you  should  check  out  our  PR
       guidelines.   After  you  read  that  page,  it’s  time  to open a new PR. Fill out the PR
       template - you should have updated or created any necessary docs,  and  written  tests  if
       you’re  providing  a  code  change. When you submit your PR, we have a suite of tests that
       will run across different platforms to help ensure that no known bugs were introduced.

   Now What?
       You’ve made your changes, added documentation, opened your PR, and have passing tests… now
       what? When can you expect your code to be merged?

       When you open your PR, a reviewer will get automatically assigned. If your PR is submitted
       during the week you should be able to  expect  some  kind  of  communication  within  that
       business  day. If your tests are passing and we’re not in a code freeze, ideally your code
       will be merged that day. If you haven’t heard from your assigned reviewer,  ping  them  on
       GitHub, irc, or Community Slack.

       It’s likely that your reviewer will leave some comments that need addressing - it may be a
       style change, or you forgot a changelog entry, or need to  update  the  docs.  Maybe  it’s
       something  more  fundamental  -  perhaps you encountered the rare case where your PR has a
       much larger scope than initially assumed.

       Whatever the case, simply make the requested changes (or  discuss  why  the  requests  are
       incorrect),  and  push up your new commits. If your PR is open for a significant period of
       time it may be worth rebasing your changes on the most recent changes to Salt. If you need
       help, the previously linked Git resources will be valuable.

       But  if,  for whatever reason, you’re not interested in driving your PR to completion then
       just note that in your PR. Something like, “I’m not interested in  writing  docs/tests,  I
       just  wanted  to provide this fix - someone else will need to complete this PR.” If you do
       that then we’ll add a “Help Wanted” label and someone will be able to pick up the PR, make
       the required changes, and it can eventually get merged in.

       In any case, now that you have a PR open, congrats! You’re a Salt developer! You rock!

   Troubleshooting
   zmq.core.error.ZMQError
       Once the minion starts, you may see an error like the following:

          ::
          zmq.core.error.ZMQError:                            ipc                            path
          "/path/to/your/virtualenv/var/run/salt/minion/minion_event_7824dcbcfd7a8f6755939af70b96249f_pub.ipc"
          is longer than 107 characters (sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path)).

       This  means that the path to the socket the minion is using is too long.  This is a system
       limitation, so the only workaround is to reduce the length of this path. This can be  done
       in a couple different ways:

       1. Create your virtualenv in a path that is short enough.

       2. Edit  the  :conf_minion:sock_dir minion config variable and reduce its length. Remember
          that this path is relative to the value you set in :conf_minion:root_dir.

       NOTE: The socket path is  limited  to  107  characters  on  Solaris  and  Linux,  and  103
       characters on BSD-based systems.

   No permissions to access 
       If you forget to pass your config path to any of the salt* commands, you might see

          No permissions to access "/var/log/salt/master", are you running as the
          correct user?

       Just pass -c local/etc/salt (or whatever you named it)

   File descriptor limit
       You might need to raise your file descriptor limit. You can check it with:

          ulimit -n

       If the value is less than 3072, you should increase it with:

          ulimit -n 3072
          # For c-shell:
          limit descriptors 3072

   Pygit2 or other dependency install fails
       You  may  see  some failure messages when installing requirements. You can directly access
       your nox environment and possibly install pygit (or other dependency) that way.  When  you
       run nox, you’ll see a message like this:

          nox > Re-using existing virtual environment at .nox/pytest-parametrized-3-crypto-none-transport-zeromq-coverage-false.

       For this, you would be able to install with:

          .nox/pytest-parametrized-3-crypto-none-transport-zeromq-coverage-false/bin/python -m pip install pygit2

   Deprecating Code
       Salt  should  remain  backwards compatible, though sometimes, this backwards compatibility
       needs to be broken because a specific feature and/or solution is no  longer  necessary  or
       required.   At first one might think, let me change this code, it seems that it's not used
       anywhere else so it should be safe to remove.  Then, once there's  a  new  release,  users
       complain  about functionality which was removed and they where using it, etc. This should,
       at all costs, be avoided, and, in these cases, that specific code should be deprecated.

       In order to give users enough time to migrate from  the  old  code  behavior  to  the  new
       behavior,  the  deprecation  time  frame  should  be  carefully  determined  based  on the
       significance and complexity of the changes required by the user.

       Salt feature releases are based on the Periodic Table. Any new  features  going  into  the
       master  branch  will  be  named after the next element in the Periodic Table. For example,
       Magnesium was the feature release name associated with the v3002 tag.  At  that  point  in
       time,  any new features going into the master branch, after v3002 was tagged, were part of
       the Aluminium feature release.

       A deprecation warning should be in place for  at  least  two  major  releases  before  the
       deprecated code and its accompanying deprecation warning are removed.  More time should be
       given for more complex changes.  For example, if the current release under development  is
       3001,  the  deprecated code and associated warnings should remain in place and warn for at
       least Aluminium.

       To help in this deprecation task, salt provides salt.utils.versions.warn_until.  The  idea
       behind  this  helper  function  is  to show the deprecation warning to the user until salt
       reaches   the   provided   version.   Once    that    provided    version    is    equaled
       salt.utils.versions.warn_until  will  raise a RuntimeError making salt stop its execution.
       This stoppage is unpleasant and will remind the developer that the deprecation  limit  has
       been reached and that the code can then be safely removed.

       Consider the following example:

          def some_function(bar=False, foo=None):
              if foo is not None:
                  salt.utils.versions.warn_until(
                      "Aluminium",
                      "The 'foo' argument has been deprecated and its "
                      "functionality removed, as such, its usage is no longer "
                      "required.",
                  )

       Development  begins  on  Aluminium, or v3003, after the v3002 tag is applied to the master
       branch.  Once this occurs, all uses of the warn_until function targeting Aluminium,  along
       with the code they are warning about should be removed from the code.

   Why are we deprecating Python 2?
       Python 2.7.18 was the final release of Python2, released in April 2020.   At  this  point,
       Python  2  will  no  longer  receive  any  unpaid  support. The Python core developers are
       focusing their efforts on improving and enhancing Python 3. Additionally,  many  libraries
       that Salt depends on have also dropped Python 2 support.

       To  take  advantage  of  continued  support and improvements, Salt is joining the ranks of
       projects that are dropping legacy Python support in favor of Python 3.

   Was this announced/decided before making the change?
       SEP 5 was approved in April, 2019.

   Can I contribute Python 2 code?
       For several years, Salt has been a Python 2/3 codebase, requiring Python 3 support for all
       contributions.  The  only  changes contributors can expect to this process is that we will
       now accept Python 3-only code changes.

       While there is a significant subset of Python that is compatible with both  Python  3  and
       legacy  Python, changes requiring six or otherwise removing Python 3-only code will not be
       accepted.

   What if my OS does not include Python 3 packages? Or, how do I upgrade from Salt on  Python  2
       to Salt on Python 3?
       There are several options to upgrade to Python 3.

   On Modern Platforms
       At  this  point, most modern Linux distributions have Python 3 packages.  Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
       has moved to Python 3.8 as it’s default system Python.

   On Other Platforms
   Build Your Own
       If your current distribution does not have Python 3 it’s pretty  simple  to  use  Salt  to
       build  and  distribute  Python  3 on your own. Installing Python 3 and pip installing Salt
       gives you the most control over your distribution.

   pop-build distributions
       Another approach is to use the pop-build distribution of Salt. With the Sodium release  we
       will  begin  releasing  packages for Salt using pop-build, in tandem with our normal build
       process.  The  pop-build  distribution  will  contain  Salt,  Python,  and  any  necessary
       dependencies, which will make it trivial to have a completely supported version of Salt.

   Will you support a Python 3 master with an older Python 2 minion?
       Yes!  Our  policy  of  keeping  newer  masters backwards compatible with at least the most
       recent minion version is not changing. You should be able to run modern  Salt  Masters  on
       Python 3 with slightly older minions running on legacy Python. Of course, if you want your
       minions to be able to take advantage of the newest features in Salt, upgrading to Python 3
       will be necessary.

   Will you support Python 2 master with a new Python 3 minion?
       In  keeping with our existing policy, we make no guarantees about older masters with newer
       minions. It may work, but breakages are common and should be expected.

   How does this impact Salt-SSH support?
       Salt-SSH will need Python 3 on the target  minions.  We  will  be  upgrading  Salt-SSH  to
       provide instructions or recommendations on adding Python3 if it is not detected.

   What is your plan for removing Python 2 code?
       Legacy Python code will be gradually removed from the Salt codebase.

       While  we  could remove most of it at once, that introduces a high level of risk. Instead,
       beginning with the Sodium (v3001) release, Salt will simply drop support for Python 2. PRs
       will no longer be required to support Python 2 before merging.

       Over  time, as modules are changed, six and other legacy Python syntax will be removed. It
       may be at some point in the future it becomes necessary to remove  the  last  vestiges  of
       legacy Python from Salt, but currently the plan is to take a more measured approach.

   Will Salt continue to package for Python 2?
       No. Beginning  with  Sodium  (v3001), Salt will no longer release packages for, or support
       Python 2.

   Installing Salt for development
       Clone the repository using:

          git clone https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       NOTE:
          tags

          Just cloning the repository is  enough  to  work  with  Salt  and  make  contributions.
          However,  fetching additional tags from git is required to have Salt report the correct
          version for itself. To do this, first add the git repository as an upstream source:

              git remote add upstream https://github.com/saltstack/salt

          Fetching tags is done with the git 'fetch' utility:

              git fetch --tags upstream

       Create a new virtualenv:

          virtualenv /path/to/your/virtualenv

       Avoid making your virtualenv path too long.

       On Arch Linux, where Python 3 is the default installation of Python, use  the  virtualenv2
       command instead of virtualenv.

       On   Gentoo   you  must  use  --system-site-packages  to  enable  pkg  and  portage_config
       functionality

       NOTE:
          Using system Python modules in the virtualenv

          To use already-installed python modules in virtualenv (instead of having  pip  download
          and  compile  new  ones),  run  virtualenv  --system-site-packages  Using  this  method
          eliminates the requirement to install the salt dependencies  again,  although  it  does
          assume  that  the listed modules are all installed in the system PYTHONPATH at the time
          of virtualenv creation.

       NOTE:
          Python development package

          Be sure to install python devel package in order to install required Python modules. In
          Debian/Ubuntu  run  sudo  apt-get install -y python-dev. In RedHat based system install
          python-devel

       Activate the virtualenv:

          source /path/to/your/virtualenv/bin/activate

       Install Salt (and dependencies) into the virtualenv:

          pip install pyzmq PyYAML pycrypto msgpack jinja2 psutil futures tornado
          pip install -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       NOTE:
          Installing psutil

          Python header files are required to build this module, otherwise the pip  install  will
          fail.  If your distribution separates binaries and headers into separate packages, make
          sure that you have the headers installed. In most Linux distributions which  split  the
          headers  into  their  own  package,  this  can  be done by installing the python-dev or
          python-devel package.  For other platforms, the package will likely be similarly named.

       WARNING:
          Installing on RedHat-based Distros

          If  installing  from  pip  (or from source using setup.py install), be advised that the
          yum-utils package is needed for Salt to manage packages on RedHat-based systems.

   Running a self-contained development version
       During development it is easiest to be able to run the Salt master  and  minion  that  are
       installed  in  the  virtualenv  you created above, and also to have all the configuration,
       log, and cache files contained in the virtualenv as well.

       The /path/to/your/virtualenv referenced multiple times below  is  also  available  in  the
       variable $VIRTUAL_ENV once the virtual environment is activated.

       Copy the master and minion config files into your virtualenv:

          mkdir -p /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/pki/{master,minion}
          cp ./salt/conf/master ./salt/conf/minion /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/

       Edit the master config file:

       1. Uncomment and change the user: root value to your own user.

       2. Uncomment and change the root_dir: / value to point to /path/to/your/virtualenv.

       3. Uncomment   and   change   the   pki_dir:   /etc/salt/pki/master   value  to  point  to
          /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/pki/master

       4. If you are running  version  0.11.1  or  older,  uncomment,  and  change  the  pidfile:
          /var/run/salt-master.pid value to point to /path/to/your/virtualenv/salt-master.pid.

       5. If  you  are also running a non-development version of Salt you will have to change the
          publish_port and ret_port values as well.

       Edit the minion config file:

       1. Repeat the edits you made in the master config for the user and root_dir values as well
          as any port changes.

       2. Uncomment   and   change   the   pki_dir:   /etc/salt/pki/minion   value  to  point  to
          /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt/pki/minion

       3. If you are running  version  0.11.1  or  older,  uncomment,  and  change  the  pidfile:
          /var/run/salt-minion.pid value to point to /path/to/your/virtualenv/salt-minion.pid.

       4. Uncomment and change the master: salt value to point at localhost.

       5. Uncomment  and change the id: value to something descriptive like "saltdev". This isn't
          strictly necessary but it will serve as a reminder of which Salt installation  you  are
          working with.

       6. If  you  changed the ret_port value in the master config because you are also running a
          non-development version of Salt, then you will have to change the master_port value  in
          the minion config to match.

       NOTE:
          Using salt-call with a Standalone Minion

          If  you  plan  to  run  salt-call with this self-contained development environment in a
          masterless setup, you should invoke salt-call with -c /path/to/your/virtualenv/etc/salt
          so  that  salt  can  find the minion config file. Without the -c option, Salt finds its
          config files in /etc/salt.

       Start the master and  minion,  accept  the  minion's  key,  and  verify  your  local  Salt
       installation is working:

          cd /path/to/your/virtualenv
          salt-master -c ./etc/salt -d
          salt-minion -c ./etc/salt -d
          salt-key -c ./etc/salt -L
          salt-key -c ./etc/salt -A
          salt -c ./etc/salt '*' test.version

       Running  the  master  and minion in debug mode can be helpful when developing. To do this,
       add -l debug to the calls to salt-master and salt-minion.  If you would like to log to the
       console instead of to the log file, remove the -d.

       NOTE:
          Too long socket path?

          Once the minion starts, you may see an error like the following:

              zmq.core.error.ZMQError: ipc path "/path/to/your/virtualenv/
              var/run/salt/minion/minion_event_7824dcbcfd7a8f6755939af70b96249f_pub.ipc"
              is longer than 107 characters (sizeof(sockaddr_un.sun_path)).

          This  means  that  the  path  to  the socket the minion is using is too long. This is a
          system limitation, so the only workaround is to reduce the length of  this  path.  This
          can be done in a couple different ways:

          1. Create your virtualenv in a path that is short enough.

          2. Edit  the  sock_dir minion config variable and reduce its length. Remember that this
             path is relative to the value you set in root_dir.

          NOTE: The socket path is limited to 107  characters  on  Solaris  and  Linux,  and  103
          characters on BSD-based systems.

       NOTE:
          File descriptor limits

          Ensure that the system open file limit is raised to at least 2047:

              # check your current limit
              ulimit -n

              # raise the limit. persists only until reboot
              # use 'limit descriptors 2047' for c-shell
              ulimit -n 2047

          To set file descriptors on macOS, refer to the macOS Installation instructions.

   Changing Default Paths
       Instead of updating your configuration files to point to the new root directory and having
       to pass the new configuration  directory  path  to  all  of  Salt's  CLI  tools,  you  can
       explicitly tweak the default system paths that Salt expects:

          GENERATE_SALT_SYSPATHS=1 pip install --global-option='--salt-root-dir=/path/to/your/virtualenv/' \
              -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       You  can  now  call  all  of Salt's CLI tools without explicitly passing the configuration
       directory.

   Additional Options
       If you want to distribute your virtualenv, you probably don't want to include Salt's clone
       .git/  directory,  and,  without  it, Salt won't report the accurate version. You can tell
       setup.py to generate the hardcoded version information which is distributable:

          GENERATE_SALT_SYSPATHS=1 WRITE_SALT_VERSION=1 pip install --global-option='--salt-root-dir=/path/to/your/virtualenv/' \
              -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       Instead of passing those two environmental variables, you can just pass a single one which
       will trigger the other two:

          MIMIC_SALT_INSTALL=1 pip install --global-option='--salt-root-dir=/path/to/your/virtualenv/' \
              -e ./salt   # the path to the salt git clone from above

       This last one will grant you an editable salt installation with hardcoded system paths and
       version information.

   Installing Salt from the Python Package Index
       If you are installing using  easy_install,  you  will  need  to  define  a  USE_SETUPTOOLS
       environment variable, otherwise dependencies will not be installed:

          USE_SETUPTOOLS=1 easy_install salt

   Editing and previewing the documentation
       You  need sphinx-build command to build the docs. In Debian/Ubuntu this is provided in the
       python-sphinx package. Sphinx can also be installed to a virtualenv using pip:

          pip install Sphinx==1.3.1

       Change to salt documentation directory, then:

          cd doc; make html

       • This will build the HTML docs. Run make without any arguments to see the available  make
         targets, which include html, man, and text.

       • The  docs then are built within the docs/_build/ folder. To update the docs after making
         changes, run make again.

       • The docs use reStructuredText for markup.  See a live demo at http://rst.ninjs.org/.

       • The help information on each module or state is culled from the python  code  that  runs
         for that piece. Find them in salt/modules/ or salt/states/.

       • To  build  the docs on Arch Linux, the python2-sphinx package is required. Additionally,
         it is necessary to tell make where to find the proper sphinx-build binary, like so:

          make SPHINXBUILD=sphinx-build2 html

       • To build the docs on RHEL/CentOS 6, the python-sphinx10 package must be  installed  from
         EPEL, and the following make command must be used:

          make SPHINXBUILD=sphinx-build html

       Once  you've  updated  the  documentation,  you  can run the following command to launch a
       simple Python HTTP server to see your changes:

          cd _build/html; python -m SimpleHTTPServer

   Running unit and integration tests
       Run the test suite with following command:

          ./setup.py test

       See here for more information regarding the test suite.

   Issue and Pull Request Labeling System
       SaltStack uses several labeling schemes to help  facilitate  code  contributions  and  bug
       resolution. See the Labels and Milestones documentation for more information.

   GitHub Labels and Milestones
       SaltStack  uses several label categories, as well as milestones, to triage incoming issues
       and pull requests in the GitHub issue tracker.  Labels are used to sort  issues  by  type,
       priority,  severity,  status,  functional area, functional group, and targeted release and
       pull requests by status, functional area, functional  group,  type  of  change,  and  test
       status.  Milestones are used to indicate whether an issue is fully triaged or is scheduled
       to be fixed by SaltStack in an upcoming sprint.

   Milestones
       All issues are assigned to a milestone, whereas pull requests are almost never assigned to
       a milestone as the mean lifetime of pull requests is short enough that there is no need to
       track them temporally.

       SaltStack uses milestones to indicate which issues are blocked on  submitter  or  upstream
       actions,  are approved, or are scheduled to be fixed or implemented in an upcoming sprint.
       If an issue is not attached to a sprint milestone, you are welcome to work on it  at  your
       own  desire and convenience.  If it is attached to a sprint milestone and you have already
       begun working on it or have a solution in mind or have other ideas related to  the  issue,
       you  are encouraged to coordinate with the assignee via the GitHub issue tracker to create
       the best possible solution or implementation.

       • Approved - The issue has been validated and has all necessary information.

       • Blocked - The issue is waiting on actions by  parties  outside  of  SaltStack,  such  as
         receiving  more  information from the submitter or resolution of an upstream issue. This
         milestone is usually applied in conjunction  with  the  labels  Info  Needed,  Question,
         Expected Behavior, Won't Fix For Now, or Upstream Bug.

   Labels
       Labels  are  used  to sort and describe issues and pull requests.  Some labels are usually
       reserved for one or the other, though most labels may be applied to both.

       New issues will receive at least one label and a milestone, and  new  pull  requests  will
       receive  at  least  one  label.  Except for the functional area and functional group label
       categories, issues will generally receive only up to one label per category.

   Type
       Issues are categorized into one of several types.  Type labels are almost never  used  for
       pull  requests.   GitHub  treats pull requests like issues in many ways, so a pull request
       could be considered an issue with an implicit Pull Request type label applied.

       • Feature - The issue is a request for new functionality including changes,  enhancements,
         refactors, etc.

       • Bug  -  The  issue  documents  broken,  incorrect, or confusing behavior.  This label is
         always accompanied by a severity label.

       • Duplicate - The issue is a duplicate of another feature request or bug report.

       • Upstream Bug - The issue is a result of an upstream issue.

       • Question - The issue is more of a question than a request for new features or  a  report
         of broken features, but can sometimes lead to further discussion or changes of confusing
         or incongruous behavior or documentation.

       • Expected Behavior - The issue is a bug report of intended functionality.

   Priority
       An issue's priority is relative to its functional area.  If a  bug  report,  for  example,
       about  gitfs  indicates  that  all users of gitfs will encounter this bug, then a P1 label
       will be applied, even though users who are not using gitfs will not encounter the bug.  If
       a feature is requested by many users, it may be given a high priority.

       • P1 - The issue will be seen by all users.

       • P2 - The issue will be seen by most users.

       • P3 - The issue will be seen by about half of users.

       • P4 - The issue will not be seen by most users.  Usually the issue is a very specific use
         case or corner case.

   Severity
       Severity labels are almost always only applied to issues labeled Bug.

       • Blocker - The issue is blocking an impending release.

       • Critical - The issue causes data loss, crashes or hangs salt processes, makes the system
         unresponsive, etc.

       • High  Severity  -  The  issue  reports  incorrect  functionality,  bad  functionality, a
         confusing user experience, etc.

       • Medium Severity - The issue reports cosmetic items, formatting, spelling, colors, etc.

   Functional Area
       Many major components of Salt have corresponding GitHub labels.  These labels are  applied
       to  all  issues  and  pull  requests  as  is  reasonably  appropriate.  They are useful in
       organizing issues and pull requests according to the source code relevant to issues or the
       source code changed by pull requests.

       • Execution ModuleFile ServersGrainsMulti-MasterPackaging  Related to packaging of Salt, not Salt's support for package management.

       • PillarRAETReturnersRunnersSPMSalt-APISalt-CloudSalt-SSHSalt-SyndicState ModuleTestsTransportWindowsZMQ

   Functional Group
       These labels sort issues and pull requests according to the internal SaltStack engineering
       teams.

       • Core - The issue or pull request relates to code that is central or existential to  Salt
         itself.

       • Platform  -  The  issue  or pull request relates to support and integration with various
         platforms like traditional operating  systems  as  well  as  containers,  platform-based
         utilities like filesystems, command schedulers, etc., and system-based applications like
         webservers, databases, etc.

       • RIoT - The issue or pull  request  relates  to  support  and  integration  with  various
         abstract systems like cloud providers, hypervisors, API-based services, etc.

       • Console - The issue or pull request relates to the SaltStack enterprise console.

       • Documentation - The issue or pull request relates to documentation.

   Status
       Status labels are used to define and track the state of issues and pull requests.  Not all
       potential statuses correspond to a label, but some statuses are common enough that  labels
       have  been created for them.  If an issue has not been moved beyond the Blocked milestone,
       it is very likely that it will only have a status label.

       • Cannot Reproduce - The issue is a bug and has been reviewed by a SaltStack engineer, but
         it  cannot be replicated with the provided information and context.  Those involved with
         the bug will need to work through additional ideas until the bug  can  be  isolated  and
         verified.

       • Confirmed - The issue is a bug and has been confirmed by a SaltStack engineer, who often
         documents a minimal working example that reproduces the bug.

       • Fixed Pending Verification - The issue is a bug and has been fixed by one or  more  pull
         requests,  which  should  link  to  the  issue.  Closure of the issue is contingent upon
         confirmation of resolution from the submitter.  If  the  submitter  reports  a  negative
         confirmation,  this  label  is removed.  If no response is given after a few weeks, then
         the issue will be assumed fixed and closed.

       • Info Needed - The issue needs more information before it can be verified  and  resolved.
         For  a  feature request this may include a description of the use cases.  Almost all bug
         reports need to include at least the versions of salt and its dependencies,  the  system
         type and version, commands used, debug logs, error messages, and relevant configs.

       • Pending Changes - The pull request needs additional changes before it can be merged.

       • Pending  Discussion  -  The issue or pull request needs more discussion before it can be
         closed or merged.  The status of the issue or pull request  is  not  clear  or  apparent
         enough  for  definite  action  to  be  taken,  or  additional  input from SaltStack, the
         submitter, or another party has been requested.

         If the issue is not a pull  request,  once  the  discussion  has  arrived  at  a  cogent
         conclusion,  this label will be removed and the issue will be accepted.  If it is a pull
         request, the results of the discussion  may  require  additional  changes  and  thus,  a
         Pending Changes label.

       • won't-fix  -  The  issue  is  legitimate,  but it is not something the Salt core team is
         currently able or willing to  fix  or  implement.   Issues  having  this  label  may  be
         revisited in the future, or solved by a Salt community member.

   Test Status
       These labels relate to the status of the automated tests that run on pull requests.

       • has-failing-test  -  The  PR currently has one or more failing tests that prevent the PR
         from being merged.

       • Needs Testcase - The PR has code changes, but lack any automated tests.  These PRs  need
         automated tests written before they may be merged.

   Other
       These  labels  indicate miscellaneous issue types or statuses that are common or important
       enough to be tracked and sorted with labels.

       • Awesome - The pull request implements an especially well crafted  solution,  or  a  very
         difficult but necessary change.

       • Help  Wanted  -  The  issue appears to have a simple solution.  Issues having this label
         should be a good starting place for new contributors to Salt.

       • Regression - The issue is a bug that breaks functionality  known  to  work  in  previous
         releases.

       • Story  - The issue is used by a SaltStack engineer to track progress on multiple related
         issues in a single place.

       • Stretch - The issue is an optional goal for the current sprint but may not be delivered.

       • ZD - The issue is related to a Zendesk customer support ticket.

       • <Release> - The issue is scheduled to be implemented  by  <Release>.   See  here  for  a
         discussion of Salt's release codenames.

   Package Providers
       This page contains guidelines for writing package providers.

   Package Functions
       One  of the most important features of Salt is package management. There is no shortage of
       package managers, so in the interest of providing a consistent experience in  pkg  states,
       there  are certain functions that should be present in a package provider. Note that these
       are subject to change as new features are added or existing features are enhanced.

   list_pkgs
       This function should declare an empty dict,  and  then  add  packages  to  it  by  calling
       pkg_resource.add_pkg, like so:

          __salt__["pkg_resource.add_pkg"](ret, name, version)

       The    last    thing    that   should   be   done   before   returning   is   to   execute
       pkg_resource.sort_pkglist. This function does not presently  do  anything  to  the  return
       dict, but will be used in future versions of Salt.

          __salt__["pkg_resource.sort_pkglist"](ret)

       list_pkgs  returns  a  dictionary  of  installed packages, with the keys being the package
       names and the values being the version installed. Example return data:

          {"foo": "1.2.3-4", "bar": "5.6.7-8"}

   latest_version
       Accepts an arbitrary number of arguments. Each argument is  a  package  name.  The  return
       value  for a package will be an empty string if the package is not found or if the package
       is up-to-date. The only case in which a non-empty string is returned is if the package  is
       available  for  new  installation  (i.e.  not already installed) or if there is an upgrade
       available.

       If only one argument was passed, this function  return  a  string,  otherwise  a  dict  of
       name/version pairs is returned.

       This function must also accept **kwargs, in order to receive the fromrepo and repo keyword
       arguments from pkg states. Where supported, these arguments should be  used  to  find  the
       install/upgrade candidate in the specified repository. The fromrepo kwarg takes precedence
       over repo, so if both of those kwargs are present, the repository  specified  in  fromrepo
       should  be  used.  However,  if repo is used instead of fromrepo, it should still work, to
       preserve backwards compatibility with older versions of Salt.

   version
       Like latest_version, accepts an arbitrary number of arguments and returns a  string  if  a
       single package name was passed, or a dict of name/value pairs if more than one was passed.
       The only difference is that the return values  are  the  currently-installed  versions  of
       whatever packages are passed. If the package is not installed, an empty string is returned
       for that package.

   upgrade_available
       Deprecated and destined to be removed. For now, should just do the following:

          def myfunc():
              return __salt__["pkg.latest_version"](name) != ""

   install
       The following arguments are required and should default to None:

       1. name (for single-package pkg states)

       2. pkgs (for multiple-package pkg states)

       3. sources (for binary package file installation)

       The first thing that this function  should  do  is  call  pkg_resource.parse_targets  (see
       below). This function will convert the SLS input into a more easily parsed data structure.
       pkg_resource.parse_targets may need to be modified to support your new  package  provider,
       as  it  does  things  like parsing package metadata which cannot be done for every package
       management system.

          pkg_params, pkg_type = __salt__["pkg_resource.parse_targets"](name, pkgs, sources)

       Two values will be returned to  the  install  function.  The  first  of  them  will  be  a
       dictionary.  The  keys  of  this  dictionary will be package names, though the values will
       differ depending on what kind of installation is being done:

       • If name was provided (and pkgs was not),  then  there  will  be  a  single  key  in  the
         dictionary,  and its value will be None. Once the data has been returned, if the version
         keyword argument was provided, then it should replace the None value in the dictionary.

       • If pkgs was provided, then name is ignored, and the dictionary will  contain  one  entry
         for  each  package  in  the  pkgs  list.  The values in the dictionary will be None if a
         version was not specified for the package, and the desired version if specified. See the
         Multiple Package Installation Options section of the pkg.installed state for more info.

       • If  sources  was  provided,  then name is ignored, and the dictionary values will be the
         path/URI for the package.

       The second return value will be a string with two possible values: repository or file. The
       install  function can use this value (if necessary) to build the proper command to install
       the targeted package(s).

       Both before and after the installing the target(s), you should run list_pkgs to  obtain  a
       list   of   the   installed   packages.   You   should   then   return   the   output   of
       salt.utils.data.compare_dicts():

          def myfunc():
              return salt.utils.data.compare_dicts(old, new)

   remove
       Removes the passed package and return a list of the packages removed.

   Package Repo Functions
       There are some functions provided by pkg which are specific to package  repositories,  and
       not to packages themselves. When writing modules for new package managers, these functions
       should be made available as stated below, in  order  to  provide  compatibility  with  the
       pkgrepo state.

       All  repo  functions  should  accept  a  basedir  option,  which  defines  which directory
       repository configuration should be found in. The default for this is dictated by the  repo
       manager that is being used, and rarely needs to be changed.

          basedir = "/etc/yum.repos.d"
          __salt__["pkg.list_repos"](basedir)

   list_repos
       Lists the repositories that are currently configured on this system.

          __salt__["pkg.list_repos"]()

       Returns a dictionary, in the following format:

          {'reponame': 'config_key_1': 'config value 1',
                       'config_key_2': 'config value 2',
                       'config_key_3': ['list item 1 (when appropriate)',
                                        'list item 2 (when appropriate)]}

   get_repo
       Displays all local configuration for a specific repository.

          __salt__["pkg.get_repo"](repo="myrepo")

       The  information  is formatted in much the same way as list_repos, but is specific to only
       one repo.

          {'config_key_1': 'config value 1',
           'config_key_2': 'config value 2',
           'config_key_3': ['list item 1 (when appropriate)',
                            'list item 2 (when appropriate)]}

   del_repo
       Removes the local configuration for a specific repository. Requires a repo argument, which
       must  match the locally configured name. This function returns a string, which informs the
       user as to whether or not the operation was a success.

          __salt__["pkg.del_repo"](repo="myrepo")

   mod_repo
       Modify the local configuration for one or more option for a configured repo.  This is also
       the way to create new repository configuration on the local system; if a repo is specified
       which does not yet exist, it will be created.

       The options specified for this function are specific to the system; please  refer  to  the
       documentation for your specific repo manager for specifics.

          __salt__["pkg.mod_repo"](repo="myrepo", url="http://myurl.com/repo")

   Low-Package Functions
       In  general, the standard package functions as describes above will meet your needs. These
       functions use the system's native repo manager (for instance, yum or the  apt  tools).  In
       most  cases, the repo manager is actually separate from the package manager. For instance,
       yum is usually a front-end for rpm,  and  apt  is  usually  a  front-end  for  dpkg.  When
       possible,  the  package  functions  that  use those package managers directly should do so
       through the low package functions.

       It is normal and sane for pkg to make calls to lowpkgs, but lowpkg must never  make  calls
       to  pkg.  This  is  affects  functions  which are required by both pkg and lowpkg, but the
       technique in pkg is more performant than what is available to lowpkg.  When  this  is  the
       case, the lowpkg function that requires that technique must still use the lowpkg version.

   list_pkgs
       Returns  a dict of packages installed, including the package name and version.  Can accept
       a list of packages; if none are specified, then all installed packages will be listed.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.list_pkgs"]("foo", "bar")

       Example output:

          {"foo": "1.2.3-4", "bar": "5.6.7-8"}

   verify
       Many (but not all) package management systems provide a  way  to  verify  that  the  files
       installed by the package manager have or have not changed. This function accepts a list of
       packages; if none are specified, all packages will be included.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.verify"]("httpd")

       Example output:

          {
              "/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf": {
                  "mismatch": ["size", "md5sum", "mtime"],
                  "type": "config",
              }
          }

   file_list
       Lists all of the files installed by all packages specified. If not packages are specified,
       then all files for all known packages are returned.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.file_list"]("httpd", "apache")

       This function does not return which files belong to which packages; all files are returned
       as one giant list (hence the file_list function name. However, This information  is  still
       returned inside of a dict, so that it can provide any errors to the user in a sane manner.

          {
              "errors": ["package apache is not installed"],
              "files": ["/etc/httpd", "/etc/httpd/conf", "/etc/httpd/conf.d", "...SNIP..."],
          }

   file_dict
       Lists all of the files installed by all packages specified. If not packages are specified,
       then all files for all known packages are returned.

          installed = __salt__["lowpkg.file_dict"]("httpd", "apache", "kernel")

       Unlike file_list, this function will break down which files belong to which  packages.  It
       will also return errors in the same manner as file_list.

          {
              "errors": ["package apache is not installed"],
              "packages": {
                  "httpd": ["/etc/httpd", "/etc/httpd/conf", "...SNIP..."],
                  "kernel": [
                      "/boot/.vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64.hmac",
                      "/boot/System.map-2.6.32-279.el6.x86_64",
                      "...SNIP...",
                  ],
              },
          }

   Pull Requests
       Salt  is  a large software project with many developers working together. We encourage all
       Salt users to contribute new features, bug fixes and documentation fixes.  For  those  who
       haven't  contributed  to  a large software project before we encourage you to consider the
       following questions when preparing a pull request.

       This isn't an exhaustive list and these aren't necessarily hard and fast rules, but  these
       are things we consider when reviewing a pull request.

       • Does  this  change  work on all platforms? In cases where it does not, is an appropriate
         and easy-to-understand reason presented to the user? Is it documented as-such?  Have  we
         thought about all the possible ways this code might be used and accounted as best we can
         for them?

       • Will this code work on versions of all  Python  we  support?  Will  it  work  on  future
         versions?

       • Are  Python  reserved keywords used? Are variables named in a way that will make it easy
         for the next person to understand what's going on?

       • Does this code present a security risk in any way? What is the worst possible thing that
         an  attacker could do with this code? If dangerous cases are possible, is it appropriate
         to document them? If so, has this been done?  Would  this  change  pass  muster  with  a
         professional  security  audit?  Is it obvious to a person using this code what the risks
         are?

       • Is it readable? Does it conform to our style guide? Is the code documented such that the
         next person who comes along will be able to read and understand it? Most especially, are
         edge-cases documented to avoid regressions? Will it be immediately evident to  the  next
         person who comes along why this change was made?

       • If  appropriate, has the person who wrote the code which is being modified been notified
         and included in the process?

       • What are the performance implications of this change? Is there a more efficient  way  to
         structure the logic and if so, does making the change balance itself against readability
         in a sensible way? Do the performance characteristics of the code change  based  on  the
         way it is being invoked (i.e., through an API or various command-line tools.) Will it be
         easy to profile this change if it might be a problem?

       • Are caveats considered and documented in the change?

       • Will the code scale? More critically, will it scale in both directions?   Salt  runs  in
         data-centers  and  on  Raspberry Pi installations in the Sahara. It needs to work on big
         servers and tiny devices.

       • Is appropriate documentation written both in public-facing docs and in-line?   How  will
         the user know how to use this? What will they do if it doesn't work as expected? Is this
         something a new user will understand? Can a user  know  all  they  need  to  about  this
         functionality by reading the public docs?

       • Is  this  a  change in behavior? If so, is it in the appropriate branch? Are deprecation
         warnings necessary? Have those changes been fully documented?   Have  we  fully  thought
         through what implications a change in behavior might have?

       • How has the code been tested? If appropriate are there automated tests which cover this?
         Is it likely to regress? If so, how has the potential of that regression been mitigated?
         What is the plan for ensuring that this code works going forward?

       • If it's asynchronous code, what is the potential for a race condition?

       • Is this code an original work? If it's borrowed from another project or found online are
         the appropriate licensing/attribution considerations handled?

       • Is the reason for the change fully explained in the PR?  If  not  for  review,  this  is
         necessary  so  that  somebody  in  the  future  can  go  back  and figure out why it was
         necessary.

       • Is the intended behavior of the change clear? How will that behavior be known to  future
         contributors and to users?

       • Does this code handle errors in a reasonable way? Have we gone back through the stack as
         much as possible to make sure that an error cannot be raised that we do not account for?
         Are errors tested for as well as proper functionality?

       • If the code relies on external libraries, do we properly handle old versions of them? Do
         we require a specific version and if so  is  this  version  check  implemented?  Is  the
         library  available  on  the same platforms that module in question claims to support? If
         the code was written and tested against a particular library, have  we  documented  that
         fact?

       • Can  this  code freeze/hang/crash a running daemon? Can it stall a state run?  Are there
         infinite loops? Are appropriate timeouts implemented?

       • Is the function interface well documented? If argument types  can  not  be  inferred  by
         introspection, are they documented?

       • Are resources such as file-handles cleaned-up after they are used?

       • Is it possible that a reference-cycle exists between objects that will leak memory?

       • Has the code been linted and does it pass all tests?

       • Does  the  change fully address the problem or is it limited to a small surface area? By
         this, I mean that it should be clear that the submitter has looked for  other  cases  in
         the  function  or  module  where  the  given case might also be addressed. If additional
         changes are necessary are they documented in the code as a FIXME or the PR and in Github
         as an issue to be tracked?

       • Will the code throw errors/warnings/stacktraces to the console during normal operation?

       • Has all the debugging been removed?

       • Does the code log any sensitive data? Does it show sensitive data in process lists? Does
         it store sensitive data to disk and if so, does it do so in a secure manner?  Are  there
         potential  race  conditions  in  between  writing  the  data  to  disk  and  setting the
         appropriate permissions?

       • Is it clear from the solution that the problem is well-understood? How can somebody  who
         has never seen the problem feel confident that this proposed change is the best one?

       • What's  hard-coded  that  might not need to be? Are we making sensible decisions for the
         user and allowing them to tune and change things where appropriate?

       • Are utility functions used where appropriate? Does this change re-implement something we
         already have code for?

       • Is the right thing being fixed? There are cases where it's appropriate to fix a test and
         cases where it's appropriate to fix the code that's under test.  Which is best  for  the
         user? Is this change a shortcut or a solution that will be solid in the months and years
         to come?

       • How will this code react to changes elsewhere in the code base? What is  it  coupled  to
         and  have we fully thought through how best to present a coherent interface to consumers
         of a given function or method?

       • Does this PR try to fix too many bugs/problems at once?

       • Should this be split into multiple PRs to make them easier to test and reason about?

   Pull Request Requirements
       The following outlines what is required before a pull request can be merged into the  salt
       project.  For  each  of  these  requirements,  an  exception  can  be made that requires 3
       approvals before merge. The exceptions are detailed more below.

   All PR requirements
          • Approval Required: approval review from core team member OR 1  approval  review  from
            captain of working group

          • Cannot  merge  your  own PR until 1 reviewer approves from defined list above that is
            not the author.

          • All Tests Pass

   Bug Fix PR requirements
          • Test Coverage: regression test written to cover bug fix. Contributors  only  need  to
            write test coverage for their specific changes.

          • Point  to the issue the PR is resolving. If there is not an issue one will need to be
            created.

   Feature PR requirements
          • Test Coverage: tests written to cover new feature. Contributors only  need  to  write
            test coverage for their specific changes.

          • Release Notes: Add note in release notes of new feature for relative release.

          • Add  ..  versionadded::  <release>  to module's documentation. If you are not certain
            which release your fix will be included in you can include TBD and  the  PR  reviewer
            will  let  you  know  the  correct  name  of  the  release  you need to update to the
            versionadded.

   Exceptions to all requirements
       As previously stated, all of the above requirements can  be  bypassed  with  3  approvals.
       PR's that do not require tests include:

          • documentation

          • cosmetic changes (for example changing from log.debug to log.trace)

          • fixing tests

          • pylint

          • changes outside of the salt directory

   Reporting Bugs
       Salt uses GitHub to track open issues and feature requests.

       To file a bug, please navigate to the new issue page for the Salt project.

       In an issue report, please include the following information:

          • The  output  of  salt  --versions-report from the relevant machines. This can also be
            gathered remotely by using salt <my_tgt> test.versions_report.

          • A description of the problem including steps taken to cause the issue  to  occur  and
            the expected behaviour.

          • Any steps taken to attempt to remediate the problem.

          • Any configuration options set in a configuration file that may be relevant.

          • A  reproduceable  test  case. This may be as simple as an SLS file that illustrates a
            problem or it may be a link to a repository that contains a number of SLS files  that
            can  be  used  together  to  re-produce  a problem. If the problem is transitory, any
            information that can be used to try and reproduce the problem is helpful.

          • [Optional] The output of each salt component  (master/minion/CLI)  running  with  the
            -ldebug flag set.

          NOTE:
              Please be certain to scrub any logs or SLS files for sensitive data!

   Salt Topology
       Salt  is  based  on  a  powerful, asynchronous, network topology using ZeroMQ. Many ZeroMQ
       systems are in place to enable communication. The central idea  is  to  have  the  fastest
       communication possible.

   Servers
       The  Salt  Master runs 2 network services. First is the ZeroMQ PUB system. This service by
       default runs on port 4505/tcp and can be configured via the  publish_port  option  in  the
       master configuration.

       Second  is the ZeroMQ REP system. This is a separate interface used for all bi-directional
       communication with minions. By default this system binds  to  port  4506/tcp  and  can  be
       configured via the ret_port option in the master.

   PUB/SUB
       The  commands  sent  out  via  the salt client are broadcast out to the minions via ZeroMQ
       PUB/SUB. This is done by allowing the minions to maintain a connection back  to  the  Salt
       Master  and  then  all  connections are informed to download the command data at once. The
       command data is kept extremely small (usually less than 1K) so it is not a burden  on  the
       network.

   Return
       The  PUB/SUB  system  is  a  one  way communication, so once a publish is sent out the PUB
       interface on the master has no further communication with the minion.  The  minion,  after
       running  the  command,  then  sends  the  command's return data back to the master via the
       ret_port.

   Developing Salt Tutorial
       This tutorial assumes you have:

       • a web browser

       • a GitHub account (<my_account>)

       • a command line (CLI)

       • git

       • a text editor

   Fork
       In your browser, navigate to the saltstack/salt GitHub repository.

       Click on Fork (https://github.com/saltstack/salt/#fork-destination-box).

       NOTE:
          If you have more than one GitHub presence, for example if you are a member of  a  team,
          GitHub  will  ask  you  into  which  area to clone Salt.  If you don't know where, then
          select your personal GitHub account.

   Clone
       In your CLI, navigate to the directory into which you want clone  the  Salt  codebase  and
       submit the following command:

          $ git clone https://github.com/<my_account>/salt.git

       where <my_account> is the name of your GitHub account.  After the clone has completed, add
       SaltStack as a second remote and fetch any changes from upstream.

          $ cd salt
          $ git remote add upstream https://github.com/saltstack/salt.git
          $ git fetch upstream

       For this tutorial, we will be working off from the master branch,  which  is  the  default
       branch  for  the  SaltStack GitHub project.  This branch needs to track upstream/master so
       that we will get all upstream changes when they happen.

          $ git checkout master
          $ git branch --set-upstream-to upstream/master

   Fetch
       Fetch any upstream changes on the master branch and sync them to your local  copy  of  the
       branch with a single command:

          $ git pull --rebase

       NOTE:
          For  an  explanation  on  pull  vs  pull  --rebase and other excellent points, see this
          article by Mislav Marohnić.

   Branch
       Now we are ready to get to work.  Consult the sprint  beginner  bug  list  and  select  an
       execution  module  whose  __virtual__  function  needs  to  be  updated.   I'll select the
       alternatives module.

       Create a new branch off from master.  Be sure to name it something short and descriptive.

          $ git checkout -b virt_ret

   Edit
       Edit the file you have selected, and verify that the changes are correct.

          $ vim salt/modules/alternatives.py
          $ git diff

          diff --git a/salt/modules/alternatives.py b/salt/modules/alternatives.py

       NOTE:
          If  you  need more room to describe the changes in your commit, run git commit (without
          the -m, message, option) and you will be presented with an editor.  The first  line  is
          the commit summary and should still be 50 characters or less.  The following paragraphs
          you create are free form and will be preserved as part of the commit.

   Push
       Push your branch to your GitHub account.  You  will  likely  need  to  enter  your  GitHub
       username and password.

          $ git push origin virt_ret
          Username for 'https://github.com': <my_account>
          Password for 'https://<my_account>@github.com':

       NOTE:
          If authentication over https does not work, you can alternatively setup ssh keys.  Once
          you have done this, you may need add the keys to your git repository configuration

              $ git config ssh.key ~/.ssh/<key_name>

          where <key_name> is the file name of the private key you created.

   Merge
       In your browser, navigate to the new  pull  request  page  on  the  saltstack/salt  GitHub
       repository  and  click on compare across forks.  Select <my_account> from the list of head
       forks and the branch you are wanting to merge into master (virt_ret in this case).

       When you have finished reviewing the changes, click Create pull request.

       If your pull request contains only a single commit, the title and comment  will  be  taken
       from  that  commit's summary and message, otherwise the branch name is used for the title.
       Edit these fields as necessary  and click Create pull request.

       NOTE:
          Although these instructions seem to be the official pull request procedure on  github's
          website, here are two alternative methods that are simpler.

          • If   you  navigate  to  your  clone  of  salt,  https://github.com/<my_account>/salt,
            depending on how old your branch is or how recently you pushed updates on it, you may
            be presented with a button to create a pull request with your branch.

          • I find it easiest to edit the following URL:

            https://github.com/saltstack/salt/compare/master...<my_account>:virt_ret

   Modular Systems
       When first working with Salt, it is not always clear where all of the  modular  components
       are  and  what  they  do.  Salt comes loaded with more modular systems than many users are
       aware of, making Salt very easy to extend in many places.

       The most commonly used modular systems are execution modules and states. But  the  modular
       systems  extend well beyond the more easily exposed components and are often added to Salt
       to make the complete system more flexible.

   Developing New Modules
   Interactive Debugging
       Sometimes debugging with print() and extra logs  sprinkled  everywhere  is  not  the  best
       strategy.

       IPython  is  a  helpful debug tool that has an interactive python environment which can be
       embedded in python programs.

       First the system will require IPython to be installed.

          # Debian
          apt-get install ipython

          # Arch Linux
          pacman -Syu ipython2

          # RHEL/CentOS (via EPEL)
          yum install python-ipython

       Now, in the troubling python module, add the  following  line  at  a  location  where  the
       debugger should be started:

          test = "test123"
          import IPython

          IPython.embed_kernel()

       After  running  a  Salt command that hits that line, the following will show up in the log
       file:

          [CRITICAL] To connect another client to this kernel, use:
          [IPKernelApp] --existing kernel-31271.json

       Now on the system that invoked embed_kernel, run the following command from a shell:

          # NOTE: use ipython2 instead of ipython for Arch Linux
          ipython console --existing

       This provides a console that has access to all the vars and functions, and  even  supports
       tab-completion.

          print(test)
          test123

       To exit IPython and continue running Salt, press Ctrl-d to logout.

   The Salt Loader
       Salt's  loader system is responsible for reading Special Module Contents and providing the
       context for the special Dunder Dictionaries. When modules developed for Salt's loader  are
       imported  directly,  the  dunder  attributes  won't  be  populated. You can use the Loader
       Context to work around this.

   Loader Context
       Given the following.

          # coolmod.py

          def utils_func_getter(name):
              return __utils__[name]

       You would not be able import coolmod and run utils_func_getter because __utils__ would not
       be defined. You must run coolmod.utils_func_getter in the context of a loader.

          import coolmod
          import salt.loader

          opts = {}
          utils = salt.loader.utils(opts)
          with salt.loader.context(utils):
              func = coolmod.utils_func_getter("foo.bar")

   Special Module Contents
       These are things that may be defined by the module to influence various things.

   __virtual__
   __virtual_aliases__
   __virtualname__
   __init__
       Called before __virtual__()

   __proxyenabled__
       grains and proxy modules

       __proxyenabled__  as  a  list  containing  the  names  of  the proxy types that the module
       supports.

   __load__
   __func_alias__
   __outputter__
   Dunder Dictionaries
       Salt provides several special "dunder" dictionaries as a convenience for Salt development.
       These  include  __opts__,  __context__,  __salt__, and others. This document will describe
       each dictionary and detail where they exist and what information and/or functionality they
       provide.

       The following dunder dictionaries are always defined, but may be empty

       • __context____grains____pillar____opts__

   __opts__
       Defined in: All modules

       The  __opts__  dictionary contains all of the options passed in the configuration file for
       the master or minion.

       NOTE:
          In many  places  in  salt,  instead  of  pulling  raw  data  from  the  __opts__  dict,
          configuration data should be pulled from the salt get functions such as config.get

              __salt__["config.get"]("foo:bar")

          The  get  functions  also allow for dict traversal via the : delimiter.  Consider using
          get functions whenever using __opts__ or __pillar__ and __grains__ (when  using  grains
          for configuration data)

       The configuration file data made available in the __opts__ dictionary is the configuration
       data relative to the running daemon. If the modules are loaded and executed by the master,
       then  the  master  configuration  data  is  available,  if the modules are executed by the
       minion, then the minion configuration is available. Any additional information passed into
       the respective configuration files is made available

   __salt__
       Defined  in:  Auth,  Beacons, Engines, Execution, Executors, Outputters, Pillars, Proxies,
       Renderers, Returners, Runners, SDB, SSH Wrappers, State, Thorium

       __salt__ contains the execution module functions. This allows  for  all  functions  to  be
       called as they have been set up by the salt loader.

          __salt__["cmd.run"]("fdisk -l")
          __salt__["network.ip_addrs"]()

       NOTE:
          When used in runners or outputters, __salt__ references other runner/outputter modules,
          and not execution modules.

   __grains__
       Filled in for: Execution, Pillar, Renderer, Returner, SSH Wrapper, State.

       The __grains__ dictionary contains the  grains  data  generated  by  the  minion  that  is
       currently being worked with. In execution modules, state modules and returners this is the
       grains of the minion running the calls, when generating the external pillar the __grains__
       is the grains data from the minion that the pillar is being generated for.

       While __grains__ is defined for every module, it's only filled in for some.

   __pillar__
       Filled in for: Execution, Renderer, Returner, SSH Wrapper, State

       The __pillar__ dictionary contains the pillar for the respective minion.

       While __pillar__ is defined for every module, it's only filled in for some.

   __ext_pillar__
       Filled in for: Pillar

       The __ext_pillar__ dictionary contains the external pillar modules.

   __context__
       During  a state run the __context__ dictionary persists across all states that are run and
       then is destroyed when the state ends.

       When running an execution module __context__ persists across all module  executions  until
       the modules are refreshed; such as when saltutil.sync_all or state.apply are executed.

       A  great place to see how to use __context__ is in the cp.py module in salt/modules/cp.py.
       The fileclient authenticates with the master when it is instantiated and then is  used  to
       copy  files to the minion. Rather than create a new fileclient for each file that is to be
       copied down, one instance of the fileclient is instantiated in the __context__  dictionary
       and is reused for each file. Here is an example from salt/modules/cp.py:

          if not "cp.fileclient" in __context__:
              __context__["cp.fileclient"] = salt.fileclient.get_file_client(__opts__)

       NOTE:
          Because __context__ may or may not have been destroyed, always be sure to check for the
          existence of the key in __context__ and generate the key before using it.

   __utils__
       Defined in: Cloud, Engine, Execution, File Server, Grain, Pillar, Proxy,  Roster,  Runner,
       SDB, State

   __proxy__
       Defined in: Beacon, Engine, Execution, Executor, Proxy, Renderer, Returner, State, Util

   __runner__
       Defined in: Engine, Roster, Thorium

       NOTE:
          When used in engines, it should be called __runners__ (plural)

   __executors__
       Defined in: Executor

   __ret__
       Defined in: Proxy

   __thorium__
       Defined in: Thorium

   __states__
       Defined in: Renderers, State

   __serializers__
       Defined in: State

   __sdb__
       Defined in: SDB

   Configuration Options
       A  number  of  configuration  options can affect the load process. This is a quick list of
       them:

       • autoload_dynamic_modules (Minion)

       • cython_enable (Minion, Master)

       • disable_modules (Minion)

       • disable_returners (Minion)

       • enable_zip_modules (Minion)

       • extension_modules (Master)

       • extmod_whitelist (Minion, Master)

       • extmod_blacklist (Minion, Master)

       • whitelist_modules (Minion)

       • grains_dirs (Minion)

       • module_dirs (Minion, Master)

       • outputter_dirs (Minion, Master)

       • providers (Minion)

       • render_dirs (Minion)

       • returner_dirs (Minion)

       • runner_dirs (Master)

       • states_dirs (Minion)

       • utils_dirs (Minion)

   Loading Modules
       Modules come primarily from several sources:

       • The Salt package itself

       • The Salt File Server

       • The extmods directory

       • Secondary packages installed

       Using one source to override another is not supported.

   The Salt Package
       Salt itself ships with a large number of modules. These  are  part  of  the  Salt  package
       itself  and  don't require the user to do anything to use them. (Although a number of them
       have additional dependencies and/or configuration.)

   The Salt File Server
       The user may  add  modules  by  simply  placing  them  in  special  directories  in  their
       fileserver.

       The  name  of  the  directory inside of the file server is the directory name prepended by
       underscore, such as:

       • _grains_modules_states

       Modules must be synced before they can be used. This can  happen  a  few  ways,  discussed
       below.

       NOTE:
          Using saltenvs besides base may not work in all contexts.

   Sync Via States
       The  minion  configuration  contains  an option autoload_dynamic_modules which defaults to
       True. This option makes the state system refresh all dynamic modules when states are  run.
       To disable this behavior set autoload_dynamic_modules to False in the minion config.

       When  dynamic  modules  are  autoloaded  via  states, only the modules defined in the same
       saltenvs as the states currently being run.

   Sync Via the saltutil Module
       The saltutil module has a number of functions that can be used to  sync  all  or  specific
       dynamic  modules. The saltutil.sync_* execution functions and runner functions can be used
       to sync modules to minions and the master, respectively.

   The extmods Directory
       Any files places in the directory  set  by  extension_modules  settings  (minion,  master,
       default  /var/cache/salt/*/extmods)  can  also  be  loaded  as  modules.  Note  that these
       directories are also used by the saltutil.sync_* functions (mentioned above) and files may
       be overwritten.

   Secondary Packages
       Third-party packages may also add modules to Salt if they are installed in the same system
       and Python environment as the Salt Minion or Master.

       This is done via setuptools entry points:

          setup(
              # ...
              entry_points={"salt.loader": ["module_dirs=spirofs.loader:module"]},
              # ...
          )

       Note that these are not synced from the Salt Master to the Minions. They must be installed
       independently on each Minion.

   Module Types
       The  specific  names  used by each loading method above are as follows. See sections below
       for a short summary of each of these systems.

       [1]  These modules cannot be loaded from the Salt File Server.

            NOTE:
          While it is possible to import modules  directly  with  the  import  statement,  it  is
          strongly  recommended  that  the  appropriate  dunder dictionary is used to access them
          instead. This is because a number of factors affect module names, module selection, and
          module overloading.

       The auth module system allows for external authentication routines to be easily added into
       Salt. The auth function needs to be implemented to satisfy the  requirements  of  an  auth
       module. Use the pam module as an example.

       See External Authentication System for more about authentication in Salt.

   Beacon
       • Writing Beacons

       Beacons  are  polled by the Salt event loop to monitor non-salt processes. See Beacons for
       more information about the beacon system.

   Cache
       The minion cache is used by the master to store various  information  about  minions.  See
       Minion Data Cache for more information.

   Cloud
       Cloud modules are backend implementations used by Salt Cloud.

   Engine
       Engines  are open-ended services managed by the Salt daemon (both master and minion). They
       may interact with event loop, call other modules, or a variety of non-salt tasks. See Salt
       Engines for complete details.

   Execution
       Execution  modules  make  up  the  core of the functionality used by Salt to interact with
       client systems. The execution modules create the core system management  library  used  by
       all Salt systems, including states, which interact with minion systems.

       Execution  modules  are  completely  open ended in their execution. They can be used to do
       anything required on a minion, from installing packages to detecting information about the
       system.  The  only  restraint  in  execution  modules is that the defined functions always
       return a JSON serializable object.

   Executor
       Executors control how execution modules get called. The default is to just call them,  but
       this can be customized.

   File Server
       The  file  server  module  system  is used to create file server backends used by the Salt
       Master. These modules need to implement the functions used in  the  fileserver  subsystem.
       Use the gitfs module as an example.

       See File Server Backends for more information.

   Grains
       • writing-grains

       Grain  modules define extra routines to populate grains data. All defined public functions
       will be executed and MUST return a Python dict object. The dict keys will be added to  the
       grains made available to the minion.

       See Grains for more.

   Log Handler
       Log  handlers  allows  the logs from salt (master or minion) to be sent to log aggregation
       systems.

   Matcher
       Matcher modules are used to define the minion targeting expressions.  For now, it is  only
       possible  to override the existing matchers (the required CLI plumbing for custom matchers
       is not implemented yet).

   Metaproxy
       Metaproxy is an abstraction layer above the  existing  proxy  minion.  It  enables  adding
       different types of proxy minions that can still load existing proxymodules.

   Net API
       Net API modules are the actual server implementation used by Salt API.

   Output
       The  output  modules  supply  the  outputter  system  with routines to display data in the
       terminal. These modules are very simple and only require the output function  to  execute.
       The default system outputter is the nested module.

   Pillar
   External Pillars
       Salt  provides  a  mechanism  for  generating  pillar  data  by  calling  external  pillar
       interfaces. This document will describe an outline of an ext_pillar module.

   Location
       Salt expects to find your ext_pillar module in the same location where it looks for  other
       python  modules. If the extension_modules option in your Salt master configuration is set,
       Salt will look for a pillar directory under there and  load  all  the  modules  it  finds.
       Otherwise, it will look in your Python site-packages salt/pillar directory.

   Configuration
       The  external pillars that are called when a minion refreshes its pillars is controlled by
       the ext_pillar option in the Salt master configuration. You can pass a single argument,  a
       list of arguments or a dictionary of arguments to your pillar:

          ext_pillar:
            - example_a: some argument
            - example_b:
              - argumentA
              - argumentB
            - example_c:
                keyA: valueA
                keyB: valueB

   The Module
   Imports and Logging
       Import modules your external pillar module needs. You should first include generic modules
       that come with stock Python:

          import logging

       And then start logging. This is an idiomatic way of setting up logging in Salt:

          log = logging.getLogger(__name__)

       Finally, load modules that are specific to what you are doing.  You  should  catch  import
       errors and set a flag that the __virtual__ function can use later.

          try:
              import weird_thing

              EXAMPLE_A_LOADED = True
          except ImportError:
              EXAMPLE_A_LOADED = False

   Options
       If  you  define  an  __opts__  dictionary,  it will be merged into the __opts__ dictionary
       handed to the ext_pillar function later. This is a good place to put default configuration
       items. The convention is to name things modulename.option.

          __opts__ = {"example_a.someconfig": 137}

   Initialization
       If you define an __init__ function, it will be called with the following signature:

          def __init__(__opts__):
              # Do init work here
              ...

       Note:  The  __init__  function  is  ran every time a particular minion causes the external
       pillar to  be  called,  so  don't  put  heavy  initialization  code  here.   The  __init__
       functionality  is  a side-effect of the Salt loader, so it may not be as useful in pillars
       as it is in other Salt items.

   __virtual__
       If you define a __virtual__ function, you can  control  whether  or  not  this  module  is
       visible.  If  it returns False then Salt ignores this module. If it returns a string, then
       that  string  will  be  how  Salt  identifies  this  external  pillar  in  its  ext_pillar
       configuration.  If  you're  not renaming the module, simply return True in the __virtual__
       function, which is the same as if this function did  not  exist,  then,  the  name  Salt's
       ext_pillar will use to identify this module is its conventional name in Python.

       This  is  useful to write modules that can be installed on all Salt masters, but will only
       be visible if a particular piece of software your module requires is installed.

          # This external pillar will be known as `example_a`
          def __virtual__():
              if EXAMPLE_A_LOADED:
                  return True
              return False

          # This external pillar will be known as `something_else`
          __virtualname__ = "something_else"

          def __virtual__():
              if EXAMPLE_A_LOADED:
                  return __virtualname__
              return False

   ext_pillar
       This is where the real work of an external pillar is done. If this module  is  active  and
       has  a  function  called ext_pillar, whenever a minion updates its pillar this function is
       called.

       How it is called depends on how it is configured in the  Salt  master  configuration.  The
       first  argument  is  always the current pillar dictionary, this contains pillar items that
       have already been added, starting with the data  from  pillar_roots,  and  then  from  any
       already-ran external pillars.

       Using our example above:

          ext_pillar(id, pillar, "some argument")  # example_a
          ext_pillar(id, pillar, "argumentA", "argumentB")  # example_b
          ext_pillar(id, pillar, keyA="valueA", keyB="valueB")  # example_c

       In  the  example_a case, pillar will contain the items from the pillar_roots, in example_b
       pillar  will contain that plus the items added by example_a, and in example_c pillar  will
       contain that plus the items added by example_b. In all three cases, id will contain the ID
       of the minion making the pillar request.

       This function should return a dictionary, the contents of which are merged in with all  of
       the  other pillars and returned to the minion. Note: this function is called once for each
       minion that fetches its pillar data.

          def ext_pillar(minion_id, pillar, *args, **kwargs):

              my_pillar = {"external_pillar": {}}

              my_pillar["external_pillar"] = get_external_pillar_dictionary()

              return my_pillar

       You can call pillar with the dictionary's top name  to  retrieve  its  data.   From  above
       example, 'external_pillar' is the top dictionary name. Therefore:

          salt '*' pillar.get external_pillar

       You  shouldn't  just  add  items  to pillar and return that, since that will cause Salt to
       merge data that already exists. Rather, just return the items you are adding or  changing.
       You  could,  however, use pillar in your module to make some decision based on pillar data
       that already exists.

       This function has access to some useful globals:

       __opts__
              A dictionary  of  mostly  Salt  configuration  options.  If  you  had  an  __opts__
              dictionary defined in your module, those values will be included.

       __salt__
              A  dictionary  of  Salt  module  functions,  useful  so you don't have to duplicate
              functions that already exist. E.g.  __salt__['cmd.run']( 'ls -l' )  Note,  runs  on
              the master

       __grains__
              A dictionary of the grains of the minion making this pillar call.

   Example configuration
       As  an example, if you wanted to add external pillar via the cmd_json external pillar, add
       something like this to your master config:

          ext_pillar:
            - cmd_json: 'echo {\"arg\":\"value\"}'

   Reminder
       Just as with traditional pillars, external pillars must be refreshed in order for  minions
       to see any fresh data:

          salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar

       Used  to  define optional external pillar systems. The pillar generated via the filesystem
       pillar is passed into external pillars. This is commonly used as a bridge to database data
       for pillar, but is also the backend to the libvirt state used to generate and sign libvirt
       certificates on the fly.

   Proxy
       Proxy Minions are a way to manage devices that cannot run a full minion directly.

   Renderers
       Renderers are the system used to render  sls  files  into  salt  highdata  for  the  state
       compiler. They can be as simple as the py renderer and as complex as stateconf and pydsl.

   Returners
       Returners  are  used  to send data from minions to external sources, commonly databases. A
       full returner will implement all routines to be supported as an external  job  cache.  Use
       the redis returner as an example.

   Roster
       The Roster system is used by Salt SSH to enumerate devices.

   Runners
       Runners are purely master-side execution sequences.

   SDB
       • Writing SDB Modules

       SDB  is a way to store data that's not associated with a minion. See Storing Data in Other
       Databases.

   Serializer
       Primarily used with file.serialize.

   State
       State modules are used to define the state interfaces used by Salt States.  These  modules
       are restrictive in that they must follow a number of rules to function properly.

       NOTE:
          State  modules  define  the  available  routines  in sls files. If calling an execution
          module directly is desired, take a look at the module state.

   SSH Wrapper
   SSH Wrapper
   Salt-SSH Background
       Salt-SSH works by creating a tar ball of salt, a bunch of python modules, and a  generated
       short  minion  config.  It  then copies this onto the destination host over ssh, then uses
       that host's local python install to run salt-client --local with  any  requested  modules.
       It  does  not  automatically  copy over states or cache files and since it is uses a local
       file_client, modules that rely on cp.cache* functionality do not work.

   SSH Wrapper modules
       To support cp modules or other functionality which might not otherwise work in the  remote
       environment,  a  wrapper module can be created. These modules are run from the salt-master
       initiating the salt-ssh command and can include logic to support the needed functionality.
       SSH Wrapper modules are located in /salt/client/ssh/wrapper/ and are named the same as the
       execution module being extended. Any functions defined inside of the  wrapper  module  are
       called  from  the  salt-ssh  module.function argument command rather than executing on the
       minion.

   State Module example
       Running salt states on an salt-ssh minion, obviously requires the state files  themselves.
       To support this, a state module wrapper script exists at salt/client/ssh/wrapper/state.py,
       and includes standard state functions like  apply,  sls,  and  highstate.  When  executing
       salt-ssh minion state.highstate, these wrapper functions are used and include the logic to
       walk the low_state output for that minion to determine files used,  gather  needed  files,
       tar  them  together,  transfer the tar file to the minion over ssh, and run a state on the
       ssh minion. This state then extracts the tar file, applies the needed states and data, and
       cleans up the transferred files.

   Wrapper Handling
       From  the  wrapper  script  any invocations of __salt__['some.module']() do not run on the
       master which is running the wrapper, but instead magically are invoked on the minion  over
       ssh.   Should the function being called exist in the wrapper, the wrapper function will be
       used instead.

       One way of supporting this workflow may be to create a wrapper function which performs the
       needed  file copy operations. Now that files are resident on the ssh minion, the next step
       is to run the original execution module function. But since that function name was already
       overridden  by  the  wrapper,  a  function  alias can be created in the original execution
       module, which can then be called from the wrapper.

   Example
       The saltcheck module needs sls and tst files on the minion to function. The invocation  of
       saltcheck.run_state_tests  is  run  from  the  wrapper  module,  and  is  responsible  for
       performing the needed file copy. The saltcheck execution module includes an alias line  of
       run_state_tests_ssh         =         salt.utils.functools.alias_function(run_state_tests,
       'run_state_tests_ssh')  which  creates  an  alias  of  run_state_tests   with   the   name
       run_state_tests_ssh.  At the end of the run_state_tests function in the wrapper module, it
       then calls __salt__['saltcheck.run_state_tests_ssh'](). Since this function does not exist
       in the wrapper script, the call is made on the remote minion, which then having the needed
       files, runs as expected.

       Replacement execution modules for Salt SSH.

   Thorium
       Modules for use in the Thorium event reactor.

   Tokens
       Token stores for External Authentication. See the salt.tokens docstring for details.

       NOTE:
          The runner to load tokens modules is saltutil.sync_eauth_tokens.

   Tops
       Tops modules are used to convert external data sources into top file data  for  the  state
       system.

   Util
       Just utility modules to use with other modules via __utils__ (see Dunder Dictionaries).

   Wheel
       The  wheel  system  is  used to manage master side management routines. These routines are
       primarily intended for the API to enable master configuration.

   Salt Extend
       salt-extend is a templating tool for extending SaltStack.  If  you're  looking  to  add  a
       module to SaltStack, then the salt-extend utility can guide you through the process.

       You  can  use Salt Extend to quickly create templated modules for adding new behaviours to
       some of the module subsystems within Salt.

       Salt Extend takes a template  directory  and  merges  it  into  a  SaltStack  source  code
       directory.

   Command line usage
       See salt-extend

   Choosing a template
       The following templates are available:

   module
       Creates a new execution module within salt/modules/{{module_name}}.py

   module_unit
       Creates      a      new      execution      module      unit     test     suite     within
       tests/unit/modules/test_{{module_name}}.py

   state
       Creates a new state module within salt/states/{{module_name}}.py

   state_unit
       Creates      a      new      state      module      unit      test      suite       within
       tests/unit/states/test_{{module_name}}.py

   Adding templates
       1. Create a directory under <src>/templates

       2. Create a file template.yml containing properties for

          • description - a description of the template

          • questions  -  a  collection  of additional questions to ask the user, the name of the
            item will be used as the key in the context dictionary within the jinja template.

            • question - The question to ask the user, as a string

            • default - (optional) the default value, can contain Jinja2 template syntax and  has
              access to the default context properties

   Example template.yml
          description: "Execution module"
          questions:
              depending_libraries:
                  question: "What libraries does this module depend upon?"
              virtual_name:
                  question: "What module virtual name to use?"
                  default: "{{module_name}}"

       3. Create the files within <src>/templates/<your template> to match the target

       NOTE:
          File names can contain Jinja 2 template syntax, e.g. '{{module_name}}.py}}'

   Example file in the template directory
          print("Hello {{module_name}}")
          __virtual__ = "{{__virtual_name__}}"

   Default context properties
       The default context provides the following properties

       • description - A description of the template

       • short_description - A short description of the module as entered by the user

       • version - The version name of the next release

       • module_name - The module name as entered by the user

       • release_date - The current date in the format YYYY-MM-DDyear - The current year in the format YYYY

       As well as any additional properties entered from the questions section of template.yml

   Salt's Test Suite
       Salt comes with a powerful  integration  and  unit  test  suite  allowing  for  the  fully
       automated  run  of  integration  and/or  unit  tests  from a single interface. It uses the
       combination of pytest, nox and Kitchen Salt to run these tests. Nox is used to manage  all
       of  the  test  python  dependencies.   When  you run the test runner with nox, you will be
       installing the same python dependencies that we use to run  our  test  suite  on  PRs  and
       branch  tests.   Kitchen  Salt is used to spin up our virtual machines based off of golden
       images. These virtual machines use the salt-jenkins sls states  to  configure  any  system
       dependencies.

       To  learn  the basics of how Salt's test suite works, be sure to check out the Salt's Test
       Suite: An Introduction tutorial.

   Nox
       Nox is used to manage all of the python dependencies used in the test suite and  spins  up
       the different nox sessions. You can look at the noxfile.py in the salt repo to view all of
       the current nox configurations. In that file you will notice various  nox  sessions.  When
       creating  each  of  these  sessions,  nox  will  create  a  virtualenv  with the specified
       interpreter. Once the virtualenv is created it will  also  install  all  of  the  required
       python dependencies required for that session and run the tests.

       For  example if you want to run all of the tests using the zeromq transport on python3 you
       would need to specify the zeromq transport and python3.

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       To run all the tests but on the tcp transport, you would need to specify the tcp session.

          nox -e 'pytest-tcp-3(coverage=False)'

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-tcp-3(coverage=False)'

       You can view all available sessions by running:

          nox --list-sessions

       For the most part you will only need nox to run the test suite, as this tool will  install
       the  exact same python dependencies we use to run on our test runs.  The exception to this
       is when a system dependency is required, for example mysql.  These system dependencies are
       installed with sls states managed in the salt-jenkins repo or you can manually install the
       dependency yourself.

   System Dependencies
       The   system   dependencies   are   installed   from   the    salt-jenkins    repo.    The
       golden-images-provision  state is what is run to determine what dependencies to install on
       which platform.  We run this state only when we want to update our current VM images  with
       new dependencies.

   Kitchen Salt
       We  also  use  Kitchen  Salt  to  spin  up  the  VM's  used  for testing. You can view the
       kitchen-salt getting started for instructions on how to install and set  it  up.   Kitchen
       Salt uses Test Kitchen to spin up the VM or container in the configured provider. Once the
       VM is spun up, Kitchen Salt can install salt and run a particular set of  states.  In  the
       case  of  our  branch  and  PR  tests we create "Golden Images" which run the salt-jenkins
       states and install salt system dependencies  beforehand.  We  only  update  these  "Golden
       Images"  when  we  need  to  upgrade  or  install  a  system  dependency. You can view the
       kitchen-salt jenkins setup docs for instructions on how to set up Kitchen Salt similar  to
       the jenkins environment we use to run branch and PR tests.

   Test Directory Structure
       Salt's test suite is located in the tests/ directory in the root of Salt's codebase.

       With  the  migration  to  PyTest, Salt has created a separate directory for tests that are
       written taking advantage of the  full  pottential  of  PyTest.  These  are  located  under
       tests/pytests.

       As for the old test suite, it is divided into two main groups:

       • Integration Tests

       • Unit Tests

       Within  each  of  these  groups,  the directory structure roughly mirrors the structure of
       Salt's own codebase. Notice that there  are  directories  for  states,  modules,  runners,
       output, and more in each testing group.

       The  files  that are housed in the modules directory of either the unit or the integration
       testing factions contain respective integration or unit  test  files  for  Salt  execution
       modules.

       The  PyTest  only tests under tests/pytests should, more or less, follow the same grouping
       as the old test suite.

   Integration Tests
       The Integration section of Salt's test suite start up a number of  Salt  daemons  to  test
       functionality  in  a live environment. These daemons include two Salt Masters, one Syndic,
       and two Minions.  This  allows  the  Syndic  interface  to  be  tested  and  Master/Minion
       communication  to  be  verified.  All  of  the integration tests are executed as live Salt
       commands sent through the started daemons.

       Integration tests are particularly good at testing modules, states,  and  shell  commands,
       among  other  segments  of  Salt's  ecosystem.  By utilizing the integration test daemons,
       integration tests are easy to write. They are also SaltStack's generally preferred  method
       of adding new tests.

       The  discussion  in the Integration vs. Unit section of the testing tutorial is beneficial
       in learning why you might want to write integration tests vs.  unit  tests.  Both  testing
       arenas  add  value to Salt's test suite and you should consider adding both types of tests
       if possible and appropriate when contributing to Salt.

       • Integration Test Documentation

   Unit Tests
       Unit tests do not spin up any Salt daemons,  but  instead  find  their  value  in  testing
       singular  implementations  of  individual  functions.  Instead of testing against specific
       interactions, unit tests should be used to test a function's logic as well as  any  return
       or raises statements.  Unit tests also rely heavily on mocking external resources.

       The  discussion  in  the Integration vs. Unit section of the testing tutorial is useful in
       determining when you should consider writing unit tests instead of,  or  in  addition  to,
       integration tests when contributing to Salt.

       • Unit Test Documentation

   Running The Tests
       There  is  only  one  requirement  to  install, to quickly get started running salt's test
       suite: nox.

          pip install nox

       Once this requirement is installed, you can use the nox binary to run  all  of  the  tests
       included in Salt's test suite:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'

       For more information about options you can pass the test runner, see the --help option:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --help

   Running Test Subsections
       Instead  of  running  the entire test suite all at once, which can take a long time, there
       are several ways to run only specific groups of tests or individual tests:

       • Run unit tests only: nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/, using  the
         deprecated  runtests.py  the command would be nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'
         -- --unit-tests

       • Run unit and integration tests for states: nox -e  'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'  --
         tests/unit/states/  tests/integration/states/,  using  the  deprecated  runtests.py  the
         command would be nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --state-tests

       • Run integration tests for an individual module: nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'
         --  tests/integration/modules/test_virt.py, using the deprecated runtests.py the command
         would be nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- -n integration.modules.test_virt

       • Run unit tests for an individual module:  nox  -e  'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'  --
         tests/unit/modules/test_virt.py,  using  the deprecated runtests.py the command would be
         nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- -n unit.modules.test_virt

       • Run an individual test by using the class  and  test  name  (this  example  is  for  the
         test_default_kvm_profile  test  in  the  tests/integration/module/test_virt.py):  nox -e
         'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'                                                     --
         tests/integration/modules/test_virt.py::VirtTest::test_default_kvm_profile,   using  the
         deprecated runtests.py the command would be nox  -e  'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)'
         -- -n integration.modules.test_virt.VirtTest.test_default_kvm_profile

       For  more  specific  examples  of how to run various test subsections or individual tests,
       please see the pytest documentation on how to run specific tests or the  Running  Specific
       Tests section of the Salt's Test Suite: An Introduction tutorial.

   Running Unit Tests Without Integration Test Daemons
       Since  the  unit tests do not require a master or minion to execute, it is often useful to
       be able to run unit tests individually, or as a whole group, without having  to  start  up
       the  integration testing daemons. Starting up the master, minion, and syndic daemons takes
       a lot of time before the tests can even start running  and  is  unnecessary  to  run  unit
       tests.  To  run  unit  tests without invoking the integration test daemons, simply add the
       unit directory as an argument:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- tests/unit/

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --unit-tests

       All of the other options to run individual tests, entire classes of tests, or entire  test
       modules still apply.

   Running Destructive Integration Tests
       Salt  is used to change the settings and behavior of systems. In order to effectively test
       Salt's functionality, some integration tests are written to make  actual  changes  to  the
       underlying  system.  These  tests are referred to as "destructive tests". Some examples of
       destructive tests are changes may  be  testing  the  addition  of  a  user  or  installing
       packages. By default, destructive tests are disabled and will be skipped.

       Generally, destructive tests should clean up after themselves by attempting to restore the
       system to its original state. For instance, if a new user is created during  a  test,  the
       user  should  be  deleted after the related test(s) have completed. However, no guarantees
       are made that test clean-up will complete  successfully.  Therefore,  running  destructive
       tests should be done with caution.

       NOTE:
          Running  destructive tests will change the underlying system.  Use caution when running
          destructive tests.

       To run tests marked as destructive, set the --run-destructive flag:

          nox -e 'pytest-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --run-destructive

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-zeromq-3(coverage=False)' -- --run-destructive

   Running Cloud Provider Tests
       Salt's testing suite also includes integration tests to assess the successful creation and
       deletion of cloud instances using Salt-Cloud for providers supported by Salt-Cloud.

       The cloud provider tests are off by default and run on sample configuration files provided
       in tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.providers.d/. In order to  run  the  cloud  provider
       tests,  valid  credentials,  which  differ per provider, must be supplied. Each credential
       item that must be supplied is indicated by an empty string value and should be  edited  by
       the  user before running the tests. For example, DigitalOcean requires a client key and an
       api key  to  operate.  Therefore,  the  default  cloud  provider  configuration  file  for
       DigitalOcean looks like this:

          digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            client_key: ''
            api_key: ''
            location: New York 1

       As indicated by the empty string values, the client_key and the api_key must be provided:

          digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            client_key: wFGEwgregeqw3435gDger
            api_key: GDE43t43REGTrkilg43934t34qT43t4dgegerGEgg
            location: New York 1

       NOTE:
          When  providing  credential  information  in cloud provider configuration files, do not
          include the single quotes.

       Once all of the valid credentials for the cloud provider have  been  supplied,  the  cloud
       provider tests can be run by setting the --cloud-provider-tests flag:

          nox -e 'pytest-cloud-3(coverage=False)'

       As a contrast, when using the deprecated runtests.py test runner, the command would be:

          nox -e 'runtests-cloud-3(coverage=False)'

   Automated Test Runs
       SaltStack  maintains a Jenkins server to allow for the execution of tests across supported
       platforms. The tests executed from Salt's Jenkins server create fresh virtual machines for
       each test run, then execute destructive tests on the new, clean virtual machine.

       SaltStack's  Jenkins server continuously runs the entire test suite, including destructive
       tests, on an array of  various  supported  operating  systems  throughout  the  day.  Each
       actively  supported  branch  of Salt's repository runs the tests located in the respective
       branch's code. Each set of branch tests also includes a pylint  run.  These  branch  tests
       help  ensure  the  viability  of Salt code at any given point in time as pull requests are
       merged into branches throughout the day.

       In addition to branch tests, SaltStack's Jenkins server also runs tests on pull  requests.
       These  pull request tests include a smaller set of virtual machines that run on the branch
       tests. The pull request tests, like the branch tests, include a pylint test as well.

       When a pull request is submitted to Salt's repository on GitHub, the suite of pull request
       tests  are  started by Jenkins. These tests are used to gauge the pull request's viability
       to merge into Salt's codebase. If these initial tests pass,  the  pull  request  can  then
       merged into the Salt branch by one of Salt's core developers, pending their discretion. If
       the initial tests fail, core developers may request changes to the pull  request.  If  the
       failure  is  unrelated  to  the  changes  in  question, core developers may merge the pull
       request despite the initial failure.

       As soon as the pull request is merged, the changes will be added to the next  branch  test
       run on Jenkins.

       For    a    full    list    of    currently    running    test    environments,    go   to
       https://jenkins.saltproject.io.

   Using Salt-Cloud on Jenkins
       For testing Salt on Jenkins, SaltStack uses Salt-Cloud to spin up  virtual  machines.  The
       script  using  Salt-Cloud  to  accomplish  this  is  open  source  and  can be found here:
       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/tests/jenkins.py

   Writing Tests
       The salt testing infrastructure is divided into two classes of  tests,  integration  tests
       and  unit  tests.  These  terms may be defined differently in other contexts, but for Salt
       they are defined this way:

       • Unit Test: Tests which validate  isolated  code  blocks  and  do  not  require  external
         interfaces such as salt-call or any of the salt daemons.

       • Integration Test: Tests which validate externally accessible features.

       Salt testing uses unittest2 from the python standard library and MagicMock.

       • Writing integration tests

       • Writing unit tests

   Naming Conventions
       Any  function in either integration test files or unit test files that is doing the actual
       testing, such as functions containing assertions, must start with test_:

          def test_user_present(self):
              ...

       When functions in test files are not prepended with test_, the function acts as a  normal,
       helper function and is not run as a test by the test suite.

   Submitting New Tests
       Which  branch  of  the  Salt codebase should new tests be written against? The location of
       where new tests should be submitted depends largely  on  the  reason  you're  writing  the
       tests.

   Tests for New Features
       If  you  are adding new functionality to Salt, please write the tests for this new feature
       in the same pull request as the new feature. New features should always  be  submitted  to
       the master branch.

       If  you  have  already  submitted the new feature, but did not write tests in the original
       pull request that has already been merged, please feel free to submit a new  pull  request
       containing  tests.  If  the  feature  was recently added to Salt's master branch, then the
       tests should be added there as well. However, if the feature was added to master some time
       ago  and is already present in one or more release branches, please refer to the Tests for
       Entire Files or Functions section below for more details about where to submit  tests  for
       functions or files that do not already have tests.

   Tests to Accompany a Bugfix
       If  you are writing tests for code that fixes a bug in Salt, tests will be required before
       merging the PR. A great option for most bugfixes is to adopt a TDD style approach:

       • reproduce the issue

       • write a test that exhibits the behavior

       • write the bugfix

       This helps ensure that known issues are not reintroduced into the codebase.

   Tests for Entire Files or Functions
       Sometimes entire files in Salt are completely untested. If you are  writing  tests  for  a
       file  that  doesn't  have  any  tests written for it, write your test against the earliest
       supported release branch that contains the file or function you're testing.

       Once your tests are submitted in a pull request and is merged into the branch in question,
       the  tests  you wrote will be merged-forward by SaltStack core engineers and the new tests
       will propagate to the newer release branches. That way the tests you wrote will  apply  to
       all  current  and  relevant release branches, and not just the master branch, for example.
       This methodology will help protect against regressions on older files in Salt's codebase.

       There may be times when  the  tests  you  write  against  an  older  branch  fail  in  the
       merge-forward  process  because  functionality  has changed in newer release branches.  In
       these cases, a Salt core developer may reach out  to  you  for  advice  on  the  tests  in
       question if the path forward is unclear.

       NOTE:
          If tests are written against a file in an older release branch and then merged forward,
          there may be new functionality in the file that is present in the  new  release  branch
          that  is  untested.It  would  be  wise to see if new functionality could use additional
          testing once the test file has propagated to newer release branches.

   Module/Global Level Variables
       If you need access to module or global level variables, please use a pytest  fixture.  The
       use  of  module  and  global  variables can introduce mutable global objects and increases
       processing time because all globals are evaluated when collecting tests. If there is a use
       case  where you cannot use a fixture and you are using a type of string, integer, or tuple
       you  can  use  global/module  level  variables.  Any  mutable  types  such  as  lists  and
       dictionaries must use pytest fixtures. For an example, if all of your tests need access to
       a string variable:

          FOO = "bar"

          def test_foo_bar():
              assert FOO == "bar"

          def test_foo_not():
              assert not FOO == "foo"

       We recommend using a pytest fixture:

          import pytest

          @pytest.fixture()
          def foo():
              return "bar"

          def test_foo_bar(foo):
              assert foo == "bar"

          def test_foo_not(foo):
              assert not foo == "foo"

       If you need a class to mock something, it can be defined  at  the  global  scope,  but  it
       should only be initialized on the fixture:

          class Foo:
              def __init__(self):
                  self.bar = True

          @pytest.fixture
          def foo():
              return Foo()

   Test Helpers
       Several  Salt-specific  helpers  are  available.  A  full  list is available by inspecting
       functions exported in tests.support.helpers.

       @expensiveTest -- Designates a test which typically requires a relatively costly  external
       resource,  like a cloud virtual machine. This decorator is not normally used by developers
       outside of the Salt core team.

       @destructiveTest -- Marks a test as potentially destructive. It will not  be  run  by  the
       test runner unless the -run-destructive test is expressly passed.

       @requires_network  --  Requires a network connection for the test to operate successfully.
       If a network connection is not detected, the test will not run.

       @requires_salt_modules -- Requires all the modules in a list of modules in order  for  the
       test to be executed. Otherwise, the test is skipped.

       @requires_system_grains  --  Loads  and  passes  the  grains  on  the system as an keyword
       argument to the test function with the name grains.

       @skip_if_binaries_missing(['list', 'of', 'binaries']) -- If called from inside a test, the
       test will be skipped if the binaries are not all present on the system.

       @skip_if_not_root -- If the test is not executed as root, it will be skipped.

       @with_system_user  --  Creates  and  optionally destroys a system user within a test case.
       See implementation details in tests.support.helpers for details.

       @with_system_group -- Creates and optionally destroys a system group within a  test  case.
       See implementation details in tests.support.helpers for details.

       @with_system_user_and_group  --  Creates  and  optionally destroys a system user and group
       within a test case.  See implementation details in tests.support.helpers for details.

   Integration Tests
       The Salt integration tests come with a number of  classes  and  methods  which  allow  for
       components  to  be  easily  tested. These classes are generally inherited from and provide
       specific methods for hooking into the running integration test environment created by  the
       integration tests.

       It  is noteworthy that since integration tests validate against a running environment that
       they are generally the preferred means to write tests.

       The integration system is all located under tests/integration in  the  Salt  source  tree.
       Each  directory  within  tests/integration  corresponds  to  a  directory  in  Salt's tree
       structure. For example, the integration tests for the test.py Salt module that is  located
       in salt/modules should also be named test.py and reside in tests/integration/modules.

   Preparing to Write Integration Tests
       This  guide  assumes that your Salt development environment is already configured and that
       you have a basic understanding of contributing to the Salt codebase.  If you're unfamiliar
       with  either  of these topics, please refer to the Installing Salt for Development and the
       Contributing pages, respectively.

       This documentation also assumes that you have an understanding of how to run  Salt's  test
       suite, including running the test subsections, and running a single integration test file,
       class, or individual test.

   Best Practices
       Integration tests should be written to the following specifications.

   What to Test?
       Since integration  tests  are  used  to  validate  against  a  running  Salt  environment,
       integration  tests  should  be  written  with  the  Salt  components,  and  their  various
       interactions, in mind.

       • Isolate testing functionality. Don't rely on the pass  or  failure  of  other,  separate
         tests.

       • Individual tests should test against a single behavior.

       • Since  it  occasionally  takes  some  effort  to  "set up" an individual test, it may be
         necessary to call several functions within a single test. However, be sure that once the
         work  has  been  done  to set up a test, make sure you are clear about the functionality
         that is being tested.

   Naming Conventions
       Test names and docstrings should  indicate  what  functionality  is  being  tested.   Test
       functions  are  named  test_<fcn>_<test-name> where <fcn> is the function being tested and
       <test-name> describes the behavior being tested.

       In order for integration tests to get picked up during a  run  of  the  test  suite,  each
       individual test must be prepended with the test_ naming syntax, as described above.

       If a function does not start with test_, then the function acts as a "normal" function and
       is not considered a testing function. It will not be included in the test run  or  testing
       output.

   The setUp and tearDown Functions
       There  are  two  special  functions that can be utilized in the integration side of Salt's
       test suite: setUp and tearDown. While these functions are not required in all test  files,
       there are many examples in Salt's integration test suite illustrating the broad usefulness
       of each function.

       The setUp function is used to set up any repetitive or useful tasks that the  tests  in  a
       test  class  need  before  running. For example, any of the mac_* integration tests should
       only run on macOS machines. The setUp function can be used to test for the presence of the
       Darwin kernel. If the Darwin kernel is not present, then the test should be skipped.

          def setUp(self):
              """
              Sets up test requirements
              """
              os_grain = self.run_function("grains.item", ["kernel"])
              if os_grain["kernel"] not in "Darwin":
                  self.skipTest("Test not applicable to '{kernel}' kernel".format(**os_grain))

       The  setUp  function  can  be  used  for  many  things. The above code snippet is only one
       example. Another example might be to ensure that a particular setting  is  present  before
       running tests that would require the setting.

       The  tearDown  function  is  used to clean up after any tests. This function is useful for
       restoring any settings that might have been changed during the test run.

       NOTE:
          The setUp and tearDown functions run before and after each test in the test class  that
          the setUp and tearDown functions are defined.

       Be  sure  to  read the Destructive vs Non-Destructive Tests section when using any kind of
       destructive functions that might alter the system running the test  suite  in  either  the
       setUp or tearDown function definitions.

   Testing Order
       The  test  functions  within  a  test class do not run in the order they were defined, but
       instead run in lexicographical order.

       Note that if any setUp or tearDown functions are defined in  the  class,  those  functions
       will run before (for setUp) or after (for tearDown) each test case.

   Integration Classes
       The  integration  classes are located in tests/integration/__init__.py and can be extended
       therein. There are four classes available to extend:

       • ModuleCaseShellCaseSSHCaseSyndicCase

   ModuleCase
       Used to define executions run via the master to minions and to  call  single  modules  and
       states. The available testing functions are:

   run_function
       Run  a single salt function and condition the return down to match the behavior of the raw
       function call. This will run the command and only return the results from a single  minion
       to verify.

   run_state
       Run the state.single command and return the state return structure.

   minion_run
       Run  a  single salt function on the 'minion' target and condition the return down to match
       the behavior of the raw function call.

   ShellCase
       Shell out to the scripts which ship with Salt. The testing functions are:

   run_cp
       Execute salt-cp. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_call
       Execute salt-call, pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command line.

   run_cloud
       Execute the salt-cloud command. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed  on  the
       command line.

   run_key
       Execute  the  salt-key  command.  Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the
       command line.

   run_run
       Execute the salt-run command. Pass in the argument string as it would  be  passed  on  the
       command line.

   run_run_plus
       Execute the runner function the and return the return data and output in a dict

   run_salt
       Execute the salt command. Pass in the argument string as it would be passed on the command
       line.

   run_script
       Execute a salt script with the given argument string.

   run_ssh
       Execute the salt-ssh. Pass in the argument string as it would be  passed  on  the  command
       line.

   SSHCase
       Used to execute remote commands via salt-ssh. The available methods are as follows:

   run_function
       Run  a  single  salt  function  via  salt-ssh  and  condition the return down to match the
       behavior of the raw function call. This will run the command and only return  the  results
       from a single minion to verify.

   SyndicCase
       Used  to  execute remote commands via a syndic and is only used to verify the capabilities
       of the Salt Syndic. The available methods are as follows:

   run_function
       Run a single salt function and condition the return down to match the behavior of the  raw
       function  call. This will run the command and only return the results from a single minion
       to verify.

   Examples
       The following sections define simple integration tests present in Salt's integration  test
       suite for each type of testing class.

   Module Example via ModuleCase Class
       Import the integration module, this module is already added to the python path by the test
       execution. Inherit from the integration.ModuleCase class.

       Now the workhorse method run_function can be used to test a module:

          import os
          from tests.support.case import ModuleCase

          class TestModuleTest(ModuleCase):
              """
              Validate the test module
              """

              def test_ping(self):
                  """
                  test.ping
                  """
                  self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

              def test_echo(self):
                  """
                  test.echo
                  """
                  self.assertEqual(self.run_function("test.echo", ["text"]), "text")

       The fist example illustrates the testing master issuing a  test.ping  call  to  a  testing
       minion. The test asserts that the minion returned with a True value to the master from the
       test.ping call.

       The second example similarly verifies that the minion executed the test.echo command  with
       the  text  argument.  The  assertEqual call maintains that the minion ran the function and
       returned the data as expected to the master.

   Shell Example via ShellCase
       Validating the shell commands can be done via shell tests:

          import sys
          import shutil
          import tempfile

          from tests.support.case import ShellCase

          class KeyTest(ShellCase):
              """
              Test salt-key script
              """

              _call_binary_ = "salt-key"

              def test_list(self):
                  """
                  test salt-key -L
                  """
                  data = self.run_key("-L")
                  expect = [
                      "Unaccepted Keys:",
                      "Accepted Keys:",
                      "minion",
                      "sub_minion",
                      "Rejected:",
                      "",
                  ]
                  self.assertEqual(data, expect)

       This example verifies that the salt-key command executes and returns as expected by making
       use of the run_key method.

   SSH Example via SSHCase
       Testing salt-ssh functionality can be done using the SSHCase test class:

          from tests.support.case import SSHCase

          class SSHGrainsTest(SSHCase):
              """
              Test salt-ssh grains functionality
              Depend on proper environment set by integration.SSHCase class
              """

              def test_grains_id(self):
                  """
                  Test salt-ssh grains id work for localhost.
                  """
                  cmd = self.run_function("grains.get", ["id"])
                  self.assertEqual(cmd, "localhost")

   Testing Event System via SaltMinionEventAssertsMixin
       The fundamentially asynchronous nature of Salt makes testing the event system a challenge.
       The SaltMinionEventAssertsMixin provides a facility for testing that events were  received
       on a minion event bus.

          import salt.utils.event
          from tests.support.mixins import SaltEventAssertsMixin

          class TestEvent(SaltEventAssertsMixin):
              """
              Example test of firing an event and receiving it
              """

              def test_event(self):
                  e = salt.utils.event.get_event(
                      "minion", sock_dir=self.minion_opts["sock_dir"], opts=self.minion_opts
                  )

                  e.fire_event({"a": "b"}, "/test_event")

                  self.assertMinionEventReceived({"a": "b"})

   Syndic Example via SyndicCase
       Testing Salt's Syndic can be done via the SyndicCase test class:

          from tests.support.case import SyndicCase

          class TestSyndic(SyndicCase):
              """
              Validate the syndic interface by testing the test module
              """

              def test_ping(self):
                  """
                  test.ping
                  """
                  self.assertTrue(self.run_function("test.ping"))

       This  example  verifies  that  a  test.ping  command is issued from the testing master, is
       passed through to the testing syndic, down to the minion, and back up again by  using  the
       run_function located with in the SyndicCase test class.

   Integration Test Files
       Since  using  Salt largely involves configuring states, editing files, and changing system
       data, the integration test suite contains a  directory  named  files  to  aid  in  testing
       functions  that  require  files. Various Salt integration tests use these example files to
       test against instead of altering system files and data.

       Each directory within tests/integration/files  contain  files  that  accomplish  different
       tasks,  based  on  the  needs  of  the  integration tests using those files.  For example,
       tests/integration/files/ssh is used to bootstrap the test  runner  for  salt-ssh  testing,
       while  tests/integration/files/pillar  contains  files storing data needed to test various
       pillar functions.

       The tests/integration/files directory  also  includes  an  integration  state  tree.   The
       integration state tree can be found at tests/integration/files/file/base.

       The  following  example  demonstrates how integration files can be used with ModuleCase to
       test states:

          # Import python libs
          from __future__ import absolute_import
          import os
          import shutil

          # Import Salt Testing libs
          from tests.support.case import ModuleCase
          from tests.support.paths import FILES, TMP
          from tests.support.mixins import SaltReturnAssertsMixin

          # Import salt libs
          import salt.utils.files

          HFILE = os.path.join(TMP, "hosts")

          class HostTest(ModuleCase, SaltReturnAssertsMixin):
              """
              Validate the host state
              """

              def setUp(self):
                  shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(FILES, "hosts"), HFILE)
                  super(HostTest, self).setUp()

              def tearDown(self):
                  if os.path.exists(HFILE):
                      os.remove(HFILE)
                  super(HostTest, self).tearDown()

              def test_present(self):
                  """
                  host.present
                  """
                  name = "spam.bacon"
                  ip = "10.10.10.10"
                  ret = self.run_state("host.present", name=name, ip=ip)
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)
                  with salt.utils.files.fopen(HFILE) as fp_:
                      output = fp_.read()
                      self.assertIn("{0}\t\t{1}".format(ip, name), output)

       To  access   the   integration   files,   a   variable   named   FILES   points   to   the
       tests/integration/files  directory.  This  is  where  the referenced host.present sls file
       resides.

       In addition to the static files in the integration state tree, the location TMP  can  also
       be  used  to  store  temporary files that the test system will clean up when the execution
       finishes.

   Destructive vs Non-Destructive Tests
       Since Salt is used to change the settings and behavior of systems, one testing approach is
       to  run tests that make actual changes to the underlying system. This is where the concept
       of destructive integration tests comes into play. Tests can be written to alter the system
       they  are  running  on.  This  capability is what fills in the gap needed to properly test
       aspects of system management like package installation.

       Any test that changes the underlying system in any  way,  such  as  creating  or  deleting
       users,  installing  packages,  or  changing  permissions  should  include the @destructive
       decorator to signal system changes  and  should  be  written  with  care.  System  changes
       executed  within  a  destructive  test should also be restored once the related tests have
       completed. For example, if a new user is created to test a module, the same user should be
       removed after the test is completed to maintain system integrity.

       To  write  a  destructive test, import, and use the destructiveTest decorator for the test
       method:

          from tests.support.case import ModuleCase
          from tests.support.helpers import destructiveTest, skip_if_not_root

          class DestructiveExampleModuleTest(ModuleCase):
              """
              Demonstrate a destructive test
              """

              @destructiveTest
              @skip_if_not_root
              def test_user_not_present(self):
                  """
                  This is a DESTRUCTIVE TEST it creates a new user on the minion.
                  And then destroys that user.
                  """
                  ret = self.run_state("user.present", name="salt_test")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)
                  ret = self.run_state("user.absent", name="salt_test")
                  self.assertSaltTrueReturn(ret)

   Cloud Provider Tests
       Cloud provider integration tests are used to assess Salt-Cloud's  ability  to  create  and
       destroy  cloud  instances  for  various  supported  cloud providers.  Cloud provider tests
       inherit from the ShellCase Integration Class.

       Any    new    cloud    provider    test    files    should     be     added     to     the
       tests/integration/cloud/providers/  directory. Each cloud provider test file also requires
       a sample cloud profile and cloud provider configuration file in the integration test  file
       directory located at tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.*.d/.

       The  following  is an example of the default profile configuration file for Digital Ocean,
       located at: tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.profiles.d/digitalocean.conf:

          digitalocean-test:
            provider: digitalocean-config
            image: Ubuntu 14.04 x64
            size: 512MB

       Each cloud provider requires different  configuration  credentials.  Therefore,  sensitive
       information  such  as  API  keys  or  passwords  should be omitted from the cloud provider
       configuration file and replaced with an empty string. The  necessary  credentials  can  be
       provided by the user by editing the provider configuration file before running the tests.

       The  following is an example of the default provider configuration file for Digital Ocean,
       located at: tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.providers.d/digitalocean.conf:

          digitalocean-config:
            driver: digitalocean
            client_key: ''
            api_key: ''
            location: New York 1

       In addition to providing the necessary cloud profile and provider files in the integration
       test  suite  file  structure,  appropriate checks for if the configuration files exist and
       contain valid information are also required in the test class's setUp function:

          from tests.support.case import ShellCase
          from tests.support.paths import FILES

          class LinodeTest(ShellCase):
              """
              Integration tests for the Linode cloud provider in Salt-Cloud
              """

              def setUp(self):
                  """
                  Sets up the test requirements
                  """
                  super(LinodeTest, self).setUp()

                  # check if appropriate cloud provider and profile files are present
                  profile_str = "linode-config:"
                  provider = "linode"
                  providers = self.run_cloud("--list-providers")
                  if profile_str not in providers:
                      self.skipTest(
                          "Configuration file for {0} was not found. Check {0}.conf files "
                          "in tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.*.d/ to run these tests.".format(
                              provider
                          )
                      )

                  # check if apikey and password are present
                  path = os.path.join(FILES, "conf", "cloud.providers.d", provider + ".conf")
                  config = cloud_providers_config(path)
                  api = config["linode-config"]["linode"]["apikey"]
                  password = config["linode-config"]["linode"]["password"]
                  if api == "" or password == "":
                      self.skipTest(
                          "An api key and password must be provided to run these tests. Check "
                          "tests/integration/files/conf/cloud.providers.d/{0}.conf".format(
                              provider
                          )
                      )

       Repeatedly creating and destroying instances on cloud providers can be costly.  Therefore,
       cloud  provider  tests  are  off by default and do not run automatically. To run the cloud
       provider tests, the --cloud-provider-tests flag must be provided:

          ./tests/runtests.py --cloud-provider-tests

       Since cloud provider tests do not run automatically, all provider tests must  be  preceded
       with  the  @expensiveTest  decorator. The expensive test decorator is necessary because it
       signals to the test suite that the --cloud-provider-tests flag  is  required  to  run  the
       cloud provider tests.

       To  write  a cloud provider test, import, and use the expensiveTest decorator for the test
       function:

          from tests.support.helpers import expensiveTest

          @expensiveTest
          def test_instance(self):
              """
              Test creating an instance on Linode
              """
              name = "linode-testing"

              # create the instance
              instance = self.run_cloud("-p linode-test {0}".format(name))
              str = "        {0}".format(name)

              # check if instance with salt installed returned as expected
              try:
                  self.assertIn(str, instance)
              except AssertionError:
                  self.run_cloud("-d {0} --assume-yes".format(name))
                  raise

              # delete the instance
              delete = self.run_cloud("-d {0} --assume-yes".format(name))
              str = "            True"
              try:
                  self.assertIn(str, delete)
              except AssertionError:
                  raise

   Adding New Directories
       If the corresponding Salt directory does  not  exist  within  tests/integration,  the  new
       directory  must be created along with the appropriate test file to maintain Salt's testing
       directory structure.

       In order for Salt's test suite to recognize tests  within  the  newly  created  directory,
       options  to  run the new integration tests must be added to tests/runtests.py. Examples of
       the    necessary    options    that    must    be    added    can    be    found     here:

   Writing Unit Tests
   Introduction
       Like many software projects, Salt has two broad-based testing  approaches  --  integration
       testing  and  unit  testing.  While integration testing focuses on the interaction between
       components in a sandboxed environment, unit testing focuses on the singular implementation
       of individual functions.

       Unit  tests  should  be  used  specifically to test a function's logic. Unit tests rely on
       mocking external resources.

       While unit tests are good for ensuring consistent results, they are most useful when  they
       do  not  require  more  than  a  few mocks. Effort should be made to mock as many external
       resources as possible.  This  effort  is  encouraged,  but  not  required.  Sometimes  the
       isolation provided by completely mocking the external dependencies is not worth the effort
       of mocking those dependencies.

       In these cases, requiring an external library to be installed on the system before running
       the test file is a useful way to strike this balance.  For example, the unit tests for the
       MySQL execution module require the presence of the MySQL python  bindings  on  the  system
       running the test file before proceeding to run the tests.

       Overly  detailed  mocking can also result in decreased test readability and brittleness as
       the tests are more likely to fail when the code or its dependencies  legitimately  change.
       In these cases, it is better to add dependencies to the test runner dependency state.

   Preparing to Write a Unit Test
       This  guide  assumes that your Salt development environment is already configured and that
       you have a basic understanding of contributing to the Salt codebase.  If you're unfamiliar
       with  either  of these topics, please refer to the Installing Salt for Development and the
       Contributing pages, respectively.

       This documentation also assumes that you have an understanding of how to run  Salt's  test
       suite,  including running the unit test subsection, running the unit tests without testing
       daemons to speed up development wait times, and  running  a  unit  test  file,  class,  or
       individual test.

   Best Practices
       Unit tests should be written to the following specifications.

   What to Test?
       Since  unit  testing  focuses on the singular implementation of individual functions, unit
       tests should be used specifically to test a function's  logic.  The  following  guidelines
       should be followed when writing unit tests for Salt's test suite:

       • Each raise and return statement needs to be independently tested.

       • Isolate  testing  functionality.  Don't  rely  on the pass or failure of other, separate
         tests.

       • Test functions should contain only one assertion, at most, multiple  assertions  can  be
         made, but against the same outcome.

       • Many Salt execution modules are merely wrappers for distribution-specific functionality.
         If there isn't any logic present in a  simple  execution  module,  consider  writing  an
         integration test instead of heavily mocking a call to an external dependency.

   Mocking Test Data
       A  reasonable  effort  needs  to be made to mock external resources used in the code being
       tested, such as APIs, function calls, external data either globally available or passed in
       through function arguments, file data, etc.

       • Test  functions  should  contain only one assertion and all necessary mock code and data
         for that assertion.

       • External resources should be mocked in order to "block all of  the  exits".  If  a  test
         function  fails  because  something in an external library wasn't mocked properly (or at
         all), this test is not addressing all of the "exits" a function may experience. We  want
         the Salt code and logic to be tested, specifically.

       • Consider the fragility and longevity of a test. If the test is so tightly coupled to the
         code being tested, this makes a test unnecessarily fragile.

       • Make sure you are not mocking the function to be tested  so  vigorously  that  the  test
         return  merely  tests  the mocked output. The test should always be testing a function's
         logic.

   Mocking Loader Modules
       Salt loader modules use  a  series  of  globally  available  dunder  variables,  __salt__,
       __opts__, __pillar__, etc. To facilitate testing these modules pytest-salt-factories has a
       plugin which will prepare the module globals by patching and mocking the dunders prior  to
       running   each   test,   as   long   as   the   test   module   defines  a  fixture  named
       configure_loader_modules. Check out the code for the pytest-salt-factories plugin to  know
       how it's internals work.

       The  reason  for  the existence of this plugin is because historically one would add these
       dunder variables directly on the imported module.  This,  however,  introduces  unexpected
       behavior when running the full test suite since those attributes would not be removed once
       we were done testing the module and would therefore leak to  other  modules  being  tested
       with  unpredictable results. This is the kind of work that should be deferred to mock, and
       that's exactly what this plugin provides.

       As an example, if one needs to specify some options  which  should  be  available  to  the
       module being tested one should do:

          import pytest
          import salt.modules.somemodule as somemodule

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              """
              This fixture should return a dictionary which is what's going to be used to
              patch and mock Salt's loader
              """
              return {somemodule: {"__opts__": {"test": True}}}

       Consider this more extensive example from tests/pytests/unit/beacons/test_sensehat.py:

          import pytest
          import salt.beacons.sensehat as sensehat
          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              return {
                  sensehat: {
                      "__salt__": {
                          "sensehat.get_humidity": MagicMock(return_value=80),
                          "sensehat.get_temperature": MagicMock(return_value=30),
                          "sensehat.get_pressure": MagicMock(return_value=1500),
                      },
                  }
              }

          def test_non_list_config():
              config = {}

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)

              assert ret == (False, "Configuration for sensehat beacon must be a list.")

          def test_empty_config():
              config = [{}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)

              assert ret == (False, "Configuration for sensehat beacon requires sensors.")

          def test_sensehat_humidity_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"humidity": "70%"}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/humidity", "humidity": 80}]

          def test_sensehat_temperature_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"temperature": 20}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/temperature", "temperature": 30}]

          def test_sensehat_temperature_match_range():

              config = [{"sensors": {"temperature": [20, 29]}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/temperature", "temperature": 30}]

          def test_sensehat_pressure_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"pressure": "1400"}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == [{"tag": "sensehat/pressure", "pressure": 1500}]

          def test_sensehat_no_match():

              config = [{"sensors": {"pressure": "1600"}}]

              ret = sensehat.validate(config)
              assert ret == (True, "Valid beacon configuration")

              ret = sensehat.beacon(config)
              assert ret == []

       What  happens  in  the  above  example  is we mock several calls of the sensehat module to
       return known expected values to assert against.

   Mocking Filehandles
       NOTE:
          This documentation applies  to  the  2018.3  release  cycle  and  newer.  The  extended
          functionality  for  mock_open  described  below  does not exist in the 2017.7 and older
          release branches.

       Opening files in Salt is done using salt.utils.files.fopen(). When testing code that reads
       from  files,  the  mock_open  helper can be used to mock filehandles. Note that is not the
       same mock_open as unittest.mock.mock_open() from the Python standard library, but rather a
       separate implementation which has additional functionality.

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data="foo\nbar\nbaz\n")
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  result = mymod.myfunc()
                  assert result is True

       This will force any filehandle opened to mimic a filehandle which, when read, produces the
       specified contents.

       IMPORTANT:
          String Types

          When configuring your read_data,  make  sure  that  you  are  using  bytestrings  (e.g.
          b"foo\nbar\nbaz\n") when the code you are testing is opening a file for binary reading,
          otherwise the tests will fail.  The mocked filehandles produced by mock_open will raise
          a  TypeError  if  you attempt to read a bytestring when opening for non-binary reading,
          and similarly will not let you read a string when opening a file  for  binary  reading.
          They  will  also  not  permit  bytestrings to be "written" if the mocked filehandle was
          opened for non-binary writing, and vice-versa when opened for non-binary writing. These
          enhancements force test writers to write more accurate tests.

   More Complex Scenarios
   Multiple File Paths
       What  happens  when  the code being tested reads from more than one file? For those cases,
       you can pass read_data as a dictionary:

          import textwrap

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              contents = {
                  "/etc/foo.conf": textwrap.dedent(
                      """\
                      foo
                      bar
                      baz
                      """
                  ),
                  "/etc/b*.conf": textwrap.dedent(
                      """\
                      one
                      two
                      three
                      """
                  ),
              }
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=contents)
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  result = mymod.myfunc()
                  assert result is True

       This would make  salt.utils.files.fopen()  produce  filehandles  with  different  contents
       depending  on which file was being opened by the code being tested.  /etc/foo.conf and any
       file matching the pattern /etc/b*.conf would work, while  opening  any  other  path  would
       result in a FileNotFoundError being raised.

       Since  file  patterns  are  supported,  it is possible to use a pattern of '*' to define a
       fallback if no other patterns match the filename being opened.  The  below  two  mock_open
       calls would produce identical results:

          mock_open(read_data="foo\n")
          mock_open(read_data={"*": "foo\n"})

       NOTE:
          Take  care  when  specifying the read_data as a dictionary, in cases where the patterns
          overlap  (e.g.  when  both  /etc/b*.conf  and  /etc/bar.conf  are  in  the  read_data).
          Dictionary  iteration  order  will  determine which pattern is attempted first, second,
          etc., with the exception of * which is used when no other pattern matches. If your test
          case  calls  for specifying overlapping patterns, and you are not running Python 3.6 or
          newer, then an OrderedDict can be used to ensure matching is  handled  in  the  desired
          way:

              contents = OrderedDict()
              contents["/etc/bar.conf"] = "foo\nbar\nbaz\n"
              contents["/etc/b*.conf"] = IOError(errno.EACCES, "Permission denied")
              contents["*"] = 'This is a fallback for files not beginning with "/etc/b"\n'
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=contents)

   Raising Exceptions
       Instead of a string, an exception can also be used as the read_data:

          import errno

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              exc = IOError(errno.EACCES, "Permission denied")
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=exc)
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  mymod.myfunc()

       The  above  example  would  raise  the  specified  exception when any file is opened.  The
       expectation would be that mymod.myfunc() would gracefully handle the IOError, so a failure
       to do that would result in it being raised and causing the test to fail.

   Multiple File Contents
       For  cases  in  which  a  file is being read more than once, and it is necessary to test a
       function's behavior based on what the file looks like the second (or third, etc.) time  it
       is  read, just specify the contents for that file as a list. Each time the file is opened,
       mock_open will cycle through the list and produce a mocked filehandle with  the  specified
       contents. For example:

          import errno
          import textwrap

          from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open

          import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

          def test_something():
              contents = {
                  "/etc/foo.conf": [
                      textwrap.dedent(
                          """\
                          foo
                          bar
                          """
                      ),
                      textwrap.dedent(
                          """\
                          foo
                          bar
                          baz
                          """
                      ),
                  ],
                  "/etc/b*.conf": [
                      IOError(errno.ENOENT, "No such file or directory"),
                      textwrap.dedent(
                          """\
                          one
                          two
                          three
                          """
                      ),
                  ],
              }
              fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data=contents)
              with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock):
                  result = mymod.myfunc()
                  assert result is True

       Using  this  example, the first time /etc/foo.conf is opened, it will simulate a file with
       the first string in the list as its contents, while the second  time  it  is  opened,  the
       simulated file's contents will be the second string in the list.

       If  no  more  items  remain  in  the  list,  then attempting to open the file will raise a
       RuntimeError. In the example above, if /etc/foo.conf were to be opened  a  third  time,  a
       RuntimeError would be raised.

       Note  that  exceptions can also be mixed in with strings when using this technique. In the
       above example, if /etc/bar.conf were to be opened twice, the first time would simulate the
       file  not existing, while the second time would simulate a file with string defined in the
       second element of the list.

       NOTE:
          Notice that the second path in the contents dictionary above (/etc/b*.conf) contains an
          asterisk.  The  items  in the list are cycled through for each match of a given pattern
          (not separately for each individual file path), so  this  means  that  only  two  files
          matching that pattern could be opened before the next one would raise a RuntimeError.

   Accessing the Mocked Filehandles in a Test
       NOTE:
          The code for the MockOpen, MockCall, and MockFH classes (referenced below) can be found
          in  tests/support/mock.py.  There  are  extensive  unit  tests  for  them  located   in
          tests/unit/test_mock.py.

       The above examples simply show how to mock salt.utils.files.fopen() to simulate files with
       the contents you desire, but you can also access the mocked filehandles  (and  more),  and
       use  them to craft assertions in your tests. To do so, just add an as clause to the end of
       the patch statement:

          fopen_mock = mock_open(read_data="foo\nbar\nbaz\n")
          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", fopen_mock) as m_open:
              # do testing here
              ...
              ...

       When doing this, m_open will be a  MockOpen  instance.  It  will  contain  several  useful
       attributes:

       • read_data  - A dictionary containing the read_data passed when mock_open was invoked. In
         the event that multiple file paths are not used, then this will be a dictionary  mapping
         * to the read_data passed to mock_open.

       • call_count  - An integer representing how many times salt.utils.files.fopen() was called
         to open a file.

       • calls - A list of MockCall objects. A MockCall object is a simple class which stores the
         arguments  passed  to  it,  making  the  positional  arguments  available  via  its args
         attribute, and the keyword arguments available via its kwargs attribute.

            from tests.support.mock import patch, mock_open, MockCall

            import salt.modules.mymod as mymod

            def test_something():

                with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=b"foo\n")) as m_open:
                    mymod.myfunc()
                    # Assert that only two opens attempted
                    assert m_open.call_count == 2
                    # Assert that only /etc/foo.conf was opened
                    assert all(call.args[0] == "/etc/foo.conf" for call in m_open.calls)
                    # Asser that the first open was for binary read, and the
                    # second was for binary write.
                    assert m_open.calls == [
                        MockCall("/etc/foo.conf", "rb"),
                        MockCall("/etc/foo.conf", "wb"),
                    ]

         Note that MockCall is imported from tests.support.mock in the above example.  Also,  the
         second  assert  above is redundant since it is covered in the final assert, but both are
         included simply as an example.

       • filehandles - A dictionary mapping the unique file paths  opened,  to  lists  of  MockFH
         objects.  Each  open  creates  a  unique  MockFH object. Each MockFH object itself has a
         number of useful attributes:

         • filename - The path to the file which was opened using salt.utils.files.fopen()call   -   A    MockCall    object    representing    the    arguments    passed    to
           salt.utils.files.fopen().  Note  that  this  MockCall  is also available in the parent
           MockOpen instance's calls list.

         • The following methods are mocked using unittest.mock.Mock objects, and Mock's built-in
           asserts  (as  well  as  the  call  data)  can be used as you would with any other Mock
           object:

           • .read().readlines().readline().close().write().writelines().seek()

         • The read functions (.read(), .readlines(), .readline()) all work as expected, as  does
           iterating through the file line by line (i.e.  for line in fh:).

         • The  .tell()  method is also implemented in such a way that it updates after each time
           the mocked filehandle is read, and will report the correct position.  The  one  caveat
           here  is  that .seek() doesn't actually work (it's simply mocked), and will not change
           the position. Additionally, neither .write() or .writelines() will modify  the  mocked
           filehandle's contents.

         • The  attributes  .write_calls  and .writelines_calls (no parenthesis) are available as
           shorthands and correspond to lists containing the contents passed  for  all  calls  to
           .write() and .writelines(), respectively.

   Examples
          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=contents)) as m_open:
              # Run the code you are unit testing
              mymod.myfunc()
              # Check that only the expected file was opened, and that it was opened
              # only once.
              assert m_open.call_count == 1
              assert list(m_open.filehandles) == ["/etc/foo.conf"]
              # "opens" will be a list of all the mocked filehandles opened
              opens = m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"]
              # Check that we wrote the expected lines ("expected" here is assumed to
              # be a list of strings)
              assert opens[0].write_calls == expected

          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=contents)) as m_open:
              # Run the code you are unit testing
              mymod.myfunc()
              # Check that .readlines() was called (remember, it's a Mock)
              m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"][0].readlines.assert_called()

          with patch("salt.utils.files.fopen", mock_open(read_data=contents)) as m_open:
              # Run the code you are unit testing
              mymod.myfunc()
              # Check that we read the file and also wrote to it
              m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"][0].read.assert_called_once()
              m_open.filehandles["/etc/foo.conf"][1].writelines.assert_called_once()

   Naming Conventions
       Test  names  and  docstrings  should  indicate  what  functionality is being tested.  Test
       functions are named test_<fcn>_<test-name> where <fcn> is the function  being  tested  and
       <test-name> describes the raise or return being tested.

       Unit    tests    for    salt/.../<module>.py    are    contained    in   a   file   called
       tests/pytests/unit/.../test_<module>.py, e.g. the tests  for  salt/modules/alternatives.py
       are in tests/pytests/unit/modules/test_alternatives.py.

       In  order  for  unit tests to get picked up during a run of the unit test suite, each unit
       test file must be prefixed with test_ and each individual test must also be prefixed  with
       the test_ naming syntax, as described above.

       If a function does not start with test_, then the function acts as a "normal" function and
       is not considered a testing function. It will not be included in the test run  or  testing
       output.  The  same  principle  applies  to  unit test files that do not have the test_*.py
       naming syntax. This test file naming convention is how the test runner recognizes  that  a
       test file contains tests.

   Imports
       Most commonly, the following imports are necessary to create a unit test:

          import pytest

       If you need mock support to your tests, please also import:

          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock, patch, call

   Evaluating Truth
       A  longer  discussion  on  the  types  of  assertions one can make can be found by reading
       PyTest's documentation on assertions.

   Tests Using Mock Objects
       In many cases, the purpose of a Salt module is to  interact  with  some  external  system,
       whether  it  be to control a database, manipulate files on a filesystem or something else.
       In these varied cases, it's necessary to design a unit test which can  test  the  function
       whilst  replacing  functions  which might actually call out to external systems. One might
       think of this as "blocking the exits" for code under tests and redirecting  the  calls  to
       external systems with our own code which produces known results during the duration of the
       test.

       To achieve this behavior, Salt makes heavy use of the MagicMock package.

       To understand how one might integrate Mock into  writing  a  unit  test  for  Salt,  let's
       imagine  a  scenario in which we're testing an execution module that's designed to operate
       on a database.  Furthermore,  let's  imagine  two  separate  methods,  here  presented  in
       pseduo-code in an imaginary execution module called 'db.py'.

          def create_user(username):
              qry = "CREATE USER {0}".format(username)
              execute_query(qry)

          def execute_query(qry):
              # Connect to a database and actually do the query...
              ...

       Here,  let's  imagine  that we want to create a unit test for the create_user function. In
       doing so, we want to avoid any calls out to an external system and so while we are running
       our  unit tests, we want to replace the actual interaction with a database with a function
       that can capture the parameters sent to it and return pre-defined values.  Therefore,  our
       task  is  clear -- to write a unit test which tests the functionality of create_user while
       also replacing 'execute_query' with a mocked function.

       To begin, we set up the skeleton of our test much like we did before, but with  additional
       imports for MagicMock:

          from salt.modules import db
          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock, patch, call

          def test_create_user():
              """
              Test creating a user
              """
              # First, we replace 'execute_query' with our own mock function
              with patch.object(db, "execute_query", MagicMock()) as db_exq:

                  # Now that the exits are blocked, we can run the function under test.
                  db.create_user("testuser")

                  # We could now query our mock object to see which calls were made
                  # to it.
                  ## print db_exq.mock_calls

                  # Construct a call object that simulates the way we expected
                  # execute_query to have been called.
                  expected_call = call("CREATE USER testuser")

                  # Compare the expected call with the list of actual calls.  The
                  # test will succeed or fail depending on the output of this
                  # assertion.
                  db_exq.assert_has_calls(expected_call)

   Modifying __salt__ In Place
       At  times,  it  becomes necessary to make modifications to a module's view of functions in
       its own __salt__ dictionary.  Luckily, this process is quite easy.

       Below is an example that uses MagicMock's patch functionality to insert  a  function  into
       __salt__ that's actually a MagicMock instance.

          import pytest
          import salt.modules.my_module as my_module

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              """
              This fixture should return a dictionary which is what's going to be used to
              patch and mock Salt's loader
              """
              return {my_module: {}}

          def show_patch(self):
              with patch.dict(my_module.__salt__, {"function.to_replace": MagicMock()}):
                  # From this scope, carry on with testing, with a modified __salt__!
                  ...

   A Simple Example
       Let's  assume  that  we're  testing  a  very basic function in an imaginary Salt execution
       module. Given a module called fib.py that has a function called calculate(num_of_results),
       which  given  a  num_of_results,  produces  a list of sequential Fibonacci numbers of that
       length.

       A  unit  test  to  test  this  function  might  be  commonly  placed  in  a  file   called
       tests/pytests/unit/modules/test_fib.py.  The  convention  is  to place unit tests for Salt
       execution modules in test/pytests/unit/modules/ and to name the tests module prefixed with
       test_*.py.

       Tests  are  grouped around test cases, which are logically grouped sets of tests against a
       piece of functionality in the tested software. To return to our  example,  here's  how  we
       might write the skeleton for testing fib.py:

          import salt.modules.fib as fib

          def test_fib():
              """
              To create a unit test, we should prefix the name with `test_' so
              that it's recognized by the test runner.
              """
              fib_five = (0, 1, 1, 2, 3)
              assert fib.calculate(5) == fib_five

       At  this point, the test can now be run, either individually or as a part of a full run of
       the test runner. To ease development, a single test can be executed:

          nox -e 'pytest-3(coverage=False)' -- -v tests/pytests/unit/modules/test_fib.py

       This will report the status of  the  test:  success,  failure,  or  error.   The  -v  flag
       increases output verbosity.

       To  review  the  results of a particular run, take a note of the log location given in the
       output for each test run:

          ...etc... --log-file=artifacts/logs/runtests-20210106103414.685791.log ...etc...

   A More Complete Example
       Consider the following function from salt/modules/linux_sysctl.py.

          def get(name):
              """
              Return a single sysctl parameter for this minion

              CLI Example:

              .. code-block:: bash

                  salt '*' sysctl.get net.ipv4.ip_forward
              """
              cmd = "sysctl -n {}".format(name)
              out = __salt__["cmd.run"](cmd, python_shell=False)
              return out

       This function is very simple, comprising only four source lines of code  and  having  only
       one  return  statement,  so we know only one test is needed.  There are also two inputs to
       the function, the name function argument and the call to  __salt__['cmd.run'](),  both  of
       which need to be appropriately mocked.

       Mocking  a  function  parameter  is  straightforward, whereas mocking a function call will
       require, in this case, the use of MagicMock.  For added isolation, we will  also  redefine
       the __salt__ dictionary such that it only contains 'cmd.run'.

          import pytest
          import salt.modules.linux_sysictl as linux_sysctl
          from tests.support.mock import MagicMock, patch

          @pytest.fixture
          def configure_loader_modules():
              return {linux_sysctl: {}}

          def test_get():
              """
              Tests the return of get function
              """
              mock_cmd = MagicMock(return_value=1)
              with patch.dict(linux_sysctl.__salt__, {"cmd.run": mock_cmd}):
                  assert linux_sysctl.get("net.ipv4.ip_forward") == 1

       Since  get()  has  only  one  raise  or  return  statement and that statement is a success
       condition, the test function  is  simply  named  test_get().   As  described,  the  single
       function  call  parameter, name is mocked with net.ipv4.ip_forward and __salt__['cmd.run']
       is replaced by a MagicMock function object.  We are only interested in the return value of
       __salt__['cmd.run'], which MagicMock allows us by specifying via return_value=1.  Finally,
       the test itself tests for equality between the return value  of  get()  and  the  expected
       return  of  1.   This  assertion  is  expected to succeed because get() will determine its
       return value from __salt__['cmd.run'], which we have mocked to return 1.

   A Complex Example
       Now consider the assign() function from the same salt/modules/linux_sysctl.py source file.

          def assign(name, value):
              """
              Assign a single sysctl parameter for this minion

              CLI Example:

              .. code-block:: bash

                  salt '*' sysctl.assign net.ipv4.ip_forward 1
              """
              value = str(value)

              tran_tab = name.translate("".maketrans("./", "/."))

              sysctl_file = "/proc/sys/{}".format(tran_tab)
              if not os.path.exists(sysctl_file):
                  raise CommandExecutionError("sysctl {} does not exist".format(name))

              ret = {}
              cmd = 'sysctl -w {}="{}"'.format(name, value)
              data = __salt__["cmd.run_all"](cmd, python_shell=False)
              out = data["stdout"]
              err = data["stderr"]

              # Example:
              #    # sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_rmem="4096 87380 16777216"
              #    net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 87380 16777216
              regex = re.compile(r"^{}\s+=\s+{}$".format(re.escape(name), re.escape(value)))

              if not regex.match(out) or "Invalid argument" in str(err):
                  if data["retcode"] != 0 and err:
                      error = err
                  else:
                      error = out
                  raise CommandExecutionError("sysctl -w failed: {}".format(error))
              new_name, new_value = out.split(" = ", 1)
              ret[new_name] = new_value
              return ret

       This function contains two raise statements and one return statement, so we know  that  we
       will  need  (at  least) three tests.  It has two function arguments and many references to
       non-builtin functions.  In the tests below you will see that  MagicMock's  patch()  method
       may  be  used  as  a  context  manager  or  as a decorator. When patching the salt dunders
       however, please use the context manager approach.

       There are three test functions, one for each raise and  return  statement  in  the  source
       function.   Each  function  is self-contained and contains all and only the mocks and data
       needed to test the raise or return statement it is concerned with.

   SaltStack Git Policy
       The SaltStack team follows a git policy to maintain stability  and  consistency  with  the
       repository.

       The git policy has been developed to encourage contributions and make contributing to Salt
       as easy as possible. Code contributors to SaltStack projects DO  NOT  NEED  TO  READ  THIS
       DOCUMENT, because all contributions come into SaltStack via a single gateway to make it as
       easy as possible for contributors to give us code.

       The primary rule of git management in SaltStack is to make life easy on  contributors  and
       developers to send in code. Simplicity is always a goal!

   New Code Entry
       All new SaltStack code should be submitted against master.

   Release Branching
       SaltStack  maintains  two  types  of  releases,  Feature Releases and Point Releases (also
       commonly referred to as Bugfix Releases. A feature release is managed by incrementing  the
       first  or second release point number, so 2015.5.5 -> 2015.8.0 signifies a feature release
       and 2015.8.0 -> 2015.8.1 signifies a point release.

   Feature Release Branching
       Each feature release is maintained in  a  dedicated  git  branch  derived  from  the  last
       applicable  release  commit  on  develop. All file changes relevant to the feature release
       will be completed in the master branch prior  to  the  creation  of  the  feature  release
       branch. The feature release branch will be named after the relevant numbers to the feature
       release, which constitute the first two numbers. This means that the  release  branch  for
       the 2015.8.0 series is named 2015.8.

       A feature release branch is created with the following command:

          # git checkout -b 2015.8 # From the master branch
          # git push origin 2015.8

   Point Releases
       As documented in SEP 14, point releases should be rare.

   Salt Conventions
   Writing Salt Documentation
       Salt's  documentation is built using the Sphinx documentation system. It can be built in a
       large variety of output formats including HTML, PDF, ePub, and manpage.

       All the documentation is contained in the main Salt repository. Speaking broadly, most  of
       the        narrative        documentation        is       contained       within       the
       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/doc subdirectory and most of  the  reference
       and  API  documentation  is  written  inline with Salt's Python code and extracted using a
       Sphinx extension.

   Style
       The Salt project recommends the IEEE style  guide  as  a  general  reference  for  writing
       guidelines.  Those  guidelines  are not strictly enforced but rather serve as an excellent
       resource  for  technical  writing  questions.  The  NCBI  style  guide  is  another   very
       approachable resource.

   Point-of-view
       Use  third-person  perspective  and avoid "I", "we", "you" forms of address.  Identify the
       addressee specifically e.g., "users should", "the compiler does", etc.

   Active voice
       Use active voice and present-tense. Avoid filler words.

   Title capitalization
       Document  titles  and  section  titles  within  a  page  should  follow  normal   sentence
       capitalization  rules.  Words that are capitalized as part of a regular sentence should be
       capitalized in a title and otherwise left as lowercase. Punctuation can be omitted  unless
       it aids the intent of the title (e.g., exclamation points or question marks).

       For example:

          This is a main heading
          ======================

          Paragraph.

          This is an exciting sub-heading!
          --------------------------------

          Paragraph.

   Serial Commas
       According  to  Wikipedia:  In  English  punctuation,  a serial comma or series comma (also
       called Oxford  comma  and  Harvard  comma)  is  a  comma  placed  immediately  before  the
       coordinating  conjunction  (usually  "and",  "or",  or "nor") in a series of three or more
       terms. For example, a list of three countries  might  be  punctuated  either  as  "France,
       Italy,  and  Spain"  (with the serial comma), or as "France, Italy and Spain" (without the
       serial comma)."

       When writing a list that includes three or more items, the serial comma should  always  be
       used.

   Documenting modules
       Documentation  for  Salt's  various  module  types  is  inline  in  the  code.  During the
       documentation build process it is extracted and formatted into the final  HTML,  PDF,  etc
       format.

   Inline documentation
       Python has special multi-line strings called docstrings as the first element in a function
       or class. These strings allow documentation to live alongside the  code  and  can  contain
       special formatting. For example:

          def my_function(value):
              """
              Upper-case the given value

              Usage:

              .. code-block:: python

                  val = 'a string'
                  new_val = myfunction(val)
                  print(new_val) # 'A STRING'

              :param value: a string
              :return: a copy of ``value`` that has been upper-cased
              """
              return value.upper()

   Specify a release for additions or changes
       New  functions  or changes to existing functions should include a marker that denotes what
       Salt release will be affected. For example:

          def my_function(value):
              """
              Upper-case the given value

              .. versionadded:: 2014.7.0

              <...snip...>
              """
              return value.upper()

       For changes to a function:

          def my_function(value, strip=False):
              """
              Upper-case the given value

              .. versionchanged:: 2016.3.0
                  Added a flag to also strip whitespace from the string.

              <...snip...>
              """
              if strip:
                  return value.upper().strip()
              return value.upper()

   Adding module documentation to the index
       Each  module  type  has  an  index  listing  all  modules  of  that  type.  For   example:
       all-salt.modules,  all-salt.states,  all-salt.renderers.  New modules must be added to the
       index manually.

       1. Edit the file for the module type: execution modules, state modules, renderer  modules,
          etc.

       2. Add the new module to the alphebetized list.

       3. Build the documentation which will generate an .rst file for the new module in the same
          directory as the index.rst.

       4. Commit the changes to index.rst and the new .rst file and send a pull request.

   Cross-references
       The Sphinx documentation system contains a wide variety of cross-referencing capabilities.

   Glossary entries
       Link to glossary entries using the term role. A cross-reference should be added the  first
       time a Salt-specific term is used in a document.

          A common way to encapsulate master-side functionality is by writing a
          custom :term:`Runner Function`. Custom Runner Functions are easy to write.

   Index entries
       Sphinx  automatically generates many kinds of index entries, but it is occasionally useful
       to manually add items to the index.

       One method is to use the index directive above the document or section that should  appear
       in the index.

          .. index:: ! Event, event bus, event system
              see: Reactor; Event

       Another  method  is  to  use the index role inline with the text that should appear in the
       index. The index entry is created and the target text is left otherwise intact.

          Information about the :index:`Salt Reactor`
          -------------------------------------------

          Paragraph.

   Documents and sections
       Each document should contain a unique top-level label of the form:

          .. _my-page:

          My page
          =======

          Paragraph.

       Unique labels can be linked using the ref role. This allows  cross-references  to  survive
       document renames or movement.

          For more information see :ref:`my-page`.

       Note, the :doc: role should not be used to link documents together.

   Modules
       Cross-references  to  Salt  modules  can  be added using Sphinx's Python domain roles. For
       example, to create a link to the test.ping function:

          A useful execution module to test active communication with a minion is the
          :py:func:`test.ping <salt.modules.test.ping>` function.

       Salt modules can be referenced as well:

          The :py:mod:`test module <salt.modules.test>` contains many useful
          functions for inspecting an active Salt connection.

       The same syntax works for all modules types:

          One of the workhorse state module functions in Salt is the
          :py:func:`file.managed <salt.states.file.managed>` function.

   Settings
       Individual  settings  in  the  Salt  Master  or  Salt  Minion  configuration   files   are
       cross-referenced using two custom roles, conf_master, and conf_minion.

          The :conf_minion:`minion ID <id>` setting is a unique identifier for a
          single minion.

   Salt Formulas
       Formulas are pre-written Salt States. They are as open-ended as Salt States themselves and
       can be used for tasks such as installing a package, configuring, and starting  a  service,
       setting up users or permissions, and many other common tasks.

       All   official   Salt   Formulas   are   found   as   separate  Git  repositories  in  the
       "saltstack-formulas" organization on GitHub:

       https://github.com/saltstack-formulas

       As a simple example, to install the popular Apache web server (using the  normal  defaults
       for the underlying distro) simply include the apache-formula from a top file:

          base:
            'web*':
              - apache

   Installation
       Each  Salt  Formula  is  an individual Git repository designed as a drop-in addition to an
       existing Salt State tree. Formulas can be installed in the following ways.

   Adding a Formula as a GitFS remote
       One design goal of Salt's GitFS fileserver backend  was  to  facilitate  reusable  States.
       GitFS is a quick and natural way to use Formulas.

       1. Install any necessary dependencies and configure GitFS.

       2. Add  one  or  more  Formula repository URLs as remotes in the gitfs_remotes list in the
          Salt Master configuration file:

             gitfs_remotes:
               - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula
               - https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/memcached-formula

          We strongly recommend forking a formula repository into  your  own  GitHub  account  to
          avoid unexpected changes to your infrastructure.

          Many  Salt  Formulas are highly active repositories so pull new changes with care. Plus
          any additions you make to your fork can be easily sent back upstream with a quick  pull
          request!

       3. Restart the Salt master.

       Beginning with the 2018.3.0 release, using formulas with GitFS is now much more convenient
       for deployments which use many different fileserver environments  (i.e.  saltenvs).  Using
       the  all_saltenvs  parameter,  files  from  a  single  git  branch/tag  will appear in all
       environments.  See here for more information on this feature.

   Adding a Formula directory manually
       Formulas are simply directories that can be copied onto the local file system by using Git
       to  clone  the  repository  or  by  downloading and expanding a tarball or zip file of the
       repository. The directory structure is designed to work with file_roots in the Salt master
       configuration.

       1. Clone or download the repository into a directory:

             mkdir -p /srv/formulas
             cd /srv/formulas
             git clone https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula.git

             # or

             mkdir -p /srv/formulas
             cd /srv/formulas
             wget -O apache-formula-master.tar.gz https://github.com/saltstack-formulas/apache-formula/archive/master.tar.gz
             tar xf apache-formula-master.tar.gz

       2. Add the new directory to file_roots:

             file_roots:
               base:
                 - /srv/salt
                 - /srv/formulas/apache-formula

       3. Restart the Salt Master.

   Usage
       Each  Formula  is  intended  to  be  immediately  usable  with  sane  defaults without any
       additional configuration. Many formulas are also configurable by including data in Pillar;
       see the pillar.example file in each Formula repository for available options.

   Including a Formula in an existing State tree
       Formula may be included in an existing sls file. This is often useful when a state you are
       writing needs to require or extend a state defined in the formula.

       Here is an example of a state that uses the epel-formula in a  require  declaration  which
       directs  Salt to not install the python26 package until after the EPEL repository has also
       been installed:

          include:
            - epel

          python26:
            pkg.installed:
              - require:
                - pkg: epel

   Including a Formula from a Top File
       Some Formula perform completely standalone installations  that  are  not  referenced  from
       other  state  files.  It  is usually cleanest to include these Formula directly from a Top
       File.

       For example the easiest way to set up an OpenStack deployment on a single  machine  is  to
       include the openstack-standalone-formula directly from a top.sls file:

          base:
            'myopenstackmaster':
              - openstack

       Quickly  deploying OpenStack across several dedicated machines could also be done directly
       from a Top File and may look something like this:

          base:
            'controller':
              - openstack.horizon
              - openstack.keystone
            'hyper-*':
              - openstack.nova
              - openstack.glance
            'storage-*':
              - openstack.swift

   Configuring Formula using Pillar
       Salt Formulas are designed to work out  of  the  box  with  no  additional  configuration.
       However,  many  Formula support additional configuration and customization through Pillar.
       Examples of available options can be found in a file  named  pillar.example  in  the  root
       directory of each Formula repository.

   Using Formula with your own states
       Remember that Formula are regular Salt States and can be used with all Salt's normal state
       mechanisms.  Formula  can  be  required  from   other   States   with   requisites-require
       declarations,  they can be modified using extend, they can made to watch other states with
       requisites-watch-in.

       The following example uses the stock apache-formula alongside a custom state to  create  a
       vhost  on  a  Debian/Ubuntu  system and to reload the Apache service whenever the vhost is
       changed.

          # Include the stock, upstream apache formula.
          include:
            - apache

          # Use the watch_in requisite to cause the apache service state to reload
          # apache whenever the my-example-com-vhost state changes.
          my-example-com-vhost:
            file:
              - managed
              - name: /etc/apache2/sites-available/my-example-com
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       Don't be shy to read through the source for each Formula!

   Reporting problems & making additions
       Each Formula is a separate repository on GitHub. If you encounter a  bug  with  a  Formula
       please  file  an  issue  in  the respective repository! Send fixes and additions as a pull
       request. Add tips and tricks to the repository wiki.

   Writing Formulas
       Each Formula is a separate repository in the saltstack-formulas organization on GitHub.

   Get involved creating new Formulas
       The best way to create new Formula repositories for now is to create a repository in  your
       own account on GitHub and notify a SaltStack employee when it is ready. We will add you to
       the Contributors team on the saltstack-formulas organization and  help  you  transfer  the
       repository  over.   Ping  a  SaltStack  employee  on  IRC  (#salt on LiberaChat), join the
       #formulas channel on the salt-slack (bridged to #saltstack-formulas on LiberaChat) or send
       an  email  to  the  salt-users  mailing  list.   Note  that  IRC  logs  are  available  at
       https://freenode.logbot.info/salt,  https://freenode.logbot.info/saltstack-formulas,   and
       http://ngxbot.nginx.org/logs/%23salt/.

       There  are  a  lot  of  repositories  in  that organization! Team members can manage which
       repositories    they    are    subscribed    to     on     GitHub's     watching     page:
       https://github.com/watching.

       Members  of  the  Contributors  team are welcome to participate in reviewing pull requests
       across the Organization.  Some  repositories  will  have  regular  contributors  and  some
       repositories will not. As you get involved in a repository be sure to communicate with any
       other contributors there on pull requests that are large or have breaking changes.

       In general it is best to have another Contributor review and merge any pull requests  that
       you open. Feel free to at-mention other regular contributors to a repository and request a
       review. However, there are a lot of formula repositories so if a repository does  not  yet
       have  regular  contributors or if your pull request has stayed open for more than a couple
       days feel free to "selfie-merge" your own pull request.

   Style
       Maintainability, readability, and reusability are all marks of a good Salt sls file.  This
       section contains several suggestions and examples.

          # Deploy the stable master branch unless version overridden by passing
          # Pillar at the CLI or via the Reactor.

          deploy_myapp:
            git.latest:
              - name: git@github.com/myco/myapp.git
              - version: {{ salt.pillar.get('myapp:version', 'master') }}

   Use a descriptive State ID
       The  ID  of a state is used as a unique identifier that may be referenced via other states
       in requisites. It must be unique across the whole state tree (it is a key in a dictionary,
       after all).

       In  addition  a  state  ID should be descriptive and serve as a high-level hint of what it
       will do, or manage, or change. For example, deploy_webapp, or apache, or reload_firewall.

   Use module.function notation
       So-called "short-declaration" notation is preferred  for  referencing  state  modules  and
       state  functions.  It provides a consistent pattern of module.function shared between Salt
       States, the Reactor, Salt Mine, the Scheduler, as well as with the CLI.

          # Do
          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: httpd

          # Don't
          apache:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - name: httpd

       Salt's state compiler will transform "short-decs" into the longer  format  when  compiling
       the human-friendly highstate structure into the machine-friendly lowstate structure.

   Specify the name parameter
       Use  a  unique  and  permanent  identifier for the state ID and reserve name for data with
       variability.

       The name declaration is a required parameter for all state functions. The  state  ID  will
       implicitly be used as name if it is not explicitly set in the state.

       In  many  state  functions  the  name  parameter  is  used  for  data  that varies such as
       OS-specific package names, OS-specific file system paths, repository addresses,  etc.  Any
       time  the  ID  of  a  state  changes all references to that ID must also be changed. Use a
       permanent ID when writing a state the first time to future-proof that state and allow  for
       easier refactors down the road.

   Comment state files
       YAML allows comments at varying indentation levels. It is a good practice to comment state
       files. Use vertical whitespace to visually separate different concepts or actions.

          # Start with a high-level description of the current sls file.
          # Explain the scope of what it will do or manage.

          # Comment individual states as necessary.
          update_a_config_file:
            # Provide details on why an unusual choice was made. For example:
            #
            # This template is fetched from a third-party and does not fit our
            # company norm of using Jinja. This must be processed using Mako.
            file.managed:
              - name: /path/to/file.cfg
              - source: salt://path/to/file.cfg.template
              - template: mako

            # Provide a description or explanation that did not fit within the state
            # ID. For example:
            #
            # Update the application's last-deployed timestamp.
            # This is a workaround until Bob configures Jenkins to automate RPM
            # builds of the app.
            cmd.run:
              # FIXME: Joe needs this to run on Windows by next quarter. Switch these
              # from shell commands to Salt's file.managed and file.replace state
              # modules.
              - name: |
                  touch /path/to/file_last_updated
                  sed -e 's/foo/bar/g' /path/to/file_environment
              - onchanges:
                - file: a_config_file

       Be careful to use  Jinja  comments  for  commenting  Jinja  code  and  YAML  comments  for
       commenting YAML code.

          # BAD EXAMPLE
          # The Jinja in this YAML comment is still executed!
          # {% set apache_is_installed = 'apache' in salt.pkg.list_pkgs() %}

          # GOOD EXAMPLE
          # The Jinja in this Jinja comment will not be executed.
          {# {% set apache_is_installed = 'apache' in salt.pkg.list_pkgs() %} #}

   Easy on the Jinja!
       Jinja  templating provides vast flexibility and power when building Salt sls files. It can
       also create an unmaintainable tangle of logic and data. Speaking broadly,  Jinja  is  best
       used when kept apart from the states (as much as is possible).

       Below are guidelines and examples of how Jinja can be used effectively.

   Know the evaluation and execution order
       High-level  knowledge  of  how  Salt  states  are  compiled and run is useful when writing
       states.

       The default renderer setting in Salt is Jinja piped to YAML.  Each  is  a  separate  step.
       Each step is not aware of the previous or following step. Jinja is not YAML aware, YAML is
       not Jinja aware; they cannot share variables or interact.

       • Whatever the Jinja step produces must be valid YAML.

       • Whatever the YAML step produces must be a valid highstate data structure. (This is  also
         true of the final step for any of the alternate renderers in Salt.)

       • Highstate  can  be thought of as a human-friendly data structure; easy to write and easy
         to read.

       • Salt's state compiler validates the highstate and compiles it to low state.

       • Low state can be thought of as a machine-friendly  data  structure.  It  is  a  list  of
         dictionaries that each map directly to a function call.

       • Salt's  state  system  finally  starts  and  executes  on each "chunk" in the low state.
         Remember that requisites are evaluated at runtime.

       • The return for each function call is added to the  "running"  dictionary  which  is  the
         final output at the end of the state run.

       The full evaluation and execution order:

          Jinja -> YAML -> Highstate -> low state -> execution

   Avoid changing the underlying system with Jinja
       Avoid  calling  commands  from  Jinja  that change the underlying system. Commands run via
       Jinja do not respect Salt's dry-run mode (test=True)! This is usually in conflict with the
       idempotent nature of Salt states unless the command being run is also idempotent.

   Inspect the local system
       A  common  use  for  Jinja  in  Salt  states is to gather information about the underlying
       system. The grains dictionary available in the Jinja context is a great example of  common
       data  points that Salt itself has already gathered.  Less common values are often found by
       running commands. For example:

          {% set is_selinux_enabled = salt.cmd.run('sestatus') == '1' %}

       This is usually best done with a variable assignment in order to separate  the  data  from
       the state that will make use of the data.

   Gather external data
       One  of  the  most  common  uses  for  Jinja is to pull external data into the state file.
       External data can come from anywhere like API calls  or  database  queries,  but  it  most
       commonly comes from flat files on the file system or Pillar data from the Salt Master. For
       example:

          {% set some_data = salt.pillar.get('some_data', {'sane default': True}) %}

          {# or #}

          {% import_yaml 'path/to/file.yaml' as some_data %}

          {# or #}

          {% import_json 'path/to/file.json' as some_data %}

          {# or #}

          {% import_text 'path/to/ssh_key.pub' as ssh_pub_key %}

          {# or #}

          {% from 'path/to/other_file.jinja' import some_data with context %}

       This is usually best done with a variable assignment in order to separate  the  data  from
       the state that will make use of the data.

   Light conditionals and looping
       Jinja  is  extremely powerful for programmatically generating Salt states. It is also easy
       to overuse. As a rule of thumb, if it is hard to read it will be hard to maintain!

       Separate Jinja control-flow statements from the states as much as is  possible  to  create
       readable states. Limit Jinja within states to simple variable lookups.

       Below is a simple example of a readable loop:

          {% for user in salt.pillar.get('list_of_users', []) %}

          {# Ensure unique state IDs when looping. #}
          {{ user.name }}-{{ loop.index }}:
            user.present:
              - name: {{ user.name }}
              - shell: {{ user.shell }}

          {% endfor %}

       Avoid putting a Jinja conditionals within Salt states where possible.  Readability suffers
       and the correct YAML indentation is difficult to see  in  the  surrounding  visual  noise.
       Parametrization  (discussed below) and variables are both useful techniques to avoid this.
       For example:

          {# ---- Bad example ---- #}

          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              {% if grains.os_family == 'RedHat' %}
              - name: httpd
              {% elif grains.os_family == 'Debian' %}
              - name: apache2
              {% endif %}

          {# ---- Better example ---- #}

          {% if grains.os_family == 'RedHat' %}
          {% set name = 'httpd' %}
          {% elif grains.os_family == 'Debian' %}
          {% set name = 'apache2' %}
          {% endif %}

           apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ name }}

          {# ---- Good example ---- #}

          {% set name = {
              'RedHat': 'httpd',
              'Debian': 'apache2',
          }.get(grains.os_family) %}

           apache:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ name }}

       Dictionaries are useful to effectively "namespace" a collection  of  variables.   This  is
       useful  with  parametrization (discussed below). Dictionaries are also easily combined and
       merged. And they can be directly serialized into YAML which is often easier than trying to
       create valid YAML through templating. For example:

          {# ---- Bad example ---- #}

          haproxy_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
              - template: jinja
              {% if 'external_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
              - source: salt://haproxy/external_haproxy.cfg
              {% elif 'internal_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
              - source: salt://haproxy/internal_haproxy.cfg
              {% endif %}
              - context:
                  {% if 'external_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
                  ssl_termination: True
                  {% elif 'internal_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
                  ssl_termination: False
                  {% endif %}

          {# ---- Better example ---- #}

          {% load_yaml as haproxy_defaults %}
          common_settings:
            bind_port: 80

          internal_loadbalancer:
            source: salt://haproxy/internal_haproxy.cfg
            settings:
              bind_port: 8080
              ssl_termination: False

          external_loadbalancer:
            source: salt://haproxy/external_haproxy.cfg
            settings:
              ssl_termination: True
          {% endload %}

          {% if 'external_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
          {% set haproxy = haproxy_defaults['external_loadbalancer'] %}
          {% elif 'internal_loadbalancer' in grains.roles %}
          {% set haproxy = haproxy_defaults['internal_loadbalancer'] %}
          {% endif %}

          {% do haproxy.settings.update(haproxy_defaults.common_settings) %}

          haproxy_conf:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
              - template: jinja
              - source: {{ haproxy.source }}
              - context: {{ haproxy.settings | yaml() }}

       There  is still room for improvement in the above example. For example, extracting into an
       external file or replacing the if-elif conditional with a  function  call  to  filter  the
       correct data more succinctly. However, the state itself is simple and legible, the data is
       separate and also simple and legible.  And those suggested improvements  can  be  made  at
       some future date without altering the state at all!

   Avoid heavy logic and programming
       Jinja  is not Python. It was made by Python programmers and shares many semantics and some
       syntax but it does not allow for abitrary Python function calls or Python  imports.  Jinja
       is  a  fast  and  efficient templating language but the syntax can be verbose and visually
       noisy.

       Once Jinja use within  an  sls  file  becomes  slightly  complicated  --  long  chains  of
       if-elif-elif-else  statements, nested conditionals, complicated dictionary merges, wanting
       to use sets -- instead consider using a  different  Salt  renderer,  such  as  the  Python
       renderer.  As a rule of thumb, if it is hard to read it will be hard to maintain -- switch
       to a format that is easier to read.

       Using alternate renderers is very simple to do using Salt's "she-bang" syntax at  the  top
       of  the file. The Python renderer must simply return the correct highstate data structure.
       The following example is a state tree of two sls files, one simple and one complicated.

       /srv/salt/top.sls:

          base:
            '*':
              - common_configuration
              - roles_configuration

       /srv/salt/common_configuration.sls:

          common_users:
            user.present:
              - names:
                - larry
                - curly
                - moe

       /srv/salt/roles_configuration:

          #!py
          def run():
              list_of_roles = set()

              # This example has the minion id in the form 'web-03-dev'.
              # Easily access the grains dictionary:
              try:
                  app, instance_number, environment = __grains__["id"].split("-")
                  instance_number = int(instance_number)
              except ValueError:
                  app, instance_number, environment = ["Unknown", 0, "dev"]

              list_of_roles.add(app)

              if app == "web" and environment == "dev":
                  list_of_roles.add("primary")
                  list_of_roles.add("secondary")
              elif app == "web" and environment == "staging":
                  if instance_number == 0:
                      list_of_roles.add("primary")
                  else:
                      list_of_roles.add("secondary")

              # Easily cross-call Salt execution modules:
              if __salt__["myutils.query_valid_ec2_instance"]():
                  list_of_roles.add("is_ec2_instance")

              return {
                  "set_roles_grains": {
                      "grains.present": [{"name": "roles"}, {"value": list(list_of_roles)}],
                  },
              }

   Jinja Macros
       In Salt sls files Jinja macros are useful for one thing and one thing only: creating  mini
       templates that can be reused and rendered on demand. Do not fall into the trap of thinking
       of macros as functions; Jinja is not Python (see above).

       Macros are useful for creating reusable, parameterized states. For example:

          {% macro user_state(state_id, user_name, shell='/bin/bash', groups=[]) %}
          {{ state_id }}:
            user.present:
              - name: {{ user_name }}
              - shell: {{ shell }}
              - groups: {{ groups | json() }}
          {% endmacro %}

          {% for user_info in salt.pillar.get('my_users', []) %}
          {{ user_state('user_number_' ~ loop.index, **user_info) }}
          {% endfor %}

       Macros are also useful for creating one-off "serializers" that can accept a data structure
       and  write  that  out  as a domain-specific configuration file. For example, the following
       macro could be used to write a php.ini config file:

       /srv/salt/php.sls:

          php_ini:
            file.managed:
              - name: /etc/php.ini
              - source: salt://php.ini.tmpl
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  php_ini_settings: {{ salt.pillar.get('php_ini', {}) | json() }}

       /srv/pillar/php.sls:

          php_ini:
            PHP:
              engine: 'On'
              short_open_tag: 'Off'
              error_reporting: 'E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT'

       /srv/salt/php.ini.tmpl:

          {% macro php_ini_serializer(data) %}
          {% for section_name, name_val_pairs in data.items() %}
          [{{ section_name }}]
          {% for name, val in name_val_pairs.items() -%}
          {{ name }} = "{{ val }}"
          {% endfor %}
          {% endfor %}
          {% endmacro %}

          ; File managed by Salt at <{{ source }}>.
          ; Your changes will be overwritten.

          {{ php_ini_serializer(php_ini_settings) }}

   Abstracting static defaults into a lookup table
       Separate data that a state uses from the state itself to  increases  the  flexibility  and
       reusability of a state.

       An  obvious  and common example of this is platform-specific package names and file system
       paths. Another example is sane defaults for an application, or common  settings  within  a
       company or organization. Organizing such data as a dictionary (aka hash map, lookup table,
       associative array) often provides a lightweight namespacing and allows for quick and  easy
       lookups.  In  addition, using a dictionary allows for easily merging and overriding static
       values within a lookup table with dynamic values fetched from Pillar.

       A strong convention in Salt Formulas is to place platform-specific data, such  as  package
       names  and  file  system  paths,  into a file named map.jinja that is placed alongside the
       state files.

       The following is an  example  from  the  MySQL  Formula.   The  grains.filter_by  function
       performs a lookup on that table using the os_family grain (by default).

       The  result is that the mysql variable is assigned to a subset of the lookup table for the
       current platform. This allows states to reference, for example,  the  name  of  a  package
       without  worrying  about the underlying OS. The syntax for referencing a value is a normal
       dictionary  lookup  in  Jinja,  such  as  {{  mysql['service']  }}  or  the  shorthand  {{
       mysql.service }}.

       map.jinja:

          {% set mysql = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'Debian': {
                  'server': 'mysql-server',
                  'client': 'mysql-client',
                  'service': 'mysql',
                  'config': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'python-mysqldb',
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'server': 'mysql-server',
                  'client': 'mysql',
                  'service': 'mysqld',
                  'config': '/etc/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'MySQL-python',
              },
              'Gentoo': {
                  'server': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'client': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'service': 'mysql',
                  'config': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'dev-python/mysql-python',
              },
          }, merge=salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup')) %}

       Values  defined  in the map file can be fetched for the current platform in any state file
       using the following syntax:

          {% from "mysql/map.jinja" import mysql with context %}

          mysql-server:
            pkg.installed:
              - name: {{ mysql.server }}
            service.running:
              - name: {{ mysql.service }}

   Organizing Pillar data
       It is considered a best practice to make formulas expect all formula-related parameters to
       be  placed  under  second-level lookup key, within a main namespace designated for holding
       data for particular service/software/etc, managed by the formula:

          mysql:
            lookup:
              version: 5.7.11

   Collecting common values
       Common values can be collected into a  base  dictionary.   This  minimizes  repetition  of
       identical  values  in  each of the lookup_dict sub-dictionaries.  Now only the values that
       are different from the base must be specified by the alternates:

       map.jinja:

          {% set mysql = salt['grains.filter_by']({
              'default': {
                  'server': 'mysql-server',
                  'client': 'mysql-client',
                  'service': 'mysql',
                  'config': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'python-mysqldb',
              },
              'Debian': {
              },
              'RedHat': {
                  'client': 'mysql',
                  'service': 'mysqld',
                  'config': '/etc/my.cnf',
                  'python': 'MySQL-python',
              },
              'Gentoo': {
                  'server': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'client': 'dev-db/mysql',
                  'python': 'dev-python/mysql-python',
              },
          },
          merge=salt['pillar.get']('mysql:lookup'), base='default') %}

   Overriding values in the lookup table
       Allow static values within lookup tables to be overridden. This is a simple pattern  which
       once again increases flexibility and reusability for state files.

       The  merge argument in filter_by specifies the location of a dictionary in Pillar that can
       be used to override values returned from the lookup table. If the value exists  in  Pillar
       it will take precedence.

       This is useful when software or configuration files is installed to non-standard locations
       or on unsupported platforms. For example, the following Pillar would  replace  the  config
       value from the call above.

          mysql:
            lookup:
              config: /usr/local/etc/mysql/my.cnf

       NOTE:
          Protecting Expansion of Content with Special Characters

          When templating keep in mind that YAML does have special characters for quoting, flows,
          and other special structure and content.  When a Jinja substitution  may  have  special
          characters  that  will  be incorrectly parsed by YAML care must be taken.  It is a good
          policy to use the yaml_encode or the yaml_dquote Jinja filters:

              {%- set foo = 7.7 %}
              {%- set bar = none %}
              {%- set baz = true %}
              {%- set zap = 'The word of the day is "salty".' %}
              {%- set zip = '"The quick brown fox . . ."' %}

              foo: {{ foo|yaml_encode }}
              bar: {{ bar|yaml_encode }}
              baz: {{ baz|yaml_encode }}
              zap: {{ zap|yaml_encode }}
              zip: {{ zip|yaml_dquote }}

          The above will be rendered as below:

              foo: 7.7
              bar: null
              baz: true
              zap: "The word of the day is \"salty\"."
              zip: "\"The quick brown fox . . .\""

       The filter_by function performs a simple dictionary lookup but also  allows  for  fetching
       data from Pillar and overriding data stored in the lookup table. That same workflow can be
       easily performed without using filter_by; other dictionaries besides data from Pillar  can
       also be used.

          {% set lookup_table = {...} %}
          {% do lookup_table.update(salt.pillar.get('my:custom:data')) %}

   When to use lookup tables
       The  map.jinja  file  is  only  a convention within Salt Formulas. This greater pattern is
       useful for a wide variety of data in a wide variety of workflows.   This  pattern  is  not
       limited  to  pulling  data  from  a single file or data source.  This pattern is useful in
       States, Pillar and the Reactor, for example.

       Working with a data structure instead of, say, a config file allows the data to be cobbled
       together  from  multiple  sources  (local  files,  remote  Pillar, database queries, etc),
       combined, overridden, and searched.

       Below are a few examples of what lookup tables may be useful for and how they may be  used
       and represented.

   Platform-specific information
       An  obvious  pattern and one used heavily in Salt Formulas is extracting platform-specific
       information such as package names and file system paths in a  file  named  map.jinja.  The
       pattern is explained in detail above.

   Sane defaults
       Application settings can be a good fit for this pattern. Store default settings along with
       the states themselves and keep overrides and sensitive settings in  Pillar.  Combine  both
       into a single dictionary and then write the application config or settings file.

       The  example  below  stores most of the Apache Tomcat server.xml file alongside the Tomcat
       states and then allows values to be updated or augmented via Pillar.  (This  example  uses
       the BadgerFish format for transforming JSON to XML.)

       /srv/salt/tomcat/defaults.yaml:

          Server:
            '@port': '8005'
            '@shutdown': SHUTDOWN
            GlobalNamingResources:
              Resource:
                '@auth': Container
                '@description': User database that can be updated and saved
                '@factory': org.apache.catalina.users.MemoryUserDatabaseFactory
                '@name': UserDatabase
                '@pathname': conf/tomcat-users.xml
                '@type': org.apache.catalina.UserDatabase
            # <...snip...>

       /srv/pillar/tomcat.sls:

          appX:
            server_xml_overrides:
              Server:
                Service:
                  '@name': Catalina
                  Connector:
                    '@port': '8009'
                    '@protocol': AJP/1.3
                    '@redirectPort': '8443'
                    # <...snip...>

       /srv/salt/tomcat/server_xml.sls:

          {% import_yaml 'tomcat/defaults.yaml' as server_xml_defaults %}
          {% set server_xml_final_values = salt.pillar.get(
              'appX:server_xml_overrides',
              default=server_xml_defaults,
              merge=True)
          %}

          appX_server_xml:
            file.serialize:
              - name: /etc/tomcat/server.xml
              - dataset: {{ server_xml_final_values | json() }}
              - formatter: xml_badgerfish

       The  file.serialize  state  can  provide  a  shorthand  for  creating some files from data
       structures. There are  also  many  examples  within  Salt  Formulas  of  creating  one-off
       "serializers"  (often as Jinja macros) that reformat a data structure to a specific config
       file format. For example, look at the`Nginx vhosts`_ states or the php.ini file template.

   Environment specific information
       A single state can be reused when it is parameterized as described in the  section  below,
       by  separating the data the state will use from the state that performs the work. This can
       be the difference between deploying Application X and Application  Y,  or  the  difference
       between production and development. For example:

       /srv/salt/app/deploy.sls:

          {# Load the map file. #}
          {% import_yaml 'app/defaults.yaml' as app_defaults %}

          {# Extract the relevant subset for the app configured on the current
             machine (configured via a grain in this example). #}
          {% app = app_defaults.get(salt.grains.get('role')) %}

          {# Allow values from Pillar to (optionally) update values from the lookup
             table. #}
          {% do app_defaults.update(salt.pillar.get('myapp', {})) %}

          deploy_application:
            git.latest:
              - name: {{ app.repo_url }}
              - version: {{ app.version }}
              - target: {{ app.deploy_dir }}

          myco/myapp/deployed:
            event.send:
              - data:
                  version: {{ app.version }}
              - onchanges:
                - git: deploy_application

       /srv/salt/app/defaults.yaml:

          appX:
            repo_url: git@github.com/myco/appX.git
            target: /var/www/appX
            version: master
          appY:
            repo_url: git@github.com/myco/appY.git
            target: /var/www/appY
            version: v1.2.3.4

   Single-purpose SLS files
       Each  sls  file  in  a  Formula  should  strive  to  do a single thing. This increases the
       reusability of this file by keeping unrelated tasks from getting coupled together.

       As an  example, the base Apache formula should only install the Apache  httpd  server  and
       start  the  httpd service. This is the basic, expected behavior when installing Apache. It
       should not perform additional changes such as set the Apache configuration file or  create
       vhosts.

       If  a  formula  is  single-purpose as in the example above, other formulas, and also other
       states can include and use that formula with requisites without also including undesirable
       or unintended side-effects.

       The  following  is  a  best-practice  example  for  a reusable Apache formula. (This skips
       platform-specific options for brevity. See the full apache-formula for more.)

          # apache/init.sls
          apache:
            pkg.installed:
              [...]
            service.running:
              [...]

          # apache/mod_wsgi.sls
          include:
            - apache

          mod_wsgi:
            pkg.installed:
              [...]
              - require:
                - pkg: apache

          # apache/conf.sls
          include:
            - apache

          apache_conf:
            file.managed:
              [...]
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       To illustrate a bad example, say the  above  Apache  formula  installed  Apache  and  also
       created  a  default  vhost.  The  mod_wsgi  state  would not be able to include the Apache
       formula to create that dependency tree without also installing the unneeded default vhost.

       Formulas should be reusable. Avoid coupling unrelated actions together.

   Parameterization
       Parameterization  is  a  key  feature  of  Salt  Formulas  and  also  for   Salt   States.
       Parameterization allows a single Formula to be reused across many operating systems; to be
       reused across production, development, or staging environments; and to be reused  by  many
       people all with varying goals.

       Writing states, specifying ordering and dependencies is the part that takes the longest to
       write and to test. Filling those states out with data such as users or  package  names  or
       file  locations is the easy part. How many users, what those users are named, or where the
       files live are all implementation details that should be  parameterized.  This  separation
       between a state and the data that populates a state creates a reusable formula.

       In the example below the data that populates the state can come from anywhere -- it can be
       hard-coded at the top of the state, it can come from an external file, it  can  come  from
       Pillar, it can come from an execution function call, or it can come from a database query.
       The state itself doesn't change regardless of where the data comes from.  Production  data
       will  vary  from development data will vary from data from one company to another, however
       the state itself stays the same.

          {% set user_list = [
              {'name': 'larry', 'shell': 'bash'},
              {'name': 'curly', 'shell': 'bash'},
              {'name': 'moe', 'shell': 'zsh'},
          ] %}

          {# or #}

          {% set user_list = salt['pillar.get']('user_list') %}

          {# or #}

          {% load_json "default_users.json" as user_list %}

          {# or #}

          {% set user_list = salt['acme_utils.get_user_list']() %}

          {% for user in list_list %}
          {{ user.name }}:
            user.present:
              - name: {{ user.name }}
              - shell: {{ user.shell }}
          {% endfor %}

   Configuration
       Formulas should strive to use  the  defaults  of  the  underlying  platform,  followed  by
       defaults from the upstream project, followed by sane defaults for the formula itself.

       As  an  example,  a  formula  to  install  Apache  should  not  change  the default Apache
       configuration file installed by the OS package. However, the Apache formula should include
       a state to change or override the default configuration file.

   Pillar overrides
       Pillar  lookups  must  use  the  safe get() and must provide a default value. Create local
       variables using the Jinja set construct to increase readability and to  avoid  potentially
       hundreds or thousands of function calls across a large state tree.

          {% from "apache/map.jinja" import apache with context %}
          {% set settings = salt['pillar.get']('apache', {}) %}

          mod_status:
            file.managed:
              - name: {{ apache.conf_dir }}
              - source: {{ settings.get('mod_status_conf', 'salt://apache/mod_status.conf') }}
              - template: {{ settings.get('template_engine', 'jinja') }}

       Any  default values used in the Formula must also be documented in the pillar.example file
       in the root of the repository. Comments should be used liberally to explain the intent  of
       each configuration value. In addition, users should be able copy-and-paste the contents of
       this file into their own Pillar to make any desired changes.

   Scripting
       Remember that both State files and Pillar files can easily  call  out  to  Salt  execution
       modules and have access to all the system grains as well.

          {% if '/storage' in salt['mount.active']() %}
          /usr/local/etc/myfile.conf:
            file:
              - symlink
              - target: /storage/myfile.conf
          {% endif %}

       Jinja  macros  to  encapsulate  logic  or conditionals are discouraged in favor of writing
       custom execution modules in Python.

   Repository structure
       A basic Formula repository should have the following layout:

          foo-formula
          |-- foo/
          |   |-- map.jinja
          |   |-- init.sls
          |   `-- bar.sls
          |-- CHANGELOG.rst
          |-- LICENSE
          |-- pillar.example
          |-- README.rst
          `-- VERSION

       SEE ALSO:
          template-formula

          The template-formula repository has  a  pre-built  layout  that  serves  as  the  basic
          structure for a new formula repository. Just copy the files from there and edit them.

   README.rst
       The  README  should detail each available .sls file by explaining what it does, whether it
       has any dependencies on other formulas, whether it has a target platform,  and  any  other
       installation or usage instructions or tips.

       A sample skeleton for the README.rst file:

          ===
          foo
          ===

          Install and configure the FOO service.

          **NOTE**

          See the full `Salt Formulas installation and usage instructions
          <https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/development/conventions/formulas.html>`_.

          Available states
          ================

          .. contents::
              :local:

          ``foo``

          Install the ``foo`` package and enable the service.

          ``foo.bar``
          -----------

          Install the ``bar`` package.

   CHANGELOG.rst
       The CHANGELOG.rst file should detail the individual versions, their release date and a set
       of bullet points for each version highlighting the overall changes in a given  version  of
       the formula.

       A sample skeleton for the CHANGELOG.rst file:

       CHANGELOG.rst:

          foo formula
          ===========

          0.0.2 (2013-01-01)

          - Re-organized formula file layout
          - Fixed filename used for upstart logger template
          - Allow for pillar message to have default if none specified

   Versioning
       Formula are versioned according to Semantic Versioning, https://semver.org/.

       NOTE:
          Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:

          1. MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes,

          2. MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner, and

          3. PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

          Additional labels for pre-release and build metadata are available as extensions to the
          MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format.

       Formula versions are tracked using Git tags as well as the VERSION  file  in  the  formula
       repository.  The  VERSION  file  should  contain  the  currently  released  version of the
       particular formula.

   Testing Formulas
       A smoke-test for invalid Jinja, invalid YAML, or an invalid Salt state  structure  can  be
       performed by with the state.show_sls function:

          salt '*' state.show_sls apache

       Salt  Formulas  can  then be tested by running each .sls file via state.apply and checking
       the output for the success or failure of each state in the Formula. This  should  be  done
       for each supported platform.

   SaltStack Packaging Guide
       Since  Salt  provides a powerful toolkit for system management and automation, the package
       can be spit into a  number  of  sub-tools.  While  packaging  Salt  as  a  single  package
       containing  all  components is perfectly acceptable, the split packages should follow this
       convention.

   Patching Salt For Distributions
       The occasion may arise where Salt  source  and  default  configurations  may  need  to  be
       patched.  It  is preferable if Salt is only patched to include platform specific additions
       or to fix release time bugs. It is preferable that configuration settings  and  operations
       remain  in  the default state, as changes here lowers the user experience for users moving
       across distributions.

       In the event where a packager finds a need to  change  the  default  configuration  it  is
       advised to add the files to the master.d or minion.d directories.

   Source Files
       Release  packages  should  always  be  built from the source tarball distributed via pypi.
       Release packages should NEVER use a git checkout as the source for distribution.

   Single Package
       Shipping Salt as a single package, where the minion, master, and all tools are together is
       perfectly acceptable and practiced by distributions such as FreeBSD.

   Split Package
       Salt  Should  always  be  split in a standard way, with standard dependencies, this lowers
       cross distribution confusion about what components are going to be shipped  with  specific
       packages. These packages can be defined from the Salt Source as of Salt 2014.1.0:

   Salt Common
       The  salt-common  or  salt  package  should  contain the files provided by the salt python
       package, or all files distributed from the salt/  directory  in  the  source  distribution
       packages.  The  documentation  contained  under  the  doc/ directory can be a part of this
       package but splitting out a doc package is preferred.  Since salt-call is the entry  point
       to  utilize the libs and is useful for all salt packages it is included in the salt-common
       package.

       The  Salt Syndic package can be rolled completely into the Salt Master package.  Platforms

       salt-syndic package (primarily Debian based platforms).

       The  Syndic  may optionally not depend on the anything more than the Salt Master since the
       master will bring in all needed dependencies, but  fall  back  to  the  platform  specific

   Salt Release Process
       The goal for Salt projects is to cut a new feature release every  three  to  four  months.
       This document outlines the process for these releases, and the subsequent bug fix releases
       which follow.

   Feature Release Process
       When a new release is ready to be cut, the person responsible for cutting the release will
       follow the following steps (written using the 3000 release as an example):

       1.  Create first public draft of release notes with major features.

       2.  Remove any deprecations for the upcoming release.

       3.  Ensure all required features are merged.

       4.  Create issue to start the process of deprecating for the next feature release.

       5.  Run through a manual test run based off of the head of the feature branch.

       6.  Update  all  name  references  to  version  number  in  the docs. For example all neon
           references in the docs needs to be moved to v3000

       7.  Review the release notes with major features.

       8.  Generate the new man pages for the release.

       9.  Create internal RC tag for testing from the head of the master branch.

       10. Build latest windows, mac, ubuntu, debian and redhat packages.

       11. Run manual and package tests against new RC packages.

       12. Push the internal tag live to salt's repo.

       13. Publish release archive to pypi based off tag.

       14. Push the RC packages live.

       15. Announce new RC to salt-users and salt-announce google groups.

       16. Triage incoming issues based on the new RC release.

       17. Fix RC issues once they are categorized as a release blocker.

       18. Depending on the issues found during the RC process make  a  decesion  on  whether  to
           release based off the RC or go through another RC process

       19. If a RC is categorized as stable, build all required packages.

       20. Test all release packages.

       21. Test links from repo.saltproject.io.

       22. Update installation instructions with new release number at repo.saltproject.io.

       23. Review and update all impacted installation documentation.

       24. Update and build docs to include new version (3000) as the latest.

       25. Pre-announce on salt-users google group that we are about to update our repo.

       26. Publish release (v3000) archive to pypi based off tag.

       27. Publish all packages live to repo.

       28. Publish the docs.

       29. Create release at github

       30. Update win-repo-ng with new salt versions.

       31. Announce release is live to irc, salt-users, salt-announce and release slack community
           channel.

   Bugfix Releases
       Once a feature release branch has been cut from the master branch, if serious  bugs  or  a
       CVE is found for the most recent release a bugfix release will need to be cut. A temporary
       branch will be created based off of the previous  release  tag.  For  example,  if  it  is
       determined  that a 3000.1 release needs to occur a 3000.1 branch will be created based off
       of the v3000 tag. The fixes that need to go into 3000.1 will be added and merged into this
       branch. Here are the steps for a bugfix release.

       1.  Ensure all required bug fixes are merged.

       2.  Create release branch with the version of the release. (ex. 3000.1)

       3.  Create jenkins jobs that test the new release branch.

       4.  Run through a manual test run based off of the head of the branch.

       5.  Generate the new man pages for the release.

       6.  Create internal tag for testing.(ex v3000.1)

       7.  Build all release packages.

       8.  Run manual and package tests against new packages.

       9.  Update installation instructions with new release number at repo.saltproject.io.

       10. Update and build docs to include new version. (ex. 3000.1)

       11. Pre-announce on salt-users google groups that we are about to update our repo.

       12. Push the internal tag live to salt's repo.

       13. Publish release archive to pypi based off tag.

       14. Push the packages live.

       15. Publish release (v3000) archive to pypi based off tag.

       16. Publish all packages live to repo.

       17. Publish the docs.

       18. Create release at github

       19. Update win-repo-ng with new salt versions.

       20. Announce release is live to irc, salt-users, salt-announce and release slack channel.

   Salt Coding Style
       To  make  it  easier  to contribute and read Salt code, SaltStack has adopted Black as its
       code formatter. There are a few places where Black is silent, and  this  guide  should  be
       used in those cases.

       Coding  style  is NEVER grounds to reject code contributions, and is never grounds to talk
       down to another member of the community (There are no  grounds  to  treat  others  without
       respect, especially people working to improve Salt)!

   Linting
       Most Salt style conventions are codified in Salt's .pylintrc file.  Salt's linting has two
       major dependencies: pylint and saltpylint, the full lint requirements can be  found  under
       requirements/static/ci/lint.in       and       the       pinned       requirements      at
       requirements/static/ci/py3.<minor-version>/lint.txt, however, linting should be done using
       nox, which is how pull requests are checked.

          nox -e lint

       One can target either salt's source code or the test suite(different pylint rules apply):

          nox -e lint-salt
          nox -e lint-tests

   Variables
       Variables should be a minimum of three characters and should provide an easy-to-understand
       name of the object being represented.

       When keys and values are iterated over, descriptive names should be used to represent  the
       temporary variables.

       Multi-word variables should be separated by an underscore.

       Variables  which  are  two-letter  words should have an underscore appended to them to pad
       them to three characters.

   Formatting Strings
       All strings which require formatting should use the .format string method:

       Please do NOT use printf formatting, unless it's a log message.

       Good:

          data = "some text"
          more = "{} and then some".format(data)
          log.debug("%s and then some", data)

       Bad:

          data = "some text"
          log.debug("{} and then some".format(data))

   Docstring Conventions
       When adding a new function or state, where possible try to use a versionadded directive to
       denote when the function, state, or parameter was added.

          def new_func(msg=""):
              """
              .. versionadded:: 0.16.0

              Prints what was passed to the function.

              msg : None
                  The string to be printed.
              """
              print(msg)

       If  you  are uncertain what version should be used, either consult a core developer in IRC
       or bring this up when opening your pull request and a core developer  will  let  you  know
       what version to add. Typically this will be the next element in the periodic table.

       Similar to the above, when an existing function or state is modified (for example, when an
       argument is added), then under  the  explanation  of  that  new  argument  a  versionadded
       directive  should  be  used to note the version in which the new argument was added. If an
       argument's function changes significantly, the versionchanged directive  can  be  used  to
       clarify this:

          def new_func(msg="", signature=""):
              """
              .. versionadded:: 0.16.0

              Prints what was passed to the function.

              msg : None
                  The string to be printed. Will be prepended with 'Greetings! '.

              .. versionchanged:: 0.17.1

              signature : None
                  An optional signature.

              .. versionadded:: 0.17.0
              """
              print("Greetings! {0}\n\n{1}".format(msg, signature))

   Dictionaries
       Dictionaries should be initialized using {} instead of dict().

       See here for an in-depth discussion of this topic.

   Imports
       Salt  code  prefers importing modules and not explicit functions. This is both a style and
       functional preference. The functional preference  originates  around  the  fact  that  the
       module  import  system used by pluggable modules will include callable objects (functions)
       that exist in the direct module namespace. This is not only messy, but may unintentionally
       expose code python libs to the Salt interface and pose a security problem.

       To say this more directly with an example, this is GOOD:

          import os

          def minion_path():
              path = os.path.join(self.opts["cachedir"], "minions")
              return path

       This on the other hand is DISCOURAGED:

          from os.path import join

          def minion_path():
              path = join(self.opts["cachedir"], "minions")
              return path

       The  time  when  this is changed is for importing exceptions, generally directly importing
       exceptions is preferred:

       This is a good way to import exceptions:

          from salt.exceptions import CommandExecutionError

   Absolute Imports
       Although absolute imports seems like an awesome idea, please do not use  it.   Extra  care
       would be necessary all over salt's code in order for absolute imports to work as supposed.
       Believe  it,  it  has  been  tried  before  and,  as  a   tried   example,   by   renaming
       salt.modules.sysmod to salt.modules.sys, all other salt modules which needed to import sys
       would have to also import absolute_import, which should be avoided.

       NOTE:
          An exception to this rule is the absolute_import from __future__ at  the  top  of  each
          file  within  the  Salt  project.  This import is necessary for Py3 compatibility. This
          particular import looks like this:

              from __future__ import absolute_import

          This import is required for all new Salt files and is a good idea to add to any  custom
          states  or modules. However, the practice of avoiding absolute imports still applies to
          all other cases as to avoid a name conflict.

   Code Churn
       Many pull requests have been submitted that only churn code in the name  of  PEP  8.  Code
       churn  is  a  leading  source  of bugs and is strongly discouraged.  While style fixes are
       encouraged they should be isolated to a single file per commit, and the changes should  be
       legitimate,  if  there are any questions about whether a style change is legitimate please
       reference      this      document      and      the      official      PEP      8       (‐
       https://legacy.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)  document  before changing code. Many claims
       that a change is PEP 8 have been invalid, please double check before committing fixes.

   salt.aggregation
   salt.utils.aggregation
       This library makes it possible to introspect  dataset  and  aggregate  nodes  when  it  is
       instructed.

       NOTE:
          The following examples with be expressed in YAML for convenience's sake:

          • !aggr-scalar will refer to Scalar python function

          • !aggr-map will refer to Map python object

          • !aggr-seq will refer for Sequence python object

   How to instructs merging
       This yaml document has duplicate keys:

          foo: !aggr-scalar first
          foo: !aggr-scalar second
          bar: !aggr-map {first: foo}
          bar: !aggr-map {second: bar}
          baz: !aggr-scalar 42

       but tagged values instruct Salt that overlapping values they can be merged together:

          foo: !aggr-seq [first, second]
          bar: !aggr-map {first: foo, second: bar}
          baz: !aggr-seq [42]

   Default merge strategy is keep untouched
       For  example,  this  yaml  document  still  has  duplicate  keys,  but  does  not instruct
       aggregation:

          foo: first
          foo: second
          bar: {first: foo}
          bar: {second: bar}
          baz: 42

       So the late found values prevail:

          foo: second
          bar: {second: bar}
          baz: 42

   Limitations
       Aggregation is permitted between tagged objects that share the same  type.   If  not,  the
       default merge strategy prevails.

       For example, these examples:

          foo: {first: value}
          foo: !aggr-map {second: value}

          bar: !aggr-map {first: value}
          bar: 42

          baz: !aggr-seq [42]
          baz: [fail]

          qux: 42
          qux: !aggr-scalar fail

       are interpreted like this:

          foo: !aggr-map{second: value}

          bar: 42

          baz: [fail]

          qux: !aggr-seq [fail]

   Exceptions
       Salt-specific  exceptions  should be thrown as often as possible so the various interfaces

       appropriately.

   The Salt Fileserver and Client
   Introduction
       Salt has a modular fileserver, and multiple client classes which are used to interact with
       it. This page serves as a developer's reference, to help explain how  the  fileserver  and
       clients both work.

   Fileserver
       The  fileserver  is  not  a daemon, so the fileserver and client are not a true server and
       client  in  the  traditional  sense.  Instead,  the   fileserver   is   simply   a   class
       (salt.fileserver.Fileserver),  located  in  salt/fileserver/__init__.py.  This  class  has
       access to the  configured  fileserver  backends  via  a  loader  instance,  referenced  as
       self.servers.  When a request comes in from the fileclient, it will ultimately result in a
       Fileserver class function being run.

       The functions in this class will run corresponding functions in the configured  fileserver
       backends to perform the requested action. So, in summary:

       1. A fileclient class makes a request...

       2. which triggers the fileserver to run a function...

       3. which runs a named function in each of the configured backends.

       Not  all  of  the functions will always execute on every configured backend. For instance,
       the find_file function in the fileserver will stop when it finds a match, so if it finds a
       match  for  the  desired path in the first configured backend, it won't proceed and try to
       find the file in the next backend in the list.

       Additionally, not all backends implement all functions in  the  salt.fileserver.Fileserver
       class.  For  instance,  there  is  a function called update, which exists to update remote
       fileservers such as the git, hg, and svn backends. This action has no use however  in  the
       roots  backend,  so it is simply not implemented there, and thus the roots backend will be
       skipped if the update function is run on the fileserver.

       Backends for  the  fileserver  are  located  in  salt/fileserver/  (the  files  not  named
       __init__.py).

   Fileclient
       There are three fileclient classes:

   salt.fileclient.RemoteClient
       This  client  is used when file_client is set to remote. This is how minions request files
       from the master.

       Functions in this client will craft a payload and send it to the master via the  transport
       channel.  This is the same way that the minion asks the minion to do other things, such as
       updating and requesting data from the mine. The payload will be a dictionary  with  a  key
       called cmd, and other values as needed.

       Payloads  sent  via  the  transport  channel  are  processed my an MWorker instance on the
       master, and the MWorker's _handle_aes() function will execute  the  command.  The  command
       will  be  a  function  attribute  of  the  salt.master.AESFuncs class. The AESFuncs class'
       __setup_fileserver() function instantiates a salt.fileserver.Fileserver instance and  maps
       its  member  functions to AESFuncs attributes. This is what makes the fileserver functions
       available remotely. The result of the function is  returned  back  through  the  transport
       channel to the minion.

       Transporting files is done in chunks, the size of which is decided by the file_buffer_size
       config option. If you look at the serve_file() function in any of the fileserver backends,
       you can see how the loc value in the payload determines the offset so that an intermediate
       chunk of the file can be served. The RemoteClient's get_file() function  will  loop  until
       the end of the file is reached, retrieving one chunk at a time.

   salt.fileclient.FSClient
       This  client  is  used  when  file_client  is set to local. This is how masterless minions
       request files.

       This class inherits from the RemoteClient, but instead of using a transport channel  (zmq,
       tcp,  etc.), it uses a "fake" transport channel (salt.fileserver.FSChan), which implements
       its own send() function.  Thus, when a  function  that  the  FSClient  inherits  from  the
       RemoteClient       runs       self.channel.send(),       it's       actually       calling
       salt.fileserver.FSChan.send(),   which    calls    corresponding    functions    in    the
       salt.fileserver.Fileserver()  class.  The  result is that local file requests use the same
       code as remote file requests, they just bypass sending them through  an  actual  transport
       channel and instead call them on the FSChan's Fileserver instance.

   salt.fileclient.LocalClient
       This  client  is now used exclusively by Pillar. This used to be used when file_client was
       set to local, but the FSChan class was written to allow minions with file_client: local to
       access  the  full set of backends. This class will probably be renamed at some point as it
       is often confused with salt.client.LocalClient.

   The cp Module
       Most of the user-facing interaction with the fileclient happens via  the  cp  module.  The
       functions in this module instantiate a fileclient instance (if one is not already saved to
       the __context__ dunder) and run fileclient functions.

   Updating the Fileserver
       The master daemon spawns a process dedicated to routine maintenance  tasks  upon  startup.
       This  process  runs an instance of salt.master.Maintenance, which loops forever, running a
       series of functions and then sleeping for a length of time determined by the loop_interval
       config  option.  One  of  the  maintenance  tasks  is  to  update  the  fileserver, and it
       essentially runs salt.fileserver.Fileserver.update(), which as we know from above will run
       all  configured  backends'  update() functions, if present. This is now remote fileservers
       like git, hg, and svn stay up-to-date.

       For the local file_client (FSClient), since it does not interact  with  the  master,  upon
       spawning of its FSChan it will update the fileserver.

   Salt opts dictionary
       It is very common in the Salt codebase to see opts referred to in a number of contexts.

       For example, it can be seen as __opts__ in certain cases, or simply as opts as an argument
       to a function in others.

       Simply  put,  this  data  structure  is  a  dictionary  of  Salt's  runtime  configuration
       information that's passed around in order for functions to know how Salt is configured.

       When  writing  Python  code  to  use  specific  parts  of Salt, it may become necessary to
       initialize a copy of opts from scratch in order to have it available for a given function.

       To do so, use the utility functions available in salt.config.

       As an example, here is how one might generate and print an options dictionary for a minion
       instance:

          import salt.config

          opts = salt.config.minion_config("/etc/salt/minion")
          print(opts)

       To generate and display opts for a master, the process is similar:

          import salt.config

          opts = salt.config.master_config("/etc/salt/master")
          print(opts)

   Unicode in Salt
       Though  Unicode  handling  in large projects can often be complex, Salt adheres to several
       basic rules to help developers handle Unicode correctly.

       (For a basic introduction to this problem, see Ned Batchelder's excellent intoroduction to
       the topic <http://nedbatchelder.com/text/unipain/unipain.html>.

       Salt's basic workflow for Unicode handling is as follows:

       1. Salt  should  convert  whatever  data  is  passed  on  CLI/API to Unicode.  Internally,
          everything that Salt does should be Unicode unless it is  printing  to  the  screen  or
          writing to storage.

       2. Modules and various Salt pluggable systems use incoming data assuming Unicode.

          2.1) For Salt modules that query an API; the module should convert the data
                 received from the API into Unicode.

          2.2) For Salt modules that shell out to get output; the module should
                 convert  data  received  into  Unicode.  (This  does  not apply if using the cmd
                 execution module, which should handle this for you.

          2.3) For Salt modules which print directly to the console (not via an
                 outputter) or which write directly to disk, a  string  should  be  encoded  when
                 appropriate.    To    handle    this    conversion,    the    global    variable
                 __salt_system_encoding__ is available, which declares the locale of  the  system
                 that Salt is running on.

       3. When  a  function in a Salt module returns a string, it should return a unicode type in
          Python 2.

       4. When Salt delivers the data to an outputter or  a  returner,  it  is  the  job  of  the
          outputter  or  returner  to  encode  the Unicode before displaying it on the console or
          writing it to storage.

         package. (#59569)

   Changed
       • The pkg module now supports tdnf used by VMWare Photon OS.   As  part  of  this  change,
         VMWare Photon OS's os_family grain will now resolve as RedHat.  This may require changes
         to existing uses of grains.filter_by

       • The salt-run CLI now accepts --jid which allows scripting against it.

       • Change brew cask --list to brew list --cask (#58381)

       • Changed package manager detection in yumpkg module (#59201)

       • Updating the pkg beacon to fire the events when there are upgrades to packages, but also
         when watched packages are installed or removed. Breaking out the logic for listing  pkgs
         from  context  into  a  separate  function  to  aid in testing. Updating tests to ensure
         context is not used when use_context option to list_pkgs is False. (#59463)

   Removed
       • Removed the deprecated glance state and execution module in favor  of  the  glance_image
         state module and the glanceng execution module. (#59079)

       • Removing the _ext_nodes deprecation warning and alias to the master_tops function.  This
         change will break compatibility with a Salt master running versions 2017.7.8  and  older
         and Salt minions running versions 3003 and newer. (#59804)

       • removed the arg managed_private_key from 'salt.states.x509.certificate_managed' (#59247)

       • Drop support for python 3.5 on Windows (#59479)

       • Removed support for Ubuntu 16.04 (#59913)

   Deprecated
       • Added deprecation warning for grains.get_or_set_hash (#59425)

   Fixed
       • When   instantiating  the  loader  grab  values  of  grains  and  pillars  if  they  are
         NamedLoaderContext instances. (#59773)

         attribute when it is passed in. (#57600)

       • When  passing  arguments pass them as keyword arguments so that we can be sure the right
         value is going where. (#58006, #58579, #59075)

       • Improve module whitelist logic for file backends (#58041)

       • Fix behavior for "onlyif/unless" state conditionals when multiple declarations (#58085)

       • Fixed the  zabbix.host_create  call  on  zabbix_host.present  to  include  the  optional
         parameter visible_name. Now working as documented. (#58602)

       • Fixed some bugs to allow zabbix_host.present to update a host already existent on Zabbix
         server:

         • Added checks before "pop" the elements "bulk" and "details" from  hostinterfaces_get's
           response. Without that, the interface comparison didn't works with Zabbix >= 5.0

         • Fixed  the  "inventory" comparison. It failed when both current and new inventory were
           missing.

         • Rewrite of the update_interfaces routine to really "update"  the  interfaces  and  not
           trying  to  delete  and  recreate  all interfaces, which almost always gives errors as
           interfaces with linked items can't be deleted. (#58603)

       • Added the "details" mandatory object with the properly default values  when  creating  a
         SNMP hostinterface in Zabbix 5.0 (#58620)

         option to support multiple statements in queries. (#58718)

       • Fixed  two  performance  bugs  in  the sysctl.present state.  Their impact is especially
         great on FreeBSD machines with large amounts of RAM. (#58732)

       • Fixed an issue when pillar files are included in the top.sls and then later included  in
         another pillar file. (#58736)

       • Left over py2 code was causing windows encoding to misbehave (#58749)

         result=False from module.run state when called with no functions (#58752)

       • Fix duplicate IP addresses in fqdn_ip4 and fqdn_ip6 grains (#58799)

       • Rename salt.renderers.toml to salt.renderers.tomlmod which fixes the import error issues
         as described in #58822 Do note that, the renderer is still called toml. (#58822)

       • Fixing  unhold in yumpkg. Removing unnecessary code and relying on the code that handles
         dicts later. Adding tests when pkg.installed is called with hold=False. (#58883)

         by "size" parameter in lvm.lv_present (#58985)

       • Fixing the two failing tests when running on Photon OS. Python 3 installed on Photon  OS
         does   not   support   MD4   hashing,   so  don't  load  pdbedit  module  and  skip  the
         test_generate_nt_hash test. Default unmask for files and  directories  results  in  them
         having  only  user  and  group  permissions so update the test_directory_max_depth test.
         (#58991)

       • Fixes to netmiko module and proxy module  to  handle  situations  where  the  device  is
         unreachable during the initial connection phase. (#59011)

   Salt 3003.1 Release Notes
       Version 3003.1 is a bug fix release for 3003.

   Fixed
       • Fixed race condition in batch logic. Added listen option to LocalClient to prevent event
         subscriber from purging cached events during batch iteration. (#56273)

       • Fixed dependencies for Amazon Linux 2 on https://repo.saltproject.io since Amazon  Linux
         2 now provides some of the python libraries in their repos. (#59982)

       • IPCMessageSubscriber  objects  expose their connect method as a coroutine so they can be
         wrapped by SyncWrapper. (#60049)

       • Import salt.utils.azurearm instead of using __utils__ from loader in azure cloud.   This
         fixes an issue where __utils__ would become unavailable when we are using the ThreadPool
         in azurearm. (#59744)

       • Use contextvars library from site-packages if it is intalled. Fixes salt ssh for targets
         with python <=3.6 (#59942)

       • Add back support to load old entrypoints by iterating instead of type checking (#59961)

       • Pass  the value of the __grains__ NamedContext to salt.pillar.get_pillar, instead of the

       • Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)

   Salt 3002 Release Notes - Codename Magnesium
   New Features
   Network Teaming Support Added (RHEL/CentOS)
       Support  for  two  new  interface  types  (team  and  teamport)  has  been  added  to  the
       network.managed state. See the documentation for example usage.

   Execution Module Changes
       The ip.get_bond and ip.build_bond functions have been  removed  from  the  ip  module  for
       RHEL/CentOS.  Configuring  bonding  opts in modprobe configurations has not been necessary
       since RHEL 4, and Salt was in fact redundantly both creating modprobe  configurations  and
       using the BONDING_OPTS interface configuration parameter.

   Removed
       • removed boto_vpc.describe_route_table please use boto_vpc.describe_route_tables (#58636)

       • removed show_ipv4 arg from all functions in from salt.runners.manage (#58638)

       • removed kwargs from mandrill.send if you use "async" please use "asynchronous" (#58640)

       • removed salt/modules/mac_brew_pkg.__fix_cask_namespace (#58641)

       • zfs.mount Passing '-a' as name is deprecated please just pass 'None' (#58642)

       • Remove   include_localhost  kwarg  for  connected_ids  method  in  salt/utils/minions.py
         (#58224)

       • deprecated opts default argument of none and removed deprecation warnings (#58635)

   Deprecated
       • The ssh parameter of virt.migrate has been deprecated. Use a libvirt  URI  target  value
         instead.   Both   virt.migrate_non_shared   and  virt.migrate_non_shared_inc  have  been
         deprecated. Use the copy_storage parameter with virt.migrate instead. (#57947)

   Changed
       • Allow specifying a custom port for Proxmox connection (#50620)

       • Changed the lvm.lv_present state to accept a  resizefs  switch.  So,  when  the  logical
         volume is resized, the filesystem will be resized too. (#55265)

       • Change  the  enable_fqdns_grains  setting  to default to False on proxy minions as it is
         generally not needed and just slows down start up time.. (#57676)

       • Adds network teaming support to network.managed state for  RHEL-based  distros.  Removes
         ip.get_bond  and  ip.build_bond  for  the  same,  as is redundant and not needed for any
         current RHEL/CentOS/Fedora/etc. release. (#57775)

       • The serializer argument has been added to the file.serialize state, as an alternative to
         formatter.  This  brings  it more in line with the serializer_opts and deserializer_opts
         arguments. formatter is still supported, but using both serializer  and  formatter  will
         cause the state to fail. (#57858)

   Fixedfile.read exec module function no longer fails on binary data. (#58033)

       • Remove py2 support from winrepo execution module and runner (#58596)

       • Create ini file if does not exist when using ini.options_present state module. (#34236)

       • Added an bool "strict" argument to sdb.get module to force module to fail if the sdb uri
         is not correct. (#39163)

       • Fixed issue with postgres.has_privilege breaking on ALL. (#48465)

       • check for azurearm username in config before adding username and password to the virtual
         machine properties (#49063)

       • Fixes  service.status  to  return  True/False  instead  of  empty strings or PIDs of the
         service. This brings macOS into parity with the other service modules. (#49237)

       • fix frequent rest_tornado non-fatal tracebacks (#49572)

       • Do not use reverse DNS of the target used in salt-ssh. Use the target the user provides.
         (#49840)

       • Fixes startup issue where it tried to load the kernalparams grain on Windows (#49901)

       • Fixed error in nilrt_ip.get_interfaces_details when loading config. (#50416)

       • Doesn't remove underscore when sanitizing hostname in network salt util (#50527)

       •

         permit the use of int/float type for the version in:

                • the state postgres_cluster.present

                • the state postgres_cluster.absent

                • the module postgres.cluster_create

                • the module postgres.cluster_remove (#50899)

       • Cleaned up a trackback in lvm.pv_present when the disk doesn't exist. (#52363)

       • Fixed UnboundLocalError when using win_network.connect (#53371)

       • Add accept_ra 2 option to modules.debian_ip (#54067)

       • salt.runner test mode support (#54382)

       • Fixed mkpart to allow the creation of a partition without filesystem (#54456)

       • Fixes  bogus warning message when an empty list is used for an environment in a topfile.
         This allows [] to be used as a placeholder in  a  topfile  without  needing  to  comment
         everything out as a workaround. (#54882)

       • win_certutil  state will no longer fail on non-English systems upon successful additions
         and deletions of a certificate. (#55024)

       • Fixed file.directory state always showing mode change for symlinks. (#55878)

       • check for a docker error that the swarm already exists when calling swarm.swarm_init  on
         an existing docker swarm (#55949)

       • Fixing stalekey engine so it deletes the keys when they are a list. (#55977)

       • An  invalid  _schedule.conf  configuration  file  is renamed to _schedule.confYAMLError.
         This avoids disabling the minion and busy polling the CPU on Windows. (#56216, #58177)

       • Proper calculation of tpldir and related context parameters (#56410)

       • Make gpg.encrypt examples work (#56646)

       • Artifactory encoding of headers fixed for py3 (#56660)

       • Fixed handling of extents extended attribute in file.managed state. (#57189)

       • Remove buggy start parameter from virt.pool_running docstring (#57275)

       • Fixed saltcheck rendering of map.jinja files from saltenv (#57327)

       • Fix for  virt.get_profiles  resolves  an  error  that  appears  due  to  new  parameters
         introduced with _disk_profile() (#57431)

       • Accept nested namespaces in spacewalk.api runner function. (#57442)

       • virt.init fix the disk target names (#57477)

       • Fix volume name for disk-typed pools in virt.defined (#57497)

       • Fixes  an  issue  with filesystems options ordering which kept already applied NFS fstab
         entries being updated. (#57520)

       • Do not allow python2 to be added  to  salt-ssh  tar  since  Salt  deprecated  Python  2.
         (#57647)

       • Fixed exception on loading custom zipped modules. (#57674)

       • corrected support for app_id or local vault configurations (#57705)

       • Fix the registration of libvirt pool and nodedev events (#57746)

       • Pass cmd.run state arguments to unless and onlyif when they exist (#57760)

       • The  2004  release of Windows 10 introduced a bug in the InstallationBehavior COM object
         where you can no longer get properties from that object. Calls to this  object  are  now
         wrapped in a try/except block with sane defaults when it fails to read attributes.

         Additionally,  some pre-flight checks have been added to the win_wua module to make sure
         Windows Update can actually run. (#57762)

       • Changed get_repo in yumpkg.py to use "repo" as first parameter.  This  fixes  #57778,  a
         bug  were every run of pkgrepo.managed state were marked as changed because the get_repo
         did fail to detect a previously applied run. (#57778)

       • Raise SaltClientError in parse_host_port insted  of  ValueError  so  it  is  caught  and
         handled properly when the minion is connecting to the master. (#57789)

       • Fixed   issue   with  the  return  dictionary  from  the  workgroup()  function  in  the
         salt.states.win_system module. This resulted in a windows-based minion logging an  error
         and could also interfere with a highstate being applied. (#57790)

       • Fixes  broken  block_device_mapping  and  block_device_mapping_v2  type  checks  in  the
         OpenStack cloud driver. Salt was looking for a dict and the shade  library  was  looking
         for a list of dicts. This made it impossible to use those params. (#57802)

       • Fixed incorrect parsing of Set-Cookie response headers. (#57829)

       • When using yumpkg, report stdout when stderr is redirected to stdout. (#57862)

       • Fixes  an  issue  on  macOS where if you try and restart the macOS using serivce.restart
         salt-minion it would fail because the service names are different on macOS. (#57878)

       • Fixes an issue on macOS where salt would take extra time to run on a  service.dead  call
         and the service is missing. (#57907)

       • Fixes  an  issue  where  a  disabled  macOS and Windows service would fail to start with
         service.running. (#57908)

       • Use "use_bin_type" to differentiate between bytes and str when writing cache for  pillar
         and grains. (#57918)

       • Set  the  comment  to  "No minions responded" if salt.function fails to find any minions
         (#57920)

       • Fix issue with __utils__ usage in the __virtual__ functions on a few  of  the  execution
         modules. (#57948)

       • remove  encoding  kwarg  for  both  pack(b)/unpack(b)  in  msgpack  for versions >=1.0.0
         https://github.com/msgpack/msgpack-python/blob/master/ChangeLog.rst#100 (#57965)

       • Replace deprecated cgi.escape() with html.escape() after it was removed from Python 3.8.
         (#57983)

       • Fix btrfs state decorator, that produces exceptions when creating subvolumes. (#58012)

       • Fix kubeadm token_list when the list of tokens is empty (#58116)

       • Add  a  fix for the mac_service modules where it would fail to load in some new services
         and crash on Big Sur. (#58143)

       • Fix blank tplfile context parameter when loading top level sls files (#58249)

       • Do not include init directory in sls context parameters if explicitly specified (#58250)

       • Fixing pillar caching when pillar environments are involved. (#58274)

       • Make proxy_config read in the proxy specific configuration which is typically  found  in
         /etc/salt/proxy.d/minionid/. (#58307)

       • Add timeout kwarg docs for service.running and service.dead (#58311)

       • Return empty dict on win_pdh.get_counters rather than raising exception when no data are
         available (#58327)

       • Leave boot parameters untouched if boot parameter is set to None in virt.update (#58331)

       • Convert disks of volume type to file or block disks on Xen (#58333)

       • Apparently Apple is using both "10.16" and "11" for versioning  Big  Sur,  depending  on
         where  you  look.  The  mac_softwareupdate module uses a different regex depending on OS
         version, and the determination was based on the osrelease_info grain. This results in  a
         Big Sur machine not using the correct regex; osrelease_info[1] is 0 for Big Sur.

         This   change   simply  adds  an  additional  clause  to  the  if  statement  to  handle
         osmajorrelease > 10. (#58340)

       • Fixed zmq salt-call hang!

         Some objects from the 3rd party module zmq fail to deconstruct if left to  the  GC  when
         Python  exits.   This  is  because  the  objects  get destroyed out of order.  This only
         happens on some platforms like ubuntu 20.04 and some versions of FreeBSD.  We fixed this
         hang  by  deconstructing  all  zmq  objects in the right order before we exit salt-call.
         (#58364)

       • Reactor runner functions will now ensure reactor system is available  before  attempting
         to run and error out if it is not available. (#58384)

       • Fix enpoint typos (#58416)

       • Make  sure  we  repopulate  __utils__  on  Windows when a job is run from the scheduler.
         (#58437)

       • Adding a check when a source is an HTTP or FTP URL to do a query to ensure  the  URL  is
         valid  before  returning, then we know if we need to move onto to the next source in the
         list or not. (#58441)

       • Improved documentation for the LGPO state module (#58521)

       • Remove old documented pending reboot key (#58530)

       • On macOS, skip GUI dialog for Developer Command Line Tools when  importing  gitfs  util.
         (#58575)

       • Fixing  a  use case when multiple inotify beacons are defined but when notifications are
         fired the configuration from the first beacon are used. (#58655)

   Added
       • salt-api will now work on Windows platforms with limited support. You will  be  able  to
         configure  the rest_cherrypy module, without pam external authentication and without ssl
         support.(#49949)

       • Added execution_timeout support to chocolatey.installed state (#50449)

       • Add new verify_ssl option to file modules. This allows a user to not validate the server
         certificate for HTTPS source and source hash's. (#52663)

       • Added list target type support to the scan salt-ssh roster. (#52675)

       • Added pvresize and lvextend to linux_lvm (#56089)

       • Added COPR option to states.pkgrepo (#57258)

       • Add  "get_return"  key  for  onlyif  and  unless requisites to parse deep module results
         (#57470)

       • Allow setting VM boot devices order in virt.running and virt.defined states (#57544)

       • Added grains to show the LVM Volume Groups and their Logical Volumes. (#57629)

       • Memory Tuning Support which allows much greater control of memory allocation (#57639)

       • Add output filter to saltcheck to only display test failures (#57788)

       • Added an execution module for running idem exec modules

       • Added a state module for running idem states (#57969)

       • Added the ability for states to  return  sub_state_run's  results  from  external  state
         engines (#57993)

       • Added  salt-cloud  support  for  Linode APIv4 via the api_version provider configuration
         parameter. (#58093)

       • Added support to manage services in Slackware Linux. (#58206)

       • Added list_sources to chocolatey module to have an overview of the repositories  present
         on  the minions.  Added source_added to chocolatey state in order to add repositories to
         chocolatey. (#58588)

       • Adding tests for changes to virtual  function  for  netmiko  module.  Adding  tests  for
         netmiko proxy minion module. (#58609)

       • Added   features   config   option   for   feature   flags.   Added   a   feature   flag
         enable_slsvars_fixes to enable fixes to tpldir, tplfile and sls_path.  This flag will be
         deprecated  in  the  Phosphorus  release  when  this  functionality becomes the default.
         (#58652)

   Salt 3002.1 Release Notes
       Version 3002.1 is a CVE fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Prevent shell injections in netapi ssh client (cve-2020-16846)

       • Prevent  creating  world  readable  private  keys  with  the   tls   execution   module.
         (cve-2020-17490)

       • Properly  validate  eauth  credentials  and tokens along with their ACLs.  Prior to this
         change eauth was not properly validated when calling Salt  ssh  via  the  salt-api.  Any
         value  for 'eauth' or 'token' would allow a user to bypass authentication and make calls
         to Salt ssh. (CVE-2020-25592)

   Salt 3002.2 Release Notes
       Version 3002.2 is a bugfix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Change dict check to isinstance instead  of  type()  for  key_values  in  file.keyvalue.
         (#57758)

       • Fail when func_ret is False when using the new module.run syntax. (#57768)

       • Fix comparison of certificate values (#58296)

       • When using ssh_pre_flight if there is a failure, fail on retcode not stderr. (#58439)

       • Fix use of unauthd cached vmware service instance (#58691)

       • Removing use of undefined varilable in utils/slack.py. (#58753)

       • Restored  the  ability  to  specify  the  amount  of  extents  for a Logical Volume as a
         percentage. (#58759)

       • Ensuring that the version check function is run a second time in all  the  user  related
         functions  in  case  the  user being managed is the connection user and the password has
         been updated. (#58773)

       • Allow bytes in gpg renderer (#58794)

       • Fix issue where win_wua module fails to load when BITS is set to Manual (#58848)

       • Ensure that elasticsearch.index_exists is available  before  loading  the  elasticsearch
         returner. (#58851)

       • Log  a  different  object  when debugging if we're using disk cache vs memory cache. The
         disk cache pillar class has the dict object but the cache pillar object  which  is  used
         with  the  memory  cache  does not include a _dict obeject because it is a dict already.
         (#58861)

       • Do not generate grains for every job run on Windows minions. This makes Windows  conform
         more to the way posix OSes work today. (#58904)

       • Fixes salt-ssh authentication when using tty (#58922)

       • Revert  LazyLoader finalizer. Removed the weakref.finalizer code. On some occasions, the
         finalized would run when trying to load a new module, firing a race condition. (#58947)

   Salt 3002.3 Release Notes
       Version 3002.3 is a CVE fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • CVE-2020-28243 - Fix local privilege escalation in the restartcheck module.

       • CVE-2020-28972 - Ensure authentication to vcenter, vsphere, and  esxi  server  validates
         the  SSL/TLS  certificate  by  default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use
         verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2020-35662 - Ensure the asam runner, qingcloud, splunk returner, panos  proxy,  cimc
         proxy,  zenoss  module, esxi module, vsphere module, glassfish module, bigip module, and
         keystone module validate SSL by default. If you want to skip SSL  verification  you  can
         use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2021-3148 - Fix a command injection in the Salt-API when using the Salt-SSH client.

       • CVE-2021-3144 - Fix eauth tokens can be used once after expiration

       • CVE-2021-25281 - Fix salt-api so it honors eauth credentials for the wheel_async client.

       • CVE-2021-25282 - Fix the salt.wheel.pillar_roots.write method so it is not vulnerable to
         directory traversal.

       • CVE-2021-25283 - Fix the jinja render to protect against server side template  injection
         attacks.

   Fixed
       • Fix runners that broke when patching for CVE-2021-25281

       • Fix issue with runners in SSE

   Known Issue
       When using the Salt-API with the SSH client some  of  the  SSH  options  are  not  working
       currently  and will be fixed in an upcoming bug fix release.  We are currently testing and
       fixing which options still need to be fixed, but have confirmed the following ones do  not
       work  in  this  release: extra-filerefs, pre-flight.  This does not impact normal Salt-SSH
       usage on the cli.

       Version 3002.6 is a bug fix release for 3002.

   Changed
       • Store git sha in salt/_version.py when installing from a tag  so  it  can  be  found  if
         needed later. (#59137)

   Fixed
       • Fix argument injection bug in restartcheck.restartcheck. This change hardens the fix for
         CVE-2020-28243. (#200)

       • Allow "extra_filerefs" as sanitized kwargs for SSH client.  Fix regression on  "cmd.run"
         when passing tuples as cmd. (#59664)

       • Allow all ssh kwargs as sanitized kwargs for SSH client. (#59748)

   Salt 3002.7 (2021-08-20)
       Version 3002.7 is a CVE security fix release for 3002.

   Fixed
       • Verify  the  owner of an existing config before trusting it during install. If the owner
         cannot be verified, back it up and use defaults. (CVE-2021-22004)

   Security
       • Fix the CVE-2021-31607 vulnerability Additionally, an audit and a tool was put in place,

         (CVE-2021-31607)

       • Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)

   Salt 3001 Release Notes - Codename Sodium
   Python 2 Dropped
       Python     2     support     has     been     dropped     in      Salt      3001.      See
       https://community.saltstack.com/blog/sunsetting-python-2-support/ for more info.

   Salt mine updates
   Syntax update
       The  syntax  for  defining  salt  functions  in config or pillar files has changed to also
       support the syntax used in module.run.  The old syntax for the mine_function - as a  dict,
       or  as  a  list with dicts that contain more than exactly one key - is still supported but
       discouraged in favor of the more uniform syntax of module.run.

   State updates
       The creates state requisite has been migrated from the docker_container and cmd states  to
       become  a  global  option. This acts similar to an equivalent unless: test -f filename but
       can also accept a list of filenames. This allows all  states  to  take  advantage  of  the
       enhanced  functionality released in Neon, of allowing salt execution modules for requisite
       checks.

       When using salt functions onlyif or unless requisites, a get_return key can now be used to
       specify  a  key  to  evaluate for truthiness. This can be used for execution modules which
       return status in a nested key.

              test:
                test.nop:
                  - name: foo
                  - onlyif:
                    - fun: consul.get
                      consul_url: http://127.0.0.1:8500
                      key:  not-existing
                      get_return: res

   State Execution Module
       The state.test function can be used to test a state on a minion. This works  by  executing
       the  state.apply  function  while  forcing  the test kwarg to True so that the state.apply
       function is not required to be called by the user directly. This also allows  you  to  add
       the  state.test  function to a minion's minion_blackout_whitelist pillar if you wish to be
       able to test a state while a minion is in blackout.

   New Grains
   systempath
       This grain provides the same information as the path grain, only formatted as  a  list  of
       directories.

   Salt-SSH updates
   ssh_pre_flight
       A  new  Salt-SSH  roster  option  ssh_pre_flight has been added. This enables you to run a
       script before Salt-SSH tries to run any commands. You can set this option  in  the  roster
       for a specific minion or use the roster_defaults to set it for all minions.

       Example for setting ssh_pre_flight for specific host in roster file

          minion1:
            host: localhost
            user: root
            passwd: P@ssword
            ssh_pre_flight: /srv/salt/pre_flight.sh

       Example for setting ssh_pre_flight using roster_defaults, so all minions run this script.

          roster_defaults:
            ssh_pre_flight: /srv/salt/pre_flight.sh

       The ssh_pre_flight script will only run if the thin dir is not currently on the minion. If
       you want to force the script to run you have the following options:

       • Wipe the thin dir on the targeted minion using the -w arg.

       • Set ssh_run_pre_flight to True in the config.

       • Run salt-ssh with the --pre-flight arg.

   set_path
       A new salt-ssh roster option set_path has been added. This allows  you  to  set  the  path
       environment  variable  used to run the salt-ssh command on the target minion.  You can set
       this setting in your roster file like so:

          minion1:
            host: localhost
            user: root
            passwd: P@ssword
            set_path: '$PATH:/usr/local/bin/'

   auto_detect
       You can now auto detect the dependencies to be packed into the salt thin  when  using  the
       ssh_ext_alternatives feature.

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2019.2:                     # Namespace, can be anything.
                  py-version: [2, 7]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2019.2/salt  # Main Salt installation directory.
                  auto_detect: True       # Auto detect dependencies
                  py_bin: /usr/bin/python2.7 # Python binary path used to auto detect dependencies

       This  new  auto_detect  option  needs  to  be  set  to  True  in your ssh_ext_alternatives
       configuration.  Salt-ssh will attempt to auto detect  the  file  paths  required  for  the
       default  dependencies to include in the thin. If you have a dependency already set in your
       configuration, it will not attempt to auto detect for that dependency.

       You can also set the py_bin option to set the python binary to be used to auto detect  the
       dependencies. If py_bin is not set, it will attempt to use the major Python version set in
       py-version. For example, if you set py-version to be [2, 7] it will attempt  to  find  and
       use the python2 binary.

   State Changes
       • Adding a new option for the State compiler, disabled_requisites will allow requisites to
         be disabled during State runs.

   Salt Renderer updates
       A new renderer for toml files has been added.

          #!jinja|toml

          {% set myvar = "sometext" %}

          [["some id"."test.nop"]]
          name = "{{ myvar }}"
          [["some id"."test.nop"]]
          txt = "hello"
          [["some id"."test.nop"]]
          "somekey" = "somevalue"

   Execution Module updates
   Vault Module
       The vault module has  been  updated  with  the  ability  to  cache  generated  tokens.  By
       specifying  uses  and  optionally ttl, the token generated on behalf of the minion will be
       allowed to persist and function for the defined time period or  number  of  uses.  Setting
       uses: 0 creates an unlimited use token, that is only constrained by the ttl.

          vault:
            auth:
              uses: 25

       This  functionality is configured by default on the master and is thus shared behavior for
       all minion token generation.   To  delegate  use  count  to  individual  minions,  specify
       allow_minion_override:  True  in  the master config, and define uses and ttl in the minion
       config as directed above.

          vault:
          auth:
            method: token
            allow_minion_override: True

       Additionally, the  vault  module  now  supports  Vault  secrets  backend  version  2.  The
       approperate  secrets  backend  will  be  automatically  detected,  and  cached in the same
       credentials file as long lived vault tokens mentioned above. For any  configurations  that
       worked  around  KV  v2  handling  by adding a manual data key to the end of vault lookups,
       salt['vault'].read_secret('secret/my/secret')['data'], these  are  automatically  detected
       and will continue to function, but will generate a debug log message and can be removed.

       The  long  lived  token  and  secret  metadata  cache  file  can  be  cleared with the new
       vault.clear_token_cache execution function.

   Salt 3001.1 Release Notes
       Version 3001.1 is a bugfix release for 3001.

   Changed
       • Change the enable_fqdns_grains setting to default to False on Windows  to  address  some
         issues with slowness. (#56296, #57529)

       • Handle  the  UCRT  libraries  the  same  way  they are handled in the Python 3 installer
         (#57594)

       • Changes the 'SSDs' grain name to 'ssds' as all grains needs to be  resolved  in  lowered
         case. (#57612)

   Fixed
       • When  running  scheduled  jobs  from  a  proxy  minion  with  multiprocessing turned off
         (default) a recursive error occurs as __pub_fun_args is repeated over and over again  in
         the kwargs element in the data dictionary.  Now we make a copy of data['kwargs'] instead
         of using a reference. (#57941)

       • The x509.certificate_managed state no longer triggers a change because of sorting issues
         if the certificate being evaluated was previously generated under Python 2. (#56556)

       • Added  support  to lo ip alias in network.managed state by checking if lo inet data from
         network.interfaces contains label with the name of  managed  interface.   Return  status
         True if match found. (#56901)

       • Redact  passwords in the return when setting credentials using win_iis.container_setting
         (#57285)

       • Fixes issue with cmd.powershell. Some powershell commands  do  not  return  anything  in
         stdout.  This  causes the JSON parser to fail because an empty string is not valid JSON.
         This changes an empty string to {} which is valid JSON  and  will  not  cause  the  JSON
         loader to stacktrace. (#57493)

       • Improves  performance.  Profiling  test.ping  on Windows shows that 13 of 17 seconds are
         wasted when the esxi grain loads vsphere before noting that the OS is not a  esxi  host.
         (#57529)

       • Fixed  permissions  issue with certain pip/virtualenv states/modules when configured for
         non-root user. (#57550)

       • Allow running nox sessions either using our nox-py2 fork or upstream nox. (#57583)

       • Fixes issue with lgpo.get when there are unicode characters in the hostname (#57591)

       • Fixes issue with virtual block devices, like loopbacks and LVMs, wrongly populating  the
         "disks" or "ssds" grains. (#57612)

       • Due  to  some  optimization  the  virtual  grain  was never updated on illumos. Move the
         fallback in prtdiag output parsing outside the loop that now gets  skipped  due  to  the
         command exiting non-zero. (#57714)

       • Grains module delkey and delval methods now support the force option. This is needed for
         deleting grains with complex (nested) values. (#57718)

       • Moving import salt.modules.vsphere into __virtual__ so we have access to test  proxytype
         in  opts,  previously  this was causing a traceback when run on proxy minion as __opts__
         does not exist outside of any functions. Introducing a new utils function, is_proxytype,
         to  check  that  the  device  is  a  proxy  minion and also that the proxy type matches.
         (#57743)

       • Fixed fail_with_changes in the test state to  use  the  comment  argument  when  passed.
         (#57766)

       • Adds a fix so salt can run on the latest macOS version Big Sur. (#57787)

       • Fixes UnpackValueError when using GPG cache by using atomic open. (#57798)

       • The gid_from_name argument was removed from the user.present state in version 3001, with
         no deprecation path. It has been restored and put on a proper deprecation path. (#57843)

       • Fixes dictionary being changed during iteration. (#57845)

   Added
       • Added docs demonstrating how to apply an MSI patch with winrepo (#32780)

   Salt 3001.2 Release Notes

       Version 3001.3 is a CVE fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Properly  validate  eauth  credentials  and tokens along with their ACLs.  Prior to this
         change eauth was not properly validated when calling Salt  ssh  via  the  salt-api.  Any
         value  for 'eauth' or 'token' would allow a user to bypass authentication and make calls
         to Salt ssh. (CVE-2020-25592)

   Salt 3001.6 Release Notes
       Version 3001.6 is a bug fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Fix runners that broke when patching for CVE-2021-25281

       • Fix issue with runners in SSE

   Known Issue
       When using the Salt-API with the SSH client some  of  the  SSH  options  are  not  working
       currently  and will be fixed in an upcoming bug fix release.  We are currently testing and
       fixing which options still need to be fixed, but have confirmed the following ones do  not
       work  in  this  release: extra-filerefs, pre-flight.  This does not impact normal Salt-SSH
       usage on the cli.

   Salt 3001.7 Release Notes
       Version 3001.7 is a bug fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Allow "extra_filerefs" as sanitized kwargs for SSH client.  Fix regression on  "cmd.run"
         when passing tuples as cmd. (#59664)

       • Allow all ssh kwargs as sanitized kwargs for SSH client. (#59748)

       • Fix argument injection bug in restartcheck.restartcheck. This change hardens the fix for
         CVE-2020-28243.

   Salt 3001.8 (2021-08-20)
       Version 3001.8 is a CVE security fix release for 3001.

   Fixed
       • Verify the owner of an existing config before trusting it during install. If  the  owner
         cannot be verified, back it up and use defaults. (CVE-2021-22004)

   Security
       • Fix the CVE-2021-31607 vulnerability Additionally, an audit and a tool was put in place,
         bandit,  to  address  similar  issues  througout  the  code  base,  and  prevent   them.
         (CVE-2021-31607)

       • Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)

   Salt 3000 Release Notes - Codename Neon
   Security Advisory
       For  historical reasons, Salt requires PyCrypto as a "lowest common denominator". However,
       PyCrypto is unmaintained and best practice is to manually upgrade to use a more maintained
       library such as PyCryptodome. See Issue #52674 and Issue #54115 for more info

   New Versioning
       The  neon  release  has  removed the date versioning. Going forward we will use a non-date
       based version schema beginning at 3000. The version will be  MAJOR.PATCH.  For  a  planned
       release containing features and/or bug fixes the MAJOR version will be incremented. Please
       review the approved SEP for further details.

       The new versioning scheme is PEP 440 compliant, but distutils.StrictVersion will result in
       an error invalid version number. If using StrictVersion to compare Salt's versions, please
       use LooseVersion. There is also the packaging library you can  use  to  compare  versions.
       Another alternative is using the salt version module

   Python 3.8 Not Supported
       Please  note  that  running  Salt  with  Python  3.8  is  currently  not supported.  It is
       recommended to not use a version higher than 3.7.

   Vendored Tornado Code Base
       The Tornado code base has been included as salt.ext.tornado. This was done  to  provide  a
       consistent  version  of  Tornado across all operating systems while we continue to work on
       upgrading Tornado to a recent version. New code that uses Tornado should import the module
       from salt.ext.tornado instead of importing the system version of Tornado.

   Msgpack 1.0.0rc1 Incompatibility
       Salt  is currently incompatible with msgpack 1.0.0rc1. We recommend using versions < 1.0.0
       . This impacts the Salt Master's ability to run commands against minions. Please see Issue
       56007 for more details and updates.

   Pip Installing Salt On Windows
       This  release  will not install correctly on windows when using pip to install salt.  This
       issue is addressed in PR 56099.  The workaround for this issue is:

          pip install "pywin32==224" "WMI==1.4.9"

       Those using the Salt Windows Installer are not affected by this issue.

   Saltcheck Updates
       Available since 2018.3, the saltcheck module has been enhanced to:

       • Support saltenv environments

       • Associate tests with states by naming convention

       • Adds report_highstate_tests function

       • Adds empty and notempty assertions

       • Adds skip keyword

       • Adds print_result keyword

       • Adds assertion_section keyword

       • Use saltcheck.state_apply to run state.apply for test setup or teardown

       • Changes output to display test time

       • Works with salt-ssh

       Saltcheck provides unittest like functionality requiring only the knowledge of salt module
       execution  and  yaml.  Saltcheck  uses salt modules to return data, then runs an assertion
       against that return. This allows for testing  with  all  the  features  included  in  salt
       modules.

       In  order  to run state and highstate saltcheck tests, a sub-folder in the state directory
       must be created and named saltcheck-tests. Tests for a state should be  created  in  files
       ending  in  *.tst  and placed in the saltcheck-tests folder. tst files are run through the
       salt rendering system, enabling tests to be written in yaml (or renderer of  choice),  and
       include  jinja,  as  well as the usual grain and pillar information. Like states, multiple
       tests can be specified  in  a  tst  file.  Multiple  tst  files  can  be  created  in  the
       saltcheck-tests  folder, and should be named the same as the associated state. The id of a
       test works in the same manner as in salt state files and should be unique and descriptive.

   Usage
       Example file system layout:

          /srv/salt/apache/
              init.sls
              config.sls
              saltcheck-tests/
                  init.tst
                  config.tst
                  deployment_validation.tst

       Tests can be run for each state by name, for all apache/saltcheck/*.tst files, or for  all
       states  assigned  to  the  minion in top.sls. Tests may also be created with no associated
       state. These tests will be run through the use of saltcheck.run_state_tests, but will  not
       be automatically run by saltcheck.run_highstate_tests.

          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache,apache.config
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache check_all=True
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_highstate_tests
          salt '*' saltcheck.run_state_tests apache.deployment_validation

   Example Tests

            assertion: assertFalse
            skip: True

   Output Format Changes
       Saltcheck  output  has been enhanced to display the time taken per test. This results in a
       change to the output format.

   Unless and onlyif Enhancements
       The unless and onlyif requisites can now be operated with salt  modules.   The  dictionary
       must  contain  an  argument fun which is the module that is being run, and everything else
       must be passed in under the args key or will be passed as individual kwargs to the  module
       function.

       NOTE:
          Certain states have an unless/onlyif implementation that predates this feature, and may
          not work as expected:

          • states.git

          • states.cmd

          • states.macpackage

          • states.file

          • states.docker_container

       Examples:

          check external ip address:
            http.query:
              - name: https://icanhazip.com
              - status: 200
              - onlyif:
                - fun: file.file_exists
                  path: /usr/local/bin/whatever

       is equivalent to

          check another ip address:
            http.query:
              - name: https://icanhazip.com
              - status: 200
              - onlyif:
                - test -f /tmp/fnord.txt

       Another example:

          set mysql root password:
            debconf.set:
              - name: mysql-server-5.7
              - data:
                  'mysql-server/root_password': {'type': 'password', 'value': {{pillar['mysql.pass']}} }
              - unless:
                - fun: pkg.version
                  args:
                    - mysql-server-5.7

   Keystore State and Module
       A new state and execution module for manaing Java  Keystore  files  is  now  included.  It
       allows for adding/removing/listing as well as managing keystore files.

          # salt-call keystore.list /path/to/keystore.jks changeit
          local:
            |_
              ----------
              alias:
                  hostname1
              expired:
                  True
              sha1:
                  CB:5E:DE:50:57:99:51:87:8E:2E:67:13:C5:3B:E9:38:EB:23:7E:40
              type:

          define_keystore:
            keystore.managed:
              - name: /tmp/statestore.jks
              - passphrase: changeit
              - force_remove: True
              - entries:

   XML Module
       A  new  state  and  execution  module  for editing XML files is now included. Currently it
       allows for editing values from an xpath query, or editing XML IDs.

          # salt-call xml.set_attribute /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='3']" editedby "Jane Doe"
          local:
              True
          # salt-call xml.get_attribute /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='3']"
          local:
              ----------
              editedby:
                  Jane Doe
              id:
                  3
          # salt-call xml.get_value /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='2']"
          local:
              Liam Neeson
          # salt-call xml.set_value /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='2']" "Patrick Stewart"
          local:
              True
          # salt-call xml.get_value /tmp/test.xml ".//actor[@id='2']"
          local:
              Patrick Stewart

          ensure_value_true:
            xml.value_present:
              - name: /tmp/test.xml
              - xpath: .//actor[@id='1']
              - value: William Shatner

   LGPO Execution Module
       Multiple fixes were made to the win_lgpo to expand support  for  additional  policies  and
       improve  performance.  Issues  with  encoding  and  unsupported  characters (smart-quotes,
       em-dash, etc) found in the ADML files as well as whitespace in  some  policies  have  been
       addressed.

       Speed enhancements include:

       • Caching the compiled xml from ADMX/ADML files in __context__

       • Lowercasing all keys before compiling XML to remove an expensive XPath lookup

       Additional functionality:

       • Adds  the  lgpo.get_policy  function  that  allows you to get the current settings for a
         single policy.

       • Changes some policy names that were overly long

   LGPO State Module
       Multiple changes were made to the win_lgpo state to improve performance.

       It now uses the lgpo.get_policy function instead of the lgpo.get to  avoid  reloading  all
       settings on the machine at the beginning and end of each state run.

       Supports  the  new  shorter  policy  names  but also attempts to resolve the older, longer
       policy names.

   Win_network Salt Util
       Now uses .NET libraries to obtain Interface information on Windows  systems  that  support
       it.  Unsupported  systems  fall back to the more expensive WMI calls. This is important as
       this data is gathered for grains and occurs each time a process is forked.

   Jinja enhancements
   Troubleshooting Jinja map files
       A new execution module for map.jinja troubleshooting has been added.

       Assuming the map is loaded in your formula SLS as follows:

          {% from "myformula/map.jinja" import myformula with context %}

       The following command can be used to load the map and check the results:

          salt myminion jinja.load_map myformula/map.jinja myformula

       The module can be also used to test json and yaml maps:

          salt myminion jinja.import_yaml myformula/defaults.yaml

          salt myminion jinja.import_json myformula/defaults.json

   json_query filter
       A port of Ansible json_query Jinja filter has been added. It allows making queries against
       JSON  data  using  JMESPath  language. Could be used to filter pillar data, yaml maps, and
       also useful with http_query.

       Depends on the jmespath Python module.

   Slot Syntax Updates
       The slot syntax has been updated to support parsing dictionary  responses  and  to  append
       text.

          demo dict parsing and append:
            test.configurable_test_state:
              - name: slot example
              - changes: False
              - comment: __slot__:salt:test.arg(shell="/bin/bash").kwargs.shell ~ /appended

          local:
            ----------
                  ID: demo dict parsing and append
            Function: test.configurable_test_state
                Name: slot example
              Result: True
             Comment: /bin/bash/appended
             Started: 09:59:58.623575
            Duration: 1.229 ms
             Changes:

       Also,  slot parsing is now supported inside of nested state data structures (dicts, lists,
       unless/onlyif args):

          demo slot parsing for nested elements:
            file.managed:
              - name: /tmp/slot.txt
              - source: salt://slot.j2
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  # Slot inside of the nested context dictionary
                  variable: __slot__:salt:test.echo(a_value)
              - unless:
                - fun: file.search
                  args:
                    # Slot as unless argument
                    - __slot__:salt:test.echo(/tmp/slot.txt)
                    - "DO NOT OVERRIDE"
                  ignore_if_missing: True

   State Changes
       • The file.symlink state was fixed to remove  existing  file  system  entries  other  than
         files, directories and symbolic links properly.

       • The  onchanges  and  prereq requisites now behave properly in test mode, due to removing
         pchanges.

       • Added new ssh_auth.manage state to ensure only the specified ssh keys  are  present  for
         the specified user.

       • Added new saltutil state to use instead of module.run to more easily handle change.

   Module Changes
       • Added new boto_ssm module to set and query secrets in AWS SSM parameters.

       • Added new flatpak module to work with flatpak packages.

       • The  file.remove  module  was  fixed  to  remove  file  system entries other than files,
         directories and symbolic links properly.

       • The debian_ip module used by the network.managed state has been heavily refactored.  The
         order  that  options  appear  in  inet/inet6  blocks  may produce cosmetic changes. Many
         options without an 'ipvX' prefix will now be shared between inet and inet6  blocks.  The
         options  enable_ipv4  and enabled_ipv6 will now fully remove relevant inet/inet6 blocks.
         Overriding options by prefixing them with 'ipvX' will now work with most  options  (i.e.
         dns can be overridden by ipv4dns or ipv6dns). The proto option is now required.

   Enhancements to Engines
       Multiple  copies  of  a  particular  Salt  engine  can  be  configured  by  including  the
       engine_module parameter in the engine configuration.

          engines:
            - production_logstash:
                host: production_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash
            - develop_logstash:
                host: develop_log.my_network.com
                port: 5959
                proto: tcp
                engine_module: logstash

       • A new fluent engine has been added to export Salt events to fluentd.

            engines:
              - fluent
                  host: localhost
                  port: 24224

            <source>
              @type forward
              port 24224
            </source>
            <match saltstack.**>
              @type file
              path /var/log/td-agent/saltstack
            </match>

   Enhancements to Beacons
       Multiple  copies  of  a  particular  Salt  beacon  can  be  configured  by  including  the
       beacon_module parameter in the beacon configuration.

              beacons:
                watch_importand_file:
                  - files:
                      /etc/important_file: {}

   Enhancements to chroot
       • New  functions  added to chroot apply, sls, and highstate that allow executing states in
         sls files or running apply/highstate inside of a chroot.

   Minion-side ACL
       Salt has had  master-side  ACL  for  the  salt  mine  for  some  time,  where  the  master
       configuration  contained  mine_get  that  specified  which  minions  could  request  which
       functions. However, now you can specify which minions can access a function  in  the  salt
       mine  function  definition  itself  (or when calling mine.send).  This targeting works the
       same as the generic minion targeting as specified here. The parameters used are  allow_tgt
       and  allow_tgt_type.  See also the documentation of the Salt Mine. Please note that if you
       want to use this new feature both your minion and masters  will  need  to  be  on  atleast
       version 3000.

   Salt 3000.2 Release Notes
       Version 3000.2 is a CVE-fix release for 3000.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2020-11651

       An  issue  was  discovered  in SaltStack Salt before 2019.2.4 and 3000 before 3000.2.  The
       salt-master process ClearFuncs class does not properly validate method calls. This  allows
       a  remote user to access some methods without authentication. These methods can be used to
       retrieve user tokens from the salt master and/or run arbitrary commands on salt minions.

       CVE-2020-11652

       An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 2019.2.4 and  3000  before  3000.2.   The
       salt-master  process  ClearFuncs  class  allows  access  to  some  methods that improperly
       sanitize paths. These methods allow arbitrary directory access to authenticated users.

   Known Issue
       Part of the fix for CVE-2020-11651 added better validation of the methods  allowed  to  be
       called  by  remote  clients.   Both  AESFuncs  and ClearFuncs now have an explicit list of
       methods that can be called.  The name of one of these whitlisted methods on AESFuncs had a
       typo.   The _minion_runner method should be minion_runner (without the underscore prefix).
       This typo breaks the publish module’s runner method.  Calling runners, for example:

          salt minion publish.runner manage.down

       Will not work, and you will receive and empty reply from the salt master.

       This will be addressed in the 3001 release of Salt set for mid-June 2020.

   Salt 3000.5 Release Notes
       Version 3000.5 is a CVE fix release for 3000.

   Fixed
       • Properly  validate  eauth  credentials  and tokens along with their ACLs.  Prior to this
         change eauth was not properly validated when calling Salt  ssh  via  the  salt-api.  Any
         value  for 'eauth' or 'token' would allow a user to bypass authentication and make calls
         to Salt ssh. (CVE-2020-25592)

       Version 3000.7 is a CVE fix release for 3000.

   Fixed
       • CVE-2020-28243 - Fix local privilege escalation in the restartcheck module.

       • CVE-2020-28972 - Ensure authentication to vcenter, vsphere, and  esxi  server  validates
         the  SSL/TLS  certificate  by  default. If you want to skip SSL verification you can use
         verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2020-35662 - Ensure the asam runner, qingcloud, splunk returner, panos  proxy,  cimc
         proxy,  zenoss  module, esxi module, vsphere module, glassfish module, bigip module, and
         keystone module validate SSL by default. If you want to skip SSL  verification  you  can
         use verify_ssl: False.

       • CVE-2021-3148 - Fix a command injection in the Salt-API when using the Salt-SSH client.

       • CVE-2021-3144 - Fix eauth tokens can be used once after expiration

       • CVE-2021-25281 - Fix salt-api so it honors eauth credentials for the wheel_async client.

       • CVE-2021-25282 - Fix the salt.wheel.pillar_roots.write method so it is not vulnerable to
         directory traversal.

       • CVE-2021-25283 - Fix the jinja render to protect against server side template  injection
         attacks.

         netapi.

   Salt 3000.8 Release Notes
       Version 3000.8 is a bug fix release for 3000.

   Fixed
       • Fix runners that broke when patching for CVE-2021-25281

       • Fix issue with runners in SSE

   Known Issue
       When using the Salt-API with the SSH client some  of  the  SSH  options  are  not  working
       currently  and will be fixed in an upcoming bug fix release.  We are currently testing and
       fixing which options still need to be fixed, but have confirmed the following ones do  not
       work  in  this  release: extra-filerefs, pre-flight.  This does not impact normal Salt-SSH
       usage on the cli.

   Salt 3000.9 Release Notes
       Version 3000.9 is a bug fix release for 3000.

   Fixed
       • Allow "extra_filerefs" as sanitized kwargs for SSH client.  Fix regression on  "cmd.run"
         when passing tuples as cmd. (#59664)

       • Allow all ssh kwargs as sanitized kwargs for SSH client. (#59748)

       • Fix argument injection bug in restartcheck.restartcheck. This change hardens the fix for
         CVE-2020-28243.

   Salt 2019.2.0 Release Notes - Codename Fluorine
   Python 2.7 Deprecation
       In light of Python 2.7 reaching its End of Life (EOL) on Jan 1st 2020, Python  2  will  be
       deprecated  from  SaltStack  no  earlier  than  the  3001 release, that is either the 3001
       release or a later release.  This decision is pending further community discussion.

   Known Issues
       The following are known issues for the 2019.2.0 release and will be fixed for 2019.2.1:

       • #51699

   Non-Backward-Compatible Change to YAML Renderer
       In earlier releases, this was considered valid usage in Python 2, assuming that data was a
       list or dictionary containing keys/values which are unicode types:

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data }}

       One common use case for this is when using one of Salt's custom Jinja filters which return
       lists or dictionaries, such as the ipv4 filter.

       In Python 2, Jinja will render the unicode string types within  the  list/dictionary  with
       the  "u"  prefix  (e.g.  {u'foo':  u'bar'}).  While not valid YAML, earlier releases would
       successfully load these values.

       As of this release, the above SLS would result in an error message. To allow  for  a  data
       structure to be dumped directly into your SLS file, use the tojson Jinja filter:

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data|tojson }}

       Another example where the new filter needs to be used is the following state example:

          grafana_packages:
            pkg.installed:
            - names: {{ server.pkgs }}

       This will fail when pkgs is a list or dictionary. You will need to update the state:

          grafana_packages:
            pkg.installed:
            - names: {{ server.pkgs|tojson }}

       This test case has also been tested with the yaml and json filters successfully.

       NOTE:
          This  filter  was  added  in Jinja 2.9. However, fear not! The 2018.3.3 release added a
          tojson filter which will be used if this filter  is  not  already  present,  making  it
          available  on  platforms  like  RHEL 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 which provide older versions of
          Jinja.

       IMPORTANT:
          The json_encode_dict and json_encode_list filters do not actually dump the  results  to
          JSON.  Since  tojson  accomplishes what those filters were designed to do, they are now
          deprecated and will be removed in the 3000 release. The tojson filter should be used in
          all cases where json_encode_dict and json_encode_list would have been used.

   Ansible Playbook State and Execution Modules
       Along  with the including the ansible modules in the Oxygen release, running playbooks has
       been added in 2019.2.0 with  the  playbooks  function.   This  also  includes  an  ansible
       playbooks  state  module which can be used on a targeted host to run ansible playbooks, or
       used in an orchestration state runner.

          install nginx:
            ansible.playbooks:
              - name: install.yml
              - git_repo: git://github.com/gtmanfred/playbook.git
              - git_kwargs:
                  rev: master

       The playbooks modules also includes the ability to specify a git repo to clone and use, or
       a specific directory can to used when running the playbook.

   Network Automation
       Beginning  with  this release, Salt provides much broader support for a variety of network
       operating systems, and features for  configuration  manipulation  or  operational  command
       execution.

   NetBox
       Added  in  the previous release, 2018.3.0, the capabilities of the netbox Execution Module
       have been extended, with a much longer list of available features:

       • netbox.create_circuitnetbox.create_circuit_providernetbox.create_circuit_terminationnetbox.create_circuit_typenetbox.create_devicenetbox.create_device_rolenetbox.create_device_typenetbox.create_interfacenetbox.create_interface_connectionnetbox.create_inventory_itemnetbox.create_ipaddressnetbox.create_manufacturernetbox.create_platformnetbox.create_sitenetbox.delete_interfacenetbox.delete_inventory_itemnetbox.delete_ipaddressnetbox.get_circuit_providernetbox.get_interfacesnetbox.get_ipaddressesnetbox.make_interface_childnetbox.make_interface_lagnetbox.openconfig_interfacesnetbox.openconfig_lacpnetbox.update_devicenetbox.update_interface

       Besides this Execution Module, Salt users can load data  directly  from  NetBox  into  the
       device Pillar, via the netbox External Pillar module.

   Netmiko
       Netmiko, the multi-vendor library to simplify Paramiko SSH connections to network devices,
       is now officially integrated into Salt. The network community can use it via  the  netmiko
       Proxy  Module  or directly from any Salt Minions, passing the connection credentials - see
       the documentation for the netmiko Execution Module.

   Arista
       Arista switches can now be managed running under the pyeapi Proxy Module, and execute  RPC
       requests via the pyeapi Execution Module.

   Cisco Nexus
       While  support  for  SSH-based  operations  has  been added in the release codename Carbon
       (2016.11), the new nxos_api Proxy Module and nxos_api  allow  management  of  Cisco  Nexus
       switches via the NX-API.

       It  is important to note that these modules don't have third party dependencies, therefore
       they can be used straight away from any Salt Minion. This also means that the user may  be
       able  to  install  the  regular  Salt  Minion  on the Nexus switch directly and manage the
       network devices like a regular server.

   General-purpose Modules
       The new ciscoconfparse Execution Module can  be  used  for  basic  configuration  parsing,
       audit  or  validation  for  a  variety  of   network  platforms  having  Cisco  IOS  style
       configuration (one space indentation), as well as brace-delimited configuration style.

       The iosconfig can be used for various  configuration  manipulation  for  Cisco  IOS  style
       configuration, such as: configuration cleanup, tree representation of the config, etc.

   NAPALM
   Commit At and Commit Confirmed
       Beginning  with  this release, NAPALM users are able to execute scheduled commits (broadly
       known as "commit at") and "commit confirmed" (revert the configuration change  unless  the
       user confirms by running another command). These features are available via the commit_in,
       commit_at, revert_in, or revert_at arguments for the net.load_config and net.load_template
       execution functions, or netconfig.managed.

       The  counterpart  execution functions net.confirm_commit, or net.cancel_commit, as well as
       the State functions netconfig.commit_cancelled, or netconfig.commit_confirmed can be  used
       to confirm or cancel a commit.

       Please  note  that the commit confirmed and commit cancelled functionalities are available
       for any platform whether the network  devices  supports  the  features  natively  or  not.
       However,  be  cautious and make sure you read and understand the caveats before using them
       in production.

   Multiple Templates Rendered Simultaneously
       The template_name argument of the net.load_template Execution and netconfig.managed  State
       function  now  supports a list of templates. This is particularly useful when a very large
       Jinja template is split into multiple smaller  and  easier  to  read  templates  that  can
       eventually  be reused in other States. For example, the following syntax is not correct to
       manage the configuration of NTP and BGP simultaneously, using two different templates  and
       changing the device configuration through one single commit:

          manage_bgp_and_ntp:
            netconfig.managed:
              - template_name:
                  - salt://templates/bgp.jinja
                  - salt://templates/ntp.jinja
              - context:
                  bpg: {{ pillar.bgp }}
                  ntp: {{ pillar.ntp }}

   Connection Re-establishment on Demand
       Beginning with this release, any NAPALM command executed when running under a NAPALM Proxy
       Minion supports the force_reconnect magic argument.

       Proxy Minions generally establish a connection with the remote network device at the  time
       of the Minion startup and that connection is going to be used forever.

       If  one  would  need  to execute a command on the device but is connecting using different
       parameters (due to various causes, e.g., unable to authenticate the user specified in  the
       Pillar as the authentication system - say TACACS+ is not available, or the DNS resolver is
       currently down and would like to temporarily use the IP address instead, etc.), it implies
       updating  the  Pillar data and restarting the Proxy Minion process restart.  In particular
       cases like that, you can pass the force_reconnect=True keyword argument, together with the
       alternative  connection  details,  to  enforce  the command to be executed over a separate
       connection.

       For example, if the usual command is salt '*'  net.arp,  you  can  use  the  following  to
       connect using a different username instead:

          salt '*' net.arp username=my-alt-usr force_reconnect=True

       The  same  goes  with  any  of  the  other configuration arguments required for the NAPALM
       connection - see NAPALM proxy documentation.

   Configuration Replace Features
       To replace various configuration chunks, you can use the new net.replace_pattern execution
       function,  or  the  netconfig.replace_pattern  State function. For example, if you want to
       update your configuration and rename a BGP policy referenced in many places, you can do so
       by running:

          salt '*' net.replace_pattern OLD-POLICY-CONFIG new-policy-config

       Similarly,  you  can  also  replace entire configuration blocks using the net.blockreplace
       function.

   Configuration Save Features
       The net.save_config function can be used to save the configuration of the  managed  device
       into  a  file.  For the State subsystem, the netconfig.saved function has been added which
       provides  a  complete  list  of  facilities  when  managing  the  target  file  where  the
       configuration of the network device can be saved.

       For example, backup the running configuration of each device under its own directory tree:

          /var/backups/{{ opts.id }}/running.cfg:
            netconfig.saved:
              - source: running
              - makedirs: true

       All  the new network automation modules mentioned above are directly exposed to the NAPALM
       users,  without  requiring  any  architectural  changes,  just  eventually  install   some
       requirements:

   Junos
       The  features  from  the  existing  junos Execution Module are available via the following
       functions:

       • napalm.junos_cli: Execute a CLI  command  and  return  the  output  as  text  or  Python
         dictionary.

       • napalm.junos_rpc:  Execute  an  RPC  request  on the remote Junos device, and return the
         result as a Python dictionary, easy to digest and manipulate.

       • napalm.junos_install_os: Install the given image on the device.

       • napalm.junos_facts: The complete  list  of  Junos  facts  collected  by  the  junos-eznc
         underlying library.

       NOTE:
          To  be  able  to use these features, you muse ensure that you meet the requirements for
          the junos module. As junos-eznc is already a dependency of NAPALM, you will  only  have
          to install jxmlease.

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.junos_cli 'show arp' format=xml
          salt '*' napalm.junos_rpc get-interface-information

   Netmiko
       The features from the newly added netmiko Execution Module are available as:

       • napalm.netmiko_commands:  Execute  one  or  more  commands  to  be execute on the remote
         device, via Netmiko, and return the output as a text.

       • napalm.netmiko_config: Load a list of configuration command on the  remote  device,  via
         Netmiko.  The  commands  can  equally  be loaded from a local or remote path, and passed
         through Salt's template rendering pipeline (by  default  using  Jinja  as  the  template
         rendering engine).

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.netmiko_commands 'show version' 'show interfaces'
          salt '*' napalm.netmiko_config config_file=https://bit.ly/2sgljCB

   Arista pyeapi
       For  various  operations  and  various extension modules, the following features have been
       added to gate functionality from the pyeapi module:

       • napalm.pyeapi_run_commands: Execute a list of commands on the  Arista  switch,  via  the
         pyeapi library.

       • napalm.pyeapi_config:  Configure  the Arista switch with the specified commands, via the
         pyeapi Python library. Similarly to napalm.netmiko_config, you can use  both  local  and
         remote files, with or without templating.

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.pyeapi_run_commands 'show version' 'show interfaces'
          salt '*' napalm.pyeapi_config config_file=salt://path/to/template.jinja

   Cisco NX-API
       In  the  exact  same  way  as  above, the user has absolute control by using the following
       primitives to manage Cisco Nexus switches via the NX-API:

       • napalm.nxos_api_show: Execute one or more show (non-configuration) commands, and  return
         the output as plain text or Python dictionary.

       • napalm.nxos_api_rpc: Execute arbitrary RPC requests via the Nexus API.

       • napalm.nxos_api_config: Configures the Nexus switch with the specified commands, via the
         NX-API. The commands can be loaded from the command line, or a  local  or  remote  file,
         eventually rendered using the templating engine of choice (default: jinja).

       Usage examples:

          salt '*' napalm.nxos_api_show 'show bgp sessions' 'show processes' raw_text=False

   Ciscoconfparse
       The  following  list  of  function may be handy when manipulating Cisco IOS or Junos style
       configurations:

       • napalm.config_filter_lines: Return a list of detailed  matches,  for  the  configuration
         blocks  (parent-child  relationship)  whose  parent  and  children  respect  the regular
         expressions provided.

       • napalm.config_find_lines:  Return  the  configuration  lines  that  match  the   regular
         expression provided.

       • napalm.config_lines_w_child:  Return  the  configuration  lines  that  match  a  regular
         expression, having child lines matching the child regular expression.

       • napalm.config_lines_wo_child: Return  the  configuration  lines  that  match  a  regular
         expression, that don't have child lines matching the child regular expression.

       NOTE:
          These functions require the ciscoconfparse Python library to be installed.

       Usage example (find interfaces that are administratively shut down):

          salt '*' napalm.config_lines_w_child 'interface' 'shutdown'

   IOSConfig
       For  Cisco  IOS  style configuration, the following features have been added to the napalm
       Execution Module:

       • napalm.config_tree:  Transform  Cisco  IOS  style  configuration  to  structured  Python
         dictionary, using the configuration of the interrogated network device.

       • napalm.config_merge_tree:  Return  the  merge  tree  of the configuration of the managed
         network device with a different  configuration  to  be  merged  with  (without  actually
         loading any changes on the device).

       • napalm.config_merge_text:  Return the merge result (as text) of the configuration of the
         managed network device with a different configuration to be merged with.

       • napalm.config_merge_diff: Return the merge diff after merging the configuration  of  the
         managed  network  device  with  a  different configuration (without actually loading any
         changes on the device).

   SCP
       Reusing the already available connection credentials provided for  NAPALM,  the  following
       features are now available:

       • napalm.scp_put: Transfer files and directories to remote network device.

       • napalm.scp_get:  Transfer  files  and  directories  from  remote  network  device to the
         localhost of the Minion.

   PeeringDB
       The peeringdb Execution Module is useful to gather information about  other  networks  you
       can  potentially  peer  with, and automatically establish BGP sessions, e.g., given just a
       specific AS number, the rest of the data (i.e., IP addresses, locations where  the  remote
       network  is available, etc.) is retrieved from PeeringDB, and the session configuration is
       automated with minimal to no effort (typing the IP addresses manually can be both  tedious
       and error prone).

   New Docker Proxy Minion
       Docker  containers  can  now  be  treated as actual minions without installing salt in the
       container, using the new docker proxy minion.

       This proxy minion uses the docker executor to pass commands to the docker container  using
       docker.call.   Any  state  module calls are passed through the corresponding function from
       the docker module.

          proxy:
            proxytype: docker
            name: keen_proskuriakova

   Terraform Salt-SSH Roster
       You can now dynamically generate a Salt-SSH roster from the  terraform  resources  defined
       with terraform-provider-salt.

       This  allows  you  to  combine both terraform and Salt-SSH to provision and configure your
       hosts. See the terraform roster for an example on how to setup and use.

   Grains Dictionary Passed into Custom Grains
       Starting in this release, if a custom grains function accepts a variable named grains, the
       Grains  dictionary  of  the  already  compiled  grains  will be passed in.  Because of the
       non-deterministic order that grains are rendered in, the only grains that  can  be  relied
       upon to be passed in are core.py grains, since those are compiled first.

   More Precise virtual Grain
       This  release  improves  the  accuracy  of the virtual grain when running Salt in a nested
       virtualization  environment  (e.g.  systemd-nspawn  container  inside  a  VM)  and  having
       virt-what installed.

       Until  now,  the  virtual  grain  was  determined  by matching against all output lines of
       virt-what instead of individual items which could lead to not quite precise results  (e.g.
       reporting HyperV inside a systemd-nspawn container running within a Hyper-V-based VM.

   Configurable Module Environment
       Salt  modules (states, execution modules, returners, etc.) now can have custom environment
       variables applied when running shell  commands.  This  can  be  configured  by  setting  a
       system-environment key either in Grains or Pillar.  The syntax is as follows:

          system-environment:
            <type>
              <module>:
                # Namespace for all functions in the module
                _:
                  <key>: <value>

                # Namespace only for particular function in the module
                <function>:
                  <key>: <value>

       • <type> would be the type of module (i.e. states, modules, etc.).

       • <module> would be the module's name.

         NOTE:
            The module name can be either the virtual name (e.g. pkg), or the physical name (e.g.
            yumpkg).

       • <function> would be the function name within that module. To apply environment variables
         to all functions in a given module, use an underscore (i.e. _) as the function name. For
         example, to set the same environment variable for all package management functions,  the
         following could be used:

            system-environment:
              modules:
                pkg:
                  _:
                    SOMETHING: for_all

         To set an environment variable in pkg.install only:

            system-environment:
              modules:
                pkg:
                  install:
                    LC_ALL: en_GB.UTF-8

         To  set  the  same  variable  but  only  for  SUSE minions (which use zypper for package
         management):

            system-environment:
              modules:
                zypper:
                  install:
                    LC_ALL: en_GB.UTF-8

       NOTE:
          This is not supported throughout Salt; the module must explicitly support this  feature
          (though  this  may  change  in  the future). As of this release, the only modules which
          support this are the following pkg virtual modules:

          • aptpkgyumpkgzypper

   Virtual Package Support Dropped for APT
       In APT, some packages have an associated list of packages which they provide.  This allows
       one  to  do  things like run apt-get install foo when the real package name is foo1.0, and
       get the right package installed.

       Salt has traditionally designated as "virtual packages" those which  are  provided  by  an
       installed  package,  but  for which there is no real package by that name installed. Given
       the above example, if one were to run a pkg.installed state for a package named foo,  then
       pkg.list_pkgs  would  show a package version of simply 1 for package foo, denoting that it
       is a virtual package.

       However, while this makes certain aspects of  package  management  convenient,  there  are
       issues  with  this  approach  that  make  relying  on  "virtual packages" problematic. For
       instance, Ubuntu has four different mutually-conflicting packages for nginx:

       • nginx-corenginx-fullnginx-lightnginx-extras

       All four of these provide nginx. Yet there is an nginx  package  as  well,  which  has  no
       actual  content  and merely has dependencies on any one of the above four packages. If one
       used nginx in a pkg.installed state, and none of the above four packages  were  installed,
       then the nginx metapackage would be installed, which would pull in nginx-core_.  Later, if
       nginx were used in a pkg.removed state, the nginx metapackage would  be  removed,  leaving
       nginx-core  installed.  The  result would be that, since nginx-core_ provides nginx_, Salt
       would now see nginx as an installed virtual package, and the pkg.removed state would fail.
       Moreover,  nginx  would  not  actually  have  been  removed, since nginx-core would remain
       installed.

       Starting with this release, Salt will no longer support using "virtual package"  names  in
       pkg states, and package names will need to be specified using the proper package name. The
       pkg.list_repo_pkgs  function  can  be  used  to  find  matching  package  names   in   the
       repositories, given a package name (or glob):

          # salt myminion pkg.list_repo_pkgs 'nginx*'
          myminion:

   Minion Startup Events
       When a minion starts up it sends a notification on the event bus with  a  tag  that  looks
       like  this:  salt/minion/<minion_id>/start. For historical reasons the minion also sends a
       similar event with an event tag like this: minion_start. This duplication can cause a  lot
       of clutter on the event bus when there are many minions. Set enable_legacy_startup_events:
       False in the minion config to ensure only  the  salt/minion/<minion_id>/start  events  are
       sent.

       The  new  enable_legacy_startup_events  minion config option defaults to True, but will be
       set to default to False beginning with the 3001 release of Salt.

       The Salt Syndic currently sends an old  style  syndic_start  event  as  well.  The  syndic
       respects enable_legacy_startup_events as well.

   Failhard changes
       It  is  now  possible  to  override  a global failhard setting with a state-level failhard
       setting. This is most useful in case where global failhard is set to True and you want the
       execution  not  to  stop  for a specific state that could fail, by setting the state level
       failhard to False.  This also allows  for  the  use  of  onfail*-requisites,  which  would
       previously  be  ignored  when a global failhard was set to True.  This is a deviation from
       previous behavior, where the global failhard setting always resulted in an immediate  stop
       whenever  any state failed (regardless of whether the failing state had a failhard setting
       of its own, or whether any onfail*-requisites were used).

   Pass Through Options to file.serialize State
       This allows for more granular control over the way in which the dataset is serialized. See
       the  documentation  for  the  new  serializer_opts  and  deserializer_opts  options in the
       file.serialize state for more information.

   file.patch State Rewritten
       The file.patch state has been rewritten with several new features:

       • Patch sources can now be remote files instead of only salt:// URLs

       • Multi-file patches are now supported

       • Patch files can be templated

       In addition, it is no longer necessary to specify what the hash of the patched file should
       be.

   New no_proxy Minion Configuration
       Pass a list of hosts using the no_proxy minion config option to bypass an HTTP proxy.

       NOTE:
          This  key does nothing unless proxy_host is configured and it does not support any kind
          of wildcards.

          no_proxy: [ '127.0.0.1', 'foo.tld' ]

   Changes to slack Engine
       The output returned to Slack from functions run using this engine is now  formatted  using
       that function's proper outputter. Earlier releases would format the output in YAML for all
       functions except for when states were run.

   Enhancements to wtmp Beacon
       A new key, action, has been added to the events fired by this beacon, which  will  contain
       either  the  string  login  or logout. This will simplify reactors which use this beacon's
       data, as it will no longer be necessary to check the integer value of the type key to know
       whether the event is a login or logout.

       Additionally,  in  the  event  that  your  platform has a non-standard utmp.h, you can now
       configure which type numbers indicate a login and logout.

       See the wtmp beacon documentation for more information.

   Deprecated and Removed Options
   API Removed Arguments
       Support for LocalClient's  expr_form  argument  has  been  removed.  Please  use  tgt_type
       instead.  This  change  was  made  due  to  numerous  reports of confusion among community
       members, since the targeting method is published to minions as tgt_type,  and  appears  as
       tgt_type in the job cache as well.

       Those  who  are using the LocalClient (either directly, or implicitly via a netapi module)
       need to update their code to use tgt_type.

          >>> import salt.client
          >>> local = salt.client.LocalClient()
          >>> local.cmd("*", "cmd.run", ["whoami"], tgt_type="glob")
          {'jerry': 'root'}

   Minion Configuration Deprecated Option
       The master_shuffle configuration option is deprecated as of the 2019.2.0  release.  Please
       use the random_master option instead.

   Module Removed Options
       • The napalm_network module has been changed as follows:

            • Support  for  the  template_path  has been removed from net.load_template function.
              This is because support for NAPALM native templates has been dropped.

       • The pip module has been changed as follows:

            • Support for the no_chown option has been removed from pip.install function.

       • The trafficserver module has been changed as follows:

            • The    trafficserver.match_var     function     was     removed.     Please     use
              trafficserver.match_metric instead.

            • The     trafficserver.read_var     function     was     removed.     Please     use
              trafficserver.read_config instead.

            • The trafficserver.set_var function was removed. Please use trafficserver.set_config
              instead.

       • The win_update module has been removed. It has been replaced by win_wua.

       • The win_wua module has been changed as follows:

            • The   win_wua.download_update  and  win_wua.download_updates  functions  have  been
              removed. Please use win_wua.download instead.

            • The win_wua.install_update and win_wua.install_updates functions have been removed.
              Please use win_wua.install instead.

            • The  win_wua.list_update  function has been removed. Please use functions have been
              removed. Please use win_wua.get instead.

            • The win_wua.list_updates function has been removed. Please use functions have  been
              removed. Please use win_wua.list instead.

   Pillar Removed Option
       • The vault external pillar has been changed as follows:

            • Support  for  the  profile  argument  was  removed. Any options passed up until and
              following the first path= are discarded.

   Roster Removed Option
       • The cache roster has been changed as follows:

            • Support for roster_order as a list or tuple has been removed. As  of  the  2019.2.0
              release, roster_order must be a dictionary.

            • The  roster_order  option  now  includes  IPv6 in addition to IPv4 for the private,
              public, global or local settings. The syntax for  these  settings  has  changed  to
              ipv4-* or ipv6-*, respectively.

   State Removed Modules and Options
       • The docker state module has been removed

            • In  2017.7.0,  the  states  from  this  module  were split into four separate state
              modules:

                  • docker_containerdocker_imagedocker_volumedocker_network

            • The docker module  remained,  for  backward-compatibility,  but  it  has  now  been
              removed. Please update SLS files to use the new state names:

                  • docker.running => docker_container.runningdocker.stopped => docker_container.stoppeddocker.absent => docker_container.absentdocker.network_present => docker_network.presentdocker.network_absent => docker_network.absentdocker.image_present => docker_image.presentdocker.image_absent => docker_image.absentdocker.volume_present => docker_volume.presentdocker.volume_absent => docker_volume.absent

       • The docker_network state module has been changed as follows:

            • The  driver  option  has  been  removed  from  docker_network.absent.   It  had  no
              functionality, as the state simply deletes the specified network name if it exists.

       • The deprecated ref option has been removed from the git.detached state. Please  use  rev
         instead.

       • The  k8s  state  module has been removed in favor of the kubernetes state mdoule. Please
         update SLS files as follows:

            • In place of k8s.label_present, use kubernetes.node_label_present

            • In place of k8s.label_absent, use kubernetes.node_label_absent

            • In place of k8s.label_folder_absent, use kubernetes.node_label_folder_absent

       • Support    for     the     template_path     option     in     the     netconfig.managed
         <salt.states.netconfig.managed()  state  has  been  removed. This is because support for
         NAPALM native templates has been dropped.

       • Support for the no_chown option in the pip.insalled state has been removed.

       • The trafficserver.set_var  state  has  been  removed.  Please  use  trafficserver.config
         instead.

       • Support     for    the    no_chown    option    in    the    :py:func`virtualenv.managed
         <salt.states.virtualenv.managed>` function has been removed.

       • The win_update state module has been removed. It has been replaced by win_wua.

       • Support  for  virtual  packages   has   been   removed   from   the   py:mod:pkg   state
         <salt.states.pkg>.

   Utils Removed Options
       The cloud utils module had the following changes:

       • Support  for  the  cache_nodes_ip  function  in  salt utils module has been removed. The
         function was incomplete and non-functional.

       The vault utils module had the following changes:

       • Support for specifying Vault connection  data  within  a  'profile'  has  been  removed.
         Please see the vault execution module documentation for details on the new configuration
         schema.

   Dependency Deprecations
       Salt-Cloud has been updated to use the pypsexec  Python  library  instead  of  the  winexe
       executable.  Both  winexe  and  pypsexec  run  remote commands against Windows OSes. Since
       winexe is not packaged for every system, it has been deprecated in favor of pypsexec.

       Salt-Cloud has deprecated the use impacket in favor of smbprotocol.  This changes was made
       because impacket is not compatible with Python 3.

   SaltSSH Major Updates
       SaltSSH  now works across different major Python versions. Python 2.7 ~ Python 3.x are now
       supported  transparently.  Requirement  is,  however,  that  the  SaltMaster  should  have
       installed  Salt, including all related dependencies for Python 2 and Python 3.  Everything
       needs to be importable from the respective Python environment.

       SaltSSH can bundle up an arbitrary version of Salt. If there  would  be  an  old  box  for
       example,  running  an  outdated  and  unsupported  Python 2.6, it is still possible from a
       SaltMaster with Python 3.5 or newer to access it.  This  feature  requires  an  additional
       configuration in /etc/salt/master as follows:

          ssh_ext_alternatives:
              2016.3:                     # Namespace, can be actually anything.
                  py-version: [2, 6]      # Constraint to specific interpreter version
                  path: /opt/2016.3/salt  # Main Salt installation
                  dependencies:           # List of dependencies and their installation paths
                    jinja2: /opt/jinja2
                    yaml: /opt/yaml
                    tornado: /opt/tornado
                    msgpack: /opt/msgpack
                    certifi: /opt/certifi
                    singledispatch: /opt/singledispatch.py
                    singledispatch_helpers: /opt/singledispatch_helpers.py
                    markupsafe: /opt/markupsafe
                    backports_abc: /opt/backports_abc.py

       It  is  also  possible  to  use several alternative versions of Salt. You can for instance
       generate a minimal tarball using runners and include that. But this is only possible, when
       such specific Salt version is also available on the Master machine, although does not need
       to be directly installed together with the older Python interpreter.

       SaltSSH now support private key's passphrase. You can configure it by:

       • --priv-passwd for salt-ssh cli

       • salt_priv_passwd for salt master configure file

       • priv_passwd for salt roster file

   State Module Changes
   salt State Module (used in orchestration)
       The test option now defaults to None. A value of True or False set here is passed  to  the
       state being run and can be used to override a test: True option set in the minion's config
       file. In previous releases the minion's config option would take precedence and  it  would
       be impossible to run an orchestration on a minion with test mode set to True in the config
       file.

       If a minion is not in permanent test mode due to the config file and the  'test'  argument
       here  is left as None then a value of test=True on the command-line is passed correctly to
       the minion to run an orchestration in test mode. At present it is  not  possible  to  pass
       test=False  on  the  command-line  to  override a minion in permanent test mode and so the
       test: False option must still be set in the orchestration file.

   event.send State
       The event.send state does not know the results of the sent event, so returns changed every
       state run.  It can now be set to return changed or unchanged.

   influxdb_user.present Influxdb User Module State
       The  password  parameter  has been changed to passwd to remove the name collusion with the
       influxdb  client  configuration  (client_kwargs)  allowing  management   of   users   when
       authentication is enabled on the influxdb instance

       Old behavior:

          influxdb_user.present:
            - name: exampleuser
            - password: exampleuserpassword
            - user: admin
            - password: adminpassword

       New behavior:

          influxdb_user.present:
            - name: exampleuser
            - passwd: exampleuserpassword
            - user: admin
            - password: adminpassword

   winrepo_cache_expire_min Windows Package Definitions Caching
       The  winrepo_cache_expire_min  has been changed from 0 to 1800 (30 minutes) For example if
       you run highstate the package definitions are normally updated, however now if the package
       definitions are younger than winrepo_cache_expire_min (30 minutes) the package definitions
       will not be refreshed, reducing the amount of time taken to run a 2nd  highstate.  To  get
       the  old  behaviour change the value back to 0 in the minion configuration file. This also
       effects the behaviour of other functions which default  to  refresh.   The  pkg.refresh_db
       will always refresh the package definitions.

   LDAP External Authentication
   freeipa groupattribute support
       Previously,  if  Salt  was  using external authentication against a freeipa LDAP system it
       could only search for users via the  accountattributename  field.   This  release  add  an
       additional    search   using   the   groupattribute   field   as   well.    The   original
       accountattributename search is done first then the groupattribute  allowing  for  backward
       compatibility with previous Salt releases.

   Jinja Include Relative Paths
       When  a jinja include template name begins with ./ or ../ then the import will be relative
       to the importing file.

       Prior practices required the following construct:

          {% from tpldir ~ '/foo' import bar %}

       A more "natural" construct is now supported:

          {% from './foo' import bar %}

       Comparatively when importing from a parent directory - prior practice:

          {% from tpldir ~ '/../foo' import bar %}

       New style for including from a parent directory:

          {% from '../foo' import bar %}

   salt-api
   salt-api Windows support
       Previously, salt-api was was not supported on the Microsoft Windows platforms. Now it  is!
       salt-api  provides  a  RESTful  interface  to a running Salt system. It allows for viewing
       minions, runners, and jobs as well as running execution modules and runners of  a  running
       Salt  system  through  a  REST  API  that  returns  JSON.  See Salt-API documentation.  ..
       _Salt-API: https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/topics/netapi/index.html

   Logging Changes
   Include Job ID (JID) in Minion and Master Logs
       The Job ID (JID) can now be optionally included in both the  minion  and  master  logs  by
       including jid in either the log_fmt_console or log_fmt_logfile configuration option:

          log_fmt_console: "[%(levelname)-8s] %(jid)s %(message)s"

       The  will cause the JID to be included in any log entries that are related to a particular
       Salt job.  The JID will be included using the default format, [JID: %(jid)s]  but  can  be
       overridden with the log_fmt_jid configuration item.

          log_fmt_jid: "[JID: %(jid)s]"

   Security
   Windows runas changes
       A  password  is  no  longer  required with runas under normal circumstances.  The password
       option is only needed if the minion process is run under a restricted  (non-administrator)
       account.  In  the  aforementioned  case,  a password is only required when using the runas
       argument to run command as a different user.

   Salt 2019.2.1 Release Notes
       Version 2019.2.1 is a bugfix release for 2019.2.0.

   Known IssuesISSUE #54751: Proxy minion fails to start. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE  #54762:  URIs  with  IPv6  addresses   are   broken,   preventing   master-minion
         communication in IPv6-only environments. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE   #54776:  Minion  fails  to  start  when  it  contains  ping_interval  in  minion
         configuration file. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54731: Returners (except for default salt master returner) not  loading  properly
         in Py3. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54758: salt-call state.show_states gives  "Passed invalid arguments" error when a
         sls defined in top.sls file is missing. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54765: Jinja from import is broken. Fix planned in 2019.2.2 release.

       • ISSUE #54771: Affects only Debian 10. pkgrepo.managed does not work if used  with  proxy
         (configured at salt-minion). No fix date available yet.

       • ISSUE #54759: Deprecation warnings for pyzmq. No fix date available yet.

   Change to YAML Renderer
          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data }}

       In  2019.2.0,  the above SLS will result in an error message following changes to the YAML
       renderer that now require the new Jinja filter tojson.

          /etc/foo.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://foo.conf.jinja
              - template: jinja
              - context:
                  data: {{ data|tojson }}

       In 2019.2.1, we introduce a new configuration option for both the  Salt  master  and  Salt
       minion  configurations  to  be  able to support the older YAML renderer.  Using the option
       use_yamlloader_old will allow the YAML renderer to function as before.

           globally being disabled.  Previously disabling the schedule would result in individual
           jobs  being  disabled  when  they  were run through eval.  This change does not change

   Salt 2019.2.3 Release Notes
       Version 2019.2.3 is a CVE-fix release for 2019.2.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2019-17361

       With the Salt NetAPI enabled in addition to having a SSH roster  defined,  unauthenticated
       access  is  possible  when specifying the client as SSH.  Additionally, when the raw_shell
       option is specified any arbitrary command may be run on the Salt  master  when  specifying
       SSH options.

   Salt 2019.2.4 Release Notes
       Version 2019.2.4 is a CVE-fix release for 2019.2.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2020-11651

       An  issue  was  discovered  in SaltStack Salt before 2019.2.4 and 3000 before 3000.2.  The
       salt-master process ClearFuncs class does not properly validate method calls. This  allows
       a  remote user to access some methods without authentication. These methods can be used to
       retrieve user tokens from the salt master and/or run arbitrary commands on salt minions.

       CVE-2020-11652

       An issue was discovered in SaltStack Salt before 2019.2.4 and  3000  before  3000.2.   The
       salt-master  process  ClearFuncs  class  allows  access  to  some  methods that improperly
       sanitize paths. These methods allow arbitrary directory access to authenticated users.

   Known Issue
       Part of the fix for CVE-2020-11651 added better validation of the methods  allowed  to  be
       called  by  remote  clients.   Both  AESFuncs  and ClearFuncs now have an explicit list of
       methods that can be called.  The name of one of these whitlisted methods on AESFuncs had a
       typo.   The _minion_runner method should be minion_runner (without the underscore prefix).
       This typo breaks the publish module’s runner method.  Calling runners, for example:

          salt minion publish.runner manage.down

       Will not work, and you will receive and empty reply from the salt master.

       This will be addressed in the 3001 release of Salt set for mid-June 2020.

   Salt 2019.2.5 Release Notes
       Version 2019.2.5 is a bug-fix release for 2019.2.0.

   Salt 2018.3.0 Release Notes - Codename Oxygen
       WARNING:
          If you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this  will  now
          cause  errors  in  Python  2  since  Jinja does not produce YAML-compatible output when
          strings in the data structures contain unicode types. The  dictionary  must  be  passed
          through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To make it valid, use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict | json }}

   Unicode/Python 3 Compatibility Improvements
       This  release fixes a number of nagging issues with Unicode strings in Salt under Python 2
       (ex.  'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0). For best results, use a UTF-8 locale (such as
       by  setting  the  LANG  environment  variable  to  one  which  supports UTF-8. For example
       en_US.UTF-8, de_DE.UTF-8, ru_RU.UTF-8, C.UTF-8).

       Additionally, a number of Python 3 compatibility fixes have been made, many of them having
       to do with file I/O and str/bytes mismatches.

       We  continue  to work toward improving both Unicode and Python 3 compatibility and welcome
       any feedback.

   Lots of Docker Improvements
   Much Improved Support for Docker Networking
       The docker_network.present  state  has  undergone  a  full  rewrite,  which  includes  the
       following improvements:

   Full API Support for Network Management
       The improvements made to input handling in the docker_container.running state for 2017.7.0
       have now been expanded to docker_network.present. This brings with it full support for all
       tunable configuration arguments.

   Custom Subnets
       Custom  subnets  can  now  be  configured.  Both  IPv4  and  mixed  IPv4/IPv6 networks are
       supported. See here for more information.

   Network Configuration in docker_container.running States
       A long-requested feature has finally been added! It is now possible  to  configure  static
       IPv4/IPv6 addresses, as well as links and labels. See here for more information.

       NOTE:
          While  the containers argument to docker_network.present will continue to be supported,
          it will no longer be the recommended way of ensuring that a container is attached to  a
          network.

   Improved Handling of Images from Custom Registries
       Rather  than attempting to parse the tag from the passed image name, Salt will now resolve
       that tag down to an image ID and use that ID instead.

       IMPORTANT:
          Due to this change, there are some backward-incompatible changes to  image  management.
          See below for a full list of these changes.

   Backward-incompatible Changes to Docker Image Management
       Passing  image names to the following functions must now be done using separate repository
       and tag arguments:

       • docker.builddocker.commitdocker.importdocker.loaddocker.tagdocker.sls_build

       Additionally, the tag argument must now be explicitly passed to  the  docker_image.present
       state, unless the image is being pulled from a docker registry.

   State and Execution Module Support for docker run Functionality
       The  docker_container.running  state  is good for containers which run services, but it is
       not as useful for cases in which the container only needs to run once. The start  argument
       to  docker_container.running  can  be  set  to  False  to prevent the container from being
       started again on a subsequent run,  but  for  many  use  cases  this  is  not  sufficient.
       Therefore,  the docker.run_container remote-execution function was added. When used on the
       Salt CLI, it will return information about the container, such as its name, ID, exit code,
       and any output it produces.

       State  support  has  also  been  added  via  the docker_container.run state. This state is
       modeled after the cmd.run state, and includes arguments like onlyif, unless,  and  creates
       to control whether or not the container is run.

   Full API Support for docker.logs
       This  function  now  supports  all  of the functions that its Docker API counterpart does,
       allowing you to do things like include timestamps, and also suppress  stdout/stderr,  etc.
       in the return.

   start Argument Added to docker.create Function
       This  removes the need to run docker.start separately when creating containers on the Salt
       CLI.

          salt myminion docker.create image=foo/bar:baz command=/path/to/command start=True

   Use SaltSSH Minions like regular Master-Minions
       The Master process can now also call SSH minions as if they were connected to  the  master
       using  ZeroMQ.   By setting enable_ssh_minions: True in the master config file, the master
       will create a Salt SSH client process which connects to the minion and returns the  output
       for  the  salt CLI to use like a regular minion. This can be used anywhere the LocalClient
       is used.

   Exceptions Raised for Authentication/Authorization Errors
       When sending publish commands via master.py  and  masterapi.py  and  an  authorization  or
       authentication  problem  is  encountered,  Salt  will now raise the appropriate exceptions
       instead of returning an empty string: ''.

       The reasoning behind this  change  is  to  make  it  easier  to  debug  various  scenarios
       surrounding authentication and authorization issues more effectively.

   Comparison Operators in Package Installation
       Salt  now  supports  using comparison operators (e.g. >=1.2.3) when installing packages on
       minions which use yum/dnf or apt. This is supported both in the pkg.installed state and in
       the pkg.install remote execution function.

   Master Tops Changes
       When  both  Master Tops and a Top File produce SLS matches for a given minion, the matches
       were being merged in an unpredictable manner which did not  preserve  ordering.  This  has
       been  changed.  The  top  file  matches now execute in the expected order, followed by any
       master tops matches that are not matched via a top file.

       To make master tops matches execute first, followed by  top  file  matches,  set  the  new
       master_tops_first minion config option to True.

   Several Jinja Filters Renamed
       The  following  Jinja  filters (originally added in 2017.7.0) have been renamed due to the
       fact that they were inaccurately named when initially added. The original  names  will  be
       supported until the 3000 release of Salt.

       • rand_str renamed to random_hashjinja_decode_dict renamed to jinja_encode_dictjinja_decode_list renamed to jinja_encode_list

   Return Codes for Runner/Wheel Functions
       When  using  orchestration, runner and wheel functions used to report a True result if the
       function ran to completion without raising an exception. It  is  now  possible  to  set  a
       return  code  in the __context__ dictionary, allowing runner and wheel functions to report
       that they failed. Here's some example pseudocode:

          def myrunner():
              ...
              # do stuff
              ...
              if some_error_condition:
                  __context__["retcode"] = 1
              return result

   Variable Update Intervals for Fileserver Backends
       Prior to this release, fileservers would be updated as part of a  dedicated  "maintenance"
       process,  in  which various routine maintenance tasks were performed. This tied the update
       interval to the loop_interval config option, and also forced all fileservers to update  at
       the same interval.

       2018.3.0 adds the following configuration options for the various fileserver backends:

       • roots_update_intervalazurefs_update_intervalgitfs_update_intervalhgfs_update_intervalminionfs_update_intervals3fs_update_intervalsvnfs_update_interval

       These  allow for update intervals to be set for each individual backend. The default value
       for each of these is 60 seconds.

       In addition, for GitFS it is also possible to apply intervals to individual  remotes.  See
       here for examples.

       NOTE:
          git_pillar  does  not  yet  support variable update intervals, this is targeted for the
          next feature release (2019.2.0).

   LDAP via External Authentication Changes
       In this release of Salt, if LDAP Bind Credentials are  supplied,  then  these  credentials
       will  be used for all LDAP access except the first authentication when a job is submitted.
       The first authentication will use the user's credentials  as  passed  on  the  CLI.   This
       behavior   is   to   accommodate  certain  two-factor  authentication  schemes  where  the
       authentication token can only be used once.

       In previous releases the bind credentials would only be used to determine the LDAP  user's
       existence and group membership.  The user's LDAP credentials were used from then on.

   Stormpath External Authentication Removed
       Per  Stormpath's announcement, their API will be shutting down on 8/17/2017 at noon PST so
       the Stormpath external authentication module has been removed.

   New (Proxy) Minion Configuration Options
       To be able to connect the Minion to the Master using a certain source IP address or  port,
       the following options have been added:

       • source_interface_namesource_addresssource_ret_portsource_publish_port

   environment config option renamed to saltenv
       The  environment  config  option  predates referring to a salt fileserver environment as a
       saltenv. To pin a minion to a  single  environment  for  running  states,  one  would  use
       environment,  but overriding that environment would be done with the saltenv argument. For
       consistency, environment is now simply referred to as  saltenv.  There  are  no  plans  to
       deprecate  or remove environment, if used it will log a warning and its value will be used
       as saltenv.

   lock_saltenv config option added
       If set to True, this option will prevent a minion from allowing the  saltenv  argument  to
       override the value set in saltenv when running states.

   Failed Minions for State/Function Orchestration Jobs Added to Changes Dictionary
       For  orchestration jobs which run states (or run remote execution functions and also use a
       fail function to indicate success or failure),  minions  which  have  False  results  were
       previously  included  as  a  formatted  string in the comment field of the return for that
       orchestration job. This made the failed returns difficult to  parse  programatically.  The
       failed  returns in these cases are now included in the changes dictionary, making for much
       easier parsing.

   Salt Minion Auto-discovery
       Using auto-discovery, the Salt Minion now no longer  needs  to  be  configured  against  a
       specific DNS name or IP address of a Master.

       For this feature Salt Master now requires port 4520 for UDP broadcast packets to be opened
       and the Salt Minion be able to send UDP packets to the same port.

   Configuration
       By default, automatic discovery is disabled.

       WARNING:
          Due to the current limitations that will be changing in a future  release,  before  you
          turn on auto-discovery, make sure your network is secured and trusted.

       Auto-discovery  is  configured  on  Master and Minion. Both of them are configured via the
       discovery option as follows:

       Master configuration

       To use the default configuration, which accepts any minion, simply set discovery to True:

          discovery: true

       A sub-option called mapping allows auto-discovery to help  find  the  proper  Master.  The
       mapping  contains  an arbitrary set of key/value pairs, which the Minion configuration can
       target. By default, no mappings are set.

       Example:

          discovery:
            mapping:
              description: SES 5.0
              node: 1

       It is also possible to change the port used from the default of 4520, by  setting  a  port
       option under the Master's discovery configuration:

          discovery:
            port: 4567

       NOTE:
          When  using  a port number other than the default, the Minion's discovery configuration
          must also have a port specified, otherwise the Minion will still attempt to contact the
          Master on port 4520.

       Minion configuration

       In  addition  to  the  mapping  and  port  options,  the  following additional options are
       available to Minions:

       • attempts - This option specifies how many broadcast  requests  should  be  sent  to  the
         network,  waiting  for  any  Master response. Each attempt takes a couple of seconds, so
         raising  this  value  may  result  in  a  slower  Minion  startup.  Note  that,   on   a
         properly-configured  network,  autodiscovery  should  succeed  on  the first attempt. By
         default, this value is set to 3.

       • match - This option can be set to either all or any, and it determines  how  the  values
         configured in mapping are matched. If set to all, then all of the key/value pairs in the
         Minion's mapping must match a given Master. If set to any (the default), then any  match
         to a key/value mapping will constitute a match.

       • pause - The interval in seconds between attempts (default: 5).

       • fibre_channel_grains - Enables the fc_wwn grain. (Default: False)

       • iscsi_grains - Enables the iscsi_iqn grain. (Default: False)

   Connection to a type instead of DNS
       By  now  each  Minion  was  connecting to a Master by DNS or IP address. From now on it is
       possible also to connect to a _type_ of a Master. For example,  in  a  network  there  are
       three  different  Masters,  each  corresponds  for  a  particular  niche or environment or
       specific role etc. The Minion is supposed to connect only to one of those Masters that  is
       described appropriately.

       To  achieve  such  an  effect, each /etc/salt/master configuration should have a discovery
       option, which should have a mapping element  with  arbitrary  key/value  pairs.  The  same
       configuration  should  be  on  the Minion, so then when mapping matches, Minion recognises
       Master as its connection target.

       Example for Master configuration (/etc/salt/master):

          discovery:
            mapping:
              description: SES 5.0
              node: 1

       The example above  describes  a  system  that  is  running  a  particular  product,  where
       description  is  an  arbitrary key and SES 5.0 is just a string. In order to match exactly
       this Master, the following configuration at Minion should be present:

          discovery:
            match: all  # Can be "all" or "any"
            mapping:
              description: SES 5.0
              node: 1

       Notice match criteria is set to all. This would mean that from all  found  Masters  select
       only  that,  which description is set to SES 5.0 _and_ node is set to 1. All other Masters
       will be ignored.

   Limitations
       This feature has a couple of _temporary_ limitations that are subject  to  change  in  the
       future:

       • Only  one  Master  on the network is supported. Currently the Minion cannot select which
         Master out of few the same to choose. This will change to choosing the  Master  that  is
         least loaded.

       • Minions will accept _any_ master that matches connection criteria without any particular
         security applied (priv/pub key check, signature, fingerprint etc).   That  implies  that
         administrator is expected to know his network and make sure it is clean.

   New Modulessalt.modules.purefa

   New NaCl Renderer
       A new renderer has been added for encrypted data.

   New support for Cisco UCS Chassis
       The  salt  proxy  minion now allows for control of Cisco USC chassis. See the cimc modules
       for details.

   New support for Cassandra v3
       The cassandra_cql module now supports Cassandra v3 which has changed its  internal  schema
       to define keyspaces and columns.

   New salt-ssh roster
       A  new  roster  has  been  added that allows users to pull in a list of hosts for salt-ssh
       targeting from a ~/.ssh configuration. For full details, please see the sshconfig roster.

   New GitFS Features
       Two new features which affect how GitFS  maps  branches/tags  to  fileserver  environments
       (i.e. saltenvs) have been added:

       1. It  is now possible to completely turn off Salt's default mapping logic (aside from the
          mapping   of   the   base   saltenv).   This   can   be   triggered   using   the   new
          gitfs_disable_saltenv_mapping config option.

          NOTE:
             When  this  is  disabled, only the base saltenv and any configured using per-saltenv
             configuration parameters will be available.

       2. The types of refs which Salt will use as saltenvs can now be  controlled.  In  previous
          releases,  branches  and  tags  were both mapped as environments, and individual commit
          SHAs  could  be  specified  as  saltenvs  in  states  (and  when  caching  files  using
          cp.cache_file).   Using  the new gitfs_ref_types config option, the types of refs which
          are used as saltenvs can be restricted. This makes it possible to ignore all  tags  and
          use branches only, and also to keep SHAs from being made available as saltenvs.

   Additional output modes
       The  state_output  parameter  now  supports  full_id,  changes_id and terse_id.  Just like
       mixed_id, these use the state ID as name in the highstate output.  For more information on
       these output modes, see the docs for the Highstate Outputter.

   Windows
   Python Version
       Python 2 Windows API was design when Windows did not support Unicode. Windows now supports
       Unicode however to keep backwards compatibility Python 2 Windows API has not been changed.
       Python 3 Windows API supports Unicode. Salt Python 3 installer is the recommend choice for
       users who need characters other than Non-ASCII (7bit) characters.

   pkg Execution module changes
       Significant changes have been made to the win_pkg execution module. Users should test this
       release  against  their  existing  package sls definition files. These changes are also in
       2016.11.9 & 2017.7.3.

       • pkg.list_available no longer defaults to refreshing the winrepo meta database.

       • pkg.install without a version parameter no longer upgrades software if the  software  is
         already  installed.  Use  pkg.install version=latest or in a state use pkg.latest to get
         the old behavior.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns multiple versions if software installed more than once.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns 'Not Found' when the version is not found instead  of  '(value
         not set)' which matches the contents of the sls definitions.

       • pkg.remove()  will  wait  up to 3 seconds (normally about a second) to detect changes in
         the registry after removing software, improving reporting of version changes.

       • pkg.remove() can remove latest software, if latest is defined in sls definition.

       • Documentation was update for the execution module to match the style  in  new  versions,
         some corrections as well.

       • All  install/remove  commands  are prefix with cmd.exe shell and cmdmod is called with a
         command line string instead of a  list.  Some  sls  files  in  saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng
         expected the commands to be prefixed with cmd.exe (i.e. the use of &).

       • Some  execution  module  functions  results,  now  behavour  more  like their Unix/Linux
         versions.

   Installer
   Changes to config handling
       Behavior with existing configuration has changed. With  previous  windows  installers  the
       existing config was used and the master and minion id could be modified via the installer.
       It was problematic in that it didn't account for configuration that may be defined in  the
       minion.d  directory.  This  change gives you the option via a drop-down list to use one of
       the following:

       • Default Config: Use the config that comes with the installer

       • Existing Config: Use the current config without changes

       • Custom Config: Select a custom config using the file picker

       The existing config option will only be available if the  installer  detects  an  existing
       config.  If  there  is  an existing config, and you choose Default or Custom, the existing
       config will be deleted, including the minion.d directory, and replaced by your selection.

       The Default Config and Custom Config options will allow you to modify the Master  and  the
       Minion ID. Existing Config will leave the existing configuration unchanged.

       These settings can be defined on the command line using the following switches:

       • /default-config/custom-config=C:\Path\To\Custom\Config\minion

       If  neither  option  is  passed and there is an existing config, the default is to use the
       existing config. If there is no existing config (new install) the default config  will  be
       used.

   Multi-master configuration
       The  installer  now  has the ability to apply a multi-master configuration either from the
       GUI or the command line. The master field in the GUI can accept either a single master  or
       a comma-separated list of masters. The command-line switch (/master=) can accept the same.

   Command-line help
       The  Windows  installer  will  now  display  command-line  help when a help switch (/?) is
       passed.

   New utils module salt.utils.pkg.win
       A new utils module has been added,  which  gathers  information  about  windows  installed
       software.  This  is currently not used by any salt execution module or state at this time.
       Users are encouraged to run this and report any issues.   Running  the  command  with  the
       detail option will be useful for anyone developing windows package definitions.  With salt
       installed in the default location the following command will print the help message.

          chcp 65001
          c:\salt\bin\python.exe c:\salt\bin\lib\site-packages\salt\utils\pkg\win.py
          c:\salt\bin\python.exe c:\salt\bin\lib\site-packages\salt\utils\pkg\win.py detail system

   Salt Cloud Features
   OpenStack Revamp
       The OpenStack Driver has been rewritten mostly from scratch.  Salt is now using the  shade
       driver <https://docs.openstack.org/shade/latest/>.

       With this, the nova driver is being deprecated.

       openstack driver

       There  have  also  been several new modules and states added for managing OpenStack setups
       using shade as well.

       subnet neutron secgroup neutron secgroup rule neutron network

   Pre-Flight Commands
       Support has been added for specified "preflight commands" to run on a VM before the deploy
       script is run. These must be defined as a list in a cloud configuration file. For example:

          my-cloud-profile:
            provider: linode-config
            image: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
            size: Linode 2048
            preflight_cmds:
              - whoami
              - echo 'hello world!'

       These commands will run in sequence before the bootstrap script is executed.

   New salt-cloud Grains
       When  salt-cloud  creates  a  new  minion, it will now add grain information to the minion
       configuration file, identifying the resources originally used to create it.

       The generated grain information will appear similar to:

          grains:
            salt-cloud:
              driver: ec2
              provider: my_ec2:ec2
              profile: ec2-web

       The generation of salt-cloud grains can be suppressed by the  option  enable_cloud_grains:
       'False' in the cloud configuration file.

   Upgraded Saltify Driver
       The  salt-cloud Saltify driver is used to provision machines which are not controlled by a
       dedicated cloud supervisor (such as typical hardware machines) by pushing a salt-bootstrap
       command  to  them  and  accepting them on the salt master. Creation of a node has been its
       only function and no other salt-cloud commands were implemented.

       With this upgrade, it can use the salt-api to provide advanced control, such as  rebooting
       a   machine,   querying  it  along  with  conventional  cloud  minions,  and,  ultimately,
       disconnecting it from its master.

       After disconnection from ("destroying" on) one master, a machine  can  be  re-purposed  by
       connecting to ("creating" on) a subsequent master.

   New Vagrant Driver
       The  salt-cloud  Vagrant  driver brings virtual machines running in a limited environment,
       such as a programmer's workstation, under salt-cloud control.   This  can  be  useful  for
       experimentation, instruction, or testing salt configurations.

       Using  salt-api on the master, and a salt-minion running on the host computer, the Vagrant
       driver can create (vagrant up), restart (vagrant reload), and  destroy  (vagrant  destroy)
       VMs,  as  controlled  by  salt-cloud  profiles  which  designate a Vagrantfile on the host
       machine.

       The master can be a very limited machine, such as a Raspberry Pi, or  a  small  VagrantBox
       VM.

   Python PyWinRM Module
       Versions  of  pywinrm>=0.2.1  are  finally  able  to  disable  validation  of  self signed
       certificates.  Here for more information.

   DigitalOcean
       The DigitalOcean driver has been renamed to conform to the company name.  The  new  driver
       name  is  digitalocean.   The  old  name  digital_ocean  and  a short one do will still be
       supported through virtual aliases, this is mostly cosmetic.

   Azure Cloud
       The azure sdk used for the azurearm cloud driver now depends on azure-cli>=2.0.12

   New saltclass pillar/master_tops modules
       This module clones the behaviour of reclass (http://reclass.pantsfullofunix.net/), without
       the  need  of an external app, and add several features to improve flexibility.  Saltclass
       lets you define your nodes from  simple  yaml  files  (.yml)  through  hierarchical  class
       inheritance with the possibility to override pillars down the tree.

       Features

       • Define your nodes through hierarchical class inheritance

       • Reuse your reclass data with minimal modifications

            • applications => states

            • parameters => pillars

       • Use Jinja templating in your yaml definitions

       • Access to the following Salt objects in Jinja

            • __opts____salt____grains____pillars__minion_id

       • Chose how to merge or override your lists using ^ character (see examples)

       • Expand variables ${} with possibility to escape them if needed ${} (see examples)

       • Ignores  missing  node/class  and  will  simply return empty without breaking the pillar
         module completely - will be logged

       An       example       subset       of        data        is        available        here:

       A class consists of:

       • zero or more parent classes

       • zero or more states

       • any number of pillars

       A child class can override pillars from a parent class. A node definition is  a  class  in
       itself with an added environment parameter for saltenv definition.

       Class Names

       Class  names  mimic  salt  way  of  defining  states  and  pillar  files.  This means that
       default.users class name will correspond to one of these:

       • <saltclass_path>/classes/default/users.yml<saltclass_path>/classes/default/users/init.yml

       Known limitation

       Currently you can't have both a variable and an escaped variable in the same string as the
       escaped  one  will  not  be  correctly rendered - '${xx}' will stay as is instead of being
       rendered as '${xx}'

   Lists of comments in state returns
       State functions can now return a list of strings for the comment field, as opposed to only
       a  single  string.   This  is  meant  to  ease  writing states with multiple or multi-part
       comments.

   Beacon configuration changes
       In order to remain consistent and to align with other  Salt  components  such  as  states,
       support  for  configuring beacons using dictionary based configuration has been deprecated
       in favor of list based configuration.  All beacons have a validation function  which  will
       check the configuration for the correct format and only load if the validation passes.

   New requisites available in state compiler
   require_any
       The  use  of  require_any  demands  that  one  of  the required states executes before the
       dependent state. The  state  containing  the  require_any  requisite  is  defined  as  the
       dependent  state.  The  states  specified  in the require_any statement are defined as the
       required states. If at least one of the required state's execution succeeds, the dependent
       state  will  then  execute.  If  all  of  the  executions by the required states fail, the
       dependent state will not execute.

   watch_any
       The state containing the watch_any requisite is defined as the watching state. The  states
       specified  in  the watch_any statement are defined as the watched states. When the watched
       states execute, they will return a dictionary containing a key named "changes".

       If the "result" of any of the watched states is True,  the  watching  state  will  execute
       normally,  and  if all of them are False, the watching state will never run.  This part of
       watch mirrors the functionality of the require requisite.

       If the "result" of any of the watched states is True and  the  "changes"  key  contains  a
       populated dictionary (changes occurred in the watched state), then the watch requisite can
       add additional behavior. This additional behavior is defined  by  the  mod_watch  function
       within  the  watching state module. If the mod_watch function exists in the watching state
       module, it will be called in addition to the normal watching state. The return  data  from
       the  mod_watch  function  is  what will be returned to the master in this case; the return
       data from the main watching function is discarded.

       If the "changes" key contains an empty dictionary, the watch requisite acts  exactly  like
       the  require  requisite  (the watching state will execute if "result" is True, and fail if
       "result" is False in the watched state).

   onchanges_any
       The onchanges_any requisite makes a state only apply one of the required states  generates
       changes,  and  if one of the watched state's "result" is True. This can be a useful way to
       execute a post hook after changing aspects of a system.

   onfail_any
       The onfail_any requisite allows for reactions to happen strictly  as  a  response  to  the
       failure  of  at  least  one  other  state.  This  can be used in a number of ways, such as
       executing a second attempt to set up a service or begin to execute a  separate  thread  of
       states because of a failure.

       The onfail_any requisite is applied in the same way as require_any and watch_any.

   Basic Slots support in state compiler
       Slots  extend the state syntax and allows you to do things right before the state function
       is executed. So you can make a decision in  the  last  moment  right  before  a  state  is
       executed.

       Slot syntax looks close to the simple python function call. Here is a simple example:

          copy-some-file:
            file.copy:
              - name: __slot__:salt:test.echo(text=/tmp/some_file)
              - source: __slot__:salt:test.echo(/etc/hosts)

       Read more here.

   Cryptographic layer changes
       M2Crypto  is  coming  back.  We  are making the crypto backend modular but in this release
       M2Crypto is enabled if it's importable by Python. If not Cryptodome or PyCrypto is used as
       it  was  in  the  previous releases. M2Crypto is used in the same way as PyCrypto so there
       would be no compatibility issues, different nodes could use different backends.

   NaCL Module and Runner changes
       In addition to argument changes in both the NaCL module and runner for future  removal  in
       the  3000  release,  the  default  "box_type"  has  changed  from  secretbox to sealedbox.
       SecretBox is data encrypted using private key sk and Sealedbox is encrypted  using  public
       key pk.

   utils functions reorganized into separate modules
       The  Salt  utility functions from salt.utils (typically used by those developing extension
       modules for Salt) have been moved into different modules, grouped logically based on their
       functionality. The old function names will continue to work until the 3000 release of Salt

   Minion Blackout
       During  a  blackout,  minions  will  not execute any remote execution commands, except for
       saltutil.refresh_pillar.  Previously, support was added  so  that  blackouts  are  enabled
       using  a  special  pillar  key,  minion_blackout  set  to  True and an optional pillar key
       minion_blackout_whitelist to  specify  additional  functions  that  are  permitted  during
       blackout. This release adds support for using this feature in the grains as well, by using
       special grains keys minion_blackout and minion_blackout_whitelist.

   Sentry Log Handler
       Configuring sentry raven python client via project, servers, public_key  and  ``secret_key
       is  deprecated  and  won't  work with sentry clients > 3.0.  Instead, the dsn config param
       must be used.

   RAET transport
       We haven't been doing development on RAET for quite some time and decided that 2018.3.0 is
       the  time  to  announce  the  deprecation.  RAET  support  will be removed in 3000. Please
       consider to move to zeromq or tcp transport instead of raet.

       WARNING:
          If you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this  will  now
          cause  errors  in  Python  2  since  Jinja does not produce YAML-compatible output when
          strings in the data structures contain unicode types. The  dictionary  must  be  passed
          through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To make it valid, use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict | json }}

   Tornado 5.0 Support for Python 2 Only
       Tornado  5.0 moves to using asyncio for all python3 versions.  Because of this and changes
       in asyncio between python 3.4 and 3.5 to only be able to use one  ioloop,  which  requires
       some rearchitecting, support for tornado 5.0 and python3 versions of salt has been delayed
       to a later release.

       For now, to use tornado 5.0, the python 2 version of salt must be used.

   Changes to Slack Engine pillars
       When using groups_pillar_name for the slack engine, the engine should be used as part of a
       salt-minion  process  running  on  the master.  This will allow the minion to have pillars
       assigned to it, and will still allow the engine to create a LocalClient connection to  the
       master ipc sockets to control environments.

   Changes to Automatically Updating the Roster File
       In  2018.3.0  salt-ssh  was  configured  to automatically update the flat roster file if a
       minion was not found for salt-ssh. This was decided to be undesirable as a  default.   The
       --skip-roster  flag has been removed and replaced  with --update-roster, which will enable
       salt-ssh to add minions to the flat roster file.  This behavior can  also  be  enabled  by
       setting ssh_update_roster: True in the master config file.

   Changes to file.blockreplace State
       The append_newline argument was added to this state. Additionally, to improve idempotence,
       if the string represented by marker_end is found in the middle of the  line,  the  content
       preceding the marker will be removed when the block is replaced. This allows one to remove
       append_newline: False from the SLS and have the block properly replaced if the end of  the
       content  block  is  immediately  followed  by  the  marker_end (i.e. no newline before the
       marker).

       NOTE:
          This will require changes to your SLS if your marker_end  does  not  include  the  very
          beginning of the content you want to keep.

       See the file.blockreplace state documentation for further information.

               requires.   Previously if you have multiple states using 'onfail' and two of those
               states using a 'require' against the first one state, the last two will  run  even
               if  the  'onfail'  isn't  met because the 'require' is met because the first state
               returns true even though it didn't execute.  This change adds an additional hidden
               variable that is used when checking requisities to determine if the state actually
               ran.

   Salt 2018.3.2 Release Notes
       Version 2018.3.2 is a bugfix release for 2018.3.0.

       The 2018.3.2 release contains only a small number of fixes, which are detailed below.

       This release fixes two critical issues.

       The first is Issue #48038, which is a critical bug that occurs  in  a  multi-syndic  setup
       where the same job is run multiple times on a minion.

       The  second issue is #48130. This bug appears in certain setups where the Master reports a
       Minion time-out, even though the job is still running on the Minion.

       Both of these issues have been fixed with this release.

       WARNING:
          If you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this  will  now
          cause  errors  in  Python  2  since  Jinja does not produce YAML-compatible output when
          strings in the data structures contain unicode types. The  dictionary  must  be  passed
          through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To make it valid, use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict | json }}

       WARNING:
          If you are using Jinja to dump lists or dictionaries in your SLS files, this  will  now
          cause  errors  in  Python  2  since  Jinja does not produce YAML-compatible output when
          strings in the data structures contain unicode types. The  dictionary  must  be  passed
          through a Jinja filter to produce YAML-compatible strings.

          The below is an example of invalid SLS:

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict }}

          To  make  it  valid,  use either one of Salt's own json or yaml filters. Another option
          would be to use Jinja's tojson filter.

              /etc/foo.conf:
                file.mangaged:
                  - source: salt://foo.conf
                  - template: jinja
                  - defaults: {{ mydict | tojson }}

   Security Fix
       CVE-2018-15751 Remote command execution and incorrect access control when using salt-api.

       CVE-2018-15750 Directory traversal vulnerability when using salt-api. Allows  an  attacker
       to determine what files exist on a server when querying /run or /events.

   Changes to win_timezone
       Improves timezone detection by using the pytz module.

       timezone.get_offset and timezone.get_zonecode now work properly.

       Adds timezone.list to list supported timezones in either Windows or Unix format.

   New Jinja Filter
       The tojson filter (from Jinja 2.9 and later) has been ported to Salt,  and  will  be  used
       when  this  filter  is  not available. This allows older LTS releases such as CentOS 7 and
       Ubuntu 14.04 to use this filter.

       You can use this filter any time you wish to dump a list or dictionary into an  SLS  file,
       to ensure that the result is able to be loaded by the YAML renderer.  For example:

          foo:
            bar.baz:
              - some_arg: {{ mydict | tojson }}

   MacOSX escape characters with runas
       You are now required to escape quotes when using the runas argument with the cmd module on
       macosx.

       Example:

          cmd.run 'echo '\''h=\"baz\"'\''' runas=macuser

             • 1f5aa4b  pkg.installed currently fails when sources is used along with hold: True.
               This was due to a change in #48426 that swapped out sending the pkgs variable  for
               the  desired  variable instead. This caused problems with pkg.hold because desired
               and sources are always populated, and pkg.hold can only include one or the  other.
               This  change  just  includes desired in the call to pkg.hold since desired has the
               same value for sources.

           This was due to a change in #48426 that swapped out sending the pkgs variable for  the
           desired  variable  instead.  This  caused  problems  with pkg.hold because desired and
           sources are always populated, and pkg.hold can only include one  or  the  other.  This
           change  just includes desired in the call to pkg.hold since desired has the same value
           for sources.

         • eedeacb Updating another reference to salt.utils.mac_utils to use __utils__

         • 6ef5ce4 Due to a previous PR the test_sdb_runner in sdb.test_vault was failing because
           of  a  exception  that was being swallowed in the test run_run function. The cause was
           that when vault related functions were being run, if they were being run on the master
           then  they  were  being  forced  to  run  through the _get_token_and_url_from_master()
           function, which is pull the id element out of the grains dictionary. When the call was
           taking  place  from  a  runner, the exception was popping up since there is no id when
           called from a runner. This fix checks to see if the id exists in the dictionary first,
           if   it   is   there   then   _get_token_and_url_from_master()  is  called,  otherwise
           _use_local_config is called.

   Salt 2018.3.5 Release Notes
       Version 2018.3.5 is a CVE-fix release for 2018.3.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2019-17361

       With  the  Salt NetAPI enabled in addition to having a SSH roster defined, unauthenticated
       access is possible when specifying the client as SSH.  Additionally,  when  the  raw_shell
       option  is  specified  any arbitrary command may be run on the Salt master when specifying
       SSH options.

   Salt 2017.7.0 Release Notes - Codename Nitrogen
   Python 3
       The 2017.7 Salt Release adds initial Python 3 support.

       The default Python version of Salt will remain Python 2, although Python 3  packages  will
       be supplied for users who want to help test this new feature.

   Python 2.6 Deprecation
       Salt will no longer support Python 2.6. We will provide python2.7 packages on our repo for
       RedHat and CentOS 6 to ensure users can still run Salt on these platforms.

       As this will impact the installation of additional dependencies for  salt  modules  please
       use  pip  packages  if  there is not a package available in a repository. You will need to
       install the python27-pip package to get  access  to  the  correct  pip27  executable:  yum
       install python27-pip

   Known Issues
       The  following  salt-cloud  drivers have known issues running with Python 3. These drivers
       will not work with Python 3, and Python 2.7 should be used instead:

       • Joyent

       • When running under Python 3, users who require Unicode  support  should  ensure  that  a
         locale  is  set  on their machines.  Users using the C locale are advised to switch to a
         UTF-aware locale to ensure proper functionality with Salt with Python 3.

   Remember to update the Salt Master first
       Salt's policy has always been that when upgrading, the minion should never be on  a  newer
       version  than  the  master.   Specifically  with  this  update,  because of changes in the
       fileclient, the 2017.7 minion requires a 2017.7 master.

       Backwards compatibility is still maintained, so older minions can still be used.

       More information can be found in the Salt FAQ

   States Added for Management of systemd Unit Masking
       The service.masked and service.umasked states have been added  to  allow  Salt  to  manage
       masking of systemd units.

       Additionally,  the  following  functions  in  the systemd execution module have changed to
       accommodate the fact that indefinite and runtime masks can co-exist for the same unit:

       • service.masked - The return from this  function  has  changed  from  previous  releases.
         Before,  False would be returned if the unit was not masked, and the output of systemctl
         is-enabled <unit name> would  be  returned  if  the  unit  was  masked.  However,  since
         indefinite and runtime masks can exist for the same unit at the same time, this function
         has been altered to accept a runtime argument. If True, the minion will be checked for a
         runtime  mask  assigned to the named unit. If False, then the minion will be checked for
         an indefinite mask. If one is found, True will be returned. If not, then False  will  be
         returned.

       • service.masked  -  This  function  used to just run systemctl is-enabled <unit name> and
         based on the return from this function the corresponding mask  type  would  be  removed.
         However,  if both runtime and indefinite masks are set for the same unit, then systemctl
         is-enabled <unit name> would show just the indefinite mask. The indefinite mask would be
         removed,  but  the runtime mask would remain. The function has been modified to accept a
         runtime argument, and will attempt to remove a runtime mask if that argument is  set  to
         True. If set to False, it will attempt to remove an indefinite mask.

       These new runtime arguments default to False.

   Pillar Encryption
       Beginning  in 2016.3.0 the CLI pillar data passed to several functions could conditionally
       be passed through a renderer to be decrypted. This functionality has now been extended  to
       pillar SLS files as well. See here for detailed documentation on this feature.

   Grains Changes
       • The  osmajorrelease  grain  has  been changed from a string to an integer.  State files,
         especially those using a templating language like Jinja, may  need  to  be  adjusted  to
         account for this change.

       • Add ability to specify disk backing mode in the VMWare salt cloud profile.

   State Module Changes
       • The  service.running and service.dead states now support a no_block argument which, when
         set to True on systemd minions, will start/stop the service using the --no-block flag in
         the systemctl command. On non-systemd minions, a warning will be issued.

       • The  module.run  state  has  dropped  its  previous  syntax  with m_ prefix for reserved
         keywords. Additionally, it allows running several functions in a batch.

         NOTE:
            It is necessary to explicitly turn on the new behavior (see below)

            # Before
            run_something:
              module.run:
                - name: mymodule.something
                - m_name: 'some name'
                - kwargs: {
                  first_arg: 'one',
                  second_arg: 'two',
                  do_stuff: 'True'
                }

            # After
            run_something:
              module.run:
                - mymodule.something:
                  - name: some name
                  - first_arg: one
                  - second_arg: two
                  - do_stuff: True

         Since a lot of users are  already  using  module.run  states,  this  new  behavior  must
         currently  be explicitly turned on, to allow users to take their time updating their SLS
         files. However, please keep in mind that the new syntax will take  effect  in  the  next
         feature  release  of Salt (Oxygen) and the old usage will no longer be supported at that
         time.

         Another feature of the new module.run is that it allows  calling  many  functions  in  a
         single batch, such as:

            run_something:
              module.run:
                - mymodule.function_without_parameters:
                - mymodule.another_function:
                  - myparam
                  - my_other_param

         In  a  rare case that you have a function that needs to be called several times but with
         the different parameters, an additional feature of "tagging" is to the rescue. In  order
         to tag a function, use a colon delimiter. For example:

            run_something:
              module.run:
                - mymodule.same_function:1:
                - mymodule.same_function:2:
                  - myparam
                  - my_other_param
                - mymodule.same_function:3:
                  - foo: bar

         The  example  above  will  run  mymodule.same_function  three  times  with the different
         parameters.

         To enable the new behavior for module.run, add the following to the minion config file:

            use_superseded:
              - module.run

       • The default for the fingerprint_hash_type option used in the present function in the ssh
         state changed from md5 to sha256.

   Execution Module Changes
       • Several functions in the systemd execution module have gained a no_block argument, which
         when set to True will use --no-block in the systemctl command.

       • In the solarisips pkg module,  the  default  value  for  the  refresh  argument  to  the
         list_upgrades function has been changed from False to True. This makes the function more
         consistent with all of the other pkg modules (The other pkg.list_upgrades functions  all
         defaulted to True).

       • The functions which handle masking in the systemd module have changed. These changes are
         described above alongside the information on the new states which  have  been  added  to
         manage masking of systemd units.

       • The  pkg.list_repo_pkgs  function  for  yum/dnf-based distros has had its default output
         format changed.  In prior releases, results would be organized by repository.  Now,  the
         default  for  each  package  will be a simple list of versions. To get the old behavior,
         pass byrepo=True to the function.

       • A pkg.list_repo_pkgs function has been added for both Debian/Ubuntu and Arch Linux-based
         distros.

       • The  system  module changed its return format from "HH:MM AM/PM" to "HH:MM:SS AM/PM" for
         get_system_time.

       • The default for the fingerprint_hash_type  option  used  in  the  ssh  execution  module
         changed from md5 to sha256.

   Proxy Module Changes
       The  proxy_merge_grains_in_module  configuration  variable  introduced in 2016.3, has been
       changed, defaulting to True.

       The connection with the remote device is kept alive by default, when the module implements
       the  alive function and proxy_keep_alive is set to True. The polling interval is set using
       the proxy_keep_alive_interval option which defaults to 1 minute.

       The developers are also able to use the proxy_always_alive, when designing a proxy  module
       flexible enough to open the connection with the remote device only when required.

   Wildcard Versions in pkg.installed States
       • The  pkg.installed  state  now supports wildcards in package versions, for the following
         platforms:

         • SUSE/openSUSE Leap/Thumbleweed

         • Debian/Ubuntu

         • RHEL/CentOS

         • Arch Linux

         This support also extends to any derivatives of these distros,  which  use  the  aptpkg,
         yumpkg, or pacman providers for the pkg virtual module.

         Using  wildcards  can  be  useful  for packages where the release name is built into the
         version in some way, such as for RHEL/CentOS which typically has  version  numbers  like
         1.2.34-5.el7. An example of the usage for this would be:

            mypkg:
              pkg.installed:
                - version: '1.2.34*'

   Master Configuration Additionssyndic_forward_all_events  - Option on multi-syndic or single when connected to multiple
         masters to be able to send events to all connected masters.

       • eauth_acl_module - In case external auth is enabled master can get authenticate and  get
         the authorization list from different auth modules.

       • keep_acl_in_token  -  Option  that  allows  master to build ACL once for each user being
         authenticated and keep it in the token.

   Minion Configuration Additionspillarenv_from_saltenv - When set to True (default is False), the pillarenv option  will
         take  the  same  value  as the effective saltenv when running states. This would allow a
         user to run salt '*' state.apply mysls saltenv=dev, and the SLS for both the  state  and
         pillar  data  would  be  sourced from the dev environment, essentially the equivalent of
         running salt '*' state.apply mysls saltenv=dev pillarenv=dev. Note that if pillarenv  is
         set  in the minion config file, or if pillarenv is provided on the CLI, it will override
         this option.

   salt-api Changes
       The rest_cherrypy netapi module has received a few minor improvements:

       • A CORS bugfix.

       • A new /token convenience endpoint to generate Salt eauth tokens.

       • A proof-of-concept JavaScript single-page application intended to demonstrate how to use
         the Server-Sent Events stream in an application. It is available in a default install by
         visiting the /app URL in a browser.

   Python API Changes
   expr_form Deprecation
       The LocalClient's expr_form argument has been deprecated and  renamed  to  tgt_type.  This
       change  was  made  due to numerous reports of confusion among community members, since the
       targeting method is published to minions as tgt_type, and appears as tgt_type in  the  job
       cache as well.

       While  expr_form will continue to be supported until the 2019.2.0 release cycle (two major
       releases after this one), those  who  are  using  the  LocalClient  (either  directly,  or
       implictly via a netapi module) are encouraged to update their code to use tgt_type.

   full_return Argument in LocalClient and RunnerClient
       An  full_return argument has been added to the cmd and cmd_sync methods in LocalClient and
       RunnerClient which causes the return data structure to  include  job  meta  data  such  as
       retcode.

       This is useful at the Python API:

          >>> import salt.client
          >>> client = salt.client.LocalClient()
          >>> client.cmd("*", "cmd.run", ["return 1"], full_return=True)
          {'jerry': {'jid': '20170520151213898053', 'ret': '', 'retcode': 1}}

       As well as from salt-api:

          % curl -b /tmp/cookies.txt -sS http://localhost:8000 \
              -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
              -d '[{
                  "client": "local",
                  "tgt": "*",
                  "fun": "cmd.run",
                  "arg": ["return 1"],
                  "full_return": true
              }]'

          {"return": [{"jerry": {"jid": "20170520151531477653", "retcode": 1, "ret": ""}}]}

   Jinja
   Filters
       New filters in 2017.7.0:

       • to_boolexactly_n_trueexactly_one_truequoteregex_searchregex_matchuuidis_listis_iterminmaxavgunionintersectdifferencesymmetric_differenceis_sortedcompare_listscompare_dictsis_hexcontains_whitespacesubstring_in_listcheck_whitelist_blacklistdate_formatstr_to_numto_bytesjson_decode_listjson_decode_dictrand_strmd5sha256sha512base64_encodebase64_decodehmachttp_queryis_ipis_ipv4is_ipv6ipaddripv4ipv6network_hostsnetwork_sizegen_macmac_str_to_bytesdns_checkis_text_fileis_binary_fileis_empty_filefile_hashsumlist_filespath_joinwhich

   Logs
       Another  new  feature  -  although  not limited to Jinja only - is being able to log debug
       messages directly from the template:

          {%- do salt.log.error('logging from jinja') -%}

       See the logs paragraph.

   Network Automation
   NAPALM
       Introduced in 2016.11, the modules for cross-vendor network automation have been improved,
       enhanced and widenened in scope:

       • Manage  network  devices  like servers: the NAPALM modules have been transformed so they
         can run in both proxy and regular minions. That means, if the operating  system  allows,
         the  salt-minion package can be installed directly on the network gear. Examples of such
         devices (also covered by NAPALM) include: Arista, Cumulus, Cisco IOS-XR or Cisco Nexus.

       • Not  always  alive:  in  certain  less  dynamic  environments,  maintaining  the  remote
         connection  permanently  open with the network device is not always beneficial. In those
         particular cases, the user can select to initialize the connection only when needed,  by
         specifying  the  field  always_alive:  false  in  the  proxy  configuration or using the
         proxy_always_alive option.

       • Proxy keepalive: due to external factors, the connection with the remote device  can  be
         dropped,  e.g.: packet loss, idle time (no commands issued within a couple of minutes or
         seconds), or simply the device  decides  to  kill  the  process.  In  2017.7.0  we  have
         introduced  the  functionality  to  re-establish  the  connection.  One can disable this
         feature through the proxy_keep_alive option and adjust the polling frequency  specifying
         a custom value for proxy_keep_alive_interval, in minutes.

       New modules:

       • Netconfig  state  module  -  Manage the configuration of network devices using arbitrary
         templates and the Salt-specific advanced templating methodologies.

       • Network ACL execution module - Generate and load ACL (firewall) configuration on network
         devices.

       • Network  ACL  state  -  Manage  the firewall configuration. It only requires writing the
         pillar structure correctly!

       • NAPALM YANG execution module - Parse, generate and load native device configuration in a
         standard  way,  using  the OpenConfig/IETF models. This module contains also helpers for
         the states.

       • NAPALM YANG state module - Manage the network device configuration according to the YANG
         models (OpenConfig or IETF).

       • NET  finder - Runner to find details easily and fast. It's smart enough to know what you
         are looking for. It will search in the details of the network interfaces, IP  addresses,
         MAC address tables, ARP tables and LLDP neighbors.

       • BGP finder - Runner to search BGP neighbors details.

       • NAPALM syslog - Engine to import events from the napalm-logs library into the Salt event
         bus. The events are based on the syslog messages from the network devices and structured
         following the OpenConfig/IETF YANG models.

       • NAPALM  Helpers  -  Generic  helpers  for  NAPALM-related  operations.  For example, the
         Compliance report function can be used inside the state modules to compare the  expected
         and the existing configuration.

       New functions:

       • Configuration getter - Return the whole configuration of the network device.

       • Optics  getter  -  Fetches  the power usage on the various transceivers installed on the
         network device (in dBm).

       New grains: Host, Host DNS, Username and Optional args.

   Custom Refspecs in GitFS / git_pillar / winrepo
       It is now possible to specify the refspecs to use when fetching from  remote  repositories
       for  GitFS,  git_pillar,  and  winrepo.  More information on how this feature works can be
       found here in the GitFS Walkthrough. The git_pillar and winrepo versions of  this  feature
       work the same as their GitFS counterpart.

   git_pillar mountpoints Feature Added
       See here for detailed documentation.

   Big Improvements to Docker Support
       The  old  docker state and execution modules have been moved to salt-contrib. The dockerng
       execution module has been renamed to docker and  now  serves  as  Salt's  official  Docker
       execution module.

       The old dockerng state module has been split into 4 state modules:

       • docker_container - States to manage Docker containers

       • docker_image - States to manage Docker images

       • docker_volume - States to manage Docker volumes

       • docker_network - States to manage Docker networks

       The  reason  for  this  change  was to make states and requisites more clear. For example,
       imagine this SLS:

          myuser/appimage:
            docker.image_present:
              - sls: docker.images.appimage

          myapp:
            docker.running:
              - image: myuser/appimage
              - require:
                - docker: myuser/appimage

       The new syntax would be:

          myuser/appimage:
            docker_image.present:
              - sls: docker.images.appimage

          myapp:
            docker_container.running:
              - image: myuser/appimage
              - require:
                - docker_image: myuser/appimage

       This is similar to how Salt handles MySQL, MongoDB, Zabbix, and other cases where the same
       execution  module  is used to manage several different kinds of objects (users, databases,
       roles, etc.).

       NOTE:
          With the Moby announcement coming at this year's  DockerCon,  Salt's  docker  execution
          module (as well as the state modules) work interchangeably when docker is replaced with
          moby (e.g.  moby_container.running, moby_image.present, moby.inspect_container, etc.)

       The old syntax will continue to work until the 2019.2.0 release of Salt.  The old dockerng
       naming  will  also continue to work until that release, so no immediate changes need to be
       made to your SLS files (unless you were still using the old docker states that  have  been
       moved to salt-contrib).

       The docker_container.running state has undergone a significant change in how it determines
       whether or not a  container  needs  to  be  replaced.  Rather  than  comparing  individual
       arguments  to  their corresponding values in the named container, a temporary container is
       created (but not started) using the passed arguments. The two containers are then compared
       to  each other to determine whether or not there are changes, and if so, the old container
       is stopped and destroyed, and the temporary container is renamed and started.

       Salt still needs to translate arguments into the format which docker-py expects, but if it
       does not properly do so, the skip_translate argument can be used to skip input translation
       on an argument-by-argument basis, and you can then format your SLS file to pass  the  data
       in  the  format  that the docker-py expects. This allows you to work around any changes in
       Docker's API or issues with the input translation, and  continue  to  manage  your  Docker
       containers using Salt. Read the documentation for skip_translate for more information.

       NOTE:
          When  running  the docker_container.running state for the first time after upgrading to
          2017.7.0, your container(s) may be replaced. The changes may  show  diffs  for  certain
          parameters which say that the old value was an empty string, and the new value is None.
          This is due to the fact that in prior releases Salt was passing empty strings for these
          values  when  creating  the container if they were undefined in the SLS file, where now
          Salt simply does not pass any  arguments  not  explicitly  defined  in  the  SLS  file.
          Subsequent  runs  of  the  state  should not replace the container if the configuration
          remains unchanged.

   New SSH Cache Roster
       The SSH cache Roster has been rewritten from scratch to increase its usefulness.  The  new
       roster  supports  all minion matchers, so it is now possible to target minions identically
       through salt and salt-ssh.

       Using the new roster_order configuration syntax it's now possible to compose a roster  out
       of  any  combination  of  grains,  pillar  and  mine data and even Salt SDB URLs.  The new
       release is also fully IPv4 and IPv6 enabled and even has support for CIDR ranges.

   Salt-SSH Default Options
       Defaults for rosters can now be set, so that they don't have to be set on every entry in a
       roster or specified from the commandline.

       The new option is roster_defaults and is specified in the master config file:

          roster_defaults:
            user: daniel
            sudo: True
            priv: /root/.ssh/id_rsa
            tty: True

   Blacklist or Whitelist Extmod Sync
       The modules that are synced to minions can now be limited.

       The following configuration options have been added for the master:

       • extmod_whitelistextmod_blacklist

       and for the minion:

       • extmod_whitelistextmod_blacklist

   Additional Features
       • The  mine.update function has a new optional argument mine_functions that can be used to
         refresh  mine  functions  at  a  more  specific  interval  than  scheduled   using   the
         mine_interval  option.   However,  this  argument can be used by explicit schedule.  For
         example, if we need the mines for net.lldp to be refreshed every 12 hours:

            schedule:
              lldp_mine_update:
                function: mine.update
                kwargs:
                  mine_functions:
                    net.lldp: []
                hours: 12

       • The salt runner has a new function: salt.execute.  It is mainly a shortcut to facilitate
         the execution of various functions from other runners, e.g.:

            ret1 = __salt__["salt.execute"]("*", "mod.fun")

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-12791  Maliciously  crafted minion IDs can cause unwanted directory traversals on
       the Salt-master

       Correct a flaw in minion id validation which could allow certain minions  to  authenticate
       to  a  master despite not having the correct credentials. To exploit the vulnerability, an
       attacker must create a salt-minion with an ID containing  characters  that  will  cause  a
       directory traversal. Credit for discovering the security flaw goes to: Vernhk@qq.com

   Windows Changes
   pkg Execution Module`
       Significate changes (PR #43708 & #45390, damon-atkins) have been made to the pkg execution
       module. Users should test this release  against  their  existing  package  sls  definition
       files.

       • pkg.list_available no longer defaults to refreshing the winrepo meta database.

       • pkg.install  without  a version parameter no longer upgrades software if the software is
         already installed.  Use pkg.install version=latest (or simply use a pkg.latest state  to
         get the old behavior.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns multiple versions if software installed more than once.

       • pkg.list_pkgs  now returns Not Found when the version is not found instead of (value not
         set) which matches the contents of the sls definitions.

       • pkg.remove will wait up to 3 seconds (normally about a second) to detect changes in  the
         registry after removing software, improving reporting of version changes.

       • pkg.remove can remove latest software, if latest is defined in sls definition.

       • Documentation  was  update  for the execution module to match the style in new versions,
         some corrections as well.

       • All install/remove commands are prefix with cmd.exe shell and cmdmod is  called  with  a
         command  line  string  instead  of  a  list. Some sls files in saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng
         expected the commands to be prefixed with cmd.exe (i.e. the use of &).

       • Some execution module functions results, now behave more like their Unix/Linux versions.

   cmd Execution Module
       Due to a difference in  how  Python's  subprocess.Popen()  spawns  processes  on  Windows,
       passing  the  command  as  a  list  of  arguments can result in problems.  This is because
       Windows' CreateProcess requires the command to be passed as a  single  string.  Therefore,
       subprocess  will attempt to re-assemble the list of arguments into as string. Some escaped
       characters and  quotes  can  cause  the  resulting  string  to  be  incorrectly-assembled,
       resulting in a failure to execute the command.

       Salt  now  deals  with these cases by joining the list of arguments correctly and ensuring
       that the command is passed to subprocess.Popen() as a string.

   Changes to file.blockreplace State
       The append_newline argument was added to this state. Additionally, to improve idempotence,
       if the string represented by marker_end is found in the middle of the  line,  the  content
       preceding the marker will be removed when the block is replaced. This allows one to remove
       append_newline: False from the SLS and have the block properly replaced if the end of  the
       content  block  is  immediately  followed  by  the  marker_end (i.e. no newline before the
       marker).

       NOTE:
          This will require changes to your SLS if your marker_end  does  not  include  the  very
          beginning of the content you want to keep.

       See the file.blockreplace state documentation for further information.

   Tornado 5.0 Support for Python 2 Only
       Tornado 5.0 moves to using asyncio for all python3 versions.  Because of this and  changes
       in  asyncio  between  python 3.4 and 3.5 to only be able to use one ioloop, which requires
       some rearchitecting, support for tornado 5.0 and python3 versions of salt has been delayed
       to a later release.

       For now, to use tornado 5.0, the python 2 version of salt must be used.

   Option to Return to Previous Pillar Include Behavior
       Prior to version 2017.7.3, keys from pillar includes would be merged on top of the  pillar
       SLS. Since 2017.7.3, the includes are merged together and then the pillar SLS is merged on
       top of that.

       The pillar_includes_override_sls option has been added allow users to switch back  to  the
       pre-2017.7.3 behavior.

           Previously  if you have multiple states using 'onfail' and two of those states using a

           isn't  met  because  the  'require'  is  met because the first state returns true even

   Salt 2017.7.7 Release Notes
       Version 2017.7.7 is a bugfix release for 2017.7.0.

       The 2017.7.7 release contains only a small number of fixes, which are detailed below.

       This release fixes two critical issues.

       The first is Issue #48038, which is a critical bug that occurs  in  a  multi-syndic  setup
       where the same job is run multiple times on a minion.

       The  second issue is #48130. This bug appears in certain setups where the Master reports a
       Minion time-out, even though the job is still running on the Minion.

       Both of these issues have been fixed with this release.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2018-15751 Remote command execution and incorrect access control when using salt-api.

       CVE-2018-15750  Directory  traversal vulnerability when using salt-api. Allows an attacker
       to determine what files exist on a server when querying /run or /events.

   New win_snmp behaviorwin_snmp.get_community_names  now  returns  the  SNMP settings actually in effect on the
         box. If  settings  are  managed  via  GroupPolicy,  those  settings  will  be  returned.
         Otherwise, normal settings are returned.

       • win_snmp.set_community_names now raises an error when SNMP settings are being managed by
         GroupPolicy.

   Option Added to Disable Docker Mine Updates
       When a docker container is added, removed,  started,  stopped,  etc.,  the  results  of  a
       docker.ps   verbose=True  all=True  host=True  are  sent  to  the  mine,  to  be  used  by
       mine.get_docker.

       A new config option (docker.update_mine) has been added.  When set to False, Salt will not
       send  this information to the mine. This is useful in cases where sensitive information is
       stored in the container's environment.

       an empty string.

   Salt 2016.11.0 Release Notes - Codename Carbon
   New Features
   Docker Introspection and Configuration
       Major additions have been made to the Docker support in 2016.11.0. The new addition allows
       Salt to be executed within a Docker container without a minion running or installed in the
       container.  This allows states to be run inside a container, but also all of Salt's remote
       execution commands to be run inside  docker  containers  as  well.  This  makes  container
       introspection simple and powerful. See the tutorial on using this new feature here:

       See Salt in Docker Containers.

   Advanced Ceph Control
       Our friends over at SUSE have delivered a powerful new tool to make the deployment of Ceph
       storage systems using Salt very easy. These new Ceph tools allow for a storage  system  to
       be easily defined using the new ceph.quorum state.

   Thorium Additions and Improvements
       The  Thorium  advanced reactor has undergone extensive testing and updates.  These updates
       include many more Thorium states, a system for automating key management, the  ability  to
       use Thorium to easily replace old reactors and a great deal of stability and bug fixes.

   State Rollback Using Snapper
       Rollback  has  been  one  of  the  most prevalent requests for Salt. We have researched it
       extensively and concluded that the only way to accomplish truly reliable rollback would be
       to  execute  it  at  the  filesystem  layer. To accomplish this we have introduced Snapper
       integration into Salt States.

       Snapper is a tool which allows for simple and reliable snapshots of the filesystem  to  be
       made.  With the new snapper_states option set to True in the minion config a snapshot will
       be made before and after every Salt State run.

       These snapshots can be viewed, managed and  rolled  back  to  via  the  snapper  execution
       module.

   Preserve File Perms in File States
       This feature has been requested for years, the ability to set a flag and use the same file
       permissions for files deployed to a minion as the permissions  set  to  the  file  on  the
       master. Just set the keep_mode option on any file management state to True.

   Ponies!
       We  all  agreed  that cowsay was just not good enough, install the ponysay command and the
       new pony outputter will work. Fun for the whole family!

   Additional Features
       • Minions can run in stand-alone mode to use beacons and engines without having to connect
         to a master. (Thanks @adelcast!)

       • Added a salt runner to allow running salt modules via salt-run.

                salt-run salt.cmd test.ping
                # call functions with arguments and keyword arguments
                salt-run salt.cmd test.arg 1 2 3 a=1

       • Added  SSL support to Cassandra CQL returner.  SSL can be enabled by setting ssl_options
         for the returner.  Also added support for specifying protocol_version when  establishing
         cluster connection.

       • The  mode  parameter  in  the  file.managed  state,  and  the file_mode parameter in the
         file.recurse state, can both now be set to keep and the minion will keep the mode of the
         file  from  the Salt fileserver. This works only with files coming from sources prefixed
         with salt://, or files local to the minion (i.e. those which are absolute paths, or  are
         prefixed with file://). For example:

            /etc/myapp/myapp.conf:
              file.managed:
                - source: salt://conf/myapp/myapp.conf
                - mode: keep

            /var/www/myapp:
              file.recurse:
                - source: salt://path/to/myapp
                - dir_mode: 755
                - file_mode: keep

       • The  junos  state  module is now available. It has all the functions that are present in
         the junos execution module.

       • The junos state module is now available. It has all the functions that  are  present  in
         the junos execution module.

       • The  minion  data  cache  is  a  pluggable  data store now. It's configurable with cache
         option. Default is localfs.

       • User names in client_acl support glob matching now.

   New Top File Merging Strategy for States
       A new strategy called merge_all has been added to provide a new way of  merging  top  file
       matches  when  executing a highstate.  See the top_file_merging_strategy documentation for
       further information.

       In addition, the same merging strategy was not functioning as documented.   This  has  now
       been  corrected.  While  this  is technically a bugfix, we decided to hold a change in top
       file merging until a feature release to minimize user impact.

   Improved Archive Extraction Support
       The archive.extracted state has been overhauled. Notable changes include the following:

       • When enforcing ownership (with the user and/or group arguments), the if_missing argument
         no  longer  has  any  connection  to which path(s) have ownership enforced. Instead, the
         paths are determined using the either the  newly-added  archive.list  function,  or  the
         newly-added enforce_ownership_on argument.

       • if_missing  also  is  no longer required to skip extraction, as Salt is now able to tell
         which paths would be present if the archive were extracted. It should,  in  most  cases,
         only  be  necessary  in  cases  where  a  semaphore  file  is used to conditionally skip
         extraction of the archive.

       • Password-protected ZIP archives are now detected before extraction, and the state  fails
         without attempting to extract the archive if no password was specified.

       • By default, a single top-level directory is enforced, to guard against 'tar-bombs'. This
         enforcement can be disabled by setting enforce_toplevel to False.

       • The tar_options and zip_options arguments have been deprecated  in  favor  of  a  single
         options argument.

       • The  archive_format  argument is now optional. The ending of the source argument is used
         to guess whether it is a tar, zip or rar file. If the archive_format cannot be  guessed,
         then it will need to be specified, but in many cases it can now be omitted.

       • Ownership enforcement is now performed irrespective of whether or not the archive needed
         to be extracted. This means that the state can be re-run  after  the  archive  has  been
         fully extracted to repair changes to ownership.

       A   number  of  new  arguments  were  also  added.  See  the  docs  py:func:docs  for  the
       archive.extracted state <salt.states.archive.extracted> for more information.

       Additionally, the following changes have been made to the archive execution module:

       • A new function (archive.list) has been added. This function lists the  files/directories
         in an archive file, and supports a verbose argument that gives a more detailed breakdown
         of which paths are files, which are directories, and which paths are at the top level of
         the archive.

       • A  new function (archive.is_encrypted) has been added. This function will return True if
         the archive is a password-protected ZIP file, False if not. If the archive is not a  ZIP
         file, an error will be raised.

       • archive.cmd_unzip  now  supports  passing a password, bringing it to feature parity with
         archive.unzip. Note that this is still not considered to be secure, and archive.unzip is
         recommended for dealing with password-protected ZIP archives.

       • The  default  value  for the extract_perms argument to archive.unzip has been changed to
         True.

   Improved Checksum Handling in file.managed, archive.extracted States
       When the source_hash argument for these states refers to a file containing checksums, Salt
       now  looks  for  checksums  matching the name of the source URI, as well as the file being
       managed. Prior releases only looked for checksums matching  the  filename  being  managed.
       Additionally,  a  new argument (source_hash_name) has been added, which allows the user to
       disambiguate ambiguous matches when more than  one  matching  checksum  is  found  in  the
       source_hash file.

       A  more  detailed  explanation  of  this  functionality  can  be found in the file.managed
       documentation, in the section for the new source_hash_name argument.

       NOTE:
          This improved functionality is also available in  the  2016.3  (Boron)  release  cycle,
          starting with the 2016.3.5 release.

   Config Changes
       The following default config values were changed:

       • gitfs_ssl_verify: Changed from False to Truegit_pillar_ssl_verify: Changed from False to Truewinrepo_ssl_verify: Changed from False to True

   Grains Changes
       • All  core  grains  containing  VMWare have been changed to VMware, which is the official
         capitalization.  Additionally, all references to VMWare in the documentation  have  been
         changed  to  VMware  issue #30807.  Environments using versions of Salt before and after
         Salt 2016.11.0 should employ case-insensitive grain matching on these grains.

            {% set on_vmware = grains['virtual'].lower() == 'vmware' %}

       • On Windows the cpu_model grain has been changed to provide the actual cpu model name and
         not the cpu family.

         Old behavior:

            root@master:~# salt 'testwin200' grains.item cpu_model
            testwin200:
                ----------
                cpu_model:
                    Intel64 Family 6 Model 58 Stepping 9, GenuineIntel

         New behavior:

            root@master:~# salt 'testwin200' grains.item cpu_model
            testwin200:
                ----------
                cpu_model:
                    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3520M CPU @ 2.90GHz

   Beacons Changes
       • The  loadavg  beacon  now  outputs  averages as integers instead of strings.  (Via issue
         #31124.)

   Runner Changes
       • Runners can now call out to utility modules via __utils__.

       • ref:Utility modules <writing-utility-modules> (placed in salt://_utils/) are now able to
         be  synced  to  the  master,  making  it  easier  to  use  them  in  custom  runners.  A
         saltutil.sync_utils function has been added to the saltutil  runner  to  facilitate  the
         syncing of utility modules to the master.

   Pillar Changes
       • Thanks  to  the  new  saltutil.sync_utils  runner,  it  is now easier to get ref:utility
         modules <writing-utility-modules> synced to the correct location on the Master  so  that
         they are available in execution modules called from Pillar SLS files.

   Junos Module Changes
       • The following new functionalities were added to the junos module

         • facts - Displays the facts gathered during the connection.

         • shutdown - Shut down or reboot a device running Junos OS.

         • install_config - Modify the configuration of a Junos device.

         • install_os - Install Junos OS software package.

         • zeroize  -  Remove  all configuration information on the Routing Engines and reset all
           key values on a device.

         • file_copy - Copy file from proxy to the Junos device.

   Network Automation: NAPALM
       Beginning with 2016.11.0, network automation is included by default in the core  of  Salt.
       It  is  based  on a the NAPALM library and provides facilities to manage the configuration
       and retrieve data from network devices running widely used operating systems such:  JunOS,
       IOS-XR, eOS, IOS, NX-OS etc.

       • see the complete list of supported devices.

       The connection is established via the NAPALM proxy.

       In the current release, the following modules were included:

       • NAPALM grains - Select network devices based on their characteristics

       • NET execution module - Networking basic features

       • NTP execution moduleBGP execution moduleRoutes execution moduleSNMP execution moduleUsers execution moduleProbes execution moduleNTP peers management stateSNMP configuration management stateUsers management state

   Cisco NXOS Proxy Minion
       Beginning with 2016.11.0, there is a proxy minion that can be used to configure nxos cisco
       devices over ssh.

       • Proxy MinionExecution ModuleState Module

   Cisco Network Services Orchestrator Proxy Minion
       Beginning with 2016.11.0, there is a proxy  minion  to  use  the  Cisco  Network  Services
       Orchestrator as a proxy minion.

       • Proxy MinionExecution ModuleState Module

   Junos Module Changes
       • The following new functionalities were added to the junos module

         • facts - Displays the facts gathered during the connection.

         • shutdown - Shut down or reboot a device running Junos OS.

         • install_config - Modify the configuration of a Junos device.

         • install_os - Install Junos OS software package.

         • zeroize  -  Remove  all configuration information on the Routing Engines and reset all
           key values on a device.

         • file_copy - Copy file from proxy to the Junos device.

   Returner Changes
       • Any returner which implements a save_load function is now required to accept  a  minions
         keyword argument. All returners which ship with Salt have been modified to do so.

   Renderer Changes
       Added   the   ability   to   restrict   allowed  renderers.  Two  new  config  parameters,
       renderer_whitelist and renderer_blacklist are introduced for this purpose.

   eAuth Changes
       • External auth modules' auth method can return an ACL list for the given username instead
         of True. This list should be in the same format as described in the eAuth documentation.
         It will be used for the user instead of one set in master config.

         Example of the auth method return that allows a user to execute functions  in  the  test
         and  network modules on the minions that match the web* target and allow access to wheel
         and runner modules:

            [{"web*": ["test.*", "network.*"]}, "@wheel", "@runner"]

       • External auth is supported by salt-run and  salt-key  now.  Note  that  master  must  be
         started to use them with eAuth.

   External Module Packaging
       Modules  may now be packaged via entry-points in setuptools. See external module packaging
       tutorial for more information.

   Functionality Changes
       • The onfail requisite now uses OR logic instead of AND logic.  issue #22370

       • The consul external pillar now strips leading and trailing whitespace.  issue #31165

       • The win_system.py state is now case sensitive for computer  names.  Previously  computer
         names  set with a state were converted to all caps. If you have a state setting computer
         names with lower case letters in the name that has been applied, the computer name  will
         be changed again to apply the case sensitive name.

       • The  mac_user.list_groups function in the mac_user execution module now lists all groups
         for the specified user, including groups  beginning  with  an  underscore.  In  previous
         releases, groups beginning with an underscore were excluded from the list of groups.

       • The  junos.call_rpc  function  in the junos execution module can now be used to call any
         valid rpc. Earlier it used to call only "get_software_information".

       • A new option for minions called master_tries has been added. This specifies  the  number
         of  times  a  minion  should  attempt to contact a master to attempt a connection.  This
         allows better handling of occasional master downtime in a multi-master topology.

       • The default hash_type is now sha256 instead of md5. You will need to make sure both your
         master and minion share the same hash_type.

       • Nodegroups  consisting of a simple list of minion IDs can now also be declared as a yaml
         list. The below two examples are equivalent:

            # Traditional way
            nodegroups:
              - group1: L@host1,host2,host3

            # New way (optional)
            nodegroups:
              - group1:
                - host1
                - host2
                - host3

   New Azure ARM Cloud Driver
       A new cloud driver has been added for Azure ARM, aka,  the  Azure  Resource  Manager.  The
       older  Azure  driver  is  still required to work with the older Azure API. This new driver
       works with the newer ARM API, which is managed via the newer Azure Portal website.

   Deprecations
   General Deprecationsenv to saltenv

         All occurrences of env and some occurrences of __env__ marked for  deprecation  in  Salt
         2016.11.0  have been removed.  The new way to use the salt environment setting is with a
         variable called saltenv:

            def fcn(msg="", env="base", refresh=True, saltenv="base", **kwargs):
                ...

         has been changed to

            def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base", **kwargs):
                ...

         • If env (or __env__) is supplied as a keyword argument to a function that also  accepts
           arbitrary keyword arguments, then a new warning informs the user that env is no longer
           used if it is found.  This new warning will be removed in Salt 2017.7.0.

              def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base", **kwargs):
                  ...

              # will result in a warning log message
              fcn(msg="add more salt", env="prod", refresh=False)

         • If env (or __env__) is supplied as a keyword argument to  a  function  that  does  not
           accept arbitrary keyword arguments, then python will issue an error.

              def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base"):
                  ...

              # will result in a python TypeError
              fcn(msg="add more salt", env="prod", refresh=False)

         • If env (or __env__) is supplied as a positional argument to a function, then undefined
           behavior will occur, as the removal of env and __env__ from  the  function's  argument
           list changes the function's signature.

              def fcn(msg="", refresh=True, saltenv="base"):
                  ...

              # will result in refresh evaluating to True and saltenv likely not being a string at all
              fcn("add more salt", "prod", False)

       • Deprecations in minion.py:

         • The  salt.minion.parse_args_and_kwargs  function  has  been  removed.  Please  use the
           salt.minion.load_args_and_kwargs function instead.

   Cloud Deprecations
       • The vsphere cloud driver has been removed. Please use the vmware cloud driver instead.

       • The private_ip option in the linode cloud driver is deprecated and has been removed. Use
         the assign_private_ip option instead.

       • The  create_dns_record  and  delete_dns_record  functions  are  deprecated and have been
         removed from the digital_ocean driver. Use the post_dns_record function instead.

   Execution Module Deprecations
       • The blockdev execution module had four functions removed:

         • dump

         • tune

         • resize2fs

         • wipe

         The disk module should be used instead with the same function names.

       • The     boto_vpc     execution     module      had      two      functions      removed,
         boto_vpc.associate_new_dhcp_options_to_vpc                                           and
         boto_vpc.associate_new_network_acl_to_subnet in favor of more  concise  function  names,
         boto_vpc.create_dhcp_options and boto_vpc.create_network_acl, respectively.

       • The  data  execution  module  had  getval  and getvals functions removed in favor of one
         function, get, which combines the functionality of the removed functions.

       • File module deprecations:

         • The contains_regex_multiline function was removed. Use file.search instead.

         • Additional command line options for file.grep should be passed one at a time.   Please
           do not pass more than one in a single argument.

       • The lxc execution module has the following changes:

         • The run_cmd function was removed. Use lxc.run instead.

         • The nic argument was removed from the lxc.init function. Use network_profile instead.

         • The clone argument was removed from the lxc.init function. Use clone_from instead.

         • passwords  passed  to  the  lxc.init  function  will  be  assumed to be hashed, unless
           password_encrypted=False.

         • The restart argument for lxc.start was removed. Use lxc.restart instead.

         • The old style of defining lxc containers has been removed. Please use keys under which
           LXC profiles should be configured such as lxc.container_profile.profile_name.

       • The  env  and  activate keyword arguments have been removed from the install function in
         the pip execution module. The use of bin_env replaces both of these options.

       • reg execution module

         Functions in the reg execution module had misleading and  confusing  names  for  dealing
         with the Windows registry. They failed to clearly differentiate between hives, keys, and
         name/value pairs. Keys were treated like value names.  There was no way to delete a key.

         New functions were added in 2015.5 to properly work with the registry. They also made it
         possible  to  edit  key default values as well as delete an entire key tree recursively.
         With the new functions in place, the following functions have been deprecated:

         • read_key

         • set_key

         • create_key

         • delete_key

         Use the following functions instead:

         • for read_key use read_value

         • for set_key use set_value

         • for create_key use set_value with no vname and no vdata

         • for delete_key use delete_key_recursive. To delete a value, use delete_value.

       • The hash_hostname option was removed from the  salt.modules.ssh  execution  module.  The
         hash_known_hosts option should be used instead.

       • The  human_readable  option was removed from the uptime function in the status execution
         module. The function was also updated in 2015.8.9 to return a more complete offering  of
         uptime  information,  formatted  as  an  easy-to-read  dictionary. This updated function
         replaces the need for the human_readable option.

       • The persist kwarg was removed from the win_useradd execution module. This option  is  no
         longer  supported  for  Windows. persist is only supported as part of user management in
         UNIX/Linux.

       • The zpool_list function in the zpool execution module was removed. Use list instead.

   Outputter Module Deprecations
       • The compact outputter has been removed. Set state_verbose to False instead.

   Runner Module Deprecations
       • The grains.cache runner no longer accepts outputter  or  minion  as  keyword  arguments.
         Users  will  need  to  specify an outputter using the --out option. tgt is replacing the
         minion kwarg.

       • The fileserver runner no longer accepts the outputter keyword argument. Users will  need
         to specify an outputter using the --out option.

       • The  jobs  runner  no  longer accepts the outputter keyword argument. Users will need to
         specify an outputter using the --out option.

       • virt runner module:

         • The hyper kwarg was removed from the init, list, and query functions.   Use  the  host
           option instead.

         • The next_hyper function was removed. Use the next_host function instead.

         • The hyper_info function was removed. Use the host_info function instead.

   State Module Deprecations
       • The  env  and activate keyword arguments were removed from the installed function in the
         pip state module. The use of bin_env replaces both of these options.

       • reg state module

         The reg state module was modified to work  with  the  new  functions  in  the  execution
         module.  Some  logic  was left in the reg.present and the reg.absent functions to handle
         existing state files that used the final key in the name as the value name.  That  logic
         has  been  removed so you now must specify value name (vname) and, if needed, value data
         (vdata).

         For example, a state file that adds the version value/data pair to the Software\Salt key
         in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE hive used to look like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt\\version:
              reg.present:
                - value: 2016.3.1

         Now it should look like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt
              reg.present:
                - vname: version
                - vdata: 2016.3.1

         A state file for removing the same value added above would have looked like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt\\version:
              reg.absent:

         Now it should look like this:

            HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\\Salt
              reg.absent:
                - vname: version

         This  new structure is important as it allows salt to deal with key default values which
         was not possible before. If vname is not passed, salt will work with the  default  value
         for that hivekey.

         Additionally,  since  you  could  only  delete  a  value  from a the state module, a new
         function (key_absent) has been added to allow you to  delete  a  registry  key  and  all
         subkeys and name/value pairs recursively. It uses the new delete_key_recursive function.

         For  additional  information  see  the  documentation  for  the  reg execution and state
         modules.

       • lxc state module: The following functions were removed from the lxc state module:

         • created: replaced by the present state.

         • started: replaced by the running state.

         • cloned: replaced by the present state. Use the clone_from argument to set the name  of
           the clone source.

       • The  hash_hostname  option  was  removed from the salt.states.ssh_known_hosts state. The
         hash_known_hosts option should be used instead.

       • The always kwarg used in the built function of the pkgbuild state  module  was  removed.
         Use force instead.

   Utils Module Deprecations
       • The  use  of  jid_dir  and  jid_load  were  removed  from  the  salt.utils.jid.  jid_dir
         functionality for job_cache management was moved to the local_cache  returner.  jid_load
         data is now retrieved from the master_job_cache.

       • ip_in_subnet  function  in  salt.utils.network.py  has  been  removed. Use the in_subnet
         function instead.

       • The iam utils  module  had  two  functions  removed:  salt.utils.iam.get_iam_region  and
         salt.utils.iam.get_iam_metadata    in    favor    of    the    aws    utils    functions
         salt.utils.aws.get_region_from_metadata and salt.utils.aws.creds, respectively.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2017-5192 local_batch client external authentication not respected

       The LocalClient.cmd_batch() method client does not accept external_auth credentials and so
       access to it from salt-api has been  removed  for  now.  This  vulnerability  allows  code
       execution  for  already-authenticated users and is only in effect when running salt-api as
       the root user.

       CVE-2017-5200 Salt-api allows arbitrary command execution  on  a  salt-master  via  Salt's
       ssh_client

       Users  of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole when
       both systems were enabled.

       We recommend everyone upgrade to 2016.11.2 as soon as possible.

         • a6a24e1a1b Addressed edge case when attempting to set the config file  to  'Disabled'.
           The  state  should  only  check  the file, since the in-memory setting won't disappear
           until after reboot.

         • 6858658cc2 The selinux.mode state only checked the current status of SELinux in memory
           (getenforce)  when  determining  if changes needed to be made. The /etc/selinux/config
           file could have a different value, and it would not be changed. This  commit  enhances
           idempotency  of  the  state  in  regards  to both the in-memory and configuration file
           enforcement of SELinux.

   AIX Support Expanded
       AIX support has been added for the following execution modules:

       • usergroupnetworkstatustimezone

       Additionally, AIX is now supported in the disk.iostat remote-execution function,  and  the
       status beacon is now supported.

   Minion Data Cache Enhancement
       Memcache is now supported as a data store for the minion data cache.

       Memcache is an additional cache layer that keeps a limited amount of data fetched from the
       minion data cache for a limited period of time  in  memory  that  makes  cache  operations
       faster. It doesn't make much sense for the localfs cache driver but helps for more complex
       drivers like consul.

       For more details see memcache_expire_seconds and other memcache_* options  in  the  master
       config reverence.

   Docker Fixes
       • Docker  authentication  has  been  re-organized.  Instead of attempting a login for each
         push/pull (which was unnecessary), a new function called dockerng.login has been  added,
         which   authenticates   to   the   registry   and  adds  the  credential  token  to  the
         ~/.docker/config.json. After upgrading, if you have not already performed a docker login
         on  the  minion using the docker CLI, you will need to run dockerng.login to login. This
         only needs to be done once.

       • A bug in resolving the tag name for images in a  custom  registry  (where  a  colon  can
         appear  in  the  image name, e.g.  myregistry.com:5000/image:tagname) has been fixed. In
         previous releases, Salt would use the colon to separate the  tag  name  from  the  image
         name,  and  if  there  was  no  colon,  the default tag name of latest would be assumed.
         However, this caused custom registry images to be misidentified  when  no  explicit  tag
         name  was  passed  (e.g.  myregistry.com:5000/image).  To  work  around  this in earlier
         releases, simply specify the tag name.

   Salt-Cloud Fixes
       2016.11.0 added support for templating userdata  files  for  the  ec2  driver,  using  the
       renderer  option  from  the  master  config  file.  However, as the default renderer first
       evaluates jinja templating, followed by loading  the  data  as  a  YAML  dictionary,  this
       results in unpredictable results when userdata files are comprised of non-YAML data (which
       they generally are).

       2016.11.4 fixes this by only templating the userdata_file when it is explicitly configured
       to  do  so.  This  is  done by adding a new optional parameter to the cloud profile called
       userdata_template. This option is used in  the  same  way  as  the  template  argument  in
       file.managed states, it is simply set to the desired templating renderer:

          my-ec2-config:
            # Pass userdata to the instance to be created
            userdata_file: /etc/salt/my-userdata-file
            userdata_template: jinja

       If  no  userdata_template   option is set in the cloud profile, then salt-cloud will check
       for the presence of the master configuration parameter userdata_renderer. If this is  also
       not set, then no templating will be performed on the userdata_file.

       In  addition,  the  other  cloud  drivers which support setting a userdata_file (azurearm,
       nova, and openstack) have had templating support added to bring  them  to  feature  parity
       with the ec2 driver's implementation of the userdata_file option.

   Patched Packages
       Due  to  the  critical nature of issue issue #41230 we have decided to patch the 2016.11.5
       packages with PR #41244. This issue affects all calls to a salt-minion if there is an ipv6
       nameserver  set  on  the  minion's  host.  The patched packages on repo.saltstack.com will
       divert from the v2016.11.5 tag and pypi  packages  due  to  the  patches  applied  to  the
       packages.

           the  file  types  and  the  subdirectory is not a file. The second issue is related to
           permissions, if Salt is told to extract permissions (which is the  default)  then  the
           directory  and  files end up being unreadable since the permissions are not available.
           This change sets the permissions to what the default umask for the user  running  Salt
           is.

   Salt 2016.11.7 Release Notes
       Version 2016.11.7 is a bugfix release for 2016.11.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-12791 Maliciously crafted minion IDs can cause unwanted directory  traversals  on
       the Salt-master

       This  release corrects a flaw in minion ID validation which could allow certain minions to
       authenticate to a master despite not having  the  correct  credentials.   To  exploit  the
       vulnerability, an attacker must create a salt-minion with an ID containing characters that
       will cause a directory traversal. Credit  for  discovering  the  security  flaw  goes  to:
       Vernhk@qq.com

   Salt 2016.11.8 Release Notes

   Windows Changes
   pkg Execution Module`
       Significate changes (PR #43708 & #45390, damon-atkins) have been made to the pkg execution
       module.  Users  should  test  this  release  against their existing package sls definition
       files.

       • pkg.list_available no longer defaults to refreshing the winrepo meta database.

       • pkg.install without a version parameter no longer upgrades software if the  software  is
         already  installed.  Use pkg.install version=latest (or simply use a pkg.latest state to
         get the old behavior.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns multiple versions if software installed more than once.

       • pkg.list_pkgs now returns Not Found when the version is not found instead of (value  not
         set) which matches the contents of the sls definitions.

       • pkg.remove  will wait up to 3 seconds (normally about a second) to detect changes in the
         registry after removing software, improving reporting of version changes.

       • pkg.remove can remove latest software, if latest is defined in sls definition.

       • Documentation was update for the execution module to match the style  in  new  versions,
         some corrections as well.

       • All  install/remove  commands  are prefix with cmd.exe shell and cmdmod is called with a
         command line string instead of a  list.  Some  sls  files  in  saltstack/salt-winrepo-ng
         expected the commands to be prefixed with cmd.exe (i.e. the use of &).

       • Some execution module functions results, now behave more like their Unix/Linux versions.

   cmd Execution Module
       Due  to  a  difference  in  how  Python's  subprocess.Popen() spawns processes on Windows,
       passing the command as a list of arguments  can  result  in  problems.   This  is  because
       Windows'  CreateProcess  requires  the command to be passed as a single string. Therefore,
       subprocess will attempt to re-assemble the list of arguments into as string. Some  escaped
       characters  and  quotes  can  cause  the  resulting  string  to  be incorrectly-assembled,
       resulting in a failure to execute the command.

       Salt now deals with these cases by joining the list of arguments  correctly  and  ensuring
       that the command is passed to subprocess.Popen() as a string.

   Salt 2016.3.0 Release Notes - Codename Boron
   Known Issues
       WARNING:
          Some Salt Masters may need to apply a patch for Default Job Cache to prevent a possible
          crash

          An issue exists that prevents the Salt master from cleaning the default job cache. This
          issue can cause an overconsumption of resources resulting in  a  crash.  2016.3.0  Salt
          masters should apply the patch in PR #33555. This issue will be addressed in 2016.3.1.

       • issue  #33516:  When upgrading from 2015.8.10 to 2016.3.0 on centos7/redhat7 salt-minion
         must be restarted twice.

       • issue #33517: SPM does not work on amazon linux 2015 in 2016.3.0.

   Backwards-incompatible Changes
       • The default path for the extension_modules master config option has been changed.  Prior
         to  this  release,  the  location was a directory named extmods in the Salt cachedir. On
         most   platforms,    this    would    put    the    extension_modules    directory    in
         /var/cache/salt/extmods.   It  has  been  moved  one  directory  down,  into  the master
         cachedir. On most platforms, this is /var/cache/salt/master/extmods.  Most  users  won't
         have  to  worry about this, but those who have been manually placing custom runners into
         /var/cache/salt/extmods/runners, or outputters into /var/cache/salt/extmods/output, etc.
         will  be  affected  by  this.  To  transition,  it is recommended not to simply move the
         extmods directory into /var/cache/salt/master, but to copy the custom modules  into  the
         salt  fileserver  under  salt://_runners,  salt://_output,  etc. and sync them using the
         functions in the new saltutil runner.

       • The pkg.check_db function has been removed for yum/dnf.

   Core Changes
       • The onchanges requisite now fires if any watched state changes. issue #19592.

       • The ext_pillar functions must now accept a minion ID as the first argument.  This  stops
         the  deprecation  path  started in Salt 0.17.x. Before this minion ID first argument was
         introduced, the minion  ID  could  be  retrieved  accessing  __opts__['id']  losing  the
         reference  to  the  master  ID  initially  set  in  opts.  This  is  no longer the case,
         __opts__['id'] will be kept as the master ID.

       • Custom types can now be synced to the master using  the  new  saltutil  runner.  Before,
         these  needed  to  manually be placed under the extension_modules directory. This allows
         custom modules to easily be synced to the master to make them available  when  compiling
         Pillar  data.  Just  place  custom  runners into salt://_runners, custom outputters into
         salt://_output, etc. and use the functions from the saltutil runner to sync them.

       • The client_acl configuration options were renamed to publisher_acl.

       • Added a new --config-dump option (issue #26639).

       • TCP Transport presence events were updated to work with a NAT (PR #30629).

       • A minion_pillar_cache setting was added to save rendered pillar  data  to  cachedir  for
         later use when file_client is set to local (PR #30428).

       • Added  the  ability for binary data (such as a license key) to be distributed via pillar
         using the file.managed (issue #9569).

       • Scheduled jobs now include success and retcode (issue #24237).

       • The saltversioninfo grain was changed from a string to a list to enable  reading  values
         by index. (PR #30082).

       • A  pillar_merge_lists  option  was  added  to enable recursively merging pillar lists by
         aggregating them instead of replacing them (PR #30062).

       • Grain values reported by Debian 8 (jessie) when lsb-release is  installed  were  updated
         for consistency (PR #28649).

       • A  new  option for minions called master_tries has been added. This specifies the number
         of times a minion should attempt to contact a  master  to  attempt  a  connection.  This
         allows better handling of occasional master downtime in a multi-master topology.

       • The  default  directory for deploying the salt-thin tarball has changed for salt-ssh. It
         is now /var/tmp instead of /tmp. Users may also wish to delete any directories  in  /tmp
         ending with _salt/. (issue #32771)

   External Module Packaging
       Modules  may now be packaged via entry-points in setuptools. See external module packaging
       tutorial for more information.

   Cloud Changes
       • Refactored the OpenNebula driver and added numerous --function and --action commands  to
         enhance  Salt  support  for image, template, security group, virtual network and virtual
         machine management in OpenNebula.

       • Added execution/state modules to support the deployment of AWS cognito identity pools (‐
         PR #31094).

       • Added ability to set tags and listener policies on a AWS ELB (PR #27552).

   Platform Changes
       • Renamed  modules  related  to  macOS.  The following module filenames were changed.  The
         virtual name remained unchanged.

       • PR ##30558: renamed osxdesktop.py to mac_desktop.py

       • PR ##30557: renamed macports.py to mac_ports.py

       • PR ##30556: renamed darwin_sysctl.py to mac_sysctl.py

       • PR ##30555: renamed brew.py to mac_brew.py

       • PR ##30552: renamed darwin_pkgutil.py to mac_pkgutil.py

   Package Support
       • Ubuntu Xenial: Packages for  Ubuntu  Xenial  (16.04)  are  available  for  2016.3.0  and
         onwards.  See  repo.saltstack.com  for  more  information.  Note  that Xenial comes with
         Debian's packaged version of Salt 2015.8.8 and official repo.saltstack.com packages  are
         available for 2015.8 releases beginning with Salt 2015.8.11.

   Proxy Minion Changes
       The deprecated config option enumerate_proxy_minions has been removed.

       As  mentioned in earlier documentation, the add_proxymodule_to_opts configuration variable
       defaults to False in this release.  This means if you  have  proxymodules  or  other  code
       looking   in   __opts__['proxymodule']  you  will  need  to  set  this  variable  in  your
       /etc/salt/proxy file, or modify your code to use the __proxy__ injected variable.

       The __proxyenabled__ directive now only applies to grains and  proxy  modules  themselves.
       Standard  execution  modules  and  state  modules are not prevented from loading for proxy
       minions.

       Support has been added to Salt's loader allowing  custom  proxymodules  to  be  placed  in
       salt://_proxy.  Proxy minions that need these modules will need to be restarted to pick up
       any changes.  A corresponding utility function, saltutil.sync_proxymodules, has been added
       to sync these modules to minions.

       Enhancements  in  grains  processing  have  made  the  __proxyenabled__ directive somewhat
       redundant in dynamic grains code.  It is  still  required,  but  best  practices  for  the
       __virtual__  function  in  grains  files  have  changed.   It  is now recommended that the
       __virtual__ functions check to make sure they are being loaded for the correct  proxytype,
       example below:

          def __virtual__():
              """
              Only work on proxy
              """
              try:
                  if salt.utils.is_proxy() and __opts__["proxy"]["proxytype"] == "ssh_sample":
                      return __virtualname__
              except KeyError:
                  pass

              return False

       NOTE:
          salt.utils.is_proxy() has been renamed to salt.utils.platform.is_proxy as of the Oxygen
          release.

       The try/except block above exists because grains are processed very  early  in  the  proxy
       minion startup process, sometimes earlier than the proxy key in the __opts__ dictionary is
       populated.

       Grains are loaded so early  in  startup  that  no  dunder  dictionaries  are  present,  so
       __proxy__,  __salt__,  etc. are not available.  Custom grains located in /srv/salt/_grains
       and in the salt install grains directory can now take a single argument,  proxy,  that  is
       identical to __proxy__.  This enables patterns like

          def get_ip(proxy):
              """
              Ask the remote device what IP it has
              """
              return {"ip": proxy["proxymodulename.get_ip"]()}

       Then  the  grain  ip  will  contain  the  result  of  calling the get_ip() function in the
       proxymodule called proxymodulename.

       Proxy modules now benefit from including a function called initialized().   This  function
       should  return  True if the proxy's init() function has been successfully called.  This is
       needed to make grains processing easier.

       Finally, if there is a function called grains in the proxymodule, it will be  executed  on
       proxy-minion  startup and its contents will be merged with the rest of the proxy's grains.
       Since older proxy-minions might have used other methods to call such a  function  and  add
       its  results  to  grains,  this is config-gated by a new proxy configuration option called
       proxy_merge_grains_in_module.  This defaults to False in this release.  It will default to
       True  in  the  release after next.  The next release is codenamed Carbon, the following is
       Nitrogen.

       The example proxy minions rest_sample and ssh_sample have been updated  to  reflect  these
       changes.

   Syndic Updates
       A major performance and management issue was found and fixed in the syndic. This makes the
       Salt Syndic substantially more reliable and performant. Please make sure that  the  syndic
       and  the master of masters which syndics attach to are updated, otherwise the syndic fixes
       alone can cause minor performance issues with older  master  of  masters.   Please  update
       masters first, then syndics.  Minions do not need to be updated for this fix to work.

   Module Changesfile execution module: show_diff is deprecated in favor of show_changes. (PR #30988)

       • reg execution module:

         • Removed the following deprecated functions from the reg module (PR #30956):

           • read_key

           • set_key

           • create_key

           • delete_key

         • Removed force parameter from reg state module

         • Fixed virtual function in state

         • Improved error information for reg.delete_value function

       • jboss7  execution  module:  deployed function was decoupled from Artifactory by removing
         Artifactory-specific functionality.  Note that the  changes  in  some  of  the  function
         arguments break existing state files, see issue #30515 and PR #3080 for details.

       • pkg state module: The wait function was removed, the functionality was replaced with the
         onchanges requisite (PR #30297).

       • firewalld state module: A permanent argument was added  add_port.  Note  that  permanent
         defaults  to True, which changes previous behavior (PR #30275). A bind function was also
         added that allows binding zones to interfaces and sources (PR #29497).

       • journald beacon module: The event string was updated to include a tag. Note  this  might
         impact existing reactors based on this beacon.  (PR #30116).

       • postgres_privileges  state module: The default value of the prepend argument was changed
         from None to public.

       • zenoss execution module: The add_device function was updated with  a  default  value  of
         1000 for prod_state to match the documentation (PR #28924).

       • The  etcd execution module, state module, returner module, and util module were refactor
         (PR #28599). This refactor changes error returns for several functions  (primarily  edge
         cases):

         • get: Used to return '' on key-not-found. Now returns None.

         • set: Used to return '' on issues setting keys. Now returns None.

         • ls: Used to return {path: {}} on key-not-found. Now returns None.

         • Tree: Used to return {} on key-not-found. Now returns None.

       • smartos_virt execution module: Updated to use most of the new smartos_vmadm (PR #28284).

       • apache_conf  state module, apache_module state module, and apache_site state module: the
         enable and disable functions were renamed to enabled and disabled, respectively.  In  PR
         #33562, these functions were readded and properly deprecated and will be removed in Salt
         2017.7.0.  This fix will be available in 2016.3.1.  As a workaround, try

            apache_module.enable{{ 'd' if grains.saltversioninfo == [2016, 3, 0] else '' }}

   New Features
   Thorium - Provisional New Reactor
       The 2016.3 release introduces the new Thorium Reactor. This reactor is an experimental new
       feature  that  implements  a flow programming interface using the salt state system as the
       engine. This means that the Thorium reactor uses a classic state tree approach to create a
       reactor  that  can aggregate event data from multiple sources and make aggregate decisions
       about executing reactions.

       This feature is both experimental and provisional, it may  be  removed  and  APIs  may  be
       changed.  This  system  should be considered as ambitious as the Salt State System in that
       the scope of adding a programmable logic engine of this scale into the  event  systems  is
       non trivial.

       See Thorium Complex Reactor.

   Improved Mac OS Support
   Improved Solaris Support
       A  lot  of  work  was  done  to  improve  support  for SmartOS. This work also resulted in
       improvements for Solaris and illumos as SmartOS.

       • rewrite of vmadm module (SmartOS)

       • rewrite of imgadm module (SmartOS)

       • deprecation of virt module in favor of vmadm (SmartOS)

       • implemented smartos state (SmartOS)

       • improved zpool module add SmartOS, illumos and Solaris support

       • improved zfs module add SmartOS, illumos and Solaris support

       • implemented zpool state

       • implemented zfs state implemented solaris_system system module to provide better Solaris
         support (PR #30519)

       • other minor fixes to grains, localmod, ...

   Tornado Transport
       IMPORTANT:
          The  Tornado Transport wire protocol was changed in 2016.3, making it incompatible with
          2015.8 (PR #29339).

   Windows DSC Integration (Experiemental)
   Dimension Data Cloud Support
       A  SaltStack  Cloud  driver  for  Dimension  Data  Public  Cloud,  provides   the   driver
       functionality to service automation for any of the Dimension Data Public Cloud locations:

       • Deploy new virtual machines

       • List and query virtual machine images

       • Destroy and query virtual machines

       Documentation    of    the    Dimension   Data   SaltStack   integration   is   found   on
       developer.dimensiondata.com

   Minion Blackout
       During a blackout, minions will not execute any  remote  execution  commands,  except  for
       saltutil.refresh_pillar. Blackouts are enabled using a special pillar key, minion_blackout
       set to True.

       See Minion Blackout.

   Splunk Returner
       A Splunk Returner that uses HTTP Event Collector is now available (PR #30718).

   SQLCipher Pillar Module
       Support was added for retrieving  pillar  data  via  queries  to  SQLCiper  databases  (PR
       #29782).

   Known Issues
       issue #36055: Salt Cloud events (salt/cloud) are not generated on  the  master  event  bus
       when provisioning cloud systems.

       Bootstrap  Issue  #973:  python-futures is not installed when installing from a git tag on
       RedHat-based distributions. Python futures is needed when

       running Salt with the  TCP  transport.  This  is  fixed  on  the  develop  branch  of  the
       salt-bootstrap   repo   and   the  fix  will  be  included  in  the  upcoming  release  of
       salt-bootstrap, but is a bug in the bootstrap release that  ships  with  this  version  of
       Salt.  Please  see  the  salt-bootstrap  repo  for  more information on how to update your
       bootstrap version.

   Known Issues
       The Salt Minion  does  not  clean  up  files  in  /tmp  when  rendering  templates.   This
       potentially  results  in either running out of disk space or running out of inodes. Please
       see issue #37541 for more information. This bug was fixed with PR #37540,  which  will  be
       available in the 2016.3.5 release of Salt.

       The  release  of the bootstrap-salt.sh script that is included with 2016.3.4 release has a
       bug in it that fails to install salt correctly for git installs using tags in  the  2015.5
       branch.   This  bug  has  not  been  fixed  in  the salt-bootstrap repository yet, but the
       previous bootstrap release (v2016.08.16) does not contain this bug.

   Changes
       • The disk.wipe execution module function has been modified so that it correctly  wipes  a
         disk.

       • Add ability to clone from a snapshot to the VMWare salt-cloud driver.

       • Add ability to specify disk backing mode in the VMWare salt cloud profile.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2017-5192 local_batch client external authentication not respected

       The LocalClient.cmd_batch() method client does not accept external_auth credentials and so
       access to it from salt-api has been  removed  for  now.  This  vulnerability  allows  code
       execution  for  already-authenticated users and is only in effect when running salt-api as
       the root user.

       CVE-2017-5200 Salt-api allows arbitrary command execution  on  a  salt-master  via  Salt's
       ssh_client

       Users  of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole when
       both systems were enabled.

       We recommend everyone on the 2016.3 branch  upgrade  to  a  patched  release  as  soon  as
       possible.

   Improved Checksum Handling in file.managed, archive.extracted States
       When the source_hash argument for these states refers to a file containing checksums, Salt
       now looks for checksums matching the name of the source URI, as well  as  the  file  being
       managed.  Prior  releases  only  looked for checksums matching the filename being managed.
       Additionally, a new argument (source_hash_name) has been added, which allows the  user  to
       disambiguate  ambiguous  matches  when  more  than  one  matching checksum is found in the
       source_hash file.

       A more detailed explanation of  this  functionality  can  be  found  in  the  file.managed
       documentation, in the section for the new source_hash_name argument.

   Salt 2016.3.7 Release Notes
       Version 2016.3.7 is a bugfix release for 2016.3.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-12791 Maliciously crafted minion IDs can cause unwanted directory  traversals  on
       the Salt-master

       This  release corrects a flaw in minion ID validation which could allow certain minions to
       authenticate to a master despite not  having  the  correct  credentials.  To  exploit  the
       vulnerability, an attacker must create a salt-minion with an ID containing characters that
       will cause a directory traversal. Credit  for  discovering  the  security  flaw  goes  to:
       Vernhk@qq.com

   Salt 2016.3.8 Release Notes
       Version 2016.3.8 is a bugfix release for 2016.3.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2017-14695  Directory  traversal  vulnerability  in minion id validation in SaltStack.
       Allows remote minions with incorrect credentials to authenticate to a master via a crafted
       minion   ID.   Credit  for  discovering  the  security  flaw  goes  to:  Julian  Brost  (‐
       julian@0x4a42.net)

   Salt 2016.3.9 Release Notes
       Version 2016.3.9 is a bugfix release for 2016.3.0.

   Master Changes
       The following options have been added to the master config file:

       • allow_minion_key_revoke  -  This  option  controls whether a minion can request that the
         master revoke its key. When True, a minion can request a key revocation and  the  master
         will comply. If it is False, the key will not be revoked by the msater.

       • require_minion_sign_messages  -  This  requires  that minions cryptographically sign the
         messages they publish to  the  master.  If  minions  are  not  signing,  then  log  this
         information at loglevel INFO and drop the message without acting on it.

       • drop_messages_signature_fail  -  Drop messages from minions when their signatures do not
         validate. Note that when this option is False but require_minion_sign_messages is  True,
         minions MUST sign their messages, but the validity of their signatures is ignored.

       • minion_sign_messages  -  Causes  the  minion  to  cryptographically  sign the payload of
         messages it places on the event bus for the master. The payloads  are  signed  with  the
         minion's private key so the master can verify the signature with its public key.

       The  2015.8.0  feature  release  of Salt contains several major new features. As usual the
       release notes are not exhaustive and primarily include  the  most  notable  additions  and
       improvements.  Hundreds  of  bugs have been fixed and many modules have been substantially
       updated and added.

   New SaltStack Installation Repositories
       SaltStack now provides installation repositories for several platforms, with more to come.
       See the following links for instructions:

       • Red Hat / CentOS 5, 6, 7

       • Debian 8

       • Windows

   Send Event on State Completion
       A  fire_event  global  state  keyword  argument was added that allows any state to send an
       event upon completion. Useful for custom progress bars and checking in on long state runs.
       See fire_event.

   ZeroMQ socket monitoring
       If zmq_monitor is enabled, log all ZMQ events for socket monitoring purposes. Verbose, but
       useful.

   SPM (Salt Package Manager)
       Allows Salt formulas to be packaged for ease of deployment. See spm.

       NOTE:
          The spm executable was not included in the Debian or Ubuntu packages for  the  2015.8.0
          or the 2015.8.1 releases. This executable will be included in an upcoming release. As a
          workaround, copy the SPM script from the salt library installation into  /usr/local/bin
          or your local equivalent.

   Specify a Single Environment for Top Files
       A  new  default_top  option  was  added to load the state top file from a single, specific
       environment, rather than merging top  data  across  all  environments.  Additionally,  new
       top_file_merge_strategy  and  env_order  options were added for more control over top file
       merging. See The Top File.

   Tornado TCP Transport
       Implemented a pure-TCP transport, in addition to ZeroMQ and RAET. The new  transport  uses
       Tornado,  which  allows  Salt  to  use  a  standardized  set of libraries for asynchronous
       behavior, which should greatly improve reliability and performance.

       NOTE:
          Tornado is considered expiremental in this release. The  following  known  issues  were
          being investigated at the time of release:

          • TCP tests show performance degredation over time (issue #26051)

          • TCP  transport  stacktrace on windows minion: Future exception was never retrieved (‐
            issue #25718)

          • [freebsd] TCP transport not working in 2015.8.0rc3 (issue #26364)

   Proxy Minion Enhancements
       Proxy  Minions  have  undergone  a  significant  overhaul  in  2015.8,  see  Proxy  Minion
       Enhancements.

   Engines
       Salt engines are long-running, external processes that leverage Salt. See Salt Engines.

   Core Changes
       • Add system version info to versions_report, which appears in both salt --versions-report
         and  salt  '*'  test.versions_report.  Also  added  is   an   alias   test.versions   to
         test.versions_report. (issue #21906)

       • Add  colorized  console  logging  support.   This  is activated by using %(colorlevel)s,
         %(colorname)s, %(colorprocess)s, %(colormsg)s in log_fmt_console in the config file  for
         any of salt-master, salt-minion, and salt-cloud.

   Git Pillar
       The  git  external  pillar has been rewritten to bring it up to feature parity with gitfs.
       Support for pygit2 has been added, bringing with it the ability  to  access  authenticated
       repositories.

       Using  the  new features will require updates to the git ext_pillar configuration, further
       details can be found in the pillar.git_pillar docs.

   Salt Cloud Improvements
       • Pricing data from several cloud providers (GCE, DigitalOcean, SoftLayer_HW, EC2)

       • All cloud providers now use standardized bootstrapping code.

       • Modified the Linode Salt Cloud driver to use Linode's native API instead of depending on
         apache-libcloud or linode-python.

   Salt Cloud Changes
       • Changed  the  default behavior of rename_on_destroy to be set to True in the EC2 and AWS
         drivers.

       • Changed the default behavior of the EC2 and AWS drivers to always  check  for  duplicate
         names  of  VMs  before  trying  to create a new VM. Will now throw an error similarly to
         other salt-cloud drivers when trying to create a VM of the same name, even if the VM  is
         in the terminated state.

       • When  querying  for  VMs in digital_ocean.py, the number of VMs to include in a page was
         changed from 20 (default)  to  200  to  reduce  the  number  of  API  calls  to  Digital
         Ocean.Ocean.

   State and Execution Module Improvements
       • New and improved Docker state and execution modules (state and execution module).

   Git State and Execution Modules Rewritten
       The git state and execution modules have gone through an extensive overhaul.

   Changes in the git.latest State
       • The  branch argument has been added, allowing for a custom branch name to be used in the
         local checkout maintained by the git.latest state.  This  can  be  helpful  in  avoiding
         ambiguous  refs  in  the  local  checkout  when a tag is used as the rev argument. If no
         branch is specified, then the state uses the value of rev as the branch name.

       • The always_fetch argument no longer has any effect, and will  be  removed  in  a  future
         release.  The  state  now  detects whether or not a fetch is needed based on comparisons
         made between the local and remote repositories.

       • The force_fetch argument has been added  to  force  a  fetch  if  the  fetch  is  not  a
         fast-forward  (for  instance, if someone has done a reset and force-pushed to the remote
         repository).

       • The remote_name argument has been deprecated and renamed to remote.

       • The force argument has been deprecated and renamed to force_clone  to  reduce  ambiguity
         with the other "force" arguments.

       • Using SHA1 hashes (full or shortened) in the rev argument is now properly supported.

       • Non-fast-forward merges are now detected before the repository is updated, and the state
         will not update the repository if the change is  not  a  fast-forward.  Non-fast-forward
         updates must be overridden with the force_reset argument. If force_reset is set to True,
         the state will only reset the repository if it cannot  be  fast-forwarded.  This  is  in
         contrast  to  the  earlier behavior, in which a hard-reset would be performed every time
         the state was run if force_reset was set to True.

       • A git pull is no longer performed by this state, dropped in favor of  a  fetch-and-merge
         (or fetch-and-reset) workflow.

   git.config_unset state added
       This state allows for configuration values (or entire keys) to be unset. See here for more
       information and example SLS.

   git.config State Renamed to git.config_set
       To reduce confusion after the addition of git.config_unset, the git.config state has  been
       renamed  to git.config_set. The old config.get name will still work for a couple releases,
       allowing time for SLS files to be updated.

       In addition, this state now supports managing multivar git configuration values. See  here
       for more information and example SLS.

   Initial Support for Git Worktrees in Execution Module
       Several  functions  have been added to the execution module to manage worktrees (a feature
       new to Git 2.5.0). State support does not exist yet, but will follow soon.

   New Functions in Git Execution Modulegit.config_get_regexpgit.config_unsetgit.is_worktreegit.list_branchesgit.list_tagsgit.list_worktreesgit.merge_basegit.merge_treegit.rev_parsegit.versiongit.worktree_rmgit.worktree_addgit.worktree_prune

   Changes to Functions in Git Execution Module
   git.add--verbose is now implied when running the git add command, to  provide  a  list  of  the
         files added in the return data.

   git.archive
       • Now  returns  True  when the git archive command was successful, and otherwise raises an
         error.

       • The overwrite argument has  been  added  to  prevent  an  existing  archive  from  being
         overwritten by this function.

       • The fmt argument has been deprecated and renamed to format.

       • Trailing  slash  no longer implied in prefix argument, must be included if this argument
         is passed.

   git.checkout
       • The rev argument is now optional when using -b or -B in opts, allowing for a  branch  to
         be created (or reset) using HEAD as the starting point.

   git.clone
       • The  name argument has been added to specify the name of the directory in which to clone
         the repository. If this option is specified, then the clone  will  be  made  within  the
         directory specified by the cwd, instead of at that location.

       • The repository argument has been deprecated and renamed to url.

   git.config_get
       • The setting_name argument has been deprecated and renamed to key.

       • The global argument has been added, to query the global git configuration

       • The  all  argument  has been added to return a list of all values for the specified key,
         allowing for all values in a multivar to be returned.

       • The cwd argument is now optional if global is set to True

   git.config_set
       • The value(s) of the key being set are now returned

       • The setting_name argument has been deprecated and renamed to key.

       • The setting_value argument has been deprecated and renamed to value.

       • The is_global argument has been deprecated and renamed to global.

       • The multivar argument has been added to  specify  a  list  of  values  to  set  for  the
         specified key. The value argument is not compatible with multivar.

       • The  add  argument has been added to add a value to a key (this essentially just adds an
         --add to the git config command that is run to set the value).

   git.fetch
       • The force argument has been added to force the fetch when it is not a fast-forward. This
         could  have  been  achieved  in  previous Salt versions by including --force in the opts
         argument, this argument is just  for  convenience  and  to  match  the  usage  of  other
         functions with force arguments.

       • The  refspecs  argument  has been added to allow for one or more refspecs to be provided
         which override the one(s) specified by the  remote.remote_name.fetch  git  configuration
         option.

   git.ls_remote
       • The repository argument has been deprecated and renamed to remote.

       • The branch argument has been deprecated and renamed to ref.

       • The opts argument has been added to allow for additional CLI options to be passed to the
         git ls-remote command.

   git.merge
       • The branch argument has been deprecated and renamed to rev.

   git.status
       • Return data has been changed from a list of lists to a dictionary  containing  lists  of
         files in the modified, added, deleted, and untracked states.

   git.submodule
       • Added  the  command  argument  to  allow  for  operations other than update to be run on
         submodules, and deprecated the init argument. To do a submodule  update  with  init=True
         moving forward, use command=update opts='--init'.

       • OpenStack Glance API V2 execution module

       • Amazon VPC state module

       • RallyDev execution module

       • BambooHR execution module

       • Stormpath execution, state modules

       • Remove unused argument timeout in jboss7.status.

       • Deprecate enabled argument in pkgrepo.managed in favor of disabled.

       • Archive  module  changes:  In  the  archive.tar  and archive.cmd_unzip module functions,
         remove the arbitrary prefixing of the options string with -. An options string beginning
         with  a  --long-option, would have uncharacteristically needed its first - removed under
         the former scheme.  Also, tar will parse its options differently if  short  options  are
         used  with  or  without  a  preceding  -,  so  it is better to not confuse the user into
         thinking they're using the non- - format, when really they are using the with- - format.

       • Added __states__ to state modules, for cross-calling states. This enables using existing
         states when writing custom states. See cross calling states.

   Windows Improvements
       • Enhanced  the  windows  minion  silent  installation  with  command  line  parameters to
         configure the salt master and minion name. See Silent Installer Options.

       • Improved user management with additional capabilities in the user module for Windows.

       • Improved patch management with a new module for managing windows updates (win_wua).

       • Turned on multi-processing by default for windows in minion configuration.

   Windows Software Repo Changes
       A next-generation (ng) windows software repo is available for 2015.8.0 and later  minions.
       When  using  this  new  repository,  the  repo cache is compiled on the Salt Minion, which
       enables pillar, grains and other things to be available during compilation time.

       See the Windows Software Repository documentation for more information.

   Changes to legacy Windows repository
       If you have pre 2015.8 Windows minions connecting to your  2015.8  Salt  master,  you  can
       continue to use the legacy Windows repository for these Salt minions.

       If  you  were previously using this repository and have customized settings, be aware that
       several config options have been renamed to make their naming more consistent.

       See the Windows Software Repository documentation for more information.

   Win System Module
       The unit of the timeout parameter in the system.halt, system.poweroff, system.reboot,  and
       system.shutdown  functions  has  been  changed  from  seconds  to  minutes  in order to be
       consistent with the linux timeout setting. (issue #24411)  Optionally,  the  unit  can  be
       reverted to seconds by specifying in_seconds=True.

   Other Improvements
       • Sanitize sensitive fields in http.query

       • Allow authorization to be read from Django and eauth

       • Add templating to SMTP returner

       • New REST module for SDB

       • Added rest_timeout config option and timeout argument to jobs api call

       • Provide config options for Raet lane and road buffer count. (Useful for BSD kernels)

       • Implemented ZeroMQ socket monitor for master and minion

       • Add end time to master job cache for jobs (optional, off by default)

       • Tornado is now the default backend for http.request

       • Support pillarenv selection as it's done for saltenv

       • salt  was  updated  to  use python-crypto version 2.6.1, which removes the dependency on
         python-m2crypto.

   Deprecations
       • The digital_ocean.py Salt Cloud driver was removed in favor of  the  digital_ocean_v2.py
         driver  as  DigitalOcean  has  removed  support  for APIv1.  The digital_ocean_v2.py was
         renamed to digital_ocean.py and supports DigitalOcean's APIv2.

       • The vsphere.py Salt Cloud driver has been deprecated in favor of the vmware.py driver.

       • The openstack.py Salt Cloud driver has been deprecated in favor of the nova.py driver.

       • The use of provider in Salt Cloud provider  files  to  define  cloud  drivers  has  been
         deprecated  in favor of using driver. Both terms will work until the 2017.7.0 release of
         Salt. Example provider file:

          my-ec2-cloud-config:
            id: 'HJGRYCILJLKJYG'
            key: 'kdjgfsgm;woormgl/aserigjksjdhasdfgn'
            private_key: /etc/salt/my_test_key.pem
            keyname: my_test_key
            securitygroup: default
            driver: ec2

       • The use of lock has been deprecated and from salt.utils.fopen.  salt.utils.flopen should
         be used instead.

       • The  following  args  have  been deprecated from the rabbitmq_vhost.present state: user,
         owner, conf, write, read, and runas.

       • The use of runas has been deprecated from the rabbitmq_vhost.absent state.

       • Support for output in mine.get was removed. --out should be used instead.

       • The use of delim was removed from the following functions in the match execution module:
         pillar_pcre, pillar, grain_pcre,

   Security Fixes

   Ubuntu 16.04 Packages
       SaltStack is now providing official Salt 2015.8 packages for Ubuntu 16.04.

   Returner Changes
       • Any returner which implements a save_load function is now required to accept  a  minions
         keyword argument. All returners which ship with Salt have been modified to do so.

   New Master Configuration Parameterrotate_aes_key - if True, causes Salt to generate a new AES key whenever a minion key is
         deleted. This eliminates the chance that a deleted minion could continue to eavesdrop on
         communications with the master if it continues to run after its key is deleted.

   Salt 2015.8.13 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.13 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2017-5192 local_batch client external authentication not respected

       The LocalClient.cmd_batch() method client does not accept external_auth credentials and so
       access  to  it  from  salt-api  has  been  removed for now. This vulnerability allows code
       execution for already-authenticated users and is only in effect when running  salt-api  as
       the root user.

       CVE-2017-5200  Salt-api  allows  arbitrary  command  execution on a salt-master via Salt's
       ssh_client

       Users of Salt-API and salt-ssh could execute a command on the salt master via a hole  when
       both systems were enabled.

       We  recommend  everyone  on  the  2015.8  branch  upgrade  to a patched release as soon as
       possible.

   Salt 2015.8.2 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.2 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

       IMPORTANT:
          A significant orchestrate issue (issue  ##29110)  was  discovered  during  the  release
          process  of  2015.8.2,  so  it  has  not been officially released.  Please use 2015.8.3

   Security Fix
       CVE-2015-8034 Saving state.sls cache data to disk with insecure permissions

       This  affects users of the state.sls function. The state run cache on the minion was being
       created with incorrect permissions. This file could  potentially  contain  sensitive  data
       that  was  inserted  via jinja into the state SLS files. The permissions for this file are
       now being set correctly. Thanks to zmalone for bringing this issue to our attention.

   Known Issues*_in requisites (issue #30820)

         This issue affects all users targeting an explicit - name: <name> with a  _in  requisite
         (such  as  watch_in  or  require_in).  If  you  are  not  using  explicit - name: <name>
         arguments, are targeting with the state ID instead of the name, or  are  not  using  _in
         requisites, then you should be safe to upgrade to 2015.8.4.

         This issue is resolved in the 2015.8.5 release.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2016-1866  Improper  handling  of  clear messages on the minion, which could result in
       executing commands not sent by the master.

       This issue affects only the 2015.8.x releases of Salt. In order for  an  attacker  to  use
       this  attack  vector,  they  would  have to execute a successful attack on an existing TCP
       connection between minion and master on the pub  port.  It  does  not  allow  an  external
       attacker  to  obtain the shared secret or decrypt any encrypted traffic between minion and
       master. Thank you to Sebastian Krahmer <krahmer@suse.com> for bringing this issue  to  our
       attention.

       We recommend everyone upgrade to 2015.8.4 as soon as possible.

   Core Changes
       • Support for IAM roles added to S3 module

       • Added option mock=True for state.sls and state.highstate. This allows the state compiler
         to process sls data in a state run without actually calling the  state  functions,  thus
         providing  feedback  on  the validity of the arguments used for the functions beyond the
         preprocessing validation provided by state.show_sls (issue #30118 and issue #30189).

            salt '*' state.sls core,edit.vim mock=True
            salt '*' state.highstate mock=True
            salt '*' state.apply edit.vim mock=True

   Salt 2015.8.5 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.5 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

       IMPORTANT:
          About this Release Salt 2015.8.5 is identical to the 2015.8.4 release with the addition
          of a fix for issue #30820, fixed by PR #30833. See here for the 2015.8.4 release notes.

   Known Issue in boto_* execution modules
       This release contains an issue that causes the  boto_*  execution  modules  to  display  a
       __salt__  not  defined  error  (issue  #30300).  This  issue  will be fixed in an upcoming
       release, but can be manually resolved by completing the following:

       1. Download the boto_* execution modules that you would like to  update  from  the  2015.8
          branch  of  Salt.  A  complete  list  of  affected modules with the specific changes is
          available in :pull`30867`.

          A simple way to get the updated modules is to download a zip file of the 2015.8  branch
          from GitHub. The updated modules are in the salt\modules directory.

       2. Place the boto_* modules into salt://_modules.

       3. Run the following command to sync these modules to all Salt minions:

             salt '*' saltutil.sync_modules

   Salt 2015.8.7 Release Notes
       Version 2015.8.7 is a bugfix release for 2015.8.0.

       NOTE:
          Salt  2015.8.4,  2015.8.5,  and 2015.8.7 were all released within a short period due to
          regressions found soon after the releases of 2015.8.4 and 2015.8.5. See  here  for  the
          2015.8.4 release notes, and here for the 2015.8.5 release notes.

   Change to Epoch Support for YUM/DNF
       For  pkg.installed states, on Linux distributions which use yum/dnf, packages which have a
       non-zero epoch in the version number now require this epoch to be included when specifying
       an exact version for a package. For example:

          vim-enhanced:
            pkg.installed:
              - version: 2:7.4.160-1.el7

       The  pkg.latest_version  and  pkg.list_repo_pkgs  functions can be used to get the correct
       version string to use, as they will now contain the epoch when it is non-zero.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2016-3176 Insecure configuration of PAM external authentication service

       This  issue  affects  all  Salt  versions  prior  to  2015.8.8/2015.5.10 when PAM external
       authentication is enabled. This issue involves passing an alternative  PAM  authentication
       service  with  a  command that is sent to LocalClient, enabling the attacker to bypass the
       configured authentication service.  Thank  you  to  Dylan  Frese  <dmfrese@gmail.com>  for
       bringing this issue to our attention.

       This  update  defines  the  PAM  eAuth service that users authenticate against in the Salt
       Master configuration.

   Read Before Upgrading Debian 7 (Wheezy) from 2015.8.7 to 2015.8.8
       Before you upgrade from 2015.8.7 on Debian 7, you  must  run  the  following  commands  to
       remove previous packages:

          sudo apt-get remove python-pycrypto
          sudo apt-get remove python-apache-libcloud

       Note that python-pycrypto will likely remove python-apache-libcloud, so the second command
       might not be necessary. These have been replaced by python-crypto and python-libcloud with
       ~bpo70+1 moniker.

   Read Before Upgrading Debian 8 (Jessie) from Salt Versions Earlier than 2015.8.4
       Salt systemd service files are missing the following statement in these versions:

          [Service]
          KillMode=process

       This statement must be added to successfully upgrade on these earlier versions of Salt.

           this is problematic and results in exceptions when a state function is  run  from  the

   Important Post-Upgrade Instructions for Linux Mint
       As  a result of some upstream changes, the os grain on Mint Linux is now being detected as
       LinuxMint (issue #33295). Run the following command after you upgrade to 2015.8.9 to reset
       the os grain to Mint and the os_family grain to Debian:

          salt -G 'os:LinuxMint' grains.setvals "{'os': 'Mint', 'os_family': 'Debian'}"

   Salt 2015.5.0 Release Notes - Codename Lithium
       The  2015.5.0 feature release of Salt is focused on hardening Salt and mostly on improving
       existing systems. A few major additions are present, primarily the new Beacon system. Most
       enhancements have been focused around improving existing features and interfaces.

       As  usual  the  release  notes  are  not exhaustive and primarily include the most notable
       additions and improvements. Hundreds of bugs have been fixed and many  modules  have  been
       substantially updated and added.

       WARNING:
          In order to fix potential shell injection vulnerabilities in salt modules, a change has
          been made to  the  various  cmd  module  functions.  These  functions  now  default  to
          python_shell=False, which means that the commands will not be sent to an actual shell.

          The  largest  side  effect  of this change is that "shellisms", such as pipes, will not
          work by default. The modules shipped with salt have been audited to fix any issues that
          might  have  arisen  from  this  change.   Additionally,  the cmd state module has been
          unaffected, and use of cmd.run in jinja is also unaffected. cmd.run calls  on  the  CLI
          will also allow shellisms.

          However,  custom  execution modules which use shellisms in cmd calls will break, unless
          you pass python_shell=True to these calls.

          As a temporary workaround, you can set  cmd_safe:  False  in  your  minion  and  master
          configs.  This will revert the default, but is also less secure, as it will allow shell
          injection vulnerabilities to be written in custom code. We recommend you only set  this
          setting  for  as  long  as  it  takes to resolve these issues in your custom code, then
          remove the override.

       NOTE:
          Starting in this version of salt, pillar_opts defaults to False instead of  True.  This
          means  that  master  opts  will  not  be  present  in  minion  pillar, and as a result,
          config.get calls will not include master opts.

          We recommend pillar is used for configuration options which need  to  make  it  to  the
          minion.

   Beacons
       The  beacon  system  allows  the  minion  to  hook  into  system processes and continually
       translate external events into the salt event bus. The primary  example  of  this  is  the
       inotify  beacon.  This beacon uses inotify to watch configured files or directories on the
       minion for changes, creation, deletion etc.

       This allows for the changes to be sent up to the master where the reactor can  respond  to
       changes.

   Sudo Minion Settings
       It  is  now  possible  to  run the minion as a non-root user and for the minion to execute
       commands via sudo. Simply add sudo_user: root to the minion config, run the  minion  as  a
       non-root user and grant that user sudo rights to execute salt-call.

   Lazy Loader
       The  Lazy Loader is a significant overhaul of Salt's module loader system. The Lazy Loader
       will lazily load modules on access instead of  all  on  start.  In  addition  to  a  major
       performance  improvement,  this  "sandboxes"  modules  so  a bad/broken import of a single
       module will only affect jobs that require accessing the broken module. (:issue: 20274)

   Enhanced Active Directory Support
       The eauth system for LDAP has been extended to support Microsoft Active Directory  out  of
       the box. This includes Active Directory and LDAP group support for eauth.

   Salt LXC Enhancements
       The LXC systems have been overhauled to be more consistent and to fix many bugs.

       This  overhaul  makes  using  LXC  with  Salt  much  easier and substantially improves the
       underlying capabilities of Salt's LXC integration.

   Salt SSH
       • Additional configuration options and command line flags have been added to configure the
         scan roster on the fly

       • Added support for state.single in salt-ssh

       • Added support for publish.publish, publish.full_data, and publish.runner in salt-ssh

       • Added support for mine.get in salt-ssh

   New Windows Installer
       The  new  Windows  installer  changes how Salt is installed on Windows.  The old installer
       used bbfreeze to create an isolated python environment to execute  in.  This  made  adding
       modules  and  python libraries difficult. The new installer sets up a more flexible python
       environment making it easy to manage the python install and add python modules.

       Instead of frozen packages, a full python implementation  resides  in  the  bin  directory
       (C:\salt\bin).  By  executing  pip  or  easy_install  from  within  the  Scripts directory
       (C:\salt\bin\Scripts) you can install any additional python modules you may need for  your
       custom environment.

       The  .exe's  that  once  resided  at  the  root  of the salt directory (C:\salt) have been
       replaced by .bat files and should  function  the  same  way  as  the  .exe's  in  previous
       versions.

       The  new Windows Installer will not replace the minion config file and key if they already
       exist on the target system. Only the salt program files will be replaced. C:\salt\conf and
       C:\salt\var will remain unchanged.

   Removed Requests Dependency
       The  hard  dependency on the requests library has been removed. Requests is still required
       by a number of cloud modules but is no longer required for normal Salt operations.

       This removal fixes issues that were introduced with requests  and  salt-ssh,  as  well  as
       issues  users  experienced  from  the  many  different  packaging methods used by requests
       package maintainers.

   Python 3 Updates
       While Salt does not YET run on Python 3 it has been updated to INSTALL on Python 3, taking
       us  one  step closer. What remains is getting the test suite to the point where it can run
       on Python 3 so that we can verify compatibility.

   RAET Additions
       The RAET support continues to improve. RAET now supports multi-master and  many  bugs  and
       performance issues have been fixed. RAET is much closer to being a first class citizen.

   Modified File Detection
       A number of functions have been added to the RPM-based package managers to detect and diff
       files that are modified from the original package installs.  This can be found in the  new
       pkg.modified functions.

   Reactor Update
       Fix  an  infinite  recursion  problem  for  runner/wheel  reactor jobs by passing a "user"
       (Reactor) to all jobs that the reactor starts. The reactor skips  all  events  created  by
       that  username  --  thereby only reacting to events not caused by itself. Because of this,
       runner and wheel executions from the runner will have user "Reactor" in the job cache.

   Misc Fixes/Additions
       • SDB driver for etcd. (:issue: 22043)

       • Add only_upgrade argument to apt-based pkg.install to only install a package version  if
         the package is already installed. (Great for security updates!)

       • Joyent now requires a keyname to be specified in the provider configuration. This change
         was necessitated upstream by the 7.0+ API.

       • Add args argument to cmd.script_retcode to match cmd.script in the cmd module.  (:issue:
         21122)

       • Fixed  bug  where TCP keepalive was not being sent on the defined interval on the return
         port (4506) from minion to master. (:issue: 21465)

       • LocalClient may now optionally raise SaltClientError exceptions.  If  using  this  class
         directly, checking for and handling this exception is recommended.  (:issue: 21501)

       • The SAuth object is now a singleton, meaning authentication state is global (per master)
         on each minion. This reduces sign-ins of minions from 3->1 per startup.

       • Nested outputter has been optimized, it is now much faster.

       • Extensive fileserver backend updates.

   Deprecations
       • Removed parameter keyword argument from eselect.exec_action execution module.

       • Removed runas parameter from the following pip`  execution  module  functions:  install,
         uninstall,  freeze,  list_, list_upgrades, upgrade_available, upgrade. Please migrate to
         user.

       • Removed runas parameter from  the  following  pip  state  module  functions:  installed,
         removed, uptodate . Please migrate to user.

       • Removed  quiet  option  from  all  functions  in  cmdmod  execution  module.  Please use
         output_loglevel=quiet instead.

       • Removed parameter argument from eselect.set_ state. Please migrate  to  module_parameter
         or action_parameter.

       • The salt_events table schema has changed to include an additional field called master_id
         to distinguish between  events  flowing  into  a  database  from  multiple  masters.  If
         event_return  is enabled in the master config, the database schema must first be updated
         to add the master_id field.  This alteration can be accomplished as follows:
            ALTER TABLE salt_events ADD master_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL;

   Known Issues
       • In multi-master mode, a minion may become temporarily unresponsive if modules or pillars
         are  refreshed  at  the same time that one or more masters are down.  This can be worked
         around by setting 'auth_timeout' and 'auth_tries' down to shorter periods.

   Salt 2015.5.10 Release Notes
       release
              2015-03-22

       Version 2015.5.10 is a bugfix release for 2015.5.0.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2016-3176 Insecure configuration of PAM external authentication service

       This  issue  affects  all  Salt  versions  prior  to  2015.8.8/2015.5.10 when PAM external
       authentication is enabled. This issue involves passing an alternative  PAM  authentication
       service  with  a  command that is sent to LocalClient, enabling the attacker to bypass the
       configured authentication service.  Thank  you  to  Dylan  Frese  <dmfrese@gmail.com>  for
       bringing this issue to our attention.

       This  update  defines  the  PAM  eAuth service that users authenticate against in the Salt
       Master configuration.

       No additional fixes are included in this release.

   Read Before Upgrading Debian 8 (Jessie) from Salt Versions Earlier than 2015.5.9
       Salt systemd service files are missing the following statement in these versions:

          [Service]
          KillMode=process

       This statement must be added to successfully upgrade on these earlier versions of Salt.

   Bug Fixes
       • The cron.present state now correctly defaults to state ID as identifier.

   Salt-Cloud Changes
       • When querying for VMs in the digital_ocean_v2 cloud driver, the number of VMs to include
         in a page was changed from 20 (default) to 200 to reduce the  number  of  API  calls  to
         Digital Ocean.

       • The  vmware  salt-cloud  driver  was  back-ported  from  the develop branch in order for
         installations of Salt that are older than 2015.8.0 to be able to use the  vmware  driver
         without stack-tracing on various deprecation paths that were implemented in the 2015.8.0
         release.

   Security Fixes
       CVE-2015-6941  The  Windows  user  module and salt-cloud display passwords in log when log
       level is set to debug or more verbose.

       For  the  Windows  user  module,  the  password  is   now   replaced   with   the   string
       XXX-REDACTED-XXX.

       For   salt-cloud,   debug  logging  no  longer  displays  win_password  and  sudo_password
       authentication credentials.

       CVE-2015-6918 Git state/execution modules log HTTPS auth credentials when log level is set
       to debug or more verbose.

       These  credentials  are now replaced with REDACTED in the debug output.  Thanks to Andreas
       Stieger <asteiger@suse.com> for bringing this to our attention.

   Security Fix
       CVE-2015-8034 Saving state.sls cache data to disk with insecure permissions

       This affects users of the state.sls function. The state run cache on the minion was  being
       created  with  incorrect  permissions.  This file could potentially contain sensitive data
       that was inserted via jinja into the state SLS files. The permissions for  this  file  are
       now being set correctly. Thanks to zmalone for bringing this issue to our attention.

   Salt 2014.7.0 Release Notes - Codename Helium
       This release is the largest Salt release ever, with more features  and  commits  then  any
       previous  release of Salt. Everything from the new RAET transport to major updates in Salt
       Cloud and the merging of Salt API into the main project.

       IMPORTANT:
          The Fedora/RHEL/CentOS salt-master package has been  modified  for  this  release.  The
          following components of Salt have been broken out and placed into their own packages:

          • salt-syndic

          • salt-cloud

          • salt-ssh

          When  the  salt-master  package is upgraded, these components will be removed, and they
          will need to be manually installed.

       IMPORTANT:
          Compound/pillar matching have been  temporarily  disabled  for  the  mine  and  publish
          modules  for  this release due to the possibility of inferring pillar data using pillar
          glob matching. A proper fix is now in the 2014.7 branch and scheduled for the  2014.7.1
          release,  and  compound matching and non-globbing pillar matching will be re-enabled at
          that point.

          Compound and pillar matching for normal salt commands are unaffected.

   New Transport!
   RAET Transport Option
       This has been a HUGE amount of work, but the beta release of Salt with RAET  is  ready  to
       go.  RAET  is  a  reliable queuing transport system that has been developed in partnership
       with a number of large enterprises to give Salt an alternative to ZeroMQ and a way to  get
       Salt  to scale well beyond tens of thousands of servers. Unlike ZeroMQ, RAET is completely
       asynchronous in every aspect of its operation  and  has  been  developed  using  the  flow
       programming  paradigm.  This  allows  for many new capabilities to be added to Salt in the
       upcoming releases.

       Please keep in mind that this is a beta release of RAET and we hope for bugs to be  worked
       out, performance to be better realized and more in the 2015.5.0 release.

       Simply  stated,  users  running Salt with RAET should expect some hiccups as we hammer out
       the update. This is a BETA release of Salt RAET.

   Salt SSH Enhancements
       Salt SSH has just entered a new league, with substantial updates and improvements to  make
       salt-ssh more reliable and easier then ever! From new features like the ansible roster and
       fileserver backends to the new pypi salt-ssh installer to lowered  deps  and  a  swath  of
       bugfixes, salt-ssh is basically reborn!

   Install salt-ssh Using pip
       Salt-ssh is now pip-installable!

       https://pypi.org/project/salt-ssh/

       Pip  will  bring  in  all of the required deps, and while some deps are compiled, they all
       include pure python implementations, meaning that any compile errors which may be seen can
       be safely ignored.

          pip install salt-ssh

   Fileserver Backends
       Salt-ssh  can now use the salt fileserver backend system. This allows for the gitfs, hgfs,
       s3, and many more ways to centrally store states to be easily  used  with  salt-ssh.  This
       also allows for a distributed team to easily use a centralized source.

   Saltfile Support
       The  new  saltfile  system  makes  it  easy  to  have  a  user  specific  custom  extended
       configuration.

   Ext Pillar
       Salt-ssh can now use the external pillar  system.  Making  it  easier  then  ever  to  use
       salt-ssh with teams.

   No More sshpass
       Thanks  to  the enhancements in the salt vt system, salt-ssh no longer requires sshpass to
       send passwords to ssh. This also makes the manipulation of ssh  calls  substantially  more
       flexible, allowing for intercepting ssh calls in a much more fluid way.

   Pure Python Shim
       The  salt-ssh  call  originally  used a shell script to discover what version of python to
       execute with and determine the state of the ssh code deployment.  This  shell  script  has
       been  replaced with a pure python version making it easy to increase the capability of the
       code deployment  without  causing  platform  inconsistency  issues  with  different  shell
       interpreters.

   Custom Module Delivery
       Custom  modules  are now seamlessly delivered. This makes the deployment of custom grains,
       states, execution modules and returners a seamless process.

   CP Module Support
       Salt-ssh now makes simple file transfers easier then ever! The cp module allows for  files
       to be conveniently sent from the salt fileserver system down to systems.

   More Thin Directory Options
       Salt  ssh  functions by copying a subset of the salt code, or salt thin down to the target
       system. In the past this was  always  transferred  to  /tmp/.salt  and  cached  there  for
       subsequent commands.

       Now,  salt  thin  can  be sent to a random directory and removed when the call is complete
       with the -W option. The new -W option still uses a static location but will clean up  that
       location when finished.

       The  default  salt  thin  location is now user defined, allowing multiple users to cleanly
       access the same systems.

   State System Enhancements
   New Imperative State Keyword Listen
       The new listen and listen_in keywords allow for completely imperative  states  by  calling
       the mod_watch() routine after all states have run instead of re-ordering the states.

   Mod Aggregate Runtime Manipulator
       The  new mod_aggregate system allows for the state system to rewrite the state data during
       execution. This allows for state definitions to be aggregated dynamically at runtime.

       The best example is found in the pkg state. If mod_aggregate is turned on, then  when  the
       first pkg state is reached, the state system will scan all of the other running states for
       pkg states and take all other packages set for install and install them all at once in the
       first pkg state.

       These  runtime  modifications  make  it  easy  to run groups of states together. In future
       versions, we hope to fill  out  the  mod_aggregate  system  to  build  in  more  and  more
       optimizations.

       For more documentation on mod_aggregate, see the documentation.

   New Requisites: onchanges and onfail
       The new onchanges and onchanges_in requisites make a state apply only if there are changes
       in the required state. This is useful to execute post  hooks  after  changes  occur  on  a
       system.

       The  other  new requisites, onfail, and onfail_in, allow for a state to run in reaction to
       the failure of another state.

       For more information about these new requisites, see the requisites documentation.

   Global onlyif and unless
       The onlyif and unless options can now be used for any state declaration.

   Use names to expand and override values
       The names declaration in Salt's state system  can  now  override  or  add  values  to  the
       expanded data structure. For example:

          my_users:
            user.present:
              - names:
                - larry
                - curly
                - moe:
                  - shell: /bin/zsh
                  - groups:
                    - wheel
              - shell: /bin/bash

   Major Features
   Scheduler Additions
       The  Salt  scheduler  system  has  received  MAJOR  enhancements,  allowing  for cron-like
       scheduling and much more granular timing routines. See here for more info.

   Red Hat 7 Family Support
       All the needed additions have been made to run Salt on RHEL 7 and derived OSes like CentOS
       and Scientific.

   Fileserver Backends in salt-call
       Fileserver  backends  like  gitfs  can  now  be  used  without a salt master! Just add the
       fileserver backend configuration to the minion config and execute salt-call. This has been
       a much-requested feature and we are happy to finally bring it to our users.

   Amazon Execution Modules
       An  entire family of execution modules further enhancing Salt's Amazon Cloud support. They
       include the following:

       • Autoscale Groups (includes state support) -- related: Launch Control states

       • Cloud Watch (includes state support)

       • Elastic Cache (includes state support)

       • Elastic Load Balancer (includes state support)

       • IAM Identity and Access Management (includes state support)

       • Route53 DNS (includes state support)

       • Security Groups (includes state support)

       • Simple Queue Service (includes state support)

   LXC Runner Enhancements
       BETA The Salt LXC management system has received  a  number  of  enhancements  which  make
       running an LXC cloud entirely from Salt an easy proposition.

   Next Gen Docker Management
       The  Docker  support  in  Salt has been increased at least ten fold. The Docker API is now
       completely exposed and Salt ships with Docker data tracking systems which make  automating
       Docker deployments very easy.

   Peer System Performance Improvements
       The  peer  system  communication  routines  have  been  refined  to  make  the peer system
       substantially faster.

   SDB
       Encryption at rest for configs

   GPG Renderer
       Encrypted pillar at rest

   OpenStack Expansion
       Lots of new OpenStack stuff

   Queues System
       Ran change external queue systems into Salt events

   Multi Master Failover Additions
       Connecting to multiple masters is more dynamic then ever

   Chef Execution Module
       Managing Chef with Salt just got even easier!

   salt-api Project Merge
       The salt-api project has been merged into Salt core and is now available as  part  of  the
       regular  salt-master  package  install.  No API changes were made, the salt-api script and
       init scripts remain intact.

       salt-api has always provided Yet Another Pluggable Interface to Salt (TM) in the  form  of
       "netapi"  modules. These are modules that bind to a port and start a service. Like many of
       Salt's  other  module  types,  netapi  modules  often  have  library   and   configuration
       dependencies. See the documentation for each module for instructions.

       SEE ALSO:
          The full list of netapi modules.

   Synchronous and Asynchronous Execution of Runner and Wheel Modules
       salt.runner.RunnerClient   and   salt.wheel.WheelClient  have  both  gained  complimentary
       cmd_sync and cmd_async methods allowing for synchronous and asynchronous execution of  any
       Runner  or  Wheel  module  function,  all  protected  using Salt's external authentication
       system. salt-api benefits from this addition as well.

   rest_cherrypy Additions
       The rest_cherrypy netapi module provides the main REST API for Salt.

   Web Hooks
       This release of course includes the Web Hook  additions  from  the  most  recent  salt-api
       release,  which  allows  external services to signal actions within a Salt infrastructure.
       External services such as Amazon SNS, Travis-CI, or GitHub, as well as  internal  services
       that  cannot  or should not run a Salt minion daemon can be used as first-class components
       in Salt's rich orchestration capabilities.

       The raw HTTP request body is now available in the event data. This is  sometimes  required
       information  for  checking  an  HMAC  signature  in  order to verify a HTTP request. As an
       example, Amazon or GitHub requests are signed this way.

   Generating and Accepting Minion Keys
       The /key convenience URL generates a public and private key for  a  minion,  automatically
       pre-accepts  the  public  key  on  the Salt Master, and returns both keys as a tarball for
       download.

       This allows for easily bootstrapping the key on a new minion with a single HTTP call, such
       as with a Kickstart script, all using regular shell tools.

          curl -sS http://salt-api.example.com:8000/keys \
                  -d mid=jerry \
                  -d username=kickstart \
                  -d password=kickstart \
                  -d eauth=pam \
                  -o jerry-salt-keys.tar

   Fileserver Backend Enhancements
       All  of  the  fileserver  backends  have  been  overhauled to be faster, lighter, and more
       reliable. The VCS backends (gitfs, hgfs, and svnfs)  have  also  received  a  lot  of  new
       features.

       Additionally,  most  config  parameters  for  the  VCS backends can now be configured on a
       per-remote basis, allowing for global config parameters to be overridden  for  a  specific
       gitfs/hgfs/svnfs remote.

   New gitfs Features
   Pygit2 and Dulwich
       In  addition  to  supporting  GitPython, support for pygit2 (0.20.3 and newer) and dulwich
       have been added. Provided a compatible version of pygit2 is installed, it will now be  the
       default  provider.  The  config  parameter  gitfs_provider  has been added to allow one to
       choose a specific provider for gitfs.

   Mountpoints
       Prior to this  release,  to  serve  a  file  from  gitfs  at  a  salt  fileserver  URL  of
       salt://foo/bar/baz.txt,  it was necessary to ensure that the parent directories existed in
       the repository. A new config parameter gitfs_mountpoint allows gitfs remotes to be exposed
       starting at a user-defined salt:// URL.

   Environment Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       By  default,  gitfs will expose all branches and tags as Salt fileserver environments. Two
       new config parameters, gitfs_env_whitelist, and gitfs_env_blacklist,  allow  more  control
       over  which  branches  and  tags  are  exposed. More detailed information on how these two
       options work can be found in the Gitfs Walkthrough.

   Expanded Authentication Support
       As of pygit2 0.20.3, both http(s) and SSH key authentication are supported, and  Salt  now
       also  supports  both  authentication  methods  when using pygit2. Keep in mind that pygit2
       0.20.3 is not yet available on many platforms, so those who had been  using  authenticated
       git  repositories  with  a  passphraseless  key  should stick to GitPython if a new enough
       pygit2 is not yet available for the platform on which the master is running.

       A full explanation of how to use authentication can be found in the Gitfs Walkthrough.

   New hgfs Features
   Mountpoints
       This feature works exactly like its gitfs counterpart. The new config parameter is  called
       hgfs_mountpoint.

   Environment Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       This  feature  works  exactly  like  its  gitfs counterpart. The new config parameters are
       called hgfs_env_whitelist and hgfs_env_blacklist.

   New svnfs Features
   Mountpoints
       This feature works exactly like its gitfs counterpart. The new config parameter is  called
       svnfs_mountpoint.

   Environment Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       This  feature  works  exactly  like  its  gitfs counterpart. The new config parameters are
       called svnfs_env_whitelist and svnfs_env_blacklist.

   Configurable Trunk/Branches/Tags Paths
       Prior to this release, the paths where trunk, branches, and tags were located  could  only
       be  in  directories  named  "trunk", "branches", and "tags" directly under the root of the
       repository. Three new config  parameters  (svnfs_trunk,  svnfs_branches,  and  svnfs_tags)
       allow SVN repositories which are laid out differently to be used with svnfs.

   New minionfs Features
   Mountpoint
       This  feature works exactly like its gitfs counterpart. The new config parameter is called
       minionfs_mountpoint. The one major difference is that, as minionfs  doesn't  use  multiple
       remotes  (it  just  serves  up  files pushed to the master using cp.push) there is no such
       thing as a per-remote configuration for minionfs_mountpoint.

   Changing the Saltenv from Which Files are Served
       A new config parameter (minionfs_env) allows minionfs files  to  be  served  from  a  Salt
       fileserver environment other than base.

   Minion Whitelisting/Blacklisting
       By  default,  minionfs  will  expose  the  pushed  files  from all minions. Two new config
       parameters, minionfs_whitelist, and minionfs_blacklist, allow minionfs to be restricted to
       serve files from only the desired minions.

   Pyobjects Renderer
       Salt  now  ships  with  with the Pyobjects Renderer that allows for construction of States
       using pure Python with an idiomatic object interface.

   New Modules
       In addition to the Amazon modules mentioned  above,  there  are  also  several  other  new
       execution modules:

       • OracleRandomRedisAmazon Simple Queue ServiceBlock Device ManagementCoreOS etcdGenesisInfluxDBServer DensityTwilio NotificationsVarnishZNC IRC BouncerSMTP

   New RunnersMap/Reduce StyleQueue

   New External PillarsCoreOS etcd

   New Salt-Cloud ProvidersAliyun ECS CloudLXC ContainersProxmox (OpenVZ containers & KVM)

   Salt Call Change
       When used with a returner, salt-call now contacts a master if --local is not specicified.

   Salt 2014.7.1 Release Notes
       release
              2015-01-12

       Version 2014.7.1 is a bugfix release for 2014.7.0.

       The changes include:

       • Fixed gitfs serving symlinks in file.recurse states (issue #17700)

       • Fixed  holding  of  multiple  packages  (YUM)  when combined with version pinning (issue
         #18468)

       • Fixed use of Jinja templates in masterless mode with non-roots fileserver backend (issue
         #17963)

       • Re-enabled  pillar  and  compound  matching for mine and publish calls. Note that pillar
         globbing is still disabled for those modes, for security reasons.  (issue #17194)

       • Fix for tty: True in salt-ssh (issue #16847)

       • Fix for supervisord states when supervisor not installed to system python (issue #18044)

       • Fix for logging when log_level='quiet' for cmd.run (issue #19479)

   Salt 2014.7.2 Release Notes
       release
              2015-02-09

       Version 2014.7.2 is a bugfix release for 2014.7.0.

       The changes include:

       • Fix erroneous warnings for systemd service enabled check (issue #19606)

       • Fix FreeBSD kernel module loading, listing, and persistence kmod (issue  #197151,  issue
         #19682)

       • Allow  case-sensitive  npm  package names in the npm state.  This may break behavior for
         people expecting the state to lowercase their npm  package  names  for  them.   The  npm
         module was never affected by mandatory lowercasing.  (issue #20329)

       • Deprecate  the activate parameter for pip.install for both the module and the state.  If
         bin_env is given and points  to  a  virtualenv,  there  is  no  need  to  activate  that
         virtualenv in a shell for pip to install to the virtualenv.

       • Fix a file-locking bug in gitfs (issue #18839)

       • Deprecated archive_user in favor of standardized user parameter in state and added group
         parameter.

   Salt 2014.7.3 Release Notes
       release
              2015-03-25

       Version 2014.7.3 is a bugfix release for 2014.7.0.

       Changes:

       • Multi-master minions mode no longer route  fileclient  operations  asymetrically.   This
         fixes  the  source  of many multi-master bugs where the minion would become unrepsonsive
         from one or more masters.

       • Fix bug wherein network.iface could produce stack traces.

       • net.arp will no longer be made available unless arp is installed on the system.

       • Major performance improvements to Saltnado

       • Allow KVM module to operate under KVM itself or VMware Fusion

       • Various fixes to the Windows installation scripts

       • Fix issue where the syndic would not correctly propagate loads to the master job cache.

       • Improve error handling  on  invalid  /etc/network/interfaces  file  in  salt  networking
         modules

       • Fix bug where a response status was not checked for in fileclient.get_url

       • Enable eauth when running salt in batch mode

       • Increase timeout in Boto Route53 module

       • Fix bugs with Salt's 'tar' module option parsing

       • Fix parsing of NTP servers on Windows

       • Fix issue with blockdev tuning not reporting changes correctly

       • Update to the latest Salt bootstrap script

       • Update Linode salt-cloud driver to use either linode-python or apache-libcloud

       • Fix for s3.query function to return correct headers

       • Fix for s3.head returning None for files that exist

       • Fix the disable function in win_service module so that the service is disabled correctly

       • Fix  race  condition between master and minion when making a directory when both daemons
         are on the same host

       • Fix an issue where file.recurse would fail at the root of an svn repo when the repo  has
         a mountpoint

       • Fix an issue where file.recurse would fail at the root of an hgfs repo when the repo has
         a mountpoint

       • Fix an issue where file.recurse would fail at the root of an gitfs repo  when  the  repo
         has a mountpoint

       • Add status.master capability for Windows.

       • Various fixes to ssh_known_hosts

       • Various fixes to states.network bonding for Debian

       • The debian_ip.get_interfaces module no longer removes nameservers.

       • Better integration between grains.virtual and systemd-detect-virt and virt-what

       • Fix traceback in sysctl.present state output

       • Fix  for  issue  where  mount.mounted  would  fail  when  superopts  were  not a part of
         mount.active (extended=True). Also mount.mounted various fixes for Solaris and FreeBSD.

       • Fix error where datetimes were  not  correctly  safeguarded  before  being  passed  into
         msgpack.

       • Fix file.replace regressions.  If the pattern is not found, and if dry run is False, and
         if backup is False, and if a pre-existing file exists with  extension  .bak,  then  that
         backup  file  will  be  overwritten.  This  backup behavior is a result of how fileinput
         works. Fixing it requires either passing through the file twice (the first time only  to
         search  for  content  and  set  a  flag),  or  rewriting  file.replace so it doesn't use
         fileinput

       • VCS filreserver fixes/optimizations

       • Fix to correctly target minions in batch mode

       • Support ssh:// urls using the gitfs dulwhich backend

       • New fileserver runner

       • Fix various bugs with argument parsing to the publish module.

       • Fix disk.usage for Synology OS

       • Fix issue with tags occurring twice with docker.pulled

       • Fix incorrect key error in SMTP returner

       • Fix condition which would remount loopback filesystems on every state run

       • Remove requsites from listens after they are called in the state system

       • Make system implementation of service.running aware of legacy service calls

       • Fix issue where publish.publish would not handle duplicate responses gracefully.

       • Accept Kali Linux for aptpkg salt execution module

       • Fix bug where cmd.which could not handle a dirname as an argument

       • Fix issue in ps.pgrep where exceptions were thrown on Windows.

       Known issues:

       • In multimaster mode, a minion may become temporarily unresponsive if modules or  pillars
         are  refreshed  at  the  same time that one or more masters are down. This can be worked
         around by setting 'auth_timeout' and 'auth_tries' down to shorter periods.

   Salt 2014.1.0 Release Notes - Codename Hydrogen
       NOTE:
          Due  to a change in master to minion communication, 2014.1.0 minions are not compatible
          with  older-version  masters.   Please   upgrade   masters   first.    More   info   on
          backwards-compatibility policy here, under the "Upgrading Salt" subheading.

       NOTE:
          A  change  in  the grammar in the state compiler makes module.run in requisites illegal
          syntax.  Its use is replaced simply with the word module.  In other words you will need
          to change requisites like this:

              require:
                  module.run: some_module_name

          to:

              require:
                  module: some_module_name

          This is a breaking change.  We apologize for the inconvenience, we needed to do this to
          remove some ambiguity in parsing requisites.

       release
              2014-02-24

       The 2014.1.0 release of Salt is a major release which not  only  increases  stability  but
       also  brings new capabilities in virtualization, cloud integration, and more. This release
       brings a great focus on the expansion of testing making roughly double the coverage in the
       Salt tests, and comes with many new features.

       2014.1.0  is the first release to follow the new date-based release naming system. See the
       version numbers page for more details.

   Major Features
   Salt Cloud Merged into Salt
       Salt Cloud is a tool for provisioning salted minions across various cloud providers. Prior
       to  this  release,  Salt  Cloud was a separate project but this marks its full integration
       with the Salt distribution. A Getting Started guide and additional documentation for  Salt
       Cloud can be found here:

   Google Compute Engine
       Alongside  Salt  Cloud comes new support for the Google Compute Engine. Salt Stack can now
       deploy and control GCE virtual machines and the application stacks that they run.

       For more information on Salt Stack and GCE, please see this blog post.

       Documentation for Salt and GCE can be found here.

   Salt Virt
       Salt Virt is a cloud controller that  supports  virtual  machine  deployment,  inspection,
       migration, and integration with many aspects of Salt.

       Salt  Virt  has  undergone  a  major overhaul with this release and now supports many more
       features and includes a number of critical improvements.

   Docker Integration
       Salt now ships with states and an execution module to manage Docker containers.

   Substantial Testing Expansion
       Salt continues to increase its unit/regression test coverage. This release  includes  over
       300 new tests.

   BSD Package Management
       BSD  package  management  has  been entirely rewritten. FreeBSD 9 and older now default to
       using pkg_add, while FreeBSD 10 and newer will use pkgng. FreeBSD 9 can be forced  to  use
       pkgng, however, by specifying the following option in the minion config file:

          providers:
            pkg: pkgng

       In  addition,  support for installing software from the ports tree has been added. See the
       documentation for the ports state and execution module for more information.

   Network Management for Debian/Ubuntu
       Initial support for management of network interfaces  on  Debian-based  distros  has  been
       added. See the documentation for the network state and the debian_ip for more information.

   IPv6 Support for iptables State/Module
       The iptables state and module now have IPv6 support. A new parameter family has been added
       to the states and execution functions, to distinguish between IPv4 and IPv6.  The  default
       value  for  this  parameter is ipv4, specifying ipv6 will use ip6tables to manage firewall
       rules.

   GitFS Improvements
       Several  performance  improvements  have  been  made  to  the  Git   fileserver   backend.
       Additionally, file states can now use any SHA1 commit hash as a fileserver environment:

          /etc/httpd/httpd.conf:
            file.managed:
              - source: salt://webserver/files/httpd.conf
              - saltenv: 45af879

       This applies to the functions in the cp module as well:

          salt '*' cp.get_file salt://readme.txt /tmp/readme.txt saltenv=45af879

   MinionFS
       This  new  fileserver  backend  allows files which have been pushed from the minion to the
       master (using cp.push) to be served up from the salt fileserver. The path for these  files
       takes the following format:

          salt://minion-id/path/to/file

       minion-id  is  the  id of the "source" minion, the one from which the files were pushed to
       the master. /path/to/file is the full path of the file.

       The MinionFS Walkthrough contains a more thorough example of how to use this backend.

   saltenv
       To distinguish between fileserver environments and execution  functions  which  deal  with
       environment  variables,  fileserver  environments  are  now  specified  using  the saltenv
       parameter. env will continue to work, but is deprecated and will be removed  in  a  future
       release.

   Grains Caching
       A  caching  layer  has  been  added  to  the Grains system, which can help speed up minion
       startup. Disabled by default, it can be  enabled  by  setting  the  minion  config  option
       grains_cache:

          grains_cache: True

          # Seconds before grains cache is considered to be stale.
          grains_cache_expiration: 300

       If  set  to  True,  the  grains  loader  will read from/write to a msgpack-serialized file
       containing the grains data.

       Additional command-line parameters have  been  added  to  salt-call,  mainly  for  testing
       purposes:

       • --skip-grains will completely bypass the grains loader when salt-call is invoked.

       • --refresh-grains-cache  will  force  the  grains  loader  to bypass the grains cache and
         refresh the grains, writing a new grains cache file.

   Improved Command Logging Control
       When using the cmd module, either on the CLI or when developing Salt execution modules,  a
       new  keyword argument output_loglevel allows for greater control over how (or even if) the
       command and its output are logged. For example:

          salt '*' cmd.run 'tail /var/log/messages' output_loglevel=debug

       The package management modules (apt, yumpkg, etc.) have been updated to  log  the  copious
       output generated from these commands at loglevel debug.

       NOTE:
          To keep a command from being logged, output_loglevel=quiet can be used.

          Prior  to  this  release,  this  could be done using quiet=True. This argument is still
          supported, but will be removed in a future Salt release.

   PagerDuty Support
       Initial support for firing events via PagerDuty has been added. See the documentation  for
       the pagerduty module.

   Virtual Terminal
       Sometimes  the  subprocess  module  is not good enough, and, in fact, not even askpass is.
       This virtual terminal is still in its infant childhood, needs quite  some  love,  and  was
       originally  created  to  replace  askpass, but, while developing it, it immediately proved
       that it could do so much more. It's currently used by salt-cloud when  bootstrapping  salt
       on clouds which require the use of a password.

   Proxy Minions
       Initial  basic  support  for  Proxy Minions is in this release. Documentation can be found
       here.

       Proxy minions are a developing feature in Salt that enables control of devices that cannot
       run  a  minion.  Examples  include  network  gear  like  switches  and  routers that run a
       proprietary OS but offer an API, or "dumb" devices that just don't have the horsepower  or
       ability to handle a Python VM.

       Proxy minions can be difficult to write, so a simple REST-based example proxy is included.
       A Python bottle-based webserver can be found at https://github.com/cro/salt-proxy-rest  as
       an endpoint for this proxy.

       This  is  an ALPHA-quality feature. There are a number of issues with it currently, mostly
       centering around  process  control,  logging,  and  inability  to  work  in  a  masterless
       configuration.

         resource

       • Remove unused testing code

       • Ensure salt states are placed into the .salt directory in salt-ssh

       • Use a randomized path for temporary files in a salt-cloud deployment

       • Clean any stale directories to ensure a fresh copy of salt-ssh during a deployment

       Salt  2014.1.10  fixes  security  issues  documented  by CVE-2014-3563: "Insecure tmp-file
       creation in seed.py, salt-ssh, and salt-cloud." Upgrading is recommended.

   Salt 0.10.0 Release Notes
       release
              2012-06-16

       0.10.0  has  arrived!  This  release comes with MANY bug fixes, and new capabilities which
       greatly enhance performance and reliability. This release is primarily a bug  fix  release
       with  many  new  tests  and many repaired bugs. This release also introduces a few new key
       features which were brought in primarily to repair bugs and some limitations found in some
       of the components of the original architecture.

   Major Features
   Event System
       The Salt Master now comes equipped with a new event system. This event system has replaced
       some of the back end of the Salt client and offers the beginning of a  system  which  will
       make  plugging  external applications into Salt. The event system relies on a local ZeroMQ
       publish socket and other processes can connect to this socket and listen for  events.  The
       new events can be easily managed via Salt's event library.

   Unprivileged User Updates
       Some enhancements have been added to Salt for running as a user other than root. These new
       additions should make switching the user that the Salt Master is running as very painless,
       simply  change  the  user  option in the master configuration and restart the master, Salt
       will take care of all of the particulars for you.

   Peer Runner Execution
       Salt has long had the peer communication system used to allow minions to send commands via
       the  salt  master.  0.10.0 adds a new capability here, now the master can be configured to
       allow for minions to execute Salt runners via the  peer_run  option  in  the  salt  master
       configuration.

   YAML Parsing Updates
       In the past the YAML parser for sls files would return the incorrect numbers when the file
       mode was set with a preceding 0. The YAML parser used in Salt  has  been  modified  to  no
       longer  convert  these number into octal but to keep them as the correct value so that sls
       files can be a little cleaner to write.

   State Call Data Files
       It was requested that the minion keep a local cache of the most recent executed state run.
       This  has  been  added and now with state runs the data is stored in a msgpack file in the
       minion's cachedir.

   Turning Off the Job Cache
       A new option has been added to the master configuration file.  In  previous  releases  the
       Salt client would look over the Salt job cache to read in the minion return data. With the
       addition of the event system the Salt client can now watch for events  directly  from  the
       master worker processes.

       This  means  that the job cache is no longer a hard requirement. Keep in mind though, that
       turning off the job cache means that historic job execution data cannot be retrieved.

   Test Updates
   Minion Swarms Are Faster
       To continue our efforts with testing Salt's ability to scale the  minionswarm  script  has
       been  updated.  The  minionswarm can now start up minions much faster than it could before
       and comes with a new feature allowing modules to be disabled, thus lowering  the  minion's
       footprint when making a swarm. These new updates have allows us to test

          # python minionswarm.py -m 20 --master salt-master

   Many Fixes
       To  get  a  good  idea  for  the number of bugfixes this release offers take a look at the
       closed tickets for 0.10.0, this is a very substantial update:

   Master and Minion Stability Fixes
       As Salt deployments grow new ways to break Salt are discovered. 0.10.0 comes with a number
       of fixes for the minions and master greatly improving Salt stability.

   Salt 0.10.1 Release Notes
       release
              2012-06-19

   Salt 0.10.2 Release Notes
       release
              2012-07-30

       0.10.2  is out! This release comes with enhancements to the pillar interface, cleaner ways
       to access the salt-call capabilities in the API, minion data caching and the event  system
       has been added to salt minions.

       There have also been updates to the ZeroMQ functions, many more tests (thanks to sponsors,
       the code sprint and many contributors) and a swath of bug fixes.

   Major Features
   Ext Pillar Modules
       The ranks of available Salt modules directories sees a new member  in  0.10.2.   With  the
       popularity  of pillar a higher demand has arisen for ext_pillar interfaces to be more like
       regular Salt module additions. Now ext_pillar interfaces can be added in the same  way  as
       other modules, just drop it into the pillar directory in the salt source.

   Minion Events
       In  0.10.0  an  event system was added to the Salt master. 0.10.2 adds the event system to
       the minions as well. Now event can be published on a local minion as well.

       The minions can also send events back up to the master. This means that Salt  is  able  to
       communicate  individual  events  from  the  minions  back  up  to the Master which are not
       associated with command.

   Minion Data Caching
       When pillar was introduced the landscape for available  data  was  greatly  enhanced.  The
       minion's began sending grain data back to the master on a regular basis.

       The  new config option on the master called minion_data_cache instructs the Salt master to
       maintain a cache of the minion's grains and pillar data in the cachedir.  This  option  is
       turned  off  by default to avoid hitting the disk more, but when enabled the cache is used
       to make grain matching from the salt command more powerful, since the  minions  that  will
       match can be predetermined.

   Backup Files
       By  default  all  files  replaced  by  the  file.managed and file.recurse states we simply
       deleted. 0.10.2 adds a new option. By setting the backup option to minion  the  files  are
       backed up before they are replaced.

       The  backed  up  files  are  located in the cachedir under the file_backup directory. On a
       default system this will be at: /var/cache/salt/file_backup

   Configuration files
       salt-master  and  salt-minion  automatically  load  additional  configuration  files  from
       master.d/*.conf  respective  minion.d/*.conf where master.d/minion.d is a directory in the
       same directory as the main configuration file.

   Salt Key Verification
       A number  of  users  complained  that  they  had  inadvertently  deleted  the  wrong  salt
       authentication  keys.  0.10.2  now displays what keys are going to be deleted and verifies
       that they are the keys that are intended for deletion.

   Key auto-signing
       If autosign_file is specified in the configuration file incoming keys will be compared  to
       the  list  of  keynames  in  autosign_file.  Regular  expressions  as  well as globbing is
       supported.

       The file must only be writable by the user otherwise the file will be  ignored.  To  relax
       the permission and allow group write access set the permissive_pki_access option.

   Module changes
   Improved OpenBSD support
       New modules for managing services and packages were provided by Joshua Elsasser to further
       improve the support for OpenBSD.

       Existing modules like the disk module were also improved to support OpenBSD.

   SQL Modules
       The MySQL and PostgreSQL modules have both received a number of additions  thanks  to  the
       work of Avi Marcus and Roman Imankulov.

   ZFS Support on FreeBSD
       A  new  ZFS  module  has  been  added by Kurtis Velarde for FreeBSD supporting various ZFS
       operations like creating, extending or removing zpools.

   Augeas
       A new Augeas module by Ulrich Dangel for editing and verifying config files.

   Native Debian Service module
       The support for the Debian was further improved with an new service module for  Debian  by
       Ahmad Khayyat supporting disable and enable.

   Cassandra
       Cassandra  support  has  been  added by Adam Garside. Currently only status and diagnostic
       information are supported.

   Networking
       The networking support for RHEL has been improved and supports bonding support as well  as
       zeroconf configuration.

   Monit
       Basic monit support by Kurtis Velarde to control services via monit.

   nzbget
       Basic support for controlling nzbget by Joseph Hall

   Bluetooth
       Baisc  bluez support for managing and controlling Bluetooth devices.  Supports scanning as
       well as pairing/unpairing by Joseph Hall.

   Test Updates
   Consistency Testing
       Another testing script has been added. A  bug  was  found  in  pillar  when  many  minions
       generated  pillar  data at the same time. The new consist.py script is the tests directory
       was created to reproduce bugs where data should always be consistent.

   Many Fixes
       To get a good idea for the number of bugfixes this release  offers  take  a  look  at  the
       closed tickets for 0.10.2, this is a very substantial update:

   Master and Minion Stability Fixes
       As Salt deployments grow new ways to break Salt are discovered. 0.10.2 comes with a number
       of fixes for the minions and master greatly improving Salt stability.

   Salt 0.10.3 Release Notes
       release
              2012-09-30

       The latest taste of Salt has come, this release has  many  fixes  and  feature  additions.
       Modifications  have  been  made to make ZeroMQ connections more reliable, the beginning of
       the ACL system is in place, a new command line parsing  system  has  been  added,  dynamic
       module  distribution  has  become more environment aware, the new master_finger option and
       many more!

   Major Features
   ACL System
       The new ACL system has been introduced. The ACL system allows for system users other  than
       root  to  execute  salt commands. Users can be allowed to execute specific commands in the
       same way that minions are opened up to the peer system.

       The configuration value to open up the ACL system is called client_acl and  is  configured
       like so:

          client_acl:
            fred:
              - test..*
              - pkg.list_pkgs

       Where  fred  is  allowed  access  to functions in the test module and to the pkg.list_pkgs
       function.

   Master Finger Option
       The master_finger option has been added to improve the security  of  minion  provisioning.
       The  master_finger option allows for the fingerprint of the master public key to be set in
       the configuration file to double verify that the master is valid. This option was added in
       response  to  a motivation to pre-authenticate the master when provisioning new minions to
       help prevent man in the middle attacks in some situations.

   Salt Key Fingerprint Generation
       The ability to generate fingerprints of keys used by Salt has been added to salt-key.  The
       new option finger accepts the name of the key to generate and display a fingerprint for.

          salt-key -F master

       Will display the fingerprints for the master public and private keys.

   Parsing System
       Pedro  Algavio,  aka s0undt3ch, has added a substantial update to the command line parsing
       system that makes the help message output much cleaner and easier to search through.  Salt
       parsers now have --versions-report besides usual --version info which you can provide when
       reporting any issues found.

   Key Generation
       We have reduced the requirements needed for salt-key to generate minion keys.   You're  no
       longer  required  to  have  salt  configured  and  its  common directories created just to
       generate keys. This might prove useful if  you're  batch  creating  keys  to  pre-load  on
       minions.

   Startup States
       A  few  configuration  options  have  been added which allow for states to be run when the
       minion daemon starts. This can be a great advantage when deploying with Salt  because  the
       minion  can  apply  states  right  when  it  first  runs.  To  use  startup states set the
       startup_states configuration option on the minion to highstate.

   New Exclude Declaration
       Some users have asked about adding the ability to ensure that other sls files or  ids  are
       excluded  from  a state run. The exclude statement will delete all of the data loaded from
       the specified sls file or will delete the specified id:

          exclude:
            - sls: http
            - id: /etc/vimrc

   Max Open Files
       While we're currently unable to properly handle ZeroMQ's abort signals when the  max  open
       files is reached, due to the way that's handled on ZeroMQ's, we have minimized the chances
       of this happening without at least warning the user.

   More State Output Options
       Some major changes have been made to the state output system. In  the  past  state  return
       data  was  printed  in  a very verbose fashion and only states that failed or made changes
       were printed by default.  Now  two  options  can  be  passed  to  the  master  and  minion
       configuration files to change the behavior of the state output. State output can be set to
       verbose (default) or non-verbose with the state_verbose option:

          state_verbose: False

       It is noteworthy that the state_verbose option used to be set to False by default but  has
       been changed to True by default in 0.10.3 due to many requests for the change.

       Te  next  option  to  be  aware of new and called state_output. This option allows for the
       state output to be set to full (default) or terse.

       The full output is the standard state output, but the new terse output will print only one
       line  per  state  making  the  output  much  easier to follow when executing a large state
       system.

          state_output: terse

   state.file.append Improvements
       The salt state file.append() tries not to append existing text.  Previously  the  matching
       check  was  being  made  line  by  line. While this kind of check might be enough for most
       cases, if the text being appended was multi-line, the check would not work properly.  This
       issue  is  now  properly  handled,  the  match is done as a whole ignoring any white space
       addition or removal except inside commas.  For those thinking that, in order  to  properly
       match over multiple lines, salt will load the whole file into memory, that's not true. For
       most cases this is not important but an erroneous  order  to  read  a  4GB  file,  if  not
       properly  handled, like salt does, could make salt chew that amount of memory.  Salt has a
       buffered file reader which will keep in memory a maximum of 256KB and  iterates  over  the
       file in chunks of 32KB to test for the match, more than enough, if not, explain your usage
       on    a    ticket.    With     this     change,     also     salt.modules.file.contains(),
       salt.modules.file.contains_regex(),  salt.modules.file.contains_glob() and salt.utils.find
       now do the searching and/or matching using the buffered chunks approach explained above.

       Two new keyword arguments were also added, makedirs, and source.  The first, makedirs will
       create  the  necessary directories in order to append to the specified file, of course, it
       only applies if we're trying to append to a non-existing file on a non-existing directory:

          /tmp/salttest/file-append-makedirs:
              file.append:
                  text: foo
                  makedirs: True

       The second, source, allows one to append the contents of a file instead of specifying  the
       text.

          /tmp/salttest/file-append-source:

          file.append:
              - source: salt://testfile

   Security Fix
       A timing vulnerability was uncovered in the code which decrypts the AES messages sent over
       the network. This has been fixed and upgrading is strongly recommended.

   Salt 0.10.4 Release Notes
       release
              2012-10-23

       Salt 0.10.4 is a monumental release for the Salt team, with two new module  systems,  many
       additions to allow granular access to Salt, improved platform support and much more.

       This  release is also exciting because we have been able to shorten the release cycle back
       to under a month. We are working hard to keep up the aggressive pace and look  forward  to
       having releases happen more frequently!

       This  release  also  includes  a  serious  security  fix  and  all users are very strongly
       recommended to upgrade. As usual, upgrade the master first, and then the minion to  ensure
       that the process is smooth.

   Major Features
   External Authentication System
       The  new  external authentication system allows for Salt to pass through authentication to
       any authentication system to determine if a user has permission to execute a Salt command.
       The Unix PAM system is the first supported system with more to come!

       The  external  authentication  system  allows  for  specific users to be granted access to
       execute specific functions on  specific  minions.  Access  is  configured  in  the  master
       configuration file, and uses the new access control system:

          external_auth:
            pam:
              thatch:
                - 'web*':
                  - test.*
                  - network.*

       The  configuration  above  allows  the  user  thatch  to execute functions in the test and
       network modules on minions that match the web* target.

   Access Control System
       All Salt systems can now be configured to grant access to non-administrative  users  in  a
       granular way. The old configuration continues to work. Specific functions can be opened up
       to specific minions from specific users in the case of external auth and client ACLs,  and
       for specific minions in the case of the peer system.

       Access controls are configured like this:

          client_acl:
            fred:
              - web\*:
                - pkg.list_pkgs
                - test.*
                - apache.*

   Target by Network
       A  new  matcher  has  been  added to the system which allows for minions to be targeted by
       network. This new matcher can be called with the -S  flag  on  the  command  line  and  is
       available in all places that the matcher system is available. Using it is simple:

          $ salt -S '192.168.1.0/24' test.ping
          $ salt -S '192.168.1.100' test.ping

   Nodegroup Nesting
       Previously  a  nodegroup  was limited by not being able to include another nodegroup, this
       restraint has been lifted and now nodegroups will be expanded within other nodegroups with
       the N@ classifier.

   Salt Key Delete by Glob
       The  ability  to  delete  minion  keys  by glob has been added to salt-key.  To delete all
       minion keys whose minion name starts with 'web':

          $ salt-key -d 'web*'

   Master Tops System
       The external_nodes system has been upgraded to allow for modular subsystems to be used  to
       generate the top file data for a highstate run.

       The external_nodes option still works but will be deprecated in the future in favor of the
       new master_tops option.

       Example of using master_tops:

          master_tops:
            ext_nodes: cobbler-external-nodes

   Next Level Solaris Support
       A lot of work has been put into improved Solaris support by  Romeo  Theriault.   Packaging
       modules  (pkgadd/pkgrm and pkgutil) and states, cron support and user and group management
       have all been added and improved upon. These additions along with SMF (Service  Management
       Facility)  service  support  and improved Solaris grain detection in 0.10.3 add up to Salt
       becoming a great tool to manage Solaris servers with.

   Security
       A vulnerability in the security handshake was found and has  been  repaired,  old  minions
       should be able to connect to a new master, so as usual, the master should be updated first
       and then the minions.

   Pillar Updates
       The pillar communication has been updated to add some extra levels of verification so that
       the  intended  minion is the only one allowed to gather the data. Once all minions and the
       master are updated to salt 0.10.4 please activate pillar 2 by changing the  pillar_version
       in the master config to 2. This will be set to 2 by default in a future release.

   Salt 0.10.5 Release Notes
       release
              2012-11-15

       Salt  0.10.5  is ready, and comes with some great new features. A few more interfaces have
       been modularized, like the outputter system. The job  cache  system  has  been  made  more
       powerful  and can now store and retrieve jobs archived in external databases. The returner
       system has been extended to  allow  minions  to  easily  retrieve  data  from  a  returner
       interface.

       As usual, this is an exciting release, with many noteworthy additions!

   Major Features
   External Job Cache
       The  external job cache is a system which allows for a returner interface to also act as a
       job cache. This system is intended to allow users to store job information  in  a  central
       location  for  longer  periods  of time and to make the act of looking up information from
       jobs executed on other minions easier.

       Currently the external job cache is supported via the mongo and redis returners:

          ext_job_cache: redis
          redis.host: salt

       Once the external job cache is turned on the new ret module can be used on the minions  to
       retrieve  return  information  from  the job cache. This can be a great way for minions to
       respond and react to other minions.

   OpenStack Additions
       OpenStack integration with Salt has been moving forward at a  blistering  pace.   The  new
       nova,   glance,  and  keystone  modules  represent  the  beginning  of  ongoing  OpenStack
       integration.

       The Salt team has had many conversations with core OpenStack developers and is working  on
       linking to OpenStack in powerful new ways.

   Wheel System
       A  new  API  was  added  to  the  Salt Master which allows the master to be managed via an
       external API. This new system allows Salt API to easily hook  into  the  Salt  Master  and
       manage configs, modify the state tree, manage the pillar and more. The main motivation for
       the wheel system is to enable features needed in the upcoming web UI so users  can  manage
       the master just as easily as they manage minions.

       The  wheel system has also been hooked into the external auth system. This allows specific
       users to have granular access to manage components of the Salt Master.

   Render Pipes
       Jack Kuan has added a substantial new feature. The render  pipes  system  allows  Salt  to
       treat  the  render  system like unix pipes. This new system enables sls files to be passed
       through specific  render  engines.  While  the  default  renderer  is  still  recommended,
       different  engines  can  now  be more easily merged. So to pipe the output of Mako used in
       YAML use this shebang line:

       #!mako|yaml

   Salt Key Overhaul
       The Salt Key system was originally developed as only a CLI interface, but as time went  on
       it  was pressed into becoming a clumsy API. This release marks a complete overhaul of Salt
       Key. Salt Key has been rewritten to function purely from an API and to use  the  outputter
       system.  The  benefit  here is that the outputter system works much more cleanly with Salt
       Key now, and the internals of Salt Key can be used much more cleanly.

   Modular Outputters
       The outputter system is now loaded in a modular way. This means that output systems can be
       more  easily added by dropping a python file down on the master that contains the function
       output.

   Gzip from Fileserver
       Gzip compression has been added as an option to the cp.get_file and  cp.get_dir  commands.
       This  will  make  file transfers more efficient and faster, especially over slower network
       links.

   Unified Module Configuration
       In past releases of Salt, the minions needed to  be  configured  for  certain  modules  to
       function.  This  was  difficult  because  it  required pre-configuring the minions. 0.10.5
       changes this by making all module configs on minions search the  master  config  file  for
       values.

       Now if a single database server is needed, then it can be defined in the master config and
       all minions will become aware of the configuration value.

   Salt Call Enhancements
       The salt-call command has been updated in a few ways. Now, salt-call can take the --return
       option  to  send  the  data  to  a returner. Also, salt-call now reports executions in the
       minion proc system, this allows the master to be  aware  of  the  operation  salt-call  is
       running.

   Death to pub_refresh and sub_timeout
       The old configuration values pub_refresh and sub_timeout have been removed.  These options
       were in place to alleviate problems found in earlier versions of ZeroMQ which  have  since
       been  fixed.  The continued use of these options has proven to cause problems with message
       passing and have been completely removed.

   Git Revision Versions
       When running Salt directly from git (for testing or development, of course)  it  has  been
       difficult  to  know  exactly  what  code is being executed. The new versioning system will
       detect the git revision when building and how many commits have been made since  the  last
       release. A release from git will look like this:

       0.10.4-736-gec74d69

   Svn Module Addition
       Anthony  Cornehl  (twinshadow)  contributed a module that adds Subversion support to Salt.
       This great addition helps round out Salt's VCS support.

   Noteworthy Changes
   Arch Linux Defaults to Systemd
       Arch Linux recently changed to use systemd by default and discontinued  support  for  init
       scripts. Salt has followed suit and defaults to systemd now for managing services in Arch.

   Salt, Salt Cloud and Openstack
       With  the  releases  of  Salt  0.10.5  and  Salt  Cloud 0.8.2, OpenStack becomes the first
       (non-OS) piece of software to include support both on the user level (with Salt Cloud) and
       the  admin  level  (with  Salt).  We  are  excited  to continue to extend support of other
       platforms at this level.

   Salt 0.11.0 Release Notes
       release
              2012-12-14

       Salt 0.11.0 is here, with some highly sought after and exciting features.  These  features
       include  the  new  overstate  system,  the reactor system, a new state run scope component
       called __context__, the beginning of the search system (still needs a great deal of work),
       multiple  package  states, the MySQL returner and a better system to arbitrarily reference
       outputters.

       It is also noteworthy that we are changing how we mark release numbers. For  the  life  of
       the  project we have been pushing every release with features and fixes as point releases.
       We will now be releasing point releases for only bug fixes on a  more  regular  basis  and
       major  feature releases on a slightly less regular basis. This means that the next release
       will be a bugfix only release with a version number of 0.11.1. The  next  feature  release
       will be named 0.12.0 and will mark the end of life for the 0.11 series.

   Major Features
   OverState
       The  overstate  system  is  a  simple  way  to manage rolling state executions across many
       minions. The overstate allows for a state  to  depend  on  the  successful  completion  of
       another state.

   Reactor System
       The  new reactor system allows for a reactive logic engine to be created which can respond
       to events within a salted environment. The reactor system uses sls files to  match  events
       fired on the master with actions, enabling Salt to react to problems in an infrastructure.

       Your load-balanced group of webservers is under extra load? Spin up a new VM and add it to
       the group. Your fileserver is filling up? Send a notification to your  sysadmin  on  call.
       The possibilities are endless!

   Module Context
       A  new  component has been added to the module loader system. The module context is a data
       structure that can hold objects for a given scope within the module.

       This allows for components that are initialized to be stored in a persistent context which
       can  greatly  speed up ongoing connections. Right now the best example can be found in the
       cp execution module.

   Multiple Package Management
       A long desired feature has been added to package management.  By  definition  Salt  States
       have  always  installed  packages one at a time. On most platforms this is not the fastest
       way to install packages. Erik Johnson, aka terminalmage, has modified the package  modules
       for many providers and added new capabilities to install groups of packages. These package
       groups can be defined as a list of packages available in repository servers:

          python_pkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - python-mako
                - whoosh
                - python-git

       or specify based on the location of specific packages:

          python_pkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - sources:
                - python-mako: http://some-rpms.org/python-mako.rpm
                - whoosh: salt://whoosh/whoosh.rpm
                - python-git: ftp://companyserver.net/python-git.rpm

   Search System
       The bones to the search system have been added. This is a very basic interface that allows
       for  search  backends  to be added as search modules. The first supported search module is
       the whoosh search backend. Right now only the basic paths for the  search  system  are  in
       place,  making  this  very  experimental.   Further development will involve improving the
       search routines and index routines for whoosh and other search backends.

       The search system has been made to allow for searching through all of the state and pillar
       files, configuration files and all return data from minion executions.

   Notable Changes
       All  previous versions of Salt have shared many directories between the master and minion.
       The default locations for keys, cached data and sockets has  been  shared  by  master  and
       minion.  This  has created serious problems with running a master and a minion on the same
       systems. 0.11.0 changes the defaults to be separate directories. Salt will also attempt to
       migrate  all  of  the  old  key  data  into  the correct new directories, but if it is not
       successful it may need to be done manually. If your keys  exhibit  issues  after  updating
       make sure that they have been moved from /etc/salt/pki to /etc/salt/pki/{master,minion}.

       The old setup will look like this:

          /etc/salt/pki
          |-- master.pem
          |-- master.pub
          |-- minions
          |   `-- ragnarok.saltstack.net
          |-- minions_pre
          |-- minion.pem

   Salt 0.12.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-01-15

       Another feature release of Salt is here! Some exciting additions are  included  with  more
       ways to make salt modular and even easier management of the salt file server.

   Major Features
   Modular Fileserver Backend
       The  new  modular  fileserver  backend allows for any external system to be used as a salt
       file server. The main benefit here is that it is  now  possible  to  tell  the  master  to
       directly  use  a  git remote location, or many git remote locations, automatically mapping
       git branches and tags to salt environments.

   Windows is First Class!
       A new Salt Windows installer is now available! Much  work  has  been  put  in  to  improve
       Windows support. With this much easier method of getting Salt on your Windows machines, we
       hope even more development and progress will occur. Please file bug reports  on  the  Salt
       GitHub repo issue tracker so we can continue improving.

       One  thing  that  is  missing  on Windows that Salt uses extensively is a software package
       manager and a software package repository. The Salt pkg state allows sys admins to install
       software across their infrastructure and across operating systems. Software on Windows can
       now be managed in the same way. The SaltStack team built a package manager that interfaces
       with  the  standard  Salt  pkg  module  to  allow  for installing and removing software on
       Windows. In addition, a software package repository has been built  on  top  of  the  Salt
       fileserver.  A  small YAML file provides the information necessary for the package manager
       to install and remove software.

       An interesting feature of the new Salt Windows software package repository is that one  or
       more  remote git repositories can supplement the master's local repository. The repository
       can point to software on the master's fileserver or on an HTTP, HTTPS, or ftp server.

   New Default Outputter
       Salt displays data to the terminal via the outputter system. For a long time  the  default
       outputter  for  Salt  has  been  the  python  pretty print library.  While this has been a
       generally reasonable outputter, it did have many failings.  The new default  outputter  is
       called "nested", it recursively scans return data structures and prints them out cleanly.

       If  the  result of the new nested outputter is not desired any other outputter can be used
       via the --out option, or the output option can be set in the master and minion configs  to
       change the default outputter.

   Internal Scheduler
       The  internal Salt scheduler is a new capability which allows for functions to be executed
       at given intervals on the minion, and for runners to be executed at given intervals on the
       master.  The  scheduler  allows for sequences such as executing state runs (locally on the
       minion or remotely via an overstate) or continually gathering system data  to  be  run  at
       given intervals.

       The  configuration  is  simple, add the schedule option to the master or minion config and
       specify jobs to run, this in the master config will execute the state.over runner every 60
       minutes:

          schedule:
            overstate:
              function: state.over
              minutes: 60

       This example for the minion configuration will execute a highstate every 30 minutes:

          schedule:
            highstate:
              function: state.highstate
              minutes: 30

   Optional DSL for SLS Formulas
       Jack  Kuan,  our  renderer  expert,  has created something that is astonishing.  Salt, now
       comes with an optional Python based DSL, this is a  very  powerful  interface  that  makes
       writing  SLS  files  in  pure python easier than it was with the raw py renderer. As usual
       this can be used with the renderer shebang line, so a single sls can be written  with  the
       DSL if pure python power is needed while keeping other sls files simple with YAML.

   Set Grains Remotely
       A new execution function and state module have been added that allows for grains to be set
       on the minion. Now grains can be set via  a  remote  execution  or  via  states.  Use  the
       grains.present state or the grains.setval execution functions.

   Gentoo Additions
       Major  additions  to Gentoo specific components have been made. The encompasses executions
       modules and states ranging from supporting the make.conf file to tools like layman.

              2013-01-21

   Salt 0.13.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-02-12

       The lucky number 13 has turned the corner! From CLI notifications  when  quitting  a  salt
       command, to substantial improvements on Windows, Salt 0.13.0 has arrived!

   Major Features
   Improved file.recurse Performance
       The file.recurse system has been deployed and used in a vast array of situations. Fixes to
       the file state and module have led towards opening up new ways of running file.recurse  to
       make  it  faster.  Now  the  file.recurse  state  will  download  fewer files and will run
       substantially faster.

   Windows Improvements
       Minion stability on Windows has improved. Many file  operations,  including  file.recurse,
       have   been   fixed   and   improved.   The   network  module  works  better,  to  include
       network.interfaces. Both 32bit and 64bit installers are now available.

   Nodegroup Targeting in Peer System
       In the past, nodegroups were not available for targeting via the peer  system.   This  has
       been  fixed,  allowing  the  new  nodegroup  expr_form  argument  for  the publish.publish
       function:
          salt-call publish.publish group1 test.ping expr_form=nodegroup

   Blacklist Additions
       Additions allowing more granular blacklisting are available  in  0.13.0.  The  ability  to
       blacklist  users  and  functions  in client_acl have been added, as well as the ability to
       exclude state formulas from the command line.

   Command Line Pillar Embedding
       Pillar data  can  now  be  embedded  on  the  command  line  when  calling  state.sls  and
       state.highstate.  This  allows  for  on  the  fly  changes or settings to pillar and makes
       parameterizing state formulas even easier. This is done via the keyword argument:

          salt '*' state.highstate pillar='{"cheese": "spam"}'

       The above example will extend the existing pillar to hold the cheese key with a  value  of
       spam.  If  the  cheese  key  is  already  specified in the minion's pillar then it will be
       overwritten.

   CLI Notifications
       In the past hitting ctrl-C and quitting from the salt command would just drop to  a  shell
       prompt,  this caused confusion with users who expected the remote executions to also quit.
       Now a message is displayed showing what command can be used to  track  the  execution  and
       what the job id is for the execution.

   Version Specification in Multiple-Package States
       Versions can now be specified within multiple-package pkg.installed states. An example can
       be found below:

          mypkgs:
            pkg.installed:
              - pkgs:
                - foo
                - bar: 1.2.3-4
                - baz

   Noteworthy Changes
       The configuration subsystem in Salt has been overhauled to make the opts dict used by Salt
       applications  more  portable,  the  problem  is  that  this is an incompatible change with
       salt-cloud, and salt-cloud will need to be updated to the latest git  to  work  with  Salt
       0.13.0. Salt Cloud 0.8.5 will also require Salt 0.13.0 or later to function.

       The  SaltStack  team  is sorry for the inconvenience here, we work hard to make sure these
       sorts of things do not happen, but sometimes hard changes get in.

   Salt 0.14.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-03-23

       Salt 0.14.0 is here! This release was held up primarily by PyCon, Scale, and illness,  but
       has  arrived!  0.14.0  comes with many new features and is breaking ground for Salt in the
       area of cloud management with the introduction of Salt providing  basic  cloud  controller
       functionality.

   Major Features
   Salt - As a Cloud Controller
       This  is  the  first  primitive inroad to using Salt as a cloud controller is available in
       0.14.0. Be advised that this is alpha, only tested in a few very small environments.

       The cloud controller is built using kvm and libvirt for the hypervisors.  Hypervisors  are
       autodetected  as  minions  and  only  need  to  have  libvirt running and kvm installed to
       function. The features of the Salt cloud controller are as follows:

          • Basic vm discovery and reporting

          • Creation of new virtual machines

          • Seeding virtual machines with Salt via qemu-nbd or libguestfs

          • Live migration (shared and non shared storage)

          • Delete existing VMs

       It is noteworthy that this feature is still Alpha, meaning that all rights are reserved to
       change the interface if needs be in future releases!

   Libvirt State
       One  of  the problems with libvirt is management of certificates needed for live migration
       and cross communication between hypervisors. The new libvirt state makes the  Salt  Master
       hold  a  CA  and  manage the signing and distribution of keys onto hypervisors, just add a
       call to the libvirt state in the sls formulas used to set up a hypervisor:

          libvirt_keys:
            libvirt.keys

   New get Functions
       An easier way to manage data has been introduced. The pillar, grains, and config execution
       modules have been extended with the new get function. This function works much in the same
       way as the get method in a python dict, but with an enhancement,  nested  dict  components
       can be extracted using a : delimiter.

       If a structure like this is in pillar:

          foo:
            bar:
              baz: quo

       Extracting it from the raw pillar in an sls formula or file template is done this way:

          {{ pillar['foo']['bar']['baz'] }}

       Now  with  the  new  get function the data can be safely gathered and a default can be set
       allowing the template to fall back if the value is not available:

          {{ salt['pillar.get']('foo:bar:baz', 'qux') }}

       This makes handling nested structures much easier, and defaults can be cleanly  set.  This
       new  function  is  being  used  extensively  in  the  new  formulae repository of salt sls
       formulas.

   Salt 0.15.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-05-03

       The many new features of Salt 0.15.0 have arrived! Salt 0.15.0  comes  with  many  smaller
       features and a few larger ones.

       These features range from better debugging tools to the new Salt Mine system.

   Major Features
   The Salt Mine
       First  there  was  the  peer system, allowing for commands to be executed from a minion to
       other minions to gather data live. Then there was the external job cache for  storing  and
       accessing long term data. Now the middle ground is being filled in with the Salt Mine. The
       Salt Mine is a system used to execute functions on a regular basis  on  minions  and  then
       store  only the most recent data from the functions on the master, then the data is looked
       up via targets.

       The mine caches data that is public to all minions, so when a minion  posts  data  to  the
       mine all other minions can see it.

   IPV6 Support
       0.13.0  saw the addition of initial IPV6 support but errors were encountered and it needed
       to be stripped out. This time the code covers more cases and must be  explicitly  enabled.
       But the support is much more extensive than before.

   Copy Files From Minions to the Master
       Minions  have long been able to copy files down from the master file server, but until now
       files could not be easily copied from the minion up to the master.

       A new function called cp.push can push files from the minions up to the master server. The
       uploaded files are then cached on the master in the master cachedir for each minion.

   Better Template Debugging
       Template  errors  have  long been a burden when writing states and pillar. 0.15.0 will now
       send the  compiled  template  data  to  the  debug  log,  this  makes  tracking  down  the
       intermittent  stage templates much easier. So running state.sls or state.highstate with -l
       debug will now print out the rendered templates in the debug information.

   State Event Firing
       The state system is now more closely tied to the master's event  bus.  Now  when  a  state
       fails the failure will be fired on the master event bus so that the reactor can respond to
       it.

   Major Syndic Updates
       The Syndic system has been basically re-written. Now it runs in a completely  asynchronous
       way  and  functions  primarily as an event broker. This means that the events fired on the
       syndic are now pushed up to the higher level master instead of the old method  used  which
       waited for the client libraries to return.

       This makes the syndic much more accurate and powerful, it also means that all events fired
       on the syndic master make it up the pipe as well making a  reactor  on  the  higher  level
       master able to react to minions further downstream.

   Peer System Updates
       The  Peer  System  has  been  updated  to run using the client libraries instead of firing
       directly over the publish bus. This  makes  the  peer  system  much  more  consistent  and
       reliable.

   Minion Key Revocation
       In  the past when a minion was decommissioned the key needed to be manually deleted on the
       master, but now a function on the minion can be used to revoke the calling minion's key:

          $ salt-call saltutil.revoke_auth

   Function Return Codes
       Functions can now be assigned numeric return codes to determine if the  function  executed
       successfully. While not all functions have been given return codes, many have and it is an
       ongoing effort to fill out all functions that might return a non-zero return code.

   Functions in Overstate
       The overstate system was originally created to just manage the execution  of  states,  but
       with  the  addition  of  return  codes  to functions, requisite logic can now be used with
       respect to the overstate. This means that an overstate stage can now run single  functions
       instead of just state executions.

   Pillar Error Reporting
       Previously  if  errors  surfaced in pillar, then the pillar would consist of only an empty
       dict. Now all data that was successfully rendered stays in pillar and the render error  is
       also made available. If errors are found in the pillar, states will refuse to run.

   Using Cached State Data
       Sometimes  states  are  executed purely to maintain a specific state rather than to update
       states with new configs. This is grounds for  the  new  cached  state  system.  By  adding
       cache=True  to  a state call the state will not be generated fresh from the master but the
       last state data to be generated will be used.  If no previous state data is available then
       fresh data will be generated.

   Monitoring States
       The  new  monitoring  states  system  has  been started. This is very young but allows for
       states to be used to configure monitoring routines. So far only one  monitoring  state  is
       available, the disk.status state. As more capabilities are added to Salt UI the monitoring
       capabilities of Salt will continue to be expanded.

   Salt 0.15.1 Release Notes
       release
              2013-05-08

       The 0.15.1 release has been posted, this release includes fixes to a  number  of  bugs  in
       0.15.1 and a three security patches.

   Security Updates
       A number of security issues have been resolved via the 0.15.1 release.

   Path Injection in Minion IDs
       Salt  masters did not properly validate the id of a connecting minion. This can lead to an
       attacker uploading files to the master in arbitrary locations.  In particular this can  be
       used to bypass the manual validation of new unknown minions. Exploiting this vulnerability
       does not require authentication.

       This issue affects all known versions of Salt.

       This issue was reported by Ronald Volgers.

   Patch
       The issue is fixed in Salt 0.15.1. Updated packages are available in the usual locations.

       Specific commits:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/commit/e200b8a7ff53780124e08d2bdefde7587e52bfca

   RSA Key Generation Fault
       RSA key generation was done incorrectly, leading to very insecure keys. It is  recommended
       to regenerate all RSA keys.

       This  issue can be used to impersonate Salt masters or minions, or decrypt any transferred
       data.

       This issue can only be exploited by attackers who are able to observe  or  modify  traffic
       between Salt minions and the legitimate Salt master.

       A  tool  was  included in 0.15.1 to assist in mass key regeneration, the manage.regen_keys
       runner.

       This issue affects all known versions of Salt.

       This issue was reported by Ronald Volgers.

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/commit/5dd304276ba5745ec21fc1e6686a0b28da29e6fc

   Command Injection Via ext_pillar
       Arbitrary shell commands could be executed  on  the  master  by  an  authenticated  minion
       through options passed when requesting a pillar.

       Ext  pillar  options have been restricted to only allow safe external pillars to be called
       when prompted by the minion.

       This issue affects Salt versions from 0.14.0 to 0.15.0.

   Salt 0.16.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-07-01

       The 0.16.0 release is an exciting one, with new features in master redundancy, and a  new,
       powerful requisite.

   Major Features
   Multi-Master
       This  new capability allows for a minion to be actively connected to multiple salt masters
       at the same time. This allows for multiple masters to send out commands to minions and for
       minions to automatically reconnect to masters that have gone down. A tutorial is available
       to help get started here:

       Multi Master Tutorial

   Prereq, the New Requisite
       The new prereq requisite is very powerful! It allows for states  to  execute  based  on  a
       state  that  is  expected  to  make changes in the future. This allows for a change on the
       system to be preempted by another execution. A good example is  needing  to  shut  down  a
       service  before modifying files associated with it, allowing, for instance, a webserver to
       be shut down allowing a load balancer to stop sending requests while server side  code  is
       updated.  In  this case, the prereq will only run if changes are expected to happen in the
       prerequired state, and the prerequired state will always run after the  prereq  state  and
       only if the prereq state succeeds.

   Peer System Improvements
       The  peer  system has been revamped to make it more reliable, faster, and like the rest of
       Salt, async. The peer calls when an updated minion and master are used  together  will  be
       much faster!

   Relative Includes
       The  ability  to include an sls relative to the defined sls has been added, the new syntax
       id documented here:

       Includes

   More State Output Options
       The state_output option in the past only supported full and terse, 0.16.0  add  the  mixed
       and changes modes further refining how states are sent to users' eyes.

   Improved Windows Support
       Support  for  Salt  on  Windows  continues  to improve. Software management on Windows has
       become more seamless with Linux/UNIX/BSD software management.  Installed software  is  now
       recognized by the short names defined in the repository SLS. This makes it possible to run
       salt '*' pkg.version firefox and get back results from  Windows  and  non-Windows  minions
       alike.

       When  templating  files  on  Windows, Salt will now correctly use Windows appropriate line
       endings. This makes it much easier to edit and consume files on Windows.

       When using the cmd state the shell option now allows for specifying Windows Powershell  as
       an alternate shell to execute cmd.run and cmd.script.  This opens up Salt to all the power
       of Windows Powershell and its advanced Windows management capabilities.

       Several fixes and optimizations were added for the Windows networking modules,  especially
       when working with IPv6.

       A system module was added that makes it easy to restart and shutdown Windows minions.

       The  Salt  Minion will now look for its config file in c:\salt\conf by default. This means
       that it's no longer necessary to specify the -c option to  specify  the  location  of  the
       config file when starting the Salt Minion on Windows in a terminal.

   Multiple Targets for pkg.removed, pkg.purged States
       Both  pkg.removed  and  pkg.purged now support the pkgs argument, which allow for multiple
       packages to be targeted in a single state. This, as in pkg.installed, helps speed up these
       states  by reducing the number of times that the package management tools (apt, yum, etc.)
       need to be run.

   Random Times in Cron States
       The temporal parameters in cron.present states (minute, hour, etc.) can now be  randomized
       by  using  random instead of a specific value. For example, by using the random keyword in
       the minute parameter of a cron state, the same cron job  can  be  pushed  to  hundreds  or
       thousands  of  hosts,  and  they  would  each use a randomly-generated minute. This can be
       helpful when the cron job accesses a network resource, and it is  not  desirable  for  all
       hosts to run the job concurrently.

          /path/to/cron/script:
            cron.present:
              - user: root
              - minute: random
              - hour: 2

       Since Salt assumes a value of * for unspecified temporal parameters, adding a parameter to
       the state and setting it to random will change that value from * to a  randomized  numeric
       value.  However,  if that field in the cron entry on the minion already contains a numeric
       value, then using the random keyword will not modify it.

   Confirmation Prompt on Key Acceptance
       When accepting new keys with salt-key -a minion-id or salt-key -A, there is now  a  prompt
       that  will  show the affected keys and ask for confirmation before proceeding. This prompt
       can be bypassed using the -y or --yes  command  line  argument,  as  with  other  salt-key
       commands.

   Support for Setting Password Hashes on BSD Minions
       FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD all now support setting passwords in user.present states.

   Salt 0.16.1 Release Notes
       release
              2013-07-29

   Salt 0.16.2 Release Notes
       release
              2013-08-01

       Version 0.16.2 is a bugfix release for 0.16.0, and contains a number of fixes.

   Windows
       • Only  allow  Administrator's  group and SYSTEM user access to C:\salt. This eliminates a
         race condition where a non-admin user could modify a template or managed file before  it
         is  executed  by  the  minion  (which  is  running as an elevated user), thus avoiding a
         potential escalation of privileges. (issue #6361)

   Grains
       • Fixed detection of virtual grain on OpenVZ hardware nodes

       • Gracefully handle lsb_release data when it is enclosed in quotes

       • LSB grains are now prefixed with lsb_distrib_ instead of simply lsb_.  The old naming is
         not preserved, so SLS may be affected.

       • Improved grains detection on MacOS

   Pillar
       • Don't try to load git_pillar if not enabled in master config (issue #6052)

       • Functions  pillar.item  and pillar.items added for parity with grains.item/grains.items.
         The old function pillar.data is preserved for backwards compatibility.

       • Fixed minion traceback when Pillar SLS is malformed (issue #5910)

   Peer Publishing
       • More gracefully handle improperly quoted publish commands (issue #5958)

       • Fixed traceback when timeout specified via the CLI fo publish.publish, publish.full_data
         (issue #5959)

       • Fixed unintended change in output of publish.publish (issue #5928)

   Minion
       • Fixed salt-key usage in minionswarm script

       • Quieted  warning about SALT_MINION_CONFIG environment variable on minion startup and for
         CLI commands run via salt-call (issue #5956)

       • Added minion config parameter random_reauth_delay to stagger re-auth attempts  when  the
         minion  is  waiting  for  the  master  to approve its public key. This helps prevent SYN
         flooding in larger environments.

   User/Group Management
       • Implement previously-ignored unique option for user.present states in FreeBSD

       • Report in state output when a group.present state attempts  to  use  a  gid  in  use  by
         another group

       • Fixed  regression  that  prevents  a  user.present state to set the password hash to the
         system default (i.e. an unset password)

       • Fixed multiple group.present states with the same group (issue #6439)

   File Management
       • Fixed file.mkdir setting incorrect permissions (issue #6033)

       • Fixed cleanup of source files for templates when /tmp is in file_roots (issue #6118)

       • Fixed caching of zero-byte files when a non-empty file was previously cached at the same
         path

       • Added HTTP authentication support to the cp module (issue #5641)

       • Diffs are now suppressed when binary files are changed

   Package/Repository Management
       • Fixed traceback when there is only one target for pkg.latest states

       • Fixed regression in detection of virtual packages (apt)

       • Limit number of pkg database refreshes to once per state.sls/state.highstate

       • YUM:  Allow  32-bit packages with arches other than i686 to be managed on 64-bit systems
         (issue #6299)

       • Fixed incorrect reporting in pkgrepo.managed states (issue #5517)

       • Fixed 32-bit binary package installs on 64-bit  RHEL-based  distros,  and  added  proper
         support for 32-bit packages on 64-bit Debian-based distros (issue #6303)

       • Fixed  issue  where  requisites  were inadvertently being put into YUM repo files (issue
         #6471)

   Service Management
       • Fixed inaccurate reporting of results in service.running states when the  service  fails
         to start (issue #5894)

       • Fixed  handling of custom initscripts in RHEL-based distros so that they are immediately
         available, negating the need for a second state run  to  manage  the  service  that  the
         initscript controls

   Networking
       • Function  network.hwaddr  renamed  to  network.hw_addr  to  match  network.ip_addrs  and
         network.ip_addrs6. All three functions also now work without the underscore in the name,
         as well.

       • Fixed traceback in bridge.show when interface is not present (issue #6326)

   SSH
       • Fixed incorrect result reporting for some ssh_known_hosts.present states

       • Fixed  inaccurate  reporting  when  ssh_auth.present states are run with test=True, when
         rsa/dss is used for the enc param instead of ssh-rsa/ssh-dss (issue #5374)

   pip
       • Properly handle -f lines in pip freeze output

       • Fixed regression in pip.installed states with  specifying  a  requirements  file  (issue
         #6003)

       • Fixed use of editable argument in pip.installed states (issue #6025)

       • Deprecated runas parameter in execution function calls, in favor of user

   MySQL
       • Allow  specification  of  MySQL  connection  arguments via the CLI, overriding/bypassing
         minion config params

       • Allow mysql_user.present states to set a passwordless login (issue #5550)

       • Fixed endless loop when mysql.processlist is run (issue #6297)

   PostgreSQL
       • Fixed traceback in postgres.user_list (issue #6352)

   Miscellaneous
       • Don't allow npm states to be used if npm module is not available

       • Fixed alternatives.install states for which the target is a symlink (issue #6162)

       • Fixed traceback in sysbench module (issue #6175)

       • Fixed traceback in job cache

       • Fixed tempfile cleanup for windows

       • Fixed issue where SLS files using the pydsl renderer were not being run

       • Fixed issue where returners were being passed incorrect information (issue #5518)

       • Fixed traceback when numeric args are passed to cmd.script states

       • Fixed bug causing cp.get_dir to return more directories than expected (issue #6048)

       • Fixed tracebacks when Salt encounters problems running rbenv (issue #5888)

       • Only make the monit module available if monit binary is present (issue #5871)

       • Fixed incorrect behavior of img.mount_image

       • Fixed traceback in tomcat.deploy_war in Windows

       • Don't re-write /etc/fstab if mount fails

   Salt 0.17.0 Release Notes
       release
              2013-09-26

       The 0.17.0 release is a very exciting release of Salt,  this  brings  to  Salt  some  very
       powerful  new  features and advances. The advances range from the state system to the test
       suite, covering new transport capabilities and making states easier and more powerful,  to
       extending Salt Virt and much more!

       The  0.17.0  release  will  also  be  the  last  release  of Salt to follow the old 0.XX.X
       numbering system, the next release of Salt will change the  numbering  to  be  date  based
       following this format:

       <Year>.<Month>.<Minor>

       So if the release happens in November of 2013 the number will be 13.11.0, the first bugfix
       release will be 13.11.1 and so forth.

   Major Features
   Halite
       The new Halite web GUI is now available on PyPI. A great deal of work has  been  put  into
       Halite to make it fully event driven and amazingly fast. The Halite UI can be started from
       within the Salt Master (after being installed from PyPI),  or  standalone,  and  does  not
       require an external database to run.  It is very lightweight!

       This initial release of Halite is primarily the framework for the UI and the communication
       systems, making it easy to extend and build the UI up. It presently supports watching  the
       event bus and firing commands over Salt.

       At  this  time,  Halite  is  not available as a package, but installation documentation is
       available at: https://docs.saltproject.io/topics/tutorials/halite.html

       Halite is, like the rest of Salt, Open Source!

       Much more will be coming in the future of Halite!

   Salt SSH
       The new salt-ssh command has been added to Salt. This system allows for  remote  execution
       and  states  to be run over ssh. The benefit here being, that salt can run relying only on
       the ssh agent, rather than requiring a minion to be deployed.

       The salt-ssh system runs states in a compatible way as Salt and  states  created  and  run
       with salt-ssh can be moved over to a standard salt deployment without modification.

       Since  this  is  the initial release of salt-ssh, there is plenty of room for improvement,
       but it is fully operational, not just a bootstrap tool.

   Rosters
       Salt is designed to have the minions be aware of the master and the master does  not  need
       to  be  aware  of  the location of the minions. The new salt roster system was created and
       designed to facilitate listing the targets for salt-ssh.

       The roster system, like most of Salt, is a plugin system, allowing for the list of systems
       to  target  to be derived from any pluggable backend. The rosters shipping with 0.17.0 are
       flat and scan. Flat is a file which is read in via the salt render  system  and  the  scan
       roster does simple network scanning to discover ssh servers.

   State Auto Order
       This  is  a  major  change  in how states are evaluated in Salt. State Auto Order is a new
       feature that makes states get evaluated and executed  in  the  order  in  which  they  are
       defined  in the sls file. This feature makes it very easy to see the finite order in which
       things will be executed, making Salt now, fully imperative AND fully declarative.

       The requisite system still takes precedence over the order in which states are defined, so
       no  existing  states should break with this change. But this new feature can be turned off
       by setting state_auto_order: False in  the  master  config,  thus  reverting  to  the  old
       lexicographical order.

   state.sls Runner
       The  state.sls  runner  has  been  created  to  allow  for  a  more  powerful  system  for
       orchestrating state runs and function calls across the salt minions. This new system  uses
       the state system for organizing executions.

       This  allows  for  states  to be defined that are executed on the master to call states on
       minions via salt-run state.sls.

   Salt Thin
       Salt Thin is an exciting new component of Salt,  this  is  the  ability  to  execute  Salt
       routines without any transport mechanisms installed, it is a pure python subset of Salt.

       Salt Thin does not have any networking capability, but can be dropped into any system with
       Python installed and then salt-call can be called directly. The Salt Thin system, is  used
       by the salt-ssh command, but can still be used to just drop salt somewhere for easy use.

   Event Namespacing
       Events  have  been  updated  to  be  much  more flexible. The tags in events have all been
       namespaced allowing easier tracking of event names.

   Mercurial Fileserver Backend
       The popular git fileserver backend has been joined by the  mercurial  fileserver  backend,
       allowing the state tree to be managed entirely via mercurial.

   External Logging Handlers
       The  external  logging  handler  system allows for Salt to directly hook into any external
       logging system. Currently supported are sentry and logstash.

   Jenkins Testing
       The testing systems in Salt have been greatly enhanced, tests for salt are  now  executed,
       via   jenkins.saltstack.com,  across  many  supported  platforms.  Jenkins  calls  out  to
       salt-cloud to create virtual machines on Rackspace, then the minion on the virtual machine
       checks  into  the master running on Jenkins where a state run is executed that sets up the
       minion to run tests and executes the test suite.

       This now automates the sequence of  running  platform  tests  and  allows  for  continuous
       destructive tests to be run.

   Salt Testing Project
       The  testing  libraries for salt have been moved out of the main salt code base and into a
       standalone codebase. This has been done to ease the use of the testing systems being  used
       in salt based projects other than Salt itself.

   StormPath External Authentication
       The  external  auth system now supports the fantastic Stormpath cloud based authentication
       system.

   LXC Support
       Extensive additions have been added to Salt for LXC support.  This  included  the  backend
       libs  for  managing  LXC  containers.  Addition  into the salt-virt system is still in the
       works.

   macOS User/Group Support
       Salt is now able to manage users and groups on Minions running macOS.   However,  at  this
       time user passwords cannot be managed.

   Django ORM External Pillar
       Pillar data can now be derived from Django managed databases.

   Salt 0.17.1 Release Notes
       release
              2013-10-17

       NOTE:
          THIS  RELEASE  IS  NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PREVIOUS VERSIONS.  If you update your master to
          0.17.1, you must update your minions as well.  Sorry for the inconvenience -- this is a
          result of one of the security fixes listed below.

       The  0.17.1  release comes with a number of improvements to salt-ssh, many bugfixes, and a
       number of security updates.

       Salt SSH has been improved to be faster, more  featureful  and  more  secure.   Since  the
       original  release  of Salt SSH was primarily a proof of concept, it has been very exciting
       to see its rapid adoption. We appreciate the willingness of  security  experts  to  review
       Salt  SSH and help discover oversights and ensure that security issues only exist for such
       a tiny window of time.

   SSH Enhancements
   Shell Improvements
       Improvements to Salt SSH's communication have been added that  improve  routine  execution
       regardless of the target system's login shell.

   Performance
       Deployment of routines is now faster and takes fewer commands to execute.

   Security Updates
       Be advised that these security issues all apply to a small subset of Salt users and mostly
       apply to Salt SSH.

   Insufficient Argument Validation
       This issue allowed for a user with  limited  privileges  to  embed  executions  inside  of
       routines  to  execute  routines  that  should  be  restricted. This applies to users using
       external auth or client ACL and opening up specific routines.

       Be advised that these patches address the  direct  issue.  Additional  commits  have  been
       applied to help mitigate this issue from resurfacing.

   YAML Calling Unsafe Loading Routine
       It has been argued that this is not a valid security issue, as the YAML loading  that  was
       happening was only being called after an initial gateway filter in Salt has already safely
       loaded the YAML and would fail if non-safe routines were embedded.  Nonetheless,  the  CVE
       was filed and patches applied.

   Failure to Drop Supplementary Group on Salt Master
       If  a  salt  master  was  started as a non-root user by the root user, root's groups would
       still be applied to the running process. This fix changes the process  to  have  only  the
       groups of the running user.

   Failure to Validate Minions Posting Data
       This issue allowed a minion to pose as another authorized minion when posting data such as
       the mine data. All minions now pass through the id challenge before posting such data.

   Salt 0.6.0 release notes
       The  Salt remote execution manager has reached initial functionality! Salt is a management
       application which can be used to execute commands on remote sets of servers.

       The whole idea behind Salt is to create a system where a group of servers can be  remotely
       controlled  from a single master, not only can commands be executed on remote systems, but
       salt can also be used to gather information about your server environment.

       Unlike similar systems, like Func and MCollective, Salt is extremely simple to  setup  and
       use,  the  entire  application is contained in a single package, and the master and minion
       daemons require no running dependencies in the  way  that  Func  requires  Certmaster  and
       MCollective requires activeMQ.

       Salt  also  manages  authentication  and encryption. Rather than using SSL for encryption,
       salt manages encryption on a payload level,  so  the  data  sent  across  the  network  is
       encrypted with fast AES encryption, and authentication uses RSA keys. This means that Salt
       is fast, secure, and very efficient.

       Messaging in Salt is executed with ZeroMQ, so the message passing interface is built  into
       salt  and  does  not require an external ZeroMQ server. This also adds speed to Salt since
       there is no additional bloat on the networking layer, and ZeroMQ has already proven itself
       as a very fast networking system.

       The  remote  execution  in  Salt is "Lazy Execution", in that once the command is sent the
       requesting network connection is closed. This makes it easier to detach the execution from
       the  calling  process  on  the  master,  it  also  means  that replies are cached, so that
       information gathered from historic commands can be queried in the future.

       Salt also allows users to make execution modules  in  Python.  Writers  of  these  modules
       should  also  be  pleased  to  know  that  they  have access to the impressive information
       gathered from PuppetLabs' Facter application, making Salt module  more  flexible.  In  the
       future I hope to also allow Salt to group servers based on Facter information as well.

       All  in  all  Salt  is  fast, efficient, and clean, can be used from a simple command line
       client or through an  API,  uses  message  queue  technology  to  make  network  execution
       extremely  fast,  and  encryption  is handled in a very fast and efficient manner. Salt is
       also VERY easy to use and VERY easy to extend.

       You can find the source code for Salt on my GitHub page, I have also set  up  a  few  wiki
       pages  explaining  how  to  use  and  set  up Salt. If you are using Arch Linux there is a
       package available in the Arch Linux AUR.

       GitHub page: https://github.com/saltstack/salt

       Wiki: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/wiki

       Arch Linux Package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/salt-git/

       I am very open to contributions, for instance I need packages for more Linux distributions
       as well as BSD packages and testers.

       Give  Salt a try, this is the initial release and is not a 1.0 quality release, but it has
       been working well for me! I am eager to get your feedback!

   Salt 0.7.0 release notes
       I am pleased to announce the release of Salt 0.7.0!

       This release marks what is the first stable release of salt, 0.7.0 should be suitable  for
       general use.

       0.7.0 Brings the following new features to Salt:

       • Integration with Facter data from puppet labs

       • Allow for matching minions from the salt client via Facter information

       • Minion job threading, many jobs can be executed from the master at once

       • Preview of master clustering support - Still experimental

       • Introduce new minion modules for stats, virtualization, service management and more

       • Add extensive logging to the master and minion daemons

       • Add sys.reload_functions for dynamic function reloading

       • Greatly improve authentication

       • Introduce the saltkey command for managing public keys

       • Begin backend development preparatory to introducing butter

       • Addition of man pages for the core commands

       • Extended and cleaned configuration

       0.7.0 Fixes the following major bugs:

       • Fix crash in minions when matching failed

       • Fix configuration file lookups for the local client

       • Repair communication bugs in encryption

       • Numerous fixes in the minion modules

       The next release of Salt should see the following features:

       • Stabilize the cluster support

       • Introduce a remote client for salt command tiers

       • salt-ftp system for distributed file copies

       • Initial support for "butter"

       Coming  up next is a higher level management framework for salt called Butter. I want salt
       to stay as a simple and effective communication framework, and allow for more  complicated
       executions to be managed via Butter.

       Right  now  Butter  is  being  developed  to  act  as a cloud controller using salt as the
       communication layer, but  features  like  system  monitoring  and  advanced  configuration
       control (a puppet manager) are also in the pipe.

       Special  thanks  to Joseph Hall for the status and network modules, and thanks to Matthias
       Teege for tracking down some configuration bugs!

       Salt can be downloaded from the following locations;

       Arch Linux Package:

       Please enjoy the latest Salt release!

   Salt 0.8.0 release notes
       Salt 0.8.0 is ready for general consumption!  The source tarball is  available  on  GitHub
       for download:

       A  lot  of  work  has gone into salt since the last release just 2 weeks ago, and salt has
       improved a great deal. A swath of  new  features  are  here  along  with  performance  and
       threading improvements!

       The main new features of salt 0.8.0 are:

       Salt-cp

       Cython minion modules

       Dynamic returners

       Faster return handling

       Lowered required Python version to 2.6

       Advanced minion threading

       Configurable minion modules

   Salt-cp
       The  salt-cp  command  introduces  the  ability  to copy simple files via salt to targeted
       servers. Using salt-cp is very simple, just call salt-cp with a target specification,  the
       source file(s) and where to copy the files on the minions.  For instance:

       # salt-cp ‘*’ /etc/hosts /etc/hosts

       Will copy the local /etc/hosts file to all of the minions.

       Salt-cp  is  very  young,  in  the  future  more  advanced features will be added, and the
       functionality will much more closely resemble the cp command.

   Cython minion modules
       Cython is an amazing tool used to compile Python modules down to c. This is  arguably  the
       fastest  way  to  run Python code, and since pyzmq requires cython, adding support to salt
       for cython adds no new dependencies.

       Cython minion modules allow minion modules to be written in cython and therefore  executed
       in  compiled  c.  Simply write the salt module in cython and use the file extension “.pyx”
       and the minion module will be compiled when the  minion  is  started.  An  example  cython
       module is included in the main distribution called cytest.pyx:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/modules/cytest.pyx

   Dynamic Returners
       By  default  salt  returns  command  data back to the salt master, but now salt can return
       command data to any system. This is enabled via the  new  returners  modules  feature  for
       salt.  The  returners  modules take the return data and sends it to a specific module. The
       returner modules work like minion modules, so any returner can be added to the minions.

       This means that a custom data returner can be added to  communicate  the  return  data  so
       anything from MySQL, Redis, MongoDB, and more!

       There are 2 simple stock returners in the returners directory:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/returners

       The  documentation  on  writing returners will be added to the wiki shortly, and returners
       can be written in pure Python, or in cython.

   Configurable Minion Modules
       Minion modules  may  need  to  be  configured,  now  the  options  passed  to  the  minion
       configuration file can be accessed inside of the minion modules via the __opt__ dict.

       Information on how to use this simple addition has been added to the wiki: Writing modules

       The test module has an example of using the __opts__ dict, and how to set default options:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/modules/test.py

   Advanced Minion Threading
       In  0.7.0 the minion would block after receiving a command from the master, now the minion
       will spawn a thread or multiprocess. By  default  Python  threads  are  used  because  for
       general use they have proved to be faster, but the minion can now be configured to use the
       Python multiprocessing module instead. Using multiprocessing will  cause  executions  that
       are  CPU  bound  or  would otherwise exploit the negative aspects of the Python GIL to run
       faster and more reliably, but simple calls will still be  faster  with  Python  threading.
       The configuration option can be found in the minion configuration file:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/conf/minion

   Lowered Supported Python to 2.6
       The  requirement  for  Python  2.7 has been removed to support Python 2.6. I have received
       requests to take the minimum Python version back to 2.4, but unfortunately this  will  not
       be possible, since the ZeroMQ Python bindings do not support Python 2.4.

       Salt  0.8.0  is  a  very major update, it also changes the network protocol slightly which
       makes communication with older salt daemons impossible, your master and minions need to be
       upgraded together!

       I could use some help bringing salt to the people! Right now I only have packages for Arch
       Linux, Fedora 14 and Gentoo. We need packages for Debian and people willing to  help  test
       on  more platforms. We also need help writing more minion modules and returner modules. If
       you want to contribute to salt please hop on the mailing list and send in patches, make  a
       fork  on  GitHub and send in pull requests! If you want to help but are not sure where you
       can, please email me directly or post tot he mailing list!

       I hope you enjoy salt, while it is not yet 1.0 salt is completely viable and usable!

   Salt 0.8.7 release notes
       It has been a month since salt 0.8.0, and it has been a long  month!  But  Salt  is  still
       coming  along  strong. 0.8.7 has a lot of changes and a lot of updates.  This update makes
       Salt’s ZeroMQ back end  better,  strips  Facter  from  the  dependencies,  and  introduces
       interfaces to handle more capabilities.

       Many  of  the major updates are in the background, but the changes should shine through to
       the surface. A number of the new features are still a little thin, but  the  back  end  to
       support expansion is in place.

       I  also recently gave a presentation to the Utah Python users group in Salt Lake City, the
       slides from this presentation are available here:

       The video from this presentation will be available shortly.

       The major new features and changes in Salt 0.8.7 are:

       • Revamp ZeroMQ topology on the master for better scalability

       • State enforcement

       • Dynamic state enforcement managers

       • Extract the module loader into salt.loader

       • Make Job ids more granular

       • Replace Facter functionality with the new salt grains interface

       • Support for “virtual” salt modules

       • Introduce the salt-call command

       • Better debugging for minion modules

       The new ZeroMQ topology allows for better scalability, this will be required by  the  need
       to  execute  massive file transfers to multiple machines in parallel and state management.
       The new ZeroMQ topology is available in the aforementioned presentation.

       0.8.7 introduces the capability to declare states, this is similar to the capabilities  of
       Puppet. States in salt are declared via state data structures.  This system is very young,
       but the core feature set is available. Salt  states  work  around  rendering  files  which
       represent  Salt  high  data.  More on the Salt state system will be documented in the near
       future.

       The system for loading salt modules has been pulled out  of  the  minion  class  to  be  a
       standalone  module, this has enabled more dynamic loading of Salt modules and enables many
       of the updates in 0.8.7 –

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/loader.py

       Salt Job ids are now microsecond precise, this was  needed  to  repair  a  race  condition
       unveiled by the speed improvements in the new ZeroMQ topology.

       The  new  grains  interface  replaces  the functionality of Facter, the idea behind grains
       differs from Facter in that the grains are only used for static system data, dynamic  data
       needs  to  be  derived from a call to a salt module. This makes grains much faster to use,
       since the grains data is generated when the minion starts.

       Virtual salt modules allows for a salt module to be presented as something other than  its
       module  name.  The  idea here is that based on information from the minion decisions about
       which module should be presented can be made. The best example is the pacman  module.  The
       pacman  module will only load on Arch Linux minions, and will be called pkg. Similarly the
       yum module will be presented as pkg when the minion starts on a Fedora/RedHat system.

       The new salt-call command allows for minion modules to be executed from the  minion.  This
       means  that  on the minion a salt module can be executed, this is a great tool for testing
       Salt modules. The salt-call command can also be used to view the grains data.

       In previous releases when a minion module threw an exception very little data was returned
       to the master. Now the stack trace from the failure is returned making debugging of minion
       modules MUCH easier.

       Salt is nearing the goal of 1.0, where the core feature set and capability is complete!

   Salt 0.8.8 release notes
       Salt 0.8.8 is here! This release adds a great deal of code and some serious new features.

       Improved Documentation has been set up for salt using sphinx thanks to the efforts of Seth
       House. This new documentation system will act as the back end to the salt website which is
       still under heavy development. The new sphinx documentation system has also been  used  to
       greatly  clean  up  the  salt  manpages.   The  salt  7 manpage in particular now contains
       extensive information which was previously only in the wiki. The new documentation can  be
       found  at: https://docs.saltproject.io/ We still have a lot to add, and when the domain is
       set up I will post another announcement.

       More additions have been made to the ZeroMQ setup,  particularly  in  the  realm  of  file
       transfers. Salt 0.8.8 introduces a built in, stateless, encrypted file server which allows
       salt minions to download files from the salt master using the same encryption system  used
       for  all  other salt communications. The main motivation for the salt file server has been
       to facilitate the new salt state system.

       Much of the salt code has been cleaned up and  a  new  cleaner  logging  system  has  been
       introduced  thanks  to  the efforts of Pedro Algarvio. These additions will allow for much
       more flexible logging to be executed by salt, and fixed a great deal of my  poor  spelling
       in  the  salt  docstrings! Pedro Algarvio has also cleaned up the API, making it easier to
       embed salt into another application.

       The biggest addition to salt found in 0.8.8 is the  new  state  system.  The  salt  module
       system  has  received  a  new  front  end  which allows salt to be used as a configuration
       management system. The configuration management system allows for system configuration  to
       be  defined in data structures. The configuration management system, or as it is called in
       salt, the “salt state system” supports many of the features found in  other  configuration
       managers,  but allows for system states to be written in a far simpler format, executes at
       blazing speeds, and operates via the salt minion matching system. The  state  system  also
       operates within the normal scope of salt, and requires no additional configuration to use.

       The  salt  state  system can enforce the following states with many more to come: Packages
       Files Services Executing commands Hosts

       The system used to define the salt states is based on a data structure, the data structure
       used  to  define  the salt states has been made to be as easy to use as possible. The data
       structure is defined by default using a YAML file rendered  via  a  Jinja  template.  This
       means  that  the  state  definition language supports all of the data structures that YAML
       supports, and all of the programming constructs and logic that Jinja supports. If the user
       does  not  like  YAML  or  Jinja  the  states  can be defined in yaml-mako, json-jinja, or
       json-mako. The system used to render the states is completely dynamic, and  any  rendering
       system  can  be added to the capabilities of Salt, this means that a rendering system that
       renders XML data in a cheetah template, or whatever you can imagine, can be  easily  added
       to the capabilities of salt.

       The  salt  state system also supports isolated environments, as well as matching code from
       several environments to a single salt minion.

       The feature base for Salt has grown quite a bit since my last serious documentation  push.
       As  we approach 0.9.0 the goals are becoming very clear, and the documentation needs a lot
       of work. The main goals for 0.9.0 are to further refine the state system, fix any bugs  we
       find,  get  Salt  running on as many platforms as we can, and get the documentation filled
       out. There is a lot more to come as Salt moves forward to encapsulate a much larger scope,
       while maintaining supreme usability and simplicity.

   Salt 0.8.9 Release Notes
       Salt 0.8.9 has finally arrived! Unfortunately this is much  later  than  I  had  hoped  to
       release  0.8.9, life has been very crazy over the last month. But despite challenges, Salt
       has moved forward!

       This release, as expected, adds few new features and many refinements.  One  of  the  most
       exciting  aspect  of  this  release is that the development community for salt has grown a
       great deal and much of the code is from contributors.

       Also, I have filled out the documentation a  great  deal.  So  information  on  States  is
       properly  documented,  and  much of the documentation that was out of date has been filled
       in.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.8.9.tar.gz

       Here s the md5sum:

       7d5aca4633bc22f59045f59e82f43b56

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Salt Run
       A big feature is the addition of Salt run, the salt-run command  allows  for  master  side
       execution  modules  to be made that gather specific information or execute custom routines
       from the master.

       Documentation for salt-run can be found here

   Refined Outputters
       One problem often complained about in salt was the fact that  the  output  was  so  messy.
       Thanks to help from Jeff Schroeder a cleaner interface for the command output for the Salt
       CLI has been made. This new interface makes adding new printout formats easy and additions
       to  the  capabilities  of  minion  modules  makes  it possible to set the printout mode or
       outputter for functions in minion modules.

   Cross Calling Salt Modules
       Salt modules can now call each other, the __salt__ dict has been added to  the  predefined
       references in minion modules. This new feature is documented in the modules documentation.

   Watch Option Added to Salt State System
       Now  in  Salt states you can set the watch option, this will allow watch enabled states to
       change based on a change in the other defined states. This is  similar  to  subscribe  and
       notify statements in puppet.

   Root Dir Option
       Travis  Cline  has  added  the ability to define the option root_dir which allows the salt
       minion to operate in a subdir. This is a strong move in supporting the minion  running  as
       an unprivileged user

   Config Files Defined in Variables
       Thanks  again  to  Travis Cline, the master and minion configuration file locations can be
       defined in environment variables now.

   New Modules
       Quite a few new modules, states, returners, and runners have been made.

   New Minion Modules
   apt
       Support for apt-get has been added, this adds greatly improved Debian and  Ubuntu  support
       to Salt!

   useradd and groupadd
       Support for manipulating users and groups on Unix-like systems.

   moosefs
       Initial support for reporting on aspects of the distributed file system, MooseFS. For more
       information on MooseFS please see: http://www.moosefs.org

       Thanks to Joseph Hall for his work on MooseFS support.

   mount
       Manage mounts and the fstab.

   puppet
       Execute puppet on remote systems.

   shadow
       Manipulate and manage the user password file.

   ssh
       Interact with ssh keys.

   New States
   user and group
       Support for managing users and groups in Salt States.

   mount
       Enforce mounts and the fstab.

   New Returners
   mongo_return
       Send the return information to a MongoDB server.

   New Runners
   manage
       Display minions that are up or down.

   Salt 0.9.0 Release Notes
       release
              2011-08-27

       Salt 0.9.0 is here. This is an exciting release, 0.9.0 includes the new  network  topology
       features allowing peer salt commands and masters of masters via the syndic interface.

       0.9.0  also  introduces many more modules, improvements to the API and improvements to the
       ZeroMQ systems.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.0.tar.gz

       Here is the md5sum:

       9a925da04981e65a0f237f2e77ddab37

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Salt Syndic
       The new Syndic interface allows a master to be commanded via  another  higher  level  salt
       master. This is a powerful solution allowing a master control structure to exist, allowing
       salt to scale to much larger levels then before.

   Peer Communication
       0.9.0 introduces the capability for a minion to call  a  publication  on  the  master  and
       receive the return from another set of minions. This allows salt to act as a communication
       channel between minions and as a general infrastructure message bus.

       Peer communication is turned off by default but can be enabled via the peer option in  the
       master configuration file. Documentation on the new Peer interface.

   Easily Extensible API
       The  minion  and  master  classes have been redesigned to allow for specialized minion and
       master servers to be easily created. An example on how this is done for the master can  be
       found in the master.py salt module:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/master.py

       The Master class extends the SMaster class and set up the main master server.

       The  minion  functions can now also be easily added to another application via the SMinion
       class, this class can be found in the minion.py module:

       https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/minion.py

   Cleaner Key Management
       This release changes some of the key naming to allow for multiple master keys to  be  held
       based on the type of minion gathering the master key.

       The  -d  option  has  also been added to the salt-key command allowing for easy removal of
       accepted public keys.

       The --gen-keys option is now available as well  for  salt-key,  this  allows  for  a  salt
       specific RSA key pair to be easily generated from the command line.

   Improved 0MQ Master Workers
       The  0MQ  worker  system  has been further refined to be faster and more robust.  This new
       system has been able to handle a much larger load than the previous setup. The new  system
       uses the IPC protocol in 0MQ instead of TCP.

   New Modules
       Quite a few new modules have been made.

   New Minion Modules
   apache
       Work directly with apache servers, great for managing balanced web servers

   cron
       Read out the contents of a systems crontabs

   mdadm
       Module to manage raid devices in Linux, appears as the raid module

   mysql
       Gather simple data from MySQL databases

   ps
       Extensive utilities for managing processes

   publish
       Used by the peer interface to allow minions to make publications

   Salt 0.9.1 Release Notes
       release
              2011-08-29

   Salt 0.9.2 Release Notes
       release
              2011-09-17

       Salt  0.9.2  has  arrived!  0.9.2 is primarily a bugfix release, the exciting component in
       0.9.2 is greatly improved support for salt states. All of the salt states interfaces  have
       been  more  thoroughly  tested and the new salt-states git repo is growing with example of
       how to use states.

       This release introduces salt states for early developers and testers to start  helping  us
       clean up the states interface and make it ready for the world!

       0.9.2 also fixes a number of bugs found on Python 2.6.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.2.tar.gz

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Salt-Call Additions
       The  salt-call command has received an overhaul, it now hooks into the outputter system so
       command output looks clean, and the logging system has been hooked into salt-call, so  the
       -l option allows the logging output from salt minion functions to be displayed.

       The end result is that the salt-call command can execute the state system and return clean
       output:

          # salt-call state.highstate

   State System Fixes
       The state system has been tested and better refined. As of this release the  state  system
       is  ready  for  early testers to start playing with. If you are interested in working with
       the state system please check out the (still very small) salt-states GitHub repo:

       https://github.com/SS-archive/salt-states

       This git repo is the active development branch for  determining  how  a  clean  salt-state
       database  should  look  and  act. Since the salt state system is still very young a lot of
       help is still needed here. Please fork the salt-states repo and help us  develop  a  truly
       large and scalable system for configuration management!

   Notable Bug Fixes
   Python 2.6 String Formatting
       Python  2.6  does not support format strings without an index identifier, all of them have
       been repaired.

   Cython Loading Disabled by Default
       Cython loading requires a development tool chain to be installed on the minion,  requiring
       this  by  default  can cause problems for most Salt deployments. If Cython auto loading is
       desired it will need to be turned on in the minion config.

   Salt 0.9.3 Release Notes
       release
              2011-11-05

       Salt 0.9.3 is finally arrived. This is another big step forward  for  Salt,  new  features
       range  from  proper  FreeBSD  support  to  fixing issues seen when attaching a minion to a
       master over the Internet.

       The biggest improvements in 0.9.3 though  can  be  found  in  the  state  system,  it  has
       progressed  from  something  ready  for  early  testers  to a system ready to compete with
       platforms such as Puppet and Chef. The backbone of  the  state  system  has  been  greatly
       refined and many new features are available.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.3.tar.gz

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   WAN Support
       Recently  more  people  have been testing Salt minions connecting to Salt Masters over the
       Internet. It was found that Minions would commonly loose their connection  to  the  master
       when working over the internet. The minions can now detect if the connection has been lost
       and reconnect to the master, making WAN connections much more reliable.

   State System Fixes
       Substantial testing has gone into the state system and it is ready for real world usage. A
       great  deal  has  been added to the documentation for states and the modules and functions
       available to states have been cleanly documented.

       A number of State System bugs have also been founds and  repaired,  the  output  from  the
       state system has also been refined to be extremely clear and concise.

       Error  reporting  has  also been introduced, issues found in sls files will now be clearly
       reported when executing Salt States.

   Extend Declaration
       The Salt States have also gained the  extend  declaration.  This  declaration  allows  for
       states  to  be  cleanly  modified  in  a  post  environment.  Simply  said, if there is an
       apache.sls file that declares the apache service, then another sls can include apache  and
       then extend it:

          include:
            - apache

          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - require:
                  - pkg: mod_python

          mod_python:
            pkg:
              - installed

       The  notable  behavior  with  the  extend  functionality  is  that it literally extends or
       overwrites a declaration set up in another sls module. This means that Salt will behave as
       though  the  modifications  were  made  directly to the apache sls.  This ensures that the
       apache service in this example is directly tied to all requirements.

   Highstate Structure Specification
       This release comes with a clear specification of the Highstate data structure that is used
       to declare Salt States. This specification explains everything that can be declared in the
       Salt SLS modules.

       The specification is extremely simple, and illustrates how Salt has been able  to  fulfill
       the requirements of a central configuration manager within a simple and easy to understand
       format and specification.

   SheBang Renderer Switch
       It came to our attention that having many renderers means that there may  be  a  situation
       where more than one State Renderer should be available within a single State Tree.

       The  method  chosen  to  accomplish  this was something already familiar to developers and
       systems administrators, a SheBang. The Python State Renderer displays this new capability.

   Python State Renderer
       Until now Salt States could only be declared in yaml or json using Jinja or Mako.  A  new,
       very  powerful,  renderer  has been added, making it possible to write Salt States in pure
       Python:

          #!py

          def run():
              """
              Install the python-mako package
              """
              return {"include": ["python"], "python-mako": {"pkg": ["installed"]}}

       This renderer is used by making a run function that returns the Highstate data  structure.
       Any capabilities of Python can be used in pure Python sls modules.

       This example of a pure Python sls module is the same as this example in yaml:

          include:
            - python

          python-mako:
            pkg:
              - installed

   FreeBSD Support
       Additional  support  has  been  added  for FreeBSD, this is Salt's first branch out of the
       Linux world and proves the viability of Salt on non-Linux platforms.

       Salt remote execution already worked on FreeBSD, and should  work  without  issue  on  any
       Unix-like  platform.  But  this  support  comes in the form of package management and user
       support, so Salt States also work on FreeBSD now.

       The new freebsdpkg module provides package management support  for  FreeBSD  and  the  new
       pw_user and pw_group provide user and group management.

   Module and State Additions
   Cron Support
       Support for managing the system crontab has been added, declaring a cron state can be done
       easily:

          date > /tmp/datestamp:
            cron:
              - present
              - user: fred
              - minute: 5
              - hour: 3

   File State Additions
       The file state has been given a number of new features, primarily the directory,  recurse,
       symlink, and absent functions.

       file.directory
              Make sure that a directory exists and has the right permissions.

                 /srv/foo:
                   file:
                     - directory
                     - user: root
                     - group: root
                     - mode: 1755

       file.symlink
              Make a symlink.

                 /var/lib/www:
                   file:
                     - symlink
                     - target: /srv/www
                     - force: True

       file.recurse
              The recurse state function will recursively download a directory on the master file
              server and place it on the minion. Any change in the files on the  master  will  be
              pushed  to the minion. The recurse function is very powerful and has been tested by
              pushing out the full Linux kernel source.

                 /opt/code:
                   file:
                     - recurse
                     - source: salt://linux

       file.absent
              Make sure that the file is not on  the  system,  recursively  deletes  directories,
              files, and symlinks.

                 /etc/httpd/conf.d/somebogusfile.conf:
                   file:
                     - absent

   Sysctl Module and State
       The  sysctl  module  and  state  allows  for sysctl components in the kernel to be managed
       easily. the sysctl module contains the following functions:

       sysctl.show
              Return a list of sysctl parameters for this minion

       sysctl.get
              Return a single sysctl parameter for this minion

       sysctl.assign
              Assign a single sysctl parameter for this minion

       sysctl.persist
              Assign and persist a simple sysctl parameter for this minion

       The sysctl state allows for sysctl parameters to be assigned:

          vm.swappiness:
            sysctl:
              - present
              - value: 20

   Kernel Module Management
       A module for managing Linux kernel modules has  been  added.  The  new  functions  are  as
       follows:

       kmod.available
              Return a list of all available kernel modules

       kmod.check_available
              Check to see if the specified kernel module is available

       kmod.lsmod
              Return a dict containing information about currently loaded modules

       kmod.load
              Load the specified kernel module

       kmod.remove
              Unload the specified kernel module

       The kmod state can enforce modules be either present or absent:

          kvm_intel:
            kmod:
              - present

   Ssh Authorized Keys
       The  ssh_auth state can distribute ssh authorized keys out to minions. Ssh authorized keys
       can be present or absent.

          AAAAB3NzaC1kc3MAAACBAL0sQ9fJ5bYTEyYvlRBsJdDOo49CNfhlWHWXQRqul6rwL4KIuPrhY7hBw0tV7UNC7J9IZRNO4iGod9C+OYutuWGJ2x5YNf7P4uGhH9AhBQGQ4LKOLxhDyT1OrDKXVFw3wgY3rHiJYAbd1PXNuclJHOKL27QZCRFjWSEaSrUOoczvAAAAFQD9d4jp2dCJSIseSkk4Lez3LqFcqQAAAIAmovHIVSrbLbXAXQE8eyPoL9x5C+x2GRpEcA7AeMH6bGx/xw6NtnQZVMcmZIre5Elrw3OKgxcDNomjYFNHuOYaQLBBMosyO++tJe1KTAr3A2zGj2xbWO9JhEzu8xvSdF8jRu0N5SRXPpzSyU4o1WGIPLVZSeSq1VFTHRT4lXB7PQAAAIBXUz6ZO0bregF5xtJRuxUN583HlfQkXvxLqHAGY8WSEVlTnuG/x75wolBDbVzeTlxWxgxhafj7P6Ncdv25Wz9wvc6ko/puww0b3rcLNqK+XCNJlsM/7lB8Q26iK5mRZzNsGeGwGTyzNIMBekGYQ5MRdIcPv5dBIP/1M6fQDEsAXQ==:

   Salt 0.9.4 Release Notes
       release
              2011-11-27

       Salt 0.9.4 has arrived. This is a critical update that repairs a number of key bugs  found
       in 0.9.3. But this update is not without feature additions as well! 0.9.4 adds support for
       Gentoo portage to the pkg module and state system.  Also  there  are  2  major  new  state
       additions,  the  failhard  option and the ability to set up finite state ordering with the
       order option.

       This  release  also  sees  our  largest  increase  in  community   contributions.    These
       contributors  have  and  continue  to  be the life blood of the Salt project, and the team
       continues to grow. I want to put out a big thanks to our new and existing contributors.

   Download!
       The Salt source can be downloaded from PyPI:

       https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/salt/salt-0.9.4.tar.gz

       For instructions on how to set up Salt please see the installation instructions.

   New Features
   Failhard State Option
       Normally, when a state fails Salt continues to execute the remainder of the defined states
       and will only refuse to execute states that require the failed state.

       But  the situation may exist, where you would want all state execution to stop if a single
       state execution fails. The capability to do this is called failing hard.

   State Level Failhard
       A single state can have a failhard set, this means that if  this  individual  state  fails
       that  all state execution will immediately stop. This is a great thing to do if there is a
       state that sets up a critical config file and setting a require for each state that  reads
       the  config  would  be  cumbersome.   A good example of this would be setting up a package
       manager early on:

          /etc/yum.repos.d/company.repo:
            file:
              - managed
              - source: salt://company/yumrepo.conf
              - user: root
              - group: root
              - mode: 644
              - order: 1
              - failhard: True

       In this situation, the yum repo is going to be configured before other states, and  if  it
       fails to lay down the config file, than no other states will be executed.

   Global Failhard
       It  may be desired to have failhard be applied to every state that is executed, if this is
       the case, then failhard can be set in the master configuration file. Setting  failhard  in
       the master configuration file will result in failing hard when any minion gathering states
       from the master have a state fail.

       This is NOT the default behavior, normally Salt will  only  fail  states  that  require  a
       failed state.

       Using  the global failhard is generally not recommended, since it can result in states not
       being executed or even checked. It can also be confusing to  see  states  failhard  if  an
       admin is not actively aware that the failhard has been set.

       To use the global failhard set failhard: True in the master configuration

   Finite Ordering of State Execution
       When  creating salt sls files, it is often important to ensure that they run in a specific
       order. While states will always execute in the same order, that order is  not  necessarily
       defined the way you want it.

       A  few  tools  exist  in Salt to set up the correct state ordering, these tools consist of
       requisite declarations and order options.

   The Order Option
       Before using the order option, remember that the majority of state ordering should be done
       with requisite statements, and that a requisite statement will override an order option.

       The  order option is used by adding an order number to a state declaration with the option
       order:

          vim:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - order: 1

       By adding the order option to 1 this ensures that the vim package  will  be  installed  in
       tandem with any other state declaration set to the order 1.

       Any  state  declared  without an order option will be executed after all states with order
       options are executed.

       But this construct can only handle ordering states from the beginning.  Sometimes you  may
       want to send a state to the end of the line, to do this set the order to last:

          vim:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - order: last

       Substantial testing has gone into the state system and it is ready for real world usage. A
       great deal has been added to the documentation for states and the  modules  and  functions
       available to states have been cleanly documented.

       A  number  of  State  System  bugs have also been founds and repaired, the output from the
       state system has also been refined to be extremely clear and concise.

       Error reporting has also been introduced, issues found in sls files will  now  be  clearly
       reported when executing Salt States.

   Gentoo Support
       Additional  experimental  support  has  been  added  for  Gentoo.  This  is  found  in the
       contribution from Doug Renn, aka nestegg.

   Salt 0.9.5 Release Notes
       release
              2012-01-15

       Salt 0.9.5 is one of the largest steps forward in the development of Salt.

       0.9.5 comes with many milestones, this release has seen the community of  developers  grow
       out  to  an  international  team  of  46 code contributors and has many feature additions,
       feature enhancements, bug fixes and speed improvements.

       GitHub, and get coding (https://github.com/saltstack/salt)!

   Major Features
   SPEED! Pickle to msgpack
       For a few months now we have been talking  about  moving  away  from  Python  pickles  for
       network  serialization, but a preferred serialization format had not yet been found. After
       an extensive performance  testing  period  involving  everything  from  JSON  to  protocol
       buffers,  a  clear winner emerged.  Message Pack (https://msgpack.org/) proved to not only
       be the fastest and most compact, but also the most "salt like". Message  Pack  is  simple,
       and  the  code  involved  is  very  small.  The  msgpack library for Python has been added
       directly to Salt.

       This move introduces a few changes to Salt. First  off,  Salt  is  no  longer  a  "noarch"
       package,  since  the  msgpack lib is written in C. Salt 0.9.5 will also have compatibility
       issues with 0.9.4 with the default configuration.

       We have gone through great lengths to avoid backwards compatibility issues with Salt,  but
       changing  the  serialization  medium  was going to create issues regardless. Salt 0.9.5 is
       somewhat backwards compatible with earlier minions.  A  0.9.5  master  can  command  older
       minions,  but  only  if  the serial config value in the master is set to pickle. This will
       tell the master to publish messages in pickle format and will allow the master to  receive
       messages in both msgpack and pickle formats.

       Therefore  the  suggested  methods  for upgrading are either to just upgrade everything at
       once, or:

       1. Upgrade the master to 0.9.5

       2. Set serial to pickle in the master config

       3. Upgrade the minions

       4. Remove the serial option from the master config

       Since pickles can be used as a security exploit the ability for a master to accept pickles
       from minions at all will be removed in a future release.

   C Bindings for YAML
       All  of the YAML rendering is now done with the YAML C bindings. This speeds up all of the
       sls files when running states.

   Experimental Windows Support
       David Boucha has worked tirelessly to bring initial support to Salt for Microsoft  Windows
       operating  systems.  Right  now  the  Salt  Minion can run as a native Windows service and
       accept commands.

       In the weeks and months to come Windows will receive the  full  treatment  and  will  have
       support  for  Salt  States and more robust support for managing Windows systems. This is a
       big step forward for Salt to move entirely outside of the Unix world, and proves Salt is a
       viable cross platform solution. Big Thanks to Dave for his contribution here!

   Dynamic Module Distribution
       Many  Salt  users  have  expressed  the  desire  to have Salt distribute in-house modules,
       states, renderers, returners, and grains. This support has been added in a number of ways:

   Modules via States
       Now when salt modules are deployed to a minion via the state system as a  file,  then  the
       modules  will be automatically loaded into the active running minion - no restart required
       - and into the active running state. So custom state modules can be deployed and  used  in
       the same state run.

   Modules via Module Environment Directories
       Under  the  file_roots  each  environment can now have directories that are used to deploy
       large groups of modules. These directories sync modules at the beginning of a state run on
       the minion, or can be manually synced via the Salt module salt.modules.saltutil.sync_all.

       The directories are named:

       • _modules_states_grains_renderers_returners

       The modules are pushed to their respective scopes on the minions.

   Module Reloading
       Modules  can  now  be  reloaded without restarting the minion, this is done by calling the
       salt.modules.sys.reload_modules function.

       But wait, there's more! Now when a salt module of any type is added via states the modules
       will  be automatically reloaded, allowing for modules to be laid down with states and then
       immediately used.

       Finally, all modules are reloaded when modules are dynamically distributed from  the  salt
       master.

   Enable / Disable Added to Service
       A great deal of demand has existed for adding the capability to set services to be started
       at boot in the service module. This feature also comes with an  overhaul  of  the  service
       modules and initial systemd support.

       This  means that the service state can now accept - enable: True to make sure a service is
       enabled at boot, and - enable: False to make sure it is disabled.

   Compound Target
       A new target type has been added to the lineup, the compound target. In previous  versions
       the desired minions could only be targeted via a single specific target type, but now many
       target specifications can be declared.

       These targets can also be separated by and/or operators, so certain properties can be used
       to omit a node:

          salt -C 'webserv* and G@os:Debian or E@db.*' test.ping

       will  match all minions with ids starting with webserv via a glob and minions matching the
       os:Debian grain. Or minions that match the db.* regular expression.

   Node Groups
       Often the convenience of having a predefined group of minions to  execute  targets  on  is
       desired.  This  can  be accomplished with the new nodegroups feature. Nodegroups allow for
       predefined compound targets to be declared in the master configuration file:

          nodegroups:
            group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com and bl*.domain.com'
            group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'

       And then used via the -N option:

          salt -N group1 test.ping

   Minion Side Data Store
       The data module introduces the initial  approach  into  storing  persistent  data  on  the
       minions, specific to the minions. This allows for data to be stored on minions that can be
       accessed from the master or from the minion.

       The Minion datastore is young, and will eventually provide an interface similar to a  more
       mature key/value pair server.

   Major Grains Improvement
       The  Salt  grains  have  been  overhauled to include a massive amount of extra data.  this
       includes hardware data, os data and salt specific data.

   Salt -Q is Useful Now
       In the past the salt query system, which would display the  data  from  recent  executions
       would be displayed in pure Python, and it was unreadable.

       0.9.5 has added the outputter system to the -Q option, thus enabling the salt query system
       to return readable output.

   Packaging Updates
       Huge strides have been made in packaging  Salt  for  distributions.  These  additions  are
       thanks  to  our  wonderful  community  where  the  work  to  set up packages has proceeded
       tirelessly.

   FreeBSD
       Salt on FreeBSD? There a port for that:

       https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/sysutils/py-salt/

       This port was developed and added by Christer Edwards. This also marks the first time Salt
       has been included in an upstream packaging system!

   Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise
       Salt  packages  have been prepared for inclusion in the Fedora Project and in EPEL for Red
       Hat Enterprise 5 and 6. These packages are the result of the efforts made by Clint  Savage
       (herlo).

   Debian/Ubuntu
       A  team  of  many contributors have assisted in developing packages for Debian and Ubuntu.
       Salt is still actively seeking inclusion in upstream Debian and  Ubuntu  and  the  package
       data that has been prepared is being pushed through the needed channels for inclusion.

       These packages have been prepared with the help of:

       • Corey

       • Aaron Toponce

       • and`

   More to Come
       We  are  actively  seeking  inclusion  in  more distributions. Primarily getting Salt into
       Gentoo, SUSE,  OpenBSD,  and  preparing  Solaris  support  are  all  turning  into  higher
       priorities.

   Refinement
       Salt continues to be refined into a faster, more stable and more usable application. 0.9.5
       comes with more debug logging, more bug fixes and more complete support.

   More Testing, More BugFixes
       0.9.5 comes with more bugfixes due to more testing than any previous release.  The growing
       community  and the introduction a dedicated QA environment have unearthed many issues that
       were hiding under the covers. This has further refined and cleaned  the  state  interface,
       taking care of things from minor visual issues to repairing misleading data.

   Custom Exceptions
       A  custom  exception module has been added to throw salt specific exceptions.  This allows
       Salt to give much more granular error information.

   New Modules
   data
       The new data module  manages  a  persistent  datastore  on  the  minion.   Big  thanks  to
       bastichelaar for his help refining this module

   freebsdkmod
       FreeBSD  kernel  modules  can  now  be  managed  in the same way Salt handles Linux kernel
       modules.

       This module was contributed thanks to the efforts of Christer Edwards

   gentoo_service
       Support has been added for managing  services  in  Gentoo.  Now  Gentoo  services  can  be
       started, stopped, restarted, enabled, disabled, and viewed.

   pip
       The  pip  module  introduces  management  for  pip installed applications.  Thanks goes to
       whitinge for the addition of the pip module

   rh_service
       The rh_service module enables Red Hat and Fedora specific service management.  Now Red Hat
       like systems come with extensive management of the classic init system used by Red Hat

   saltutil
       The  saltutil  module  has been added as a place to hold functions used in the maintenance
       and management of salt itself. Saltutil is used to salt  the  salt  minion.  The  saltutil
       module is presently used only to sync extension modules from the master server.

   systemd
       Systemd support has been added to Salt, now systems using this next generation init system
       are supported on systems running systemd.

   virtualenv
       The virtualenv module has been added to allow salt to create virtual Python  environments.
       Thanks goes to whitinge for the addition of the virtualenv module

   win_disk
       Support  for  gathering  disk information on Microsoft Windows minions The windows modules
       come courtesy of Utah_Dave

   win_service
       The win_service module adds service support to Salt for Microsoft Windows services

   win_useradd
       Salt can now manage local users on Microsoft Windows Systems

   yumpkg5
       The yumpkg module introduces in 0.9.4 uses the yum API to interact with  the  yum  package
       manager.  Unfortunately,  on  Red  Hat  5 systems salt does not have access to the yum API
       because the yum API is running under Python 2.4 and Salt needs to run under Python 2.6.

       The yumpkg5 module bypasses this issue by shelling out to yum on systems where the yum API
       is not available.

   New States
   mysql_database
       The  new mysql_database state adds the ability to systems running a mysql server to manage
       the existence of mysql databases.

       The mysql states are thanks to syphernl

   mysql_user
       The mysql_user state enables mysql user management.

   virtualenv
       The virtualenv state can manage the state  of  Python  virtual  environments.   Thanks  to
       Whitinge for the virtualenv state

   New Returners
   cassandra_returner
       A  returner  allowing  Salt to send data to a cassandra server.  Thanks to Byron Clark for
       contributing this returner

       Salt 0.9.6 is a release targeting a few bugs and changes. This is primarily  targeting  an
       issue  found  in the names declaration in the state system. But a few other bugs were also
       repaired, like missing support for grains in extmods.

       Due to a conflict in distribution packaging msgpack will no longer be bundled  with  Salt,
       and is required as a dependency.

   New Features
   HTTP and ftp support in files.managed
       Now  under  the  source option in the file.managed state a HTTP or ftp address can be used
       instead of a file located on the salt master.

   Allow Multiple Returners
       Now the returner interface can define multiple returners, and will also return  data  back
       to the master, making the process less ambiguous.

   Minion Memory Improvements
       A  number  of modules have been taken out of the minion if the underlying systems required
       by said modules are not present on the minion system.  A number of other modules  need  to
       be stripped out in this same way which should continue to make the minion more efficient.

   Minions Can Locally Cache Return Data
       A  new  option,  cache_jobs,  has  been  added  to  the  minion  to  allow  for all of the
       historically run jobs to cache on the minion, allowing for looking up historic returns. By
       default cache_jobs is set to False.

   Pure Python Template Support For file.managed
       Templates  in  the  file.managed state can now be defined in a Python script.  This script
       needs to have a run function that returns the string that needs to be in the named file.

   Salt 0.9.7 Release Notes
       release
              2012-02-15

       Salt 0.9.7 is here! The latest iteration of Salt brings more features and many fixes. This
       release is a great refinement over 0.9.6, adding many conveniences under the hood, as well
       as some features that make working with Salt much better.

       A few highlights include the new Job  system,  refinements  to  the  requisite  system  in
       states,  the  mod_init  interface for states, external node classification, search path to
       managed files in the file state, and refinements and additions to dynamic module loading.

       0.9.7 also introduces the long developed (and oft changed) unit  test  framework  and  the
       initial unit tests.

   Major Features
   Salt Jobs Interface
       The  new  jobs  interface makes the management of running executions much cleaner and more
       transparent. Building on the existing execution framework the  jobs  system  allows  clear
       introspection into the active running state of the running Salt interface.

       The  Jobs  interface is centered in the new minion side proc system. The minions now store
       msgpack serialized files under /var/cache/salt/proc.  These files keep track of the active
       state of processes on the minion.

   Functions in the saltutil Module
       A number of functions have been added to the saltutil module to manage and view the jobs:

       running - Returns the data of all running jobs that are found in the proc directory.

       find_job - Returns specific data about a certain job based on job id.

       signal_job - Allows for a given jid to be sent a signal.

       term_job  -  Sends  a  termination  signal  (SIGTERM,  15)  to the process controlling the
       specified job.

       kill_job Sends a kill signal (SIGKILL, 9) to the process controlling the specified job.

   The jobs Runner
       A convenience runner front end and reporting system has been  added  as  well.   The  jobs
       runner contains functions to make viewing data easier and cleaner.

       The jobs runner contains a number of functions...

   active
       The active function runs saltutil.running on all minions and formats the return data about
       all running jobs in a much more usable and compact format.  The active function will  also
       compare  jobs  that have returned and jobs that are still running, making it easier to see
       what systems have completed a job and what systems are still being waited on.

   lookup_jid
       When jobs are executed the return data is sent back to the master and cached.  By  default
       is  cached for 24 hours, but this can be configured via the keep_jobs option in the master
       configuration.

       Using the lookup_jid runner will display  the  same  return  data  that  the  initial  job
       invocation with the salt command would display.

   list_jobs
       Before  finding  a  historic  job,  it may be required to find the job id.  list_jobs will
       parse the cached execution data and display all  of  the  job  data  for  jobs  that  have
       already, or partially returned.

   External Node Classification
       Salt can now use external node classifiers like Cobbler's cobbler-ext-nodes.

       Salt uses specific data from the external node classifier. In particular the classes value
       denotes which sls modules to run, and the environment value sets to another environment.

       An external node classification can be set  in  the  master  configuration  file  via  the
       external_nodes                                                                     option:
       https://salt.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ref/configuration/master.html#external-nodes

       External nodes are loaded in addition to the top files. If it  is  intended  to  only  use
       external nodes, do not deploy any top files.

   State Mod Init System
       An issue arose with the pkg state. Every time a package was run Salt would need to refresh
       the package database. This made systems with slower package metadata refresh  speeds  much
       slower to work with. To alleviate this issue the mod_init interface has been added to salt
       states.

       The mod_init interface is a function that can be added to a state file.  This function  is
       called  with  the  first state called. In the case of the pkg state, the mod_init function
       sets up a tag which makes the package database  only  refresh  on  the  first  attempt  to
       install a package.

       In a nutshell, the mod_init interface allows a state to run any command that only needs to
       be run once, or can be used to set up an environment for working with the state.

   Source File Search Path
       The file state continues to be refined, adding speed and capabilities. This  release  adds
       the ability to pass a list to the source option. This list is then iterated over until the
       source file is found, and the first found file is used.

       The new syntax looks like this:

          /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
            file:
              - managed
              - source:
                - salt://httpd/httpd.conf
                - http://myserver/httpd.conf: md5=8c1fe119e6f1fd96bc06614473509bf1

       The source option can take sources in the list from the salt file server  as  well  as  an
       arbitrary  web source. If using an arbitrary web source the checksum needs to be passed as
       well for file verification.

   Refinements to the Requisite System
       A few discrepancies were still lingering in the requisite system, in  particular,  it  was
       not  possible  to  have  a  require  and  a  watch  requisite  declared  in the same state
       declaration.

       This issue has been alleviated, as well as making the requisite system run more quickly.

   Initial Unit Testing Framework
       Because of the module system, and the need to test real scenarios, the  development  of  a
       viable  unit testing system has been difficult, but unit testing has finally arrived. Only
       a small amount of unit testing coverage has been developed, much more coverage will be  in
       place soon.

       A  huge  thanks goes out to those who have helped with unit testing, and the contributions
       that have been made to get us where we are. Without these contributions unit  tests  would
       still be in the dark.

   Compound Targets Expanded
       Originally  only  support for and and or were available in the compound target. 0.9.7 adds
       the capability to negate compound targets with not.

   Nodegroups in the Top File
       Previously the nodegroups defined in the master configuration file could not  be  used  to
       match  nodes  for  states.  The  nodegroups  support  has been expanded and the nodegroups
       defined in the master configuration can now be used to match minions in the top file.

   Salt 0.9.8 Release Notes
       release
              2012-03-21

       Salt 0.9.8 is a big step forward, with many additions  and  enhancements,  as  well  as  a
       number of precursors to advanced future developments.

       This version of Salt adds much more power to the command line, making the old hard timeout
       issues a thing of the past and adds keyword argument support.  These  additions  are  also
       available in the salt client API, making the available API tools much more powerful.

       The  new  pillar system allows for data to be stored on the master and assigned to minions
       in a granular way similar to the state system. It also allows flexibility  for  users  who
       want  to  keep  data out of their state tree similar to 'external lookup' functionality in
       other tools.

       A new way to extend requisites was added, the "requisite in" statement.  This makes adding
       requires or watch statements to external state decs much easier.

       Additions to requisites making them much more powerful have been added as well as improved
       error checking for sls files in the state system. A new provider system has been added  to
       allow for redirecting what modules run in the background for individual states.

       Support for openSUSE has been added and support for Solaris has begun serious development.
       Windows support has been significantly enhanced as well.

       The matcher and target systems have received  a  great  deal  of  attention.  The  default
       behavior  of  grain  matching  has  changed  slightly  to reflect the rest of salt and the
       compound matcher system has been refined.

       A number of impressive features with keyword arguments have been added to both the CLI and
       to  the  state system. This makes states much more powerful and flexible while maintaining
       the simple configuration everyone loves.

       The new batch size capability allows for executions  to  be  rolled  through  a  group  of
       targeted  minions a percentage or specific number at a time. This was added to prevent the
       "thundering herd" problem when targeting large numbers of minions for things like  service
       restarts or file downloads.

   Upgrade Considerations
   Upgrade Issues
       There was a previously missed oversight which could cause a newer minion to crash an older
       master. That oversight has been resolved so the  version  incompatibility  issue  will  no
       longer  occur.  When upgrading to 0.9.8 make sure to upgrade the master first, followed by
       the minions.

   Debian/Ubuntu Packages
       The original Debian/Ubuntu packages were called salt and included all  salt  applications.
       New packages in the ppa are split by function. If an old salt package is installed then it
       should be manually removed and the new split packages need to be freshly installed.

       On the master:

          # apt-get purge salt
          # apt-get install salt-{master,minion}

       On the minions:

          # apt-get purge salt
          # apt-get install salt-minion

       And on any Syndics:

          # apt-get install salt-syndic

       The      official      Salt      PPA      for      Ubuntu       is       located       at:
       https://launchpad.net/~saltstack/+archive/ubuntu/salt

   Major Features
   Pillar
       Pillar offers an interface to declare variable data on the master that is then assigned to
       the minions. The pillar data is made available to all modules, states, sls files  etc.  It
       is  compiled  on the master and is declared using the existing renderer system. This means
       that learning pillar should be fairly trivial to those already familiar with salt states.

   CLI Additions
       The salt command has received a serious overhaul and is more powerful than ever.  Data  is
       returned  to  the  terminal  as it is received, and the salt command will now wait for all
       running minions to return data before stopping.  This makes adding  very  large  --timeout
       arguments  completely  unnecessary and gets rid of long running operations returning empty
       {} when the timeout is exceeded.

       When calling salt via sudo, the user originally running salt  is  saved  to  the  log  for
       auditing  purposes.  This  makes  it  easy to see who ran what by just looking through the
       minion logs.

       The salt-key command gained the -D and --delete-all arguments for removing  all  keys.  Be
       careful with this one!

   Running States Without a Master
       The addition of running states without a salt-master has been added to 0.9.8. This feature
       allows for the unmodified salt state tree to be read locally from a minion. The result  is
       that  the UNMODIFIED state tree has just become portable, allowing minions to have a local
       copy of states or to manage states without a master entirely.

       This is accomplished via the new file client interface in Salt that allows for the salt://
       URI  to  be  redirected to custom interfaces. This means that there are now two interfaces
       for the salt file server, calling the  master  or  looking  in  a  local,  minion  defined
       file_roots.

       This new feature can be used by modifying the minion config to point to a local file_roots
       and setting the file_client option to local.

   Keyword Arguments and States
       State modules now accept the **kwargs argument. This results in all data  in  a  sls  file
       assigned to a state being made available to the state function.

       This  passes  data  in  a  transparent  way  back  to the modules executing the logic.  In
       particular, this allows adding arguments  to  the  pkg.install  module  that  enable  more
       advanced and granular controls with respect to what the state is capable of.

       An  example  of this along with the new debconf module for installing ldap client packages
       on Debian:

          ldap-client-packages:
            pkg:
              - debconf: salt://debconf/ldap-client.ans
              - installed
              - names:
                - nslcd
                - libpam-ldapd
                - libnss-ldapd

   Keyword Arguments and the CLI
       In the past it was required that all arguments be passed in the proper order to  the  salt
       and  salt-call  commands.  As  of  0.9.8,  keyword  arguments can be passed in the form of
       kwarg=argument.

          # salt -G 'type:dev' git.clone \
              repository=https://github.com/saltstack/salt.git cwd=/tmp/salt user=jeff

   Matcher Refinements and Changes
       A number of fixes and changes have been applied to the Matcher system. The most noteworthy
       is  the change in the grain matcher. The grain matcher used to use a regular expression to
       match the passed data to a grain, but now defaults to a shell glob like  the  majority  of
       match  interfaces  in  Salt. A new option is available that still uses the old style regex
       matching to grain data called grain-pcre. To use regex matching in  compound  matches  use
       the letter P.

       For example, this would match any ArchLinux or Fedora minions:

          # salt --grain-pcre 'os:(Arch:Fed).*' test.ping

       And the associated compound matcher suitable for top.sls is P:

          P@os:(Arch|Fed).*

       NOTE: Changing the grains matcher from pcre to glob is backwards incompatible.

       Support has been added for matching minions with Yahoo's range library. This is handled by
       passing range syntax with -R or --range arguments to salt.

       More                                    information                                    at:
       https://github.com/ytoolshed/range/wiki/%22yamlfile%22-module-file-spec

   Requisite in
       A  new  means  to updating requisite statements has been added to make adding watchers and
       requires to external states easier. Before 0.9.8 the only way to extend  the  states  that
       were watched by a state outside of the sls was to use an extend statement:

          include:
            - http
          extend:
            apache:
              service:
                - watch:
                  - pkg: tomcat

          tomcat:
            pkg:
              - installed

       But the new Requisite in statement allows for easier extends for requisites:

          include:
            - http

          tomcat:
            pkg:
              - installed
              - watch_in:
                - service: apache

       Requisite  in  is  part  of the extend system, so still remember to always include the sls
       that is being extended!

   Providers
       Salt predetermines what modules should be mapped to what uses based on the properties of a
       system.  These  determinations  are  generally  made  for modules that provide things like
       package and service management. The apt module maps to pkg on Debian and  the  yum  module
       maps to pkg on Fedora for instance.

       Sometimes  in  states,  it  may  be  necessary for a non-default module to be used for the
       desired functionality. For instance, an Arch Linux  system  may  have  been  set  up  with
       systemd  support. Instead of using the default service module detected for Arch Linux, the
       systemd module can be used:

          http:
            service:
              - running
              - enable: True
              - provider: systemd

       Default providers can also be defined in the minion config file:

          providers:
            service: systemd

       When default providers are passed in the minion  config,  then  those  providers  will  be
       applied  to  all functionality in Salt, this means that the functions called by the minion
       will use these modules, as well as states.

   Requisite Glob Matching
       Requisites can now be defined with glob expansion. This  means  that  if  there  are  many
       requisites, they can be defined on a single line.

       To watch all files in a directory:

          http:
            service:
              - running
              - enable: True
              - watch:
                - file: /etc/http/conf.d/*

       This example will watch all defined files that match the glob /etc/http/conf.d/*

   Batch Size
       The  new  batch  size option allows commands to be executed while maintaining that only so
       many hosts are executing the command at one time. This option can take a percentage  or  a
       finite number:

          salt '*' -b 10 test.ping

          salt -G 'os:RedHat' --batch-size 25% apache.signal restart

       This  will  only  run  test.ping  on 10 of the targeted minions at a time and then restart
       apache on 25% of the minions matching os:RedHat at a time and work through them all  until
       the  task  is  complete.  This  makes  jobs like rolling web server restarts behind a load
       balancer or doing maintenance on BSD firewalls using carp much easier with salt.

   Module Updates
       This is a list of notable, but non-exhaustive updates with new and existing modules.

       Windows support has seen a flurry of support this release  cycle.  We've  gained  all  new
       file, network, and shadow modules. Please note that these are still a work in progress.

       For  our  ruby  users,  new  rvm and gem modules have been added along with the associated
       states

       The virt module gained basic Xen support.

       The yum module gained Scientific Linux support.

       The pkg module on Debian, Ubuntu, and derivatives force apt to run  in  a  non-interactive
       mode. This prevents issues when package installation waits for confirmation.

       A pkg module for OpenSUSE's zypper was added.

       The service module on Ubuntu natively supports upstart.

       A  new  debconf module was contributed by our community for more advanced control over deb
       package deployments on Debian based distributions.

       The mysql.user state and mysql module gained a password_hash argument.

       The cmd module and state gained a shell keyword argument for specifying a shell other than
       /bin/sh on Linux / Unix systems.

       New git and mercurial modules have been added for fans of distributed version control.

   In Progress Development
   Master Side State Compiling
       While  we  feel  strongly  that the advantages gained with minion side state compiling are
       very critical, it does prevent certain features that may be desired. 0.9.8 has support for
       initial  master side state compiling, but many more components still need to be developed,
       it is hoped that these can be finished for 0.9.9.

       The goal is that states can be compiled on both the master and  the  minion  allowing  for
       compilation  to  be split between master and minion. Why will this be great? It will allow
       storing sensitive data on the master and sending it to some minions  without  all  minions
       having  access  to  it.  This  will be good for handling ssl certificates on front-end web
       servers for instance.

   Solaris Support
       Salt 0.9.8 sees the introduction of basic Solaris  support.  The  daemon  runs  well,  but
       grains and more of the modules need updating and testing.

   Windows Support
       Salt  states  on  windows  are  now  much  more  viable  thanks  to contributions from our
       community! States for file, service, local user, and local group management are more fully
       fleshed  out  along  with  network  and  disk  modules.  Windows users can also now manage
       registry entries using the new "reg" module.

   Salt 0.9.9 Release Notes
       release
              2012-04-27

       0.9.9 is out and comes with some serious bug fixes and even more  serious  features.  This
       release  is  the last major feature release before 1.0.0 and could be considered the 1.0.0
       release candidate.

       A few updates include more advanced kwargs support, the ability for salt  states  to  more
       safely  configure a running salt minion, better job directory management and the new state
       test interface.

       Many new tests have been added as well, including the new minion swarm  test  that  allows
       for  easier  testing of Salt working with large groups of minions.  This means that if you
       have experienced stability issues with Salt before, particularly  in  larger  deployments,
       that these bugs have been tested for, found, and killed.

   Major Features
   State Test Interface
       Until 0.9.9 the only option when running states to see what was going to be changed was to
       print out the highstate with state.show_highstate and  manually  look  it  over.  But  now
       states can be run to discover what is going to be changed.

       Passing  the option test=True to many of the state functions will now cause the salt state
       system to only check for what is going to be changed and report on those changes.

          salt '*' state.highstate test=True

       Now states that would have made changes report them back in yellow.

   State Syntax Update
       A shorthand syntax has been added to sls files, and it  will  be  the  default  syntax  in
       documentation  going  forward.  The  old  syntax  is still fully supported and will not be
       deprecated, but it is recommended to move to the new syntax in  the  future.  This  change
       moves the state function up into the state name using a dot notation. This is in-line with
       how state functions are generally referred to as well:

       The new way:

          /etc/sudoers:
            file.present:
              - source: salt://sudo/sudoers
              - user: root
              - mode: 400

   Use and Use_in Requisites
       Two new requisite statements are available in 0.9.9. The  use  and  use_in  requisite  and
       requisite-in  allow  for  the transparent duplication of data between states. When a state
       "uses" another state it copies the other state's arguments as defaults. This  was  created
       in  direct response to the new network state, and allows for many network interfaces to be
       configured in the same way easily. A simple example:

          root_file:
            file.absent:
              - name: /tmp/nothing
              - user: root
              - mode: 644
              - group: root
              - use_in:
                - file: /etc/vimrc

          fred_file:
            file.absent:
              - name: /tmp/nothing
              - user: fred
              - group: marketing
              - mode: 660

          /files/marketing/district7.rst:
            file.present:
              - source: salt://marketing/district7.rst
              - template: jinja
              - use:
                - file: fred_file

          /etc/vimrc:
            file.present:
              - source: salt://edit/vimrc

       This makes the 2 lower state decs inherit the options from their respectively "used" state
       decs.

   Network State
       The  new network state allows for the configuration of network devices via salt states and
       the ip salt module. This addition has been given to the project by Jeff Hutchins and  Bret
       Palsson from Jive Communications.

       Currently  the  only network configuration backend available is for Red Hat based systems,
       like Red Hat Enterprise, CentOS, and Fedora.

   Exponential Jobs
       Originally  the   jobs   executed   were   stored   on   the   master   in   the   format:
       <cachedir>/jobs/jid/{minion  ids}  But  this  format  restricted the number of jobs in the
       cache to the number of subdirectories allowed on the filesystem. Ext3 for instance  limits
       subdirectories   to   32000.   To   combat   this   the   new   format   for   0.9.9   is:
       <cachedir>/jobs/jid_hash[:2]/jid_hash[2:]/{minion ids} So that now the number  of  maximum
       jobs  that  can  be  run  before the cleanup cycle hits the job directory is substantially
       higher.

   ssh_auth Additions
       The original ssh_auth state was limited to accepting only arguments to apply to  a  public
       key,  and  the  key  itself.  This was restrictive due to the way the we learned that many
       people were using the state, so the key section has been expanded to  accept  options  and
       arguments  to the key that over ride arguments passed in the state. This gives substantial
       power to using ssh_auth with names:

          sshkeys:
            ssh_auth:
              - present
              - user: backup
              - enc: ssh-dss
              - options:
                - option1="value1"
                - option2="value2 flag2"
              - comment: backup
              - names:

   LocalClient Additions
       To follow up the recent additions in 0.9.8 of additional kwargs support, 0.9.9  also  adds
       the  capability to send kwargs into commands via a dict.  This addition to the LocalClient
       api can be used like so:

          import salt.client

          client = salt.client.LocalClient("/etc/salt/master")
          ret = client.cmd("*", "cmd.run", ["ls -l"], kwarg={"cwd": "/etc"})

       This update has been added to all cmd methods in the LocalClient class.

   Better Self Salting
       One problem faced with running Salt states, is that it has been difficult  to  manage  the
       Salt  minion  via  states, this is due to the fact that if the minion is called to restart
       while a state run is happening then the state run would be killed. 0.9.9 slightly  changes
       the  process  scope  of the state runs, so now when salt is executing states it can safely
       restart the salt-minion daemon.

       In addition to daemonizing the state run, the apt module  also  daemonizes.   This  update
       makes  it  possible  to  cleanly  update  the salt-minion package on Debian/Ubuntu systems
       without leaving apt in  an  inconsistent  state  or  killing  the  active  minion  process
       mid-execution.

   Wildcards for SLS Modules
       Now,  when including sls modules in include statements or in the top file, shell globs can
       be used. This can greatly simplify listing matched sls modules in the top file and include
       statements:

          base:
            '*':
              - files*
              - core*

          include:
            - users.dev.*
            - apache.ser*

   External Pillar
       Since  the  pillar  data is just, data, it does not need to come expressly from the pillar
       interface. The external pillar system allows for hooks to be added making it  possible  to
       extract  pillar  data from any arbitrary external interface. The external pillar interface
       is configured via the ext_pillar option. Currently interfaces  exist  to  gather  external
       pillar data via hiera or via a shell command that sends yaml data to the terminal:

          ext_pillar:
            - cmd_yaml: cat /etc/salt/ext.yaml
            - hiera: /etc/hirea.yaml

       The  initial  external  pillar  interfaces  and  extra interfaces can be added to the file
       salt/pillar.py, it is planned to add more external pillar interfaces.  If the need  arises
       a  new  module  loader  interface  will be created in the future to manage external pillar
       interfaces.

   Single State Executions
       The new state.single function allows for single states to be cleanly executed.  This is  a
       great  tool  for  setting  up  a  small group of states on a system or for testing out the
       behavior of single states:

          salt '*' state.single user.present name=wade uid=2000

       The test interface functions here as well, so changes can also be tested against as:

          salt '*' state.single user.present name=wade uid=2000 test=True

   New Tests
       A few exciting new test interfaces have been added,  the  minion  swarm  allows  not  only
       testing  of  larger loads, but also allows users to see how Salt behaves with large groups
       of minions without having to create a large deployment.

   Minion Swarm
       The minion swarm test system allows for large groups  of  minions  to  be  tested  against
       easily  without  requiring  large numbers of servers or virtual machines. The minion swarm
       creates as many minions as a system can handle and roots them in the  /tmp  directory  and
       connects them to a master.

       The  benefit here is that we were able to replicate issues that happen only when there are
       large numbers of minions. A number of elusive bugs which were causing stability issues  in
       masters  and minions have since been hunted down.  Bugs that used to take careful watch by
       users over several days can now be reliably replicated in minutes, and fixed in minutes.

       Using the swarm is easy, make sure a master is up for the swarm to connect  to,  and  then
       use  the  minionswarm.py  script  in the tests directory to spin up as many minions as you
       want. Remember, this is a fork bomb, don't spin up more than your hardware can handle!

          python minionswarm.py -m 20 --master salt-master

   Shell Tests
       The new Shell testing system allows us to test the behavior of commands  executed  from  a
       high  level.  This  allows  for  the  high level testing of salt runners and commands like
       salt-key.

   Client Tests
       Tests have been added to test the aspects of the client APIs and ensure  that  the  client
       calls work, and that they manage passed data, in a desirable way.

   Upcoming Release
   Salt 3004 Release Notes - Codename Silicon
   New Features
   Transactional System Support (MicroOS)
       A transactional system, like MicroOS, can present some challenges when the user decided to
       manage it via Salt.

       MicroOS provide a read-only rootfs and a tool, transactional-update, that  takes  care  of
       the  management  of the system (updating, upgrading, installation or reboot, among others)
       in an atomic way.

       Atomicity is the main feature of MicroOS, and  to  guarantee  this  property,  this  model
       leverages  snapper,  zypper,  btrfs and overlayfs to create snapshots that will be updated
       independently of the currently running system, and that are activated  after  the  reboot.
       This  implies, for example, that some changes made on the system are not visible until the
       next reboot, as those changes are living in a different snapshot of the file system.

       Salt 3004 (Silicon) support this type of system via two new modules  (transactional_update
       and rebootmgr) and a new executor (transactional_update).

       The  new  modules  will  provide  all the low level API for interacting with transactional
       systems, like defining a mantenance window where the system is free to reboot and activate
       the  new  state, or install new software in a new transaction.  It will also provide hight
       level of abstractions that will allows us to execute Salt  module  functions  or  applying
       states inside new transactions.

       The  execution  module  will help us to treat the transactional system transparently (like
       the traditional ones), using a mechanism that will delegate some  Salt  modules  execution
       into the new transactional_update module.

   Removed
       • Removed  the  deprecated  glance state and execution module in favor of the glance_image
         state module and the glanceng execution module. (#59079)

       • Removed support for Ubuntu 16.04 (#59869)

       • Removed the deprecated support for gid_from_name from the user state module (#60565)

   Salt 3004.1 Release Notes
       Version 3004.1 is a CVE security fix release for 3004.

   Important notice about upgrading
       Version  3004.1  is  a  security  release. 3004.1 minions are not able to communicate with
       masters older than 3004.1. You must upgrade your masters before upgrading minions.

   Minion authentication security
       Authentication between masters and minions  rely  on  public/private  key  encryption  and
       message  signing.  To  secure  minion authentication before you must pre-seed the master's
       public key on minions. To pre-seed the minions' master key, place a copy of  the  master's
       public key in the minion's pki directory as minion_master.pub.

   Security
       • Sign authentication replies to prevent MiTM (cve-2022-22935)

       • Prevent job and fileserver replays (cve-2022-22936)

       • Sign pillar data to prevent MiTM attacks. (cve-2202-22934)

       • Fixed   targeting   bug,   especially   visible   when   using  syndic  and  user  auth.
         (CVE-2022-22941) (#60413)

       • Fix denial of service in junos ifconfig output parsing.

VENAFI TOOLS FOR SALT

   Introduction
       First, you need to configure the master file. This is because all module functions require
       either  a  configured api_key (for Cloud) or a ttp_user with a tpp_password and a base_url
       (for Trust Platform).

       For Venafi Cloud:

          venafi:
            api_key: abcdef01-2345-6789-abcd-ef0123456789
            base_url: "https://cloud.venafi.example.com/"    (optional)

       If you don't have a Venafi Cloud account, you can sign up for one on the enrollment page.

       For Venafi Platform:

          venafi:
            base_url: "https://tpp.example.com/"
            tpp_user: admin
            tpp_password: "Str0ngPa$$w0rd"
            trust_bundle: "/opt/venafi/bundle.pem"

       It is not common for the Venafi Platform's  REST  API  (WebSDK)  to  be  secured  using  a
       certificate  issued by a publicly trusted CA, therefore establishing trust for that server
       certificate is a critical part of your configuration. Ideally this is  done  by  obtaining
       the  root  CA certificate in the issuing chain in PEM format and copying that file to your
       Salt Master  (e.g.  /opt/venafi/bundle.pem).  You  then  reference  that  file  using  the
       'trust_bundle' parameter as shown above.

       For  the  Venafi module to create keys and certificates it is necessary to enable external
       pillars. This is done by adding the following to the /etc/salt/master file:

          ext_pillar:
            - venafi: True

   Runner Functions
   request
       This command is used to enroll a certificate from Venafi Cloud or Venafi Platform.

       minion_id
              ID of the minion for which the certificate is being issued. Required.

       dns_name
              DNS subject name for the certificate. Required if csr_path is not specified.

       csr_path
              Full path name of certificate signing request file to enroll. Required if  dns_name
              is not specified.

       zone   Venafi  Cloud  zone  ID  or Venafi Platform folder that specify key and certificate
              policy. Defaults to "Default". For Venafi Cloud, the Zone ID can be  found  in  the
              Zone page for your Venafi Cloud project.

       org_unit
              Business Unit, Department, etc. Do not specify if it does not apply.

       org    Exact legal name of your organization. Do not abbreviate.

       loc    City/locality where your organization is legally located.

       state  State  or  province  where  your  organization  is  legally  located.  Must  not be
              abbreviated.

       country
              Country where your organization is legally located; two-letter ISO code.

       key_password
              Password for encrypting the private key.

       The syntax for requesting a new certificate with private key generation looks like this:

          salt-run venafi.request minion.example.com dns_name=www.example.com \
          country=US state=California loc=Sacramento org="Company Name" org_unit=DevOps \
          zone=Internet key_password=SecretSauce

       And the syntax for requesting a new certificate using a  previously  generated  CSR  looks
       like this:

          salt-run venafi.request minion.example.com csr_path=/tmp/minion.req zone=Internet

   show_cert
       This command is used to show last issued certificate for domain.

       dns_name
              DNS subject name of the certificate to look up.

          salt-run venafi.show_cert www.example.com

   list_domain_cache
       This command lists domains that have been cached on this Salt Master.

          salt-run venafi.list_domain_cache

   del_cached_domain
       This command deletes a domain from the Salt Master's cache.

       domains
              A  domain  name,  or  a  comma-separated  list of domain names, to delete from this
              master's cache.

          salt-run venafi.del_cached_domain www.example.com

   Transfer certificate to a minion
       To transfer a cached certificate to a minion, you can use Venafi pillar.

       Example state (SLS) file:

          /etc/ssl/cert/www.example.com.crt:
            file.managed:
                - contents_pillar: venafi:www.example.com:cert
                - replace: True

          /etc/ssl/cert/www.example.com.key:
            file.managed:
                - contents_pillar: venafi:www.example.com:pkey
                - replace: True

          /etc/ssl/cert/www.example.com-chain.pem:
            file.managed:
                - contents_pillar: venafi:www.example.com:chain
                - replace: True

GLOSSARY

       Auto-Order
              The evaluation of states in the order that they are defined  in  a  SLS  file.  See
              also: ordering.

       Bootstrap
              A  stand-alone  Salt  project which can download and install a Salt master and/or a
              Salt minion onto a host. See also: salt-bootstrap.

       Compound Matcher
              A combination of  many  target  definitions  that  can  be  combined  with  boolean
              operators. See also: targeting.

       EAuth  Shorthand  for  'external authentication'. A system for calling to a system outside
              of Salt in order to authenticate users and determine if they are allowed  to  issue
              particular commands to Salt. See also: external auth.

       Environment
              A  directory tree containing state files which can be applied to minions. See also:
              top file.

       Execution Function
              A Python function inside an Execution Module that may take arguments  and  performs
              specific system-management tasks. See also: the list of execution modules.

       External Job Cache
              An  external data-store that can archive information about jobs that have been run.
              A default returner. See also: ext_job_cache, the list of returners.

       Execution Module
              A Python module that contains execution functions which  directly  perform  various
              system-management  tasks on a server. Salt ships with a number of execution modules
              but users can also write their own execution modules to perform specialized  tasks.
              See also: the list of execution modules.

       External Pillar
              A module that accepts arbitrary arguments and returns a dictionary.  The dictionary
              is automatically added to a pillar for a minion.

       Event  A notice emitted onto an event bus. Events are often driven by requests for actions
              to  occur  on  a  minion or master and the results of those actions. See also: Salt
              Reactor.

       File Server
              A local or remote location for storing both Salt-specific files such as  top  files
              or  SLS  files  as well as files that can be distributed to minions, such as system
              configuration files. See also: Salt's file server.

       Grain  A key-value pair which contains a fact  about  a  system,  such  as  its  hostname,
              network addresses. See also: targeting with grains.

       Highdata
              The  data  structure  in a SLS file the represents a set of state declarations. See
              also: state layers.

       Highstate
              The collection of states to be applied to a system. See also: state layers.

       Idempotent
              An action that ensures the system is  in  a  well-known  state  regardless  of  the
              system's  state before the action is applied.  A corollary to this is that applying
              the action multiple times results in  no  changes  to  the  system.   State  module
              functions  should  be idempotent.  Some state module functions, such as cmd.run are
              not idempotent by default but can  be  made  idempotent  with  the  proper  use  of
              requisites such as unless and onlyif. For more information, see wikipedia.

       Jinja  A  templating  language  which  allows variables and simple logic to be dynamically
              inserted into static text files when they are rendered.   See  also:  Salt's  Jinja
              documentation.

       Job    The  complete set of tasks to be performed by the execution of a Salt command are a
              single job. See also: jobs runner.

       Job Cache
              A storage location for job results, which may then be queried by a salt  runner  or
              an external system. May be local to a salt master or stored externally.

       Job ID A unique identifier to represent a given job.  This is often shortened to JID.

       Low State
              The  collection  of  processed states after requisites and order are evaluated. See
              also: state layers.

       Master A central Salt daemon from which commands can be issued to listening minions.

       Masterless
              A minion which does not require a Salt master  to  operate.  All  configuration  is
              local. See also: file_client.

       Master Tops
              A  system  for  the  master that allows hooks into external systems to generate top
              file data.

       Mine   A facility to collect arbitrary data from  minions  and  store  that  data  on  the
              master.  This  data is then available to all other minions.  (Sometimes referred to
              as Salt Mine.) See also: Salt Mine.

       Minion A server running a Salt minion daemon which can listen to commands  from  a  master
              and  perform  the  requested  tasks. Generally, minions are servers which are to be
              controlled using Salt.

       Minion ID
              A globally unique identifier for a minion. See also: id.

       Multi-Master

              same time in high-availability environments.

       Node Group
              A pre-defined group of minions declared in the master configuration file. See also:
              targeting.

       Outputter
              A formatter for defining the characteristics of output data from  a  Salt  command.
              See also: list of outputters.

       Peer Communication
              The  ability  for  minions  to  communicate  directly with other minions instead of
              brokering commands through the Salt master. See also: peer communication.

       Pillar A simple key-value store for user-defined data to be made available  to  a  minion.
              Often  used  to  store and distribute sensitive data to minions.  See also: Pillar,
              list of Pillar modules.

       Proxy Minion
              A minion which can control devices that are unable to run a  Salt  minion  locally,
              such as routers and switches.

       PyDSL  A  Pythonic  domain-specific-language used as a Salt renderer. PyDSL can be used in
              cases where adding pure Python into SLS files is beneficial.  See also: PyDSL.

       Reactor
              An interface for listening to events and defining actions that  Salt  should  taken
              upon receipt of given events. See also: Reactor.

       Render Pipe
              Allows SLS files to be rendered by multiple renderers, with each renderer receiving
              the output of the previous. See also: composing renderers.

       Renderer
              Responsible for translating a given data serialization format such as YAML or  JSON
              into  a  Python  data  structure  that  can be consumed by Salt.  See also: list of
              renderers.

       Returner
              Allows for the results of a Salt command to be sent to a given data-store such as a
              database or log file for archival. See also: list of returners.

       Roster A flat-file list of target hosts. (Currently only used by salt-ssh.)

       Runner Module
              A module containing a set of runner functions. See also: list of runner modules.

       Runner Function
              A  function  which  is  called  by  the salt-run command and executes on the master
              instead of on a minion. See also: Runner Module.

       Salt Cloud
              A suite of tools used to create and deploy systems on many hosted cloud  providers.
              See also: salt-cloud.

       Salt SSH
              A  configuration  management  and remote orchestration system that does not require
              that any software besides SSH be installed on systems to be controlled.

       Salt Thin
              A subset of the normal Salt  distribution  that  does  not  include  any  transport
              routines.  A  Salt Thin bundle can be dropped onto a host and used directly without
              any requirement that the host be connected to a network.  Used  by  Salt  SSH.  See
              also: thin runner.

       Salt Virt
              Used  to  manage the creation and deployment of virtual machines onto a set of host
              machines. Often used to create and deploy private clouds.  See also: virt runner.

       SLS Module
              Contains a set of state declarations.

       State Compiler
              Translates highdata into lowdata.

       State Declaration
              A data structure which contains a unique ID and describes one or more states  of  a
              system such as ensuring that a package is installed or a user is defined. See also:
              highstate structure.

       State Function
              A function contained inside a state module which can manages the application  of  a
              particular  state  to  a system. State functions frequently call out to one or more
              execution modules to perform a given task.

       State Module
              A module which contains a set of state functions. See also: list of state modules.

       State Run
              The application of a set of states on a set of systems.

       Syndic A forwarder which can relay messages between tiered masters. See also: Syndic.

       Target Minion(s) to which a given salt command will apply. See also: targeting.

       Top File
              Determines which SLS files should be applied to various systems and organizes those
              groups  of  systems  into  environments.  See  also:  top  file, list of master top
              modules.

       __virtual__
              A function in a module that is called on module load to determine  whether  or  not
              the  module  should be available to a minion. This function commonly contains logic
              to determine if all requirements for a  module  are  available,  such  as  external
              libraries.

       Worker A master process which can send notices and receive replies from minions. See also:
              worker_threads.
