       salt-call - salt-call Documentation

SYNOPSIS

          salt-call [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  salt-call command is used to run module functions locally on a minion instead of executing them from
       the master.

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.

       -g, --grains
              Return the information generated by the Salt grains

       -m MODULE_DIRS, --module-dirs=MODULE_DIRS
              Specify  an  additional directories to pull modules from, multiple directories can be delimited by
              commas

       -d, --doc, --documentation
              Return the documentation for the specified module or for all modules if none are specified

       --master=MASTER
              Specify the master to use. The minion must be authenticated with the master.  If  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.

   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: info.

       --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: info.

   Output Options
       --out  Pass  in  an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any of the
              available outputters:
                 grains, highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml

              Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions;  for  instance,  the
              grains outputter will not work for non-grains data.

              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.

              NOTE:
                 If using --out=json, you will probably want --static as well.  Without the static  option,  you
                 will get a JSON string for each minion.  This is due to using an iterative outputter. So if you
                 want to feed it to a JSON parser, use --static as well.

       --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.

       --no-color
              Disable all colored output

       --force-color
              Force colored output
