Pillar data can be used when targeting minions. This allows for ultimate
|
|
|
|
|
control and flexibility when targeting minions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
salt -I 'somekey:specialvalue' test.ping

Like with :ref:`Grains <targeting-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``:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: bash
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
salt -I 'foo:bar:baz*' test.ping
|
