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 :term:`top file` specifies that only

|
|
|
the ``web1`` minion should execute the contents of ``webserver.sls``:

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
base:
|
|
|
|
|
'web1':
|
|
|
|
|
- webserver
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
There are many ways to target individual minions or groups of minions in Salt:
