* Added the ability to configure the log levels for the console logger separate from the logfile logger. The log level provided from the cli script will override the console log level set on the configuration file but not the logfile logger setting, unless theres no setting for the logfile setting in which case it will be the same as the console log level.
* Added the ability to provide the logging formats for both the console and the logfile.
* Added the ability to provide the date format to be used.
* The module name formatting("%(name)s") now remembers the widest name, this will improve log readability.
* Also catch `KeyboardInterrupt`s while the minion is waiting to connect to the master and not just on `minion.tune_in()`.
All these new configuration settings are documented on the configuration file templates.
Bugfixes:
- handle case where 'include' option has an empty value
- globs were not handled correctly
- warning issued if any include option fails to match any files; this
may be deliberate by the user, but it's there to catch the case where
someone typos the path
Documentation updated with a few examples of how to use it. Minion
template config file also updated with similar examples.
Range is a cluster based metadata store. It was used internally at
yahoo and recently open source. You can read about range here:
https://github.com/grierj/range/wiki/Introduction-to-Range-with-YAML-files
Range allows arbitrary grouping of hosts via clusters and the storage
of metadata along with them. Additionally there is a powerful DSL that
allows for set operations, regexes, and multilayer cluster referencing.
The implementation here runs the range query and reduces it to a list
style expression format, which means only the salt master needs to know
about range or have the range libraries installed.
