This directory contains the configuration files for Salt master and minions. The default location on most systems is \fB/etc/salt\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-g, \-\-grains Return the information generated by the Salt grains .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-m MODULE_DIRS, \-\-module\-dirs=MODULE_DIRS Specify an additional directories to pull modules from, multiple directories can be delimited by commas .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-d, \-\-doc, \-\-documentation Return the documentation for the specified module or for all modules if none are specified .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-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. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-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. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-local Run salt\-call locally, as if there was no master running. .UNINDENT .SS Logging Options .sp Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files. .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-l LOG_LEVEL, \-\-log\-level=LOG_LEVEL Console logging log level. One of \fBall\fP, \fBgarbage\fP, \fBtrace\fP, \fBdebug\fP, \fBinfo\fP, \fBwarning\fP, \fBerror\fP, \fBquiet\fP\&. Default: \fBinfo\fP\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-log\-file=LOG_FILE Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion\&. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-log\-file\-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE Logfile logging log level. One of \fBall\fP, \fBgarbage\fP, \fBtrace\fP, \fBdebug\fP, \fBinfo\fP, \fBwarning\fP, \fBerror\fP, \fBquiet\fP\&. Default: \fBinfo\fP\&. .UNINDENT .SS Output Options .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-out Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any of the available outputters: .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 \fBgrains\fP, \fBhighstate\fP, \fBjson\fP, \fBkey\fP, \fBoverstatestage\fP, \fBpprint\fP, \fBraw\fP, \fBtxt\fP, \fByaml\fP .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .sp Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions; for instance, the \fBgrains\fP outputter will not work for non\-grains data. .sp If an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt will fall back on the \fBpprint\fP outputter and display the return data using the Python \fBpprint\fP standard library module. .sp \fBNOTE:\fP .INDENT 7.0 .INDENT 3.5 If using \fB\-\-out=json\fP, you will probably want \fB\-\-static\fP 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 \fB\-\-static\fP as well. .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-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. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-out\-file=OUTPUT_FILE, \-\-output\-file=OUTPUT_FILE Write the output to the specified file. .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-no\-color Disable all colored output .UNINDENT .INDENT 0.0 .TP .B \-\-force\-color Force colored output .UNINDENT .SH SEE ALSO .sp \fIsalt(1)\fP \fIsalt\-master(1)\fP \fIsalt\-minion(1)\fP .SH AUTHOR Thomas S.
