salt/conf/minion

##### Primary configuration settings #####
##########################################
# Set the location of the salt master server, if the master server cannot be
# resolved, then the minion will fail to start
#master: salt

# Set the post used by the master reply and authentication server
#master_port: 4506

# The root directory prepended to these options: pki_dir, cachedir, log_file.
#root_dir: /

# The directory to store the pki information in
#pki_dir: /etc/salt/pki

# Explicitly declare the id for this minion to use, if left commented the id
# will be the hostname as returned by the python call: socket.getfqdn()
# Since salt uses detached ids it is possible to run multiple minions on the
# same machine but with different ids, this can be useful for salt compute
# clusters.
#id:

# The minion connection to the master may be inturupted, the minion will
# verify the connection every so many seconds, to disable connection
# verification set this value to 0
#sub_timeout: 60

# Where cache data goes
#cachedir: /var/cache/salt

# When waiting for a master to accept the minion's public key, salt will
# contiuously attempt to reconnect until successful. This is the time, in
# seconds, between those reconnection attempts.
# acceptance_wait_time = 10



#####   Minion module management     #####
##########################################
# Disable specific modules, this will allow the admin to limit the level os
# access the master has to the minion
#disable_modules: [cmd,test]
#disable_returners: []
# Modules can be loaded from arbitrary paths, this enables the easy deployment
# of third party modules, modules for returners and minions can be loaded.
# Specify a list of extra directories to search for minion modules and
# returners. These paths must be fully qualified!
#module_dirs: []
#returner_dirs: []
#states_dirs: []
#render_dirs: []
# Enable Cython modules searching and loading. (Default: False)
#cython_enable: False

#####    State Management Settings    #####
###########################################
# The state management system executes all of the state templates on the minion
# to enable more granular control of system state management. The type of
# template and serialization used for state management needs to be configured
# on the minion, the default renderer is yaml_jinja. This is a yaml file
# rendered from a jinja template, the available options are:
# yaml_jinja
# yaml_mako
# json_jinja
# json_mako
#
#renderer: yaml_jinja
#
# state_verbose allows for the data returned from the minion to be more
# verbose. Normaly only states that fail or states that have changes are
# returned, but setting state_verbose to True will return all states that
# were checked
#state_verbose: False
#
# autoload_dynamic_modules Turns on automatic loading of modules found in the
# environments on the master. This is turned on by default, to turn of
# autoloading modules when states run set this value to False
#autoload_dynamic_modules: True
#
# clean_dynamic_modules keeps the dynamic modules on the minion in sync with
# the dynamic modules on the master, this means that if a dynamic module is
# not on the master it will be deleted from the minion. By default this is
# enabled and can be disabled by changing this value to False
#clean_dynamic_modules: True

######        Security settings       #####
###########################################
# Enable "open mode", this mode still maintains encryption, but turns off
# authentication, this is only intended for highly secure environments or for
# the situation where your keys end up in a bad state. If you run in open mode
# you do so at your own risk!
#open_mode: False


######         Thread settings        #####
###########################################
# Disable multiprocessing support, by default when a minion receives a
# publication a new process is spawned and the command is executed therein.
#multiprocessing: True

######         Logging settings       #####
###########################################
# The location of the minion log file
#log_file: /var/log/salt/minion
# The level of messages to send to the log file.
# One of 'info', 'quiet', 'critical', 'error', 'debug', 'warning'.
# Default: 'warning'
#log_level: warning
#
# Logger levels can be used to tweak specific loggers logging levels.
# Imagine you want to have the salt library at the 'warning' level, but, you
# still wish to have 'salt.modules' at the 'debug' level:
#   log_granular_levels: {
#     'salt': 'warning',
#     'salt.modules': 'debug'
#   }
#
#log_granular_levels: {}

######      Module configuration      #####
###########################################
# Salt allows for modules to be passed arbitrary configuration data, any data
# passed here in valid yaml format will be passed on to the salt minion modules
# for use. It is STRONGLY recommended that a naming convention be used in which
# the module name is followed by a . and then the value. Also, all top level
# data must be allied via the yaml dict construct, some examples:
#
# A simple value for the test module:
#test.foo: foo
#
# A list for the test module:
#test.bar: [baz,quo]
#
# A dict for the test module:
#test.baz: {spam: sausage, cheese: bread}
