Minion Data Cache
=================
The Minion data cache contains the Salt Mine data, minion grains and minion
pillar info cached on the Salt master. By default Salt uses the `localfs` cache
module to save the data in a msgpack file on the Salt master. Other external
data stores can also be used to store this data such as the `Consul` module.
See :ref:`cache modules <all-salt.cache>` for a current list.
Configuring the Minion Data Cache
=================================
The default `localfs` Minion data cache module doesn't require any
configuration. External data cache modules with external data stores such as
Consul require a configuration setting in the master config.
Here's an example config for Consul:
.. code-block:: yaml
consul.host: 127.0.0.1
consul.port: 8500
consul.token: None
consul.scheme: http
consul.consistency: default
consul.dc: dc1
consul.verify: True
cache: consul
