Node group
A predefined group of minions declared in the master configuration file
:conf_master:`nodegroups` setting as a compound target.
Nodegroups are declared using a compound target specification. The compount
target documentation can be found here:
:doc:`Compound Matchers <compound>`
For example, in the master config file :conf_master:`nodegroups` setting::
nodegroups:
group1: 'L@foo.domain.com,bar.domain.com,baz.domain.com and bl*.domain.com'
group2: 'G@os:Debian and foo.domain.com'
Specify a nodegroup via the ``-N`` option at the command-line::
salt -N group1 test.ping
Specify a nodegroup with ``- match: nodegroup`` in a :term:`top file`::
base:
group1:
- match: nodegroup
- webserver
