.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
Salt allows for commands to be executed across a swath of remote systems in
parallel. This means that remote systems can be both controlled and queried
with ease.
.SH OPTIONS
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-version
Print the version of Salt that is running.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-versions\-report
Show program\(aqs dependencies and version number, and then exit
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-h, \-\-help
Show the help message and exit
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-c CONFIG_DIR, \-\-config\-dir=CONFIG_dir
The location of the Salt configuration directory. 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 \-t TIMEOUT, \-\-timeout=TIMEOUT
The timeout in seconds to wait for replies from the Salt minions. The
timeout number specifies how long the command line client will wait to
query the minions and check on running jobs. Default: 5
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-s, \-\-static
By default as of version 0.9.8 the salt command returns data to the
console as it is received from minions, but previous releases would return
data only after all data was received. Use the static option to only return
the data with a hard timeout and after all minions have returned.
Without the static option, you will get a separate JSON string per minion
which makes JSON output invalid as a whole.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-async
Instead of waiting for the job to run on minions only print the job id of
the started execution and complete.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-state\-output=STATE_OUTPUT
New in version 0.17.
.sp
Override the configured \fBstate_output\fP value for minion output. One of
\fBfull\fP, \fBterse\fP, \fBmixed\fP, \fBchanges\fP or \fBfilter\fP\&. Default:
\fBfull\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-subset=SUBSET
Execute the routine on a random subset of the targeted minions. The
minions will be verified that they have the named function before
executing.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-v VERBOSE, \-\-verbose
Turn on verbosity for the salt call, this will cause the salt command to
print out extra data like the job id.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-hide\-timeout
Instead of showing the return data for all minions. This option
prints only the online minions which could be reached.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-b BATCH, \-\-batch\-size=BATCH
Instead of executing on all targeted minions at once, execute on a
progressive set of minions. This option takes an argument in the form of
an explicit number of minions to execute at once, or a percentage of
minions to execute on.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-a EAUTH, \-\-auth=EAUTH
Pass in an external authentication medium to validate against. The
credentials will be prompted for. The options are \fIauto\fP,
\fIkeystone\fP, \fIldap\fP, \fIpam\fP, and \fIstormpath\fP\&. Can be used with the \-T
option.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-T, \-\-make\-token
Used in conjunction with the \-a option. This creates a token that allows
for the authenticated user to send commands without needing to
re\-authenticate.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-return=RETURNER
Choose an alternative returner to call on the minion, if an
alternative returner is used then the return will not come back to
the command line but will be sent to the specified return system.
The options are \fIcarbon\fP, \fIcassandra\fP, \fIcouchbase\fP, \fIcouchdb\fP,
\fIelasticsearch\fP, \fIetcd\fP, \fIhipchat\fP, \fIlocal\fP, \fIlocal_cache\fP,
\fImemcache\fP, \fImongo\fP, \fImysql\fP, \fIodbc\fP, \fIpostgres\fP, \fIredis\fP,
\fIsentry\fP, \fIslack\fP, \fIsms\fP, \fIsmtp\fP, \fIsqlite3\fP, \fIsyslog\fP, and \fIxmpp\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-d, \-\-doc, \-\-documentation
Return the documentation for the module functions available on the minions
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-args\-separator=ARGS_SEPARATOR
Set the special argument used as a delimiter between command arguments of
compound commands. This is useful when one wants to pass commas as
arguments to some of the commands in a compound command.
.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:
\fBwarning\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-log\-file=LOG_FILE
Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/master\&.
.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:
\fBwarning\fP\&.
.UNINDENT
.SS Target Selection
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-E, \-\-pcre
The target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular expression
rather than a shell glob.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-L, \-\-list
The target expression will be interpreted as a comma\-delimited list;
example: server1.foo.bar,server2.foo.bar,example7.quo.qux
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-G, \-\-grain
The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains system on
the minions. The target expression is in the format of \(aq<grain value>:<glob
expression>\(aq; example: \(aqos:Arch*\(aq
.sp
This was changed in version 0.9.8 to accept glob expressions instead of
regular expression. To use regular expression matching with grains, use
the \-\-grain\-pcre option.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-grain\-pcre
The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains system on
the minions. The target expression is in the format of \(aq<grain value>:<
regular expression>\(aq; example: \(aqos:Arch.*\(aq
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-N, \-\-nodegroup
Use a predefined compound target defined in the Salt master configuration
file.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-R, \-\-range
Instead of using shell globs to evaluate the target, use a range expression
to identify targets. Range expressions look like %cluster.
.sp
Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up and the
location of the range server is referenced in the master configuration
file.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-C, \-\-compound
Utilize many target definitions to make the call very granular. This option
takes a group of targets separated by \fBand\fP or \fBor\fP\&. The default matcher is a
glob as usual. If something other than a glob is used, preface it with the
letter denoting the type; example: \(aqwebserv* and \fI\%G@os\fP:Debian or \fI\%E@db*\fP\(aq
Make sure that the compound target is encapsulated in quotes.
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-I, \-\-pillar
Instead of using shell globs to evaluate the target, use a pillar value to
identify targets. The syntax for the target is the pillar key followed by
a glob expression: "role:production*"
.UNINDENT
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-S, \-\-ipcidr
Match based on Subnet (CIDR notation) or IPv4 address.
.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 separate JSON string per minion
which makes JSON output invalid as a whole.
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
.sp
\fBNOTE:\fP
.INDENT 7.0
.INDENT 3.5
When using colored output the color codes are as follows:
.sp
\fBgreen\fP denotes success, \fBred\fP denotes failure, \fBblue\fP denotes
changes and success and \fByellow\fP denotes a expected future change in configuration.
