.. _requisites:
===========================================
Requisites and Other Global State Arguments
===========================================
Requisites
==========
The Salt requisite system is used to create relationships between states. The
core idea being that, when one state is dependent somehow on another, that
inter-dependency can be easily defined. These dependencies are expressed by
declaring the relationships using state names and ID's or names. The
generalized form of a requisite target is ``<state name> : <ID or name>``.
The specific form is defined as a :ref:`Requisite Reference
<requisite-reference>`
Requisites come in two types: Direct requisites (such as ``require``),
and requisite_ins (such as ``require_in``). The relationships are
directional: a direct requisite requires something from another state.
However, a requisite_in inserts a requisite into the targeted state pointing to
the targeting state. The following example demonstrates a direct requisite:
.. code-block:: yaml
vim:
pkg.installed: []
/etc/vimrc:
file.managed:
- source: salt://edit/vimrc
- require:
- pkg: vim
In the example above, the file ``/etc/vimrc`` depends on the vim package.
Requisite_in statements are the opposite. Instead of saying "I depend on
something", requisite_ins say "Someone depends on me":
.. code-block:: yaml
vim:
pkg.installed:
- require_in:
- file: /etc/vimrc
/etc/vimrc:
file.managed:
- source: salt://edit/vimrc
So here, with a requisite_in, the same thing is accomplished as in the first
example, but the other way around. The vim package is saying "/etc/vimrc depends
on me". This will result in a ``require`` being inserted into the
``/etc/vimrc`` state which targets the ``vim`` state.
In the end, a single dependency map is created and everything is executed in a
finite and predictable order.
Requisite matching
------------------
Requisites need two pieces of information for matching: The state module name –
e.g. ``pkg`` –, and the identifier – e.g. vim –, which can be either the ID (the
first line in the stanza) or the ``- name`` parameter.
.. code-block:: yaml
- require:
- pkg: vim
Omitting state module in requisites
-----------------------------------
.. versionadded:: 2016.3.0
In version 2016.3.0, the state module name was made optional. If the state module
is omitted, all states matching the ID will be required, regardless of which
module they are using.
.. code-block:: yaml
- require:
- vim
State target matching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to understand how state targets are matched, it is helpful to know
:ref:`how the state compiler is working <compiler_ordering>`. Consider the following
example:
.. code-block:: yaml
Deploy server package:
file.managed:
- name: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
- source: salt://myapp.tar.xz
Extract server package:
archive.extracted:
- name: /usr/local/share/myapp
- source: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
- archive_format: tar
- onchanges:
- file: Deploy server package
The first formula is converted to a dictionary which looks as follows (represented
as YAML, some properties omitted for simplicity) as `High Data`:
.. code-block:: yaml
Deploy server package:
file:
- managed
- name: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz
- source: salt://myapp.tar.xz
The ``file.managed`` format used in the formula is essentially syntactic sugar:
at the end, the target is ``file``, which is used in the ``Extract server package``
state above.
Identifier matching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Requisites match on both the ID Declaration and the ``name`` parameter.
This means that, in the "Deploy server package" example above, a ``require``
requisite would match with ``Deploy server package`` *or* ``/usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz``,
so either of the following versions for "Extract server package" works:
.. code-block:: yaml
# (Archive arguments omitted for simplicity)
# Match by ID declaration
Extract server package:
archive.extracted:
- onchanges:
- file: Deploy server package
# Match by name parameter
Extract server package:
archive.extracted:
- onchanges:
- file: /usr/local/share/myapp.tar.xz

In this table, the following short form of terms is used:
* **state** (= dependent state): state containing requisite
* **target** (= state target) : state referenced by requisite
Direct Requisite and Requisite_in types
---------------------------------------
There are several direct requisite statements that can be used in Salt:
* ``require``
* ``watch``
* ``prereq``
* ``use``
* ``onchanges``
* ``onfail``
Each direct requisite also has a corresponding requisite_in:
* ``require_in``
* ``watch_in``
* ``prereq_in``
* ``use_in``
* ``onchanges_in``
* ``onfail_in``
There are several corresponding requisite_any statements:
* ``require_any``
* ``watch_any``
* ``onchanges_any``
* ``onfail_any``
All of the requisites define specific relationships and always work with the
dependency logic defined above.
.. _requisites-require:
require
~~~~~~~
The use of ``require`` demands that the required state executes before the
dependent state. The state containing the ``require`` requisite is defined as the
dependent state. The state specified in the ``require`` statement is defined as the
required state. If the required state's execution succeeds, the dependent state
will then execute. If the required state's execution fails, the dependent state
will not execute. In the first example above, the file ``/etc/vimrc`` will only
execute after the vim package is installed successfully.
Require an Entire SLS File
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As of Salt 0.16.0, it is possible to require an entire sls file. Do this first by
including the sls file and then setting a state to ``require`` the included sls file:
.. code-block:: yaml
include:
- foo
bar:
pkg.installed:
- require:
- sls: foo
This will add all of the state declarations found in the given sls file. This means
that every state in sls `foo` will be required. This makes it very easy to batch
large groups of states easily in any requisite statement.
.. _requisites-require_any:
require_any
~~~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2018.3.0
The use of ``require_any`` demands that one of the required states executes before the
dependent state. The state containing the ``require_any`` requisite is defined as the
dependent state. The states specified in the ``require_any`` statement are defined as the
required states. If at least one of the required state's execution succeeds, the dependent state
will then execute. If at least one of the required state's execution fails, the dependent state
will not execute.
.. code-block:: yaml
A:
cmd.run:
- name: echo A
- require_any:
- cmd: B
- cmd: C
- cmd: D
B:
cmd.run:
- name: echo B
C:
cmd.run:
- name: /bin/false
D:
cmd.run:
- name: echo D
In this example `A` will run because at least one of the requirements specified,
`B`, `C`, or `D` will succeed.
.. _requisites-watch:
watch
~~~~~
``watch`` statements are used to add additional behavior when there are changes
in other states.
.. note::
If a state should only execute when another state has changes, and
otherwise do nothing, the new ``onchanges`` requisite should be used
instead of ``watch``. ``watch`` is designed to add *additional* behavior
when there are changes, but otherwise the state executes normally.
The state containing the ``watch`` requisite is defined as the watching
state. The state specified in the ``watch`` statement is defined as the watched
state. When the watched state executes, it will return a dictionary containing
a key named "changes". Here are two examples of state return dictionaries,
shown in json for clarity:
.. code-block:: json
{
"local": {
"file_|-/tmp/foo_|-/tmp/foo_|-directory": {
"comment": "Directory /tmp/foo updated",
"__run_num__": 0,
"changes": {
"user": "bar"
},
"name": "/tmp/foo",
"result": true
}
}
}
{
"local": {
"pkgrepo_|-salt-minion_|-salt-minion_|-managed": {
"comment": "Package repo 'salt-minion' already configured",
"__run_num__": 0,
"changes": {},
"name": "salt-minion",
"result": true
}
}
}
If the "result" of the watched state is ``True``, the watching state *will
execute normally*, and if it is ``False``, the watching state will never run.
This part of ``watch`` mirrors the functionality of the ``require`` requisite.
If the "result" of the watched state is ``True`` *and* the "changes"
key contains a populated dictionary (changes occurred in the watched state),
then the ``watch`` requisite can add additional behavior. This additional
behavior is defined by the ``mod_watch`` function within the watching state
module. If the ``mod_watch`` function exists in the watching state module, it
will be called *in addition to* the normal watching state. The return data
from the ``mod_watch`` function is what will be returned to the master in this
case; the return data from the main watching function is discarded.
If the "changes" key contains an empty dictionary, the ``watch`` requisite acts
exactly like the ``require`` requisite (the watching state will execute if
"result" is ``True``, and fail if "result" is ``False`` in the watched state).
.. note::
Not all state modules contain ``mod_watch``. If ``mod_watch`` is absent
from the watching state module, the ``watch`` requisite behaves exactly
like a ``require`` requisite.
A good example of using ``watch`` is with a :mod:`service.running
<salt.states.service.running>` state. When a service watches a state, then
the service is reloaded/restarted when the watched state changes, in addition
to Salt ensuring that the service is running.
.. code-block:: yaml
ntpd:
service.running:
- watch:
- file: /etc/ntp.conf
file.managed:
- name: /etc/ntp.conf
- source: salt://ntp/files/ntp.conf
watch_any
~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2018.3.0
The state containing the ``watch_any`` requisite is defined as the watching
state. The states specified in the ``watch_any`` statement are defined as the watched
states. When the watched states execute, they will return a dictionary containing
a key named "changes".
If the "result" of any of the watched states is ``True``, the watching state *will
execute normally*, and if all of them are ``False``, the watching state will never run.
This part of ``watch`` mirrors the functionality of the ``require`` requisite.
If the "result" of any of the watched states is ``True`` *and* the "changes"
key contains a populated dictionary (changes occurred in the watched state),
then the ``watch`` requisite can add additional behavior. This additional
behavior is defined by the ``mod_watch`` function within the watching state
module. If the ``mod_watch`` function exists in the watching state module, it
will be called *in addition to* the normal watching state. The return data
from the ``mod_watch`` function is what will be returned to the master in this
case; the return data from the main watching function is discarded.
If the "changes" key contains an empty dictionary, the ``watch`` requisite acts
exactly like the ``require`` requisite (the watching state will execute if
"result" is ``True``, and fail if "result" is ``False`` in the watched state).
.. code-block:: yaml
apache2:
service.running:
- watch_any:
- file: /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.conf
- file: /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.conf
file.managed:
- name: /etc/apache2/sites-available/site1.conf
- source: salt://apache2/files/site1.conf
file.managed:
- name: /etc/apache2/sites-available/site2.conf
- source: salt://apache2/files/site2.conf
In this example, the service will be reloaded/restarted if either of the
file.managed states has a result of True and has changes.
.. _requisites-prereq:
prereq
~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 0.16.0
``prereq`` allows for actions to be taken based on the expected results of
a state that has not yet been executed. The state containing the ``prereq``
requisite is defined as the pre-requiring state. The state specified in the
``prereq`` statement is defined as the pre-required state.
When a ``prereq`` requisite is evaluated, the pre-required state reports if it
expects to have any changes. It does this by running the pre-required single
state as a test-run by enabling ``test=True``. This test-run will return a
dictionary containing a key named "changes". (See the ``watch`` section above
for examples of "changes" dictionaries.)
If the "changes" key contains a populated dictionary, it means that the
pre-required state expects changes to occur when the state is actually
executed, as opposed to the test-run. The pre-requiring state will now
actually run. If the pre-requiring state executes successfully, the
pre-required state will then execute. If the pre-requiring state fails, the
pre-required state will not execute.
If the "changes" key contains an empty dictionary, this means that changes are
not expected by the pre-required state. Neither the pre-required state nor the
pre-requiring state will run.
The best way to define how ``prereq`` operates is displayed in the following
practical example: When a service should be shut down because underlying code
is going to change, the service should be off-line while the update occurs. In
this example, ``graceful-down`` is the pre-requiring state and ``site-code``
is the pre-required state.
.. code-block:: yaml
graceful-down:
cmd.run:
- name: service apache graceful
- prereq:
- file: site-code
site-code:
file.recurse:
- name: /opt/site_code
- source: salt://site/code
In this case the apache server will only be shutdown if the site-code state
expects to deploy fresh code via the file.recurse call. The site-code
deployment will only be executed if the graceful-down run completes
successfully.
.. _requisites-onfail:
onfail
~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2014.7.0
The ``onfail`` requisite allows for reactions to happen strictly as a response
to the failure of another state. This can be used in a number of ways, such as
executing a second attempt to set up a service or begin to execute a separate
thread of states because of a failure.
The ``onfail`` requisite is applied in the same way as ``require`` as ``watch``:
.. code-block:: yaml
primary_mount:
mount.mounted:
- name: /mnt/share
- device: 10.0.0.45:/share
- fstype: nfs
backup_mount:
mount.mounted:
- name: /mnt/share
- device: 192.168.40.34:/share
- fstype: nfs
- onfail:
- mount: primary_mount
.. note::
Beginning in the ``2016.11.0`` release of Salt, ``onfail`` uses OR logic for
multiple listed ``onfail`` requisites. Prior to the ``2016.11.0`` release,
``onfail`` used AND logic. See `Issue #22370`_ for more information.
.. _Issue #22370: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/22370
.. _requisites-onfail_any:
onfail_any
~~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2018.3.0
The ``onfail_any`` requisite allows for reactions to happen strictly as a response
to the failure of at least one other state. This can be used in a number of ways, such as
executing a second attempt to set up a service or begin to execute a separate
thread of states because of a failure.
The ``onfail_any`` requisite is applied in the same way as ``require_any`` and ``watch_any``:
.. code-block:: yaml
primary_mount:
mount.mounted:
- name: /mnt/share
- device: 10.0.0.45:/share
- fstype: nfs
secondary_mount:
mount.mounted:
- name: /mnt/code
- device: 10.0.0.45:/code
- fstype: nfs
backup_mount:
mount.mounted:
- name: /mnt/share
- device: 192.168.40.34:/share
- fstype: nfs
- onfail_any:
- mount: primary_mount
- mount: secondary_mount
In this example, the `backup_mount` will be mounted if either of the
`primary_mount` or `secondary_mount` states results in a failure.
.. _requisites-onchanges:
onchanges
~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2014.7.0
The ``onchanges`` requisite makes a state only apply if the required states
generate changes, and if the watched state's "result" is ``True``. This can be
a useful way to execute a post hook after changing aspects of a system.
If a state has multiple ``onchanges`` requisites then the state will trigger
if any of the watched states changes.
.. note::
One easy-to-make mistake is to use ``onchanges_in`` when ``onchanges`` is
supposed to be used. For example, the below configuration is not correct:
.. code-block:: yaml
myservice:
pkg.installed:
- name: myservice
file.managed:
- name: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
- source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf
- mode: 600
cmd.run:
- name: /usr/libexec/myservice/post-changes-hook.sh
- onchanges_in:
- file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
This will set up a requisite relationship in which the ``cmd.run`` state
always executes, and the ``file.managed`` state only executes if the
``cmd.run`` state has changes (which it always will, since the ``cmd.run``
state includes the command results as changes).
It may semantically seem like the ``cmd.run`` state should only run
when there are changes in the file state, but remember that requisite
relationships involve one state watching another state, and a
:ref:`requisite_in <requisites-onchanges-in>` does the opposite: it forces
the specified state to watch the state with the ``requisite_in``.
The correct usage would be:
.. code-block:: yaml
myservice:
pkg.installed:
- name: myservice
file.managed:
- name: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
- source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf
- mode: 600
cmd.run:
- name: /usr/libexec/myservice/post-changes-hook.sh
- onchanges:
- file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
.. _requisites-onchanges_any:
onchanges_any
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2018.3.0
The ``onchanges_any`` requisite makes a state only apply one of the required states
generates changes, and if one of the watched state's "result" is ``True``. This can be
a useful way to execute a post hook after changing aspects of a system.
.. code-block:: yaml
myservice:
pkg.installed:
- name: myservice
- name: yourservice
file.managed:
- name: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
- source: salt://myservice/files/myservice.conf
- mode: 600
file.managed:
- name: /etc/yourservice/yourservice.conf
- source: salt://yourservice/files/yourservice.conf
- mode: 600
cmd.run:
- name: /usr/libexec/myservice/post-changes-hook.sh
- onchanges_any:
- file: /etc/myservice/myservice.conf
- file: /etc/your_service/yourservice.conf
In this example, the `cmd.run` would be run only if either of the
`file.managed` states generated changes and at least one of the
watched state's "result" is ``True``.
use
~~~
The ``use`` requisite is used to inherit the arguments passed in another
id declaration. This is useful when many files need to have the same defaults.
.. code-block:: yaml
/etc/foo.conf:
file.managed:
- source: salt://foo.conf
- template: jinja
- mkdirs: True
- user: apache
- group: apache
- mode: 755
/etc/bar.conf
file.managed:
- source: salt://bar.conf
- use:
- file: /etc/foo.conf
The ``use`` statement was developed primarily for the networking states but
can be used on any states in Salt. This makes sense for the networking state
because it can define a long list of options that need to be applied to
multiple network interfaces.
The ``use`` statement does not inherit the requisites arguments of the
targeted state. This means also a chain of ``use`` requisites would not
inherit inherited options.
runas
~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2017.7.0
The ``runas`` global option is used to set the user which will be used to run
the command in the ``cmd.run`` module.
.. code-block:: yaml
django:
pip.installed:
- name: django >= 1.6, <= 1.7
- runas: daniel
- require:
- pkg: python-pip
In the above state, the pip command run by ``cmd.run`` will be run by the daniel user.
runas_password
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. versionadded:: 2017.7.2
The ``runas_password`` global option is used to set the password used by the
runas global option. This is required by ``cmd.run`` on Windows when ``runas``
is specified. It will be set when ``runas_password`` is defined in the state.
.. code-block:: yaml
run_script:
cmd.run:
- name: Powershell -NonInteractive -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\\Temp\\script.ps1
- runas: frank
- runas_password: supersecret
In the above state, the Powershell script run by ``cmd.run`` will be run by the
frank user with the password ``supersecret``.
.. _requisites-require-in:
.. _requisites-watch-in:
.. _requisites-onchanges-in:
The _in versions of requisites
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All of the requisites also have corresponding requisite_in versions, which do
the reverse of their normal counterparts. The examples below all use
``require_in`` as the example, but note that all of the ``_in`` requisites work
the same way: They result in a normal requisite in the targeted state, which
targets the state which has defines the requisite_in. Thus, a ``require_in``
causes the target state to ``require`` the targeting state. Similarly, a
``watch_in`` causes the target state to ``watch`` the targeting state. This
pattern continues for the rest of the requisites.
If a state declaration needs to be required by another state declaration then
``require_in`` can accommodate it. Therefore, these two sls files would be the
same in the end:
Using ``require``
.. code-block:: yaml
httpd:
pkg.installed: []
service.running:
- require:
- pkg: httpd
Using ``require_in``
.. code-block:: yaml
httpd:
pkg.installed:
- require_in:
- service: httpd
service.running: []
The ``require_in`` statement is particularly useful when assigning a require
in a separate sls file. For instance it may be common for httpd to require
components used to set up PHP or mod_python, but the HTTP state does not need
to be aware of the additional components that require it when it is set up:
http.sls
.. code-block:: yaml
httpd:
pkg.installed: []
service.running:
- require:
- pkg: httpd
php.sls
.. code-block:: yaml
include:
- http
php:
pkg.installed:
- require_in:
- service: httpd
mod_python.sls
.. code-block:: yaml
include:
- http
mod_python:
pkg.installed:
- require_in:
- service: httpd
Now the httpd server will only start if php or mod_python are first verified to
be installed. Thus allowing for a requisite to be defined "after the fact".
.. _requisites-fire-event:
Fire Event Notifications
========================
.. versionadded:: 2015.8.0
The `fire_event` option in a state will cause the minion to send an event to
the Salt Master upon completion of that individual state.
The following example will cause the minion to send an event to the Salt Master
with a tag of `salt/state_result/20150505121517276431/dasalt/nano` and the
result of the state will be the data field of the event. Notice that the `name`
of the state gets added to the tag.
.. code-block:: yaml
nano_stuff:
pkg.installed:
- name: nano
- fire_event: True
In the following example instead of setting `fire_event` to `True`,
`fire_event` is set to an arbitrary string, which will cause the event to be
sent with this tag:
`salt/state_result/20150505121725642845/dasalt/custom/tag/nano/finished`
.. code-block:: yaml
nano_stuff:
pkg.installed:
- name: nano
- fire_event: custom/tag/nano/finished
Altering States
===============
The state altering system is used to make sure that states are evaluated exactly
as the user expects. It can be used to double check that a state preformed
exactly how it was expected to, or to make 100% sure that a state only runs
under certain conditions. The use of unless or onlyif options help make states
even more stateful. The ``check_cmd`` option helps ensure that the result of a
state is evaluated correctly.
Reload
------
``reload_modules`` is a boolean option that forces salt to reload its modules
after a state finishes. ``reload_pillar`` and ``reload_grains`` can also be set.
See :ref:`Reloading Modules <reloading-modules>`.
.. _unless-requisite:
Unless
------
.. versionadded:: 2014.7.0
The ``unless`` requisite specifies that a state should only run when any of
the specified commands return ``False``. The ``unless`` requisite operates
as NAND and is useful in giving more granular control over when a state should
execute.
**NOTE**: Under the hood ``unless`` calls ``cmd.retcode`` with
``python_shell=True``. This means the commands referenced by ``unless`` will be
parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this shell will be run with the
same privileges as the salt-minion. Also be aware that the boolean value is
determined by the shell's concept of ``True`` and ``False``, rather than Python's
concept of ``True`` and ``False``.
.. code-block:: yaml
vim:
pkg.installed:
- unless:
- rpm -q vim-enhanced
- ls /usr/bin/vim
In the example above, the state will only run if either the vim-enhanced
package is not installed (returns ``False``) or if /usr/bin/vim does not
exist (returns ``False``). The state will run if both commands return
``False``.
However, the state will not run if both commands return ``True``.
Unless checks are resolved for each name to which they are associated.
For example:
.. code-block:: yaml
deploy_app:
cmd.run:
- names:
- first_deploy_cmd
- second_deploy_cmd
- unless: ls /usr/bin/vim
In the above case, ``some_check`` will be run prior to _each_ name -- once for
``first_deploy_cmd`` and a second time for ``second_deploy_cmd``.
.. _onlyif-requisite:
Onlyif
------
.. versionadded:: 2014.7.0
The ``onlyif`` requisite specifies that if each command listed in ``onlyif``
returns ``True``, then the state is run. If any of the specified commands
return ``False``, the state will not run.
**NOTE**: Under the hood ``onlyif`` calls ``cmd.retcode`` with
``python_shell=True``. This means the commands referenced by ``onlyif`` will be
parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this shell will be run with the
same privileges as the salt-minion. Also be aware that the boolean value is
determined by the shell's concept of ``True`` and ``False``, rather than Python's
concept of ``True`` and ``False``.
.. code-block:: yaml
stop-volume:
module.run:
- name: glusterfs.stop_volume
- m_name: work
- onlyif:
- gluster volume status work
- order: 1
remove-volume:
module.run:
- name: glusterfs.delete
- m_name: work
- onlyif:
- gluster volume info work
- watch:
- cmd: stop-volume
The above example ensures that the stop_volume and delete modules only run
if the gluster commands return a 0 ret value.
Listen/Listen_in
----------------
.. versionadded:: 2014.7.0
listen and its counterpart listen_in trigger mod_wait functions for states,
when those states succeed and result in changes, similar to how watch its
counterpart watch_in. Unlike watch and watch_in, listen, and listen_in will
not modify the order of states and can be used to ensure your states are
executed in the order they are defined. All listen/listen_in actions will occur
at the end of a state run, after all states have completed.
.. code-block:: yaml
restart-apache2:
service.running:
- name: apache2
- listen:
- file: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
configure-apache2:
file.managed:
- name: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
- source: salt://apache2/apache2.conf
This example will cause apache2 to be restarted when the apache2.conf file is
changed, but the apache2 restart will happen at the end of the state run.
.. code-block:: yaml
restart-apache2:
service.running:
- name: apache2
configure-apache2:
file.managed:
- name: /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
- source: salt://apache2/apache2.conf
- listen_in:
- service: apache2
This example does the same as the above example, but puts the state argument
on the file resource, rather than the service resource.
check_cmd
---------
.. versionadded:: 2014.7.0
Check Command is used for determining that a state did or did not run as
expected.
**NOTE**: Under the hood ``check_cmd`` calls ``cmd.retcode`` with
``python_shell=True``. This means the commands referenced by unless will be
parsed by a shell, so beware of side-effects as this shell will be run with the
same privileges as the salt-minion.
.. code-block:: yaml
comment-repo:
file.replace:
- name: /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
- pattern: ^enabled=0
- repl: enabled=1
- check_cmd:
- ! grep 'enabled=0' /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
This will attempt to do a replace on all ``enabled=0`` in the .repo file, and
replace them with ``enabled=1``. The ``check_cmd`` is just a bash command. It
will do a grep for ``enabled=0`` in the file, and if it finds any, it will
return a 0, which will be inverted by the leading ``!``, causing ``check_cmd``
to set the state as failed. If it returns a 1, meaning it didn't find any
``enabled=0``, it will be inverted by the leading ``!``, returning a 0, and
declaring the function succeeded.
**NOTE**: This requisite ``check_cmd`` functions differently than the ``check_cmd``
of the ``file.managed`` state.
Overriding Checks
-----------------
There are two commands used for the above checks.
``mod_run_check`` is used to check for ``onlyif`` and ``unless``. If the goal is to
override the global check for these to variables, include a ``mod_run_check`` in the
salt/states/ file.
``mod_run_check_cmd`` is used to check for the check_cmd options. To override
this one, include a ``mod_run_check_cmd`` in the states file for the state.
Retrying States
===============
.. versionadded:: 2017.7.0
The retry option in a state allows it to be executed multiple times until a desired
result is obtained or the maximum number of attempts have been made.
The retry option can be configured by the ``attempts``, ``until``, ``interval``, and
``splay`` parameters.
The ``attempts`` parameter controls the maximum number of times the state will be
run. If not specified or if an invalid value is specified, ``attempts`` will default
to ``2``.
The ``until`` parameter defines the result that is required to stop retrying the state.
If not specified or if an invalid value is specified, ``until`` will default to ``True``
The ``interval`` parameter defines the amount of time, in seconds, that the system
will wait between attempts. If not specified or if an invalid value is specified,
``interval`` will default to ``30``.
The ``splay`` parameter allows the ``interval`` to be additionally spread out. If not
specified or if an invalid value is specified, ``splay`` defaults to ``0`` (i.e. no
splaying will occur).
The following example will run the pkg.installed state until it returns ``True`` or it has
been run ``5`` times. Each attempt will be ``60`` seconds apart and the interval will be splayed
up to an additional ``10`` seconds:
.. code-block:: yaml
my_retried_state:
pkg.installed:
- name: nano
- retry:
attempts: 5
until: True
interval: 60
splay: 10
The following example will run the pkg.installed state with all the defaults for ``retry``.
The state will run up to ``2`` times, each attempt being ``30`` seconds apart, or until it
returns ``True``.
.. code-block:: yaml
install_nano:
pkg.installed:
- name: nano
- retry: True
The following example will run the file.exists state every ``30`` seconds up to ``15`` times
or until the file exists (i.e. the state returns ``True``).
.. code-block:: yaml
wait_for_file:
file.exists:
- name: /path/to/file
- retry:
attempts: 15
interval: 30
Return data from a retried state
--------------------------------
When a state is retried, the returned output is as follows:
The ``result`` return value is the ``result`` from the final run. For example, imagine a state set
to ``retry`` up to three times or ``until`` ``True``. If the state returns ``False`` on the first run
and then ``True`` on the second, the ``result`` of the state will be ``True``.
The ``started`` return value is the ``started`` from the first run.
The ``duration`` return value is the total duration of all attempts plus the retry intervals.
The ``comment`` return value will include the result and comment from all previous attempts.
For example:
.. code-block:: yaml
wait_for_file:
file.exists:
- name: /path/to/file
- retry:
attempts: 10
interval: 2
splay: 5
Would return similar to the following. The state result in this case is ``False`` (file.exist was run 10
times with a 2 second interval, but the file specified did not exist on any run).
.. code-block:: none
ID: wait_for_file
Function: file.exists
Result: False
