Running Custom Master Processes
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
:ref:`Salt engines <engines>` are a new feature in 2015.8.0 that let you run
|
|
custom processes on the Salt master and on Salt minions. Salt engines provide
|
|
more functionality than ``ext_processes`` by accepting arguments, and by
|
|
providing access to Salt config, execution modules, and runners.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the processes that the Salt master automatically spawns,
|
|
it is possible to configure it to start additional custom processes.
|
|
|
|
This is useful if a dedicated process is needed that should run throughout
|
|
the life of the Salt master. For periodic independent tasks, a
|
|
:ref:`scheduled runner <scheduling-jobs>` may be more appropriate.
|
|
|
|
Processes started in this way will be restarted if they die and will be
|
|
killed when the Salt master is shut down.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example Configuration
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Processes are declared in the master config file with the `ext_processes`
|
|
option. Processes will be started in the order they are declared.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ext_processes:
|
|
- mymodule.TestProcess
|
|
- mymodule.AnotherProcess
|
|
|
|
|
|
Example Process Class

|
