==================
Master Tops System
==================
In 0.10.4 the `external_nodes` system was upgraded to allow for modular
subsystems to be used to generate the top file data for a highstate run on
the master.
The old `external_nodes` option still works, but will be removed in the
future in favor of the new `master_tops` option which uses the modular
system instead. The master tops system contains a number of subsystems that
are loaded via the Salt loader interfaces like modules, states, returners,
runners, etc.
Using the new `master_tops` option is simple:
.. code-block:: yaml
master_tops:
ext_nodes: cobbler-external-nodes
for :doc:`Cobbler <../../ref/tops/all/salt.tops.cobbler>` or:
.. code-block:: yaml
master_tops:
reclass:
inventory_base_uri: /etc/reclass
classes_uri: roles
for :doc:`Reclass <../../ref/tops/all/salt.tops.reclass_adapter>`.
