salt.runners.state¶

Execute orchestration functions

salt.runners.state.event(tagmatch='*', count=- 1, quiet=False, sock_dir=None, pretty=False, node='master')¶

Watch Salt's event bus and block until the given tag is matched

New in version 2014.7.0.

Changed in version 2019.2.0: tagmatch can now be either a glob or regular expression.

This is useful for utilizing Salt's event bus from shell scripts or for taking simple actions directly from the CLI.

Enable debug logging to see ignored events.

Parameters

tagmatch -- the event is written to stdout for each tag that matches this glob or regular expression.
count -- this number is decremented for each event that matches the tagmatch parameter; pass -1 to listen forever.
quiet -- do not print to stdout; just block
sock_dir -- path to the Salt master's event socket file.
pretty -- Output the JSON all on a single line if False (useful for shell tools); pretty-print the JSON output if True.
node -- Watch the minion-side or master-side event bus. .. versionadded:: 2016.3.0

CLI Examples:

# Reboot a minion and run highstate when it comes back online
salt 'jerry' system.reboot && \\
    salt-run state.event 'salt/minion/jerry/start' count=1 quiet=True && \\
    salt 'jerry' state.highstate

# Reboot multiple minions and run highstate when all are back online
salt -L 'kevin,stewart,dave' system.reboot && \\
    salt-run state.event 'salt/minion/*/start' count=3 quiet=True && \\
    salt -L 'kevin,stewart,dave' state.highstate

# Watch the event bus forever in a shell while-loop.
salt-run state.event | while read -r tag data; do
    echo $tag
    echo $data | jq --color-output .
done

salt.runners.state.orchestrate_high(data, test=None, queue=False, pillar=None, **kwargs)¶

Execute a single state orchestration routine

New in version 2015.5.0.

CLI Example:

salt-run state.orchestrate_high '{
    stage_one:
        {salt.state: [{tgt: "db*"}, {sls: postgres_setup}]},
    stage_two:
        {salt.state: [{tgt: "web*"}, {sls: apache_setup}, {
            require: [{salt: stage_one}],
        }]},
    }'

salt.runners.state.orchestrate_show_sls(mods, saltenv='base', test=None, queue=False, pillar=None, pillarenv=None, pillar_enc=None)¶

Display the state data from a specific sls, or list of sls files, after being render using the master minion.

Note, the master minion adds a "_master" suffix to its minion id.

salt.runners.state.orchestrate_single(fun, name, test=None, queue=False, pillar=None, **kwargs)¶

CLI Example:

salt-run state.orchestrate_single fun=salt.wheel name=key.list_all

salt.runners.state.pause(jid, state_id=None, duration=None)¶: Set up a state id pause, this instructs a running state to pause at a given state id. This needs to pass in the jid of the running state and can optionally pass in a duration in seconds.

salt.runners.state.resume(jid, state_id=None)¶: Remove a pause from a jid, allowing it to continue

salt.runners.state.rm_pause(jid, state_id=None)¶: This function is an alias of resume.

Remove a pause from a jid, allowing it to continue

salt.runners.state.set_pause(jid, state_id=None, duration=None)¶: This function is an alias of pause.

Set up a state id pause, this instructs a running state to pause at a given state id. This needs to pass in the jid of the running state and can optionally pass in a duration in seconds.

salt.runners.state.soft_kill(jid, state_id=None)¶: Set up a state run to die before executing the given state id, this instructs a running state to safely exit at a given state id. This needs to pass in the jid of the running state. If a state_id is not passed then the jid referenced will be safely exited at the beginning of the next state run.
