Reporting Bugs¶

Salt uses GitHub to track open issues and feature requests.

To file a bug, please navigate to the new issue page for the Salt project.

In an issue report, please include the following information:

• The output of salt --versions-report from the relevant machines. This can also be gathered remotely by using salt <my_tgt> test.versions_report.

• A description of the problem including steps taken to cause the issue to occur and the expected behaviour.

• Any steps taken to attempt to remediate the problem.

• Any configuration options set in a configuration file that may be relevant.

• A reproduceable test case. This may be as simple as an SLS file that illustrates a problem or it may be a link to a repository that contains a number of SLS files that can be used together to re-produce a problem. If the problem is transitory, any information that can be used to try and reproduce the problem is helpful.

• [Optional] The output of each salt component (master/minion/CLI) running with the -ldebug flag set.

Note

Please be certain to scrub any logs or SLS files for sensitive data!
