salt-call¶salt-call [options]
The salt-call command is used to run module functions locally on a minion instead of executing them from the master.
--versionPrint the version of Salt that is running.
--versions-reportShow program's dependencies and version number, and then exit
-h, --helpShow the help message and exit
-c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir¶The location of the Salt configuration directory. This directory contains
the configuration files for Salt master and minions. The default location
on most systems is /etc/salt.
-g, --grainsReturn the information generated by the Salt grains
-m MODULE_DIRS, --module-dirs=MODULE_DIRS¶Specify an additional directories to pull modules from, multiple directories can be delimited by commas
-d, --doc, --documentationReturn the documentation for the specified module or for all modules if none are specified
--master=MASTER¶Specify the master to use. The minion must be authenticated with the master. If this option is omitted, the master options from the minion config will be used. If multi masters are set up the first listed master that responds will be used.
--return RETURNER¶Set salt-call to pass the return data to one or many returner interfaces. To use many returner interfaces specify a comma delimited list of returners.
--localRun salt-call locally, as if there was no master running.
Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.
-l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL¶Console logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace,
debug, info, warning, error, quiet. Default:
info.
--log-file=LOG_FILE¶Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion.
--log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE¶Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace,
debug, info, warning, error, quiet. Default:
info.
--outPass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any of the available outputters:
grains,highstate,json,key,overstatestage,pprint,raw,txt,yaml
Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific
functions; for instance, the grains outputter will not work for non-grains
data.
If an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then
Salt will fall back on the pprint outputter and display the return data
using the Python pprint standard library module.
Note
If using --out=json, you will probably want --static as well.
Without the static option, you will get a JSON string for each minion.
This is due to using an iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it
to a JSON parser, use --static as well.
--out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT¶Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.
--out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE¶Write the output to the specified file.
--no-colorDisable all colored output
--force-colorForce colored output
