salt.modules.config¶

Return config information

salt.modules.config.backup_mode(backup='')¶

Return the backup mode

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.backup_mode

salt.modules.config.dot_vals(value)¶

Pass in a configuration value that should be preceded by the module name and a dot, this will return a list of all read key/value pairs

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.dot_vals host

salt.modules.config.gather_bootstrap_script(bootstrap=None)¶

Download the salt-bootstrap script, and return its location

bootstrap

URL of alternate bootstrap script

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.gather_bootstrap_script

salt.modules.config.get(key, default='')¶

Attempt to retrieve the named value from opts, pillar, grains or the master config, if the named value is not available return the passed default. The default return is an empty string.

The value can also represent a value in a nested dict using a ":" delimiter for the dict. This means that if a dict looks like this:

{'pkg': {'apache': 'httpd'}}

To retrieve the value associated with the apache key in the pkg dict this key can be passed:

pkg:apache

This routine traverses these data stores in this order:

• Local minion config (opts)
• Minion's grains
• Minion's pillar
• Master config

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.get pkg:apache

salt.modules.config.manage_mode(mode)¶

Return a mode value, normalized to a string

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.manage_mode

salt.modules.config.merge(value, default='', omit_opts=False, omit_master=False, omit_pillar=False)¶

Retrieves an option based on key, merging all matches.

Same as option() except that it merges all matches, rather than taking the first match.

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.merge schedule

salt.modules.config.option(value, default='', omit_opts=False, omit_master=False, omit_pillar=False)¶

Pass in a generic option and receive the value that will be assigned

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.option redis.host

salt.modules.config.valid_fileproto(uri)¶

Returns a boolean value based on whether or not the URI passed has a valid remote file protocol designation

CLI Example:

salt '*' config.valid_fileproto salt://path/to/file
