salt.output.highstate

The return data from the Highstate command is a standard data structure which is parsed by the highstate outputter to deliver a clean and readable set of information about the HighState run on minions.

Two configurations can be set to modify the highstate outputter. These values can be set in the master config to change the output of the salt command or set in the minion config to change the output of the salt-call command.

state_verbose:

By default state_verbose is set to True, setting this to False will instruct the highstate outputter to omit displaying anything in green, this means that nothing with a result of True and no changes will not be printed

state_output:

The highstate outputter has three output modes, full, terse, and mixed. The default is set to full, which will display many lines of detailed information for each executed chunk. If the state_output option is set to terse then the output is greatly simplified and shown in only one line. If mixed is used, then terse output will be used unless a state failed, in which case full output will be used.

salt.output.highstate.output(data)

The HighState Outputter is only meant to be used with the state.highstate function, or a function that returns highstate return data.
