salt.tops.ext_nodes¶
External Nodes Classifier¶
The External Nodes Classifier is a master tops subsystem used to hook into
systems used to provide mapping information used by major configuration
management systems. One of the most common external nodes classification
system is provided by Cobbler and is called cobbler-ext-nodes
.
The cobbler-ext-nodes command can be used with this configuration:
master_tops:
ext_nodes: cobbler-ext-nodes
It is noteworthy that the Salt system does not directly ingest the data
sent from the cobbler-ext-nodes
command, but converts the data into
information that is used by a Salt top file.
