-
--versions-report
¶
Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit
-
-h

-
-c
CONFIG_DIR
,
--config-dir
=CONFIG_dir

-g
,
--grains

-
-m
MODULE_DIRS
,
--module-dirs
=MODULE_DIRS

-
-d
,
--doc
,
--documentation
¶
Return 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.
-
--local
¶
Run salt-call locally, as if there was no master running.
Logging Options¶
Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.
-
-l
LOG_LEVEL
,
--log-level
=LOG_LEVEL

all
,garbage
,trace
,debug
,info
,warning
,error
,quiet
. Default:info
.
-
--log-file
=LOG_FILE

-
--log-file-level
=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
¶ Logfile logging log level. One of
all
,garbage
,trace
,debug
,info
,warning
,error
,quiet

Output Options¶
-
--out
¶
Pass 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 Pythonpprint
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.
-

¶ Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.
