`salt-call`¶

Synopsis¶

salt-call [options]

The salt-call command is used to run module functions locally on a minion instead of executing them from the master.

-h, --help¶: Print a usage message briefly summarizing these command-line options

-m MODULE_DIRS, --module-dirs=MODULE_DIRS¶: Specify an additional directories to pull modules from, multiple directories can be delimited by commas

--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.

-d, --doc¶: Return the documentation for the specified module or for all modules if none are specified

-l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL¶: Console log level. One of info, none, garbage, trace, warning, error, debug. For the logfile settings see the config file. Default: info.

-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.

--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 python pprint library.

--out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT¶: Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disables indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.
