salt.modules.minion module¶

Module to provide information about minions

salt.modules.minion.kill()¶

Kill the salt minion.

If you have a monitor that restarts salt-minion when it dies then this is a great way to restart after a minion upgrade.

CLI example:

>$ salt minion[12] minion.kill
minion1:
    ----------
    killed:
        7874
minion2:
    ----------
    killed:
        29071

The result of the salt command shows the process ID of the minions that were successfully killed - in this case they were 7874 and 29071.

salt.modules.minion.list()¶

Return a list of accepted, denied, unaccepted and rejected keys. This is the same output as salt-key -L

CLI Example:

salt 'master' minion.list
