SLS Template Variable Reference¶

Salt¶

The salt variable is available to abstract the salt library functions. This variable is a python dictionary containing all of the functions available to the running salt minion. It is available in all salt templates.

{% for file in salt['cmd.run']('ls -1 /opt/to_remove').splitlines() %}
/opt/to_remove/{{ file }}:
  file.absent
{% endfor %}

Opts¶

The opts variable abstracts the contents of the minion's configuration file directly to the template. The opts variable is a dictionary. It is available in all templates.

{{ opts['cachedir'] }}

The config.get function also searches for values in the opts dictionary.

Pillar是Salt非常重要的一个组件，它用于给特定的minion定义任何你需要的数据，这些数据可以被Salt的其他组件使用。¶

The pillar dictionary can be referenced directly, and is available in all templates:

{{ pillar['key'] }}

Using the pillar.get function via the salt variable is generally recommended since a default can be safely set in the event that the value is not available in pillar and dictionaries can be traversed directly:

{{ salt['pillar.get']('key', 'failover_value') }}
{{ salt['pillar.get']('stuff:more:deeper') }}

grains是minion启动时加载的，在运行过程中不会发生变化，所以是静态数据。grains中包含诸如运行的内核版本，操作系统等信息。¶

The grains dictionary makes the minion's grains directly available, and is available in all templates:

{{ grains['os'] }}

The grains.get function can be used to traverse deeper grains and set defaults:

{{ salt['grains.get']('os') }}

env¶

The env variable is available in only in sls files when gathering the sls from an environment.

{{ env }}

sls¶

The sls variable contains the sls reference value, and is only available in the actual SLS file (not in any files referenced in that SLS). The sls reference value is the value used to include the sls in top files or via the include option.

{{ sls }}
