salt.pillar.etcd_pillar

Use etcd data as a Pillar source

New in version 2014.7.0.

In order to use an etcd server, a profile must be created in the master configuration file:

my_etcd_config:
  etcd.host: 127.0.0.1
  etcd.port: 4001

After the profile is created, configure the external pillar system to use it. Optionally, a root may be specified.

ext_pillar:
  - etcd: my_etcd_config

ext_pillar:
  - etcd: my_etcd_config root=/salt

Using these configuration profiles, multiple etcd sources may also be used:

ext_pillar:
  - etcd: my_etcd_config
  - etcd: my_other_etcd_config

The minion_id may be used in the root path to expose minion-specific information stored in etcd.

ext_pillar:
  - etcd: my_etcd_config root=/salt/%(minion_id)s

Minion-specific values may override shared values when the minion-specific root appears after the shared root:

ext_pillar:
  - etcd: my_etcd_config root=/salt-shared
  - etcd: my_other_etcd_config root=/salt-private/%(minion_id)s

Using the configuration above, the following commands could be used to share a key with all minions but override its value for a specific minion:

etcdctl set /salt-shared/mykey my_value
etcdctl set /salt-private/special_minion_id/mykey my_other_value

salt.pillar.etcd_pillar.ext_pillar(minion_id, pillar, conf)

Check etcd for all data
