Is there any way to call only one rule within a SaltStack state?

  • 772

I have a state called service.sls within an "elasticsearch" directory. I could call the entire state via salt-call state.sls elasticsearch.service but I'd only like to trigger one rule within that state.

Context: the config is file.managed and has been changed but I'd like to manually do the restart that the state would trigger.

  1. You can do salt-call state.high and specify the individual rule that you want from the file directly on the command line.

  2. Although there is an exclude parameter to most state functions, there isn't an inclue. You could however exclude all other state ids to only execute the "rule" you want:

    salt-call state.sls elasticsearch.service exclude="[{'id': 'id_to_exclude'}, {'id': 'id_to_also_exclude'}]"
