SaltStack: Is there a way to only display failed and warnings in output?

  • 772

Running state.apply or state.highstate on minions can result in hundreds of lines in output. Sometimes only one minion can be enough.

...
Summary for my_minion
--------------
Succeeded: 112 (changed=78)
Failed:      6
Warnings:    1
--------------
Total states run:     118
Total run time:     4.958 s

Is there a way to show only failed and warnings in the output?

    Change the state_output in master's configuration file.

    It is also possible to override the state output from the command line, like:

    salt '*' state.apply --state-output=mixed

    Take a look at the documentation for more information about the state-output.

  2. I usually use:

    salt '*' state.apply -l quiet --state-verbose=false

    that shows only change/failed states

  3. You can use JSON output, then filter out the successful entries with jq.

    salt-run jobs.lookup_jid 20180318whatever --out=json | \
jq 'map_values(with_entries(select(.value.result|not)))'
