The Minions workspace also includes a Run Command control that allows you to run a single, ad-hoc command on one or more minions without creating a reusable job. The All Minions target lists all the minions you have permission to access. See Pillars for more information.īy default, when you open the workspace, the All Minions target is active. They allow confidential, targeted data to be securely sent only to the relevant minion. Pillars are structures of data defined on the Salt master and passed through to one or more minions, using targets. You can attach pillar data to different targets. Targets can contain minions that are connected to any Salt master in your environment. Defining a target for a job or operation also prevents the operation from running on nodes that should not run that operation. A Salt master can also be managed like a minion and can be a target if it is running the minion service.

A target is the group of minions, across one or many Salt masters, that a job’s Salt command applies to. The side panel of the workspace includes a list of targets. Salt masters can themselves run the minion service, which makes it possible to configure and manage the node running the Salt contoller service as needed. Minions are nodes running the minion service, which can listen to commands from a Salt master and perform the requested tasks. The Minions workspace includes a list of all Salt minions that are running the minion service and that are currently managed by SaltStack Config.
