salt.modules.splay¶

Splay function calls across targeted minions

salt.modules.splay.show(splaytime=600)¶

Show calculated splaytime for this minion Will use default value of 600 (seconds) if splaytime value not provided

CLI Example:

salt example-host splay.show salt example-host splay.show 60

salt.modules.splay.splay(*args, **kwargs)¶

Splay a salt function call execution time across minions over a number of seconds (default: 600)

NOTE: You probably want to use --async here and look up the job results later.

If you're dead set on getting the output from the CLI command, then make sure to set the timeout (with the -t flag) to something greater than the splaytime (max splaytime + time to execute job). Otherwise, it's very likely that the cli will time out before the job returns.

CLI Example: # With default splaytime

salt --async '*' splay.splay pkg.install cowsay version=3.03-8.el6

# With specified splaytime (5 minutes) and timeout with 10 second buffer

salt -t 310 '*' splay.splay 300 pkg.version cowsay
