salt.runners.manage.down(removekeys=False)

Print a list of all the down or unresponsive salt minions Optionally remove keys of down minions

salt.runners.manage.get_stats(estate=None, stack='road')

Print the stack stats

estate : None
The name of the target estate. Master stats would be requested by default
stack : 'road'
Show stats on either road or lane stack Allowed values are 'road' or 'lane'.

CLI Example:

salt-run manage.get_stats [estate=alpha_minion] [stack=lane]
salt.runners.manage.joined(subset=None, show_ipv4=False)

Print a list of all minions that are up according to Salt's presence detection (no commands will be sent to minions)

subset : None

New in version Beryllium.

CLI Example:

salt-run manage.joined
salt.runners.manage.key_regen()

This routine is used to regenerate all keys in an environment. This is invasive! ALL KEYS IN THE SALT ENVIRONMENT WILL BE REGENERATED!!

The key_regen routine sends a command out to minions to revoke the master key and remove all minion keys, it then removes all keys from the master and prompts the user to restart the master. The minions will all reconnect and keys will be placed in pending.

After the master is restarted and minion keys are in the pending directory execute a salt-key -A command to accept the regenerated minion keys.

The master must be restarted within 60 seconds of running this command or the minions will think there is something wrong with the keys and abort.

Only Execute this runner after upgrading minions and master to 0.15.1 or higher!

CLI Example:

salt-run manage.key_regen
salt.runners.manage.lane_stats(estate=None)

estate : None
