# salt -l debug -v NetMon_Sonoma state.sls ssh-keys.generate-host-key.

generate-host-key is executed on NetMon_Sonoma.

NetMon_Sonoma fires an event on the master.

Master executes the sync-shared-keys.sls with data['data']['foo'] equal to 'mMaster'.  the ssh-keys/fetch-host-keys.sls is executed on the mMaster minion.

How do I pass information to the fetch-host-keys when I execute the sls?

Is this what kwargs is used for?

fetch-host-keys.sls

remove_known_host:
  module.run:
    - name: ssh.rm_known_host
    - {{ kwargs['something'] }}

How do I get this data ^^^^^^^^

generate-host-key.sls

/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key:
  file.absent

update_ssh_host_rsa_key:
  cmd.run:
    - name: "/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 2048 -N \"\" -q -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key"
    - cwd: /root
  
update_ssh_host_rsa_key.pub:
  module.run:
    - name: "event.fire_master"
    - fun: fire_master
    - tag: RefreshHostSSHPub
    - data: {"foo": "mMaster"}

### The data foo is usable in the reactor's sync-shared-keys.sls.  We use it to build the targeting filter

reactor.conf

reactor:
  - 'RefreshHostSSHPub':
    - /usr/local/etc/salt/states/ssh-keys/reactor/sync-shared-keys.sls

sync-shared-keys.sls

anything:
  cmd.state.sls:
    - tgt: 'G@Notify_{{ data['id'] }}_{{ data['tag'] }}:True and L@{{ data['data']['foo'] }}'
    - expr_form: compound
    - arg:
      - ssh-keys.fetch-host-keys
    - kwargs:
      - something: else

Unfortunately the kwargs parameter is not used for what you're trying to do. However there is a keyword argument that will work for what your'e doing: pillar.

At the CLI you can do something like:

salt 'mytarget' state.sls mysls pillar='{foo: bar}'

And access that Pillar data in "mysls.sls" via the usual way:

mycmd:
  cmd:
    - run
    - name: echo {{ salt['pillar.get']('foo') }}

So if you change the kwargs in your sync-shared-keys.sls to pillar it should work.
