saltmine question
Raw
readme
This gist is to reproduce a salt environment intended to:
1. assign a role to each minion based on its id
2. use the role to conditionally output the IP address of minions to a text file. Salt mine is used for this as per http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/topics/mine/ .
The salt-sandbox archive contains a vagrant environment to setup salt-master and salt-minion VMs. Extract this first.
The saltmine-question archive should be extracted on the saltmaster. It contains a readme describing how to reproduce the environment.
The correct roles appear to be assigned to the minion, but the salt mine doesn't seem to work.

meh.. when i startup the VMs the salt-minion and salt-master services are both launched automatically. Then i run the following on the master:
sudo salt 'minion01' pillar.items
and it ignores roles.yaml. The /srv/modules/pillar/roles.py is not compiled. So i stop the salt-master service and start it up in the foreground with:
sudo salt-master -l debug
then try to print the pillar.items again. This time it compiles roles.py and the roles are output. Strange.
