Hello all,
My use-case is to get STDERR/STDOUT of each module/function/sub-state in a state file towards salt-master's event listener.
My state file(test.sls) looks like this:
{% for pkg in 'foo', 'g++','make', 'sysstat', 'apache2' %}
{{ pkg }}:
pkg.installed:
- skip_verify: True
- order: 1
event:
- send
- name: salt/job/critical
- unless:
- dpkg -l {{ pkg }}
- data:
status: 'False'
failure_at: {{ pkg }}
{% endfor %}
The above code will install packages from the list and send a failure event to salt MASTER in case a package fails to install. I am relying on dpkg -l to check if the package is available on OS or not. But, I also want to get STDOUT/STDERR for each installation rather than a summarized output which is returned to MASTER after salt '*' state.apply test
This will help me detect the reason why a specific package failed to install. It could be due to varioud reasons like dependencies failure or apt-get repository being unavailable and so on.
What can be done to get the STDOUT/STDERR for each sub-state execution?
