How to write array in pillar?

[Alexandr Porunov]

Hello,

I need to store an array of objects in pillar.

Help me please to figure out if it is possible.

Here is a JSON which I need to convert in pillar

nodes: [

  {

    ip: "192.168.0.1",

    port: 8080

  },

  {

    ip: "192.168.0.2",

    port: 443

  },

  {

    ip: "192.168.0.3",

    port: 8081

  }

]

I need to be able to get IP and ports from the array like these:

{{ salt['pillar.get']('nodes:[0]:ip') }}

{{ salt['pillar.get']('nodes:[0]:port') }}

{{ salt['pillar.get']('nodes:[1]:ip') }}

{{ salt['pillar.get']('nodes:[2]:port') }}

Best regards,

Alexandr
