Trying to pass a pillar file to an Orchestration

[Sid Young]

G'Day all,

I am pulling what hair I have left out trying to get a list of servernames passed into an orchestration:

/srv/pillar/wp-servers.sls

servers:

  - wp-nginx-01

  - wp-nginx-02

  - wp-haproxy-01

  - wp-redis-01

  -  wp-db-01

What should my "pillar="" command line option look like to reference the actual file?I even added it to /srv/pillar/top.sls under the base to force it to be included and no luck.

Also in my orchestration SLS file, I assume I can just use:

{% set wp_servers = salt['pillar.get']('servers') %}

I understand the runner has no idea of minions but surly I can pass in a file fo data rather than hardcode it in the SLS file (last resort).

Very frustrating!

so, no you cannot pass in a file... pillar option only accepts a dict that will be parsed AS pillar.

however. the saltmaster also has pillars. the trick is finding it's id and assigning them.
