salt command output filtering

[Alex Bolgarov]

Is there a way to filter output of the 'salt' command so that it shows only changes (blue parts) and errors (red parts)?

Because now, when I 'm developing and debugging my sls tree and adding one by one new elements, on every 'salt ... highstate' run it outputs several screens of 'no changes' results (green) with one change (or error) that I'm interested in burrowed somewhere in between, I need to scroll the terminal up to see it. As I add elements to the sls tree, the amount of the output is increasing, and it is harder and harder to find the change or error. If I can filter out 'no changes' output parts, I would see the only important things right away.

look at the state_verbose and state_output options in your master config.
