I set up a beacon that tracks disk usage on all the Ubuntu Server 16.04 minions on Ubuntu Server 16.04. We wanted a reactor that emails us when disk space reaches a certain point. This question focuses on the master's ability to send an email. When I run the following command on the salt-master:

sudo salt-call smtp.send_msg 'em...@email.com' 'Test message 3' subject='Test subject 3' profile='smtp-default'

I get the following result:

[ERROR   ] An un-handled exception was caught by salt's global exception handler:
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/salt-call", line 11, in <module>

This is my salt --versions-report output of the master that returns the error:

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the salt-master and salt-minion and I have updated Python and the salt-master. I also created another salt-master and it ran into the same problem. What is the fix or solution to this?

You need to configure salt-minion for the default profile or pass the password as argument.
See the doc for more info
