Using modules in sls files. ie network.ip_addrs

[David Ward]

Hi all,

I am trying to set a var to the systems local IP address so I can use it in a template. I am using this:

IP: {{ salt['network.ip_addrs']('eth0') }}

The issue is in the file I have:

  ['10.10.10.11']

All I want is:

  10.10.10.11

Is there a better way? Am I missing something?

Hi David,

Maybe the following blog post [1] would help you.

Ahh of course, it is just python and it is returning a list and I am using the whole list, hence the [''] syntax.

So I have changed this:

  IP: {{ salt['network.ip_addrs']('eth0') }}

to:

  IP: {{ salt['network.ip_addrs']('eth0')[0] }}

And rerun my little test file:

localhost:

----------

    State: - file

    Name:      /root/test

    Function:  managed

        Result:    True

        Comment:   File /root/test updated

Thanks to putting me on the right track Valentin
