salt.returners.rawfile_json

Take data from salt and "return" it into a raw file containing the json, with one line per event.

Add the following to the minion or master configuration file.

rawfile_json.filename: <path_to_output_file>

Default is /var/log/salt/events.

Common use is to log all events on the master. This can generate a lot of noise, so you may wish to configure batch processing and/or configure the event_return_whitelist or event_return_blacklist to restrict the events that are written.

salt.returners.rawfile_json.event_return(events)

Write event data (return data and non-return data) to file on the master.

salt.returners.rawfile_json.returner(ret)

Write the return data to a file on the minion.
