salt.cache.mysql_cache¶

Minion data cache plugin for MySQL database.

It is up to the system administrator to set up and configure the MySQL infrastructure. All is needed for this plugin is a working MySQL server.

The module requires the database (default salt_cache) to exist but creates its own table if needed. The keys are indexed using the bank and etcd_key columns.

To enable this cache plugin, the master will need the python client for MySQL installed. This can be easily installed with pip:

pip install pymysql

Optionally, depending on the MySQL agent configuration, the following values could be set in the master config. These are the defaults:

mysql.host: 127.0.0.1
mysql.port: 2379
mysql.user: None
mysql.password: None
mysql.database: salt_cache
mysql.table_name: cache

Related docs can be found in the python-mysql documentation.

To use the mysql as a minion data cache backend, set the master cache config value to mysql:

cache: mysql
