salt.modules.logmod#

On-demand logging#

New in version 2017.7.0.

The sole purpose of this module is logging messages in the (proxy) minion. It comes very handy when debugging complex Jinja templates, for example:

{%- for var in range(10) %}
  {%- do salt["log.info"](var) -%}
{%- endfor %}

CLI Example:

salt '*' log.error "Please don't do that, this module is not for CLI use!"

salt.modules.logmod.critical(message)#: Log message at level CRITICAL.

salt.modules.logmod.debug(message)#: Log message at level DEBUG.

salt.modules.logmod.error(message)#: Log message at level ERROR.

salt.modules.logmod.exception(message)#: Log message at level EXCEPTION.

salt.modules.logmod.info(message)#: Log message at level INFO.

salt.modules.logmod.warning(message)#: Log message at level WARNING.
