Pillars#

Salt includes a number of built-in external pillars, listed at pillar modules.

The below links contain documentation for the configuration options

  • master-side configuration

  • minion-side configuration

Note that some of same the configuration options from the master are present in the minion configuration file, these are used in masterless mode.

The source for the built-in Salt pillars can be found here: salt/pillar
