This module renders highstate configuration into a more human readable format.
How it works:
highstate or lowstate data is parsed with a processor this defaults to highstate_doc.processor_markdown. The processed data is passed to a jinja template that builds up the document content.
configuration: Pillar
# the following defaults can be overridden
highstate_doc.config:
# list of regex of state names to ignore in `highstate_doc.process_lowstates`
filter_id_regex:
- '.*!doc_skip$'
# list of regex of state functions to ignore in `highstate_doc.process_lowstates`
filter_state_function_regex:
- 'file.accumulated'
# dict of regex to replace text after `highstate_doc.render`. (remove passwords)
text_replace_regex:
'password:.*^': '[PASSWORD]'
# limit size of files that can be included in doc (10000 bytes)
max_render_file_size: 10000
# advanced option to set a custom lowstate processor
processor: highstate_doc.processor_markdown
State example
{{sls}} note:
highstate_doc.note:
- name: example
- order: 0
- contents: |
example `highstate_doc.note`
------------------
This state does not do anything to the system! It is only used by a `processor`
you can use `requisites` and `order` to move your docs around the rendered file.
{{sls}} a file we don't want in the doc !doc_skip:
file.managed:
- name: /root/passwords
- contents: 'password: sadefgq34y45h56q'
# also could use `highstate_doc.config: text_replace_regex` to replace
# password string. `password:.*^': '[PASSWORD]`
To create the help document build a State that uses highstate_doc.render. For performance it's advised to not included this state in your top.sls file.
# example `salt://makereadme.sls`
make helpfile:
file.managed:
- name: /root/README.md
- contents: {{salt.highstate_doc.render()|json}}
- show_diff: {{opts['test']}}
- mode: '0640'
- order: last
Run our makereadme.sls state to create /root/README.md.
# first ensure `highstate` return without errors or changes
salt-call state.highstate
salt-call state.apply makereadme
# or if you don't want the extra `make helpfile` state
salt-call --out=newline_values_only salt.highstate_doc.render > /root/README.md ; chmod 0600 /root/README.md
From the master we can run the following script to creates a collection of all your minion documents.
salt '*' state.apply makereadme
#!/bin/python
import os
import salt.client
s = salt.client.LocalClient()
# NOTE: because of issues with `cp.push` use `highstate_doc.read_file`
o = s.cmd('*', 'highstate_doc.read_file', ['/root/README.md'])
for m in o:
d = o.get(m)
if d and not d.endswith('is not available.'):
# mkdir m
#directory = os.path.dirname(file_path)
if not os.path.exists(m):
os.makedirs(m)
with open(m + '/README.md','wb') as f:
f.write(d)
print('ADDED: ' + m + '/README.md')
Once the master has a collection of all the README files. You can use pandoc to create HTML versions of the markdown.
# process all the readme.md files to readme.html
if which pandoc; then echo "Found pandoc"; else echo "** Missing pandoc"; exit 1; fi
if which gs; then echo "Found gs"; else echo "** Missing gs(ghostscript)"; exit 1; fi
readme_files=$(find $dest -type f -path "*/README.md" -print)
for f in $readme_files ; do
ff=${f#$dest/}
minion=${ff%%/*}
echo "process: $dest/${minion}/$(basename $f)"
cat $dest/${minion}/$(basename $f) | pandoc --standalone --from markdown_github --to html --include-in-header $dest/style.html > $dest/${minion}/$(basename $f).html
done
It is also nice to put the help files in source control.
# git init git add -A git commit -am 'updated docs' git push -f
If you wish to customize the document format:
# you could also create a new `processor` for perhaps reStructuredText
# highstate_doc.config:
# processor: doc_custom.processor_rst
# example `salt://makereadme.jinja`

Return text for a simple markdown jinja template
This function can be used from the highstate_doc.render modules jinja_template_function option.
Return text for a markdown jinja template that included a header
This function can be used from the highstate_doc.render modules jinja_template_function option.
Return text for an advanced markdown jinja template
This function can be used from the highstate_doc.render modules jinja_template_function option.
return processed lowstate data that was not blacklisted
render_module_function is used to provide your own. defaults to from_lowstate
Takes low state data and returns a dict of processed data that is by default used in a jinja template when rendering a markdown highstate_doc.
This lowstate_item_markdown given a lowstate item, returns a dict like:
vars: # the raw lowstate_item that was processed
id: # the 'id' of the state.
id_full: # combo of the state type and id "state: id"
state: # name of the salt state module
function: # name of the state function
name: # value of 'name:' passed to the salt state module
state_function: # the state name and function name
markdown: # text data to describe a state
requisites: # requisite like [watch_in, require_in]
details: # state name, parameters and other details like file contents
output the contents of a file:
this is a workaround if the cp.push module does not work. https://github.com/saltstack/salt/issues/37133
help the master output the contents of a document that might be saved on the minions filesystem.

Render highstate to a text format (default Markdown)
if jinja_template_text is not set, jinja_template_function is used.
jinja_template_text: jinja text that the render uses to create the document. jinja_template_function: a salt module call that returns template text.
