salt.returners.postgres_local_cache¶

Use a postgresql server for the master job cache. This helps the job cache to cope with scale.

Stable

depends:

psycopg2

platform:

all

To enable this returner the minion will need the psycopg2 installed and the following values configured in the master config:

master_job_cache: postgres_local_cache
master_job_cache.postgres.host: 'salt'
master_job_cache.postgres.user: 'salt'
master_job_cache.postgres.passwd: 'salt'
master_job_cache.postgres.db: 'salt'
master_job_cache.postgres.port: 5432

Running the following command as the postgres user should create the database correctly:

psql << EOF
CREATE ROLE salt WITH PASSWORD 'salt';
CREATE DATABASE salt WITH OWNER salt;
EOF

In case the postgres database is a remote host, you'll need this command also:

ALTER ROLE salt WITH LOGIN;

and then:

psql -h localhost -U salt << EOF

-- Table structure for table 'jids'
--

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS jids;
CREATE TABLE jids (
  jid   varchar(20) PRIMARY KEY,
  started TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT now(),
  tgt_type text NOT NULL,
  cmd text NOT NULL,
  tgt text NOT NULL,
  kwargs text NOT NULL,
  ret text NOT NULL,
  username text NOT NULL,
  arg text NOT NULL,
  fun text NOT NULL
);

-- Table structure for table 'salt_returns'

-- note that 'success' must not have NOT NULL constraint, since
-- some functions don't provide it.

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS salt_returns;
CREATE TABLE salt_returns (
  added     TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT now(),
  fun       text NOT NULL,
  jid       varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  return    text NOT NULL,
  id        text NOT NULL,
  success   boolean
);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_returns (added);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_returns (id);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_returns (jid);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_returns (fun);

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS salt_events;
CREATE TABLE salt_events (
  id SERIAL,
  tag text NOT NULL,
  data text NOT NULL,
  alter_time TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE DEFAULT now(),
  master_id text NOT NULL
);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_events (tag);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_events (data);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_events (id);
CREATE INDEX ON salt_events (master_id);
EOF

Required python modules: psycopg2

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.clean_old_jobs()¶

Clean out the old jobs from the job cache

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.event_return(events)¶

Return event to a postgres server

Require that configuration be enabled via 'event_return' option in master config.

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.get_jid(jid)¶

Return the information returned when the specified job id was executed

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.get_jids()¶

Return a list of all job ids For master job cache this also formats the output and returns a string

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.get_load(jid)¶

Return the load data that marks a specified jid

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.prep_jid(nocache=False, passed_jid=None)¶

Return a job id and prepare the job id directory This is the function responsible for making sure jids don't collide (unless its passed a jid). So do what you have to do to make sure that stays the case

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.returner(load)¶

Return data to a postgres server

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.save_load(jid, clear_load, minions=None)¶

Save the load to the specified jid id

salt.returners.postgres_local_cache.save_minions(jid, minions, syndic_id=None)¶
