Copy a file to a set of systems
SYNOPSISsalt-cp '*' [ options ] SOURCE DEST
salt-cp-E '.*' [ options ] SOURCE DEST
salt-cp-G 'os:Arch.*' [ options ] SOURCE DEST
DESCRIPTION
Salt copy copies a local file out to all of the Salt minions matched by
the given target.
Note: salt-cp uses salt's publishing mechanism. This means the privacy
of the contents of the file on the wire are completely dependant upon
the transport in use. In addition, if the salt-master is running with
debug logging it is possible that the contents of the file will be
logged to disk.
OPTIONS--version
Print the version of Salt that is running.
--versions-report
Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit
-h, --help
Show the help message and exit
-c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
The location of the Salt configuration directory. This directory
contains the configuration files for Salt master and minions.
The default location on most systems is /usr/local/etc/salt.
-t TIMEOUT, --timeout=TIMEOUT
The timeout in seconds to wait for replies from the Salt min‐
ions. The timeout number specifies how long the command line
client will wait to query the minions and check on running jobs.
Default: 5
Logging Options
Logging options which override any settings defined on the configura‐
tion files.
-l LOG_LEVEL, --log-level=LOG_LEVEL
Console logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug,
info, warning, error, quiet. Default: warning.
--log-file=LOG_FILE
Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/master.
--log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug,
info, warning, error, quiet. Default: warning.
Target Selection
-E, --pcre
The target expression will be interpreted as a PCRE regular
expression rather than a shell glob.
-L, --list
The target expression will be interpreted as a comma-delimited
list; example: server1.foo.bar,server2.foo.bar,example7.quo.qux
-G, --grain
The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains
system on the minions. The target expression is in the format of
'<grain value>:<glob expression>'; example: 'os:Arch*'
This was changed in version 0.9.8 to accept glob expressions
instead of regular expression. To use regular expression match‐
ing with grains, use the --grain-pcre option.
--grain-pcre
The target expression matches values returned by the Salt grains
system on the minions. The target expression is in the format of
'<grain value>:< regular expression>'; example: 'os:Arch.*'
-N, --nodegroup
Use a predefined compound target defined in the Salt master con‐
figuration file.
-R, --range
Instead of using shell globs to evaluate the target, use a range
expression to identify targets. Range expressions look like
%cluster.
Using the Range option requires that a range server is set up
and the location of the range server is referenced in the master
configuration file.
