In our infrastructure, we set multiple grains on the minion including an 'environment' and 'component' grain. Based on this, there can be multiple minions with the same component name, each in a different environment. I want to be able to select minions based on multiple grains instead of having to define several node groups on the master.
I have tried:
salt -G 'component:api,environment:prod' test.ping
Which seems not to work, I have looked their their documentation fairly extensively and have found no examples of this type of minion targeting.
Is this even possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it?
I just came across the info I was looking for but apparently missed earlier. This can be done with compound matching
salt -C 'G@environment:prod and G@component:accounts' test.ping
