I'm trying to apply a salt state to my non prod environment at /srv/salt/non-prod I'm getting this result:
[root@salt non-prod]# salt '*' state.apply
salt.localdomain:

Function: no.None
Result: False
Comment: No Top file or external nodes data matches found.

I have this location defined in my master config
non-prod:
- /srv/non-prod
- /srv/salt/non-prod/services
- /srv/salt/non-prod/states
I have a top file located here:
[root@salt ~]# cat /srv/salt/non-prod/top.sls
base:
'*':
- apache
- python
- ssh
- users
These are the contents of the non-prod directory
[root@salt ~]# ls -lh /srv/salt/non-prod/

it contains a few salt modules
How can I apply salt states to just the non-prod environment?
If you check the syntax using some yaml validation tools, then we can go to next step.
Read saltstack top documentation thoroughly, you will notice setting different environment, you first explicitly define alternate environment name on /etc/salt/master and also specify it under top.sls
i.e., you file_roots specify the non-prod environment
file_roots:
#non-prod environment
non-prod:
- /srv/non-prod
- /srv/salt/non-prod/services
- /srv/salt/non-prod/states
Thus your top.sls should use the environment name non-prod , not base
non-prod:
'*':
- apache
- python
- ssh
- users
Since saltstack always use "base" environment by default, you should apply the state explicitly.
salt '*' state.highstate saltenv=non-prod
