Replaced test.ping with test.version 
Result of issue #52277

Any where `test.ping` still exists in the docs was left
because of the context in those docs.

Matching the minion id

Each minion needs a unique identifier. By default when a minion starts for the first time it chooses its FQDN (fully qualified domain name) as that identifier. The minion id can be overridden via the minion's id configuration setting.

Tip

minion id and minion keys

The minion id is used to generate the minion's public/private keys and if it ever changes the master must then accept the new key as though the minion was a new host.

Globbing

The default matching that Salt utilizes is shell-style globbing <python2:fnmatch> around the minion id. This also works for states in the top file.

Note

You must wrap salt calls that use globbing in single-quotes to prevent the shell from expanding the globs before Salt is invoked.

Match all minions:

salt '*' test.version

Match all minions in the example.net domain or any of the example domains:

salt '*.example.net' test.version
salt '*.example.*' test.version

Match all the webN minions in the example.net domain (web1.example.net, web2.example.net … webN.example.net):

salt 'web?.example.net' test.version

Match the web1 through web5 minions:

salt 'web[1-5]' test.version

Match the web1 and web3 minions:

salt 'web[1,3]' test.version

Match the web-x, web-y, and web-z minions:

salt 'web-[x-z]' test.version

Note

For additional targeting methods please review the compound matchers <targeting-compound> documentation.

Regular Expressions

Minions can be matched using Perl-compatible regular expressions <python2:re> (which is globbing on steroids and a ton of caffeine).

Match both web1-prod and web1-devel minions:

salt -E 'web1-(prod|devel)' test.version

When using regular expressions in a State's top file, you must specify the matcher as the first option. The following example executes the contents of webserver.sls on the above-mentioned minions.

base:
  'web1-(prod|devel)':
  - match: pcre
  - webserver

Lists

At the most basic level, you can specify a flat list of minion IDs:

salt -L 'web1,web2,web3' test.version
