salt.pillar.csvpillar module

Store key/value pairs in a CSV file

Example configuration:

ext_pillar:
  - csv: /path/to/file.csv

# or

ext_pillar:
  - csv:
      path: /path/to/file.csv
      namespace: 'subkey'
      fieldnames:
      - col1
      - col2
      - col2

The first column must be minion IDs and the first row must be dictionary keys. E.g.:

id	role	env

Will produce the following Pillar values for a minion named "jerry":

{
    'role': 'web',
    'env': 'prod',
}

salt.pillar.csvpillar.ext_pillar(mid, pillar, path, idkey='id', namespace=None, fieldnames=None, restkey=None, restval=None, dialect='excel')
