Out of the two procedures of a Salt event system, one is listening to Salt events. In this chapter, we will learn about the different procedures to listen for Salt events.
On the Salt master, create a file anywhere called
cookbookeventslisten.pyand edit it so it has the following content:#!/usr/bin/python import salt.config import salt.utils.event import time import pprint opts = salt.config.client_config('/etc/salt/master') event = salt.utils.event.get_event( 'master', sock_dir=opts['sock_dir'], transport=opts['transport'], opts=opts) response = event.get_event(wait=30, tag='cookbook/test') print('Event fired at {0}'.format(time.asctime())) print('*' * 25) print('Tag: {0}'.format(response['tag'])) print('Data:') pprint.pprint(response['data'])Run the script in either of the following ways; however, there will be no output as no events have been sent yet:
[root@salt-master ~]# ./cookbookeventslisten.py [root@salt-master...
