[salt-users] 2015.5 change that drives me nuts ...

All - after upgrading to 2015.5 ... there is "new" behavior in the salt

turn it off ...

In previous versions if you ran a command, only minions that returned data
were actually output with their results. Now with 2015.5 - those minions
return ... plus any and all minions that are "Not Connected" ...

In our environment - we have a LOT of rapidly spun up and deleted VM
instances that register salt keys - and hence ... have 100s (current count
is 1108) that return ... Frankly - I don't care!

HOW do I disable this new "behavior"? I *only* want output if a minion
matched the targeting rules and returned something (or returned False).

I realize we need to clean up our key management! :-)

Thank you in advance,

Try the --hide-timeout option. It claims that it "Instead of showing the
return data for all minions. This option prints only the online minions
which could be reached."

See http://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/cli/salt.html

Personally, I prefer the default to output failures and allow excluding
them. Silent failures when you're not expecting them worry me.

Shane,

Alas, that's a good argument for following the mailing list on at least a
quasi-regular basis. There have been horrific squeals of confused agony
over the last couple years wrt console users not being able to "see"
minions that *should* be up but aren't responding--thus the change. I
don't think anyone actually posited the (then) default being superior in
any way.

You know, I used to think it was awful that life was so unfair. Then I
thought, wouldn't it be much worse if life were fair, and all the terrible
things that happen to us come because we actually deserve them? So, now I
take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe.
