[salt-users] Possible to capture output in state files?

Hello,


I would like to know if it is possible to 'capture' output in a state so I
can use it later in event data.

For example I got this state;

~~
update-packages:
pkg.uptodate:
- refresh: True

event-completed:
event.send:
- name: 'jwz/custom/maintenance/status'
- data:
status: 'completed'
- require:
- pkg: update-packages
~~

If I could capture the output from 'update-packages' I could use this in
the event.send state to report changed packages. I don't think this is
possible, but perhaps some jinja guru meditation(tm) can be applied.
Running cmd.run "yum update" etc. is an option but I like to keep it native
salt.

Any feedback welcome!
