Salt-key documentation
salt-key [ options ]
Salt-key executes simple management of Salt server public keys used for authentication.
--version
Print the version of Salt that is running.
--versions-report
Show program's dependencies and version number, and then exit
-h, --help
Show the help message and exit
-c CONFIG_DIR, --config-dir=CONFIG_dir
The location of the Salt configuration directory. This directory contains the configuration files for Salt master and minions. The default location on most systems is /etc/salt.
-q, --quiet
Suppress output
-y, --yes
Answer 'Yes' to all questions presented, defaults to False
Logging options which override any settings defined on the configuration files.
--log-file=LOG_FILE
Log file path. Default: /var/log/salt/minion.
--log-file-level=LOG_LEVEL_LOGFILE
Logfile logging log level. One of all, garbage, trace, debug, info, warning, error, quiet. Default: warning.
--out
Pass in an alternative outputter to display the return of data. This outputter can be any of the available outputters: grains, highstate, json, key, overstatestage, pprint, raw, txt, yaml
Some outputters are formatted only for data returned from specific functions; for instance, the grains outputter will not work for non-grains data.
If an outputter is used that does not support the data passed into it, then Salt will fall back on the pprint outputter and display the return data using the Python pprint standard library module.
NOTE: If using --out=json, you will probably want --static as well. Without the static option, you will get a JSON string for each minion. This is due to using an iterative outputter. So if you want to feed it to a JSON parser, use --static as well.
--out-indent OUTPUT_INDENT, --output-indent OUTPUT_INDENT
Print the output indented by the provided value in spaces. Negative values disable indentation. Only applicable in outputters that support indentation.
--out-file=OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
Write the output to the specified file.
--no-color
Disable all colored output
--force-color
Force colored output
-l ARG, --list=ARG

-L, --list-all
List all public keys. (Deprecated: use --list all)
-a ACCEPT, --accept=ACCEPT
Accept the specified public key (use --include-all to match rejected keys in addition to pending keys). Globs are supported.
-A, --accept-all
Accepts all pending keys.
-r REJECT, --reject=REJECT
Reject the specified public key (use --include-all to match accepted keys in addition to pending keys). Globs are supported.
-R, --reject-all

--gen-keys-dir=GEN_KEYS_DIR
Set the directory to save the generated keypair. Only works with 'gen_keys_dir' option; default is the current directory.
--keysize=KEYSIZE
Set the keysize for the generated key, only works with the '--gen-keys' option, the key size must be 2048 or higher, otherwise it will be rounded up to 2048. The default is 2048.
