<#
.SYNOPSIS Invokes functions against a Salt Master running REST_CHERRYPY using Salt's Python API (https://docs.saltproject.io/en/latest/ref/clients/index.html#python-api) .DESCRIPTION Everything possible at the CLI is possible through the Python API. Commands are executed on the Salt Master. Invoke-SaltApiFunction accepts a Target paramerter as well as parameters for both arguments ($Arg) and kwargs ($kwarg). Arguments are passed in as Arrays and kwargs are passed in as a hashtable (or dictionary). .EXAMPLE PS> $arg = @('highstate') PS> Invoke-SaltApiFunction -Client local -Function 'state.apply' -Target '*' -Arg $arg Run the state.apply function on the 'local' client to run the teststate sls against all minions. .EXAMPLE PS> Invoke-SaltApiFunction -Client runner -Function cache.grains -Kwarg @{tgt = 'minion1'} Run the cache.grains function on the runner client to get cache grains for the target minion1. .EXAMPLE PS> $kwarg = @{match=@('minion1', 'minion2')} PS> Invoke-SaltApiFunction -Client wheel -Function 'key.finger' -Kwarg $kwarg Run the key.finger function on the wheel client to get the public key fingerprint for the list of minions. .OUTPUTS PSCustomObject .NOTES General notes .LINK #> function Invoke-SaltApiFunction { [CmdletBinding(SupportsShouldProcess = $true)] param ( [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 0)] [string] [ValidateSet('local', 'runner', 'wheel')] $Client, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, Position = 1)] [string] $Target, [Parameter(Mandatory = $true, Position = 2)] [string] $Function, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, Position = 3)] # [string] $Arg, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false, Position = 4)] [hashtable] $kwarg, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [Switch] $SkipCertificateCheck = $false, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType] $SslProtocol, [Parameter(Mandatory = $false)] [string] $TimeoutSec ) # # Tests # $Client = 'wheel' # $Target = $null # $Function = 'key.finger' # Check to see if there is an existing connection to SaltStack try { Check-SaltAPIConnection } catch { throw $_ } if ($SslProtocol) { [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = $SslProtocol } $server = $global:SaltAPIConnection.Server $port = $global:SaltAPIConnection.Port $token = $global:SaltAPIConnection.Token $url = "https://${server}:$port/" $header = @{ 'Accept' = 'application/json' 'Content-type' = 'application/json' 'X-Auth-Token' = $token } $body = @{ client = $Client fun = $Function # tgt_type = 'compound' # tgt = $Target # arg = @('highstate') # match = @('minion1') # include_rejected = $true } if ($Kwarg) { foreach ($k in $kwarg.keys) { $body.Add($k, $kwarg[$k]) } } if ($Target) { $body.Add('tgt', $Target) } if ($Arg) { $body.Add('arg', $Arg) } $webRequestParams = @{ Uri = $url SkipCertificateCheck = $SkipCertificateCheck Body = (ConvertTo-Json $body) Headers = $header Method = 'Post' } if ($TimeoutSec) { $webRequestParams.Add('TimeoutSec', $TimeoutSec) } try { $webRequest = Invoke-WebRequest @webRequestParams $properties = @{ StatusCode = $webRequest.StatusCode StatusDescription = $webRequest.StatusDescription Content = $webrequest.Content | ConvertFrom-Json | Select-Object -ExpandProperty return } $obj = New-Object -TypeName PSCustomObject -Property $properties Write-Output -InputObject $obj | Select-Object StatusCode, StatusDescription, Content } catch { Write-Error ("Failure running the salt-api function: " + $_) } } |
