Saltstack Query

@roninmage it shouldn't just abort, instead it tells every minion to report back.
How many minions do you have?
-
@roninmage run this to list all minions
salt-run manage.up -
@DustinB3403 Somewhere from 350 - 500

Does the output you received have your minion list? You said "OK, I see what is happening; I have a very complete list of installed software but only a few of the minions. The last three minion names did not respond (probably turned off)."

@scottalanmiller OK, I see what is happening; I have a very complete list of installed software but only a few of the minions. The last three minion names did not respond (probably turned off). Does the command abort after a certain number of failures?
Yes, it only tries for so long, but it can be a while.

Does the SaltMaster maintain a list of all the minions?
Yes, it has to, or else it couldn't reach them.

@scottalanmiller OK, my screw-up. I just found out there are two saltmasters. One for Windows systems and the other for Linux boxes. That explains things. Only about 150 Windows systems. That may be all I need to address. I ran the command on the Windows saltmaster and have a nice list to work with. I appreciate all the help guys. This would have taken me many hours without your assistance.

No problem. Glad that we could help.

@roninmage are you responding to Scott or me?

@DustinB3403 Both, you both made my life a lot easier this week. I have a handle on the problem now and should have this completed tomorrow. I appreciate it.

@roninmage ah I was very confused based on your replies.
