22.23.3.1.20. salt.returners.syslog_return

Return data to the host operating system's syslog facility

Required python modules: syslog, json

The syslog returner simply reuses the operating system's syslog facility to log return data

To use the syslog returner, append '--return syslog' to the salt command. ex:

salt '*' test.ping --return syslog
salt.returners.syslog_return.prep_jid(nocache, passed_jid=None)

Do any work necessary to prepare a JID, including sending a custom id

salt.returners.syslog_return.returner(ret)

Return data to the local syslog
