# salt.modules.augeas_cfg

Manages configuration files via augeas

This module requires the `augeas` Python module.

Warning

Minimal installations of Debian and Ubuntu have been seen to have packaging bugs with python-augeas, causing the augeas module to fail to import. If the minion has the augeas module installed, but the functions in this execution module fail to run due to being unavailable, first restart the salt-minion service. If the problem persists past that, the following command can be run from the master to determine what is causing the import to fail:

    salt minion-id cmd.run 'python -c "from augeas import Augeas"'

For affected Debian/Ubuntu hosts, installing `libpython2.7` has been known to resolve the issue.

`salt.modules.augeas_cfg.` `get`(path, value='')

  Get a value for a specific augeas path

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.get /files/etc/hosts/1/ ipaddr

`salt.modules.augeas_cfg.` `ls`(path)

  List the direct children of a node

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.ls /files/etc/passwd

`salt.modules.augeas_cfg.` `match`(path, value='')

  Get matches for path expression

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.match /files/etc/services/service-name ssh

`salt.modules.augeas_cfg.` `remove`(path)

  Get matches for path expression

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.remove /files/etc/sysctl.conf/net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians

`salt.modules.augeas_cfg.` `setvalue`(*args)

  Set a value for a specific augeas path

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.setvalue /files/etc/hosts/1/canonical localhost

  This will set the first entry in /etc/hosts to localhost

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.setvalue /files/etc/hosts/01/ipaddr 192.168.1.1 \
                               /files/etc/hosts/01/canonical test

  Adds a new host to /etc/hosts the ip address 192.168.1.1 and hostname test

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.setvalue prefix=/files/etc/sudoers/ \
               "spec[user = '%wheel']/user" "%wheel" \
               "spec[user = '%wheel']/host_group/host" 'ALL' \
               "spec[user = '%wheel']/host_group/command[1]" 'ALL' \
               "spec[user = '%wheel']/host_group/command[1]/tag" 'PASSWD' \
               "spec[user = '%wheel']/host_group/command[2]" '/usr/bin/apt-get' \
               "spec[user = '%wheel']/host_group/command[2]/tag" NOPASSWD

  Ensures that the following line is present in /etc/sudoers:

      %wheel ALL = PASSWD : ALL , NOPASSWD : /usr/bin/apt-get , /usr/bin/aptitude

`salt.modules.augeas_cfg.` `tree`(path)

  Returns recursively the complete tree of a node

  CLI Example:

      salt '*' augeas.tree /files/etc/
