# salt.states.salt_proxy

Salt proxy state

Added in version 2015.8.2.

State to deploy and run salt-proxy processes on a minion.

Set up pillar data for your proxies per the documentation.

Run the state as below

    salt-proxy-configure:
        salt_proxy.configure_proxy:
            - proxyname: p8000
            - start: True

This state will configure the salt proxy settings within /etc/salt/proxy (if /etc/salt/proxy doesn't exists) and start the salt-proxy process (default true), if it isn't already running.

salt.states.salt_proxy.configure_proxy(name, proxyname='p8000', start=True)

  Create the salt proxy file and start the proxy process if required

  Parameters:

    - name -- The name of this state

    - proxyname -- Name to be used for this proxy (should match entries in pillar)

    - start -- Boolean indicating if the process should be started

  Example:

      salt-proxy-configure:
          salt_proxy.configure_proxy:
              - proxyname: p8000
              - start: True
