When the minion starts for the first time, it searches the network for a system named salt (though this can be easily changed to an IP or different hostname). Connections to this port are 1:1 between the Salt master and Salt minion (not asynchronous). (port 4506) Salt minions connect to the request server as needed to send results to the Salt master, and to securely request files and minion-specific data values (called Salt pillar). Commands are sent asynchronously to all connections over this port, which enables commands to be executed over large numbers of systems simultaniously. (port 4505) All Salt minions establish a persistent connection to the publisher port where they listen for messages. The Salt master uses ports 45, which must be opened to accept incoming connections. Connections are initiated by the Salt minion, which means that you do not need to open any incoming ports on those systems (thereby reducing the attack vector). Salt communicates with managed systems using a publish-subscribe pattern. A single Salt master can manage thousands of systems. The Salt master is responsible for sending commands to Salt minions, and then aggregating and displaying the results of those commands. The server component is called the Salt master, and the agent is called the Salt minion. Salt uses a server-agent communication model, (though it works well as a standalone single-server management utility, and also provides the ability to run agentless over SSH). 03:15:55,441 Start RaaS engine polling iteration.Īnd the log repeats the above content periodically.This section describes the Salt communication model along with a basic overview of authentication and security.

Setup and Steps to Reproduce IssueĬLI returns visible minion, SSE doesn't see it as connected. I restarted the RaaS service, master service, and deleted/accepted the minion keys, but nothing works. Please let me know if you can glean any information as to why the minions are not checking in. Maybe this can be tracked down using the master log file. Minions are not checking in when using the SSE web portal.
