salt.states.grains¶

Manage grains on the minion.¶

This state allows for grains to be set. If a grain with the given name exists, its value is updated to the new value. If a grain does not yet exist, a new grain is set to the given value. Grains set or altered this way are stored in the 'grains' file on the minions, by default at: /etc/salt/grains

Note: This does NOT override any grains set in the minion file.
