If pillar directory is not there, create it and also add a corresponding entry for pillars in /etc/salt/master. b. Copy the files states/install.sls, states/uninstall.sls and states/status.sls into your salt state home directory [ /srv/salt/ for most users ]. If salt state directory is not there, create it and also add a corresponding entry for salts in /etc/salt/master.
4. Make the following changes : a. Edit your salt state top.sls file [ /srv/salt/top.sls ]. Add "- install" , "- status" , " -uninstall" entries under your required environment. b. Edit your pillar top.sls file [ /srv/pillar/top.sls]. Add "- site24x7" entry under your required environment. c. Edit the /srv/pillar/site24x7.sls file. Replace the devicekey with the actual device key obtained from our portal. Replace proxy values if required in the proxy field (Let it be "None" if no proxy is required. )
