New minions don't automatically refresh_pillar

[hdonnay]

The pillar sls:

{% set master = [ 'green-master', 'blue-master', 'black-master' ] -%}
{% set storage = [ 'green', 'blue', 'black' ] -%}
{% set roles = salt['grains.get']('role', []) -%}
iptables:

  spf_allow:
    - 22
{%- if 'database' in roles %}
    - 5432
{%- endif %}
{%- for role in master %}{% if role in roles %}
    # superpeer port
    - 4283
    # hazelcast port
    - 4286
{%- endif %}{% endfor %}

{%- if 'balancer' in roles %}
  wan_allow:
    - 80
    - 443
{%- endif %}

{%- for role in master %}{% if role in roles %}
  wan_allow:
    - 443
    - 4242
    - 80

  web_nat:
    - [ 80, 8080 ]
    - [ 443, 8443 ]

  wan_nat:
    - [ 443, 4242 ]
{%- endif %}{% endfor %}

{%- for role in storage %}{% if role in roles %}
  wan_allow:
    - 4282

  wan_nat:
    - [ 443, 4282 ]
{%- endif %}{% endfor %}

output:

This also only happens on some nodes, I can't seem to find a pattern as to why.

Have you tried salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar?

Still, odd. We'll get it looked at.

[hdonnay]

yeah, this seems to have fixed itself since my first post.

Any insight as to why still very much appreciated.

[basepi]

So you can no longer reproduce the problem?

[hdonnay]

Seems to happen on new nodes. After a saltutil.sync_all and a saltutil.refresh_pillar it seems to have gone away, but I didn't do any testing around this.

[basepi]

I've renamed the issue to better describe the issue. Thanks for the additional info.

[thatch45]

This is the same issue as the other pillar bugs

[basepi]

@thatch45 Awesome. I'm not 100% sure I remember cherry-picking a pillar issue -- have we verified that it's in the 0.15 branch?

@hdonnay If you could test this again using the current develop branch, that would be helpful. =)

[basepi]

I'm closing this, as the fix is included in 0.15.3, announced later today.
