First let's add some key values into our vault. vault write secret/ssh/user1 password="abc123" Then you can check it by reading: vault read secret/ssh/user1 To allow salt to access your secrets you must firstly create a policy as follows: salt-policy.hcl [code] path "secret/*" { capabilities = ["read", "list"] } path "auth/*" { capabilities = ["read", "list","sudo",...

How to grep the output of cURL?

By
curl writes the output to stderr, so redirect that and also suppress the progress: curl - v -- silent https :// google . com / 2 >& 1 | grep expire The reason why  curl  writes the information to stderr is so you can do: curl <url> | someprgram  without that information clobbering the input of  someprogram It is possible to use  --stderr -  as parameter, to redirect the output from stderr (default) to stdout. With this option you also should use  --silent  to suppress the progress bar. $ curl - v -- silent https :// google . com / -- stderr - | grep expire * expire date : 2015 - 09 - 01 00 : 00 : 00 GMT
