Reducing SaltStack log verbosity for TravisCI

Servo has some Salt configs, hosted on GitHub, for which changes are smoke-tested on TravisCI before they’re deployed. Travis only shows the first 10k lines of log output, so I want to minimize the amount of extraneous information that the states print.

My salt state looks like::

android-sdk:
  archive.extracted:
    - name: {{ common.homedir }}/android/sdk/{{ android.sdk.version }}
    - source: https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_{{
      android.sdk.version }}-linux.tgz
    - source_hash: sha512={{ android.sdk.sha512 }}
    - archive_format: tar
    - archive_user: user
    - if_missing: {{ common.homedir }}/android/sdk/{{ android.sdk.version
      }}/android-sdk-linux
    - require:
      - user: user

The output in TravisCI is::

      ID: android-sdk
Function: archive.extracted
    Name: /home/user/android/sdk/r24.4.1
  Result: True
 Comment: https://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r24.4.1-linux.tgz extracted in /home/user/android/sdk/r24.4.1/
 Started: 17:46:25.900436
Duration: 19540.846 ms
 Changes:
          ----------
          directories_created:
              - /home/user/android/sdk/r24.4.1/
              - /home/user/android/sdk/r24.4.1/android-sdk-linux

          extracted_files:
              ... 2755 lines listing one file per line that I don't want to see in the log

https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/states/all/salt.states.archive.html has useful guidance on how to increase the tar state’s verbosity, but not to decrease it. This is because the extra 2755 lines aren’t coming from tar itself, but from Salt assuming that we want to know.

terse outputter settings

The outputter takes several state_output setting options. The terse option summarizes the result of each state into a single line.

There are a couple places you can set this:

Invoke Salt with salt --state-output=terse hostname state.highstate
Add the line state_output: terse to /etc/salt/minion, if you’re using salt-call
Setting state_output_terse is apparently an option, though I can’t find any example of a real-world salt config that uses it
