# salt.returners.memcache_return

Return data to a memcache server

To enable this returner the minion will need the python client for memcache installed and the following values configured in the minion or master config, these are the defaults.

    memcache.host: 'localhost'
    memcache.port: '11211'

Alternative configuration values can be used by prefacing the configuration. Any values not found in the alternative configuration will be pulled from the default location.

    alternative.memcache.host: 'localhost'
    alternative.memcache.port: '11211'

python2-memcache uses 'localhost' and '11211' as syntax on connection.

To use the memcache returner, append '--return memcache' to the salt command.

    salt '*' test.ping --return memcache

To use the alternative configuration, append '--return_config alternative' to the salt command.

New in version 2015.5.0.

    salt '*' test.ping --return memcache --return_config alternative

To override individual configuration items, append --return_kwargs '{"key:": "value"}' to the salt command.

New in version 2016.3.0.

    salt '*' test.ping --return memcache --return_kwargs '{"host": "hostname.domain.com"}'
