'Salt External Pillar Issues
I am trying to configure an external pillar in github, but no matter what I cannot get the minions to successfully read top.sls. Below is my ext_pillar and pillar_roots config:
pillar_roots:
base:
- /srv/pillar
fileserver_backend:
- gitfs
- roots
gitfs_update_interval: 60
gitfs_base: main
gitfs_remotes:
- https://gituser:[email protected]/gitaccount/saltstack.git:
- mountpoint: salt://
ext_pillar:
- git:
- main https://gituser:[email protected]/gitaccount/saltpillar.git
I have the following in the root of my saltpillar repo:
top.sls:
base:
'*':
- data
data.sls:
info: some test data from remote pillar
Repos are accessible with the URIs provided. When I run salt '*' saltutil.refresh_pillar and then salt '*' pillar.items I get no results. However, I can put top.sls and data.sls directly into /srv/pillar and it works. I put the master in debug mode and don't see any errors running the commands. Any help is appreciated.

Does the following ext_pillar configuration fix your issue? I'm assuming your top.sls you posted is still in the main branch of your git repo.
ext_pillar:
- git:
- main https://gituser:[email protected]/gitaccount/saltpillar.git
- env: base
Your top.sls must reference your actual branch name or you can add the env option to specify a different name.
