Is there a way to display only changes and errors
salt-stack
Solution
You can set `state_verbose: False` in `/etc/salt/master` or `/etc/salt/minion`. If you want to shorten the output to one line per state, set `state_output: terse`.
You can also pass these filters on command line:
salt --state-output=terse '*' state.highstate
If you only want to see changes, you can use `state-output=changes` or `state-output=mixed`. The latter one will show more information on a failure.

Problem
I have quite extensive salt config and I want to be able to see what has changed. If I just run `salt '*' state.highstate` I got the whole list with things that were present and not changed - like 3 to 4 screens of log. But I'd really like to see only things that changed in the last job. It doesn't have to work for the salt call, it can also employ `salt-run jobs.lookup_jid`.
