Hello, How can assign custom metadata to a host? (custom key/value pairs for example) I know I can define a pillar manually in Salt master /srv/pillar. However it would be great to just be able to assign custom values/pillars to a host in the GUI such that I can pick those up in my states. I know I can include this myself in the GUI by using forms. But that's not what I mean because I would have to "ask the same question" in every form where this information is required. Instead, I just want these custom attributes derived from the host, plain and simple. Any idea? Thanks.

Are you suggesting to use some generic form(ula) like "Server Type", and assign it to every server? Cristian Gherman wrote:
