Calling pillar.refresh will not update running Nornir instance. Instead, after updating pillar on salt-master, to propagate updates to proxy-minion process either of these will work:
- restart Nornir proxy-minion process e.g.
systemctl restart salt-proxy@nrp1.service - run
salt nrp1 nr.nornir refreshcommand to re-initialize Nornir
where nrp1 - Nornir Proxy minion id/name.
To address individual hosts targeting, Nornir filtering capabilities utilized using additional filtering functions, reference nornir-salt module FFun function for more information. But in short have to use Fx parameters to filter hosts, for example:
# target only IOL1 and IOL2 hosts:
salt nrp1 nr.cli "show clock" FB="IOL[12]"
