Salt Exporter: the story behind the tool
In the new style, when the tag is longer than 20 characters, an end of tag string is appended to the tag given by the string constant TAGEND, that is, two line feeds '\n\n'. When the tag is less than 20 characters then the tag is padded with pipes "|" out to 20 characters as before. When the tag is exactly 20 characters no padded is done. source: https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/salt/utils/event.py

Probably asked before, but any opinions on Ansible against Salt
One thing that really irks me about Salt, though, is that they are very slow to fix bugs. My Salt states are littered with workarounds for bugs that have been open for multiple years. Even in basic things, like ssh authorized_keys management. Other than bug velocity, though, I've been pretty pleased with Salt.

What differentiates this from things like n8n, node red, and stackstorm? (which sort of occupy a zapier replacement, IoT automation, and infra automation niche, respectively)

What Open Source Projects Do You Use In Your District?
StackStorm -- "IFTTT For Ops" I am investigating the different integrations to see if it can help automate some things.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing SaltStack and StackStorm you can also consider the following projects:
Rundeck - Enable Self-Service Operations: Give specific users access to your existing tools, services, and scripts
n8n - Fair-code workflow automation platform with native AI capabilities. Combine visual building with custom code, self-host or cloud, 400+ integrations.
Ansible - Ansible is a radically simple IT automation platform that makes your applications and systems easier to deploy and maintain. Automate everything from code deployment to network configuration to cloud management, in a language that approaches plain English, using SSH, with no agents to install on remote systems. https://docs.ansible.com.
