Return data to an etcd server or cluster

In order to return to an etcd server, a profile should be created in the master configuration file:
my_etd_config:
etcd.host: 127.0.0.1
etcd.port: 4001
It is technically possible to configure etcd without using a profile, but this is not considered to be a best practice, especially when multiple etcd servers or clusters are available.
etcd.host: 127.0.0.1
etcd.port: 4001
Additionally, two more options must be specified in the top-level configuration in order to use the etcd returner:
etcd.returner: my_etcd_config
etcd.returner_root: /salt/return
The etcd.returner option specifies which configuration profile to use. The etcd.returner_root option specifies the path inside etcd to use as the root of the returner system.
Once the etcd options are configured, the returner may be used:
CLI Example:
salt '*' test.ping --return etcd
Return a dict of the last function called for all minions
Return the information returned when the specified job id was executed
Return a list of all job ids
Return the load data that marks a specified jid
Return a list of minions
Do any work necessary to prepare a JID, including sending a custom id
Return data to an etcd server or cluster
Save the load to the specified jid
