IBM Cloud - Structured Ideas


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Cloud and its products. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Automation and DevOps oriented bx tools

e.g. bx logging log-download created thousands of lines of the progress

    --- SNIP ---

 64.00 KiB / 13.00 MiB    0.48% 3.11 MiB/s 00m04s
 64.00 KiB / 13.00 MiB    0.48% 2.07 MiB/s 00m04s
 64.00 KiB / 13.00 MiB    0.48% 1.52 MiB/s 00m04s
 64.00 KiB / 13.00 MiB    0.48% 1.20 MiB/s 00m04s
 64.00 KiB / 13.00 MiB    0.48% 1.01 MiB/s 00m04s

    ---- SNAP ---

 

Also the output of the bx tools are not (easily) parseble usually.

 

So it would be a great help, if these tools would provide option to

a) suppress such output like " 64.00 KiB / 13.00 MiB    0.48% 3.11 MiB/s 00m04s"

b) provide alternative output formats like json, so the responses like "Session: 91234567-8901-2345-6789-901234567890 is created" could be easily parsed

    I'm sorry. We are no longer using bx. We moved on OpenShift on Premise

    @mde@knowis.de can you please confirm that this is still an issue? In IBM Cloud CLI 1.0.0 release, we added --output json and --quiet options: https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/ibm-cloud-cli-release/releases

    Please update your CLI and see if your issue is resolved. Thanks!
