Output Formatting
=================
By default, awx prints valid JSON for successful commands. The ``-f`` (or
``--conf.format``) global flag can be used to specify alternative output
formats.
YAML Formatting
---------------
To print results in YAML, specify ``-f yaml``:
.. code:: bash
awx jobs list -f yaml
Human-Readable (Tabular) Formatting
-----------------------------------
|prog| also provides support for printing results in a human-readable
ASCII table format:
.. code:: bash
awx jobs list -f human
awx jobs list -f human --filter name,created,status
awx jobs list -f human --filter *
Custom Formatting with jq
-------------------------
|prog| provides *optional* support for filtering results using the ``jq`` JSON
processor, but it requires an additional Python software dependency,
``jq``.
To use ``-f jq``, you must install the optional dependency via ``pip
install jq``. Note that some platforms may require additional programs to
build ``jq`` from source (like ``libtool``). See https://pypi.org/project/jq/ for instructions.
.. code:: bash
awx jobs list \
-f jq --filter '.results[] | .name + " is " + .status'
For details on ``jq`` filtering usage, see the ``jq`` manual at https://stedolan.github.io/jq/
Colorized Output
----------------
By default, |prog| prints colorized output using ANSI color codes. To disable
this functionality, specify ``--conf.color f`` or set the environment variable
``TOWER_COLOR=f``.
