[idea] structured logs/report

[so0k]

Rather than rely on string parsing such as this tool oijkn/aws-nuke-exporter, aws-nuke could have an option to output structured logs (--output or --json flag).

[so0k]

assuming it wouldn't be too hard to add it into here: https://github.com/ekristen/aws-nuke/blob/main/pkg/commands/global/global.go

let me know if you'd like me to give it a shot and open a PR for this

@so0k this was on my backlog of things I wanted to do. The changes would have to start in libnuke, but wouldn't be super hard. JSON is a given format, but what are you wanting the output to have? Do you have an example?

I'm always down for contributors, but this will require to PRs on two repos to make happen, please check out the contributing docs. I'm following semantic commits, require all commits to be signed. The goal here is to setup some good guidance to allow others to contribute and get things merged quick and reliably instead of them getting stale.

With that in mind, I like this idea, I can probably get it done by the weekend.

Sounds good @ekristen - I definitely won't have time soon to work on this

This is a little more difficult to implement. Requires several changes, but I like it and I've been working on it.

This would be awesome to have as well. Was seeing if an option was available then saw this! +1 from me
