Can "terraform plan" and "terraform apply" have an option to not show the sentinel policies

[scott-doyland-burrows]

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.9.8
on linux_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/tfe v0.60.0

Use Cases

When I run a plan or apply locally against a remote execution workspace, I see the sentinel policies.

I have to scroll up a few pages to see the actual plan output.

Attempted Solutions

terraform plan -var-file=tfvars/workspaces.tfvars | sed /^-----/q

This will prevent the sentinel policies from showing - but it is a pain to type it

Proposal

terraform plan -var-file=tfvars/workspaces.tfvars -show-sentinel=false

or

export TF_SHOW_SENTINEL=false

Hi @scott-doyland-burrows,

Terraform doesn't run sentinel or know anything about its policies, so there's not really any way for it to control the output.

I'm guessing you are using the cloud backend, and executing the plan remotely? If that's the case then it probably needs to be an Cloud/TFE feature to deal with the option, since Terraform is essentially only echoing the remote process's output.

[scott-doyland-burrows]

Yes, I am using the cloud backend.

I'll try and find out where to raise terraform cloud feature requests.

@scott-doyland-burrows you can find all of that information in our bug report template!

I was hoping there was a terraform flag for this one workaround for this: terraform plan | sed '/Organization policy check/q' the policies are still gonna be checked but the output will not bloat the console
