Rohit Yadav closed CLOUDSTACK-4213.
-----------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

This would be difficult to do for all 400+ apis, you should switch to using json output mode where we pretty print the output and you can use grep etc. as all sections have suitable indentation .

> Please improve the output from cloudmonkey to make it easier to parse in a bash script.
> If you for example list virtual machines with 
> >cloudmonkey list virtualmachines
> you get two lines that begins with "id = " 
> One Virtualmachineid and one nicid but from diffrent sections
> This is hard to parse wit tools like grep.
> I suggest:
> 1. Create a outputmode where nicid is separated from id by some prefix ie. (nic1.id =)
> 2. implement the filter function from the "table" output in this mode too.
> 3. Please improve on the error reporting. Only a http 431 error don’t say so mutch.
