Description Phil Sutter 2019-03-15 17:41:58 UTC

Enabling JSON output in nft monitor should be possible via '-j' flag or at least 'nft monitor json', not 'nft monitor vm json' as it is now in RHEL8.

Upstream, there is 'nft monitor json'. Ideally '-j' should be respected and 'json' parameter be deprecated.

    monitor: Accept -j flag
    
    Make 'nft -j monitor' equal to 'nft monitor json' and change
    documentation to use only the first variant since that is more intuitive
    and also consistent with other commands.
    
    While being at it, drop references to XML from monitor section - it was
    never supported.

Implicitly resolved by rebase.

Comment 4 Phil Sutter 2019-10-30 19:17:53 UTC

Tomas,

Can we cover for this in RHEL-8.2.0? For testing, it should suffice to make sure that 'nft -j monitor' will print JSON output.

Cheers, Phil
