Output Formats

redisctl supports multiple output formats for different use cases.

Available Formats

JSON (Default)

redisctl cloud database list
redisctl enterprise cluster get

Output:

{
  "name": "my-cluster",
  "nodes": 3,
  "version": "7.2.4"
}

Table

Human-readable tabular format:

redisctl cloud database list -o table
redisctl enterprise database list --output table

Output:

ID    NAME       MEMORY    STATUS
1     cache      1GB       active
2     sessions   512MB     active

YAML

redisctl enterprise cluster get -o yaml

Output:

name: my-cluster
nodes: 3
version: 7.2.4

Combining with JMESPath

Filter and format in one command:

# JSON with filtered fields
redisctl enterprise database list -q "[].{name:name,memory:memory_size}"

# Table with specific columns
redisctl cloud subscription list -o table -q "[].{id:id,name:name,status:status}"

Use Cases

Using JMESPath Queries

Use the built-in -q/--query flag for filtering and transforming output without external tools:

# Get first database name
redisctl cloud database list -q '[0].name'

# Count items
redisctl enterprise database list -q 'length(@)'

# Get specific fields from all items
redisctl cloud subscription list -q '[].{id: id, name: name}'

# Filter by condition
redisctl enterprise database list -q "[?status=='active'].name"

# Get raw values for shell scripts (no JSON quotes)
redisctl cloud database list -q '[0].name' --raw

Note: JMESPath is built into redisctl, so you don't need external tools like jq for most operations.
