datadog-ci adds global --log-format json option
Introduced 2026-06-29 · score 0.92
HOW TO USE IT
When using datadog-ci v5.20.0 and a workflow needs JSON-formatted output, add the global `--log-format json` option to the command. The official v5.20.0 release note confirms the option was added, but the documentation found does not show a runnable command or specify option placement.
WHY THIS HELPS
Format datadog-ci command output as JSON when a script or coding workflow consumes its logs.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: v5.20.0
- --log-format (required): Global option; the release note adds the `json` format value. Detailed flag behavior and placement are not documented on the pages found.
- Prerequisite: Use datadog-ci v5.20.0 or later for this added option.
