auth0 logs tail should have an option to emit JSON #1272

Checklist

Describe the problem you'd like to have solved

At presentauth0 logs tail is not very useful as it omits most details. Whilst the general approach to slicing and dicing Auth0 logs is to use a proper logs streaming service, it would be quite convenient to be able to "deep dive" directly via the auth0 client.

Describe the ideal solution

Being able to do something like the following would be far more useful than present:

auth0 logs tail --filter "type:f" --json | jq --raw-output '[.date, .ip, .description] | @tsv'

Alternatives and current workarounds

Current workaround: use the web dashboard.

    To preview in json, we already support the -p flag on logs ls. However, I’ll check with the team regarding the feasibility of adding similar support for the tail command. Thanks for the suggestion!

    All said, we’ll definitely give this more thought for a future major release and see if we can make the experience more robust. Instead of closing this issue, we are going to park this in under Discussions and hear more from the community.
