Issue / Question

Environment

Microsoft Azure

Resolution

Configure the Azure CLI to set Defaults and More

#az configure

Your settings can be found at /home/username/.azure/config
Your current configuration is as follows:

[cloud]
name = AzureCloud

[core]
first_run = yes
output = table <-- We are going to change this.
collect_telemetry = yes

[logging]
enable_log_file = no

Do you wish to change your settings? (y/N):

If you press Y, then you will get an option to change the default output as shown below:

What default output format would you like?
[1] json - JSON formatted output that most closely matches API responses
[2] jsonc - Colored JSON formatted output that most closely matches API responses
[3] table - Human-readable output format
[4] tsv - Tab and Newline delimited, great for GREP, AWK, etc.

Once you select the default output format, you will be asked about logging.

Would you like to enable logging to file? (Y/n)

After, you will be asked about sending data to Microsoft.

Microsoft would like to collect anonymous Azure CLI usage data to improve our CLI. Participation is voluntary and when you choose to participate, your device automatically sends information to Microsoft about how you use Azure CLI. To update your choice, run "az configure" again.
Select y to enable data collection. (Y/n):
