JSON Reports

DNSControl has build in functionality to generate a machine-parseable report after pushing changes. This report is JSON formated and contains the zonename, the provider or registrar name and the amount of performed changes.

Usage

To enable the report option you must use the push operation in combination with the --report <filename> option. This generates the json file.
