[FEATURE REQUEST] How to remove Configuration {...} from the output file?

[zangcc]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
How to remove the long string of redundant information Configuration {...} in the output file? Because this is not what the user cares about, what really matters is the final result.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add an option to filter out this long string of Configuration {...}.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

In the output report, the information of Configuration {...} is too long, and I personally think it is unnecessary to print this configuration in the output report, because we have already set these configurations in the configuration file, so there is no need to print them again in the report. The report should highlight the key points of the scan results.

howdy!

saving the configuration in the output is by design. While it's true that you know the configuration for a single scan that was just run, that might not be true if you store results for historical purposes and come back to a file weeks/months later.

one way of avoiding the configuration output is to add the --json flag. The result is that the configuration entry (and all results) are a fully formed json object, one per line. For example:

when the output is JSONL (line-delimited json), you can remove the configuration with something as simple as tail -n +2 /path/to/output.jsonl
