mongocli atlas clusters watch
mongocli atlas commands are now deprecated because there's a new, dedicated CLI available for Atlas users. Migrate to the Atlas CLI to enjoy the same capabilities and the latest features. You can use mongocli atlas commands until April 30, 2023.Watch the specified cluster in your project until it becomes available.
This command checks the cluster's status periodically until it reaches an IDLE state. Once the cluster reaches the expected state, the command prints "Cluster available." If you run the command in the terminal, it blocks the terminal session until the resource state changes to IDLE. You can interrupt the command's polling at any time with CTRL-C.
To use this command, you must authenticate with a user account or an API key that has the Project Read Only role.
