The following example uses the mongocli atlas alerts configs list command to retrieve the list of alerts configured in the specified project. It uses the default profile to access the Atlas project.

mongocli atlas cluster list --projectId 5e4434626e68f6755b594125
--output json

The previous command prints the following fields in the specified format to the terminal. To learn more about these fields, see Output.
