Atlas CLI
The MongoDB Atlas Command Line Interface, or Atlas CLI (mongodb-atlas-cli), allows you to create, manage, and automate operations related to your MongoDB Atlas deployment. This includes tasks like provisioning clusters, creating and deleting users, and controlling network access. You can also access related products like Atlas Search. With the Atlas CLI, you can quickly interact with MongoDB services from the command line for easier testing and scripting.
To report bugs, please use our mongodbcli github issues.

Hi,
in our environment (managed by OPS Manager) we have a lot of mongodb instances in the same server, would be useful having a function/method/command to exec the shutdown/startup of all instances running in an specified server.
At the moment there is only a command to shutdown/startup at scope of cluster (ReplicaSet): https://www.mongodb.com/docs/mongocli/v1.18/command/mongocli-ops-manager-clusters-shutdown/
Thanks,

Encrypt private_api_key in a mongocli configuration file
I would like to encrypt the value of privateapikey stored in $HOME/.config/mongocli/config.toml (part of mongocli config).
privateapikey should be not visible in the open text as it gives access to the MongoOPS/Atlas to anyone who can access the file.

add option to return output as a text instead of array
when you call cli with -o json-path option you always recieve output as an array in brackets. it would be useful to add a key to return output as plain text, so it can used in scripts without further processing (the same way as aws cli does) :
current state :
export org_id=$(atlas organizations list -o json-path='$.results[?(@.name =="MyOrg")].id' )
echo $org_id
[5ccefa1079358eebfef9456e]
suggested output
echo $org_id 5ccefa1079358eebfef9456e2 votes -
list all Atlas Search indexes for a cluster
The list Atlas Search indexes command,
https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/cli/stable/command/atlas-clusters-search-indexes-list/ought to not require the collections and db parameters. It should list indexes for all for the cluster and for a database.

add a command to list and check the invoices
It would be great if there will be the possibility to get information about invoices with atlas-cli like via API.
2 votesThank you for taking the time to raise the feedback.
We will look into when this can be implemented.
In meantime, could you share a bit of context on how would you like to use it in the Atlas CLI?
Thanks,

Add option for generating curl command
Currently when we are getting a 500 error back it is difficult to debug what is going wrong and we need to replicate the rest api call via curl.
Would be nice to have an option in order to generate the curl command that replicates the mongocli call in order to easily test the command.This is valid for Atlas/OM/CM

atlas clusters sampleData reload
Hi Jakob/Guss/Colm,
Any chance of adding a new command to sampleData - specifically:
atlas clusters sampleData reload <cluster>The command would literally check if the cluster has the sampleData loaded but it would also check the counts and the hashes so that if there wasn't an exact match so the data in some or all of the collections had been changed, then the existing sample data would be dropped and reloaded?
Thanks!

atlas clusters sampleData loaded command
Hi Jakob/Guss/Colm,
Any chance of adding a new command to sampleData - specifically:
atlas clusters sampleData loaded <cluster>The command would literally check if the cluster has the sampleData present?
I'd find that helpful in some of the lab scripts I'm writing as I'd avoid an unnecessary call to load the sampleData if it was already present. It throws a nasty looking red warning for learners when I do it by default to ensure the data is there.Thanks!

JSON
An export function to export the configuration of an existing Cluster to a JSON config file, of the kind used by Atlas CLI to create clusters.
I can imagine this as a flag for a detailed output of "atlas cluster describe "

Add Multi-Factor Authentication settings to be managed via Atlas CLI
At the moment, there is currently no method to manage or view Multi-Factor Authentication settings via the Atlas CLI.
The alerts set in this moment to control MFA seem to be quite poor and it is not possible to get specific information about users.1 vote -
alerts list should allow filtering by date and sort inversely by date
The 'alert list' list all alerts since the beginning of time. We can list open alerts, but we can't practically list alerts that were generated recently without going through all alerts ever produced for a project. I'd like to see what alerts were produced and are open or produce recently but closed.
Additionally, what is a "tracking" alert?

Option To Return Errors As JSON
Hi,
When using the
--output jsonI would expect the errors to be returned as JSON just like the success output. However, the output for errors seems to continue to be a flat string.It would be helpful from a scripting perspective to have the output as JSON when requested so we can include better logic in our scripts when errors occur. For example:
{ "code": "409", "message": "The cluster name already exists" }Please let me know if you need more information about the request.
Thanks,

Allow for specifying config file path.
Currently, the config for Atlas CLI lives in a specific directory defined by the tool: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/atlas/cli/stable/atlas-cli-save-connection-settings/#std-label-config-toml-location
While the config can be both set by CLI and edited with
atlas config editcommand, both of those options are specific to the tool. As someone who uses multiple CLI tools, I prefer to have all my configs organized the way it works for me and not have to remember idiosyncratic configuration for one of the tools I'm using.1 voteThank you for filing another idea! We appreciate your feedback and contribution.
We’ll investigate internally what would it take to deliver the right experience to users to allow setting the path to the configuration file.
In meantime, could you please share what would be the best way to configure the path to config file within the Atlas CLI from your perspective?
Keep the ideas coming!

Ability to download/point to latest tool versions
This is especially important for a headless environment. And can be applied to more than just the Atlas CLI and the MongoDb Shell
This documentation tells you to manually construct the string: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/database-tools/installation/installation-linux/#installation
It would be ideal to programmatically access the latest version, instead of having to manually build a download string and use that to access a static version.
Other languages and tools have solved this problem. Could MongoDb do this, too?
It looks like someone tried to do this for Windows: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/mongodb-shell#versionhistory
But that doesn't look like an officially supported solution, It would be amazing if this existed,…
1 voteThank you for taking the time to file this request. Your feedback helps us make the Atlas CLI a better place for you and other users. At the same time I’d like to apologise for the late reply.
Programmatic usage of the Atlas CLI is an area we plan to improve and further simplify. We can see how having an ability to download always the latest version of the Atlas CLI can simplify some of the automated actions.
As a next step we’ll look into some more details how this could be achieved.
We’ll update this idea as soon as we have more details.
In the meantime, could you share more details on what do you use this automation for?
Keep the ideas coming!

The "mongocli atlas clusters list" command ought to return hosts in an array
The 'mongocli atlas metrics databases list' command expects a hostname argument. Currently, one has to parse out the hosts from the URI returned from the cluster list command. It would be easier if the cluster list command returned the hosts in a command along with the replica set status, so that one could easier script the descent from the cluster into cluster details and info.
