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 "

    Thanks for raising this suggestion. As per the comment earlier, this is already available with "--output json"  flag. If you'd like to export it to a file, feel free to add "> filename.json" at the end of command. I hope this helps. Thanks, Jakub

    Hi, you can already do this by using custom outputs, see `atlas clusters describe --help` ``` Return the details for the specified cluster for your project. Usage: atlas clusters describe [flags] Aliases: describe, get Examples: # Return the JSON-formatted details for the cluster named myCluster: atlas clusters describe myCluster --output json Flags: -h, --help help for describe -o, --output string Output format. Valid values are json, json-path, go-template, or go-template-file. --projectId string Hexadecimal string that identifies the project to use. This option overrides the settings in the configuration file or environment variable. ``` in particular you could do ``` atlas clusters describe myCluster --output json > myCluster.json ``` and get the json file for myCluster
