Monitoring the Red Hat OpenShift cluster provisioning by using the IBM Cloud CLI

You can monitor the Red Hat® OpenShift® cluster provisioning running a command using IBM Cloud CLI.

Procedure

If not done yet, login in your IBM Cloud Account using your IBM Cloud API key.
```
ibmcloud login --apikey $your_ibmcloud_api_key -q --no-region
```
Where $your_ibmcloud_api_key is the API key that you have created in Creating your IBM Cloud API key.

Run the following command to monitor the progress of the provisioning of the OpenShift cluster:


ibmcloud oc cluster get --cluster $cluster_name --output json

Where $cluster_name is the name of your cluster. For example: mycluster

Sample output
