Cannot list diagnostic settings for default directory

[maratsal]

Describe the bug

When I try to run command below, it doesn't work and throws error.

az monitor diagnostic-settings list --resource "/providers/microsoft.aadiam" 

It is not clear if it's me doing something wrong or is it some bug in the command?
