# Viewing Connected Clusters

The DataSpace page provides the following tools to view currently connected clusters and information about them:

- [A graphic topology view of the connected clusters](/docs-5-3/docs/en/viewing-connected-clusters#viewing-cluster-topology). This shows which clusters are connected to the local cluster through multi cluster management and any connections that are established between them.
- [The Cluster Cards tab](/docs-5-3/docs/en/viewing-connected-clusters#viewing-cluster-cards), showing information about each connected cluster on a card.
- [The Clusters Table tab](/docs-5-3/docs/en/viewing-connected-clusters#viewing-the-clusters-table), which shows details about the connected clusters in a tabular format.

## Viewing Cluster Topology

The topology shows:

1. Any connected clusters.
2. Any connections established between connected clusters.

You can:

- Click or hover on a cluster (1) to highlight up the cluster's card in the Cluster Cards tab.
- Click a replication connection to identify its record in the Paths tab.
- Click a Global Access connection to view it's configuration.
- Click ![HowToRead.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/89b91113-5dc6-49db-86ec-57b16dc8ce56/Images/Documentation/img-92401f0082de477ac881e23310845311(5).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T09%3A29%3A11Z&se=2026-11-08T10%3A29%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=1%2BNnkcULo57WCfn69a1LAcL07cG11drEdpaRyHrDokQ%3D) (3) for a complete guide to the graphic representation of the topology, including cluster types ([VoC](/docs-5-3/docs/vast-on-cloud-overview) or on-premises), capacity, bandwidth and IOPS in the topology.VAST on Cloud

## Viewing Cluster Cards

On the Cluster Cards tab, each cluster's card provides shows the alarm status of the cluster, the following details are shown per cluster:

![cluster_card.png](https://cdn.us.document360.io/89b91113-5dc6-49db-86ec-57b16dc8ce56/Images/Documentation/img-f2bc93eacfbcaa3c4f2257f8eb5719cc(5).png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-08T09%3A29%3A11Z&se=2026-11-08T10%3A29%3A11Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=1%2BNnkcULo57WCfn69a1LAcL07cG11drEdpaRyHrDokQ%3D)

1. Cluster details:

  - Data Usage. Shows how much physical data storage capacity there is on the cluster and how much of it is in use.
  - BW. The data transmission rate on the connection between the cluster and its client network.
  - IOPS. The number of I/O operations per second on the connection between the cluster and its client network.
  - Latency. The time needed to perform an I/O operation on the connection between the cluster and its client network.
2. Open Cluster button. Opens the Cluster's VMS in another browser tab.
3. Alarm status
4. Buttons for [removing the cluster](/docs-5-3/docs/en/removing-a-connected-cluster) from DataSpace and [updating user credentials](/docs-5-3/docs/en/updating-user-credentials-for-a-connected-cluster).

## Viewing the Clusters Table

On the Clusters Table tab you can display the following columns:

| Name | The name of the cluster. |
| --- | --- |
| Logical Space | The amount of logical capacity on the cluster. |
| Logical Space Used | The amount of logical capacity in use on the cluster. |
| Region | If the cluster is a VAST on Cloud cluster, this column displays the AWS region where the cluster resides. |
| State | The state of the cluster: - INIT. Initializing the cluster. - ACTIVATING. The cluster is being activated. - ONLINE. The cluster is online. - DEACTIVATING. The cluster is being deactivated. - OFFLINE. The cluster is offline. - FAILED. The cluster has failed. - UNKNOWN. DataSpace is unable to detect the cluster state. |

You can use the right-click menu to export any row or selected rows to a CSV file.
