Complete WEKA keyboard shortcuts and commands reference — 14 shortcuts across 3 categories. Quick reference cheat sheet for Windows & Mac.
WEKA is a parallel filesystem for GPU clusters, and the weka CLI on any cluster node is how its state is read and changed. The commands below are the ones an operator runs daily — status, filesystems, alerts, mounts — plus the diagnostics bundle support asks for. Most subcommands accept --json for scripts and -h for their own option list.
| Shortcut | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| weka status | Cluster status | Show the overall status and health of the WEKA cluster. |
| weka fs | List filesystems | List all filesystems defined in this WEKA cluster. |
| weka cluster | Cluster management | Show cluster-level info and manage cluster membership. |
| weka alerts | List alerts | List active alerts in the WEKA cluster. |
| weka events | List events | List all events matching the filter criteria. |
| Shortcut | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| weka fs create name group size | Create filesystem | Create a new WekaFS filesystem in the given filesystem group. |
| mount -t wekafs backend/fs /mnt/weka | Mount filesystem | Mount a WekaFS filesystem on a client using the wekafs driver. |
| umount /mnt/weka | Unmount filesystem | Unmount a mounted WekaFS filesystem. |
| weka fs snapshot create fs snap | Create snapshot | Create a point-in-time snapshot of a filesystem. |
| weka nfs interface-group | Manage NFS | List and manage NFS interface groups and client permissions. |
| Shortcut | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| weka stats | List statistics | List all statistics that conform to the filter criteria. |
| weka user | List users | List users defined in the WEKA cluster. |
| weka diags | Diagnostics | Run diagnostics to help understand the status of the cluster and its environment. |
| weka local status | Local container status | Show status of the WEKA containers running on the local machine. |
The most essential WEKA shortcuts are: weka status (Cluster status), weka fs (List filesystems), weka cluster (Cluster management).
These are command-line commands — type them in your terminal or console. Combine them with shell history search (Ctrl + R) and aliases to work even faster.
The WEKA shortcut for cluster status is weka status. Show the overall status and health of the WEKA cluster.

weka status is the first command on any node: cluster name, health, capacity, and the number of active and failed processes. weka alerts lists current alerts with severities and is what a monitoring check should poll; weka events is the historical log, filterable by time and type, and explains what happened before an alert fired. weka cluster holds the management subcommands for hosts, drives and containers, and weka local status reports the containers on the node you are standing on, which separates "the cluster is fine" from "this host has fallen out".
weka fs lists filesystems with used and total capacity, and weka fs create name group size makes one inside a filesystem group with a fixed capacity; thin provisioning is a flag on the same command. Clients mount with mount -t wekafs backend/fs /mnt/weka, naming any backend host and the filesystem; the client then learns the rest of the cluster. umount /mnt/weka unmounts. weka fs snapshot create fs snap takes an instantaneous snapshot, which is the basis for snap-to-object backups. weka nfs interface-group configures the NFS service for clients that cannot run the native driver.
weka stats returns performance statistics per node or cluster-wide — throughput, IOPS, latency — over a chosen window, and is the command behind most Grafana dashboards. weka user lists local users and roles for the CLI and GUI. weka diags collects logs and configuration into a bundle that WEKA support asks for on every ticket; run it before opening one.
