Suppose a customer does not have connectivity to the public instance of Weka Home, such as when the Weka cluster is deployed on a dark site or VPC. In that case, Weka provides an option to deploy a Local Weka Home, a private instance of Weka Home, on a management server (or VM).
The Local Weka Home performs the following:
Receives events from the Weka cluster and stores them locally. It enables querying and filtering events.
Monitors multiple clusters within the organization.
Displays the cluster overview and enables drilling down to the cluster telemetry data.
Triggers specific alerts according to predefined rules through an integrated delivery method: Email (SMTP), SNMP, or PagerDuty.
Receives diagnostics (support files) from the Weka cluster, stores them, and makes them available for remote viewing by the Customer Success Team.
Receives usage, analytics, and performance statistics from the Weka cluster. It stores them, displays them, and enables querying and filtering them.
Each set of features and capabilities is categorized into one of the following categories:

Local Weka Home monitors and reports on multiple clusters within your organization. The first screen upon entering LWH displays all the Weka clusters in your environment that are enabled to send telemetry data to your local Weka Home instance.
You can filter and sort based on various criteria such as last seen, licensed vs. unlicensed, and clusters that are muted (silenced alerts). Clicking the cluster name redirects you to the cluster main page.
The Status page displays numerous panels highlighting various cluster-wide statistics including health status information relative to an individual cluster.
The Details page displays the Hosts (containers), Drives, Nodes (processes), Filesystems, Net Devices, SmbShares, Overrides, and the cluster configuration in a JSON format.
The Events page displays the offline event data for the cluster and associated detail with each event. You can filter the events based on severity, narrow them down to specific node IDs in the cluster, and more.
The Diagnostics page displays all the collected event logs, syslog files, trace files, container information, and more. The Customer Support Team uses this information for deeper case analysis.
