## pw cluster view

View a cluster's status, nodes and provisioning steps

### Synopsis

The **pw cluster view** command shows a cluster's status, its nodes, the
partitions from its definition, and the provisioning steps of its latest
deployment, including the error of any step that failed.

The cluster can be given as **pw://user/cluster**, **pw://cluster** or
**cluster**, where an omitted user defaults to your username.
