# Agent Check: Datadog Cluster Agent

## Overview

This check monitors the [Datadog Cluster Agent][1] through the Datadog Agent.

**Minimum Agent version:** 7.30.2

## Setup

Follow the instructions below to install and configure this check for an Agent running on a host. For containerized environments, see the [Autodiscovery Integration Templates][2] for guidance on applying these instructions.

### Installation

The Datadog Cluster Agent check is included in the [Datadog Agent][2] package.
No additional installation is needed on your server.

### Configuration
The Datadog Cluster Agent check uses [Autodiscovery][3] to automatically configure itself in most scenarios. The check runs in the Datadog Agent pod on the same node as the Cluster Agent pod. It will not run in the Cluster Agent itself.

If you need to further configure the check:

1. Edit the `datadog_cluster_agent.d/conf.yaml` file, in the `conf.d/` folder at the root of your Agent's configuration directory to start collecting your datadog_cluster_agent performance data. See the [sample datadog_cluster_agent.d/conf.yaml][4] for all available configuration options.

2. [Restart the Agent][5].

### Validation

[Run the Agent's status subcommand][6] and look for `datadog_cluster_agent` under the Checks section.
