Validate that you have enabled [Kubernetes Observability using OpenTelemetry](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/opentelemetry/kubernetes-observability/kubernetes-observability-using-opentelemetry/.md) and are sending cluster telemetry to Coralogix.

**STEP 1**. Check that the cluster collector are running in your cluster.

Search for pods in the deployed namespace with the following:

```
kubectl get pods -o wide -n $NAMESPACE
```

**OpenTelemetry Cluster Collector** pods named `coralogix-opentelemetry-collector-xxx` and **Kube State Metrics** pods named `otel-integration-kube-state-metrics-xxx` should appear with `Running` status.

**STEP 2**. Install the **Kubernetes OpenTelemetry** [extension packages](https://docs-docusaurus.kinsta.page/user-guides/getting-started/packages-and-extensions/extension-packages/.md) in your Coralogix account by accessing **Data Flow** > **Extensions**. Use this to hit the ground running with predefined alerts, parsing rules, dashboards, saved views, and actions.

* Open the **Kubernetes OpenTelemetry** extension with the latest version.

* Select **Applications** and **Subsystems** for all related Kubernetes telemetry or select **All** for both.

* Click **+** **Deploy.**
