# Configure dataset for Kubernetes Monitoring

Configure how the knowledge graph processes Kubernetes metrics. This configuration determines which Kubernetes clusters and regions to monitor and how to filter the data.

For background on dataset configurations, environment labels, and cloud region labels, refer to [Manage dataset configurations](../).

Complete the following steps to edit a dataset configuration for Kubernetes:

1. Sign into Grafana Cloud and click **Observability > Configuration**.
2. Click **Connect knowledge graph**.
3. Next to Kubernetes Monitoring, click **Edit**.
4. Complete the following fields:
   
   Expand table
   
   | Field              | Description                                                                                                                                                   |
   |--------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
   | Environment label  | Select the source environment you want to monitor with the knowledge graph.                                                                                   |
   | Environments       | Deselect the environments you want to exclude from the knowledge graph.                                                                                       |
   | Cloud region label | Optional. If you have selected a different environment label, choose `cluster` as the cloud region label. You can select a different site label, as required. |
   | Cloud regions      | Deselect the regions you want to exclude from the knowledge graph.                                                                                            |
5. If you want to add additional filters, complete the following steps:
   
   1. Click **+ Add filter**.
   2. Populate the fields with filter values and an operator.
      
      You can add multiple filters.
6. Optionally, add more environments.
7. Click **Save Kubernetes settings**.
