# Workload Metrics

To enable workload metrics in K8Studio, Prometheus must be installed on the cluster. 

Once Prometheus is installed, we need to configure K8Studio to recognize the service port and namespace that provides the Prometheus data. This is done by opening the cluster settings and selecting the "Metric Services" option.
