# CloudNatix
Supported OS Integration version1.0.1  CloudNatix Datadog dashboard that provides insights on cluster spending, usage, and cost optimization.Visualize the amount of estimated possible savings per workload
## Overview{% #overview %}

This check provides data from [CloudNatix](https://cloudnatix.com/).

CloudNatix connects to multiple VM-based and Kubernetes clusters, enabling automated capacity, cost, and operation optimization with patent-pending Autopilot technology. CloudNatix Insights gives DevOps teams proactive visibility into potential capacity and availability issues.

The CloudNatix integration provides cost and operational optimization insights to Datadog with an out-of-the-box dashboard, allowing you to quickly view cluster cost and analyze opportunities to reduce cost.

## Setup{% #setup %}

### Installation{% #installation %}

To install the CloudNatix check on your cluster:

1. Build a Docker image of the Datadog Agent that has the CloudNatix integration check installed. For more information, see [Use Community Integrations](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/guide/use-community-integrations.md?tab=docker).
1. [Install the Datadog Agent](https://app.datadoghq.com/account/settings#agent/kubernetes) into your Kubernetes cluster with the built Docker image.
1. [Install CloudNatix](https://docs.cloudnatix.com/docs/tutorial) into your Kubernetes cluster. The CloudNatix Cluster Agent will automatically configure itself to work with the Datadog integration.

### Validation{% #validation %}

[Run the Agent's status subcommand](https://docs.datadoghq.com/agent/guide/agent-commands.md#agent-status-and-information) and look for `cloudnatix` under the Checks section.
