# Configuring the Ruby Tracing Library

After you set up the tracing library with your code and configure the Agent to collect APM data, optionally configure the tracing library as desired, including setting up [Unified Service Tagging](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/tagging/unified_service_tagging/).
To verify your runtime configuration and confirm settings, view the current configuration of your service in Datadog. Navigate to the **APM Service Page**, click **Service Config**, and select the **SDK Configuration** tab.
For information about configuring the Ruby tracing library, see [Additional Ruby configuration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/trace_collection/dd_libraries/ruby/#additional-configuration).
