# Configuring the Ruby SDK

After you set up the SDK with your code and configure the Agent to collect APM data, optionally configure the SDK as desired, including setting up [Unified Service Tagging](https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/tagging/unified_service_tagging.md).
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 SDK, see [Additional Ruby configuration](https://docs.datadoghq.com/tracing/trace_collection/dd_libraries/ruby.md#additional-configuration).
