Overview
The SDK Configurations view shows the active configurations of SDKs per service. Configurations are automatically reported from the SDKs. Use the view to:
- Troubleshoot instrumentation issues, including where configurations are inconsistent across instances of a service.
- Validate that a configuration change was deployed correctly across intended instances.
- Identify the source of a configuration value to help fix misconfigurations.
- Discover available configuration options and how they are set.
Access SDK configurations
To view SDK configurations for a service:
- Navigate to APM > Services.
- Open the Service Page for your service.
- Go to Service Config > SDK & Agent Configurations tab.
The SDK Configurations section displays configurations for active instances of the service.

The configuration source shows where a given value is configured:
| Source | Description |

| Remote Fleet Automation | Applied remotely at the host level through Fleet Automation |
| Local environment variable | Set through an environment variable (or system property) in the runtime environment |
