## Getting Started

When you first log into Kubex, you'll be presented with a getting started page that walks you through the process of connecting your Kubernetes clusters to Kubex.

## Data Collection Status & Adding More Clusters

After deploying Kubex data collection, data will begin flowing within an hour. You can monitor the status of each cluster connection through the data collection status page, which is also accessible from the side panel. Kubex performs data analysis overnight, so data flowing in today will show analyzed results the following morning.
