2. Select Core DNS > Add to environment.
3. Ensure that proper connectivity between env activegates and intended cloud platform endpoint for example http://<container-ip-address>:9153/metrics. and K8s http://<dns-service-ip-address>:9153/metrics.
4. replace the provided examples with the real info.
5. enter the configuration parameters and save.
6. wait ~ 4 - 5 minutes to start monitoring your end points and pull the metrics accordingly.
