# Monitor Confluent Platform Resources in Confluent Cloud Unified Stream Manager (USM) displays health and performance metrics for your registered on-premises Confluent Platform deployments in the Confluent Cloud Console. The USM Agent collects telemetry data from your Confluent Platform environment and visualizes it in Confluent Cloud, so you can monitor your self-managed clusters alongside your cloud-native clusters. ## Before you begin [Register your Confluent Platform cluster with Confluent Cloud](../register/overview.md#cloud-usm-register). ## Monitored resources From the Confluent Cloud Console, you can navigate to your Confluent Platform cluster to monitor the following key resources: * [Clusters](clusters.md#platform-clusters): View a high-level summary of your cluster’s throughput and storage. You can also view detailed, real-time metrics for each broker to diagnose hotspots or potential failures. * [Topics](topics.md#platform-topics): View a list of all topics in your cluster. You can select an individual topic to monitor its production and consumption rates, inspect its schema, and review its configuration settings. * [Consumer Lag](consumer-lag.md#platform-consumer-lag): Monitor the consumer lag of your Confluent Platform consumer groups to identify and troubleshoot slow consumers. * [Connectors](connectors.md#platform-connectors): View the status, throughput, and task information for your on-premises Connect connectors. * [Clients](clients.md#platform-clients): Monitor producer and consumer client metrics for your Confluent Platform clusters. Client monitoring uses the [KIP-714](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-714%3A+Client+Metrics+and+Observability) client metrics push mechanism and requires Confluent Platform 7.9.6 or later within the 7.9.x series, or 8.1.2 or later. * [Kafka Streams](kafka-streams.md#platform-kafka-streams): Monitor Kafka Streams application metrics for your Confluent Platform clusters, including throughput, end-to-end latency, and the state of individual stream threads. Kafka Streams monitoring requires Confluent Platform 8.2.2 or later within the 8.2.x series, or 8.3.0 or later. * [Alerts](alerts.md#platform-alerts): Get notified of critical health and performance conditions on your Confluent Platform clusters, such as offline partitions or broker storage exhaustion. Route alerts to your Confluent Cloud Console dashboard, email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or a generic webhook. ## Navigate to your Confluent Platform cluster 1. In the Confluent Cloud Console, navigate to **Environments** and select your environment.  2. In the navigation menu, click **Clusters** and select your Confluent Platform cluster.  After you select a cluster, you can use the navigation menu to explore specific resources such as topics or connectors.  ## Related content * [Register Your Confluent Platform Cluster](../register/overview.md#cloud-usm-register) * [Monitor a Confluent Platform Cluster in Confluent Cloud](clusters.md#platform-clusters) * [Monitor Consumer Lag for Confluent Platform Clusters](consumer-lag.md#platform-consumer-lag) * [Monitor Confluent Platform Topics with USM](topics.md#platform-topics) * [Monitor Confluent Platform Connectors with USM](connectors.md#platform-connectors) * [Monitor Confluent Platform clients with Unified Stream Manager](clients.md#platform-clients) * [Monitor Confluent Platform Kafka Streams Applications with Unified Stream Manager](kafka-streams.md#platform-kafka-streams) * [Monitor Alerts for Confluent Platform Resources with USM](alerts.md#platform-alerts)
