- \(optional step\) To enable central system monitoring, set up your Identity Authentication Service \(IAS\) tenant . For more information, see [Configuring Single Sign-On for your Identity Authentication Tenant](https://help.sap.com/docs/EDGE_LIFECYCLE_MANAGEMENT/9d5719aae5aa4d479083253ba79c23f9/2c4e91eb250a45819086b6c2a956f72f.html).
- Get the `kubeconfig` file of a cluster via the command-line interfaces. You need to upload this file as one step in the configuration wizard.
- To check that the required prerequisites for adding an Edge Node are configured properly, see [Prerequisite Validation Procedures](https://help.sap.com/docs/EDGE_LIFECYCLE_MANAGEMENT/9d5719aae5aa4d479083253ba79c23f9/b71d5ab83a454ff9a5ed95c1ee8408e2.html).
## Procedure
