# Heapster
[Heapster](https://kubernetes.io/docs/user-guide/monitoring/) collects data from apiservers and kubelets and exposes it through a REST API. This API powers the `kubectl top` command.
## Create
```sh
kubectl apply -f addons/heapster -R
```
## Usage
Allow heapster to run for a few minutes, then check CPU and memory usage.
kubectl top node
kubectl top pod
