# Datadog Agent Requirements

Evaluate these requirements before installing the Datadog agent with Kloudfuse.

|     |     |
| --- | --- |
|  | When using an _existing_ dd-agent version (and just pointing it to Kloudfuse instead of DD HQ),<br>dd agent version must be 7.41 or higher. |

Validate the agent using these steps:

1. Check the chart version with `helm list` - should be 3.1.10 or higher

```console
    helm list -n <namespace-where-agent-is-installed>
    ```

2. Check the image version of the agent with describe pod on dd-agent pod.

```console
    kubectl describe pod -n <namespace-where-agent-is-installed> | grep Image
           Image:         gcr.io/datadoghq/agent:7.36.0
    ```
