## Configure integration to find security issues in Kubernetes configuration files
Snyk tests and monitors Kubernetes configurations stored in your source code repositories and provides information, tips, and tricks to better [secure a Kubernetes environment](https://snyk.io/learn/kubernetes-security/). This helps to catch misconfigurations before they are pushed to production, as well as provide fixes for vulnerabilities.
### Supported Git repositories and Kubernetes file formats
Snyk scans your Kubernetes configuration files in JSON and YAML format when they are imported from your integrated Git repository.
### Configure Snyk to scan Kubernetes configuration files
#### Prerequisites for scanning Kubernetes configuration files
* Administrator access for the Organization
* Git repository access and authorization\
For details, see [Git repository (SCM) integrations](https://docs.snyk.io/developer-tools/integrations/scm-integrations/organization-level-integrations).
#### Configure Snyk to scan Kubernetes configuration files
* Log in to the Snyk Web UI ([app.snyk.io](https://app.snyk.io)), and navigate to the relevant Group and Organization that you want to manage.\
Integrations are managed per Organization.
* To enable Snyk to detect Kubernetes configuration files, in the Infrastructure as Code settings, toggle the setting to enable Snyk to detect Infrastructure as code files.
* If needed, review and adjust the **Infrastructure as code** **Severity settings** on the Kubernetes tab in the example.\
Check to select the file types to scan, CloudFormation, Terraform, or both, and from the pulldown selection, choose the severity level for each Deployment.
Select Severity settings for IaC scans
The number of tests you can run per product is based on your account plan. For details, see the [plans and pricing](https://snyk.io/plans/) page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.snyk.io/scan-fix-and-prevent/scan-with-snyk/snyk-iac/scan-your-iac-source-code/scan-kubernetes-configuration-files/configure-integration-to-find-security-issues-in-kubernetes-configuration-files-current-iac.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
