# Enable open monitoring on new MSK Provisioned clusters
<a name="enable-open-monitoring-at-creation"></a>

This procedure describes how to enable open monitoring on a new MSK cluster using the AWS Management Console, the AWS CLI, or the Amazon MSK API.

**Using the AWS Management Console**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console, and open the Amazon MSK console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/msk/home?region=us-east-1\#/home/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/msk/home?region=us-east-1#/home/).

1. In the **Monitoring** section, select the check box next to **Enable open monitoring with Prometheus**.

1. Provide the required information in all the sections of the page, and review all the available options.

1. Choose **Create cluster**.

**Using the AWS CLI**
+ Invoke the [create-cluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/kafka/create-cluster.html) command and specify its `open-monitoring` option. Enable the `JmxExporter`, the `NodeExporter`, or both. If you specify `open-monitoring`, the two exporters can't be disabled at the same time.

**Using the API**
+ Invoke the [CreateCluster](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/msk/1.0/apireference/clusters.html#CreateCluster) operation and specify `OpenMonitoring`. Enable the `jmxExporter`, the `nodeExporter`, or both. If you specify `OpenMonitoring`, the two exporters can't be disabled at the same time.
