# Verify and monitor the Collector

> Verify that the Chronosphere Collector is scraping metrics and receiving traces, and monitor Collector health in your clusters.

To ensure the Collector is ingesting data, you can verify the Collector is
[scraping the intended metrics](/ingest/metrics-traces/collector/monitor/verify-metrics) or
[receiving trace data](/ingest/metrics-traces/collector/monitor/verify-traces) from your app.

You can also [monitor the Collector](/ingest/metrics-traces/collector/monitor/monitor-collector)
to ensure that Palo Alto Networks Cortex XCOR receives telemetry data from your instances. If the
Collector can't start or scrape metrics, you can
[troubleshoot metrics ingestion](/ingest/metrics-traces/collector/monitor/monitor-collector#troubleshoot-metric-ingestion).
