```bash theme={null}
odigos ui
```
Click on `Add Destination`, select `VictoriaMetrics Cloud` and follow the on-screen instructions
##### **Using Kubernetes manifests**
Save the YAML below to a file (e.g. `victoriametricscloud.yaml`)
```yaml theme={null}
apiVersion: odigos.io/v1alpha1
kind: Destination
metadata:
name: victoriametricscloud-example
namespace: odigos-system
spec:
data:
VICTORIA_METRICS_CLOUD_ENDPOINT:
destinationName: victoriametricscloud
secretRef:
name: victoriametricscloud-secret
signals:
- METRICS

---
apiVersion: v1
data:
VICTORIA_METRICS_CLOUD_TOKEN:
