# Verifying Automation status

Visit the [Overview](https://docs.perfectscale.io/2.0-self-hosted-or-perfectscale-documentation/visibility-and-optimization/clusters-metrics-overview#automated) screen to verify the Automation status of each cluster. This section provides a dedicated column that displays the cluster's Automation status and the number of automated workloads. For more detailed information on specific workloads, navigate to [Podfit](https://docs.perfectscale.io/2.0-self-hosted-or-perfectscale-documentation/visibility-and-optimization/podfit-or-vertical-pod-right-sizing#automation-status), where you can check the Automation status of individual workload(s).

For example, if the cluster-level configuration enables automation while the namespace-level configuration disables it, the namespace-level configuration takes precedence, resulting in disabled automation for the particular workloads within the cluster.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Stopped</strong> </td><td><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/zCh9aABpk7yLeToPr6vk/blobs/KvZpbCZ9NpmcKWNsjVKu/icn_close.png" alt="" data-size="original"></td><td>PerfectScale will forcibly stop the automation. For example, to prevent your environment from recursive resource increases, such as those resulting from memory leaks. </td></tr></tbody></table>
