# Extensions ### What are Extensions? Extensions are components in a Configuration that add capabilities to the Agent. They use OpenTelemetry extensions under the hood. A common use case for extensions could be to configure\ a local server to return the Agent's healthy status. ### Managing Extensions Extensions are configured on a per Configuration basis. To view, edit, or modify extensions for a Configuration, select the Advanced Configuration icon on the bottom right-hand side of the Topology Graph on any Configuration detail page. From the opened menu select "Manage Extensions" and the Extension Editor will be brought up.
