# HQ

To be able to view and drill into your Kafka environment, you need to connect the agent to HQ. You need to create an environment in HQ and copy the Agent Key into the **provisioning.yaml.**

{% hint style="success" %}
Only one HQ connection is allowed.

See [JSON schema](/latest/deployment/configuration/agent/overview.md#json-schema-support) for support.

Environment variables are supported; escape the dollar sign

```yaml
sslKeystorePassword:
  value: "\${ENV_VAR_NAME}"
```

{% endhint %}
