+## Check the status of Harvester components
+
+Before checking the status of Harvester components, obtain a copy of the Harvester cluster's kubeconfig file following the [guide](../faq.md#how-can-i-access-the-kubeconfig-file-of-the-harvester-cluster).
+
+After you obtain a copy of the kubeconfig file, run the following script against the cluster to check the readiness of each component.
