# Notebook Culler Activation

This guide explains how to enable and configure the Notebook Culler directly from the Kubeflow dashboard. It is assumed that you are already logged in and have selected the appropriate namespace. To begin, navigate to the Settings menu located in the main sidebar of the dashboard.

You’ll see several options after clicking Settings, such as “Settings,” “Users,” and “Roles.” Make sure you select the “Settings” option.

Once in the settings area, you will find the “Enable Notebook Culler” option, which is turned off by default.

You can activate the feature by clicking the toggle switch, which will turn blue to indicate it is enabled. Upon activation, two configuration fields will become available. The “Idle Timeout (minutes)” field allows you to specify how long a notebook can remain inactive before it is automatically shut down, while the “Recheck Interval (minutes)” field sets how often the system checks for idle notebooks.

After you have entered your desired values, such as a 30-minute timeout and a 5-minute recheck interval, finalize the process by clicking the “Save Changes” button.

A confirmation message stating “Settings saved successfully!” will then appear, confirming your configuration is active.
