+# Workload Checks
+
+The `smp` tool performs a nightly run of 'checks' to determine if Vector is fit for purpose.
+The 'checks' can help us answer questions about CPU usage, memory consumption, throughput etc.
+By consistently running these checks we establish a historical baseline that we can compare against.
+
+## Adding an Experiment
+
+You can read more about the workload requirements [here](https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/SMP/pages/3183248544/Workload+Checks+-+Getting+Started).
