!!! warning
Enabling orphaned resource monitoring has performance implications. If an AppProject monitors a namespace containing many resources not managed by Argo CD (e.g. `kube-system`), it can significantly impact your Argo CD instance. Enable this feature only on projects with well-scoped namespaces.
To view orphaned resources in the Argo CD UI:
1. Click on **Settings** in the sidebar.
2. Click on **Projects**.
3. Select the desired project.
4. Scroll down to the **RESOURCE MONITORING** section.
5. Click **Edit** and enable the monitoring feature.
6. Check **Enable application warning conditions?** to enable warnings.

9. In the **Sync Panel**, under **APP CONDITIONS**, you will see the orphaned resources warning.
10. Click **Show Orphaned** below the **HEALTH STATUS** filters to display orphaned resources.
