2. Choose **Create > Cloudflare**.
3. Specify the following fields in the **Create Cloudflare Credentials** screen:
  - **Name ***(Required)*: A user-friendly label you assign to this credential set. This helps you identify it later when multiple Cloudflare integrations are configured.  
*Example*: “Cloudflare Discovery – Production”.
  - **Description ***(Optional)*: A text field where you can provide additional details about the purpose or scope of this credential.  
*Example*: “Used for pulling discovery data for production environment”.
