## Overview

### Key benefits of Radar

Understand your cluster, don't just query it — Kubernetes is easy to query and hard to understand. Radar turns a live cluster into something you can actually make sense of: topology, events, Helm, GitOps, image internals, and audits in one real-time interface.

Start in seconds, your way — run the single binary locally with zero cluster-side install for instant per-developer visibility, or deploy it in-cluster via Helm for the whole team. No CRDs, and no account in local mode.

Debug faster — a live topology graph, resource explorer, log streaming, pod exec, and container image filesystem browsing let you jump from any problem to its YAML, events, and related resources in one click — no kubectl exec or docker.

Never lose event history — every Kubernetes event and delta is captured in a unified timeline, retained past the usual 1-hour TTL.

Ship and operate with confidence — manage Helm releases (upgrade, diff, rollback) and monitor FluxCD/ArgoCD GitOps with live sync and health status.

Catch risks before they cause outages — a 31-check cluster audit across security, reliability, and efficiency (framework-labeled to NSA/CISA and CIS) plus TLS certificate expiry monitoring, each with remediation guidance.

Built for AI agents, not just people — a native MCP server lets Claude, Cursor, and Copilot query your cluster through Radar with token-optimized, read-only-by-default data. Your AI assistant gets real cluster context, safely.

Truly open source — the full engine is Apache 2.0 with no node or cluster limits, airgapped-ready, and free forever. No feature gates, no license keys, no "call us for pricing" features.

Scale to a fleet without per-seat costs — Radar Cloud puts every cluster behind one URL with fleet aggregation, SSO, scoped RBAC, retention, and routed alerts. It exists for what a single binary can't do — not because the OSS is crippled. Priced per cluster, never per seat.

Enterprise-ready — SOC 2 Type 2 on every plan, with SCIM, SIEM export, BYOC/on-prem, and a 99.9% SLA available on higher tiers.

Hard to understand. Radar is the missing Kubernetes interface for humans and agents — an open-source tool that makes a live cluster make sense over two surfaces: a UI optimized for humans, and an MCP server optimized for AI agents.\n\nRadar runs as a single Go binary that talks to the Kubernetes API directly. Run it locally on your laptop with zero cluster-side install, or deploy it in-cluster via Helm for shared team access. There are no CRDs to apply, and in local mode no account is required. It works against any conformant cluster — GKE, EKS, AKS, minikube, kind, or k3s — is airgapped-ready, and makes no external calls. Radar watches your cluster through informers and streams live updates to the browser, so what you see is always current.\n\nTwo surfaces, one engine:\n\nFOR HUMANS — a fast, real-time UI:\n• Topology — a live resource graph, auto-laid-out, with a network-traffic mode.\n• Resource explorer — full CRD auto-discovery, status/problem filtering (CrashLoopBackOff, ImagePullBackOff), one-click YAML, logs, events, and related resources.\n• Event timeline — every Kubernetes event and delta in one real-time feed, retained past the 1-hour TTL.\n• Log streaming &amp; pod exec — tail logs and open a shell from the UI.\n• Image filesystem viewer — browse any container image's filesystem, no kubectl exec or docker needed.\n• Helm — inspect values, compare revisions, upgrade, roll back, or uninstall.\n• GitOps — first-class FluxCD and ArgoCD support with sync status, health, and reconciliation controls.\n• Cluster audit — 31 best-practice checks across security, reliability, and efficiency, framework-labeled (NSA/CISA, CIS), each with remediation guidance.\n• TLS certificate &amp; cost insights — catch expiring certs before outages; see cluster and workload spend via OpenCost.\n\nFOR AI AGENTS — a built-in MCP server:\n• Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and other assistants query your cluster through Radar over the Model Context Protocol.\n• Data is pre-processed and token-optimized instead of raw YAML, and read tools are strictly read-only by default — AI gets useful cluster context, safely.\n\nRadar is and always will be open source. The engine is Apache 2.0, self-hostable with no node or cluster limits, and free forever — no feature gates, no license keys, no \"call us for pricing\" features. Run it locally per-developer, or deploy in-cluster via Helm for shared access with OIDC/proxy auth and per-user Kubernetes RBAC.\n\nRadar Cloud is the hosted, team-scale layer on the same engine — for the things a single binary can't reasonably do, not because the OSS is crippled. The same binary runs as a lightweight agent in your clusters and dials out to the control plane, bringing every cluster behind one URL. Cloud adds fleet aggregation (audit failures, package drift, cross-cluster resource search, expiring certs), centralized SSO (Google, GitHub, SAML/OIDC), organizations and scoped RBAC roles, persistent audit-log retention with SIEM export, saved investigations and shareable incident snapshots, and routed alerts via Slack, PagerDuty, MS Teams, and webhooks. Cloud is priced per cluster, never per seat — a free tier for 3 clusters, Team at $99/cluster/month, and Enterprise with SCIM, BYOC/on-prem, and a 99.9% SLA. SOC 2 Type 2 applies to every plan.\n\nInstall in about 30 seconds.\nOpen source on GitHub (search for Radar K8s)","image":"https://gdm-catalog-fmapi-prod.imgix.net/ProductScreenshot/d863b470-2af6-421a-a41c-bffca14f22c8.png","url":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2100499/radar-2","@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2100499/radar-2#software","@type":"SoftwareApplication","applicationCategory":"BusinessApplication","publisher":{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/#organization"},"offers":{"price":"0","@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD"},"operatingSystem":"Cloud, Apple, Windows, Linux, Windows on premise, Linux on premise, Chrome"},{"@id":"https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/2100499/radar-2#breadcrumblist","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"name":"Home","position":1,"item":"/","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Observability Software","position":2,"item":"/directory/3859/observability/software","@type":"ListItem"},{"name":"Radar","position":3,"item":"/software/2100499/radar-2","@type":"ListItem"}]}]}
