## Overview of Redis Radar

Redis Radar is a new tool designed to unify the management of Redis deployments across various environments. As Redis environments expand across teams, applications, and infrastructure, managing them becomes increasingly complex. Organizations may use Redis Software on-premises, Redis Cloud for specific applications, or even rely on third-party managed Redis services such as Amazon ElastiCache or Google Memorystore. Keeping track of all these deployments typically involves manually navigating multiple admin consoles and recording findings by hand. Redis Radar aims to simplify this process by consolidating inventory, health, and usage data from all connected Redis deployments into a single interface.

## Deployment Options

Redis Radar is available in two deployment models: as a fully managed service and as self-managed software. In the managed service model, users can sign in at [radar.redis.io](https://radar.redis.io/?ref=stirup.si) using their Redis Cloud credentials and connect the Redis deployments they want to monitor. For secure or air-gapped environments, the self-managed version can be installed within an organization's infrastructure using Helm charts, RPM, or Docker Compose. This flexibility ensures that Redis Radar can be adapted to a wide range of operational needs and security requirements.

## Connecting Deployments

Connecting Redis deployments to Redis Radar is a straightforward process. For Redis Cloud, users can link one or more accounts using an API key, allowing their deployments to be viewed in a shared interface. For self-managed Redis (both Redis Software and Redis Open Source), users can point Radar at each cluster using read-only credentials. In cases where clusters are not directly accessible—such as those behind firewalls or on private networks—a lightweight Radar agent can be installed within the environment. This agent connects to Redis Radar over TLS, eliminating the need for inbound access to the cluster.

## Fleet-Level Insights

Redis Radar collects and displays a variety of information, depending on the type of Redis deployment. This includes inventory details, version information, health status, memory usage, active alerts, security settings, license usage, and certificate status. These insights allow users to quickly identify what needs attention, such as an expiring certificate or an unhealthy database. By aggregating this information into a single tool, Redis Radar enables more efficient fleet management and reduces the effort required to assemble a comprehensive view of Redis deployments.

## Why a Fleet View Matters

Having a centralized view of all Redis deployments allows users to easily identify issues and plan routine maintenance. For example, a certificate approaching expiration is easier to overlook when checking clusters individually. With Redis Radar, such issues are visible alongside the rest of the fleet, making it easier to plan renewals. Similarly, identifying a database in an unhealthy state or a node under memory pressure becomes more straightforward. This contextual view reduces the time spent assembling data before taking action, enabling more efficient decision-making.

## Getting Started

Users can begin using Redis Radar by logging into the fully-managed service at [radar.redis.io](https://radar.redis.io/?ref=stirup.si) or by downloading the self-managed software version. Once connected, users can review the overview, open a database, and check what needs attention. The goal of Redis Radar is to make Redis estate management more intuitive, allowing users to focus on acting on insights rather than gathering them.
