Radar detects ecosystem tools at startup by listing CRDs in your cluster. If the CRD is installed, the matching renderer activates - typed detail views, smart columns in the resource browser, topology edges, AI-summary support, and the right action buttons (sync, suspend, rollout, restore). Every integration on this page is compiled into the binary; nothing to install, nothing to configure.Documentation Index

- Graceful degradation. Missing RBAC for a CRD: the panel shows a “needs read on
argoproj.io/applications” hint, not a blank page. Missing CRDs entirely: the integration is silently skipped. - No version handshake. Radar reads the schema, not a hand-written client. New CRD versions land in upstream releases without a Radar update.
GitOps & rollouts
GitOps (Flux + Argo CD)
Argo Applications and Flux Kustomizations / HelmReleases / Git & OCI repositories. Sync, suspend, refresh, terminate; managed-resource inventory; topology grouping per app.
Argo Rollouts
Rollout strategy, current revision, traffic split, pause / resume.
Argo Workflows
Workflow status, step graph, retry / suspend / resume.
Networking & service mesh
Gateway API
Gateways, HTTPRoutes, TLSRoutes, GRPCRoutes, TCPRoutes - typed views and topology edges.
Istio
VirtualServices, DestinationRules, traffic edges, mTLS scope.
Traefik
IngressRoutes, Middlewares, TLSStores.
Contour
HTTPProxies and policy attachments.
Network Policies
Native NetworkPolicy plus Cilium’s CiliumNetworkPolicy + CiliumClusterwideNetworkPolicy. Coverage card on the dashboard. Hubble-correlated denied flows in the traffic view.
Live traffic providers
Hubble (Cilium) and Caretta auto-detected for live request flows. Detail on the Traffic view.
Capacity & autoscaling
Karpenter
NodePools, NodeClaims, EC2NodeClass / AKSNodeClass / GCPNodeClass, full provisioning chain in topology.
Cluster API (CAPI)
Declarative cluster lifecycle. Cluster, ClusterClass, KubeadmControlPlane, MachineDeployment, MachineSet, Machine - with infrastructure-provider renderers.
KEDA
ScaledObjects + ScaledJobs, current scale, triggers.
Vertical Pod Autoscaler
VPA recommendations vs. live requests/limits, mode (off/initial/auto/recreate).
Cost & observability
OpenCost
Powers the Cost view - by namespace, workload, node.
Prometheus Operator
Prometheus, ServiceMonitor, PodMonitor, AlertmanagerConfig. Auto-discovery of cluster Prometheus for traffic/metrics.
Security & policy
Trivy Operator
VulnerabilityReports + ConfigAuditReports inline on every workload.
Kyverno
Policies, ClusterPolicies, PolicyReports - violations attached to the resources they’re failing on.
cert-manager
Certificates, Issuers, ClusterIssuers, expiry tracking.
Sealed Secrets
SealedSecret browse, decrypted-Secret link, status conditions.
External Secrets Operator
ExternalSecrets, SecretStores, ClusterSecretStores - sync state and provider config.
Data & lifecycle
Velero
Backups, Restores, Schedules - with restore actions in-line.
CloudNativePG
Clusters, Poolers, Backups; primary / replica visibility.
Knative
Serving (Service / Route / Configuration / Revision) and Eventing (Broker / Trigger).
Unrecognized CRDs
Any CRD not listed above still appears in the resource browser under its generic API group, with full YAML in the detail drawer. You don’t get a typed renderer or topology edges; you keep search, filter, and edit. To add a typed renderer for a CRD family Radar doesn’t yet know, see the contributor guide.Compared to plugin-based UIs
| Radar | Plugin-based UIs | |
|---|---|---|
| AI / MCP context | Every integration in the same context window | Each plugin emits its own (or doesn’t) |
| Update cycle | One binary version pin | N plugins, N pinned versions, N upgrade paths |
| Argo, Flux, Helm | Built-in | Install plugin |
| Live traffic, cost, Trivy, Kyverno | Built-in | Install plugin per provider |
