Installation

Download the radar-collector binary for your platform from the releases page.

Binary Installation

# Download binary (replace VERSION and PLATFORM)
curl -LO https://github.com/redis-field-engineering/radar-collector/releases/download/VERSION/radar-collector-PLATFORM

# Make executable
chmod +x radar-collector-PLATFORM
mv radar-collector-PLATFORM /usr/local/bin/radar-collector

# Verify installation
radar-collector --version

Docker

Pull the Docker image:

# Latest stable alpine image (recommended for Kubernetes and production)
docker pull ghcr.io/redis-field-engineering/radar-collector:alpine-latest

# Or pin to a specific version
docker pull ghcr.io/redis-field-engineering/radar-collector:alpine-v1.2.1

# Or latest (may use a different base image)
docker pull ghcr.io/redis-field-engineering/radar-collector:latest

Run with configuration file:

docker run -v /path/to/radar-collector.yml:/etc/radar/radar-collector.yml \
  ghcr.io/redis-field-engineering/radar-collector:alpine-latest

The default entrypoint runs radar-collector --config /etc/radar/radar-collector.yml, so you only need to mount the config file to the expected path.

Note: If your environment uses a corporate CA for TLS, mount the CA certificate bundle as well:

docker run \
  -v /path/to/radar-collector.yml:/etc/radar/radar-collector.yml \
  -v /path/to/ca-bundle.crt:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:ro \
  ghcr.io/redis-field-engineering/radar-collector:alpine-latest
