The missing open source Kubernetes UI. Topology, event timeline, and service traffic — plus resource browsing and Helm management.
Radar is an open-source Kubernetes dashboard written in Go that runs as a single binary on a developer's laptop with no agents or CRDs required on the cluster side. It provides a browser-based UI covering cluster topology visualization, an event timeline (backed by memory or SQLite), live service traffic inspection, resource browsing, log streaming, pod exec, container image filesystem inspection, port forwarding, Helm release management, and GitOps monitoring for both FluxCD and ArgoCD. The tool connects to any conformant cluster including GKE, EKS, AKS, and local distributions like minikube and k3s by reading the local kubeconfig. Its built-in MCP server exposes cluster data to AI assistants, making it directly usable with Claude through the Model Context Protocol. A notable detail is that the SQLite timeline backend supports configurable size limits with automatic pruning of old events. Kubernetes operators, platform engineers, and GitOps teams working locally or in airgapped environments are the primary audience.
