Installing the Agent

By Installing the Hudu Radar Agent silently, you automatically agree to Hudu's Terms and Conditions.

This installer uses a Radar IP address instead of a setup code. This is the IP address of the machine running the Hudu Radar Application.

EXE Installer (Run as Administrator)

Use this command in Command Prompt or script:

"C:\Windows\Temp\hudu-radar-agent.exe" /VERYSILENT /RADAR_IP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0" RADAR_CODE="YOUR_SETUP_CODE_HERE"

Replace 0.0.0.0 with your actual Discovery IP address. Replace "YOUR_SETUP_CODE_HERE" with the setup code from the IPAM section in Hudu.

MSI Installer (Run as Administrator)

Use this command in Command Prompt or script:

msiexec /i "C:\Windows\Temp\hudu-radar-agent.msi" /qn RADAR_IP_ADDRESS="0.0.0.0" RADAR_CODE="YOUR_SETUP_CODE_HERE"

Replace 0.0.0.0 with your actual Radar IP address. Replace "YOUR_SETUP_CODE_HERE" with the setup code from the IPAM section in Hudu.

FAQ

Do I need to install the Hudu Radar collector on every workstation?

Answer: No. The Hudu Radar collector only needs to be installed on a single device within the client’s environment, not on every workstation. MSPs typically install it on a secure server or management device that only the MSP controls and has access to. As a best practice, if Radar is installed on a Domain Controller or other privileged system, end users should not have access to that device. Access should remain restricted to those who have access to your Hudu instance.
