Administrators and above can view their instance's current Radar collector count and usage by navigating to Admin --> License Key. Here, you'll see how many Hudu Radar collectors are in use out of the total included in your tier, along with a list of the companies currently using Hudu Radar.
Purchasing Hudu Radar
Hudu Radar uses tiered, collector-based pricing. A collector is one Radar install per client environment, so each company/space/client you'd like to utilize Radar in will use one collector from your tier. Visit Hudu HQ portal to select or change your Radar tier. Once you have added or updated your tier, go to Admin → License Key in your Hudu instance, and click Refresh next to the Hudu Radar collectors count to apply the changes. After that, you should see the option to Enable Hudu Radar in Admin > External Apps.
| Tier | Collectors included | Monthly | Annual (10% off) |

Utilizing a Radar Collector
To begin utilizing Radar for a company, simply navigate to that company's IPAM section and click Activate Hudu Radar in the top right. This will automatically create a Hudu Radar section in the left side panel. Once Hudu Radar has been activated, that company will use one collector from your tier.
To get started, navigate to the Hudu Radar section:
Step 1. Download Radar
- Download and install the Radar application on a Windows machine within the client's network.
Step 2. Get Radar code
- Each company using Radar is assigned a unique code. Keep this code secure, as it is used to identify your Radar deployments.
Step 3. Start Scanning
- Once installed, Radar will automatically begin scanning the network and populating this page with data. In the meantime, check out some helpful resources to make sure you're getting the most out of Hudu Radar.
If all collectors in your tier are in use, users will receive an error message when they click the Hudu Radar Code button in a company that is not already utilizing Radar. For example, if your Starter tier includes five collectors and Radar is already active in five companies, you'll receive an error in a sixth company letting you know that no Hudu Radar collectors are available.
Managing Radar Use Per Company
A collector is assigned to a company when a user generates a Hudu Radar code from the IPAM section of the company. If you need to remove Radar from a company, simply click "Remove" next to the company's name in the Hudu Radar section on Admin --> License Key. This will remove Radar from the company and free up a collector for use by another company. If Radar is removed from a company, any networks and/or assets created in the company by Radar will remain but will no longer receive automatic updates from Radar scans. The network map created by Radar will also be removed.
Radar Limited Mode
If the number of companies using Radar is greater than the number of collectors included in your Radar tier in Hudu HQ, your instance will automatically be placed in Hudu Radar Limited Mode. This means that Radar scans will pause and network maps will be removed until the discrepancy is fixed. This situation could arise if you move to a smaller tier in Hudu HQ before you reduce the number of companies using Radar in your instance.
