      "text": "- Collect from **Redis Software** and **Redis Open Source** clusters behind a firewall, in a private subnet, or on a segmented network. Radar needs no inbound access to your network.\n- Choose between two modes. **Managed** agents receive source credentials from Radar, so you add and change sources from the Radar UI. **Static** agents read their sources from a file on the agent host, so those credentials never leave it.\n- Collect from a fully isolated network by exporting to a file on one host and submitting it from another.\n- Install from standalone agent packages for Linux on amd64 and arm64, including Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-3 builds.\n- Track every agent under **Settings > Agents** and in the **Connected agents** list on the Connections page, with its mode, platform, version, and last heartbeat.\n\nRadar accepts agent connections on its agent gRPC endpoint, which isn't enabled on every Radar deployment. See [Connect clusters with an agent](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/radar/agent)."
