Get Started

Welcome to Paradime’s Radar! This guide will help you set up the components for the Radar features you want to use. Radar offers powerful capabilities including cost optimization, dbt™ monitoring, team efficiency tracking, and real-time alerting.

​

Setup Steps

Select the feature(s) you want to enable and follow the corresponding setup steps. Radar’s dbt™ pages (Schedules, Models, Sources, and Tests) and the Work page need a connected repository and a Bolt production warehouse connection. Until both are set up, those pages show a setup checklist. The cost pages, Alerts, and Looker work without them, so a workspace with only a cost connection opens Radar on its warehouse’s cost pages.

​

1. Cost Management

If you want to monitor and optimize data warehouse costs, add a cost connection to your data warehouse:
