Direct answer

Scanner Configuration

Tune Code Radar scan profiles, report output, cache behavior, vulnerability data, exclusions, and policy thresholds.

What is the fastest path for Code Radar scanner configuration?

Code Radar scanner configuration controls scan profiles, report output, cache behavior, vulnerability data, reviewed exclusions, and policy thresholds through project config.

Which commands matter first for Code Radar scanner configuration?

Start with `radar init`, `radar scan . --config .radar.toml`, and reviewed `[[exclusions.findings]]` entries. These commands keep implementation proof close to the repository instead of turning the docs page into a generic product description.

What evidence confirms Code Radar scanner configuration works?

Confirm a committed config file, explicit false-positive reason, suppressed finding behavior, and consistent local, MCP, hook, and CI results. This evidence should be visible before moving from documentation to a paid or shared workflow.

What should the reader avoid for Code Radar scanner configuration?

Do not hide findings with broad path excludes when a reviewed finding exclusion and reason is more auditable. Next step: Use rules docs before tuning thresholds, then run local scans and GitHub Actions with the same config.

Content decision bridge

Turn policy configuration workflow into a product decision.

Readers on Scanner Configuration need a short route from answer-seeking to proof, rollout, and purchase evidence. Tune Code Radar scan profiles, report output, cache behavior, vulnerability data, exclusions, and policy thresholds.

Verify the proof surface.

Scanner Configuration should lead to product proof, not only more reading. For this page, proof means SARIF output, a fail-on threshold, and reviewer-visible pull-request evidence.

Apply the repeat workflow.

Scanner Configuration becomes useful when the reader can repeat the workflow from the guide on a real repository. Here, rollout means a GitHub Actions workflow that can run the same scan shape repeatedly.

Choose the paid boundary.

Scanner Configuration should create a purchase path only when the product owns the next repeated job. For this intent, buying is justified by repository slots and paid CI enforcement for shared team policy.

Create config

Use `radar init` to create starter configuration and adjust it per project.

radar init
radar scan . --config .radar.toml

Exclude reviewed false positives

Use finding exclusions for reviewed false positives. They work in local scans, MCP tools, pre-commit hooks, and GitHub Actions because the scanner marks matching findings as suppressed before scorecards and gates are computed.

[[exclusions.findings]]
rule_id = "SEC-SQLI-001"
path = "src/generated/**"
reason = "Generated query builder reviewed manually"

[[exclusions.findings]]
fingerprint = "finding-fingerprint-from-json"
reason = "False positive confirmed in review"

Commercial next step

Convert tuned policy into shared enforcement.

The page "Scanner Configuration" should not be a dead end. Use this next step to connect the reader's current intent to the Code Radar page that can prove value, convert evaluation traffic, or move the workflow into paid enforcement.
