What is All Quiet?

All Quiet moves from enterprise integrations to the on-call engineer's own day.

All Quiet is an incident management and on-call tool. Three releases on 28 September rebuilt the on-call calendar with effective and detailed views and overrides from any cell, added recurring snooze windows per integration plus detection of incidents that resolve themselves quickly, and introduced a personal on-call dashboard with shift summaries and noise metrics. Before that, August and early September added scoped API keys, Salesforce and Jira two-way sync and webhook rate-limit alerts.

What is Clair?

Clair 4.10 RC can read SBOMs to match Java vulnerabilities.

Clair cut its first 4.10.0 release candidate on November 13, eleven months after 4.9.0. Its Java indexers can now read CycloneDX SBOM files and treat them as the source of truth, and Red Hat's VEX data now covers Maven advisories, so Java packages in Red Hat images can be matched. It also reduces memory use when many packages share a source package.

All Quiet moves from enterprise integrations to the on-call engineer's own day.

◆ Current state

All Quiet is an incident management and on-call tool. Three releases on 28 September rebuilt the on-call calendar with effective and detailed views and overrides from any cell, added recurring snooze windows per integration plus detection of incidents that resolve themselves quickly, and introduced a personal on-call dashboard with shift summaries and noise metrics. Before that, August and early September added scoped API keys, Salesforce and Jira two-way sync and webhook rate-limit alerts.

◆ Where it's heading

The summer work targeted buyers: access control and integrations that larger organisations require. The September work targets responders: less noise, clearer schedules and a view of one's own shifts. Noise detection for auto-resolving incidents is the most consequential piece, since it turns alert fatigue into a metric teams can act on.

◆ Prediction

Expect noise metrics to feed into suppression or routing rules, since detection without action is the obvious next gap. The feed has no entries after 28 September.

Clair 4.10 RC can read SBOMs to match Java vulnerabilities.

◆ Current state

Clair cut its first 4.10.0 release candidate on November 13, eleven months after 4.9.0. Its Java indexers can now read CycloneDX SBOM files and treat them as the source of truth, and Red Hat's VEX data now covers Maven advisories, so Java packages in Red Hat images can be matched. It also reduces memory use when many packages share a source package.

◆ Where it's heading

Since 4.8 Clair has moved from Red Hat's older OVAL data to VEX, and each release follows Red Hat's security data more closely. 4.10 adds SBOMs as an input, so Clair can match what an image's own manifest declares, not only what it finds on disk.

◆ Prediction

More 4.10 release candidates and then a final are likely; the long gap between releases suggests that could take weeks.
