All Quiet vs Inspektor Gadget: at a glance
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 Inspektor Gadget?
Inspektor Gadget keeps cutting the privileges an eBPF tool has to ask for.
Inspektor Gadget v0.57.0 lets gadgets run rootless with cap_bpf, cap_perfmon and cap_sys_ptrace, and adds a flag that drops CAP_SYS_ADMIN on Kubernetes deployments. v0.56.0 introduced experimental multi-tenancy through TokenReview and RBAC. The v0.56.1 and v0.56.2 patches backported USDT parsing fixes, so crafted binaries cannot crash the process or exhaust memory, and bounded owner reference enrichment.

All Quiet

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.
Inspektor Gadget
2.5INFRA · APIS
Inspektor Gadget keeps cutting the privileges an eBPF tool has to ask for.
◆ Current state
Inspektor Gadget v0.57.0 lets gadgets run rootless with cap_bpf, cap_perfmon and cap_sys_ptrace, and adds a flag that drops CAP_SYS_ADMIN on Kubernetes deployments. v0.56.0 introduced experimental multi-tenancy through TokenReview and RBAC. The v0.56.1 and v0.56.2 patches backported USDT parsing fixes, so crafted binaries cannot crash the process or exhaust memory, and bounded owner reference enrichment.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is lower trust: fewer privileges for the tool and less trust in the binaries it inspects. Multi-tenancy, rootless runs and hardened ELF parsing all remove reasons a security team would refuse to deploy it. GPU telemetry from v0.55 has no follow-up in the recent notes.
◆ Prediction
Multi-tenancy graduating from experimental remains the likely next milestone as it pairs with reduced-privilege deployments. Whether GPU telemetry gets gadget consumers soon is unclear from these entries.
