This month, Sysdig Secure’s Container Registry scanning functionality became generally available for all users. This functionality provides an added layer of security between the pipeline and runtime scanning stages. On Sysdig Monitor, we introduced a feature to automatically translate Metrics alerts in form-based query to PromQL. This allows you to choose between the convenience of form and the flexibility of PromQL.
