Chapter 3. July 2025

New Splunk application update on Splunkbase marketplace

The Red Hat Insights for Splunk application is re-certified for Splunk version 10 compatibility, and includes additional inventory events on the Event table.

ServiceNow application update on the ServiceNow Store

The FlowTemplates for Red Hat Insights application is re-certified for ServiceNow’s Xanadu and Yokohama releases.

New simplified Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) roles

Red Hat Insights improved user access for Insights services by introducing three consolidated service roles that simplify User Access, strengthen security, and boost operational efficiency. They include:

Immutable systems now displayed in inventory

Inventory unifies all system types into a single, streamlined view through the following updates:

UI fixes and improvements

Red Hat Insights made several UI enhancements and fixes:

Insightsadvisor in Satellite 6.17.2

With the Satellite 6.17.2 release, you can download and install a new container image for Insightsadvisor in Satellite that includes new and updated rules published through the end of June.

Insights advisor is fully open source

The Insights advisor service is now open source. Previously, only the advisor engine (backend) was open source. Now all of the service is open source and can be distributed to our customers through Satellite under open source license. This adds more value to advisor users, especially disconnected Satellite users.

New advisor service recommendations

The Insights advisor service detects and recommends solutions for the following issues:

Cross-linking between advisor and vulnerability for high-visibility security rules

When Red Hat identifies a high-visibility vulnerability, Insights creates a security rule and cross-links the security rule between the advisor rule and the CVE in vulnerability. This helps you to tailor your response based on additional information.

Filter by operating system versions in CVE lists

You can now filter by operating system version in CVE Lists to help you prioritize your remediation efforts.

New “Report by operating system versions”

The new Report by operating system versions vulnerability report addresses the level of exposure in out-of-the-box versions of RHEL. This new capability allows Red Hat Insights to more effectively assess the security posture (from a CVE perspective) of your RHEL instances. By understanding the potential vulnerabilities and risks present in default configurations, you can make more informed decisions about upgrades and prioritize them more strategically.

Upcoming compliance APIv1 deprecation notice

The Insights compliance APIv1 will be deprecated on August 8, 2025, and switched off on September 5, 2025. The new version of the API is available at Detail of Cloud Services for RHEL Compliance API v2.

New troubleshooting tasks

The following two new tasks are available to help you troubleshoot your RHEL systems and the tasks execution framework that Red Hat Insights uses:

Content templates support layered products

When defining content that you want to install and patch with content templates, you can include the following layered products, in addition to RHEL, EPEL, and custom repositories:

Improvements to Microsoft Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) images

The configuration for RHEL images for WSL has been improved. After downloading WSL, the WSL images will now display the correct Microsoft icon for WSL images. Additionally, the image has cloud-init pre-installed.

Improvements to configuration options

The following configuration options are now more clearly explained and easier to use, such as with drop-down lists to select valid responses:

Automatic registration to Satellite is now in production

When building an image, Register with Satellite is now an option to pre-configure in the image. This will ensure that when you provision systems from a template image, the systems automatically register back to the Satellite server.

New features available for testing in Preview

The following features are available to test in Preview:

Upcoming decommission of Launch service in Image Builder

As of August 31, 2025, the Image Builder Launch service will be discontinued. You will no longer be able to launch instances directly from custom images by using this service. After this date, you must launch your custom images by following the cloud provider’s, Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, or Red Hat Satellite standard procedures.

Project-based costs

Red Hat Insights cost management now has project costs, which allow you to set prices per OpenShift project. To avoid human mistakes (for example, setting an additional charge for control plane projects), this rate is tag-based: you must set the tag key (and optionally, the value) you want to charge based on. It is possible to define many project-based charges. For example, you might want to set a minimum charge for the privilege of having a project in some cluster and then also an additional charge per SLA.

Czech Koruna (CZK) currency support

Insights supports the Czech Koruna in cost models, cost explorer, API and some reports, and other areas of cost management.
