You can use these events with Insights native integrations for Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Slack, ServiceNow, Splunk, and Event-Driven Ansible.
6.2.5. Image builder
Insights image builder repository recommendations
Insights image builder can now help find packages that are not available in the currently selected repositories. If a package is not found in the currently selected repositories, image builder provides an option to Search other repositories. This option searches for the package in repositories you have already configured, as well as other popular repositories.

This update to Insights Advisor for OCP includes easy-to-identify Update risk labels, which allow you to immediately spot clusters that face update blocking problems.
6.3.2. Vulnerability dashboard

Before this update, you could only view affected clusters in your environment for the CVEs affecting your infrastructure. The dashboard did not show affected images. With this release, you can now view container images affected by the vulnerabilities in your OCP environment.
