Arqit SKA-Platform PaaS Release v24.07

What’s new?

Customised ‘Activity status' boundaries

System administrators can customise the boundaries between the Green (Active), Amber (Recently active) and Red (Inactive) activity statuses via the administration console.

The time period for each status can be set across the estate by navigating to the ‘Policies’ page and selecting the edit button for the ‘Default Device Monitoring Policy’. Users can then edit the values and choose the relevant units for the upper boundaries of the Green and Amber statuses, (minimum of 1 minute, max of 7 days).

More granular policies can be applied to OUs or devices by copying the ‘Default Device Monitoring Policy’ instance, editing the values in each copy, then applying them as required.

Activity statuses are calculated from Heartbeat messages sent by devices to the platform. Devices not sending heartbeat messages will remain unaffected (the Activity status will remain Grey (Unknown)).

What’s changed?

The liboqs libraries used by the platform have been updated to v0.10.0. For more details, see https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/liboqs/releases/tag/0.10.0.
