Define the patching policy

The patching policy indicates how the operating system patching will be managed for a set of devices belonging to a reporting group. Therefore, patching is not done individually, but on those devices that belong to a specific reporting group.

To define the patching policy:

1. In the Portal menu, select the option Patch -> Targets.
2. Create a new target by clicking on the + New button (or select one from the list, if you wish to modify). Give it a name and, optionally, select the reporting group to which this policy will apply.

1. Save the policy by clicking New at the bottom of the previous pop-up panel.
2. The information of the new policy will appear on the screen.

5. To change the policy's behavior, you can use the Edit button, which allows you to:
   • Change the policy name.
   • Change the reporting groups to which the policy applies.
   • Select whether the devices will reboot or attempt to boot on the network (Wake On LAN) when applying the patches.
6. To change the scheduling of the patch policy application, you must go to the Schedules tab -> Edit.
