Define the patching policy

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

To define the patch policy:

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

1. Save the policy by clicking on 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 behavior of the policy, you can use the Edit button, which allows you to:
   • Change the name of the policy.
   • Change the report 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, go to the Schedules tab -> Edit.
