(Optional): true = deploy only approved patches, false = deploy all
Enter the list of resources with missing patches in your network,E.g. ResourceIDs:[601,602]
Enter the list of missing patches detected in your network,E.g. PatchIDs:[103980,103981,103980]
Provide a name for the Install Patch configuration,E.g. ConfigName:API install patch test1
Provide a description for the Install Patch configuration,E.g. ConfigDescription:API test
This will initiate deployment of the defined Install Patches Configuration to the specified targets in accordance with the provided criteria,E.g. actionToPerform:Deploy/ Deploy Immediately/ Draft,Deploy : The deployment will initiate upon the agent's contact with the server,Deploy Immediately : Deployed instantly without waiting for agent contact,Draft : Save the configuration as a draft.
Retrieve the Deployment Policy ID by executing the following API, /api/1.4/patch/deploymentpolicies and and provide the value of the template_id param value.
Specify the date and time for patch installation to begin. Patches will be installed based on the selected options after the scheduled time. Use the format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM.
This configuration will not be applied after the specified time. Use the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:MM.
Provide the preferred deployment option here. Accepted values : 0/1/2,E.g. deploymentType: 0/1/2,0 - Deploy only (default)This option enables you to deploy the selected patches to the targeted endpoints according to the relevant deployment policies,1 - Publish in Self Service Portal only (DeploymentPolicyTemplateID will be ignored),This option enables administrators to publish the selected patches to the Self Service Portal. End users and server owners can then initiate the installation process at their convenience,2 - This option incorporates both deployment and publication actions.Note: If deploymentType is set to 0 or 1, then the DeploymentPolicyTemplateID field is mandatory.
Specify the time, in milliseconds, for force deploying the patches to unpatched systems in your network,E.g. deadlineTime: 1691393760 (Time in milliseconds),Note : Max of 1 year is supported
Depending on the selected Deployment Policy, you can choose to enable Force Reboot either within or outside the deployment window. Accepted Values : 0/1/2,E.g. forceRebootOption:0/1/2,0 - Not configured,1 - Within the deployment/reboot window,2 - Outside the deployment/reboot window.
Specify the required list of resource names for deployment ex:resourceNames:[win-1422,wind-144d]
Specify the required list of Custom Group names for deployment ex:customGroups:[cg-1,cg-2]
Specify the required list of Ip addresses for deployment ex:remoteOffices:[Local Office,Remote-1]
Specify the required list of Custom Group names for deployment ex:ipAddresses:[127.0.0.1,126.0.0.1]
Enabling this option will redeploy the configuration on failed targets.E.g. "retrySettings":{"enableRetrySettings": true,"noOfRetries": 2,"logonStartupMinRetry": 1,"refreshMinRetry": 1}enableRetrySettings,true : To enable retry settings,false: To disable retry settings,noOfRetries:Total number of retries count , Accepted values 1-10,logonStartupMinRetry Retry during system startup,refreshMinRetry Retry during refresh cycle,Note : Enabled by default. To disable, set 'enableRetrySettings' to false. Retry count: logonStartupMinRetry + refreshMinRetry.
true-To enable retry, false-To disable retry.
Specify retry values range from 1-10
Specify retry count range from 0-9 during user logon
Specify the retry count range (0–9) for computers that complete the 90-minute refresh cycle.
