📄️ Overview
What is Patch Management?
📄️ Patch Settings
Here, you will be able to make various configurations related to Patch. Patch Settings comes within the domain of Endpoint System Management. It is the process of the acquiring, testing, and deploying patches across the administered IT Assets (generally workstations and servers) in a systematic way. It also includes the administrative decision of deciding which patches are appropriate for deployment and documenting procedures like required configurations.
📄️ Access Controls
This tab allows you to configure the bandwidth utilization and relay server settings.
📄️ Remote Offices
Modern organizations are geographically dispersed. They have offices at different locations all controlled from a main office. Offices that are away from the main office are termed as Remote Offices. It may happen that all the offices of an organization form part of a single network. Individual offices may have a relay server: A relay server is used to allow communications from outside a company’s firewall to the internal Servers.
📄️ End Points Scope
Depending on the License agreement you have with us, the number of Computers you can manage for Patches is limited. All discovered Computers (with our Agent application) stay out of the scope of Patch Management by default; you have to bring them within the scope before you can use Patch Management.
📄️ Computer Groups
You can classify Computers into groups. Some of the use cases where having Computer Groups can be convenient are as follows:
📄️ System Health Settings
These settings help Motadata to flag Computers as either Highly Vulnerable or Vulnerable.
📄️ Deployment Policies
A deployment policy is created to control how a Deployment Request actually carries out the deployment of Patches. A user can create multiple policies and select any one of those when creating a Deployment Request.
📄️ Decline Patches
Decline Patch Configuration allows you to automate the process to ignore Patches for a specific set of Computers which is different from manual ignoring.
📄️ Packages
The first step towards deployment is to add Software Packages in the system. A Package has to be manually added to the Deployment module before it can be attached to a Deployment Request.
📄️ Registry Templates
These are templates that contain majority of the configurations related to the installed software, operating system, device drivers, and detected hardware.
📄️ RedHat Patch Settings
This tab provides you with options to select how you can fetch the RedHat patches.
