Create Patch Baseline

ssm_create_patch_baseline R Documentation

Creates a patch baseline

Description

Creates a patch baseline.

For information about valid key-value pairs in PatchFilters for each supported operating system type, see PatchFilter.

Usage

ssm_create_patch_baseline(OperatingSystem, Name, GlobalFilters,
  ApprovalRules, ApprovedPatches, ApprovedPatchesComplianceLevel,
  ApprovedPatchesEnableNonSecurity, RejectedPatches,
  RejectedPatchesAction, Description, Sources, ClientToken, Tags)

Arguments

OperatingSystem

Defines the operating system the patch baseline applies to. The default value is WINDOWS.

Name

[required] The name of the patch baseline.

GlobalFilters

A set of global filters used to include patches in the baseline.

ApprovalRules

A set of rules used to include patches in the baseline.

ApprovedPatches

A list of explicitly approved patches for the baseline.

For information about accepted formats for lists of approved patches and rejected patches, see About package name formats for approved and rejected patch lists in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

ApprovedPatchesComplianceLevel

Defines the compliance level for approved patches. When an approved patch is reported as missing, this value describes the severity of the compliance violation. The default value is UNSPECIFIED.

ApprovedPatchesEnableNonSecurity

Indicates whether the list of approved patches includes non-security updates that should be applied to the managed nodes. The default value is false. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.

RejectedPatches

A list of explicitly rejected patches for the baseline.

For information about accepted formats for lists of approved patches and rejected patches, see About package name formats for approved and rejected patch lists in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.

RejectedPatchesAction

The action for Patch Manager to take on patches included in the RejectedPackages list.

ALLOW_AS_DEPENDENCY

Linux and macOS: A package in the rejected patches list is installed only if it is a dependency of another package. It is considered compliant with the patch baseline, and its status is reported as INSTALLED_OTHER. This is the default action if no option is specified.

Windows Server: Windows Server doesn't support the concept of package dependencies. If a package in the rejected patches list and already installed on the node, its status is reported as INSTALLED_OTHER. Any package not already installed on the node is skipped. This is the default action if no option is specified.

BLOCK

All OSs: Packages in the rejected patches list, and packages that include them as dependencies, aren't installed by Patch Manager under any circumstances. If a package was installed before it was added to the rejected patches list, or is installed outside of Patch Manager afterward, it's considered noncompliant with the patch baseline and its status is reported as INSTALLED_REJECTED.

Description

A description of the patch baseline.

Sources

Information about the patches to use to update the managed nodes, including target operating systems and source repositories. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.

ClientToken

User-provided idempotency token.

Tags

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag a patch baseline to identify the severity level of patches it specifies and the operating system family it applies to. In this case, you could specify the following key-value pairs:

  • ⁠Key=PatchSeverity,Value=Critical⁠

  • ⁠Key=OS,Value=Windows⁠

To add tags to an existing patch baseline, use the add_tags_to_resource operation.

Value

A list with the following syntax: 

list(
  BaselineId = "string"
)
