Creating a Custom Patch Configuration

To create your own custom patch configuration, on the Patch settings page, click Create configuration.

• Configuration name: The name you want to assign to this configuration.
• Comment: Provide a comment that describes the purpose of this configuration.

Under these controls are a set of tabs:

• Configuration Behavior: enables you to specify which patches are deployed, how reboots are requested, and the schedule. For more information, see Configuration Behavior tab.
• Associations: specify which endpoints the selected patches are deployed to by associating the patch configuration with one or more agent policies. For more information, see Associations tab.
• History: enables you to track changes that have been made to the patch configuration. For more information, see History tab.

For additional information specific to patching Linux devices, see Patching Linux Devices.

Saving and Activating Your Custom Patch Configuration

The following buttons are available while using any of the three patch configuration tabs.

• Save and make active: Save the patch configuration and make it active for the devices that are assigned to the associated policies. Each device will receive the new configuration the next time the device's agent checks in with Ivanti Neurons.
• Save: Saves the patch configuration without closing the page, enabling you to keep working.
• Undo changes: Undoes any changes, returning the patch configuration to its previous saved state.
• Archive / Restore configuration: Archives or restores the configuration. You cannot archive configurations that have a policy associated with them.
• Close: Closes the page without saving the latest changes to the patch configuration.
