Creating a Custom Patch Configuration

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

Under these controls are a set of tabs:

Configuration Behavior: enables you to specify the schedule of the patch deployment, which patches are deployed, and how reboots are requested. For more information, see Configuration Behavior.
Associations: enables you to specify the endpoints that the selected patches are deployed to by associating the patch configuration with one or more agent policies. For more information, see Associations.
Schedule: lists upcoming tasks, enabling you to view all of the events that are projected to occur over the next 360 days using the currently selected configuration. Note that the information provided in this table is a projection; many things could occur to prevent one or more of the events from occurring.
History: enables you to track changes that have been made to the patch configuration. For more information, see History.

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: Saves the patch configuration and makes 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. For information about managing policy associations, see Associations.
Close: Closes the page without saving the latest changes to the patch configuration.
