Document Deployment Duration

Following your first Patch Tuesday, monitor how long it takes for each deployment to complete. Monitoring each deployment gives you important data, such as:

• The average amount of time it takes the deployment to complete.
• The average amount of time it takes absentee endpoints (such as laptops and VPN-connected endpoints) to complete.

Fully patched and deploy duration success metrics may be defined differently for different organizations depending on the mobility of the endpoints under your management, how often the endpoints are online, or the type of endpoints under management (such as desktop or server).

To Find Information About Deployment Duration:

• Strategize and organize patch deployments to the appropriate endpoints and endpoint groups, with the help of Ivanti Reporting Services:
  • Run the Patch Tuesday Monitoring Report
  • Select the group(s) that you are monitoring
  • The report provides a summary of the patch status for a selected group of machines for the critical patches released in the selected Patch Tuesday cycle.
  • Set the Auto Refresh parameter to monitor the progress of deployments on endpoints in near-real-time.
