Specify patching parameters

Set parameters for node groups under patch management by first applying the pe_patch class to them, then specifying your desired parameters.

Before you begin:
Create at least one node group under patch management.
  1. On the Node groups page, select the patching node group you want to add parameters to.
  2. If it doesn't already exist, add the pe_patch class to the node group.
    1. On the Classes tab, enter pe_patch and select Add class.
    2. Commit changes.
  3. In the pe_patch class, add the patch_group parameter and specify a value that describes the nodes in this node group.
    The patch_group parameter is used to identify which nodes to run patching plans against. You might specify patch_group names that match your node groups, or apply the same patch_group parameter across several patching node groups that have similar characteristics.
  4. Specify any additional patching parameters in the pe_patch class.
  5. Commit changes.
What to do next
Run Puppet on nodes in the node group before running patching tasks or plans.
