Security patch status by patch view

About

This view helps you understand the deployment status of different patches in your environment.

You can use the view tools to manage the approval of the patch deployment.

Shortly about the columns

Total number of assets on which the patch could be applied to.
Asset groups (approved for) shows the asset groups for which the patch deployment has been approved for.
Status: Installed - How many devices have the patch applied
Status: Installed pending reboot - How many devices have the patch applied but are still pending for a restart.
Status: Not installed - How many devices do not have the patch applied at the moment.
Status: Failed - The number of devices in which the patch installation has failed. You can find more information about the failure reason by going to the device's Asset page and clicking on the "Failed" text which is shown in the "Inventory report > Security > Security patch status > Product > Status" column.

Task	Description
Tools > Approve patches...	With this task, administrators and security officers can approve or deny the installation of the patch(es) that are selected from the view. You can also use the "Activate at" field to define a specific calendar day when the security patch approval becomes effective. If you choose a date there, then the approval doesn't come into effect before that. They can approve or deny the installation of the selected patch(es) to asset groups. Asset groups are basically groups of computers, and they can be used to target patch installation rules to groups of computers. For more information, see Applying patches and About asset groups. Notice that, depending on the patch management settings that have been configured in Miradore system settings for patch management, the use of this task may have an affect to what patch installation packages Miradore downloads to installation points. For more information, see System settings for patch management.
Tools > Download patches	Running this task will command Miradore to download the patch installation media to the media master installation point. Miradore will download the patch language versions defined in "Administration > System settings > Patch management > Patch download settings > Default languages to download". The "Downloads" table on the Patch item page shows which language versions of the patch Miradore has cached to the media master installation point. From there, you can also manually command Miradore to download additional language versions of the patch media.
Export	By default, this task exports all the view contents in the selected file format. However, you can use the check boxes in the view to export selected rows only. You can select rows for the export from one page of the view at a time. The supported file formats for the data export are CSV, Excel, and PDF. In some views, configuration items can be also exported to a group distribution.
Print	Prints the view contents.
