Options

--patch-group (string)

The name of the patch group whose patch snapshot should be retrieved.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

• json
• text
• table
• yaml
• yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

• on
• off
• auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

• base64
• raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To get the state of a patch group

The following describe-patch-group-state example retrieves the high-level patch compliance summary for a patch group.

aws ssm describe-patch-group-state \
    --patch-group "Production"

Output:

{
    "Instances": 21,
    "InstancesWithCriticalNonCompliantPatches": 1,
    "InstancesWithFailedPatches": 2,
    "InstancesWithInstalledOtherPatches": 3,
    "InstancesWithInstalledPatches": 21,
    "InstancesWithInstalledPendingRebootPatches": 2,
    "InstancesWithInstalledRejectedPatches": 1,
    "InstancesWithMissingPatches": 3,
    "InstancesWithNotApplicablePatches": 4,
    "InstancesWithOtherNonCompliantPatches": 1,
    "InstancesWithSecurityNonCompliantPatches": 1,
    "InstancesWithUnreportedNotApplicablePatches": 2
}

Output

Instances -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes in the patch group.

InstancesWithInstalledPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with installed patches.

InstancesWithInstalledOtherPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with patches installed that aren’t defined in the patch baseline.

InstancesWithInstalledPendingRebootPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with patches installed by Patch Manager that haven’t been rebooted after the patch installation. The status of these managed nodes is NON_COMPLIANT .

InstancesWithInstalledRejectedPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with patches installed that are specified in a RejectedPatches list. Patches with a status of INSTALLED_REJECTED were typically installed before they were added to a RejectedPatches list.

Note

If ALLOW_AS_DEPENDENCY is the specified option for RejectedPatchesAction , the value of InstancesWithInstalledRejectedPatches will always be 0 (zero).

InstancesWithMissingPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with missing patches from the patch baseline.

InstancesWithFailedPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with patches from the patch baseline that failed to install.

InstancesWithNotApplicablePatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with patches that aren’t applicable.

InstancesWithUnreportedNotApplicablePatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with NotApplicable patches beyond the supported limit, which aren’t reported by name to Inventory. Inventory is a tool in Amazon Web Services Systems Manager.

InstancesWithCriticalNonCompliantPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes where patches that are specified as Critical for compliance reporting in the patch baseline aren’t installed. These patches might be missing, have failed installation, were rejected, or were installed but awaiting a required managed node reboot. The status of these managed nodes is NON_COMPLIANT .

InstancesWithSecurityNonCompliantPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes where patches that are specified as Security in a patch advisory aren’t installed. These patches might be missing, have failed installation, were rejected, or were installed but awaiting a required managed node reboot. The status of these managed nodes is NON_COMPLIANT .

InstancesWithOtherNonCompliantPatches -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes with patches installed that are specified as other than Critical or Security but aren’t compliant with the patch baseline. The status of these managed nodes is NON_COMPLIANT .

InstancesWithAvailableSecurityUpdates -> (integer)

The number of managed nodes for which security-related patches are available but not approved because because they didn’t meet the patch baseline requirements. For example, an updated version of a patch might have been released before the specified auto-approval period was over.

Applies to Windows Server managed nodes only.
