[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
--patch-group (string)
The name of the patch group whose patch snapshot should be retrieved.
--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.
--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

To get the state of a patch group
This example gets the high-level patch compliance summary for a patch group.
Command:
aws ssm describe-patch-group-state --patch-group "Production"
Output:
{
"Instances": 2,
"InstancesWithInstalledPatches": 2,
"InstancesWithInstalledOtherPatches": 2,
"InstancesWithInstalledRejectedPatches": 0,
"InstancesWithMissingPatches": 2,
"InstancesWithFailedPatches": 0,
"InstancesWithNotApplicablePatches": 2
}
Instances -> (integer)
The number of instances in the patch group.
InstancesWithInstalledPatches -> (integer)
The number of instances with installed patches.
InstancesWithInstalledOtherPatches -> (integer)
The number of instances with patches installed that aren't defined in the patch baseline.
InstancesWithInstalledPendingRebootPatches -> (integer)
Reserved for future use.
InstancesWithInstalledRejectedPatches -> (integer)
The number of instances 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 instances with missing patches from the patch baseline.
InstancesWithFailedPatches -> (integer)
The number of instances with patches from the patch baseline that failed to install.
InstancesWithNotApplicablePatches -> (integer)
The number of instances with patches that aren't applicable.
InstancesWithUnreportedNotApplicablePatches -> (integer)
The number of instances with NotApplicable patches beyond the supported limit, which are not reported by name to Systems Manager Inventory.
