Description

Returns high-level aggregated patch compliance state for a patch group.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-patch-group-state
--patch-group <value>
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--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.

See 'aws help' for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

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:

{
  "InstancesWithNotApplicablePatches": 0,
  "InstancesWithMissingPatches": 0,
  "InstancesWithFailedPatches": 1,
  "InstancesWithInstalledOtherPatches": 4,

  "InstancesWithInstalledPatches": 3
}

Output

Instances -> (integer)

The number of instances in the patch group.

InstancesWithInstalledPatches -> (integer)

InstancesWithInstalledOtherPatches -> (integer)

The number of instances with patches installed that aren't defined in the patch baseline.

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.

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.
