Predictive Patching enables you to predict the success rate of your patching cycle. 

Before deploying your actual patch cycle, you can receive a comprehensive analysis detailing your expected success rate as well as the areas of improvement that should be addressed to enhance the patching cycle's success.

Go to > Patches > Predictive Patching > Run

Predictive Patching Options

JetPatch can predict the success rate in one of the following options -

• Environment Prediction - Prediction is made on Operating Systems and/or Endpoint Groups. Prediction is considering the current moment (ie: "what would happen if I ran a Remediation Plan NOW").
  
  
• Remediation Plan Prediction - Prediction is made on an existing Remediation Plan and considering Cycle Start Date and End Date. This will consider the Remediation Plan properties such as:
  • Endpoint Groups
  • Endpoints Maintenance Windows
  • Patches
  • Patches actions
    
    

Predictive Patching Results

Information Analysis 

• Your predicted patching success rate
• The number of applicable endpoints that were involved in the prediction calculation.
• The number of applicable patches that were involved in the prediction calculation.
• The number of endpoints that require attention and cause a direct impact on the success rate.

The detailed breakdown is also scoped by:

• Operation System

• Smart Groups 

How To Improve

By clicking on the 'How to Improve' button you will see a complete report on the endpoint that requires your attention and their exemptions. 

Report
