Automatic Remediation Plans Rules

The remediation plan rule, is based on a dynamic patch filter. Considering the repeat type interval, JetPatch checks if there are any patches in the filter, that are needed and deploys them during the maintenance schedule if 'auto-activate' is configured. 

To access the Automatic Remediation Plans Rules, navigate to Patches -> Remediation Plans .

Click on "SELECT ACTION" and choose "Create/Edit Remediation Plan Rules".

To create a new rule click on the button.

Note - Automatic Remediation Plans rules are based on existing Patch Filter. For more information check the "Patch Saved Filters" section in Patch Catalog.

Insert the following information:

• Rule Name
• Patch Filter - JetPatch will include the patches in the chosen patch filter results into the newly created Remediation Plan
• Repeat Every -
  • Repeat Interval - Specify the interval of the automated remediation plan creation
  • Repeat Frequency - Day/Week/Month
• Repeat Entity - This section will be changed based on the Repeat Frequency:
  • Repeat Frequency = Day - The only information to add is the exact time & timezone of the plan creation
  • Repeat Frequency = Week  - you can specify which exact days in the week JetPatch will create the automated plan, along with the exact time & timezone of the plan creation.
  • Repeat Frequency = Month - There are two possible "Month" options:
    • Recurring Time - Trigger the Remediation plan every {repeat type | first, second, third, fourth, last} and {day of the week | Sunday, ..., Saturday} at a specific time
    • Day In The Month - Specify a day {1,2,3,...31} and time you would like the RP to be repeated on
• Create a plan now flag - if saving the rule with this field marked, JetPatch will create a plan immediately.
• Activate the plan on creation - JetPatch will activate the plan automatically based on the repeat fields you have selected.
• Workflow - Select the required Workflows for the different operating systems families.

Note #1 - If JetPatch needs to create a plan but there are no patches in the Patch Filter result, the plan won't be created and a proper log will be shown in "Logs & Alerts" section, in Platform Configuration.

Note #2 - Automatic Remediation Plan rule has an "Automatic Creation" status. If disabled (by default) plan won't be created. A rule can be enabled by editing the rule and enabling in in the right top cornet switch component.

Note #3 - If the selected Patch Filter has the "Endpoint Group" table filter - JetPatch will apply the plan only on the groups in the "Endpoint Group" table filter.

Note #4 - If the selected Patch Filter has the "Endpoint Name" table filter - JetPatch will apply the plan only on the groups having the endpoint (from "Endpoint Name" table filter) assign to them.
