Managing Maintenance Windows and Schedules in Bulk via Python Script

This guide explains how to use the maintenanceWindowAutomation.py script to add or remove Maintenance Windows (MW) and Schedule Entries in JetPatch using a CSV file and REST API.

Prerequisites

1. Jetpatch Manager version 4.2.8.254 UR6 and up

2. Python version 3.4 and up on the JetPatch server (via the intigua-python-client RPM)

3. SSH to JetPatch server and copy the attached shell script to /opt/intigua-python-client/

4. Maintenance Window names should already be created, this script just adds new entries

5. For append / delete_add create a CSV file 

Format:

maintenanceWindowName,maintenanceScheduleName,startDate,endDate,repeatType,repeatCount,daysOfWeek,dayInMonth

Examples:

MaintenanceWindow,MaintenanceSchedule1,2025-04-15 9:00:00,2026-04-30 16:00:00,daily,1,,
MaintenanceWindow,MaintenanceSchedule2,2025-04-15 9:00:00,2026-04-30 16:00:00,weekly,1,"['MONDAY','TUESDAY']",,
MaintenanceWindow,MaintenanceSchedule3,2025-04-15 9:00:00,2026-04-30 16:00:00,monthly,1,,20
MaintenanceWindow,MaintenanceSchedule4,2025-01-15 9:00:00,2026-04-30 16:00:00,oneShot,,,
MaintenanceWindow,MaintenanceSchedule5,2025-04-15 9:00:00,2026-04-30 16:00:00,allTime,,,

6. For delete_mw / delete_schedules create a CSV file 

maintenanceWindowName
24/7
test

7. Create API key, refer to Granting API Permission URL for more details.
