The Patch Management section helps you keep track of devices needing patches, and patch installations that have failed.
The Patch Success dial indicates the success rate of installed patches for the time frame you have chosen - either for the current calendar month or since patching was initiated.
You can drill down to the Device Report and the Patch Report pages to view details about devices needing patches, and failed patch installations. From these pages, you can then click Patch Now to remediate the issue.
Patch Now
If you try to use Patch Now and the Onsite Manager does not receive the command for thirty minutes, for example, if the Onsite Manager is not communicating, Patch Now is canceled.
When using Patch Now, if the Onside Manager cannot communicate with the device being patched on the first try, the Onsite Manager makes two more attempts over twenty minutes. If the third attempt fails, Patch Now is canceled.
