Configure Patch Deployment Settings
You can configure settings for the patch deployment jobs, such as the maximum number of assets that can be included in the patch deployment job and the percentage of completion that can be considered for job completion.
Go to Qualys Core > Configuration > General Settings to configure Patch job deployment.
- Percentage of completed items to consider Patch Deployment completed - If the percentage of assets where the patch job is deployed reaches the defined number, the patch job is considered completed.
- Maximum Number of Assets Per Job - Define the number of assets to be included in a single patch deployment job. For example, this field is set to 50. If there are 100 assets per change ticket, two patch jobs are created for 50 assets each to ensure that only specific number of assets are added to the patch jobs.
- Duration Past Start Date to Auto Complete - The time elapsed after the patch job has started. After the time defined in this field, the patch job is considered as stale and the state of the patch job changes to Completed - Stale.
The default settings are available in the Patch Deployment Configuration. However, you can modify the values by clicking Update.
