Managing patches
Use Puppet Enterprise to configure patching node groups to meet
your needs, view available operating system patches for your nodes in the console, and apply
patches using the pe_patch::patch_server task.
-
Configuring patch management
To enable patch management, create a node group for nodes you want to patch and add the node group to the PE Patch Management parent node group. -
Patching nodes
After configuring patch management, you can start applying patches to nodes. Thepatch_servertask enables simply applying patches, while thegroup_patchingplan performs health checks before and after patches are applied.
