get-patch-baseline¶

Description¶

Retrieves information about a patch baseline.

Synopsis¶

  get-patch-baseline
--baseline-id <value>
[--cli-input-json <value>]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]
[--debug]
[--endpoint-url <value>]
[--no-verify-ssl]
[--no-paginate]
[--output <value>]
[--query <value>]
[--profile <value>]
[--region <value>]
[--version <value>]
[--color <value>]
[--no-sign-request]
[--ca-bundle <value>]
[--cli-read-timeout <value>]
[--cli-connect-timeout <value>]

Options¶

--baseline-id (string)

The ID of the patch baseline to retrieve.

Note
To retrieve information about an Amazon Web Services managed patch baseline, specify the full Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the baseline. For example, for the baseline AWS-AmazonLinuxDefaultPatchBaseline , specify arn:aws:ssm:us-east-2:733109147000:patchbaseline/pb-0e392de35e7c563b7 instead of pb-0e392de35e7c563b7 .

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To display a patch baseline

The following get-patch-baseline example retrieves the details for the specified patch baseline.

Output¶

BaselineId -> (string)

The ID of the retrieved patch baseline.

Name -> (string)

The name of the patch baseline.

OperatingSystem -> (string)

Returns the operating system specified for the patch baseline.

GlobalFilters -> (structure)

A set of global filters used to exclude patches from the baseline.

PatchFilters -> (list)

The set of patch filters that make up the group.

(structure)

Defines which patches should be included in a patch baseline.

A patch filter consists of a key and a set of values. The filter key is a patch property. For example, the available filter keys for WINDOWS are PATCH_SET , PRODUCT , PRODUCT_FAMILY , CLASSIFICATION , and MSRC_SEVERITY .

The filter values define a matching criterion for the patch property indicated by the key. For example, if the filter key is PRODUCT and the filter values are ["Office 2013", "Office 2016"] , then the filter accepts all patches where product name is either "Office 2013" or "Office 2016". The filter values can be exact values for the patch property given as a key, or a wildcard (*), which matches all values.

You can view lists of valid values for the patch properties by running the DescribePatchProperties command. For information about which patch properties can be used with each major operating system, see DescribePatchProperties .

Key -> (string)

The key for the filter.

Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid keys for each operating system type.

Values -> (list)

The value for the filter key.

Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid values for each key based on operating system type.

(string)

ApprovalRules -> (structure)

PatchRules -> (list)

The rules that make up the rule group.

(structure)

Defines an approval rule for a patch baseline.

PatchFilterGroup -> (structure)

(string)

ComplianceLevel -> (string)

A compliance severity level for all approved patches in a patch baseline.

ApproveAfterDays -> (integer)

The number of days after the release date of each patch matched by the rule that the patch is marked as approved in the patch baseline. For example, a value of 7 means that patches are approved seven days after they are released.

This parameter is marked as Required: No , but your request must include a value for either ApproveAfterDays or ApproveUntilDate .

Not supported for Debian Server or Ubuntu Server.

Warning
Use caution when setting this value for Windows Server patch baselines. Because patch updates that are replaced by later updates are removed, setting too broad a value for this parameter can result in crucial patches not being installed. For more information, see the Windows Server tab in the topic How security patches are selected in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

ApproveUntilDate -> (string)

The cutoff date for auto approval of released patches. Any patches released on or before this date are installed automatically.

Enter dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD . For example, 2024-12-31 .

This parameter is marked as Required: No , but your request must include a value for either ApproveUntilDate or ApproveAfterDays .

Not supported for Debian Server or Ubuntu Server.

Warning
Use caution when setting this value for Windows Server patch baselines. Because patch updates that are replaced by later updates are removed, setting too broad a value for this parameter can result in crucial patches not being installed. For more information, see the Windows Server tab in the topic How security patches are selected in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide .

EnableNonSecurity -> (boolean)

For managed nodes identified by the approval rule filters, enables a patch baseline to apply non-security updates available in the specified repository. The default value is false . Applies to Linux managed nodes only.

ApprovedPatches -> (list)

A list of explicitly approved patches for the baseline.

(string)

ApprovedPatchesComplianceLevel -> (string)

RejectedPatches -> (list)

A list of explicitly rejected patches for the baseline.

(string)

CreatedDate -> (timestamp)

The date the patch baseline was created.

ModifiedDate -> (timestamp)

The date the patch baseline was last modified.

Sources -> (list)

Information about the patches to use to update the managed nodes, including target operating systems and source repositories. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.

(structure)

Information about the patches to use to update the managed nodes, including target operating systems and source repository. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.

Name -> (string)

The name specified to identify the patch source.

Products -> (list)

The specific operating system versions a patch repository applies to, such as "Ubuntu16.04", "AmazonLinux2016.09", "RedhatEnterpriseLinux7.2" or "Suse12.7". For lists of supported product values, see PatchFilter .
