Request Parameters

For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

ApprovalRules

A set of rules used to include patches in the baseline.

Type: PatchRuleGroup object

Required: No

ApprovedPatches

A list of explicitly approved patches for the baseline.

For information about accepted formats for lists of approved patches and rejected patches, see Package name formats for approved and rejected patch lists in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.

Required: No

ApprovedPatchesComplianceLevel

Defines the compliance level for approved patches. When an approved patch is reported as missing, this value describes the severity of the compliance violation. The default value is UNSPECIFIED.

Type: String

Required: No

ApprovedPatchesEnableNonSecurity

Indicates whether the list of approved patches includes non-security updates that should be applied to the managed nodes. The default value is false. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

ClientToken

User-provided idempotency token.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 64.

Required: No

Description

A description of the patch baseline.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 1024.

Required: No

GlobalFilters

A set of global filters used to include patches in the baseline.

Important

The GlobalFilters parameter can be configured only by using the AWS CLI or an AWS SDK. It can't be configured from the Patch Manager console, and its value isn't displayed in the console.

Type: PatchFilterGroup object

Required: No

Name

The name of the patch baseline.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 3. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-.]{3,128}$

Required: Yes

OperatingSystem

Defines the operating system the patch baseline applies to. The default value is WINDOWS.

Type: String

Required: No

RejectedPatches

A list of explicitly rejected patches for the baseline.

For information about accepted formats for lists of approved patches and rejected patches, see Package name formats for approved and rejected patch lists in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.

Type: Array of strings

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 50 items.

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 100.

Required: No

RejectedPatchesAction

The action for Patch Manager to take on patches included in the RejectedPackages list.

ALLOW_AS_DEPENDENCY

Linux and macOS: A package in the rejected patches list is installed only if it is a dependency of another package. It is considered compliant with the patch baseline, and its status is reported as INSTALLED_OTHER. This is the default action if no option is specified.

Windows Server: Windows Server doesn't support the concept of package dependencies. If a package in the rejected patches list and already installed on the node, its status is reported as INSTALLED_OTHER. Any package not already installed on the node is skipped. This is the default action if no option is specified.

BLOCK

All OSs: Packages in the rejected patches list, and packages that include them as dependencies, aren't installed by Patch Manager under any circumstances. If a package was installed before it was added to the rejected patches list, or is installed outside of Patch Manager afterward, it's considered noncompliant with the patch baseline and its status is reported as INSTALLED_REJECTED.

Type: String

Valid Values: ALLOW_AS_DEPENDENCY | BLOCK

Required: No

Sources

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

Type: Array of PatchSource objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 20 items.

Required: No

Tags

Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag a patch baseline to identify the severity level of patches it specifies and the operating system family it applies to. In this case, you could specify the following key-value pairs:

Key=PatchSeverity,Value=Critical
Key=OS,Value=Windows

Note

To add tags to an existing patch baseline, use the AddTagsToResource operation.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Maximum number of 1000 items.

Required: No

Response Elements

If the action is successful, the service sends back an HTTP 200 response.

The following data is returned in JSON format by the service.

BaselineId

The ID of the created patch baseline.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 128.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-:/]{20,128}$

Errors

For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see Common Errors.

IdempotentParameterMismatch

Error returned when an idempotent operation is retried and the parameters don't match the original call to the API with the same idempotency token.

HTTP Status Code: 400

InternalServerError

An error occurred on the server side.

HTTP Status Code: 500

ResourceLimitExceededException

Error returned when the caller has exceeded the default resource quotas. For example, too many maintenance windows or patch baselines have been created.

For information about resource quotas in Systems Manager, see Systems Manager service quotas in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.

HTTP Status Code: 400
