Patch Instance Details Summary report

The Patch Instance Details Summary report provides instance details gathered for instances that are onboarded to reporting. This is an informational report that helps identify all the instances onboarded, account status, instance details, maintenance window coverage, maintenance window execution time, stack details, and platform type. This report provides the following:

  1. Data on the production and non-production instances of an account. Note: Production and non-production stage is derived from the Account Name and not from the Instance Tags.

  2. Data on the distribution of instances by platform type. Note: 'N/A' platform type is when AWS Systems Manager can't retrieve the platform information.

  3. Data on the distribution of state of instances, and the number of instances running, stopped, or terminating.
