-
A list of explicitly approved patches for the baseline.
For information about accepted formats for lists of approved patches and rejected patches, see About package name formats for approved and rejected patch lists in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.

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
Valid Values:
CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW | INFORMATIONAL | UNSPECIFIED
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.
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
Valid Values:
WINDOWS | AMAZON_LINUX | AMAZON_LINUX_2 | AMAZON_LINUX_2022 | UBUNTU | REDHAT_ENTERPRISE_LINUX | SUSE | CENTOS | ORACLE_LINUX | DEBIAN | MACOS | RASPBIAN | ROCKY_LINUX | ALMA_LINUX | AMAZON_LINUX_2023
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 About 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
-
