Add a Smart Label for new patches

Using Smart Labels for patching

Add a Smart Label for critical OS patches
Add a Smart Label for new patches

You can use Smart Labels to automatically group patches and devices. You can also label patches and devices manually, but Smart Labels are usually more efficient because they are applied and removed automatically.

For example, you can create a Smart Label that matches all Windows 7 patches. Each time one of these patches becomes available to the appliance, the label is applied to the patch. If you set up a patching schedule to automatically detect and deploy devices with this label, the patch is automatically deployed to Windows 7 machines in inventory.

You can create a labeling scheme that organizes patches by operating system and importance, such as P (Patch) Operating System Importance. For example:

•
P Win7
•
P Win7 Critical
•
P Win7 Important
•
P MS Office
•
P Leopard
•
P Mac10.8 Critical Test

Similarly, you create device Smart Labels to specify the devices (D), on which you want to install patches:

•
D All Desktops
•
D All Servers
•
D All Laptops

The appliance evaluates the information provided by the Agents when they check in, and it applies device Smart Labels if the data matches the label criteria.

Patch Smart Labels are immediately applied to existing patches that meet the criteria. The label is added to new patches that meet the criteria when they are downloaded.

Add a Smart Label for critical OS patches

You can create a Smart Label to identify critical OS (operating system) patches.

1.
Go to the Patch Catalog list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Security, then click Patch Management.
c.
On the Patch Management panel, click Catalog.
2.
Click the Smart Label tab above the list on the right.
The Smart Label panel appears.

The image displays the Smart Label panel with search criteria entered.

3.
Specify Smart Label criteria:
a.
Specify criteria that identify active patches:
Patch Listing Information: Status | is | Active
b.
Click Add Line, then specify criteria that identify critical patches:
AND | Patch Listing Information: Severity | is | Critical
c.
Click Add Line, then specify criteria that identify Windows patches:
AND | Patch Listing Information: Operating System | is | Windows
d.
Click Add Line, then specify criteria that identify operating system patches:
AND | Patch Listing Information: Category | is | OS
4.
Click Test to display items that match the search criteria.
5.
Adjust the criteria as needed until the results are what you expect.
6.
In the Choose label drop-down list, do one of the following:
◦
Select an existing label to associate with the Smart Label. Type in the Choose label field to search for existing labels.
* 
NOTE: If you select a label group instead of a label, you will not be able to apply the Smart Label to a patching schedule. Patching schedules can only use Smart Labels based on a single item.
◦
Enter a new name for the Smart Label in the Choose label field, then press Enter or Return.
* 
NOTE: Press Enter or Return after you enter a new Smart Label name to move the text from the search field to the label field.
7.
Click Save.

The Smart Label is applied to existing patches that meet the criteria. The label is added to new patches that meet the criteria when they are downloaded.

b.
Click Add Line, then specify criteria that identify non-critical patches:
AND | Patch Listing Information: Impact | is not | Critical
c.
Click Add Line, then specify criteria that identify active patches:
AND | Patch Listing Information: Status | is | Active
4.
Click Test.
All non-critical patches added after the specified date are displayed.
