describe-patch-group-state

Description

Returns high-level aggregated patch compliance state for a patch group.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-patch-group-state
--patch-group <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--patch-group (string)

The name of the patch group whose patch snapshot should be retrieved.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

    "InstancesWithInstalledPendingRebootPatches": 2,
    "InstancesWithNotApplicablePatches": 1,
    "InstancesWithMissingPatches": 0,
    "InstancesWithInstalledPatches": 10,
    "InstancesWithFailedPatches": 3,
    "InstancesWithInstalledOtherPatches": 2,
    "InstancesWithInstalledRejectedPatches": 2,
    "InstancesWithUnreportedNotApplicablePatches": 1
}

Output

Instances -> (integer)

The number of instances in the patch group.

InstancesWithInstalledPatches -> (integer)
