get-default-patch-baseline¶

Description¶

Retrieves the default patch baseline. Amazon Web Services Systems Manager supports creating multiple default patch baselines. For example, you can create a default patch baseline for each operating system.

If you don’t specify an operating system value, the default patch baseline for Windows is returned.

Synopsis¶

  get-default-patch-baseline
[--operating-system <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--operating-system (string)

Returns the default patch baseline for the specified operating system.

Possible values:

WINDOWS

AMAZON_LINUX

AMAZON_LINUX_2

UBUNTU

REDHAT_ENTERPRISE_LINUX

SUSE

CENTOS

ORACLE_LINUX

DEBIAN

MACOS

RASPBIAN

ROCKY_LINUX

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To display the default Windows patch baseline

The following get-default-patch-baseline example retrieves details for the default patch baseline for Windows Server.

aws ssm get-default-patch-baseline

Output:

{
  "BaselineId": "pb-0713accee01612345",
  "OperatingSystem": "WINDOWS"
}

Example 2: To display the default patch baseline for Amazon Linux

The following get-default-patch-baseline example retrieves details for the default patch baseline for Amazon Linux.

aws ssm get-default-patch-baseline \
    --operating-system AMAZON_LINUX

Output:

{
    "BaselineId": "pb-047c6eb9c8fc12345",
    "OperatingSystem": "AMAZON_LINUX"
}

For more information, see About Predefined and Custom Patch Baselines <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/systems-manager/latest/userguide/sysman-patch-baselines.html>__ and Set an Existing Patch Baseline as the Default in the AWS Systems Manager User Guide.

Output¶
