Configuring the UpdateService
The Groups column displays all groups managed by the UpdateService alphabetically. The default group contains all UpdateAgents (clients) not assigned to a group.
Clients in the default group are updated automatically. Clients that should not receive updates or patches have to be located in a separate group (see Configuring a group).
- Click on a group folder icon to display the status overview of all clients within the group. Am
colored bullet point shows the current status of each client:
- Red: An error occurred at the client or the UpdateAgent of the client is offline for more than 3 minutes.
- Yellow: UpdateAgent is currently busy (patching, downloading, etc.) or waiting for an event triggered by the UpdateService (e.g. manual distribution of patches).
- Green: The client's UpdateAgent is up-to-date.
- Click on a client name to display the installed components (e.g. the system software, the software
version, the status, and the installed patches).
- Click Refresh list to see a more current status.
- Click Configure group to create, rename or delete
a group and specify the group's update and patch settings (see Configuring a group).
- Click Delete clients to remove clients that do not connect to the UpdateService anymore. The clients will not be deleted axiomatically.
Manually starting the update or patch process
If a group is configured to be updated or patched manually, Start patch/update at the UpdateAgents is displayed in the group's status pane.
- Click Start patch/update at the UpdateAgent to start the update.
It will require up to 60 seconds before the update process is started.
