Patch Alert

Check any of these checkboxes to perform their corresponding actions when an alert condition is encountered.

• Create Alarm
• Create Ticket
• Run Script <agentprocedure> on <machineID>
• Email Recipients - Enter multiple addresses separated by commas.

  Note: This field may make use of tokens.

The system can trigger an alert for the following alert conditions for a selected machine ID:

• New patch is available
• Patch install fails
• Agent credential is invalid or missing

  Note: An agent credential is not required to install patches unless the machine’s File Source is configured as Pulled from file server using UNC path. If an agent credential is assigned, it will be validated as a local machine credential without regard to the File Source configuration. If this validation fails, the alert will be raised. If the machine’s File Source is configured as Pulled from file server using UNC path, a credential is required. If it is missing, the alert will be raised. If it is not missing, it will be validated as a local machine credential and as a network credential. If either of these validations fails, the alert will be raised.
