Patch compliance levels

Patch compliance levels define your patch compliance rules. Results of a patch compliance scan can include only policies, both policies and exceptions, or your own customized level.

Ubuntu Patch Management supports the following compliance levels:

  • Policy Only: Verifies whether the patches installed on a server comply with the patch policies.
  • Policy and Exception: Verifies whether the patches installed on a server comply with the patch policies and any exceptions. The Partial icon is displayed if the policy and exception do not agree and the exception does not have data in the Reason field.
  • Customized: Verifies the rules that you edited for this compliance level.
