Schedule a patch compliance scan

To schedule a patch compliance scan on all Windows managed servers:

  1. In the navigation pane, select Administration >Compliance Settings.
  2. In the Compliance Settings content pane, in the Patch Compliance Schedule section, click Edit Settings.
  3. In the Schedule Compliance Scan window, select Enable Compliance Scan.
  4. From the Schedule drop-down list, select the frequency of the scans.

    If you select Custom, specify the crontab string with the following values:

    • Minute (0-59)
    • Hour (0-23)
    • Day of the month (1-31)
    • Month of the year (1-12)
    • Day of the week (0-6 with 0=Sunday)
    • Any of these fields can contain an asterisk to indicate all possible values. For example, the following crontab string runs the job at midnight every weekday:

      0 0 * * 1-5

      The crontab string can also handle serial (1,2,3,4) as well as range (1-5) values. For more information, consult the crontab man pages on a Unix computer.

  1. In the Start Time field, specify the time you want the job to begin.
  2. From the Time Zone drop-down list, select a default time zone for the job execution time or accept the default time zone. The default time shown converts the scheduled time to the time zone set in your user preferences. If you do not set a preferred time zone, the time zone is derived from the HPE Server Automation core server, which is typically UTC.

  3. Click OK to save your settings.
