Ubuntu remediation process

The remediation process examines and applies an entire patch policy, including multiple policies, to the managed servers to which it is attached. A policy must be attached to a server or a group of servers before you can remediate the policy with that server or group.

Best Practice: Each time you review the latest Ubuntu package releases and subsequently update a patch policy by adding new packages to a policy, you should perform remediation. In these situations, a remediation process provides demand forecasting information. This allows you to determine how patch policy changes will impact servers to which this policy is attached.

If the remediation process discovers any applicable missing packages, these packages will be installed on the servers.

To help you manage remediation conditions, SA allows you to specify remediate options and pre and post actions, and set up ticket IDs and email notifications that alert you about the status of the remediate process. The Remediate wizard guides you through setting up these conditions.
