Introduction
Patch ratings help administrators prioritize the patch update process. For example, OpsRamp uses the following severity rating levels:
- Critical impact
- Important impact
- Moderate impact
- Low impact
OpsRamp automatically approves a whitelisted patch and eliminates the effort of approving the same patch for different devices. After whitelisting a patch, the patch is ready for installation.
Important
Auto approval is available only for critical and security category patches.You can rate a patch from the Setup > Integration page. Using patch rating, provide the following rating:
- Whitelist
- Blacklist
