Parameters:

OperatingSystem (string) – Defines the operating system the patch baseline applies to. The default value is WINDOWS.
Name (string) –
[REQUIRED]

The name of the patch baseline.
GlobalFilters (dict) –
A set of global filters used to include patches in the baseline.
- PatchFilters (list) – [REQUIRED]
  
  The set of patch filters that make up the group.
  - (dict) –
    
    Defines which patches should be included in a patch baseline.
    
    A patch filter consists of a key and a set of values. The filter key is a patch property. For example, the available filter keys for WINDOWS are PATCH_SET, PRODUCT, PRODUCT_FAMILY, CLASSIFICATION, and MSRC_SEVERITY.
    
    The filter values define a matching criterion for the patch property indicated by the key. For example, if the filter key is PRODUCT and the filter values are ["Office 2013", "Office 2016"], then the filter accepts all patches where product name is either “Office 2013” or “Office 2016”. The filter values can be exact values for the patch property given as a key, or a wildcard (*), which matches all values.
    
    You can view lists of valid values for the patch properties by running the DescribePatchProperties command. For information about which patch properties can be used with each major operating system, see DescribePatchProperties.
    - Key (string) – [REQUIRED]

      Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid keys for each operating system type.
    - Values (list) – [REQUIRED]
      
      The value for the filter key.
      
      Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid values for each key based on operating system type.
      - (string) –
ApprovalRules (dict) –
A set of rules used to include patches in the baseline.
- PatchRules (list) – [REQUIRED]
  
  The rules that make up the rule group.
  - (dict) –
    
    Defines an approval rule for a patch baseline.
    - PatchFilterGroup (dict) – [REQUIRED]
      
      The patch filter group that defines the criteria for the rule.
      - PatchFilters (list) – [REQUIRED]
        
        The set of patch filters that make up the group.
        
        (dict) –

        Key (string) – [REQUIRED]
        
        The key for the filter.
        
        Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid keys for each operating system type.
        
        Values (list) – [REQUIRED]
        
        The value for the filter key.
        
        Run the DescribePatchProperties command to view lists of valid values for each key based on operating system type.
        
        (string) –
    - ComplianceLevel (string) –
      
      A compliance severity level for all approved patches in a patch baseline.
    - ApproveAfterDays (integer) –
      
      The number of days after the release date of each patch matched by the rule that the patch is marked as approved in the patch baseline. For example, a value of 7 means that patches are approved seven days after they are released. Not supported on Debian Server or Ubuntu Server.
    - ApproveUntilDate (string) –
      
      The cutoff date for auto approval of released patches. Any patches released on or before this date are installed automatically. Not supported on Debian Server or Ubuntu Server.
      
      Enter dates in the format YYYY-MM-DD. For example, 2021-12-31.
    - EnableNonSecurity (boolean) –
      
      For managed nodes identified by the approval rule filters, enables a patch baseline to apply non-security updates available in the specified repository. The default value is false. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.
ApprovedPatches (list) –
A list of explicitly approved patches for the baseline.

For information about accepted formats for lists of approved patches and rejected patches, see About package name formats for approved and rejected patch lists in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.
- (string) –
ApprovedPatchesComplianceLevel (string) – Defines the compliance level for approved patches. When an approved patch is reported as missing, this value describes the severity of the compliance violation. The default value is UNSPECIFIED.
ApprovedPatchesEnableNonSecurity (boolean) – Indicates whether the list of approved patches includes non-security updates that should be applied to the managed nodes. The default value is false. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.
RejectedPatches (list) –
A list of explicitly rejected patches for the baseline.

For information about accepted formats for lists of approved patches and rejected patches, see About package name formats for approved and rejected patch lists in the Amazon Web Services Systems Manager User Guide.
- (string) –
RejectedPatchesAction (string) –
The action for Patch Manager to take on patches included in the RejectedPackages list.
- ALLOW_AS_DEPENDENCY : A package in the Rejected patches list is installed only if it is a dependency of another package. It is considered compliant with the patch baseline, and its status is reported as InstalledOther. This is the default action if no option is specified.
- BLOCK: Packages in the Rejected patches list, and packages that include them as dependencies, aren’t installed by Patch Manager under any circumstances. If a package was installed before it was added to the Rejected patches list, or is installed outside of Patch Manager afterward, it’s considered noncompliant with the patch baseline and its status is reported as InstalledRejected.
Description (string) – A description of the patch baseline.
Sources (list) –
Information about the patches to use to update the managed nodes, including target operating systems and source repositories. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.
- (dict) –
  
  Information about the patches to use to update the managed nodes, including target operating systems and source repository. Applies to Linux managed nodes only.
  - Name (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The name specified to identify the patch source.
  - Products (list) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The specific operating system versions a patch repository applies to, such as “Ubuntu16.04”, “AmazonLinux2016.09”, “RedhatEnterpriseLinux7.2” or “Suse12.7”. For lists of supported product values, see PatchFilter.
    - (string) –
  - Configuration (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The value of the yum repo configuration. For example:

    enabled=1
    
    Note
    For information about other options available for your yum repository configuration, see dnf.conf(5).
ClientToken (string) –
User-provided idempotency token.

This field is autopopulated if not provided.
Tags (list) –
Optional metadata that you assign to a resource. Tags enable you to categorize a resource in different ways, such as by purpose, owner, or environment. For example, you might want to tag a patch baseline to identify the severity level of patches it specifies and the operating system family it applies to. In this case, you could specify the following key-value pairs:
- Key=PatchSeverity,Value=Critical
- Key=OS,Value=Windows
Note
To add tags to an existing patch baseline, use the AddTagsToResource operation.
- (dict) –
  
  Metadata that you assign to your Amazon Web Services resources. Tags enable you to categorize your resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. In Amazon Web Services Systems Manager, you can apply tags to Systems Manager documents (SSM documents), managed nodes, maintenance windows, parameters, patch baselines, OpsItems, and OpsMetadata.
  - Key (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The name of the tag.
  - Value (string) – [REQUIRED]
    
    The value of the tag.
