Outside of these updates, N-able N-central uses cached patch data to refresh the Patch Status service quickly, such as when using the Scan Now feature.įull detection typically takes 10-20 minutes to complete.
after every Detection/Installation Maintenance Window event,įull detection (Windows Update Agent scan) runs only during Detection/Installation Maintenance Window. The Patch Status service v2 updates its status: Unlike other N-able N-central services, the Patch Status service v2 does not run at regular time intervals rather, it is event-based. You can use the service and not use Patch Management and visa-versa. The Patch Status service is not connected to Patch Management. If this occurs, Patch Status v2 starts tracking this update as Pending Installation and eventually as Missing Patch. However, it is possible to approve superseded update for installation. Patch Status v2 does not report superseded, or not-yet-approved, updates as new patches. It also alerts you as to what patches have been missing for a specified amount of time since the release of an update. This new service will no longer report a Failed state when a patch has been detected but has not yet completed its install and reboot cycle.
The Patch Status service v2 monitors scheduled Maintenance Windows to assist in determining missing patches. Devices using older agents will continue to report to the Patch Status service. Agents will go forward using the Patch Status V2 service. Patch Status v2 is a service that reports on the status of patching using information from maintenance windows.Īs of N-able N-central version 12.1, agents that are upgraded to the current version will no longer report into, or have available the Patch Status service, an earlier iteration of the service.
