Create automated tasks to install missing critical and other security updates at specific times.
For installing missing critical security updates, for example, every day and other security updates, for example, once a week, you need to create two automated tasks in the profile editor.
- Select Profiles on the sidebar.
- On the Profiles page, select a profile for which you want to create an automated task.
- Open Automated tasks, and make sure it is on.
- To create a task for installing critical security updates every day, select Add task above the Automated tasks table, and do the following:
- From the Type drop-down menu, select Install critical security updates.
- From the Schedule drop-down menu, select @daily.
Note: In the Description field, you can add a description for the new task (optional).
- To create a task for installing other security updates once a week, select Add task and do the following:
- From the Type drop-down menu, select Install all security updates.
- From the Schedule drop-down menu, select @weekly.
After you created these two automated tasks, the product installs critical security updates every day at a random time and other security updates on a specific day at a random time.
Note: Randomization is used to reduce the network load.
