Patch templates (UNIX)

Module: OS Patches

This option lets you enable or disable template files that are used by the OS Patches module to check agent systems. The module uses only the enabled template files that match the agent's operating system. For example, on an agent running HP-UX, only enabled HP-UX templates are used.

The following table lists the error messages for the check.
