The patch management feature predefines a default patch baseline for each operating system. If you want to configure custom rules to scan and install patches for an operating system, you can create a patch baseline to specify the operating system type, patch categories, patch severities, and conditions for automatic approval. After you create the patch baseline, you can specify the patch baseline as the default patch baseline for the operating system to apply the custom rules.
