Patch Management

Automated patch management for Windows, Linux and third-party apps.

Group servers with tags, schedule patch windows in your time zone, and let Xentrio install, reboot only when needed, re-scan and report — while alerts stay quiet during maintenance. All in the same platform as your monitoring and tickets.

How It Works

Patch night, without the late night.

Set it up once and Xentrio runs every patch window for you, then tells you exactly what was installed and what still needs attention.

Step 1

Tag your servers

Group servers by site, role or client with tags, so each group can be patched on its own schedule.

Step 2

Schedule the window

Pick a time and time zone, one-time or recurring, the update categories to install, and whether servers may reboot.

Step 3

Review the report

After the window, Xentrio re-scans every server and emails a report with per-server results and anything still pending.

Capabilities

Control over every update, without doing it by hand.

Patching runs through the same agents, Relay and audit trail as the rest of Xentrio, so every install is tied to the server, the schedule and the person who set it up.

🏷️

Tag-based patch groups

Put servers into groups with tags and patch each group on demand or on its own recurring schedule.

🕒

Time-zone-aware schedules

Every schedule runs in the time zone you choose, so patch windows land after hours for each site.

🎯

Choose what gets installed

Limit a window to Security, Critical, Important, Rollup or Definition updates — or install everything pending.

🔁

Reboots only when needed

Optionally restart servers after patching, and only when an update actually requires it.

🔕

Quiet maintenance windows

Servers being patched are put in maintenance mode, so planned reboots don’t trigger offline alerts.

📧

Post-patch scans and reports

Emails when a window starts and finishes, with per-server results and a “still pending” column from a fresh scan.

📦

Third-party app updates

See the apps installed on your servers and turn on auto-update to keep them on the latest version, with installers cached at each site’s Relay.

🧰

Per-server control

Pending updates with KB links, severity and classification; install selected updates, everything, or by category, with a full install history.

Patch With Risk in Mind

Know what’s exposed, then prove it’s fixed.

CVE-aware patching

Fix the vulnerabilities that matter first

Pending patches show which CVEs they resolve, and every server gets a risk score that improves as patches are installed.

  • Patches linked to the CVEs they fix

For MSPs and IT Teams

One patch process for every server you manage.

For MSPs

Patch every client on their schedule

Each customer is a fully isolated tenant with its own tags, schedules and reports, while your team manages every patch window from one console.

  • Per-client patch groups and maintenance windows
  • Patch reports emailed to clients automatically
  • Patching alongside RMM, ITSM and security
For IT teams

Fewer patch nights, clearer proof

Windows and Linux servers, plus Windows 10 and 11 workstations, kept current from one platform, with reports ready when auditors ask.

  • Compliance history you can export anytime
FAQ

Patch management questions.

What is patch management?

Patch management is the process of finding, testing and installing updates for operating systems and applications, so known bugs and security vulnerabilities are fixed before they cause problems. Xentrio automates it with scheduled patch windows, reports and compliance tracking, in the same platform as monitoring and ticketing.

Which systems can Xentrio patch?

Windows and Linux servers through the Xentrio Agent, third-party applications installed on your servers, and Windows 10 and 11 workstations through the Workstation Agent, with Windows Update policy and patch compliance reporting.

Can I control which updates get installed?

Yes. Each patch window can be limited to Security, Critical, Important, Rollup or Definition updates. If you select none, every pending update is installed. You can also install selected updates on an individual server.

Will servers reboot automatically?

Only if you choose to. When reboots are enabled for a schedule, a server restarts shortly after patching, and only if an installed update actually requires it.

How does Xentrio handle third-party applications?

The Xentrio Agent reports the apps installed on each server. Apps in the Xentrio catalog can be set to auto-update, so Xentrio installs new versions as they are released, using installers cached at each site’s Relay.

Will patching cause false alerts?

No. Servers in a patch window are placed in maintenance mode, so planned reboots do not trigger offline alerts.

How do I prove patch compliance?

The compliance dashboard shows the status of the whole fleet and its trend over time, and can be exported to CSV or PDF. Every patch window also emails a completion report with per-server results.
