Integrations

• Patch source. Bring release IDs, products, versions, severity and release dates from the source your team trusts, then review catalog identity before use.
• Asset inventory. Align asset tags and service ownership with the inventory source used by the operations team.
• Event provider. If the team connects an event source, agree how provider, external event ID, received time and receipt outcome will be recorded.
• Installation tooling. If a deployment tool supplies execution results, map each result to the correct asset and patch attempt and review exceptions.

Assign an owner to each source and agree which identifiers are stable. Review each recorded receipt against its source before relying on its outcome. Keep rejected and failed receipts visible for investigation, and reconcile installed results against patch attempts. Plan setup with the service owner and operator.
