Tried with the below PowerShell commands on the same Centos 7.3 version of VM following the below link https://github.com/Azure/azure-linux-extensions/tree/master/OSPatching

Extension gets successfully installed and after the specified time it shows the "Patching succeeded" in the portal but there were no patches applied nor the machine got rebooted.

Please suggest

$RGName = '' $VmName = '' $Location = ''

$ExtensionName = 'OSPatchingForLinux' $Publisher = 'Microsoft.OSTCExtensions' $Version = '2.0'

$PublicConf = ConvertTo-Json -InputObject @{ "disabled" = $false; "stop" = $false; "rebootAfterPatch" = "Auto"; "category" = "ImportantAndRecommended"; "installDuration" = "01:00"; "oneoff" = $false; "intervalOfWeeks" = "1";

"dayOfWeek" = "Thursday";
"startTime" = "11:05";
"vmStatusTest" = (@{
    "local" = $false;
    "idleTestScript" = "<Path to Idle script>";
    "healthyTestScript" = "<Path to healthy Script>";
})

}

Optional

If you use azure storage, you have to offer the key

$PrivateConf = ConvertTo-Json -InputObject @{ "storageAccountName" = ""; "storageAccountKey" = "" }

Set-AzureRmVMExtension -ResourceGroupName $RGName -VMName $VmName -Location $Location -Name $ExtensionName -Publisher $Publisher -ExtensionType $ExtensionName -TypeHandlerVersion $Version -Settingstring $PublicConf -ProtectedSettingString $PrivateConf

Tested for the Ubuntu 16 version of VM "oneoff " patching works as expected but schedules patches does not

Though the Linux machines has some packages to update but after configuring the scheduled patching the messages shows "No packages are available for update".
