Block Updates
Prevent a device from receiving software updates.
There may be times when you want a device to keep its present configuration and not receive software updates. JFrog Connect provides a way to block updates to a specific device while you continue with updates to other devices. This enables you, for example, to send a software update to a whole group without having to create a complicated filter that would avoid updating a certain device. You just turn on Block Updates for a specific device, and it will not download the updates that the rest of the group is receiving.
Set Block Updates Flag
The Block Updates flag acts like a "Do Not Disturb" sign on a door. You use a simple toggle switch to block updates to a device. ON blocks updates to the device, and OFF, the default state, allows updates.
To block updates to the device, do the following:
Go to Devices in the left sidebar and click a device in the table. The Device Details panel appears on the right with the Device Details tab in view.
Go to the System Configuration sub-panel and click the Edit icon (pencil).
Click the Block Updates toggle so that it is ON, and Save.
