Overview

Create a new schedule for automated package upgrades.

Schedules define when and how often to automatically deploy package upgrades to a fleet of hosts. Each schedule includes:

  • A filter query to select target hosts
  • A recurrence rule defining maintenance windows
  • A version strategy (e.g., always latest, or N versions behind latest)

When the schedule triggers during a maintenance window, it automatically creates a deployment that upgrades the Datadog Agent to the specified version on all matching hosts.

This endpoint requires the agent_upgrade_write permission.
