Requirements¶

Used to specify prerequisites for a Playbook, requirements allow developers to ensure that the necessary conditions are met before their Playbook is run.

Requirements are specified in your playbook.conf, as an array of requirements.

<Requirements>
    <Requirement>Internet</Requirement>
    <Requirement>NoPendingUpdates</Requirement>
    <Requirement>DefenderToggled</Requirement>
    <Requirement>NoAntivirus</Requirement>
</Requirements>
