For implementing cognitive feature based code level updates, an apparatus is disclosed. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a detection module that detects components operating at a client site, collects information associated with the detected components, and identifies defects in the detected components based on the collected information. The apparatus includes a network module that transfers the collected information to a host apparatus and receives a flash issuance from the host apparatus based on the collected information transferred to the host apparatus. The apparatus includes a repair module that retrieves a fix list from the flash issuance received from the host apparatus and implements the fix list for the detected components when defects are identified in the detected components.
