Overview

It's possible to pre-define schedules for Monitor Runs. The setting is available in the Monitor Wizard during the Monitor creation process and can be revisited anytime.

How to

Predefined frequencies

If you use @hourly, @daily, @weekly, @monthly, the monitors will respond to the respective cron expression :

• @hourly - "At minute 0" each hour
• @daily - "At 00:00" each day
• @weekly - “At 00:00 on day-of-week 1”
• @monthly - “At 00:00 on day-of-month 1”

Cron expressions

If you need more flexibility on when your monitors should run - for example, scheduling your monitors to run on a specific hour or weekdays only - you can create a new schedule with Cron Expressions.

📘

Time reference

The time reference is on UTC.
So a monitor set up with a cron "0 9 * * *" will mean it will run every day at 9 am UTC time.

Use Cases

• @hourly - perfect for monitors controlling the number of transactions evolution during the day
• @daily - useful for monitoring a sum of sales during the day
• @weekly, @monthly - these run frequencies are especially useful for logistics and supply chain scenarios
