Probe Schedule Examples

Many Data Collector policy configurations require a schedule. Native CRON expressions are supported for
fine-tuning a schedule. The format for the schedule follows the CRON standard:


* minutes	* hours	* day of month	* month	* day of week

Probe Schedule Allowed Values:
Field	Allowed Values
minutes	0-59 (0 is “on the hour”)
hours	0-23
day of month	1-31
month	1-12
day of week	0-6 (0 is Sunday)
Special Characters: A field may also be an asterisk (), which means the full range - i.e., “first” to “last”. However, a in the minutes position is not permitted, as this would excessively trigger the probe—every minute. A forward slash (/) can be used to specify intervals. Use a dash (-) to specify a range.


Probe Schedule Examples	Scheduled Run Time
0 14-15 * * 1	On the hour, every Monday, between 2 and 3pm Note: A zero in the minutes position denotes the beginning of the hour.
30 9-13 * * 1-5	9:30, 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, and 13:30, Monday through Friday.
0 /2 * *	To run the probe every 2 hours, put */2 in the hour position. This schedules the probe at 2am, 4am, 6am, 8am, 10am, 12pm, 2pm, and so on.
