Scheduling a Report

The following steps will let you automatically schedule a report.

  1. On the Web Console - navigate to the reports page
  2. Click on the name of the report you want to schedule
  3. Click the "Edit" button at the top-right
  4. The "Schedule" input box will contain the scheduling definition using a simplified version of the Cron scheduling format:
    You can input the Cron scheduling expression manually or use the wizard.
  5. To Use the Wizard, click on the three dots button
    The first window will ask for the time of day - e.g. run every 5 minutes or 10 hours at minute 30, or a specific time of day - e.g. 14:00.
    The second window will ask for the day of week or month - e.g. run every day, every Sunday, or each 5th day of the month.
  6. If you need a more sophisticated expression, enter the schedule expression manually in the input field, instead of using the wizard:
    1. The format is "Second Minute Hour Day Month Weekday Year"
    2. Separate values with one blank space
    3. Valid values are:
      1. Second: 0-59
      2. Minute: 0-59
      3. Hour: 0-23
      4. Day: 1-31
      5. Month: 1-12
      6. Weekday: 0-6 (where 0 is Sunday, and 6 is Saturday)
      7. Year: 1000-9999
    4. Multiple values may be specified using the following formats:

      1. * : every value (e.g. every second, every minute etc.)

      2. */i : interval of i units (e.g. every 5 minutes, every 4 hours)

      3. s/i : interval of i units starting value s (e.g. every 2 hours starting 14 hours)
      4. x,y,z : list of values (e.g. on hours 11,13,15)

    5. Examples:

      1. 0 30 7 1 * * *   = run at 07:30:00, 1st day of every month

      2. 0 30 7,8,9 * * 1 *   = run at 07:30:00, 08:30:00 and 09:30:00, every Monday

      3. 0 */5 * * * * *   = run every 5 minutes
      4. 0 0 0 * 5 * *   = run at midnight, every day in May

      5. 0 0 * 1 1 * 2017  = run every hour, on January 1st, 2017

      6. 0 55/1 * * * * *   = run on minutes 55, 56, 57, 58, 59 of every hour
    6. When you have entered a schedule value, move to another input field (e.g. press tab), and a message with human readable description of the scheduling will be displayed underneath the input box
