Understanding the Cron Expression generator
In the Profiler > Configs > Detail page, a cron expression defines when the profiler schedule executes and visualizes the next execution dates of your profiling jobs.
The Unix cron expression uses the following typical format:
Each * in the cron represents a unique value.
Cron Expression: 0 18 * *
*
In this format the * characters represent the
following units:Minute hour day(month) month day(week)
For example, consider a cron with the following values:
CRON Expression: 30 10 15 5
*
This cron expression is scheduled to run the profiler job at:
“At 10:30 on 15th day-of-month in May.”Consider another example:
30 10 * 5 7
This cron expression is scheduled to run the profiler job at:
“At 10:30 on Sunday in May”. You can change the value of cron as and when it is required depending on how you want to schedule your profiler job.
