XpoLog help - Scheduling 

XpoLog's scheduling mechanism allows for the automatic execution of tasks within given time intervals or at given times. XpoLog supports two types of tasks (jobs): Monitoring Jobs and Operation Jobs. Monitoring jobs are jobs based on the result of a monitor run: upon success or failure of such runs actions defined in the monitor will take place. Operation jobs are based simply on actions (like archiving logs and sending logs and data for investigation. see 'Tasks' help for more information).

Scheduling

There are two manners by which scheduled operations (both monitor and operation jobs) can be defined. For both scheduling manners start and end times can be defined.
Intervals: execute the job at specific time intervals. Enter the number of hours or minutes to define the interval and select whether the operation should be run only a number of times or should be unlimited.
Scheduling: Select either the days of the weeks in which the execution should take place, or enter instead the days of the month and the desired months in which you want your job to run.
After defining the days at which your job should be executed you define the time of the desired executions. You can enter both a specific time (in the 'Activate on the given hour' section) for the (first) execution within each day and define hours interval and minutes interval, so that on the selected days the operation will be executed in the given hours intervals and within each hour in the given minutes interval, starting from the first execution time. For example, selecting in the scheduling section 'Every month' and 'Every day' and then defining to iterate every three hours and within each hour every 20 minutes, leaving the execution time as 0:00:00, will cause the job to be executed every day at 00:20, 00:40, 01:00, 03:00, 03:20 and so on.
 

Defining a Monitoring Job
From the 'Automation' menu select 'Scheduler'. Click the 'Add new Job' link and select 'Monitoring Job'. Enter a name and an optional description of the job you are creating and select a monitor from the combo box. Remember that the actual operations to take place are already defined in the monitor. Check the 'Activate root tasks' option to enable the events mechanism of the selected monitor. Check the 'Activate children tasks' option if you want also the tasks of the children monitors (in cases of multi monitors which are based on other monitors) to be executed.

Defining an Operation Job
From the 'Automation' menu select 'Scheduler'. Click the 'Add new Job' link and select 'Operation Job'. Enter a name and an optional description of the job you are creating and select a task from the combo box. Enter the scheduling information as in the section above and save the job definition.
