interval

How often to run the command

By default, interval: 0s which means: once. Note that scheduled inputs set document markers. See full discussion

Type: duration

Example

action:

exec:
command: echo 'once a day'
interval: 1d

cron

How often to run the command. Note that Hotrod uses a different format than Cron it includes a column for seconds. See full discussion

Type: cron

Example: Once a day

action:

exec:
command: echo 'once a day'
cron: '0 0 0 * * *'

Example: Once a day, using a convenient shortcut

action:

exec:
command: echo 'once a day'
cron: '@daily'

immediate

Run as soon as invoked, instead of waiting for the specified cron interval

Type: bool

Example: Run immediately on invocation, and thereafter at 10h every morning

action:

exec:
command: echo 'hello'
immediate: true
cron: '0 0 10 * * *'

random-offset

Sets a random offset to the schedule, then sticks to it

This can help avoid the thundering herd problem, where you do not, for example, want to overload some service at 00:00:00

Type: duration

Example: Would fire up to a minute after every hour

action:

exec:
command: echo 'hello'
random-offset: 1m
cron: '0 0 * * * *'

window

For resources that need a time window to be specified

Type: Window

Field NameDescriptionTypeDefault
sizeWindow sizeduration-
offsetWindow offsetduration0s
start-timeAllows the windowing to start at a specified timetime-
highwatermark-fileSpecify file where timestamp would be stored in order to resume, for when Pipe has been restartedpath-

size

Window size

Type: duration

Example

action:

exec:

offset

Window offset

Type: duration

Example

action:

start-time

Allows the windowing to start at a specified time

It should in the following format: 2019-07-10 18:45:00.000 +0200

Type: time

Example

action:

exec:
command: echo 'one two'
window:
size: 1m
start-time: 10s

highwatermark-file

Specify file where timestamp would be stored in order to resume, for when Pipe has been restarted

Type: path

Example

action:

exec:
command: echo 'one two'
window:
size: 1m
highwatermark-file:: /tmp/mark.txt
