Recurring Maintenance
Set up automated recurring maintenance windows
Recurring maintenance windows allow you to automatically schedule repeated maintenance periods. This is ideal for regular system updates, backups, or any predictable maintenance that occurs on a schedule.
Recurrence Patterns
Daily
Run maintenance every day at the same time. Good for nightly backups or daily health checks.
Weekly
Run maintenance on specific days of the week. Common for weekend maintenance windows.
Monthly
Run maintenance on specific days of the month. Useful for monthly patching cycles.
Custom (Cron)
Use cron expressions for complex schedules.
# Every Sunday at 2:00 AM 0 2 * * 0 # First day of every month at midnight 0 0 1 * * # Every 6 hours 0 */6 * * *
