Scheduled¶

Robusta can run actions on a schedule. Schedules come in two forms:

Fixed delay¶

These triggers run with a fixed delay between each invocation. For example:

triggers:
- on_schedule:
    fixed_delay_repeat:
      repeat: 10             # number of times to run or -1 to run forever
      seconds_delay: 60      # seconds between each run

The trigger will fire for the first time 120 seconds after the playbook is first configured.

Dynamic delay¶

These triggers run with a different delay between each invocation. For example, the following will run 3 times with a delay of 150 seconds the first time, 160 the second, and 170 the third.

triggers:
- on_schedule:
    dynamic_delay_repeat:
      delay_periods: [150, 160, 170]

The first delay cannot be less than 120 seconds. If you define less, 120 seconds will be used instead.

Cron based¶

If you want to run a playbook on a cron schedule, you can use the following:

triggers:
- on_schedule:
    cron_schedule_repeat:
      cron_expression: "0 12 * * 1" # every Monday at 12:00

If the first run should be in less than 120 seconds, the trigger will fire 120 seconds after the playbook is first configured.
