Scheduled tasks

The Settings → Scheduled tasks tab.

Scheduled tasks automatically run recurring operations on the platform.

Task types

• Application tasks: target an application within a namespace — restart, start, stop an application, take a snapshot with retention, queue a Hop job…
• System tasks: platform maintenance (database cleanup, application reconciliation…), restricted to administrators.

Creating a task

New task → name, task to run (chosen from the catalog), target (application/namespace for an application task), and schedule:

• Interval: every n seconds/minutes/hours/days;
• Cron: minute, hour, day of month, month, day of week, with a timezone.

A task can be disabled without being deleted, and run now (dedicated button) regardless of its schedule.

Monitoring

Each task shows its last run and its total run count; its history lists past runs with their status and result, filterable by status.

Common example

A daily snapshot of a critical application's volume: an Application snapshot (with retention) task, cron schedule 0 2 * * *, retention of 7 snapshots.
