I have the query to extract the admin users list from REST api which is currently triggered at 28th of every month considering Feb month. <BR /> Please help to write a cron for last day every month. If cron is not there (as I saw in many questions) please let me know what else can I write in my query to get the requirement complete.</P> Thu, 30 Jan 2020 07:29:39 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/How-to-write-cron-to-schedule-for-an-alert-to-trigger-during/m-p/498965#M8879 gndivya 2020-01-30T07:29:39Z Re: How to write cron to schedule for an alert to trigger during last day of the month? https://community.splunk.com/t5/Alerting/How-to-write-cron-to-schedule-for-an-alert-to-trigger-during/m-p/498966#M8880 <P>Crontab:</P> <PRE><CODE>1: Minute (0-59) 2: Hours (0-23) 3: Day (0-31) 4: Month (0-12 [12 == December]) 5: Day of the week(0-7 [7 or 0 == sunday]) /path/to/command – Script or command name to schedule </CODE></PRE> <P>I see.
