This expression( 30/5 2-4 * * * ) I found to schedule alert from 2:30 Am to 4 AM which runs in every 5 minute

https://crontab.guru/#30/5_2-4_*_*_*

But this is not working in the Splunk cloud and getting  below error

I have already provided the solution in different question.

you are looking to schedule for 5 minutes in one complete hour and only 30 minutes in the second hour.

so I gave you two cron jobs.

Yeah that's the reason I'm not able to use.

Do you have any alternate solution?
