Hi,

You'll need two alerts for this, as both the minutes and hours are different.

You could use:

30 2 * * * for 02:30am

0 4 * * * for 04:00am

I hope this helps!

hi @livehybrid 

Thank you. But I need all the alerts between 2:30 AM to 4:00 AM.  How I should be the con expression in that case

Is that on a schedule just between 2.30 and 4.00 AM?

e.g. every 5 minutes between those times?

@livehybrid  yes, every 5 minutes between 2.30 and 4.00 AM the alert needs to be triggered

Hi

as one alert can utilise only one cron expression you must create separate alerts (even the search is same) for those.

1) 2:30 - 2:55; 30,35,40,45,50,55 2 * * *

2) 3:00 - 3:55; */5 3 * * *

3) 4:00; 0 4 * * *
