Alerting

Weekend Alerts not working

Hi there,

I used to have a couple of alerts which worked using a crons expression from Monday to Saturday (*/15 7-19 * * 1-) and another for Sunday (*/15 10-15 * * 0).

The requirements changed so I needed the Saturday and Sunday alert timings to be the same. I used (*/15 10-15 * * 6-7) but that didn't that didn't trigger an alert. I tried */15 10-15 * * SAT-SUN but it doesn't accept that format.

 

Can you help me with a crons expression for Saturday and Sunday?

Hi @vishalduttauk,

did you tried this:

for Saturday and Sunday:

*/15 10-15 * * 0,6 

for the other days:

*/15 7-19 * * 1,2,3,4,5

Ciao.

Hi @gcusello 

The week day alerts were working fine but I've applied 0, 6 to the weekend alerts so that should work now.
