Getting Data In

Scheduling in db connect

Hi,

I want db connect to grab data at 1:00 am every day. I tried the following, and it gets spit out with an error:

00 01 * * 0-6

I also tried the documented example (30 18 * MON-FRI *), but it errors out as well.

2013-04-02 06:56:36.093 dbx4768:ERROR:Scheduler - Error while reloading database input=dbmon-tail://TQ/HINVDEVS
com.splunk.config.SplunkConfigurationException: Invalid interval value=30 18 * MON-FRI * for stanza dbmon-tail://TQ/HINVDEVS

The cron schedule 30 18 * MON-FRI * is invalid because you have MON-FRI as the month value (minute, hour, day, month, weekday). 0 1 * * MON-FRI should work though.
