Scheduler

The Scheduler runs recurring maintenance actions on your agents on a cron schedule. Every job requires consent before execution — safe actions run automatically, riskier ones wait for approval.

Creating a job

Superadmins can create a job from Scheduled Automation → + New Job, setting:

• Name and optional description
• Action — see supported actions below
• Target — all online agents, or one specific agent
• Schedule — a cron expression, either typed directly or picked from presets (every hour, daily at 2am, weekly, weekdays at 9am, every 15 minutes, monthly). Guardian shows a plain-English description of the schedule as you edit it.

Supported actions

Action	Risk tier
Rotate & compress logs	Safe — runs automatically
Clear temp files	Safe — runs automatically
Drop OS page cache	Safe — runs automatically
Restart a service	Safe — runs automatically
Capture diagnostic snapshot	Moderate — requires approval in Pending Actions

Managing jobs

Each job shows its status (enabled/disabled), target, schedule, next run time, last run time, and total run count. From the job list you can:

• Enable or disable a job
• Delete a job
• View its run history — a per-agent log of each run’s status (queued, running, executed, failed) with results

Superadmins can also select multiple jobs to enable, disable, or delete them in bulk. Only Superadmins can create, edit, toggle, or delete jobs; other roles can view the job list and run history.
