Visual Query schedule

When the user enables alerting on a saved Visual Query, the query is run automatically on schedule. The default schedule can be changed to suit your performance requirements and the number of Visual Queries that are saved with alerting enabled.

By default, the Visual Queries that are saved with alerting enabled are run once every 24 hours, at 00:00 according to the server time. If the result of a query is different from the last time that the query ran, the user receives an alert with this information.

You can change or override the default schedule, as follows.

Note: Running Visual Queries on schedule might impact performance for users of the system. The following factors are examples of the characteristics of Visual Queries that can affect performance.
  • Number of queries
  • Complexity of the queries
  • Volume of data searched by the queries
In this situation, consider setting the daily schedule for a quiet period, such as overnight, or setting the custom schedule for a low frequency.
