Scan schedules#

Scan Configuration sets how often Guardian scans your CIs automatically. Schedules are set per CI group or per environment, and run on the Guardian scan engine.

Set a schedule#

  1. Open Scan Configuration. Choose whether to work with CI groups or environments.
  2. Find the group or environment and edit its schedule.
  3. Choose the Frequency:
    • Daily, at a time you choose.
    • Weekly, on a day of the week and at a time you choose.
    • Manually, so its CIs are scanned only when someone asks.
  4. Save. Next run shows when the schedule runs next, and Last run when it last ran.

All times are in UTC.

Pause a schedule#

A schedule can be Active or Paused. Pausing keeps its settings so you can turn it back on later.

Override a schedule for one CI#

A CI can override its group's cadence from its own page. Use this for a CI that needs scanning more or less often than the rest of its group.

Good to know

A group or environment with no schedule shows Not Scheduled: its CIs are scanned on demand only. If you have no CI groups yet, create one on this page first, then set its schedule.
