Crons

In order to keep the entire application in a single language, the processes for actually running through the snap schedule and gathering statistics are managed by cron jobs. Their definition can be found below:

1  *    * * *   root    curl -k "https://localhost/process/snaps" > /dev/null
1  *    * * *   root    curl -k "https://localhost/process/stats" > /dev/null

These will run every hour at the 1 minute mark, but you can always change the interval at which they would run.

It is not recommended to collect stats more than once an hour since this data set will grow significantly, and it is not recommended to have the snapshot scheduler more frequently than once every 10 minutes.
