Creating Schedules

Schedules let SnapFS run scans on a regular cadence.

Recurring schedules require a connected scanner agent. If you are only running one-off CLI scans, you can skip this page for now and return to it later after Installing an Agent.

Start Small

For beta, the safest approach is:

create a schedule for a small root or subpath first
confirm scan behavior
then expand to a larger scope if the results look correct

Typical Choices

Useful starting points:

hourly for a small active folder
daily for a larger or quieter root
manual runs for initial validation before creating a schedule

Existing Schedules

Use the Schedules page to review and manage recurring scans.

What To Enter

When creating a schedule, choose:

a clear schedule name
the target path to scan
the run cadence
whether the schedule is enabled

Schedules must stay within the root path configured for the connected agent.

Create A Schedule

The create flow should be straightforward: choose a name, target path, cadence, and whether the schedule starts enabled.

Good Beta Practice

If this is a very large environment, do not start with the full namespace. Validate one or two smaller roots first.
