Set Interval for input modules


#1 casey1234
Say I wanted to run a PowerShell script on an interval using the `im_exec` module how would I do that? ``` Module im_exec Command "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" Arg "script goes here" $output = $raw_event; ``` I can make the interval work by creating pauses in the code but then it appears as though the script process would run forever which is undesirable for efficiency and stability reasons. Is there a way to run the code on a interval, say every fifteen minutes? Thoughts? Thanks in advance!!

Hi Casey! Maybe what you want to use is the Schedule directive. Please take a look to reference manual, section "2.3.2. Schedule": ``` Module im_tcp Port 2345 Every 1 sec First 2010-12-17 00:19:06 Exec log_info("scheduled execution at " + now()); When 1 */2 2-4 * * Exec log_info("scheduled execution at " + now()); ```
