Kaspersky SD-WAN supports running scheduled tasks on CPE devices. Unlike standard tasks, scheduled tasks run at a specified time instead of immediately. You can use tags to group CPE devices on which you want to run a scheduled task.
When you create a scheduled task, it uses the time zone of the virtual machine on which the orchestrator is deployed. For example, if you schedule a script to run on a CPE device at 2:00 p.m., the script runs at 2:00 p.m. in the time zone of the orchestrator, even if the time on the CPE device is 6:00 p.m.
We recommend taking into account the following special considerations when managing scheduled tasks:
A 10-second inaccuracy is considered acceptable for the moment when the scheduled task is run.
If multiple scheduled tasks exist, they run simultaneously. If the orchestrator cannot run all scheduled tasks simultaneously, they are run in the order they were created.
When deleting a script associated with scheduled tasks, this action requires additional confirmation. If you confirm the action, the script is deleted and cannot be run within the created scheduled tasks.
The table of scheduled tasks is displayed in the Scheduler section. Information about scheduled tasks is displayed in the following columns of the table:
ID is the ID of the scheduled task.
Name is the name of the scheduled task.
User is the name of the user which created the scheduled task.
Created is the date and time when the scheduled task was created.
Status is the status of the scheduled task:
Done means the scheduled task has been completed successfully.
Error means an error occurred while running the scheduled task.
Pending means the scheduled task is placed in the orchestrator database and is awaiting execution.
Queued means the scheduled task is queued for execution.
Running means the scheduled task is running.
Scheduled is the date and time when the scheduled task was run.
