Task scheduler

Kaspersky SD-WAN supports using the scheduler to delay the running of tasks. You can use tags to group CPE devices to delay tasks on those devices.

The following types of delayed tasks are supported:

• Running scripts on CPE devices. You must first add the scripts that you want to run to the CPE template.
• Updating firmware on CPE devices. You must first upload the firmware that you want to install to the orchestrator web interface.

When you schedule a delayed task, Kaspersky SD-WAN uses the time zone of the orchestrator host. 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 device is 6:00 p.m.

When configuring delayed running of tasks, consider the following:

• A 10-second inaccuracy is considered acceptable for the moment when the task is run.
• If a task does not run because the orchestrator is not available at the scheduled time, the task is displayed with the Error status.
• If multiple CPE device configuration tasks exist, they are performed in parallel. If the orchestrator cannot run all tasks in parallel, they are run in the order they were created.
• If you delete a CPE template that has associated tasks, the tasks are also deleted.
• If you delete a CPE device that has associated tasks, the tasks are also deleted.
• When you try to delete a script that is associated with tasks, you must additionally confirm this action.

You can manually run delayed tasks that have not yet been run.
