Updating the Scheduler

You can update the default scheduler configuration instead of modifying individual host schedulers.

wakeupSchedule: "0 */15 * * * * *"
nightlySchedule: "0 0 0 * * * *"
defaultSchedule:
  activated: true
  backupPeriod: 86400
  backupToKeep:
    hourly: 24
    daily: 7
    weekly: 4
    monthly: 12
    yearly: 1
    yearly_limit: null

Inside the scheduler field:
