I would like to reduce preasure on my gitlab which is used during working hours [8am - 6pm]

  • specify that the gitlab-connections has to be scheduled between [0am - 3am]
  • also select indexed days only (It doesn't matter to index during satursday - sunday)

Is it possible to have a crontab expression to let user specify syncrhonisation ?

Thx for your replies

    heya - we don't currently expose a mechanism of modifying the job schedule, but the system can accept cron expressions which would allow for the level of control you're looking for.

    how much pressure are you seeing on your GitLab instance?

    Thx for your answer,

    I would like to synchronize my gitlab instance once a day (during the night) on working days :

    -> 30 2 * * 1-5
    Can you forward me the documentation that allow to specify cron :)

    Thx a lot
