How schedule periodic task but execute on Logstash instance starts? I need to schedule tasks to execute every hour, but I need force re-execute this when Logstash service restarted. How to do this? Thank you! ---

Does your configuration have an input that has a schedule option? If so, what does it look like? ---

Hi, My schedule setting is this. 5 min recorrence, but I would like execute job when logstash service restart. Is there any way? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/8/d878d356a5fe500e8d9957078179e7fcd7086c30.png) ---

You could try adding a second http\_poller input, with a schedule of at =\> "now". That would execute once when logstash started. You would have to replicate all the urls configuration. ---
