I'm having a `jdbc` connection within my `input` in `logstash` where as I'm trying to execute the query according to the `schedule` property. I went through [jdbc](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-jdbc.html) and [rufus-scheduler](https://github.com/jmettraux/rufus-scheduler), but still pretty unclear of what those five stars(\*) represent individually.
As per my knowledge, the stars from left to right (\* \* \* \* \*):
1. minute
2. hour
3. from (month)
4. to (month)
5. day
So if it's a scenario as such (\* \* \* \* \*), it represents to run the scheduler every minute. Hence if I'm to run it every five minutes, how the scheduler should look like? Something like (5 \* \* \* \*)?
Have I assumed it right? Or correct me if I'm wrong please.
