I have `schedule` parameters for cron jobs in the input configurations of `http_poller` and `jdbc` plugins:

- http\_poller runs at the mark of the hour, i.e. `schedule => { cron => "0 * * * *"}`
- jdbc runs every 2 minutes, i.e. `schedule => "*/2 * * * *"`

I run everything on the same pipeline.

What I observe, is that logstash triggers the http\_poller at much shorter and inconsistent intervals, at 2, 3 or 5 minutes instead of once every hour.

I managed to get it working at some point and wonder whether a combination of `systemctl restart logstash.service` and the plugins being busy causing past values for cron jobs to be stack into the system.

My bad, figured out I had a test.conf in the `/etc/logstash/conf.d` folder which got loaded into logstash once I restarted it and was responsible for this seemingly weird behavior.
