Hello

I understand , now in input plugin of logstash say for example jdbc one , has schedule option, so that we can schedule it in here itself.

I did read documents but did not came across the explanation of condition were in what will happen if my previous schedule is still running and next one is triggered ?

For example :

1. I have schedule , for every 5 minutes. and my query runs for 6 minutes. In this case , another run will be triggered by scheduler. what will happen in this case ?

Will it wait for first one to complete or both "runs" will run parallely or error is thrown ?

Could you please help me in understanding.

Note : Schedule is for 5 minutes , assuming my query finishes in a minute of time.

Thanks
