Guide — Manage Schedules

This guide describes how to view schedule details, monitor execution status per Instance, and delete a schedule when it is no longer needed.

View Schedule Details​

  1. In the left navigation bar, select Compute Engine → Schedules.

  2. Select the Instance schedule tab.

  3. Click the schedule name in the list to open the detail page.

    Schedule detail

The detail page shows:

  • Schedule configuration: Timezone, Frequency, Start time, Stop time, Start date, End date.
  • The Instances attached table: the list of Instances attached to the schedule, along with each Instance's status and the result of the most recent start/stop action (success or failure).

Attach or Detach an Instance from a Schedule​

  1. Open the detail page of the schedule you want to manage.
  2. In the Instances attached table, click Manage instances (or the equivalent button).
  3. Select the Instances to add to the list, or deselect the Instances to remove.
  4. Click Confirm to save the changes.

Note: Each Instance can be attached to only one instance schedule at a time. Instances that already belong to another schedule do not appear in the selection list.

Monitor Execution Results​

In the Instances attached table on the schedule detail page, each row shows:

ColumnMeaning
InstanceThe name of the Instance the schedule applies to
StatusThe current status of the Instance (Running, Stopped, ...)
Latest startThe time of the most recent start action and its result (Success / Failed)
Latest stopThe time of the most recent stop action and its result (Success / Failed)

If an execution result is Failed, check the Instance status and refer to Troubleshooting — Schedules.

Delete a Schedule​

Note: Deleting a schedule does not affect the current state of the Instance (a running Instance continues to run). The automatic start/stop schedule will simply stop executing.

  1. Open the detail page of the schedule you want to delete.
  2. Click Delete.
  3. Confirm the deletion in the confirmation dialog.

The deleted schedule will no longer appear in the list and will no longer issue start/stop commands to any Instance.

Change Schedule Configuration​

Instance schedules do not support editing. To change the configuration (time, frequency, etc.):

  1. Delete the current schedule as described above.
  2. Create a new schedule with the desired configuration as described in Guide — Create a Schedule.
