[[schedule-interval]]
==== Interval Schedule
A <<trigger-schedule, `schedule`>> that triggers at a fixed time interval.
The interval can be set in seconds, minutes, hours, days, or weeks:
* `"Xs"` - trigger every `X` seconds. For example, `"30s"` means every 30 seconds.
* `"Xm"` - trigger every `X` minutes. For example, `"5m"` means every 5 minutes.
* `"Xh"` - trigger every `X` hours. For example, `"12h"` means every 12 hours.
* `"Xd"` - trigger every `X` days. For example, `"3d"` means every 3 days.
* `"Xw"` - trigger every `X` weeks. For example, `"2w"` means every 2 weeks.
If you don't specify a time unit, it defaults to seconds.
NOTE: The interval value differs from the standard _time value_ used in Elasticsearch.
You cannot configure intervals in milliseconds or nanoseconds.
===== Configuring an Interval Schedule
To configure an `interval` schedule, you simply specify a string value that represents the interval.
If you omit the unit of time (`s`,`m`, `h`, `d`, or `w`), it defaults to seconds.
For example, the following `interval` schedule triggers every five minutes.
