Is there a way to have 2 different schedule patterns attached to a single flow. For example, I want this flow to run on a 5 minute interval during business hours only, and on an hourly interval off business hours.

Hey Mitchell - this is definitely possible using individual Clocks with filters attached; in particular you’ll probably want to set up a

between_times

filter on each clock: https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/schedules/filters.html#functions Clock types, filters, etc. can all be mix and matched in whatever way makes sense for your use case

@Chris White so that makes sense, but I’m confused on how you attach a filter to a specfic IntervalClock.. not seeing it in the API… are you saying:

flow.schedule = Schedule(clocks=[IntervalClock(...), IntervalClock(...)])

where

…

is where

between_times

filter would go?

Yea, I think I got ahead of myself… I thought filters could be attached to individual clocks but I agree that does not seem to be the case

my next thought process is.. the list of clocks and list of filters; say my first clock is every 5 mins, and second clock is every hour… now if my first filter is weekday, and second filter is weekend, does it get matched to its respective clock?

no unfortunately the filters are overlays across the whole schedule, independent of clock

gotcha

I like this use case though, I actually think we could allow for filters to be attached to clocks as well as schedules — I’ll open an issue for us to discuss on / consider the implications

sounds good! thanks Chris - and thanks Marvin 😉
