Jira - Cron expression

[Gavin]

So I have the following cron expression

00 9 * * * ?

which I thought was run this everyday at 9 am

But based on the email I've been getting

• It's every hour at 9th minute of the hour

Followed: https://support.atlassian.com/jira-software-cloud/docs/construct-cron-expressions-for-a-filter-subscription/

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @Gavin ,

That expression will indeed translate to 

At second :00 of minute :09 of every hour

The expression you would want is: 0 0 9 ? * * *

That translates to: At 09:00:00am every day

You can easily generate these by using an online tool, for example: https://www.freeformatter.com/cron-expression-generator-quartz.html

What if I want the rule to run everyday at 11:30?

@Anissia Bouesso if you look at the link I provided you can see it would be 

0 30 11 ? * * *
