# Scheduler
|
||
|
||
Scheduler defines how often to run and make inferences, as well as what timerange to use to train the model.
|
||
Is specified in `scheduler` section of a config for VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection.
|
||
|
||
## Parameters
|
||
|
||
`class`: str, default=`"scheduler.periodic.PeriodicScheduler"`,
|
||
options={`"scheduler.periodic.PeriodicScheduler"`, `"scheduler.oneoff.OneoffScheduler"`, `"scheduler.backtesting.BacktestingScheduler"`}
|
||
|
||
- `"scheduler.periodic.PeriodicScheduler"`: periodically runs the models on new data. Useful for consecutive re-trainings to counter [data drift](https://www.datacamp.com/tutorial/understanding-data-drift-model-drift) and model degradation over time.
|
||
- `"scheduler.oneoff.OneoffScheduler"`: runs the process once and exits. Useful for testing.
|
||
- `"scheduler.backtesting.BacktestingScheduler"`: imitates consecutive backtesting runs of OneoffScheduler. Runs the process once and exits. Use to get more granular control over testing on historical data.
|
||
|
||
**Depending on selected class, different parameters should be used**
|
||
|
||
## Periodic scheduler
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
|
||
For periodic scheduler parameters are defined as differences in times, expressed in difference units, e.g. days, hours, minutes, seconds.
|
||
|
||
Examples: `"50s"`, `"4m"`, `"3h"`, `"2d"`, `"1w"`.

### Periodic scheduler config example
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
scheduler:
|
||
class: "scheduler.periodic.PeriodicScheduler"
|
||
fit_window: "14d"
|
||
infer_every: "1m"
|
||
fit_every: "1h"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
This part of the config means that `vmanomaly` will calculate the time window of the previous 14 days and use it to train a model. Every hour model will be retrained again on 14 days’ data, which will include + 1 hour of new data. The time window is strictly the same 14 days and doesn't extend for the next retrains. Every minute `vmanomaly` will produce model inferences for newly added data points by using the model that is kept in memory at that time.
|
||
|
||
## Oneoff scheduler
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
For Oneoff scheduler timeframes can be defined in Unix time in seconds or ISO 8601 string format.
|
||
ISO format supported time zone offset formats are:
|
||
* Z (UTC)
|
||
* ±HH:MM
|
||
* ±HHMM
|
||
* ±HH
|
||
|
||
If a time zone is omitted, a timezone-naive datetime is used.

## Backtesting scheduler
|
||
|
||
### Parameters
|
||
As for [Oneoff scheduler](#oneoff-scheduler), timeframes can be defined in Unix time in seconds or ISO 8601 string format.
|
||
ISO format supported time zone offset formats are:
|
||
* Z (UTC)
|
||
* ±HH:MM
|
||
* ±HHMM
|
||
* ±HH
|
||
|
||
If a time zone is omitted, a timezone-naive datetime is used.
|
||
|
||
### Defining overall timeframe
|
||
|
||
This timeframe will be used for slicing on intervals `(fit_window, infer_window == fit_every)`, starting from the *latest available* time point, which is `to_*` and going back, until no full `fit_window + infer_window` interval exists within the provided timeframe.

### Defining inference timeframe
|
||
In `BacktestingScheduler`, the inference window is *implicitly* defined as a period between 2 consecutive model `fit_every` runs. The *latest* inference window starts from `to_s` - `fit_every` and ends on the *latest available* time point, which is `to_s`. The previous periods for fit/infer are defined the same way, by shifting `fit_every` seconds backwards until we get the last full fit period of `fit_window` size, which start is >= `from_s`.
