Scheduled Runs

Scheduled runs let you automatically analyze your audit logs on a recurring basis - every hour, every 6 hours, or once a day. Each run fetches the latest logs from your connected cloud provider and runs a full anomaly analysis without any manual action.
Scheduled runs require an active cloud connector. Set up your GCP connector first.

Setting up a schedule

  1. Go to Connectors
  2. Select your connected GCP connector
  3. In the Scheduled analysis section below the connected status, choose a frequency:
FrequencyAnalyzesBest for
Every hourLogs from the last 1 hourActive incident monitoring, high-change environments
Every 6 hoursLogs from the last 6 hoursRegular security posture checks
Every 24 hoursLogs from the last 24 hoursDaily security review (recommended)
  1. Click Enable
That’s it. Flare will run the first analysis at the scheduled time and continue at the selected interval.

How it works

When a scheduled run fires:
  1. Flare fetches your most recent audit logs for the configured time window
  2. Runs a full anomaly analysis (same pipeline as manual analyses)
  3. Compares findings against your historical baseline
  4. Saves the results as a new analysis in your history
Each scheduled analysis appears in your Analyses list with the name format: “Hourly scan - GCP” (or “6-hour scan” / “Daily scan”).

Managing your schedule

Changing frequency

From the Connectors page, use the frequency dropdown in the Scheduled analysis section and click Update. The next run will use the new frequency.

Disabling

Click Disable in the Scheduled analysis section. This pauses the schedule without deleting it. You can re-enable at any time.

Viewing results

All scheduled analysis results appear in your Analyses history alongside manual analyses. There’s no separate view - everything is in one place.

Limits

  • Maximum 5 active schedules per account - one per connector is typical
  • No daily limit impact - scheduled runs do not count against your 10-per-day manual analysis quota
  • One active schedule per connector - changing the frequency replaces the previous schedule

Connection requirements

Scheduled runs depend on an active cloud connector. If your GCP connection expires or is revoked:
  • The scheduled run will detect the expired connection
  • Flare automatically pauses the schedule to avoid repeated failures
  • You’ll see the connector status change to “Expired” on the Connectors page
  • After reconnecting, re-enable the schedule from the Connectors page

Tips

  • Start with daily. A 24-hour schedule is the best balance of coverage and cost for most environments. Move to 6h or 1h if you need faster detection.
  • Check your history. Scheduled runs build your baseline over time. The more analyses you run, the better Flare gets at distinguishing genuinely new activity from normal patterns.
  • Combine with manual analysis. Use scheduled runs for ongoing monitoring and manual analyses for ad-hoc investigation of specific time windows or incidents.
