Cron Settings

8 vues Markdown

The four endpoints for the automation's configuration, its main switch and its cron secret.

Overview

These four endpoints configure the automation itself: how long records are kept, which hours heavy work runs in, whether the automation is on at all, and the secret guarding the cron address.

The main switch is an emergency stop. With it off no task runs: no invoice is issued, no service renewed, no notice sent. Who switched it off and when stays recorded in the settings.

The secret is the cron address's password and cannot be read; the settings say only whether one is set. Renewing hands it back once and makes the old address invalid.

Reference

Reading the Settings

Writing the Settings

curl_close($ch);
// SHORTENING the retention does not clear the past at once; the clean-up is its own call.
Api::Automation()->UpdateAutomationSettings(['completed_days' => 7]);

Stopping the Automation

put/api/v1/admin/automation/cron-enabled
Automation/ToggleAutomationCron admin stops everything

Switches the automation's main switch on or off.

Body 1
enabledintreqSwitches the automation on, or stops it outright.
Response fields data — 2
cron_enabledboolHow the switch now stands.
changedboolWhether anything moved. False means it already stood that way.
Errors 3
enabled_required422Neither on nor off was given.
blocked_by_gate422A hook refused the switch-off.
insufficient_scope403The key lacks the required scope.
Request 
curl -X PUT 'https://panel.example.com/api/v1/admin/automation/cron-enabled' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"enabled":0}'
const res = await fetch('https://panel.example.com/api/v1/admin/automation/cron-enabled', {
  method: 'PUT',
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',

    ],
    CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS => json_encode(['enabled' => 0]),
]);

$body = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
curl_close($ch);
// Switching off stops INVOICING, RENEWALS and notices alike; keep it for maintenance.
Api::Automation()->ToggleAutomationCron(['enabled' => 0]);
// ... maintenance ...
Api::Automation()->ToggleAutomationCron(['enabled' => 1]);

Renewing the Secret

post/api/v1/admin/automation/cron-secret/regenerate
Automation/RegenerateAutomationCronSecret admin breaks the old address

Builds a new secret for the cron address and returns it.

Body —
——No body is needed; send an empty one. This endpoint takes no parameters, so the new secret cannot be chosen.
Response fields data — 1
secretstringThe new secret. It cannot be read again, so write it into the scheduled call on the server at once.
Errors 2
config_write_failed422The settings file could not be written.
insufficient_scope403The key lacks the required scope.
Request 
curl -X POST 'https://panel.example.com/api/v1/admin/automation/cron-secret/regenerate' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
const res = await fetch('https://panel.example.com/api/v1/admin/automation/cron-secret/regenerate', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}` },
});

const { data } = await res.json();
// data.secret yalnizca burada gorunur
$ch = curl_init('https://panel.example.com/api/v1/admin/automation/cron-secret/regenerate');
curl_setopt_array($ch, [
    CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER => true,
    CURLOPT_POST           => true,
    CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER     => ['Authorization: Bearer ' . $apiKey],
]);

$body = json_decode(curl_exec($ch), true);
curl_close($ch);
// Renewing makes the OLD cron address invalid: nothing runs until the scheduled call on
// the server is updated.
$secret = Api::Automation()->RegenerateAutomationCronSecret()['data']['secret'];

Pitfalls

The main switch stops everything

Switching the automation off stops not one task but all of them: no invoice, no renewal, no suspension, no notice. While it stays off the jobs pile up in the queue, and they all begin running at once when it comes back. When switching off for maintenance, keep the window short.

The new secret shows once

The renew call returns the secret in that response alone, and the settings endpoint never gives it again. Miss it and you cannot update the scheduled call on the server, leaving another renewal as the only way out. A client that logs its responses logs the secret too.

Renewing breaks the old address

The secret is part of the cron address. The moment it changes, the scheduled call on the server keeps using the old one and gets refused, so the automation stops until the address is updated. The outage is quiet: nothing shows as an error, the jobs merely begin piling up.

The window holds heavy work back

The window keeps heavy tasks to certain hours alone. A narrow one can leave the night's work unfinished by morning and the queue a little longer each day. When narrowing it, watch the longest wait on the dashboard; a growing figure says the window is too small.

Shortening the retention does not clear the past

Lowering the retention days changes only what the next clean-up measures by; the older rows stay until it runs. To free space, run the clean-up rather than changing the setting and waiting, and look at the preview first to see what would go.
