Is it just me or do the bots not actually check every 5 minutes as planned?

So this is stemming from an issue I opened the other day:

#188

I was lucky enough to get a quick answer. (Thank you!)

Anyway, I changed the settings in the .uppertimerc.yml so graphics, ping, and other info should update every 5 minutes and commit to git history. However, I was displeased to find this isn't happening:

Here is what the file looks like;

Am I using this incorrectly? It's pretty important that this is checked as much as possible, as 15 minutes could make a large difference in this use case. Some help/more information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! 🙂

Can you share a link to your repository? I'll have a look!

A sidenote: You should also run "Update Template CI" once manually after updating your .upptimerc.yml to regenerate the workflows.

So even with that change, it still does not make the changes every 5 minutes as planned. Very strange.

Hey @FxllenCode I am having this issue too

I am suspecting GitHub might not be running */5 cron jobs every 5 minutes.

@FxllenCode: The workflowSchedule is still not well-formatted: https://github.com/FxllenCode/StatusPlus/blob/master/.upptimerc.yml#L69.

[FxllenCode]

@AnandChowdhary I've made the change and haven't seen a difference... I will update if that changes but as of now it still isn't working as intended.

[AnandChowdhary]

No, it looks like it's updated as intended 😄 Status-Plus/StatusPlus@8304e5c

I wrote a quick blog post with some additional information about this issue: https://upptime.js.org/blog/2021/01/22/github-actions-schedule-not-working.

Hello, can you please send me example code how to run uptime workflow every 5 minutes using IFTTT?

[AnandChowdhary]

We now support using self-hosted runners, which is a possible solution to this: https://upptime.js.org/docs/configuration#self-hosted-runners. I'll also work on some docs for IFTTT or Jenkins.

[Soneji]

Surely self hosted runners doesnt make much sense since they use our infrastructure. One main benefit of upptime is that it is disconnected from our infrastructures, and therefore independant on them, and can report error if our infrastructures go down

[ririko5834]

Can you make guide for IFTTT or pipedream? I dont want self-hosted runner. @AnandChowdhary

Hi @AnandChowdhary
Is there any update on this?
