About the Task Scheduler Page

To access this page, select Administration > Task Scheduler.

Use the Task Scheduler page to view and manage custom (user-created) tasks in Paragon Pathfinder. You can only view the system tasks that the Path Computation Element (PCE) launches to run scripts; you cannot add, modify, or delete the system tasks.

The system tasks are:

  • CollectionCleanup: Purges old raw and aggregated analytics data.

  • ESRollup: Aggregates the collected data from the previous hour.
