Tips or Tweaks for controlling when a daily ConfigSource runs? | Product Discussions

I have a config source, that really under the hood is doing some other task, a coding task, and it used to conveniently run every day at 22:47 or something like that, but because of reasons, now it runs at 10:05 every morning. This is some ancient script someone else wrote in python and it runs on a collector. I’ll probably convert it to be groovy, and have it run hourly, but only act when the hour digit on the time is 22 or something wacky.But short of that, it did have me wonder, are there any tricky ways to change when a daily config source runs? Because from what I can tell, they run at the time they were made, or I guess at the last time the collector went down because of a domain password problem :) *cough*.I could just try a meaningless edit on the ConfigSource and see if that does it. I dont think bouncing the collector service will do it because on rare occasion the service restarts at a time other than its normal time and that doesnt change CS run times.Just wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks? I’ll probably just rewrite this to run hourly but act only on a specific hour of the day. But just fishing for ideas.I really wish we could schedule ConfigSources like we can reports.Thanks!
