Why use this schedule
Six runs an hour. Good for work that is worth doing often but not constantly, such as pulling metrics or checking for stale records.
- Collecting metrics into a time-series store
- Retrying failed webhook deliveries
- Rebuilding a search index delta
First runs, as an example
Starting from 1 January 2027, evaluated in UTC (the hashed H offset is shown as its range start):

Ready-to-use Jenkins config
Drop this into your project. The expression is the one above.
pipeline {
agent any
triggers { cron('H/10 * * * *') }
stages {
stage('Build') { steps { echo 'Scheduled build' } }
}
}The Jenkins fields, in order: minute (0-59), hour (0-23), day-of-month (1-31), month (1-12), day-of-week (0-7, 0 and 7 = Sunday).
Things to watch out for in Jenkins
- H/15 starts every 15 minutes at a hashed offset per job, which avoids every job firing at :00. The preview here assumes an offset of 0.
- Jenkins uses the controller's time zone. Put TZ=Asia/Kolkata on its own first line of the trigger to override it.
The common mistake with this schedule
Because 10 divides 60 evenly the gaps are always exactly ten minutes. That is not true for steps like 7 or 25, which restart at the top of every hour.
