I just saw this and am kinda intrigued... Currently, we have 30 - 40 jobs all configured as */5 * * * * (so every 5 min) for their polling interval.
But then I see this "H" thing.... "To allow periodically scheduled tasks to produce even load on the system, the 'H' token can be used. For example, people often use '0 0 * * *' for a daily job, but this ends up causing a large spike in midnight. In contrast, doing 'H H * * *' would still execute a job once a day, but the actual time of the day this gets executed will be spread over by Jenkins." I won't allow me to do H/5 * * * * (so randomly every five minutes) and IIUC, if I have H * * * *, that would be once an hour, randomly. Is there a way to use "H" in such a way that it will poll about every 5 min, but prevent every job from polling at the exact same time?
