> Hi experts! Have a problem with a task that should run every month but it does not start! I do not get any failure messages nor log entries. When manually I run the task it executes as expected, so the data and the script it self seems to be ok. As reference I have other tasks scheduled every 10 min and 1 day that works great. Any suggestion on where to fault trace? running InfluxDB version 2.0.9
