Wait X minutes before next check?

[b4bbuilder]

I want to set a number of watches at 5-minute intervals but make it so that after one is finished checking another cannot be run for a specified delay. For example, if watch #1 is currently processing and watch #2 is in queue, I would like to wait a minute after watch #1 is finished before watch #2 is processed. Is this currently possible?

I did find the environment variable MAX_QUEUE_LENGTH which I could set to 1 but that will result in a longer delay that I would like.

Hi, I also would like to limit the number of watches being checked simultaneously. At the moment it runs 10 watches at a time, but I cannot find where to set this limit? I tried the MAX_QUEUE_LENGTH (set it to 1 and to 100), but that does not make a difference. I also changed the "MAX_CONCURRENT_SESSIONS" playwright-chrome setting to 1, but it still performs 10 checks at once.

I would love to have the watches checked every 15 minutes, but with only one watch being checked at the same time. Is this possible in any way?

Still haven't found a way to do this. The problem is that when there are too many concurrent connections to the website I am monitoring, access is blocked for some time. There is no problem when all the watches are run in immediate succession.

I now manually start the watches (fortunately no more than 20) and wait for the previous watch to finish before starting another one. But if I need to restart my server for some reason, I have to do this manual process again. I hope there is a setting that solves this.
