Hello,  
I have a question about the CRON settings in “Log writer settings”.  
I want to set the Log writer to send me info to my email every 30min, but I have a problem with the correct setting. In minutes I have set 0/30, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help

Hi,

problem with your CRON is first \*. In this way the system will try to send email every second on 0 and 30 minute in each hour on very day.

Here is proper settings:

If you want to be more precise you can also specify hour range where you want to receive email and for example exclude weekends:

This one send data between 6 and 22 hours and only on weekdays.

In case yo use email writer I recommend to set also Limit (different to 0) otherwise the emails can be pretty long:
