# Scheduler Configuration Parameters

You can schedule specific actions to send to a service at regular intervals. You can use scheduling to automate recurrent ACI actions (for example, connector fetch tasks) or index maintenance tasks (for example, `DRECOMPACT` and `DREBACKUP`).

This section describes the parameters you can use to configure schedules in Controller. For example:

    [Scheduler]
    SchedulerThreads=1

    [Scheduler/Paths]
    SchedulesDirectory=data/schedules

NOTE: You can also control scheduling from Coordinator. For more information, refer to the Coordinator Reference.
