# Period

The number of days that each snapshot consists of. This parameter has an effect only when you set TimeSpanSnapshot to `True`. In this case, the Category component takes snapshots in the time span specified by StartDays and EndDays, and each snapshot contains data for the number of days that you set for `Period`.

Use Gap to specify how many days must elapse between the taking of snapshots.

Actions: | ClusterSnapshot
Type: | Long
Default: |
Example: | `TimeSpanSnapshot=True StartDays=20 EndDays=11 Period=2 Gap=1` In this example, the time span in which snapshots are taken is `9` days. It starts `20` days ago (the current date minus 20) and ends `11` days ago (the current date minus 11). Each snapshot that is taken spans `2` days. Every time a snapshot is completed, `1` day elapses before the next snapshot starts.
