Opsgenie api mystery ..

[sergey_green]

In this api description; 

"type": "hourly",
"length": 6,

What is hourly and what is length? Going further the payload example, neither type nor length are adding up to anything meaningful. What other types are there?

thanks.

P.S. Forgot the link (but should be obvious anyways)

@sergey_green the two parameters determine how long each member is on-call, before the next user is scheduled from the rotation.

"type": "hourly", "length": 6 - Each user is on-call for 6 hours

"type": "daily", "length": 2 - Each user is on-call for 2 days

"type": "daily", "length":7 is equal to "type": "weekly", "length": 1 - Each user is on-call for 1 week

The API documentation is here: https://docs.opsgenie.com/docs/schedule-rotation-api, though it doesn't explain things any better than the link you provided.
