### Optimization Policies

#### PeriodicEffector Policy

- org.apache.brooklyn.policy.action.PeriodicEffectorPolicy

The `PeriodicEffectorPolicy` calls an effector with a set of arguments at a specified time and date. The following example
calls a `resize` effector to resize a cluster up to 10 members at 8am and then down to 1 member at 6pm.

add this text:

The policy monitors the sensor configured as start.sensor and will only start when this is set to true. The default sensor checked is service.isUp, so that the policy will not execute the effector until the entity is started.

#### ScheduledEffector Policy

- org.apache.brooklyn.policy.action.ScheduledEffectorPolicy

The `ScheduledEffectorPolicy` calls an effector after a specified interval has expired. The interval can be triggered from a sensor, `SERVICE_UP` by default.

change to:

The ScheduledEffectorPolicy calls an effector at a specific time, waiting until the entity is ready using the same mechanism as the PeriodicEffectorPolicy. There are two modes of operation, one based solely on policy configuration where the effector will execute at the time set using the time key or after the duration set using the wait key, or by monitoring sensors. The policy monitors the scheduler.invoke.now sensor and will execute the effector immediately when its value changes to true. When the scheduler.invoke.at sensor changes, it will set a time in the future when the effector should be executed.

The following example calls a `backup` effector every night at midnight.

- type: org.apache.brooklyn.policy.action.ScheduledEffectorPolicy
brooklyn.config:
effector: backup
time: 00:00:00
