Inquiry: model_monitoring/create_monitoring_schedule job frequency issue

[zhangchi1]

Describe the feature you'd like
Customized Schedule_cron_expressio, such as weekly, monthly, and per x days, etc.

How would this feature be used? Please describe.
I'd like to create sagemaker model monitoring schedule using this create_monitoring_schedule Model Monitor API. One field is the cron expression that dictates the frequency that this job runs at.
Firstly, I'm wondering if I can specify weekly or monthly, I would like to generate a weekly report? It seems like currently it only supports hourly and daily, based on this code?

Secondly, assume I select hourly in create_monitoring_schedule, does that mean Sagemaker will generate a report each hour by only using the last hour captured data from inference and compare it will my baseline statistics? Or it does a cumulatively report each hour? The description of create_monitoring_schedule method doesn't state that clearly? Maybe we could add more clarification context in the API documentation?

Really appreciated,

You are correct, we will generate a report using only the last hour of captured data (or the last day if running a daily job).

It is furthermore correct that we only support hourly and daily at this time.

We appreciate the feedback, we will update the documentation to make this clearer.

Checking out the ScheduleConfig documentation, valid values are still at most daily.

Supporting weekly, monthly or every x month values can be of great value if using DataQualityMonitor for Models where the ground truth period is longer.

Is there any way to request the development for weekly, monthly, every x months or the like to ScheduleConfig ?
