@Marostegui @hnowlan would you object to having this ingestion process automated (=scheduled by a cron job) moving forward? What kind of safeguards would you need in place?

I am fine with that as long as we use the same parameters we've been using for the previous runs.
We should probably try to report or graph these runs if possible in order to detect anomalies (ie: super short or long runtimes might indicate problems). How would this automation deal with errors? (ie: the host being down for maintenance).
