CustomSchedule	string	No	The custom detection period. You can only select a time period from Monday to Sunday for detection.	{"start_hour":0,"end_hour":24, "days":[0], "time_zone":"Local"}

The following tables describe the extended options of the HTTP, HTTPS, PING, TCP, UDP, DNS, SMTP. POP3, and FTP protocols specified by the TaskType parameter.
