The Job History tab lists chronologically all jobs events of your managed instances. SQL Enterprise Job Manager displays an entry each time a job runs. 

You can use the View By drop-down options on the left side of this tab to specify if you want to view your job history by day, week or month. Alternatively, you can use the calendar in Date to select a specific date for which you want to view your job history. 

On this list you can see the following values:

  • Status - displays the status of each job event: failed, successful, retry, canceled, or unknown. Take into account that this is not the status of the job itself but of each event (every time the job runs).
  • Date time /Time - displays the date and time of each job event, including the time zone. 
  • Duration - shows the duration in hh:mm:ss of each job event (total duration of all steps executed for that job).
  • Instance - displays the name of the SQL Server instance where the job ran.
  • Job Name - shows the name of the respective job.
  • Max Run Time - the maximum run time of a job step in the job event
  • Avg Run Time - the average run time of job steps in the job event
  • Message - displays additional information of the job event: status, schedule used, last step ran, etc. 
Tip

The status of job events are represented with the following icons: Successful, Canceled, Failed, Retry, or Unknown.
