Schedule Tasks with QMonitor

This page lists scheduled jobs and provides controls to create, filter, inspect, and clean up job records.

Top controls

  • Create new job: opens the New Job page to define a job and its schedule.
  • Filters:
    • Job status: All, Not run, Failed, Succeeded, Executed — use this to focus on the executions you care about.
    • Instance: restrict the list to a single SQL instance.
    • Job type: Manual jobs or Autofix jobs (automatic remediation).
  • Delete completed one-time jobs: removes completed jobs that had a one-time schedule to tidy the list and reclaim storage.

Jobs list

  • The list shows jobs matching the selected filters. Each row contains:
    • Job status icon: visual state of the latest execution
      • Green checkmark = completed successfully
      • Blue spinner = running/in progress
      • Red X = failed/error
    • Job type: indicates the action (Execute query or Execute command).
    • Name: job name; next to it (in smaller text) the schedule description (for example “at 02:00” or “On 2025-11-01 at 09:00”).
    • Delete: button to remove the job definition and its history.
    • Show log: opens the execution log for the job to inspect output, errors, and step details.

Row actions and navigation

  • Click the job name to open the Job Detail page to edit or view the job.
  • Use Show log to view recent runs, stderr/stdout, and execution status.
  • Use Delete to remove obsolete jobs.

Tips

  • Filter by Failed to quickly find jobs that need attention.
  • Use the Instance filter to hand off job issues to the responsible DBA.
  • Regularly remove one-time completed jobs to keep the job list manageable.
