Hi,

Last week we got discoverd that one of our SQL jobs was still running.
Nomally the job takes 5 minutes to run, but this time is was still running after 5 days.
The problem was due to the fact that the program that the SQL job was executing was "hung up" and did not respond.
The SQL job was however waiting for a reply.

Now, the server on which the SQL job was active is in SQL Monitor 3 and had the SQL Job Unusual and SQL job failed alerts activated.
However w didn't get an alert. Now since the job didn't report failure i can imagine the SQL Job failure doesn't do anything.
I did expect it from the SQL Job Unusual, since the time running was far higher than the normal time.
It didn't.

Can someone explain this?
Also, is there an option to create a custom metric for this?
Or perhaps another way to achive this?

greetings,

Kick Vieleers
