Quick Scan Report – Failed SQL Server Agent Jobs

Why Failed Jobs Are a Concern

SQL Server Agent automates critical tasks like backups, index maintenance, and data imports. A failed job can lead to:

• Missed backups – Risking data loss and non-compliance.
• Incomplete maintenance – Fragmented indexes and outdated statistics affecting performance.
• Data processing failures – Reports, ETL, or scheduled tasks not running as expected.

The Failed Jobs Instance Report can help give more insight into when and why your SQL Server Agent Jobs might be failing.

Recommended Fix

• Check job history in SQL Server Agent to find failure reasons.
• Set up failure alerts via Database Mail to notify administrators.
• Use Database Health Monitor to track job failures automatically.
