SQL JOB History is getting disappeared !!!!!!

  • Hi,

    i have setup a new server , SQL server 2005 with SP2

    i found that JOB log history is getting disappeared in 2-3 days , because of that

    i couldnt get the information about the status of the jobs.

    Can anybody tell me that what option i need to check/verify in SQL server agent

    so that i can get the job history atleast for 1 month. ?

    Thanks

  • There is a setting where you define maximum no of rows of history of a particular job.

    Pls go through this link:

  • Right click on SQL Server Agent node in the SQL Server Management Studio Object Explorer.

    Select Properties -> History

    Change the values according to your requirement.

  • You probably need to radically up the maximum entries and the maximum entries per job.. Depending on how often your jobs run you might need to set these rather high..

  • you can use the frequency of the job to gauge how many entrys you will get and adjust the size based on that
