The following issues related to the Custom Scheduler Jobs were observed:

  • An Alert was not triggered due to some error, and no e-mail notification was sent to raise an incident for the Custom Scheduler Jobs. This issue occurred for the Jobs that have encountered any error and executed for more than the specified max runtime/frequency.
  • An Alert was not triggered due to some error, and no e-mail notification was sent to raise an incident for the Custom Scheduler Jobs. This issue occurred for the configured Jobs that have executed without any error earlier and failed to run again on the specified run-time interval.

Now, the alert is triggered, and an appropriate e-mail is sent to raise an incident with the details based on the Job Category such as List of Disabled Jobs, List of Interrupted/Killed Jobs, List of Running Jobs, and List of Jobs Configured but not Running.

If e-mail parsing is enabled to parse the alert and the incident will be logged accordingly.

Note:

The below-listed points are applicable only for List of Jobs Configured but not Running:

  • If the Job is not running and the frequency/max runtime is less than 30 mins, then the system doesn't send an alert for 3 intervals and sends it for the 4th interval.
  • If the Job is not running and the frequency/max runtime is more than 30 mins, then the system doesn't send an alert for 2 intervals and sends it for the 3rd interval.
