Job Duration

Microsoft.SQLServer.Linux.Monitor.AgentJob.Duration (UnitMonitor)

This monitor checks the Agent Job Duration. Note that SQL Server Agent Linux Service is not supported by any edition of SQL Server Express.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This monitor checks all jobs on the SQL Agent and if any of the jobs takes longer than the specified threshold, the monitor changes its state either to Warning or Critical. This does not generate an alert because there is an override to disable alerts to control noise. If you want this level of monitoring, you need to override Alerting back to enabled, or use the 'Job Duration' alert rule.

Note that SQL Server Agent Linux Service is not supported by any edition of SQL Server Express.

Alert Priority	Defines Alert Priority.	Normal
Alert Severity	Defines Alert Severity.	Match monitor’s health

Enabled	Enables or disables the workflow.	Yes
Generates Alerts	Defines whether the workflow generates an Alert.	No
Interval (seconds)	The recurring interval of time in seconds in which to run the workflow.	600
Synchronization Time	The synchronization time specified by using a 24-hour format. May be omitted.
Timeout (seconds)	Specifies the time the workflow is allowed to run before being closed and marked as failed.	300
Timeout for query execution (seconds)	The workflow will fail and register an event, if the query execution takes longer than the specified period.	60
