Job Activity Monitor (Filter Settings)

Applies to: SQL Server

Use this page to reduce the number of rows visible in the Job Activity Monitor. Enter criteria in one or several of the available boxes, to show only the rows that meet the specified values. Some of the boxes, such as Status or Blocking Type offer a finite number of possible values, provided by a dropdown list. Others, such as Application, allow you to enter whatever value and as many values as you wish, as a comma separated list. Toolbar icons allow you to sort the available boxes by category or alphabetically. Select the criteria to show a short description of each one.

To filter the Job Activity Monitor, provide as many filter criteria as you want, select Apply filter, and then select OK.
