The DBSS_Jobs_Failed rule generically checks for job failures. I want to copy the rule and set up a rule to monitor a single job containing the string %backup% in the job name.
Hello Randy,
to exclude specific jobs from the rule, you can use the DB administration dashboard - see screen shot below.
You find the DB Administration on the DB Overview dashboard. Select the agent you want to do the change for and then click on "Settings | Administration".
To create a new rule base on an existing one, you need to open the dashboard "Administration | Rules & Notification | Rules". Now find the needed rule and click on the name. A context menu opens and you can select copy. Next a window will open where you can modify the rule.
Click on the Rule Definition tab and change the rule scope. The rule is scoping on object DBSS_Agent_Job_List and this object contain a property called job_name. So you can change the scope, for example
To exclude a specific job:
DBSS_Agent_Job_List where job_name !like '%backup%'
To trigger rule only for specific job:
DBSS_Agent_Job_List where job_name !like '%backup%'
To check if the scoping works properly click on the green check mark.
Here are 2 example screen shots.
Default scope:
Changed scope to exclude a job:
I hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Nicola
