Long Running Job Steps in Microsoft SQL Server


/*=============================================
Variables:
@MinHistExecutions - Minimum number of job step executions we want to consider
@MinAvgSecsDuration - Threshold for minimum job step duration we care to monitor
@HistoryStartDate - Start date for historical average
@HistoryEndDate - End date for historical average

Returns: One result set containing a list of job steps that are currently running and are running longer than two standard deviations away from their historical average. The "Min Threshold" column represents the average plus two standard deviations.

note [1] - comment this line and note [2] line if you want to report on all history for job steps
note [2] - comment just this line is you want to report on running and non-running job steps
