Overview
This is a OneAgent extension running on Windows servers. Every minute, the extension interrogates the system for details about your configured scheduled tasks and sends Dynatrace the current state each task is in along with the time that passed since their last executions.
A problem is created automatically for any task which registered an operational failure (failed to launch, execute, or complete). Additionally, problems can also be enabled for tasks which are taking longer than expected to complete or ones which have missed their expected scheduled execution.
Use cases
- Track the state of scheduled tasks
- Alert on failed executions, hanging tasks, and missed runs
Compatibility information
- Microsoft Windows 2012 R12 and newer.
- Minimum OneAgent version 1.275.0
