Job Queue Entry Integration

Job Queue Admin monitors all job queue entries by default. No configuration needed - just install, set up channels, and start receiving notifications.

Monitor All by Default​

After installing Job Queue Admin, all your job queue entries are automatically monitored. This means:

  • No per-job configuration required - everything works immediately

  • Failed jobs trigger notifications - sent to your configured channels

  • Auto-restart rules apply - to all jobs matching rule patterns

You only need to create exclusions for jobs you don't want monitored.

Job Queue Entry Card​

When you open a Job Queue Entry Card, you'll see a Monitoring section:

How Monitoring Works​

Job Queue Entry Fails | v +-------------------------------+ | Is Extension Enabled? | +---------------+---------------+ | Yes v +-------------------------------+ | Is job excluded? | | (Config exists with | | Enabled = false) | +---------------+---------------+ | No (default) v +-------------------------------+ | Check maintenance windows | +---------------+---------------+ | Not suppressed v +-------------------------------+ | Check throttling limits | +---------------+---------------+ | Pass v +-------------------------------+ | Send notification to channels | +-------------------------------+

Key Point: Jobs are monitored by default. Only jobs with an explicit exclusion record (Enabled = false) are skipped.

Excluding a Job from Monitoring​

If you have jobs that you don't want monitored (e.g., internal system jobs, test jobs), you can exclude them:

From Job Queue Entry Card​

  1. Open the Job Queue Entry

  2. Click Exclude from Monitoring in the Job Queue Admin action group

  3. The job will no longer trigger notifications

From Job Queue Entries List​

  1. Select the job in the list

  2. Click Exclude from Monitoring in the Job Queue Admin action group

  3. The "Monitored" column will change to "Excluded"

Re-Including an Excluded Job​

To re-enable monitoring for a previously excluded job:

  1. Select the job

  2. Click Include in Monitoring

  3. The exclusion record is deleted, and the job returns to default monitoring

Job Queue Exclusions & Overrides Page​

For bulk management of exclusions, use the Job Queue Exclusions & Overrides page:

  1. Search for "Job Queue Exclusions" in the Business Central search

  2. View all jobs with explicit configurations

  3. Delete records to return jobs to default monitoring

  4. Use "Clear All Exclusions" to remove all exclusions at once

Remember: Jobs not listed here are automatically monitored.

Testing Notifications​

To test that notifications work for a specific job:

  1. Open the Job Queue Entry Card

  2. Click Send Test Notification in the Job Queue Admin action group

  3. Check your notification channels (Teams, Slack, Email)

Note: Test notifications go to all enabled channels.
