Scheduled agent did not run last night, no log entry as to why

A daily agent scheduled every evening has been running without fail.

Last night it didn’t.

It was run manually this AM so the agent log properties shows this AM’s running.

The server log does not list any errors at or around the time it was to run.

Any idea what may have happened and/or how to troubleshoot?

TIA,

There is a limit to the number of agent that the server can run concurrently. Maybe yesterday was a heavy day for the agent manager and it simply did not get to your scheduled agent because preceding agents took up all the time? If your agent manager just did not have time to run your agent, there would be nothing in the log, as it would not even have tried. Just an idea…

Maybe check the agent manager schedule? From memory, the command is “tell amgr sched” and check the workload of your agent manager schedule.

take a look at the schedule in the agent properties and see if maybe it has the “Stop running on this date” enabled. If there was nothing in the server log showing that the agent ran or failed then my guess would be that the scheduler never picked it up for some reason. Also check the “server to run on” and make sure it’s set correctly. I know these are pretty straight fwd but often the simplest of explanations is overlooked.

“server to run on” was set to “Any Server”

I set it to the server name itself and it ran last night.

Will continue to monitor

thanks for the tips
