Hi Michael,<br />
Can you post a few of the emails? If the &quot;loads of emails&quot; have varying formats, it would be helpful to see what the different formats are. Be sure not to post anything with private/sensitive info in it. Regards, Joe

How about an email filter/rule that looks for the sender in the <b>From</b> field (which I'm sure is always the same for those notification emails) and <b>fail</b> (or whatever failure indicator string that makes sense) in the <b>Body</b>. I know this is doable in Outlook (Rules) and Thunderbird (Filters) — what email client do you use?

This will still not cover &quot;alert me if any do not arrive on schedule&quot;, and that part is the hard one. It requires to read out the schedule of tasks or MSSQL Agent jobs, and whether the execution was triggered, and the task / job completed with mail.

Thanks for your comments. I came across a system called pushmon but that requires pings to a specified url. Unless I could find some way of getting the emails received to trigger the pings.... &nbsp;Thanks. Michael

Is there a service that will monitor scheduled jobs emails?

Network Management involves issues that are independent of specific hardware or software, including email policies, upgrade planning, backup scheduling and working with managed service providers for Desktop-As-A-Service (DaaS), Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) and the like through the use of tools, coupled with manufacturer standards, best practice guidelines, policies and procedures plus all other relevant documentation. Network management also includes monitoring, alerting and reporting, management reporting, planning for device or service updates, the backup of configurations, the setting of key performance indicators and measures (KPIs/KPMs), associated service level agreements and problem records as part of the IT Service Management (ITSM) framework.

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.
