How to Find SQL Agent Tasks and Schedules

The below script is a convenient way to check on your SQL Server Agent tasks, frequency in which they run, last successful completion as well as the task run times to help identify whether these tasks might correlate with other performance issues being experienced in the environment.

USE msdb
Go
SELECT dbo.sysjobs.Name AS 'Job Name',
'Job Enabled' = CASE dbo.sysjobs.Enabled
WHEN 1 THEN 'Yes'
WHEN 0 THEN 'No'
END,
'Frequency' = CASE dbo.sysschedules.freq_type
WHEN 1 THEN 'Once'
WHEN 4 THEN 'Daily'
WHEN 8 THEN 'Weekly'
WHEN 16 THEN 'Monthly'
WHEN 32 THEN 'Monthly relative'
WHEN 64 THEN 'When SQLServer Agent starts'
END,
'Start Date' = CASE active_start_date
WHEN 0 THEN null
ELSE
substring(convert(varchar(15),active_start_date),1,4) + '/' +
substring(convert(varchar(15),active_start_date),5,2) + '/' +
substring(convert(varchar(15),active_start_date),7,2)
END,
'Start Time' = CASE len(active_start_time)
WHEN 1 THEN cast('00:00:0' + right(active_start_time,2) as char(8))
