In this post, I am sharing a list of important system tables to find information about the SQL Server Agent.

These system tables are very useful for a Database Administrator to find out different information about the SQL Job, Alerts and Operators.

The MSDB contains all SQL Server Agent information in the following tables.

Stores information about the alerts:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysalerts

Stores information about current SQL Server Agent job activity and status:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobactivity

Stores information about the execution of scheduled jobs by SQL Server Agent:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory

Stores information for each scheduled job to be executed by SQL Server Agent:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobs

Stores schedule information for jobs to be executed by SQL Server Agent:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobschedules

Stores information about each step of the jobs:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobsteps

Stores information about job step logs:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysjobstepslogs

Stores information about SQL Server Agent operator:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysoperators

Stores information about SQL Server Agent job schedules:

SELECT *FROM msdb.dbo.sysschedules
