SQL Server job error on email notification


I have configured a database email, operators, and such on my SQL managed instance, to receive an email when a job fails.

In the email, we get something like this "The yyy_job failed on step 3".

But my question is... Is there a way to add the error message on the body of the email? I've been searching for this, but can't fine a suitable answer.

Thank you in advance


Solution

  • As far as I know there's no way to add further details to the email notifications when a job fails.

    The only way is to implement your own notification process.
