Doc Summary 
Swedish Business Central view name: Background Monitor Log
The Background Monitor Log records all actions performed by the Background Job Queue Monitor in Microsoft Business Central.
This view is used to:
- Track failed or non-responsive Job Queue Entries
- See what action the monitor took (restart, retry, etc.)
- Verify when and why a job was handled by the monitor
Every time the monitor detects an issue such as a job entering Error state or exceeding its maximum runtime a log entry is created.
What is logged? #
A log entry is created when:
- A Job Queue Entry enters Error
- A job exceeds the configured runtime threshold
- The monitor restarts or otherwise handles a job
- An alarm condition is triggered from Table Monitor Entries
The log reflects what happened, why it happened and what the monitor did in response.
