Today when I tried to troubleshoot a failed job, I found out that the job history is disappreared. Some jobs' history still exist. Does anybody have idea what happened? How can I fix it?

Thanks a lot.

Sql only keeps 1000 history entries by default, but you can change it in sql agent properties.

I already checked the sql agent's properties. Some jobs' history keep growing, but some jobs'totally gone.

By the way, it's not per job. Sql saves most recent 1000 job histories on the server by default.
