A typical Job Monitor window showing all major sections.

The Job Monitor is the primary location for doing the most common actions in SQL Agent Insight. Job Monitor will display all of the jobs being monitored for the particular instance of SQL Server® and provides a vast number of actions that can be performed on a job or a set of jobs. Some of this functionality is unique to SQL Agent Insight and does not reside in the SQL Server® Management Studio (SSMS). More on that later.
