# Failed jobs monitor

This monitor checks if there are new jobs that have failed. The monitor will trigger an alert as soon as it detects that there is a job at the top of the failed jobs that have not triggered an alarm before.

{% hint style="danger" %}
For this monitor to work properly you need to keep at least 1 failed job in your queues with the removeOnFailed option set to false, which is the default, or to a number equal or larger than 1.
{% endhint %}

Since it is not uncommon that when one job fails several others fail too, the monitor will not trigger new alerts until the existing triggered alert is acknowledged.

{% hint style="info" %}
The alerts are triggered per queue, so you can have many alerts in the "triggered" status belonging to different queues.
{% endhint %}
