3. What I Wanted
More Options
Per job category
Per job
Different threshold for success/failure
Default value

4. Create a driving table and populate

5. Create view for Job and JobHistory
CREATEVIEW [dbo].[v_sysjobs]
AS
SELECT CASE c.category_id
WHEN 0THEN NULL
ELSE c.name
ENDAS CategoryName ,
j.job_id AS job_id ,
j.name AS JobName
FROM msdb..sysjobs j
JOIN msdb..syscategories c ON
j.category_id = c.category_id;
CREATEVIEW [dbo].[v_sysjobhistory]
AS
SELECT instance_id ,
job_id ,
run_date ,
run_time ,
run_status
FROM msdb..sysjobhistory;

6. Create two store procedures
 One will drive
 DBA_sysjobhistory_driver
 One will do the purge
 DBA_sp_jobhistory_row_limiter

7. Schedule a job

8. Fail Safe 30 days
