Recently the Agent on our production server has exhibited a condition where the agent history is missing on around 80% of our jobs. The jobs still run but no history, we have cycled the services, rebooted etc but nothing rememdies the issue.

Has anyone else ever ecountered this with SS and if so do you have a solution?

How many job histories do you keep? Default is 1000.

Correct - there is 1000 rows within dbo.sysjobhistory. Around the same time as the problem manifested itself I setup 14 applications to Log Ship every 15 minutes; so has the increased volume on executed jobs breached a threshold which it can store?

I have increased the default history row count within the SQL Agent Properties - www.mssqltips.com/tip.asp?tip=1269
