This script is taken from Thomas LaRock, and I'm shamelessly modifying it a little… just a little.

/*============================================= Author: Thomas LaRock, http://thomaslarock.com/contact-me/ MODIFIED AND ADAPTED BY MIGUEL QUINTANA 01/27/2017 Summary: This script will check to see if any currently running jobs are running long. Variables: @MinHistExecutions - Minimum number of job runs we want to consider @MinAvgSecsDuration - Threshold for minimum duration we care to monitor @HistoryStartDate - Start date for historical average @HistoryEndDate - End date for historical average These variables allow for us to control a couple of factors. First we can focus on jobs that are running long enough on average for us to be concerned with (say, 30 seconds or more). Second, we can avoid being alerted by jobs that have run so few times that the average and standard deviations are not quite stable yet. This script leaves these variables at 1.0, but I would advise you alter them upwards after testing. Returns: One result set containing a list of jobs that are currently running and are running longer than two standard deviations away from their historical average. The "Min Threshold" column represents the average plus two standard deviations.
