Windows Scheduled Task Monitoring: 

 

Do Anyone created a Custom DS to discover the Windows Scheduled Task from the host device and monitor for the job failures ?

Have you taken a look at the JobMonitor feature?  There is an example detailing monitoring for Windows Scheduler tasks.

Don’t know of any. You could setup a job monitor. You could automate that through the API.

I would be interested in a custom datasource for the Windows Task Scheduler as well. The requirements behind my request are to alert when a scheduled task is disabled / enabled. It doesn’t look like there is anything for this today and the scope of a job monitor isn’t a fit for this either.

Shouldn’t be too tough to build. Just reference this example. Adjust the script block so that instead of running Get-ChildItem, it runs Get-ScheduledTask instead.
