> **What is Data Job/Job Failure Monitoring?**
>
> It tracks **failed jobs** to identify processing issues, ensuring data pipelines run smoothly:
>
> * Job Failure does not require **manual creation** like other monitors. Instead, it is configured and adjusted separately.
> * This streamlines the user experience and avoids confusion, when and how these monitors should be used.

To effectively detect anomalies in your data transformation, our system offers specialized Data Job/Job Failure monitors. Here's a step-by-step guide to get you started:

1. **Navigate to the Config Page, All Monitors tab:** This is where all monitor types options are available under Test Name column.
2. **Locate the "Job Failure/Data Job" Pill:** Among the various pills, you'll find a pill labeled "Data Job" under the "All Monitors" tab. You can also apply filter for Job failure test name.
3. **Select the "Job Failure/Data Job" Pill:** By selecting this, you'll initiate the modifying monitor setup process for your Data Job/Job Failure monitor
