Monitor active jobs

There's a parameter inactiveJobs which checks for specific non-running jobs, but my customer would like to check also for specific running jobs, in the scenario where jobs are running that should not be running. We opened case TS018898330 and got the recommendation to work with the 'jobs' parameter and create an event in Instana, but this does not work as expected (there's a delay to close the event of 30 minutes). Having a built-in feature to monitor running jobs would be more suitable
