Make sure to have an active Object Analyzer account and have it listed under your organization. This means you will have access to the same snapshots as the rest of your team.
Snapshots are necessary in order to use the Job Queue Monitor. If you want to know how snapshots are created for Object Analyzer, view our detailed get started with snapshots tutorial.
You do not have to upload any objects, when creating your snapshot. Simply mark “create without objects”, while creating a snapshot for the Job Queue Monitor.
