KEDA job scaler is not working properly

Question

I have a job being triggered by a KEDA custom scaler (azure-queue). It was working properly. It stopped working. Now messages are piling up in the queue and no job execution is being triggered. Checked the system logs and there's no error messages from KEDA.

Hi Rhuan Barreto,

Ensure that your ScaledObject is still configured correctly.
Even though you mentioned there are no error messages, keep an eye on KEDA’s logs. Use kubectl logs on the KEDA operator pod to see if there are any warning messages or clues as to why it isn’t scaling.
Verify the queue name hasn't changed. Check if the queue storage account was modified.
Check if your Job controller (e.g., Argo Workflows, Kubernetes Jobs) is functioning:

kubectl get jobs -n <your-namespace>

Check for authentication or metrics calculation issues. Look for Errors connecting to Azure Storage or calculating queue length.
