I left unRAID alone for a couple of days, and have come back to a huge stream of notifications, many of them duplicates. To make matters worse, the "close all notifications" link only closes the four that are currently visible.

 

Is there a way to make unRAID handle duplicate notifications better? For example, if there is already a notification saying "disk 1 is high on usage" in the queue of unread notifications, it could simply update the timestamp rather than adding a second notification that I have to dismiss. Similarly, only the most recent array health report needs to be shown provided the status is [PASS].

 

It would also be more accurate if the link read "close all visible notifications" — ideally there would also be a link which took me to a page which just listed all notifications on one page, from which they could all be closed in one go, rather than by pages of 4 at a time.

 

As it is, the notification system seems pretty unusable for people who don't spend all day with unRAID open in a browser window, as they're having to spend 5–10 minutes repeatedly clicking "close all notifications" — and any notifications that were actually important and non-duplicates might get missed in the middle of that.

 

I do want to be notified about these things, which is why I turned the notifications on — but there's really no need for the duplication!

 

(Incidentally, warning of a drive getting full when it's only 70% full seems a trifle premature for XFS — I'd rather set this at 90%. Is that possible?)

 

Thanks

 

Go to 'Main' and left-click on the disk that you want to change the the notification on.  You will find the settings that you are looking for under Disk(#) Settings. 

 

Be sure to turn on Help to see what the settings do and the parameter options.  (You can actually disable the notification on disk full if you want.)

Fantastic — thanks 

So I left the browser window open overnight, and now I have a continuous loop of notifications giving the array health and telling me a new version of unRAID is available. This continues until I navigate away from the main page. I have status notifications set to once a week.

 

The little arrow on the right of the notification does mean to dismiss it and not just to hide it and bring it back again later, right?

 

I can't see anything in the notification settings that would make them keep coming back like this…

 

(If I send notifications to Pushover, I only get each one once through that…)
