Minor: Review of e-mail notifications

[chickensoup]

Hey LT, 

 

I just started using e-mail notifications and it seems to be working well but is a little excessive on some of the classifications. 

 

 

Some of the 'alerts' I get which I would argue should maybe be re-classified are as follows: 

 

• Importance: Warning, Parity check started (this is a monthly scheduled check) - should be Notice
• Importance: normal, Parity check in progress (3%) - 6 sync errors detected. Shouldn't sync errors trigger a Warning? 
• Importance: Warning, Docker application updates - again probably should be a notice, not a warning sent with High Priority. This was also immediately following an OS update, which is why the dockers were out of date

 

These are just a few, I'm sure they probably all need a check over. Perhaps LT could jazz them up a bit with some of that new branding flair at the same time? Obviously the option to choose between fancy and plain text would keep most people happy, I expect. 

 

Just some thoughts. Keep up the great work guys.

Just to add, I had an e-mail saying one of my drives had 1 current pending sector. I wasn't really concerned since I just copied 1.97TB to the 2TB disk and the count hadn't increased. 

 

I check the UI today and notice that there are apparently 30,000 errors on the drives.. but no email notification?

You should have received a notification similar to this:

 

Warning [TOWER] - array has errors
Array has 1 disk with read errors
Disk 16 - WDC_WD40EZRZ-00GXCB0_WD-WCC7K0NAVRKR (sdb) (errors 514256)

I just checked my work inbox since it goes to both - looks like that's my mistake, I did get one with errors (33) and it must have gotten missed in the noise.

 

For some reason I got the pending sector email twice, once at 4.46am and again at 5.07am; same disk, same count.
