Refining notification rule suppresses them all

English General
1

I’m setting up my TS-673A and wanting to reduce the number of notifications I get. Initally I set up a rule in Notification Center where everything was selected with the rules global ‘Select All’ box checked and which notified me via email. This works and I get tons of notifications. I then edited the rule by unchecking the rules global ‘Select All’ and setting each items ‘Select All’ with a view to eventually being able refine notifications by selecting sub-items. This also works, ie I get the same deluge of notifications as before.

I then started to refine my notifications. The first thing I did was deselect all ‘App Center’ notification except ‘App Update’. When I applied this all notifcation appear to stop. When I look at the Notification Center event log I see a notification to do with this edit of the notification rule but in the history log there is no corresponding entry. More importantly Snapshot notifications have stopped.

I’ve searched the posts here for a clue but can’t see anything - I can’t believe this is a bug no one has seen before so I guess I am doing something wrong. Any clues on what to look for or places to investigate in the OS?

Firmware is 5.2.5.3145, Populated with 4 Seagate Ironwolf 4TB drives, 24GB RAM.

Thanks

If you simply want to receive notifications about snapshots, you can enable snapshot-related notifications directly in Notification Center.

Hi Steve - thanks for your reply. I think you misunderstood the problem I am having. What I want to do is to refine notifications to a just a few sources by setting up a rule where I have selected just those that I want. What I have discovered is that when I try to do this by unchecking the items I don’t want in the rule all notifcations seem to get suppresed.

I used to be a Unix sys admin so I’ve comfortable grep’ing and awk’ing in a console window - can you point me to the config etc files associated with the Notification Center so that I can dig below the surface of the GUI?

Thanks
