[SOLVED] cant disable email notifications for successful sync job

[SigmundSeegras]

Hello,

I'm trying to set notifications to only be send on error, warn, unknown severity. But I get an email on every successful sync.

If I set the severity to error, warn I still get an email.
Even if I disable all matchers and all targets, I still get an email for successful sync.
I don't get an email for other successful jobs like prune.

Looking at the email headers I noticed that the email was sent directly from the pbs server, and not as intended through the smtp target.

Looking at the syslog in the administration page, I can't see anything at the time of my tests.

Did you set "Notification Mode" in datastore options to "Notification system"?

 

[SigmundSeegras]

No, Notification mode was set to Default (Email). After changing that to Notification system, the notifications are sent properly according to the matchers.

Thanks, I wasn't aware there was a notification setting on the datastore. I will read the docs more thoroughly in the future.

Glad I could help. Thanks for setting the thread status to "resolved".
