Events & Notifications not working

Hey traccar-community,

I know, this question is asked a few times already but i still did not get events and therefore notifications, to work.

what i did:

• i setup email nofitications and tested the transmission (testmail) which worked.
• i added geofences (settings - notifications)
• i added notifications (settings - notifications) for actions like entering geofences and device movements.
• i linked the geofences and the notifications to the device (device - settings - notifications - checkboxes)
• i also tried enabling "all devices" in the settings - notifications window.

now i have a device which reports movements. i can see the movement after creating a report of actions. Also i can position the device in the geofence.

but i do not get any events in the event pane and i do not get any emails. is there any setting to enable notifications and/or events for my user or serverwide?

Has your device moved in or out the geofence? Have you checked if events are generated?

it moved in and out several times multiple geofences. How do i check if events are generated beside the pane in the web GUI? the web interface doesn't show any events whatsoever.

Events report.

the events report shows me no "geofence related" stuff but shows me "device in motion" which also should trigger an event according to my configuration which it does not.

i forgot to mention my version: i use 4.14 inside a docker container.

It sounds like everything is correct, so it should be working.

this is driving me crazy because everything looks like it should. this is my docker run-command:

docker run \
-d --restart always \
--name traccar \
--hostname traccar \
-p 8088:8082 \
-p 5023:5023 \
-p 5023:5023/udp \
--ip 172.17.0.2 \
-v "$local_path"/persistent_data/logs:/opt/traccar/logs:rw \
-v "$local_path"/persistent_data/traccar.xml:/opt/traccar/conf/traccar.xml:ro \
-v "$local_path"/persistent_data/data:/opt/traccar/data:rw \
-v "$local_path"/persistent_data/default.xml:/opt/traccar/conf/default.xml:rw \
traccar/traccar:4.14

default.xml is stock from the container. I did not modify it.

traccar.xml looks like: (i anonymized the telegram- and mail-settings. mail is working.)
also i tried to add

<entry key='event.enable'>true</entry>

which doesnt seem to do anything.

default.xml

<properties>
    <entry key='config.default'>./conf/default.xml</entry>
    <!--

@mrpurple

How about adding this to default.xml

<entry key='filter.skipAttributes.enable'>true</entry>
<entry key='filter.skipAttributes'>alarm,event,status</entry>

thank you for your help @Track-trace. I added the lines, nothing changed. :(

When the device goes offline or comes online. Then you see that in the event window ?

no, i dont get eny events what so ever.

I can do a report for any timefrime, for example "today" and i do get lines which state "online" and "offline" but i dont get any events.

tracking works perfectly fine also. i am using two zx303 tracker and they track my gps-postitions without any problems.

@mrpurple you might an make screenshot from webinterface. Which show your Settings / Notification window. Upload it some where for instance to https://imgbb.com/upload

And the link it here so we can see your settings.

thank you. do you need any more screenshots?

Click on your device as shown here.

Then click on the settings above (red circle). Then click on Notifications from that menu. Check that everything is assigned to your device.
Like geofence in and Geofence out. Is that true ?
