False "tampering" alarms with Seeworld R12L Pro device

Luis S. 5 months ago

I’m experiencing a persistent issue with tampering events appearing in the Traccar web interface, even though there is no actual physical manipulation of the device. The device in question is a Seeworld R12L Pro, which is correctly connected to the server.

Technical details:
Traccar version: 6.8.1
Port used: 5023 (GT06)
Device: Seeworld R12L Pro
Protocol: GT06 (or a similar variant)

Event log:

2025-08-02 00:08:38  INFO: [Taa876056: gt06 < 186.11.30.231] 78780a134506420c020018c2cf0d0a
2025-08-02 00:08:38  INFO: Event id: 353994711967478, time: 2025-08-02 00:08:38, type: alarm, notifications: 0

This packet (type 0x13) apparently triggers an alarm event that is then displayed as tampering, even though no tampering has actually occurred with the device.

You can remove it using computed attributes.

I’ve already tried several configuration options in the traccar.xml file to suppress the tampering alarm, but none of them have worked in my case. Here's what I added:

<entry key='filter.ignoreAlarm'>tampering</entry>
<entry key='event.ignorable'>tampering</entry>

OK. Provide the link to the official documentation where you found these parameters and we can go from there.

How do you solve with calculated attributes?
