Per group notifications
If I look in the database, I get this:
MariaDB [traccar]> select * from notifications;
+----+--------------+------------+------+------+------+--------+
| id | type | attributes | web | mail | sms | always |
+----+--------------+------------+------+------+------+--------+
| 10 | deviceOnline | {} | | | | |
| 19 | deviceOnline | {} | | | | |
| 20 | deviceOnline | {} | | | | |
| 25 | deviceOnline | {} | | | | |
+----+--------------+------------+------+------+------+--------+
The last one is the one where I configured the deviceOnline not for every device. Is it normal that all the fields look empty?
MySQL and MariaDB command line tools always have problems with showing BOOLEAN values. One possible solution here.
Actually, it's not BOOLEAN, which is why there is a display problem
MariaDB [traccar]> describe notifications;
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| id | int(11) | NO | PRI | NULL | auto_increment |
| type | varchar(128) | NO | | NULL | |
| attributes | varchar(4000) | YES | | NULL | |
| web | bit(1) | YES | | b'0' | |
| mail | bit(1) | YES | | b'0' | |
| sms | bit(1) | YES | | b'0' | |
| always | bit(1) | NO | | b'0' | |
+------------+---------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
I am not sure there is any improvement storing this kind of value as a BIT instead of a BOOLEAN, there should be storage padding anyway.
There is no Boolean type in MySQL. Bit is what liquibase uses instead of Boolean.
well, yes and no :) There is no bit storage based boolean, but there is a boolean, which will print fine.
MariaDB [test]> create table test (t BOOLEAN);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec)
MariaDB [test]> describe test;
+-------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+-------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| t | tinyint(1) | YES | | NULL | |
+-------+------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
Anyway, this doesn't really help with my primary issue, which is being unable to make notifications based on a group. Did you already see this issue, am I supposed to be able to make notifications based on groups?
Here is my original query with the correct display:
MariaDB [traccar]> select id,type,hex(web),hex(mail),hex(sms),hex(always) from notifications;
+----+--------------+----------+-----------+----------+-------------+
| id | type | hex(web) | hex(mail) | hex(sms) | hex(always) |
+----+--------------+----------+-----------+----------+-------------+
| 10 | deviceOnline | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 19 | deviceOnline | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 20 | deviceOnline | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 25 | deviceOnline | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
+----+--------------+----------+-----------+----------+-------------+
It should work as long as you linked it to the group and device is in that group.
Well, it does not work, that's my issue. How could I trace the cause? Note that it's not only for mail, if I check web based notifications, they also won't work unless "all devices" is selected.
Can I have access to the account to take a look?
I have enabled registration, so you can create yourself an account on https://traccar.arnor.org
Well, I wanted to check if you configured everything correctly in your account.
Maybe you can try to create one to see if you can replicate the problem on the same server. In case you are not, I would be able to see what you did different to me.
This would also help you check for https://github.com/tananaev/traccar/issues/3735

To not spread discussion...
I've checked it on my test environment and it works fine.
Have all used in process objects linked to you? Device, Notification, Group?
Hello,
I have set up a new notification of "device online", checked "send via mail" and unchecked "all devices".
Then I created a group named "mail when online" and assigned it the former notification.
I did put one device in that group.
But I do not receive any email when that device becomes online. Is there something missing in what I did?
PS: mail notifications work fine if "all devices" is checked, but I don't wnat them for all devices.
Thank you
