====== Debugging of notifications  ======



Notifications are stored in an SQLite database and should only be accessed by the provided notification functions. 

====== Set test notifications ======

Use these simple code snippets in a Perl (.pl) script to use notify and notify_ext. Place the script in your plugin directory.

**notify** Quelle erweitern

<code syntaxhighlighter-pre>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LoxBerry::Log;
$LoxBerry::Log::DEBUG = 1; # Outputs more info

my $package = $lbpplugindir;
my $group = "test";
my $message = "This is a test notification";
my $severity = 'err'; # comment out to set an info notification

notify ( $package, $group, $message, $severity);
</code>



**notify_ext** Quelle erweitern

<code syntaxhighlighter-pre>
#!/usr/bin/perl
use LoxBerry::Log;
$LoxBerry::Log::DEBUG = 1; # Outputs more info

my $package = $lbpplugindir;
my $group = "test";
my $message = "This is a test notification";
my $severity = 3; # 3 is error, 6 is info

my %notification = (
            PACKAGE => $package,
            NAME => $name,
            MESSAGE => $message,
            SEVERITY => $severity,
            someproperty => "Something",
            LOGFILE => "$lbpplugindir/system_tmpfs/apache2/error.log"
    );
my $status = LoxBerry::Log::notify_ext( \%notification );
</code>



====== View all notifications ======

There are two web tools integrated in LoxBerry to show current notifications:

==== showallnotifications ====

This will display notifications as users would see it on the screen, but without filters for package and name.

http://loxberry/admin/system/tools/showallnotifications.cgi

As the function get_notifications_html only returns notifications with severity 3 = error and 6 = info, no other severities are shown.

==== showrawnotifications ====

The RAW tool will show all notifications, without any filters for package, name and severity. It also displays notifications other than severity 3 = error and 6 = info, and shows all known attributes.

http://loxberry/admin/system/tools/showrawnotifications.cgi

====== Database ======

The database is located in $lbsdatadir/notifications_sqlite.dat

If you delete the file, it will be recreated on the next notification with it's initial settings. Additional to the notifications, you may loose notification settings or helper notifications (e.g. the last notified LoxBerry Update version).
