Troubleshooting Notifications

The default lifetime of notification messages is 30 days, after which messages are deleted from the database, regardless of read status. To change this value, add or edit this line in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf:

java.notifications_lifetime = 30

To enable or disable a notification type, add or edit a line as follows in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf:

java.notifications_type_disabled = OnboardingFailed,ChannelSyncFailed,\
  ChannelSyncFinished,CreateBootstrapRepoFailed,StateApplyFailed,\
  PaygAuthenticationUpdateFailed,EndOfLifePeriod,SubscriptionWarning

For default settings and configuration options, see the usr/share/rhn/config-defaults/rhn_java.conf template file.
