Notification Messages
The page allows you to manage your notification messages of the SUSE Manager server.
The default lifetime of notification messages is 30 days, after which messages are deleted from the database, regardless of read status.
You can configure the amount of time in /etc/rhn/rhn.conf:
# Configure the lifetime of notification messages in days java.notifications_lifetime = 30
All notification types are enabled by default.
To disable a notification type, open the /etc/rhn/rhn.conf configuration file and edit the java.notifications_type_disabled parameter:
# Configure the disablement of notification messages by type - example disabling all notification types java.notifications_type_disabled = OnboardingFailed,ChannelSyncFailed,ChannelSyncFinished
