I have seen a few feature requests for notifications, but I'm hoping a more focused approach will help get some traction. Notifications are needed for one main reason: Unexpected behavior. Adding additional things to notifications can be follow-up features, but basic notifications on unexpected er…

It's an interesting idea. I don't see it happening any time soon because we just don't have the resources to be able to do it.

[image] jfb: Related to this example, the output of the weekly unattended gravity update is stored in a log for your review at any time until the next unattended gravity update. This is a good example of why notifications triggered by failures are needed. A user shouldn't need to dig through…

Logs are meant to be read, which is why the log is retained. We provide a line by line output in the manual gravity update, and few people actually look at that output either.

I think you guys are missing the point I'm making. You spend a lot of time looking at the gui, and logs, because you spend a lot of time working on the app. The overwhelming majority of users don't do that, and shouldn't need to. Pihole should (and does) work very well without any user interventi…

I understand your point and I've replied to that already. We're making you aware of other options that you can make use of in the meantime. I don't expect any kind of push notification system to be possible in the next 6 months at least.

Pi-hole is a DNS server. Your network doesn't work with a non-functioning DNS server. Putting in a few minutes a day or even a week isn't too much to ask of you for maintaining the free to you software. Do you have a system that updates the software packages and the operating system? Does it tell y…

[image] jrucker: Yes, Ansible Which is a push system that reads logs (or command output) to see what actions to take. And could be set up to look at the logs we write, determine if there's a condition that needs alerting to and then alert you to it? Edit: https://www.middlewareinventory.com/…
