More that one notification per plugin?

[Martin Stevnhoved]

Hi MMSOFT.

Is it somehow possible to generate more individual notifications from the same plugin, without using allowMultipleNotifications.

It is not hard to imagine that a plugin would have to monitor two or more individual values.

If it is not possible, consider this a feature request :-)

Best Regards,
Martin.

Hi Martin,

This isn't supported yet but it's a great idea! We will consider it for the future.

Hi,

perhaps you should introduce something like a "Notification ID" to detect wether the notification has been shown before or not.

This is indeed the limitation I most run into when developing plugins.

Hi Martin,

We will be adding an optional string argument which allows you to specify a unique ID to the notification.

Hi Paul,

Do you have some timeframe for this new addition?

Just to know if I should wait with my plugin ideas, or revrite them late.

Hi Martin,

This got released in yesterday's Windows Agent 5.3 release. Documentation is yet to be updated but you should find a new overload for the SendNotificationToAllDevices method with the new PCMonitorClient.dll.

Hi Paul.

Can you help me to find the documentation for different notifications?

Quote

https://www.pulseway.com/en/api/clientnet?tutorialSubItem=interface
void SendNotificationToAllDevices(string message, NotificationPriority priority, bool allowMultipleNotifications = false)
"After one notification is sent you can send another one only after the first one is deleted using a client application, unless allowMultipleNotifications is true."

I need the default option (without allowMultipleNotifications) to work with different notifications.

I guess it should be possible to add som kind of notification_id.

Hi Paul.

I found it myself:

void SendNotificationToAllDevices(string message, NotificationPriority priority, bool allowMultipleNotifications, string notificationIdentifier)

Are there any more hidden gems, not mentioned in the docs?

[Martin Stevnhoved]

Hi again @Paul.

How does CanSendNotifications work together with notificationIdentifier?

[Paul]

There is an overload that includes the notificationIdentifier. If the notificationIdentifier it's passed it will tell you if you can send another notification with that non-repeating notification identifier:
