editing cpanel email notification priority levels from command line

[baypan]

hello all, this is my first post here
so, i was trying to edit the priorities for the email notifications that i receive.
i edited > /var/cpanel/icontact_event_importance.json
and after that which service should i restart to make changes applied?
by the way, my main goal is to disable some notification types. i thought lowering the priority can disable the email notification, but that can be wrong. correct me if i'm wrong. i know this can be done very easily through cpanel itself, but i want to achieve this from command line

@baypan - thanks for posting, and welcome!

No services need to be restarted when editing this file, as it is a flat text file that gets read as necessary by cPanel.

Lowering the priority doesn't necessarily disable email notifications. In the main page at WHM >> Contact Manager, you could have "All" set to "Email" and that would mean that any priority level would still trigger an email notification.

Let me know if you need anything else!

I believe those details you're looking for can be found in the discussion here: https://features.cpanel.net/topic/ability-to-edit-contact-manager-options-via-command-line

actually i have seen this thread, but it does not suit my case. there is no "clevels.conf" and "iclevels.conf" files at /var/cpanel/ directory at my server
my server is centos 7
maybe it is located somewhere else on centos7?

The files are not dependent on the operating system, but /var/cpanel/clevels.conf doesn't exist until you have made a modification in WHM >> Contact Manager. I don't have a way to generate that file from scratch without using the interface at least once. You may not have the iclevels.conf file at all, which is fine.

i've found a solution,
i have edited the icontact_event_importance.json file and made the priority to low (4) and cpanel stopped sending notification for that specific event.
hope this will help who looks for managing the cpanel notifications from command line.
