[Feature Request] Email upon coming close to quota

[ser72]

Requesting a feature that does the following:

1. Allow admin (or user) to configure a percentage whereby they will be warned if reached -- ie if they hit 80% of their quota (where they configure the 80%)
2. Email the user and perhaps the admin when a user hits that threshold.

Current operation has a warning message on the WebUI when some threshold is met -- however, that threshold doesn't seem to be configurable and no email is sent.

We are about to implement a hook system for a customer which will allow to call web hooks for exactly this case.
I'd consider a web hook based approach better in terms of flexibility and expandability.

@MTRichards @karlitschek objections? I should be capable to come up with a specification until mid of February.

[karlitschek]

I'm removing the Engineering flag. This is only for bugs. Requests like this should be tracked in the roadmap/feature requests.

@DeepDiver1975 A Webhook system only makes sense if there is a second system that receives the hocks and does the right thing. So I'm not completely sure if this system alone solves problems. But I'm looking forward to your proposal :-)

For more details see the duplicate ticket: owncloud/activity#105

@MTRichards @cmonteroluque I have moved this to 9.2 as we're past feature freeze.

The open question was whether this needs to be an activity or notification.

[MTRichards]

I would say a notification, it is not all that frequent, has a major impact on usage, and can't get lost in activity stream.

I agree

This would obsolete the web UI notification "Storage is almost full" and would help get rid of the old ajax "getstoragestats" call: owncloud/core#26067 (owncloud/core#26070 (comment))

[PVince81]

Note that notifications currently do not send emails, but that could be another extension for the notifications app. A user would need to be able to specify which type of notifications they want to receive also by email.

[PVince81]

Since OC 10.0.8 the notifications app has the ability to send out emails for received notifications. It does so only if the notification contains an action though.

This means we could now go ahead and implement a notification for when quota is reached.

Welcome to implement this in the notifications app.
