Clearing DirectAdmin Notifications: tickets.list File

DirectAdmin control panel stores system alerts and notifications in the /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/tickets.list file. Over time, this file can grow very large and contain hundreds of thousands of entries. This may cause:

  • Slower panel loading times

  • Unnecessary disk usage

  • Extra load on disk I/O

Solution

To clear the accumulated notifications, run the following command:

 
cd /usr/local/directadmin/data/admin && echo -n "" > tickets.list

This command empties the tickets.list file and removes all notifications. It does not harm your server or the DirectAdmin service.

Recommendation

  • Perform this cleanup periodically to maintain system performance.

  • For convenience, you can set up a cron job to run this command automatically at scheduled intervals.
