Overview

By design, UDT almost enabled all events after 2026.1.1, causing a flood of events in the events view.

Example:

UDT Port Enabled - EventType = 6210

UDT Port Shutdown - EventType = 6211

What this does:

  • Mute = true mutes the event type.
  • Record = false stops it from being written normally to events
  • Notify = false disables notification on that event type. .
