With version >= 5.25, the method `Summary.GqlStatusObjects()` returns a list of link:https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/neo4j/neo4j-go-driver/v5/neo4j#GqlStatusObject[`GqlStatusObject`]s.
These are GQL-compliant status objects.

Some (but not all) `GqlStatusObjects` are notifications, whereas some report an _outcome_ status: `00000` for "success", `02000` for "no data", and `00001` for "omitted result".
`Summary.GqlStatusObjects()` always contains at least one entry, containing the outcome status.

=== Filter notifications

By default, the server analyses each query for all categories and severity of notifications.
Starting from version 5.7, you can use the parameters `NotificationsMinSeverity` and/or `NotificationsDisabledCategories` to restrict the severity or category of notifications that you are interested into.
You may disable notifications altogether by setting the minimum severity to `OFF`.
You can use those parameters either when creating a driver instance, or when creating a session.

Starting from version 5.7, you can use the parameters `NotificationsMinSeverity` and/or `NotificationsDisabledCategories`/`NotificationsDisabledClassifications` to restrict the severity and/or category/classification of notifications that you are interested into.
There is a slight performance gain in restricting the amount of notifications the server is allowed to raise.

The severity filter applies to both Neo4j and GQL notifications.
Category and classification filters exist separately only due to the discrepancy in lexicon between GQL and Neo4j; both filters affect either form of notification though, so you should use only one of them.
You can use any of those parameters either when creating a `Driver` instance, or when creating a session.

You can disable notifications altogether by setting the minimum severity to `"OFF"`.

=== Filter notifications

By default, the server analyses each query for all categories and severity of notifications.
Starting from version 5.7, you can use the configuration method `.withNotificationConfig(link:https://neo4j.com/docs/api/java-driver/current/org.neo4j.driver/org/neo4j/driver/NotificationConfig.html[NotificationConfig])` to restrict the severity or category of notifications that you are interested into, or disable them altogether. There is a slight performance gain in restricting the amount of notifications the server is allowed to raise.
Starting from version 5.22, you can use the configuration methods link:https://neo4j.com/docs/api/java-driver/current/org.neo4j.driver/org/neo4j/driver/Config.ConfigBuilder.html#withMinimumNotificationSeverity(org.neo4j.driver.NotificationSeverity)[`.withMinimumNotificationSeverity()`] and link:https://neo4j.com/docs/api/java-driver/5.24/org.neo4j.driver/org/neo4j/driver/Config.ConfigBuilder.html#withDisabledNotificationClassifications(java.util.Set)[`.withDisabledNotificationClassification()`] to tweak the severity and/or category/classification of notifications that you are interested into, or to disable them altogether.
There is a slight performance gain in restricting the amount of notifications the server is allowed to raise.

The severity filter applies to both Neo4j and GQL notifications.
The category filter acts on both categories and classifications.

You can call the methods both on a `Config` object when creating a `Driver` instance, and on a `SessionConfig` object when creating a session.

The `NotificationConfig` interface provides the methods `.enableMinimumSeverity(link:https://neo4j.com/docs/api/java-driver/current/org.neo4j.driver/org/neo4j/driver/NotificationSeverity.html[NotificationSeverity])`, `.disableCategories(Set<link:https://neo4j.com/docs/api/java-driver/current/org.neo4j.driver/org/neo4j/driver/NotificationCategory.html[NotificationCategory]>)`, and `.disableAllConfig()` to set the configuration.

.Notifications filtering on versions earlier than 5.22
[%collapsible]
====
For versions earlier than 5.22, notification filtering is done via the configuration method link:https://neo4j.com/docs/api/java-driver/current/org.neo4j.driver/org/neo4j/driver/Config.ConfigBuilder.html#withNotificationConfig(org.neo4j.driver.NotificationConfig)[`.withNotificationConfig()`] (versions 5.7+).
You can call `.withNotificationConfig()` both on a `Config` object when creating a `Driver` instance, and on a `SessionConfig` object when creating a session.
The `NotificationConfig` interface provides the methods `.enableMinimumSeverity()`, `.disableCategories()`, and `.disableAllConfig()` to set the configuration.
