Activate USB Police Siren When Alert is Detected

Post by grittyminder »

Greetings,

I'm interested in having nagios activate a USB police siren when an alert is detected. Well, specifically I'd like to start the siren on the client side, which means that the client browser would have to enable, perhaps via a script, the USB port that the police siren was plugged into (and disable the USB port again once the service recovers)? (The police siren would be the type that automatically activates when plugged into the USB port). This is just one idea, perhaps there is a better way?

I'm sure that this has been done before... can somebody point me in a general direction or give me some ideas on how to do this?

Thank you in advance for your help.l
