how to make sound on some of Service alert

[zaji_nms]

Dear Expert

is there any inbuilt option in NagiosXI will give sound if there is CRITICAL alert, but when we customize it.

in general there is Alert if its UNKNOWN, WARNING, CRITICAL and showing in Home Operations Centers

there is Email if we configure (otherwise no email notification)........same way

we want little SOUND if there is WARNING and to noisy big sound if CRITICAL (we want specially in our DC Temperature monitoring but its up to us to configure that SOUND alert, similar to Email Notification, should be customizable).

The functionality to do specific hosts/services doesn't exist. I have submitted a feature request on your behalf to request development add that functionality:

FR: XI - Operations Center - Sounds - Allow host/service specific sounds (the ability to only have certain hosts/services play sounds instead of all)

Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of our development team.

Dear ssax

Thank for submitting Feature Add request, prior i request to you...thanks for reading/understanding user mind and requirement (looks very normal but in monitoring point of view, very important).

is there any way, can we do in our script? any hint will you share?

nothing to compare here anyone with NagiosXI but FYI, in NAGVIS its there, on our BIG NAGVIS MAP, whenever there is LINK going DOWN, there is some sound, is there any way/hint to incorporate in our inhouse script perl/bash/php?

I apologize but by policy we do not recommend that you modify the source code as they will be overwritten on an upgrade and will put you in a position where you won't want to upgrade because you've customized your system.

Can't you make a small NagVis page with those devices on it - turn on sound for them?
Then they just keep that one small window open.

Thanks @SteveBeauchemin, that should work as an alternative.

Dear SSAX/Expert

We have done many many minor customization and its benefiting us in many many ways and the reason we not just like NagiosXI but we love it.

We will do on our own risk, can you plz provide some hints , URL , any document....will be highly appreciable.

I apologize but support does not have the time to architect this for you, it will not be a simple change.

Dear Expert

hope it will be my last thread in this post

just ignore the Sound File (any WAV or MP3 or Quicktime file), just can be beep only... print chr(7) , something like that possible?

will add multiple beep print chr(7).print chr(7) , something better than nothing

any hint/advice/URL/document....will be appreciable.

regards

HI zaji_nms,

We have a feature request submitted for you. If you are interested in adding your own functionality to Nagios XI, I would recommend creating a component, since it will not be overwritten during upgrades.
