What machine are you trying to play a sound on? With the Nagios server, you should just be able to create a command that plays a sound on the local machine.

Again, we need to know what machine should play the sound. The implementation is going to be different depending on whether you want the sound to come from your browser, or from the server that hosts Nagios.

If you want this played on the Nagios server: http://askubuntu.com/questions/83200/ho ... ifications
Otherwise from your browser: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... dio_alerts

doing this with nagvis is perhaps the easiest way to do it
default action for nagvis is to play an annoying noise whenever anything on the map turns red

Take a look at the options @mcdonald mentioned, and @nozlaf as well - let us know if you have any further questions about it.

You'll want to make the change to your cgi.cfg -

Code: Select all

Formats: 	host_unreachable_sound=<sound_file>
host_down_sound=<sound_file>
service_critical_sound=<sound_file>
service_warning_sound=<sound_file>
service_unknown_sound=<sound_file>
Examples: 	host_unreachable_sound=hostu.wav
host_down_sound=hostd.wav
service_critical_sound=critical.wav
service_warning_sound=warning.wav
service_unknown_sound=unknown.wav

According to the Nagios Core documentation:

Audio files are assumed to be in the media/ subdirectory in your HTML directory (i.e. /usr/local/nagios/share/media).

You will need to place the audio files (hostu.wav, hostd.wav, critical.wav, warning.wav, and unknown.wav) in the "/usr/local/nagios/share/media" directory. Next, you will need to modify the cgi.cfg file by changing this:

Code: Select all

Formats:    host_unreachable_sound=<sound_file>
host_down_sound=<sound_file>
service_critical_sound=<sound_file>
service_warning_sound=<sound_file>
service_unknown_sound=<sound_file>
Examples:    host_unreachable_sound=hostu.wav
host_down_sound=hostd.wav
service_critical_sound=critical.wav
service_warning_sound=warning.wav
service_unknown_sound=unknown.wav

to this:

Code: Select all

host_unreachable_sound=hostu.wav
host_down_sound=hostd.wav
service_critical_sound=critical.wav
service_warning_sound=warning.wav
service_unknown_sound=unknown.wav

Restart nagios and apache. Let us know if you have any more questions.
