I've been tinkering lately with the thought of audio alerts on the server side of zenoss as my collectors all run in manned offices. Here's how I did it.
My collectors all have AC'97 audio they are HP xw4100 workstations running the following... Software Component Versions Zenoss 2.4.1 Linux (i686) 2.6.28 (Linux NMS1 2.6.28-11-server #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:48:10 UTC 2009 i686) Zope 2.8.8 Python 2.4.4 MySQL 5.0.45 (Ver 5.0.45) RRDtool 1.3.6 Twisted 8.1.0 NetSnmp 5.4.1 PyNetSnmp 0.28.13 WMI Wmi 1.2.4 but none of that really matters. I use the alsa drivers and all I had to do is add the user zenoss to the audio group by running the following: sudo adduser zenoss audio Then I made a command in the Event Manager to play a WAV file on events that have a severity of warning or greater (I used aplay). I know there are some text to speech engines out there (we used one with asterisk but I can't remember it now) and I'm interested if someone wants to take this method a little bit more in depth. Hope to hear any ideas. -James [/img] -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://forums.zenoss.com/viewtopic.php?p=36010#36010 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
