> The icon which looks like a megaphone with a cross through it simply indicates that you have disabled notifications (where typically a notification is an email or SMS) for that host or service. I'm pretty sure it bears no relation to whether the sounds will play in your browser or not. Notifications do include sound! > I'm not sure if it's relevant to your situation there, but in 3.0.5 the sample audio files were removed from the distribution. See: http://www.nagios.org/development/history/core-3x > Check the "SOUND OPTIONS" section in your cgi.cfg file, make sure the relevant entries are uncommented and the .wav files exist. > > If that still doesn't work, try a different browser maybe. > > hth, > > Jim Thanks Jim for your thoughts, all the sound is configured and working. I won't do into ugly details but will say I changed the source code, now play mp3's and adjusted the html tags to be more compatible across different browsers. In a nutshell, my default host template included a contract group, my service template did not. Although they are REQUIRED, nagios will still start with warnings logged. What I just learned and tested was, if a host has a contact/group set, the services on that host appears to inherit the contact from the host. This was not the behavior in 2.6. I removed the contact group from all the hosts, which is a undesired compromise but now we won't get bombared w/emails when Jboss/twiddle times out after 10 seconds (I know, I need to adjust it, no global setting though <sigh>). The purpose of all this: Lets say we have ftp and http running on a box. http is critical, ftp is not. I want a sound to play and in case I've stepped away from nagios, an email sent to all system administrators if http stops responding. If ftp stops, no emails are necessary, just play a sound to get my attention and I'll fix the service. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
