Anyone got any idea's on this? I would also like to know if this is possible. Its always possible to sit and stare at the dashboard all day long. A simple audible alarm when an alert occurs would be very useful.

It's a logical feature to have on any system which performs monitoring... has anyone come up with a way of achieving audible alarms/alerts with Kaseya yet? Is it in the development pipeline?

Hi,

This indeed possible and very easy to do ;-)

I downloaded mpg123.exe (a open-source MP3 command line player and a free mp3 alert.
I copied MPG123.exe , it's dll file and the alarm.mp3 to the harddisk off our central console pc.

Then, on alert I play the following script on that pc:

IF True
THEN
Execute File - (Continue on Fail)
Parameter 1 : c:\alarm\mpg123.exe
Parameter 2 : c:\alarm\alarm.mp3
Parameter 3 : 0
OS Type : 0
ELSE

thats all.

Hello,

I am new at scripting, can you please send me the script page screenshot.
Thanks.

I have downloaded the mpg123.exe and have it on c:\alarm, along with an alarm.mp3

ISL posted the entire script, no need for a screenshot. Use Kaseya's "Import Script" feature on the scripts page, and then in the text box that pops up just paste everything in ISL's post from "If True" to "ELSE".

seems like this feature would have been implemented into the dashboard by now.

Most systems cover Site and Sound alarms. Next alarm generation is going to be a PC that reaches out, grabs you, and tells you what the alarm was. They're called robots!

Set this up a couple of weeks ago. VLC can be run via the command line, it just has an unusual syntax. The 2 second pause is an attempt to avoid a delay before sound is actually produced - mixed results, but it seems to be a bit better than without the pause.

Another not so fancy way of doing this would be to setup your monitor sets and scripts to email and have outlook setup to run a rule to play a sound. Again not so fancy but just throwing other ideas out there

Gets a bit complex if you only want the alarm for certain emails/events etc. But it would stop the alarm from accidentally being set to run on client machines, which ours was doing at one site!
