<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>Hi
all,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>status sounds are
very usefull when working near a Nagios browser
client.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>In our configuration
most mails, pager and sms messages are sent only during non working hours.
The rest of the time we use the sound of Nagios as indicator for failures,
because there is allways someone or another near the console, where a Nagios
browser session is running as well.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>We experienced that
Nagios will play sound at the first time it recognises a warning or critical
stage. This can be very annoying when for example a ping reply reaches
warning or critical level for a short time and then fall back to normal again.
</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>If this
happens to often, operators lose interest in looking at
Nagios.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>Increasing warning
or critical level is not a real option, because i want to recognise these levels
but only when they occure for a defined time,
(max_check_attepts).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>We would wish to
implement playing sounds only, when max_check_attepts is reached, as for sending
pager, sms or emails. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
class=565152514-16062003></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>I implemented this
option in tac.c some weeks ago, and everybody is happy since
then.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>Attached you will
find my modifications to tac.c, (marked with SAN). This was only a quick hack
and could may be done differently. Of course the same modifications must be done
in status.c.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=565152514-16062003>Any other ideas
?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
