Hi,
I have set the alert as a sound alert. The alert is activated but unfortunately there’s no sound to indicate that there’s an alert had been triggered.
The Sound file already been put in the specified directory :- C:sound1098_critical.wav.

Alert name Sound Alert – monitor warning
Command sndrec32 /play /close C:sound1098_critical.wav
Description Sound Alert – Monitor Warning

Did i specify the command correctly?

thanks and regards.

Open a shell in your Pandora FMS server and try to exec that command with the user that runs Pandora FMS server. Take in mind that that command is executed by the server that process data (network or data server) who trigger the alert. Could be a problem with permissions (unable to open sound device) or something similar.

In any case, are you using Pandora FMS in a windows server ???, because that kind of path c:sound1098_critical.wav sounds to be a windows path.

thanks nil for the quick reply.

I’m using solaris server for the web console but i’m using a PC to monitor the alerts. That’s why i’ve put the sound file in that PC.

Will the PC gets the sound that is activated on the server if there’s an alert been activated.

thanks & regards.

That’s a weird picture.
The server is the one lauching the alerts, so if it can’t reach the sound alerts they’re not going to be fired.
You might want to put the sounds alerts in the same machine where the server is running in.
