Configuring Audible Web Alerts
In the Orion Web Console, audible alerts can be sounded whenever new alerts are
generated. When audible alerts are enabled, you will receive an audible alert the first
time, after login, that an alert is displayed on the page. This alert may come from
either an alert resource or the Alerts view. You will not receive audible alerts if the
Alerts view or the alert resource you are viewing is empty.
Following the initial alert sound, you will receive an audible alert every time an alert
is encountered that was triggered later than the latest alert that has already been
viewed.
For example, a user logs in and sees a group of alerts with trigger times ranging from
9:01AM to 9:25AM, and the user receives an audible alert. If the user browses to a
new page or allows the current page to auto-refresh, a new alert sounds if and only if
an alert triggered later than 9:25AM is then displayed.
To enable audible web alerts:
1.
Log in to the Orion Web Console as an administrator.
2. Click Settings in the top right of the web console.
3. Click Manage Accounts in the Accounts grouping of the Orion Website
Administration page.
4.
Select the account you want to configure.
5. Click Edit.
6.
Select the sound file you want to play when new alerts arrive from the Alert
Sound list.
Note: By default, sounds are stored in the Sounds directory, located at
C:\Inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\Sounds. Sounds in .wav format that
are added to this directory become available as soon as the Edit User Account
page refreshes.
7. Click Submit.
