Text to Speech

mkurtzhals

I am working on configuring alerts for Orion.  Where does the text to speech actually get played?  Can I have it play on certain peoples desktops when an alarm is triggered or will it only play on the box that the software is installed.

 

Thanks,

There are new features now that allow sounds from the webpage.

To enable audible web alerts:
1. Log in to the Orion Web Console as an administrator.
2. Click Admin in the Views toolbar.
3. Click Account Manager in the Accounts grouping of the Orion Website Administration page.
4. Select the account that you want to configure, and then click Edit.
5. Scroll down to Alert Sound (just above account limitations). Select the sound file you want to play when new alerts arrive from the Alert Sound list, and then click Submit.
By default, sounds are stored in the Sounds directory, located at C:\Inetpub\SolarWinds\NetPerfMon\Sounds.
When you login to the Orion Web Console, you will receive an audible alert if an alert is displayed on the page (either in an alert resource or Alerts view).

You will not receive audible alerts if the Alerts view or the alert resource you are viewing is empty.

You will need to Add an alerts resource (suc as Active Alerts) to this page and the alerts will be played.

To do this, click Admin -> Manage Views. Highlight the view you wish to add to the resource and click Edit. Click the green + sign to a add a resource to a column and then, under alerts, tick the check box for All Triggered Alerts. Click Submit to save and this resource will be added to the view.
