LED reactive lights when an Emergency system is down

DenisF

Hi ,

Just currious if someone ever setup a system with Solarwind . That if an emergency system is down a Red LED Strip lights up behind the monitoring screen. I was thinking with a rasbery PI or something else

Thanks for your input

We had a workstation running in our NOC that I had Kiwi Syslog Server runnning in the background receiving Syslog messages that were sent to it. As an alert action in the Kiwi we used execute a program which executed rules to trigger a USB relay that had lights attached to it. The PC could trigger different relays depending on which message it received.

SolarWinds could communicate with the PC by sending Syslogs as an alert action.

I'd probably just powershell it, but IFFFT would be easier. Hue's just the one I have not the best option, but for that you set up a hub and can cloud expose it or not

I've done it with an Intel mini pc attached behind a monitor. I used IFFFT on the pc to control some usb lighting strips and we had speakers with imperial march queued up ready to play when the s**t hit the fan and we had separate alert actions for custom alerts that flashed the lights in custom colours and played specific sad trombone sounds that really annoyed the Devs. SolarWinds alerts were configured to run external programs within IFFFT. It worked well and it looked great. I did need to install a usb hub on to the pc for all the lights.

How would you get Solarwind to talk to the Hue lights

(and I jumped into this thread on notification because hell yeah I'd like to set that up!)

It's definitely been done, I haven't done it at work for lack of a light, I will probably set this up with some Hues when i've got my Lab up like Q4

Alert HTML Content
Alert Cleared.htmlHello, I would like to share the HTML template details we have prepared so that Solarwinds alarms can become more meaningful. It can list alarm object details and connected device details separately in HTML template. Except for object and device details, you can easily add custom property information…

Basic SWQL Syntax
SWQL is built on the framework of SQL and as such supports most of the standard clauses as part of a query. A very simple example query is: SELECT Caption, IPAddress, Vendor, ResponseTime FROM Orion.Nodes Dissecting this query is relatively straightforward: show some fields (Caption, IP address, Vendor, and Response Time)…
