LED reactive lights when an Emergency system is down

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

  • 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.
