We use bbtray with Hobbit as well. Works fine. However, you might want
to replace the default of Homer Simpson yelling an expletive (RED)
with something more appropriate.
In our environment, we use Tom Hanks’ line for “Apollo 13” – “Houston,
we have a problem” – to indicate RED status; and the “all systems
functioning normally” computer tag line from the original Star Trek TV
series to indicate return to GREEN status. Yes, it’s true. I am an
uber-geek.
We use the sounds from the HAL 9000, RED - "I just picked up a fault"
YELLOW - "One moment please." GREEN - "I feel much better now, I
really do" PURPLE - "Im sorry for the delay"
Again, I wrapped a perl script around the allevents log that way we
could get the alerts to sound immediately when Big Brother (now Hobbit)
picked up the problem and didnt have to wait for the browser to refresh.
Also with this script watching the allevent log it would display each
event line in the appropriate color, again this was so the helpdesk
folks could see the alert as it happened and not have to wait for the
browser or bbdisplay to update. All they had to do is listen and look
and the Command wall for the alerts.

I use bbtray with hobbit, so far it works. To choose what alarms to
sound on I use the NK-view page.

Is it possible to set alerts to play sound on hobbit
when the colour changes to red, yellow?
Does the old "bbtray" program work with Hobbit, or is it too
specific to Big Brother??
