Passing Alerts into the Operating Systems Notifier

Ignition

Im making a list of ways to parse the alert information into on screen notifiers. I have Ubuntu figured out, and also looking at Growl on a Mac.

Ubuntu
Install libnotify-bin

sudo aptitude install libnotify-bin

Create either a DB Tag or a Client tag with the following expression script

runScript("system.alert.queryAlertStatus(activeAndUnacked=1,clearAndUnacked=1).rowCount",500)

Import the attached package into your project.

Finally, make the following tag change script, referencing the DB/Client Tag you previouly created.

alarms = system.alert.queryAlertStatus(activeAndUnacked=1,clearAndUnacked=1)
if alarms.rowCount > 0:
	app.notify.notifyAlarm(alarms.getValueAt(0,"Path"), alarms.getValueAt(0,"State Name"))

You should get something like the following screenshot


notify.py (310 Bytes)
