Active Console - How do I set up notifications with a custom sound alert and how do I setup a specific sound for a user or a user list?

This can be done in the Notifier Manager in the Active Console work space.

  1. In the Active Console, go to the Tools Menu -> Notifier Manager or by clicking the Notifier icon Geneos - Active Console - How do I set up notifications with a custom sound alert and how do I setup a specific sound for a user or a user list? in the toolbar. Screenshot

  2. In the Notifier Manager popup window, under General Settings -> Alert Sound, choose “Custom.” Screenshot

  3. Then it will prompt for an audio file and you simply have to choose which audio file you wish to use. Click OK. (NOTE: Supported audio files: AIFF, AU and WAV. It also supports the following MIDI based song file formats: SMF type 0 (Standard MIDI File, aka .mid files), SMF type 1 and RMF.) Screenshot
