Feature Request: Dynamic page background colour & triggered sounds

[stevegoossens]

Hi Chris,

I'm still unfamiliar with GitHub, so apologies in advance if this is in the wrong section...

So this isn't an issue with NagiosTV, as it is awesome already, and I have it up and running - it's a feature request for a couple additions which would probably be fairly easy to tack on. Ultimately, I'd like to use NagiosTV on a large, portrait mounted TV, for a visual and audible indication of network and host statuses. The small additions I can see as beneficial for anyone using NagiosTV are:

1. dynamic background colour

The black background is great, but it is not strikingly obvious when there are unacknowledged/current hosts/services changing to a hard warning/critical status, especially if there are a number of acknowledged alerts.

pseudo-code state to colour:

if hard_criticals > 0 then bg = red
else if hard_warnings > 0 then bg = yellow
else if soft_criticals > 0 then bg = dark-red
else if soft_warnings > 0 then bg = dark-yellow
else bg = black
document.body.style.backgroundColor = bg

2. triggered, possibly repeating, audio alerts for hard statuses

We can't always be watching NagiosTV all the time, maybe some people don't have line-of-sight to the monitor/TV when at their desk, so some form of audible alerts for hard warnings and hard criticals would be really nice. I think repeating the audio alert every X minutes would be good in case the status change occured when people were not around to hear the first alert sound.

pseudo-code again:

if hard_criticals > 0 and critical_sound_interval_is_up then soundCriticalAlert
else if hard_warnings > 0 and warning_sound_interval_is_up then soundWarningAlert

not sure what to suggest as a sound format that all platforms/browsers would play embedded without issue or need for plugins/addons... maybe wav or mp3?

Hope you can find some time to add these features for a new version in the future :)

Keep up the good work!

Steve
