METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR GENERATING AUDIBLE ALERTS

摘要

A method for managing alerts in a distributed computer system includes monitoring one or more portions of the computer system for exceptions and, upon discerning a first exception, generating an audible alert at a first workstation of the computer system. A distributed computer system includes at least one workstation and at least one component executing a system event detection program. The computer system further includes a first module that monitors the computer system for a system event requiring administrative attention and a second module that produces an audible alert of the system event on a first workstation. A computer program product has a computer readable medium that has computer program logic recorded thereon for providing audible alerts for conditions of a distributed computer system. The computer program product includes code for discerning a system condition requiring administrative attention and code for generating an audible alert to a first workstation of the distributed computer system in response to discerning the system condition.
