I have a idea that when dynatrace detects a problem, it can make a sound prompt.

I originally thought of the way to integrate ansible towner, but in fact, my customers only use ansible don’t have ansible towner, so I don’t know if anyone has experience in this area to share with me?

Thanks in advance,

Yung-Chih

[@Yung-Chih C.](https://community.dynatrace.com/users/37149/view.html) this is a really cool use case but I dont think there is a way other then sending a custom webhook to a 3rd party entity that might be able to initiate a sound for an issue. Im sure it can be done via custom coding of a 3rd party platform or integration but it currently does not exist in the product as of now. You can request for an RFE:&nbsp;[https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/DynatraceProductIdeas](https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/DynatraceProductIdeas)

Hello&nbsp;[@ChadTurner](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/14877)

I am getting 404 on the access of RFE. Do we have any updates to this feature?

Regards,

Hi&nbsp;[@owen\_chen](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/23144)&nbsp;,

I played with that idea when implementing a global status page for a few thousand Dynatrace environments ([described here](https://www.dynatrace.com/news/blog/keep-track-of-thousands-of-environments/)) as I also wanted a “non-visual” notification as well (apart from the large Ops screen).

The status webpage in the background would just play a notification sound in the browser whenever a new problem “bubble” would be created. This was some fun when many environments had issues at the same time due to an infrastructure problem…it got quite noisy 🙂

I then switched to only playing sounds after a problem was open for 10 minutes, but I never “productized” that in the status page.

Technically this was quite simple: my backend queried the Dynatrace API and pushed [socket.io](http://socket.io) messages to it’s browser clients, which then played some sound via the browser’s JS support.

kr,

Reinhard

As Chad described above, a custom webhook, configured in Dynatrace Problem notification settings, that calls any Sound-generating API would be your easiest option.
