Python Script name : s.py

import winsound
soundfile = "c:/shine.wav"
winsound.PlaySound(soundfile, winsound.SND_FILENAME|winsound.SND_ASYNC)

when i compile this script with python GUI It can play the sound, after that I copy s.py to "C:Program Files/Splunk/bin/scripts/s.py" and in the alert condition page i set run script checkbox is enable and type s.py in the File name of shell script to run but when it alert i can't hear anything .

Umm, yeah. Normally, in the enterprise, Splunk is installed on a Server somewhere. So even if python plays the sound you won't hear it. If you installed it on your Desktop, it might work. Try running the python by itself and see if you hear anything (make sure your computer is not muted and the volume is up). If it is on a server not on your computer, good luck and let us know how that turns out.

I install Splunk on my desktop set it as splunk server and i test python script on my desktop too . it's can work when i test with python GUI but keep it with splunk it doesn't work . May be i think i have a miss config but i don't know what wrong. i copy my python script to "C:Program Files/Splunk/bin/scripts/s.py" . is it right? and in the setup alert page i check in script checkbox is enable and type s.py in the File name of shell script to run. is it right? Or you mean i should have 2 computer 1 for splunk server and 1 for test alert . i don't understand

Try writing an actual shell script (s.bat) that calls the python script, and use "s.bat" in the alert config.

C:\$PATH_TO_PYTHON\python C:\$SPLUNK_HOME\bin\scripts\s.py
