SNMP Printer Template

[chet]

How do people work out which value means what?

I have just tried this template and I get

+ Running data query [10].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/printer_supply.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.
+ Executing SNMP walk for list of indexes @ '.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.1'
+ No SNMP data returned
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/printer_supply.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/printer_supply.xml'
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/printer_supply.xml'

Thanks

[chet]

Could somebody confirm that I need to do the following please.

Code: Select all

printer_supply

Copy to my /resource/snmp_queries

Code: Select all

cacti_host_template_snmp_printer
cacti_graph_template_host_mib_total_printed_pages
cacti_graph_template_host_mib_available_printer_supply
cacti_data_template_host_mib_get_printer_total_pages
cacti_data_template_host_mib_get_printer_supply

Are imported through Import Templates

Code: Select all

cacti_data_query_snmp_get_printer_supply

Where does this one need to go

I know they are basic questions but I can not find any post on here that explains How-To for a first time attempt.

I will learn honest

[chet]

why has nobody answered this?

[chet]

I dont understand wht I do not get any replies, did I do something wrong?

[adrianmarsh]

I know this threads quite old but I started looking at this template today, trying to get it to work against an epson c2800.

chet - this is forum, theres never a guaranteed reply.
cacti_data_query_snmp_get_printer_supply is an xml file that should also be imported I believe

and your snmp query is returning nothing. In my examination, I found that theres too many .1's in the OID for me. so edit the printer_supply.xml file and clean it up. Use snmpwalk from the snmp tools to test first so you can see what the correct OIDs are.

That said, although my verbose output shows the correct values, I'm getting failures myself, so I need to look myself some more.

[adrianmarsh]

Hmmm... so the verbose output looks ok (with a .1 removed from the index), but I'm getting an invalid "Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result:" error in the logs...

Why isn't the verbose output showing prtMarkersSupplyUsed ??

I'm trying now to change the XML to :

Code: Select all

<interface>
        <name>Get Printer Supply Information</name>
        <index_order_type>numeric</index_order_type>
        <oid_index>.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.2</oid_index>

        <fields>
                <prtMarkersSupplyIndex>
                        <name>Index</name>
                        <method>walk</method>
                        <source>value</source>
                        <direction>input</direction>
                        <oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.2</oid>
                </prtMarkersSupplyIndex>

[adrianmarsh]

hmm.. that didn't work. For some reason prtMarkersSupplyUsed/.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9 isn't being retrieved.

I'm using the XML files from the top post.

[robr]

So I too am having problems with this. I have a Dell printer and am trying to create a graph with total # of pages printed which can be seen here with snmpwalk
iso.3.6.1.2.1.43.10.2.1.4.1.1 = Counter32: 2587

I have set the Data Temple>Get Printer Total Pages data source type to GAUGE
I have deleted the RRD file
Then I wait until there is some data, but all my graphs either show 0 (thru weekly) or -nan (month, year)

Any suggestions on what I've done wrong?
Thanks much.

How do people work out which value means what?

I have just tried this template and I get

+ Running data query [10].
+ Found type = '3' [snmp query].
+ Found data query XML file at '/var/www/cacti/resource/snmp_queries/printer_supply.xml'
+ XML file parsed ok.

Thanks

If you see something like this, make sure that permissions to file printer_supply.xml are global readable.
To fix, do:

Code: Select all

root@linux:/usr/share/cacti/resource/snmp_queries# chmod 644 printer_supply.xml

Hi,

i'm using cacti on eyes of network v3.0

Trying to get the total pages printed on a graph, like many have asked on the thread before.
I use the plugings posted by the OP.

I tried several things that i saw in the 4 pages (setting on GAUGE, using rrdcleaner) but i'm really at a lost here. Has there been any "advances" in the area ?
I get that i need to use the "sum" function of cacti but i need to get rid of this incoherent vertical axis problem first.

Obviously i'm a noob but i have to complete this task very in a matter of hours, there is too many stuff to learn in too little time :p

What i get:


I'm supposed to to display the total printed pages.

Any help greatly appreciated ))))

So i know values are coming back.
Any ideas?

Try adding the following line to terziyski's printer_supply.xml

Code: Select all

<oid_index_parse>OID/REGEXP:.*\.([0-9]+)$</oid_index_parse>

and modify <prtMarkersSupplyIndex> like this:

Code: Select all

<prtMarkersSupplyIndex>
	<name>Index</name>
	<source>index</source>
	<direction>input</direction>
</prtMarkersSupplyIndex>
