[HELP] Getting laser printer toner level

[m10]

Hello, i am writing a SNMP XML query to monitoring the Black and White HP Laser Printer Toner Cartridge Level in office through LAN.

Here below is the XML query file

<interface>
<name>Get Black and White Printer Toner information</name>
<description>Get Black and White Printer Toner information</description>
<oid_index>.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.2</oid_index>
<index_order_type>numeric</index_order_type>

<fields>
<MarkerIndex>
<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>
</MarkerIndex>
<Class>
<name>Class</name>

</Description>
<Capacity>
<name>Capacity</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8</oid>
</Capacity>
<Level>
<name>Level</name>
<method>walk</method>
<source>value</source>
<direction>output</direction>
<oid>.1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9</oid>
</Level>
</fields>
</interface>

Also the snmpwalk output

[root@localhost cacti]# snmpwalk 10.106.96.107 -c public -v1 SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11

SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.2.1.1 = INTEGER: 1
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.3.1.1 = INTEGER: 0
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.4.1.1 = INTEGER: 3
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.5.1.1 = INTEGER: 21
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.6.1.1 = STRING: "Black Cartridge HP Q6511A"
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.7.1.1 = INTEGER: 7
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.8.1.1 = INTEGER: 6000
SNMPv2-SMI::mib-2.43.11.1.1.9.1.1 = INTEGER: 5880

At the data query (at device page) works fine (i can see the value for all 'input' field there), so i go through the Howto page [ Howto: from snmptable to XML Graphs (Data Query walkthrough) by lvm ] and follow the steps and created the graph. But nth is shown on the graph (two output value=nan, ( i expect checking the maxcapacity, and remain level of the toner )... And then i turn on the debug mode , and it's showing

"WARNING: Result from SNMP not valid. Partial Result:"

sorry for my poor english

What is the output of the script when you run it?

Ahh, I see why it's failing. Cacti is trying to poll .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8.1.x while your snmpwalk returned .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.8.1.1.x was valid. Try adding on the extra .1 to your xml script and see if that helps.

There has already been a HP Printer template out there. Perhaps it will help you
