It's a bit more complicated than adding MIB files to Zenoss. There's some manual configuration to go through, too.
First, you have to know the OIDs for the particular things you want to know about for your printer. You'll want to play around with snmpget and walk to find and verify the OID for what you want to track. Once you have the OID, go to the device page for your printer and choose the PerfConf tab. Add a new data source, paperJam, and set its OID to what you found in your explorations with snmp[get|walk]. Add a new datapoint, paperJam, to the data source. I'm not expert (only started with Zenoss last week), but it appears the DataSource retreives the value and the DataPoint stores the values and makes them available for other calculations. I'm going to presume the paperJam OID value is either 0 for no jam or 1 for jammed. GAUGE is likely the proper Type setting in your datapoint for that. Read up on RRD for more info about data types. Go back to the PerfConf tab and add a new threshold. Call it PaperJam or something clever like that. Edit the threshold. Select the data source as paperJam_paperJam. Leave Min Value blank and set Max Value to 0 (this assumes 0=OK and 1=jammed). When the value becomes greater than 0, ie paperJam=1, then an event will be generated. Set the Severity to whatever is appropriate for you. Make sure the threshold is enabled. Save. That's it! The dashboard should notify you when the printer is jammed. You may have to play with the config a bit if my assumptions about 0=OK and 1=jammed are incorrect. ------------------------ Paul Delys -------------------- m2f -------------------- Read this topic online here: http://community.zenoss.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=5553#5553 -------------------- m2f -------------------- _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
