I have set up print counters for three models of printers in our organization. The intention is to graph and report on print volumes. I have one printer model which graphs perfectly, two others however have very erratic graphs, spiking for each print job. I have been learning about the round robin database (RRD) creation, but I can't identify why there seems to be a difference in behavior.
James, Are the printers using the same OID to pageCount? If you snmpwalk the related portion of the MIB it should tell you what type of data source it is. The only time you ever use COUNTER or DERIVE would be for Counter32 or Counter64 types. If your pageCount data source is using different OIDs for different printer models you might find that one model exposes the data as a counter, and the other as a gauge. If you're running into this kind of trouble I'd recommend stopping your zenperfsnmp daemon while you fiddle with it. Run it manually "zenperfsnmp run -v 10 --device=thePrinter" after making data source changes so you can be sure it is using the latest configuration. -- Chet Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
