check_snmp_printer.pl	check_snmp_printer.pl version 1.6

Based upon a shell script that does snmp printer checks (see http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Hardware/Printers/SNMP-Printer-Check/details), I decided the performance would much better if it was written in perl. So I converted the script to perl, and added an option to check all paper trays at once (except the bypass trays). Usage: Required Arguments: -H, --host=HOST The name or address of the host running SNMP. --messages Print the messages of the printer --model Prints the model of the printer --pagecount Prints the number of pages printed --tray=i Checks tray number for paper status, use 0 for all trays --consum="ALL"|"TEST"| Check consumable containing for status, use "TEST" to get a list of all consumables use "ALL" to get the status of all consumables Optional Arguments: -P, --community=STRING The community string of the SNMP agent. Default: public -S, --snmpver=STRING The version of snmp to use. 1 and 2 are supported. Default: 1 -t, --timeout=INTEGER Number of seconds to wait for a response. --exact Search for exact consumable string, not just substring comparison

Question

Hello,
I wanted to try your snmp_printer plugin but I'm a bit lost. I don't know how to describe the plugin in the commands.cfg and in my printer.cfg

Actually I have something like that :

In commands.cfg
# 'check_snmp_printer.pl' command definition
define command{
command_name check_snmp_printer
command_line $USER1$/check_snmp_printer.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$ -P -S -t $ARG2$

And in printer.cfg
define service{
use generic-service
host_name Printer1
service_description Toner Supply
check_command check_snmp_printer!public!"CONSUM Toners"!20!10
}

define service{
use generic-service
host_name Printer1
service_description Printer Model
check_command check_snmp_printer!public!"MODEL"
}
Thanks for your help.

This works great...at the command line
by ICTAS_HAL, December 31, 2011

But I am having issues in nagios on top of FreeBSD. In nagios as I play with the cfg it either exits with null or program did not exit properly. I am wondering if anyone has a printer cfg they could share.
