Hello

In my organization we have a nagios core 4.4.5 and we monitor everything.

We monitor also printers and pagecounts

Like: printerAAA ---- pagecount 123456
printerBBB ---- pagecount 123456

Can someone help me how to achive this task?

The check_hpjd should be available by default in your /usr/local/nagios/libexec and works with a wide array of printer models.

I would first try to configure any check on that device, then you can filter the text output by piping it through a basic bash command like cut.

If you would like to examine what the plugin is doing, you could copy the check_hpjd script to your own system and open it with a text editor.
