./check_snmp_printer -H 192.168.10.10 -C public -x MESSAGES
UNKNOWN: Can't determine messages. Device does not support this OID.

Kindly help me out this issue.. thanks in advance!!

From nagios can you access the device via SNMP from the command line?

Code: Select all

snmpget -v 1 -c public 192.168.10.10 sysDescr.0

Does this printer support snmp? If so, what mibs/oids does it use?

Hi,

This printer supports snmp. I can able to get all the data except ./check_snmp_printer -H 192.168.10.10 -C public -x MESSAGES. It uses 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.8 as OID for MESSAGES.

OK, good now lets try the OID that the plugin uses for MESSAGES

Code: Select all

snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 192.168.0.1 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.8
