Check_SNMP_Printer woes

Hello everyone,

I have configured our Nagios instance to monitor a Xerox printer with the Check_SNMP_Printer plugin (https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... ck/details), and am receiving information fine. The issue is that it is the wrong information. It is returning the Transfer Belt info on all checks except the paper trays (screenshot1).

If I manually run the command, I get the same response (screenshot2). I have checked the script and the Universal SNMP OIDs are correct. for my printer. If I snmpwalk the OIDs listed, they return expected output.

I am a bit at a loss as to what the issue is. I can only assume something is wrong with the logic?

Any insight i can get on this is greatly appreciated!

What version are you using? Once I know the version, I can test this. We didn't write this plugin, so we are unfamiliar with it. [email protected] is the developer.

While we don't support 3rd party plugins, here is some information on creating your own since you already know how to make it work:

Just checking in since we have not heard from you in a while. Did @avandemore's post clear things up or has the issue otherwise been resolved?
