I have an Oce CM4010 printer that I want to create a probe for.
I am able to SNMP Walk the device using the Printer_MIB file.
I am told there is an OCE Private MIB, but I can’t find it anywhere… Anyone have it?
Soo… I know of one OID that I can monitor, but it only appears when there’s an error.
I’d like to create a probe that will alert me when this OID appears. If it does not appear, then the printer is working.
the OID is: 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.7.1.17 and pertains to the black toner cartridge.
If the toner cartridge is good, it goes away.
Need help ASAP, as I’m losing my fairly quickly over this!!
read the probe thread…
This new probe will be installed automatically on every device if you let auto discover add services. SO make sure you don’t allow this new printer probe to be installed automatically.
Click probes, click plus to create a new probe, name it toner or something.
In the availability line you can’t use this oid since it will not be available at all times.
availability: put any oid here that is >1 like the system oid.
The availability line determines if the probe is automatically added when autodiscover services and the service is allowed to be automatically installed.
On the error line use the oid that disappears.
error: if(not(oid(“1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.7.1.17”)), “” , “toner out”)
I have never used not in a probe so maybe you need different ()…
error: if not(oid(“1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.7.1.17”), “” , “toner out”)
or maybe error: if(not(oid(“1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.7.1.17”)=“”), “” , “toner out”)
or maybe error: if(not(oid(“1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.7.1.17”)<>“”), “” , “toner out”)
Set it to not graph.
add the probe to your device.
HTH
Note unless the mib is completely outside the standard you will still be able to see the numbered oids with out text… in other words you probably don’t need the mib if you know the oid you are looking for.
