Dear opennms users,
I would like to manage my network printers with open nms,(ink level, paper low detection,...). Can you advice me how to configure it ? Regards.

Hi Guiseppe,
your network printers can be managed in two ways:
Traps - business printers can and do send out snmp traps for events (out of toner, paper jam etc). In the printer setup menu, configure your OpenNMS Server as SNMP Trap Sink (SNMP destination host or thelike).
On the OpenNMS side, you need to configure what shall happen with the traps received; see snmp configuration for that (and then events, notifications).
A sample process could be "printer sends paper jam trap", "event gets logged", "it staff gets notification jabber message".
If you want to monitor the printer counters, you can use the snmp data collection of OpenNMS to regularily collect the stats and monitor them (or graph them).
A sample process could be "collect the number of printed pages", "if they reach a threshold, send a notification to it staff"
Depending on your printer model you might find that the basic config of OpenNMS is already done, other models might require that you add the events and snmp mibs (libraries) to OpenNMS. Google for $printermodel snmp or look up your manual to get started.
If you have found the documentation and set up your printer to send traps into OpenNMS and need thereafter help to create events or notifications, don't hesitate to ask back in the mailinglist.
Kind regards
Alex

I've not done it but, having looked a little at the datacollection-config.xml file, it may very well already have the information you need. What happens if you simply enable SNMP on one of your printers and point OpenNMS to it? Does it collect the data you need? Can that then be turned into a threshold? Just a guess - John -- John A.

What printer model? Are there online docs?
Then: Tell OpenNMS which community string to use and ask it to discover the printer.

Hi there, I've been able to get supply info out of our printers using OpenNMS out of the box -- my question is this -- I would like OpenNMS to generate a notification when a supply threshold drops below, say, 5%. I know which OIDs to query, but I'm pretty sure I've mangled the necessary XML to get OpenNMS to report something. Which log(s) would I find notification attempt/failure messages in? Ideally, I'd like to unwind the process back to where it fails and figure it out (learn to fish, basically), but I'm not sure where to start looking for clues between "I have the information available" and "I'm not getting feedback from my NMS about it like I asked it". thanks, Klaus ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
