Arguments

Name Type Value
community optional string, default is 'public' SNMP community name with read-access.
paperout optional boolean, default is true Whether to report paper out condition.
paperjam optional boolean, default is true Whether to report paper jam condition.
tonerlow optional boolean, default is true Whether to report toner low condition.
snmpversion optional string, one of '1', '2','2c', or '3', default is '1' SNMP protocol version to use.
snmptimeout optional number between 1 and infinity, default is '5' SNMP query timeout, in seconds. Note that multiple queries may be issued within one check, so this should not be the same as the module timeout.

At least one of paperout, paperjam, or tonerlow must be true.

Description

The hplj module uses SNMP to query the status of HP LaserJet printers (or any other printer which conforms to the Printer MIB). Printers are checked for paper levels, paper jams, and toner levels.

Examples

  1. To test for all conditions: 
         module hplj {}
  2. To not test for low toner: 
         module hplj {
       tonerlow false
     }
