Hi;
You may even use SNMP, and these might be interesting OID's:
1.3.6.1.2.1.25.3.2.1.5.1 => hrDeviceStatus: unknown(1), running(2), warning(3), testing(4), down(5)
1.3.6.1.2.1.43.16.5.1.2.1.1 => First line of printer console (in hex values)
In order to get more human-readable output from the latter, you may want to modify the check_snmp plugin and add the T
parameter to the snmpget function call parameters. :)
Best regards
