Displaying a different status info for a service check

[Ryan Suarez]

Hi Gerd,

Thanks for the reply.

check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrPrinterStatus.1 -r 
"(idle|printing)"

This checks if the printer is ready for printing.  The printer will 
return 'idle', 'printing', or 'other'.  But ,in the status info on the 
web interface, I would like to display the results of this instead:

snmpwalk -v1 -c public -Ov $host mib-2.43.16.5.1.2.1

This shows whats on on the printers display. 

So for example, if the service check goes to critical with 'other', the 
status info will show 'Toner Low' or 'Paper Jam', 'Hardware Error', etc...

thanks,
Ryan
