Getting Started

These instructions assume your Icinga2 is installed on a RHEL/CentOS system. You may need to modify slightly to work with other systems.

Prerequisites

Perl >= 5.10

Net::SNMP perl module

Nagios plugins installed and located in /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins

Installing

Copy check_snmp_printer into your plugin directory and give it executable writes:

sudo cp ./check_snmp_printer /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/
chmod a+x /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_snmp_printer

Copy printers.conf into plugins-contrib.d folder:

sudo cp ./printers.conf /usr/share/icinga2/include/plugins-contrib.d/

Append services-printers.conf to the end of your Icinga2 services.conf:

cat ./services-printers.conf >> /etc/icinga2/conf.d/services.conf

If using Graphite, copy graphite templates to Icinga2 Graphite template folder:

sudo cp ./printer-consumables.ini /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/graphite/templates/
sudo cp ./printer-trays.ini /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/graphite/templates/
sudo cp ./printer-pagecount.ini /usr/share/icingaweb2/modules/graphite/templates/

If using Grafana, import JSON Dashboard (Graphite or InfluxDB) file and add graph dashboard information into module making sure to name the Dashboard printer-metrics:

sudo cat printer-metrics-graphs.ini >> /etc/icingaweb2/modules/grafana/graphs.ini

Restart Icinga2:

sudo systemctl restart icinga2
