Insight Discovery custom pattern for xerox, hp, and zebra printers

[Alan Bruce]

Hello, How do i go about getting a custom pattern for my printers so that I can get useful information from a scan for these devices?

• Printer Name
• IP Address
• Model
• Serial Number
• Location
• Xerox Asset tag
• etc.

Hi Alan.

      Nice to see you here as well ;)

The SNMP data out of the box, used to scan devices such as Printers, is pretty limited (see here). This is because every vendor can use SNMP MIBs in it's own way. We cannot know in advance which numbers are delivering the specific information that you would like to retrieve. The SNMP pattern delivered with Discovery only have the MIB Information for some default SNMP Devices, As we have tested these against some P-Cameras and Ubuntu-Server (with SNMP installed).

If you can get the SNMP Information with a MIB Browser, running an SNMP walk, Then you will be able to see which MIBs are delivering which information. You can then create your own Custom Pattern, or you can add this info to a Support Ticket with us, so we may be able to create a Costume Pattern which you can then use to scan the Printers in detail, as Devices. (see some Custom patterns here)

Kind regards,

Yinon
