Monitoring printer ink level and utilization
Note: This example is provided as an illustration only and is not supported. Technical support
is available for the Context object, SNMP API, and scripting environment, but Ipswitch does
not provide support for JScript, VBScript, or developing and debugging Active Script
monitors or actions. For assistance with this example or with writing your own scripts, visit
the WhatsUp Gold user community (http://www.whatsupgold.com/wugspace).
This active monitor polls an object of the printer mib to gather the ink level information and
then computes the ink percent utilization of a printer.
The active monitor will fire an alert if the utilization exceeds a value set on the first line of the
script.
Note: This script was tested on an HP MIB.
