I am New to Icinga, after adding the hosts i installed check_snmp_printer plugin from the community to use it as a service: check_snmp_printer :: Icinga Exchange

Your executed command is missing the required option what you actually want to check. Messages, Model, etc…
Besides that… “-r 3” seems not to be a valid option.

can you please guide me on how to do it exactly? this is the first plugin i am deploying, i checked some decomentations and played around a bit, but sadly i didn’t succeed to make it works.

It seems you are working with director? First you need to define the command for check_snmp_printer. Put all your arguments into “Arguments” (like argument name “-C”, value “public” or “-H” “$host.address$”, “–consum” “empty value” ) and all variables that you want to change in the service into “Fields”. Then you can define the Service or the template for your check.

I don’t know where that command line comes from exactly, to help you with debugging it.
