prometheus-ricoh-printer-exporter

Building a prometheus exporter for ricoh-printer related information like toner level

Install

You can install the exporter from this repository using the following command: pip install git+https://github.com/o-druska/prometheus-ricoh-printer-exporter.git

Test

To test the exporter, you can host the script on your own machine:

1. prometheus_ricoh_printer_exporter (make sure you installed via pip)
2. (from another terminal) curl 127.0.0.1:9840

Running curl 127.0.0.1:9840 should give you an output of similar structure like this:

# HELP ricoh_printer_level_percent black toner level in percent
# TYPE ricoh_printer_level_percent gauge
ricoh_printer_level_percent{color="black",printer_name="oak.inm7.de"} 50.0

(The output should be similar for other data points, i.e. cyan)
