cups.plugin
collects Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) metrics.
This plugin needs a running local CUPS daemon (cupsd
). This plugin does not need any configuration. Supports cups since version 1.7.
cups.plugin
provides one common section destinations
and one section per destination.
Destinations in CUPS represent individual printers or classes (collections or pools) of printers (https://www.cups.org/doc/cupspm.html#working-with-destinations)
The section server
provides these charts:
-
destinations by state
- idle
- printing
- stopped
-
destinations by options
- total
- accepting jobs
- shared
-
total job number by status
- pending
- processing
- held
-
total job size by status
- pending
- processing
- held
For each destination the plugin provides these charts:
-
job number by status
- pending
- held
- processing
-
job size by status
- pending
- held
- processing
At the moment only job status pending, processing, and held are reported because we do not have a method to collect stopped, canceled, aborted and completed jobs which scales.
