jmGeneralNumberOfActiveJobs

Module: Job-Monitoring-MIB

OID (symbolic): Job-Monitoring-MIB::jmGeneralNumberOfActiveJobs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2699.1.1.1.1.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The current number of 'active' jobs in the jmJobIDTable, jmJobTable, and jmAttributeTable, i.e., the total number of jobs that are in the pending, processing, or processingStopped states. See the JmJobStateTC textual-convention for the exact specification of the semantics of the job states.

What is jmGeneralNumberOfActiveJobs?

This read-only value reports the current count of jobs (such as print jobs) that are in an 'active' state: pending, processing, or processingStopped. An admin polls it as a quick health check on a job queue's backlog before drilling into individual job details. For example, a value climbing steadily on a print server suggests jobs are queuing faster than the printer can process them.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2699.1.1.1.1.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> Job-Monitoring-MIB::jmGeneralNumberOfActiveJobs

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2699.1.1.1.1.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> Job-Monitoring-MIB::jmGeneralNumberOfActiveJobs.1

Create custom SNMP monitor using the Job-Monitoring-MIB::jmGeneralNumberOfActiveJobs OID value, configure state conditions and alerts, and monitor any Vendor-neutral IETF standard, RFC 2564 (network printers/print servers/MFDs) from a single console.

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a device implementing Job-Monitoring-MIB as the target host to create a monitor — the SNMP service should be up and running on it. Click New Monitor, then check SNMP Custom on the Favorites tab, click Next, and confirm the host. On the next page, click Select... to open the built-in SNMP MIB Browser and type jmGeneralNumberOfActiveJobs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, selecting the specific row/instance you want to monitor since this is a table column, then select it and click OK. The current number of 'active' jobs in the jmJobIDTable, jmJobTable, and jmAttributeTable, i.e., the total number of jobs that are in the pending, processing, or processingStopped states. On the monitor's Main parameters page you can set the target's SNMP port (default 161), credentials, polling interval, and other settings — see the SNMP Monitor help for details. On the State conditions and Alerting tabs, configure when the monitor should change state and trigger an alert; since this is an Integer32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the count changes from its expected baseline, since that would indicate the underlying set of items changed unexpectedly. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
