Description: Provides diagnostic test execution and result objects for Samsung SCMI WG managed devices.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is SAMSUNG-DIAGNOSTICS-MIB?

SAMSUNG-DIAGNOSTICS-MIB is a Samsung MIB module developed under the SCMI (Samsung/printer imaging working group) standard for exposing diagnostic test execution and result data on Samsung SCMI-managed devices, primarily printers and multifunction devices. It belongs to the Samsung printer/imaging management MIB family and is closely modeled on standard printer diagnostics concepts. Its data covers device-level fault/diagnostic status: a diagnostics device table that identifies each diagnosable component by type and description, reports its current status and error codes, and supports triggering diagnostic test requests, which is a direct hardware/software health-check mechanism for the device. It also exposes firmware image file naming, tying diagnostics to firmware management. It builds conceptually on the Printer MIB (RFC 3805) framework and is deployed on Samsung printers and MFPs supporting SCMI-based remote diagnostics. Network engineers evaluating or troubleshooting this functionality can download the SAMSUNG-DIAGNOSTICS-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in SAMSUNG-DIAGNOSTICS-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

Samsung SCMI-compliant printers and multifunction devices (MFPs)

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would walk scmDiagnosticsDeviceTable/scmDiagnosticsDeviceEntry (keyed by scmDiagnosticsDeviceIndex) to check scmDiagnosticsDeviceType, scmDiagnosticsDeviceStatus, and scmDiagnosticsDeviceErrors for each diagnosable component (e.g., a print engine or fuser), then use scmDiagnosticsRequest to trigger a new diagnostic test. A non-zero scmDiagnosticsDeviceErrors value alongside a degraded scmDiagnosticsDeviceStatus would indicate a hardware component needing service, while scmGenBaseDeviceImageFileName would be checked to confirm the firmware image associated with the diagnostic run.

diagnostic device status
diagnostic device error codes
diagnostic test request/execution
firmware image file name

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Example using scmDiagnosticsDeviceErrors OID:

Select a Samsung SCMI-compliant printer or multifunction device (MFP) (diagnostic test execution/results) 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 scmDiagnosticsDeviceErrors 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 number of errors detected on this device. 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 a Counter32-type OID, Value bounds is the most useful condition here — trigger an alert if the counter increases between polls, since a rising count of errors, failures, or discards often points to a real underlying problem. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.

STR scmDiagnosticsDeviceDescr	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1.4	DisplayString	read-only	A description of the type and instance of the storage described by this entry.
scmDiagnosticsDeviceEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1		not-accessible	A row entry of general counters and summary information for ease of use of the overall Document Resources MIB on this host system. The Document Resources General table has exactly one row entry, with an scmDiagnosticsIndex value of 1.
CTR scmDiagnosticsDeviceErrorsEx	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1.7	Counter	read-only	The number of errors detected on this device. It should be noted that as this object has a SYNTAX of Counter, that it does not have a defined initial value. However, it is recommended that this object be initialized to zero.
INT scmDiagnosticsDeviceID	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1.5	INTEGER	read-only	The product ID for this device.
INT scmDiagnosticsDeviceIndex	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	A unique value for each device contained by the host. The value for each device must remain constant at least from one re-initialization of the agent to the next re-initialization.
STR scmDiagnosticsDeviceItem	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1.2	DisplayString	read-only	An indication of the Item of device.
INT scmDiagnosticsDeviceStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1.6	INTEGER	read-only	The current operational state of the device described by this row of the table. A value unknown(1) indicates that the current state of the device is unknown. running(2) indicates that the device is up and running and that no unusual error conditions are known. The warning(3) state indicates that agent has been informed of an unusual error condition by the operational software (e.g., a disk device driver) but that the device is still 'operational'. An example would be high number of soft errors on a disk. A value of testing(4), indicates that the device is not available for use because it is in the testing state. The state of down(5) is used only when the agent has been informed that the device is not available for any use.
scmDiagnosticsDeviceTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2		not-accessible	A table of general counters and summary information for ease of use of the overall Document Resources MIB on this host system. This Document Resources General table has exactly one row, with an scmDiagnosticsIndex value of 1.
INT scmDiagnosticsDeviceType	1.3.6.1.4.1.236.11.5.11.64.1.2.1.3	INTEGER	read-only	An indication of the type of device. If this value is `hrDeviceProcessor hrDeviceTypes 3 ' then an entry exists in the hrProcessorTable which corresponds to this device. If this value is `hrDeviceNetwork hrDeviceTypes 4 ', then an entry exists in the hrNetworkTable which corresponds to this device. If this value is `hrDevicePrinter hrDeviceTypes 5 ', then an entry exists in the hrPrinterTable which corresponds to this device. If this value is `hrDeviceDiskStorage hrDeviceTypes 6 ', then an entry exists in the hrDiskStorageTable which corresponds to this device.
