Module: XEROX-JOB-MONITORING-MIB

OID (symbolic): XEROX-JOB-MONITORING-MIB::xcmJobInterveningJobs

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.253.8.59.14.1.1.5

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Integer32

Access: read-only

Description: The number of jobs that are expected to complete before this job is completed according to the implementation's queuing and processing algorithm if no other jobs were to be submitted. In other words, this value is the job's queue position. The agent SHALL return a value of 0 for this object when there are no other jobs that are expected to complete before this job.

A value of (-2) shall be used when the number of intervening jobs is unknown.

NOTE the ISO DPA language does not include the case when multiple jobs are in the 'processing' (or printing) state: ISO DPA: Intervening-jobs This attribute indicates the number of other jobs to be processed before this job may be scheduled for processing. The server shall set the value of this attribute to 0 when the job begins processing.

What is xcmJobInterveningJobs?

This read-only Integer32 reports the job's position in the processing queue, i.e. how many other jobs are expected to complete before this one, with 0 meaning it's next and -2 meaning the position is unknown. An admin uses this to tell a user roughly how far back their job is in the queue on a busy shared device.

Examples

How to Use in IPNetwork Monitor

Select a Xerox network printer 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 xcmJobInterveningJobs into the Find box to locate it in the OID tree, then select it and click OK. It reports how many print jobs are queued ahead of this job and expected to complete first. 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 queue depth ahead of a job exceeds a threshold like 20, which can flag a print queue backing up. Click Finish to create the monitor; you can adjust any parameter later.
