\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is a simple file that allows you to specify a title, a type\u00a0 (string or number) and the OID where the value should be looked up.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
For example, this OID returns the amount of Black Ink remaining in an HP printer: 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.4<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n So we can add this line to InventoryList.txt:<\/p>\n Black Ink, 1, 1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1.4<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n That will fetch the blank ink level, and store it in the inventory database with a label of Black Ink.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n You\u2019ll need to restart the monitoring service to get it to read the new values in InventoryList.txt.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n After the monitoring service restarts, the next step is to add the Black Ink to the System Details field list.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In the Console, right-click Servers\/Devices and go to Report Settings > Server Settings.\u00a0 \u00a0 Double-click the System Details panel.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Drag that field to the left side into the list of fields to be displayed.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Once the Inventory Collector monitor runs and collects the new Black Ink level, it will show up in System Details on the server status report.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Looks like we need to install some new ink!<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This might be a good time to mention that the Inventory Alerter<\/a> monitor can be set up to alert on inventory values, such as getting low on ink:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n![\"black](\"https:\/\/www.poweradmin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/inventory-black-ink-level.png\")
