Zabbix - Event Logging - Printer Reporting
-
So with the help of @dafyre I've got a Zabbix server up and running, and I'm trying to get some event logging going so I can some things.
One of the things I want to be able to track is print jobs, page counts (per job) who printed what, to whichever printer, and when the job was printed.
All of this information is available, and PowerShell can pull it. with the use of "Get-WinEvent -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ComputerName $PrintServerName -FilterHashTable @{ProviderName="Microsoft-Windows-PrintService"
The pertinent part as far as I know should be the "Microsoft-Windows-PrintService" for the Event log.
I'm getting nothing for logging from this system at all.
I have the zabbix service running, have restarted it, and I'm getting other information. That doesn't require the zabbix agent; IE "are you up ping, yep ok"
Any ideas on what might be going on? Are there any zabbix experts out there who might have an idea on how to get this going?

So you do or you do not have the agent installed?

The agent is installed and running.
-
Are other events coming through?
-
None from the system I'm attempting to pull logs from.
From my workstation, where I tested I'm getting logs.

Which to me, would indicate a firewall or whatever is causing issues.
Just not sure where to look to address the issue / what the issue might be specifically. As I am able to get basic "non-agent" based information from the system.

Firewall blocking the agent? Seems unlikely.

That was my thought as well, I just confirmed my firewall is set up to allow the same exact settings as the system I actually want to pull data from.
Yet I'm getting nothing from the print server. But my system is generating logs without issue.

@DustinB3403 you should consider using Printer Logger by PaperCut. I am very happy with it
-
The logging even shows up in different areas for each of the two systems.
My system ends in W7D.
Highlighted to show the target system I want the logs from.
