CUPS queues missing when updating agent from 1.2.8p18 to 2.0.0p3 on Red Hat 6.8

[iPatch]

So as the title says, the section about CUPS queues is just missing from the agent output. I have been poking around a bit, but not found anything.

When running the old agent it’s still there.

I’m new to checkmk, so maybe I’m missing something obvious, but as I understand it that section should just be there natively? I mean, it doesn’t require any plugin or so, right?

Any thoughts?

There is an agent plugin mk_cups_queues, have you deployed that?

[iPatch]

Aha, no I haven’t. I can’t find it anywhere on the agent host, but maybe it wasn’t needed before?

Anyway, I’ll try that of course, but can’t find the docs.

Thanks!

@iPatch

but can’t find the docs.

You are right. Even the check manual page does not mention the agent plugin: CUPS Printer Queues: State

Pinging @martin.hirschvogel …

BTW: This has been changed in checkmk 1.5 over 4 years ago: cups_queues: Moved agent section into own plugin script

I added a hint in the manpage.
