Service State Translation upon Summary instead of Service Name

Hi there
How can I do a Service State Translate based on the Summary instead of the Service Name?

For Example, i have some printers and they give the summary “marker: xy” back - i will ignore these States, but i want the real errors:

I don’t have experience using it myself, but I believe you can send services with logs (and would assume alerts from printers then too) to the event console for further analysis with all kinds of rules.

See article in docs:

Or if you prefer a video:

Thanks for your input.

I wanted to avoid events and snmp traps. I would like to think of a simpler solution like state translation.

What is your desired output? Do you have a lookup table what “marker: number” means and want to show it directly in service output?

You can rewrite the output of the summary with the [Service state translation]:
