HP Web Jetadmin - Columns and Filters Detail

Figure 10 – Tools, Options Exporting SNMP Traps Table, All
Some complex columns exist in a
tabular form and provide no clear
way of selecting specific instances or
settings within the complex detail.
The SNMP Traps Destination Table
column is a good example of a
complex column of this type. In this
case, the only selectable complex
column details are Maximum Entries
and Number of Entries. The entries
themselves are not selectable due to
the potential variety of SNMP trap
tables available in HP Jetdirect print
servers. In the case of the Traps
Destination Table, we must use the
All Entries column (shown in
Figure 10).
NOTE The All Entries column item
is only found in the Tools, Export
devices feature on the HP Web
Jetadmin menu bar. While the actual
contents of the SNMP Trap
Destination Table can be viewed as
a tool-tip from a device in an
HP Web Jetadmin device list, the
contents can only be exported via
the Tools, Options feature as shown
in Figure 10.
Exporting tabular details is probably best done
with the XML file format. Notice in Figure 11 that
the XML details can be easily read and that
TrapTable.Items shows the actual content of the
device’s Trap Destination Table. By observing the
top level item TrapTable, you can understand that
four of the five possible entries are being used in
this case. Of course, this same detail can be
exported to CSV format, but the actual contents of
the Trap Destination Table remains in XML format
between quotes within a comma-separated cell.
Notice that in some cases what is viewed in a
complex column by hovering over the column is
not necessarily exported as such. For example, if
the column for Storage Media is enabled and
subsequently exported, all that will be exported is
the high level integer value for Storage Device
Count, not the complex information that would be
viewed when hovering over the value in the
column. In order to export that information, start
the export wizard and drill down to the Storage
Media column. Another selection will be visible
