Other ways of looking at supplies
There are many ways to get supplies information about devices from HP Web Jetadmin. Device status
shows supply levels in real time. Supply threshold and supply status alerts are available within
proactive alerts features. Supplies features are available any time a right-click is performed on one or
more devices within a list selection. A large number of columns can be enabled in HP Web Jetadmin
device Groups or lists that show supply status, including current levels. The following topics focus on
specific functionality related to supplies.
SUPPLIES ALERTS
HP Web Jetadmin offers proactive alerting features that detect device conditions or events and
forward notification about these conditions or events to subscribed recipients (most commonly via
email). Alerting within HP Web Jetadmin is divided into these parts:
• Supplies alerts
• General alerts
• Critical alerts
Supplies alerts settings can be found in all of these. Supplies alerts contain threshold settings that
allow detection of device supplies as they cross a user-specified threshold. General and critical alerts
contain supplies alerts settings that are based on device status. In all cases, these alerts features can
notify users almost immediately after the actual occurrence. All alerts are logged into alerts history
and can also be logged to file. Further, email notification or SNMP traps forwarding can be enabled
to convey alerts messages to end user email boxes or to other systems and processes. For more
information regarding HP Web Jetadmin alerts, see the Help function or the Using Proactive Alerts
with HP Web Jetadmin white paper, which can be found at the Self Help and Documentation tab at
www.hp.com/go/wja.
REPORTS AND SUPPLIES
HP Web Jetadmin has powerful data collection and reporting features that allow historic data tracking
and reporting. These features include supplies reports that can be used to report on the current state
of supplies and predict future supply needs. Reporting features in HP Web Jetadmin are enabled in a
two-step process:
• First, add devices to data collections for the specific type of reporting required. In the case of
supplies, add the devices to the supplies data collection and allow some time to pass in order for
HP Web Jetadmin to gather data about device supplies and supply levels.
• Second, enable reports features once the device data collections features have had time to gather
supplies information.
NOTE Depending on the type of supply report desired, data collections might need to occur over a
period of several days.
Reports for device supplies include the following:
• Supply ordering report
• Supply replacement forecast report
• Supply usage report
Reports can be generated individually as needed or via reports templates settings. Both reports and
alerts features can be enabled via Device Groups Policies, allowing automatic settings and supplies
management. For more information on reporting features within HP Web Jetadmin software, see the
Help function or the Creating Reports and Exporting Data in HP Web Jetadmin white paper, which
can be found at www.hp.com/go/wja.
