# Equitrac config monitor Solarwinds
This is a script and APM template for monitoring the config of an Equitrac enabled printer.
This will alert if the config of a printer is cleared out due to a current bug.
## Download
You can download the template from the [releases page](/releases) under assets.
## Checks used
The checks are hardcoded in the template script.
Modify them as needed on line [line 82-84](./blob/main/data/equitrac-status-solarwinds.ps1#L82), and the network error at [line 55](./blob/main/data/equitrac-status-solarwinds.ps1#L55)
Currently it checks if (OR):
- The Server URL starts with `0.`
- The Manager ID starts with `1234`
- The Scan To Email Originator is empty
- The request failed
These can be prioritized differently as needed under the component settings.
Output value `0` is OK, `1` is error on that field.
## Usage in Solarwinds
### Importing the template
1. Go to "SAM Settings".
2. Then "Manage Templates" under "APPLICATION MONITOR TEMPLATES".
3. Import the file from the toolbar (at the top of the table).
