How to convert printer message to normal text in zabbix?

Question

System administration

Good afternoon!
My zabbix server collects data from different models of network printers and most give their status in numbers or messages in English. But there are about 40 percent of Lexmark printers that give many data as text data, perceived by zabbix in hexadecimal codes. Apparently the encoding is utf8, which the server does not reverse. At the output I get something like

BA DE DC DF DB D5 DA E2 20 C2 BE

.
Is it possible to do some kind of conversion or set the default encoding to utf8?

Answer 1

Make the data collection method an external script. In the script, receive data from the printer, parse it and send it in its pure form for zabbix.

Answer 2

zabbix has a value conversion try through it, this is how I convert the state of the aps. Administration-General in the right corner, from the drop-down list, select the value transformation.
