Summary
Types
Module implementing the snmpa_discovery_handler behaviour.
How shall (notification) delivery info be reported.
Functions
This function can be used to add an AGENT-CAPABILITY statement to the sysORTable in the agent. The table is defined in the SNMPv2-MIB.

Functions
Types
Index = integer()
This function can be used to add an AGENT-CAPABILITY statement to the sysORTable in the agent. The table is defined in the SNMPv2-MIB.
Types
Agent = pid() | AgentName
BackupDir = string()
Result = ok | {error, Reason}
Reason = backup_in_progress | term()
AgentName = atom()
Backup persistent/permanent data handled by the agent (such as local-db, mib-data and vacm).
Data stored by mnesia is not handled.
BackupDir cannot be identical to DbDir.
Simultaneous backup calls are not allowed. That is, two different processes
cannot simultaneously successfully call this function. One of them will be
first, and succeed. The second will fail with the error reason
backup_in_progress.
change_log_size(NewSize :: snmp:log_size()) -> Result
Changes the log size of the Audit Trail Log. The application must be configured to use the audit trail log function. Please refer to disk_log(3) in Kernel Reference Manual for a description of how to change the log size.
The change is permanent, as long as the log is not deleted. That means, the log size is remembered across reboots.
convert_config(OldConfig :: list()) -> NewConfig
Types
OldConfig = NewConfig = list()
This off-line utility function can be used to convert the old snmp application config (pre snmp-4.0) to the new snmp agent config (as of snmp-4.0).

Initiate the discovery process with the manager identified by TargetName using
the notification Notification.
This function is synchronous, which means that it will return when the discovery process has been completed or failed.
The DiscoHandler module is used during the discovery process. See
discovery handler for more info.
The ExtraInfo argument is passed on to the callback functions of the
DiscoHandler.
Note
If we are not at security-level noAuthNoPriv, this could be complicated,
since the agent will then continue with stage 2, before which the usm-related
updates must be done.
Note
The default discovery handler will require additional actions by the caller
and the discovery will not work if the security-level is higher then
noAuthNoPriv.
Types
AgentName = atom()
Enable the mib server cache.
Types
AgentName = atom()
Enable automatic gc of the mib server cache.
Converts the symbolic value Enum to the corresponding integer of the
enumerated object or type Name in a MIB. The MIB must be loaded.
false is returned if the object or type is not defined in any loaded MIB, or
if it does not define the symbolic value as enumerated.

Performs a GET-NEXT operation on the agent. All loaded MIB objects are visible in this operation. The agent calls the corresponding instrumentation functions just as if it was a GET request coming from a manager.
Note that the request specific parameters (such as snmpa:current_request_id/0
are not accessible for the instrumentation functions if this function is used.
info(Agent :: pid() | AgentName) -> Info
Returns a list (a dictionary) containing information about the agent. Information includes loaded MIBs, registered sub-agents, some information about the memory allocation.
Converts the integer Int to the corresponding symbolic value of the enumerated
object or type Name in a MIB. The MIB must be loaded.

Invalidate the mib server cache.
The entire contents of the cache will be deleted.
Load a single Mib into an agent. The MibName is the name of the Mib,
including the path to where the compiled mib is found. For example:
Dir = code:priv_dir(my_app) ++ "/mibs/",
snmpa:load_mib(snmp_master_agent, Dir ++ "MY-MIB").

Load Mibs into an agent. If the agent cannot load all MIBs (the default value
of the Force argument is false), it will indicate where loading was aborted.
The MibName is the name of the Mib, including the path to where the compiled
mib is found. For example,
Dir = code:priv_dir(my_app) ++ "/mibs/",
snmpa:load_mibs(snmp_master_agent, [Dir ++ "MY-MIB"]).If Force = true then the agent will continue attempting to load each mib even
after failing to load a previous mib. Use with care.

Registers a sub-agent under a sub-tree of another agent.
It is easy to make mistakes when registering sub-agents and this activity should be done carefully. For example, a strange behaviour would result from the following configuration:
snmp_agent:register_subagent(MAPid,[1,2,3,4],SA1),
snmp_agent:register_subagent(SA1,[1,2,3], SA2).SA2 will not get requests starting with object identifier [1,2,3] since
SA1 does not.

Send the notification Notification to the management targets defined for
notify-name (name) in the snmpNotifyTable in SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB from the
specified context.
If no name is specified (or if it is ""), the notification is sent to all
management targets.
If no context is specified, the default context, "", is used.
The send option receiver specifies where information about delivery of
Inform-Requests should be sent. The agent sends Inform-Requests and waits for
acknowledgments from the management targets. The receiver can have three
values:
no_receiver- No information is delivered.notification_delivery_info/0- The information is delivered via a function call according to this data.{tag(), tag_receiver()}- The information is delivered either via messages or via a function call according to the value oftag_receiver().Delivery is done differently depending on the value of
tag_receiver():pid() | registered_name()- The info will be delivered in the following messages:{snmp_targets, tag(), Addresses}This informs the user which target addresses the notification was sent to.
{snmp_notification, tag(), {got_response, Address}}This informs the user that this target address acknowledged the notification.
{snmp_notification, tag(), {no_response, Address}}This informs the user that this target address did not acknowledge the notification.
The notification is sent as an Inform-Request to each target address in
Addressesand if there are no targets for which an Inform-Request is sent,Addressesis the empty list[].The
tag_receiver()will first be sent thesnmp_targetsmessage, and then for each address inAddresseslist, one of the twosnmp_notificationmessages.{Mod, Func, Args}- The info will be delivered via the function call:Mod:Func([Msg | Args])where
Msghas the same content and purpose as the messages descrived above.
The 'process oid' "tag" that can be provided with the variable name / oids is
intended to be used for oid post processing. The value 'keep', which is the
default, leaves the oid as is. The value 'truncate', will cause the oid to be
"truncated". That is, any trailing ".0" will be removed.
Note
There is a way to exclude a varbind from the notification. In the normal
varbinds list, providing the special value '$ignore-oid' (instead of a
normal value) will exclude this varbind from the notification.
A define for this has been added to the snmp_types.hrl include file,
NOTIFICATION_IGNORE_VB_VALUE.
Note
The extra info is not normally interpreted by the agent, instead it is
passed through to the net-if process. It is up to the
implementor of that process to make use of this data.
The version of net-if provided by this application makes no use of this data,
with one exception: Any tuple containing the atom
snmpa_default_notification_extra_info may be used by the agent and is
therefore reserved.
See the net-if incoming messages for sending a trap and notification for more info.

Sends the notification Notification to the management targets defined for
NotifyName in the snmpNotifyTable in SNMP-NOTIFICATION-MIB from the
specified context.
If no NotifyName is specified (or if it is ""), the notification is sent to
all management targets (Addresses below).
If no ContextName is specified, the default "" context is used.
The parameter Receiver specifies where information about delivery of
Inform-Requests should be sent. The agent sends Inform-Requests and waits for
acknowledgments from the managers. Receiver can have three values:
no_receiver- No information is delivered.notification_delivery_info/0- The information is delivered via a function call according to this data.{Tag, Recv}- The information is delivered either via messages or via a function call according to the value ofRecv.
If Receiver has the value {Tag, Recv}, the delivery is done according to
Recv:
pid() | atom()- The info will be delivered in the following messages:{snmp_targets, Tag, Addresses}This inform the user which target addresses the notification was sent to.
{snmp_notification, Tag, {got_response, Address}}This informs the user that this target address acknowledged the notification.
{snmp_notification, Tag, {no_response, Address}}This informs the user that this target address did not acknowledge notification.
The notification is sent as an Inform-Request to each target address in
Addressesand if there are no targets for which an Inform-Request is sent,Addressesis the empty list[].The
receiverwill first be sent thesnmp_targetsmessage, and then for each address inAddresseslist, one of the twosnmp_notificationmessages.{Mod, Func, Args}- The info will be delivered via the function call:Mod:Func([Msg | Args])where
Msghas the same content and purpose as the messages descrived above.
Address is a management target address and Addresses is a list of management
target addresses. They are defined as followes:
Addresses = [address()]
Address = address()
address() = v1_address() | v3_address()
v1_address() = {TDomain, TAddress}
v3_address() = {{TDomain, TAddress}, V3MsgData}
TDomain = tdoamin()
TAddress = taddress()
tdomain() = The oid of snmpUDPDomain
This is the only supported transport domain.
taddress() = [A1, A2, A3, A4, P1, P3]
The 4 first bytes makes up the IP-address and the last 2,
the UDP-port number.
V3MsgData = v3_msg_data()
v3_msg_data() = term()If Receiver is a notification_delivery_info/0 record, then the information
about the notification delivery will be delivered to the receiver via the
callback functions defined by the snmpa_notification_delivery_info_receiver
behaviour according to the content of the notification_delivery_info/0
record.
The optional argument Varbinds defines values for the objects in the
notification. If no value is given for an object, the Agent performs a
get-operation to retrieve the value.
Varbinds is a list of Varbind, where each Varbind is one of:
{Variable, Value}, whereVariableis the symbolic name of a scalar variable referred to in the notification specification.{Column, RowIndex, Value}, whereColumnis the symbolic name of a column variable.RowIndexis a list of indices for the specified element. If this is the case, the OBJECT IDENTIFIER sent in the notification is theRowIndexappended to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER for the table column. This is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER which specifies the element.{OID, Value}, whereOIDis the OBJECT IDENTIFIER for an instance of an object, scalar variable, or column variable.
For example, to specify that sysLocation should have the value "upstairs" in
the notification, we could use one of:
{sysLocation, "upstairs"}or{[1,3,6,1,2,1,1,6,0], "upstairs"}or{?sysLocation_instance, "upstairs"}(provided that the generated.hrlfile is included)
If a variable in the notification is a table element, the RowIndex for the
element must be given in the Varbinds list. In this case, the OBJECT
IDENTIFIER sent in the notification is the OBJECT IDENTIFIER that identifies
this element. This OBJECT IDENTIFIER could be used in a get operation later.
This function is asynchronous, and does not return any information. If an error
occurs, user_err/2 of the error report module is called and the notification
is discarded.
Note
Note that the use of the LocalEngineID argument is only intended for special
cases, if the agent is to "emulate" multiple EngineIDs! By default, the agent
uses the value of SnmpEngineID (see SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB).
ExtraInfo is not normally used in any way by the agent. It is intended to be
passed along to the net-if process, which is a component that a user can
implement themself. The users own net-if may then make use of ExtraInfo. The
net-if provided with this application does not process ExtraInfo.
There is one exception. Any tuple containing the atom
snmpa_default_notification_extra_info will, in this context, be considered
belonging to this application, and may be processed by the agent.

Unload Mibs from an agent. If it cannot unload all MIBs (the default value of
the Force argument is false), it will indicate where unloading was aborted.
If Force = true then the agent will continue attempting to unload each mib
even after failing to unload a previous mib. Use with care.
