# snmpm

### MODULE

snmpm

### MODULE SUMMARY

Interface functions to the SNMP toolkit manager

### DESCRIPTION

The module `snmpm` contains interface functions to the SNMP manager.

### Common Data Types

The following datatypes are used in the functions below:

- `oid() = [byte()]`
- `snmp_reply() = {error_status(), error_index(), varbinds()}`
- `error_status() = noError | atom()`
- `error_index() = integer()`
- `varbinds() = [varbind()]`

The `oid()` type is used to represent an ASN.1 OBJECT IDENTIFIER.

### EXPORTS

`monitor() -> Ref`

Types:

`Ref = reference()`

Monitor the SNMP manager. In case of a crash, the calling (monitoring) process will get a 'DOWN' message (see the erlang module for more info).

`demonitor(Ref) -> void()`

Types:

`Ref = reference()`

Turn off monitoring of the SNMP manager.

`notify_started(Timeout) -> Pid`

Types:

`Timeout = integer()`
`Pid = pid()`

Request a notification (message) when the SNMP manager has started.

The `Timeout` is the time the request is valid. The value has to be greater then zero.

The `Pid` is the process handling the supervision of the SNMP manager start. When the manager has started a completion message will be sent to the client from this process: `{snmpm_started, Pid}`. If the SNMP manager was not started in time, a timeout message will be sent to the client: `{snmpm_start_timeout, Pid}`.

A client application that is dependent on the SNMP manager will use this function in order to be notified of when the manager has started. There are two situtations when this is useful:

- During the start of a system, when a client application could start prior to the SNMP manager but is dependent upon it, and therefor has to wait for it to start.
- When the SNMP manager has crashed, the dependent client application has to wait for the SNMP manager to be restarted before it can reconnect.

The function returnes the pid() of a handler process, that does the supervision on behalf of the client application. Note that the client application is linked to this handler.

This function is used in conjuction with the monitor function.

`cancel_notify_started(Pid) -> void()`

Types:

`Pid = pid()`

Cancel a previous request to be notified of SNMP manager start.

`register_user(Id, Module, Data) -> ok | {error, Reason}`

Types:

`Id = term()`
`Module = snmpm_user()`
`Data = term()`
`Reason = term()`
`snmpm_user() = Module implementing the snmpm_user behaviour`

Register the manager entity (=user) responsible for specific agent(s).

`Module` is the callback module (snmpm_user behaviour) which will be called whenever something happens (detected agent, incomming reply or incomming trap/notification). Note that this could have already been done as a consequence of the node config. (see users.conf).

`register_user_monitor(Id, Module, Data) -> ok | {error, Reason}`

Types:

`Id = term()`
`Module = snmpm_user()`
`Data = term()`
`Reason = term()`
`snmpm_user() = Module implementing the snmpm_user behaviour`

Register the monitored manager entity (=user) responsible for specific agent(s).

The process performing the registration will be monitored. Which means that if that process should die, all agents registered by that user process will be unregistered. All outstanding requsts will be canceled.

`Module` is the callback module (snmpm_user behaviour) which will be called whenever something happens (detected agent, incomming reply or incomming trap/notification). Note that this could have already been done as a consequence of the node config. (see users.conf).

`unregister_user(Id) -> ok | {error, Reason}`

Types:

`Id = term()`

Unregister the user.

`which_users() -> Users`

Types:

`Val = term()`
`Reason = term()`

Explicitly instruct the manager to handle this agent, with `UserId` as the responsible user. Called to instruct the manager that this agent shall be handled. These functions is used when the user know's in advance which agents the manager shall handle. Note that there is an alternate way to do the same thing: Add the agent to the manager config files (see agents.conf).

`change_log_size(NewSize) -> ok | {error, Reason}`

Types:

`NewSize = {MaxBytes, MaxFiles}`
`MaxBytes = integer()`
`MaxFiles = integer()`

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 remebered across reboots.

`load_mib(Mib) -> ok | {error, Reason}`

Load a `Mib` into the manager. The `MibName` is the name of the Mib, including the path to where the compiled mib is found. For example,

`unload_mib(Mib) -> ok | {error, Reason}`

Types:

`Mib = MibName`
`MibName = string()`
`Reason = term()`

Unload a `Mib` from the manager. 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/",
              snmpm:unload_mib(Dir ++ "MY-MIB").

Get a list of all the mib's loaded into the manager.

`name_to_oid(Name) -> {ok, Oids} | {error, Reason}`

Types:

`Name = atom()`
`Oids = [oid()]`

Transform a aliasname to it's oid.

Note that an aliasname is only unique within the mib, so when loading several mib's into a manager, there might be several instances of the same aliasname.

Types:

`Oid = oid()`
`Name = atom()`
`Reason = term()`

Transform a oid to it's aliasname.

Types:

`Ref = server | config | net_if | note_store | all`
`Verbosity = verbosity()`

`format_reason(Reason) -> string()`
`format_reason(Prefix, Reason) -> string()`

Types:

`Reason = term()`
`Prefix = integer() | string()`

This utility function is used to create a formatted (pretty printable) string of the error reason received from either:

- The `Reason` returned value if any of the sync/async get/get-next/set/get-bulk functions returnes `{error, Reason}`
- The `Reason` parameter in the handle_error user callback function.

`Prefix` should either be an indention string (e.g. a list of spaces) or a positive integer (wich will be used to create the indention string of that length).
