NAME

       snmpa - Interface Functions to the SNMP toolkit agent

DESCRIPTION

       The module snmpa contains interface functions to the SNMP agent.

DATA TYPES

       oid() = [byte()]
       atl_type() = read | write | read_write
       notification_delivery_info() = #snmpa_notification_delivery_info{}

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

       The record snmpa_notification_delivery_info contains the following fields:

         tag = term():
           A user defined identity representing this notification send operation.

         mod = module():
           A  module  implementing  the  snmpa_notification_delivery_info_receiver behaviour. The
           info functions of this module will be called at various stages of delivery.

         extra = term():
           This is any extra info the user wants to have  supplied  when  the  functions  in  the
           callback module is called.

EXPORTS

       add_agent_caps(SysORID, SysORDescr) -> SysORIndex

              Types:

                 SysORID = oid()
                 SysORDescr = string()
                 SysORIndex = 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.

       del_agent_caps(SysORIndex) -> void()

              Types:

                 SysORIndex = integer()

              This function can be used to delete an AGENT-CAPABILITY statement to the sysORTable
              in the agent. This table is defined in the SNMPv2-MIB.

       get_agent_caps() -> [[SysORIndex, SysORID, SysORDescr, SysORUpTime]]

              Types:

                 SysORIndex = integer()
                 SysORId = oid()
                 SysORDescr = string()
                 SysORUpTime = integer()

              Returns  all AGENT-CAPABILITY statements in the sysORTable in the agent. This table
              is defined in the SNMPv2-MIB.

       get(Agent, Vars) -> Values | {error, Reason}
       get(Agent, Vars, Context) -> Values | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 Vars = [oid()]
                 Context = string()
                 Values = [term()]
                 Reason = {atom(), oid()}

              Performs a GET 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  current_request_id)  are  not
              accessible for the instrumentation functions if this function is used.

       get_next(Agent, Vars) -> Values | {error, Reason}
       get_next(Agent, Vars, Context) -> Values | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 Vars = [oid()]
                 Context = string()
                 Values = [{oid(), term()}]
                 Reason = {atom(), oid()}

              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.

       backup(BackupDir) -> ok | {error, Reason}
       backup(Agent, BackupDir) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 BackupDir = string()
                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 Reason = backup_in_progress | term()

              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.

       info() -> [{Key, Value}]
       info(Agent) -> [{Key, Value}]

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()

              Returns  a  list (a dictionary) containing information about the agent. Information
              includes loaded MIBs, registered sub-agents,  some  information  about  the  memory
              allocation.

              As  of  version 4.4 the format of the info has been changed. To convert the info to
              the old format, call the old_info_format function.

       old_info_format(NewInfo) -> OldInfo

              Types:

                 OldInfo = NewInfo = [{Key, Value}]

              As of version 4.4 the format of the info has been changed. This function is used to
              convert to the old (pre-4.4) info format.

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

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 MibName = string()
                 Reason = already_loaded | term()

              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(Mibs) -> ok | {error, Reason}
       load_mibs(Mibs, Force) -> ok | {error, Reason}
       load_mibs(Agent, Mibs) -> ok | {error, Reason}
       load_mibs(Agent, Mibs, Force) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 Mibs = [MibName]
                 Force = boolean()
                 MibName = string()
                 Reason = {'load aborted at', MibName, InternalReason}
                 InternalReason = already_loaded | term()

              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.

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

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 MibName = string()
                 Reason = not_loaded | term()

              Unload a single Mib from an agent.

       unload_mibs(Mibs) -> ok | {error, Reason}
       unload_mibs(Mibs, Force) -> ok | {error, Reason}
       unload_mibs(Agent, Mibs) -> ok | {error, Reason}
       unload_mibs(Agent, Mibs, Force) -> ok | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 Mibs = [MibName]
                 Force = boolean()
                 MibName = string()
                 Reason = {'unload aborted at', MibName, InternalReason}
                 InternalReason = not_loaded | term()

              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.

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 Mibs = [{MibName, MibFile}]
                 MibName = atom()
                 MibFile = string()

              Retrieve the list of all the mibs loaded into this agent.  Default  is  the  master
              agent.

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 MibName = atom()
                 MibFile = string()
                 Reason = term()

              Get the full path to the (compiled) mib-file.

       current_request_id() -> {value, RequestId} | false

              Get  the  request-id, context, community and address of the request currently being
              processed by the agent.

              Note that these functions is intended to be called by the instrumentation functions
              and only if they are executed in the context of the agent process (e.g. it does not
              work if called from a spawned process).

       enum_to_int(Name, Enum) -> {value, Int} | false
       enum_to_int(Db, Name, Enum) -> {value, Int} | false

              Types:

                 Enum = atom()
                 Int = int()

              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.

              Db is a  reference  to  the  symbolic  store  database  (retrieved  by  a  call  to
              get_symbolic_store_db/0).

                 Int = int()
                 Enum = atom()

              Converts  the  integer  Int  to  the corresponding symbolic value 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.

              Db  is  a  reference  to  the  symbolic  store  database  (retrieved  by  a call to

                 Name = atom()

              Looks up the OBJECT IDENTIFIER of a MIB object, given the symbolic name. Note,  the
              OBJECT IDENTIFIER is given for the object, not for an instance.

              false is returned if the object is not defined in any loaded MIB.

              Db  is  a  reference  to  the  symbolic  store  database  (retrieved  by  a call to

                 MaxFiles = integer()
                 Reason = term()

              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(3erl)  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.

       set_log_type(NewType) -> {ok, OldType} | {error, Reason}
       set_log_type(Agent, NewType) -> {ok, OldType} | {error, Reason}

              Changes the run-time Audit Trail log type.

              Note that this has no  effect  on  the  application  configuration  as  defined  by
              configuration  files,  so  a  node restart will revert the config to whatever is in
              those files.

              This function is primarily useful in testing/debugging scenarios.

              Registers a notification filter.

              Mod is a module implementing the snmpa_notification_filter behaviour.

              Data will be passed on to the filter when calling the functions of the behaviour.

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

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 Reason = term()

              Changes the request limit.

              Note  that  this  has  no  effect  on  the  application configuration as defined by
              configuration files, so a node restart will revert the config  to  whatever  is  in
              those files.

              This function is primarily useful in load regulation scenarios.

       register_subagent(Agent, SubTreeOid, Subagent) -> ok | {error, Reason}

                 SubTreeOid = oid()
                 SubAgent = pid()

              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.

       unregister_subagent(Agent, SubagentOidOrPid) -> ok | {ok, SubAgentPid} | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()
                 SubTreeOidorPid = oid() | pid()

              Unregister a sub-agent. If the second argument is a pid, then that  sub-agent  will
              be unregistered from all trees in Agent.

       send_notification2(Agent, Notification, SendOpts) -> void()

              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() - The information is delivered via a function call
                  according to this data. See the DATA TYPES section above for details.

                * {tag(),  tag_receiver()}  - The information is delivered either via messages or
                  via a function call according to the value of tag_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
                    Addresses and if there are no targets for which an  Inform-Request  is  sent,
                    Addresses is the empty list [].

                    The  tag_receiver() will first be sent the snmp_targets message, and then for
                    each address in Addresses list, one of the two snmp_notification messages.

                  * {Mod, Func, Args} - The info will be delivered via the function call:

                    Mod:Func([Msg | Args])

                    where Msg has the same content and purpose as the messages descrived above.

          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 therefor reserved.

              See the net-if incomming messages for sending a  trap and   notification  for  more
              info.

              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() - The information is delivered via a function call
                  according to this data. See the DATA TYPES section above for details.

                * {Tag,  Recv}  -  The  information  is  delivered  either  via messages or via a
                  function call according to the value of Recv.

              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
                  Addresses and if there are no targets for  which  an  Inform-Request  is  sent,
                  Addresses is the empty list [].

                  The  receiver  will  first  be sent the snmp_targets message, and then for each
                  address in Addresses list, one of the two snmp_notification messages.

                * {Mod, Func, Args} - The info will be delivered via the function call:

                  Mod:Func([Msg | Args])

                  where Msg has 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()

                                   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() 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() 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}, where Variable is the symbolic name  of  a  scalar  variable
                  referred to in the notification specification.

                * {Column,  RowIndex,  Value},  where  Column  is  the  symbolic name of a column
                  variable. RowIndex is a list of indices for the specified element. If  this  is
                  the  case,  the  OBJECT  IDENTIFIER  sent  in  the notification is the RowIndex
                  appended to the OBJECT IDENTIFIER for the table  column.  This  is  the  OBJECT
                  IDENTIFIER which specifies the element.

                * {OID,  Value}, where OID is 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 .hrl file 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.

       discovery(TargetName, Notification) -> {ok, ManagerEngineID} | {error, Reason}
       discovery(TargetName, Notification, Varbinds) -> {ok, ManagerEngineID} | {error, Reason}
       discovery(TargetName, Notification,  DiscoHandler)  ->  {ok,  ManagerEngineID}  |  {error,
       Reason}
       discovery(TargetName,  Notification,  ContextName,  Varbinds)  ->  {ok, ManagerEngineID} |
       {error, Reason}
       discovery(TargetName, Notification, Varbinds, DiscoHandler)  ->  {ok,  ManagerEngineID}  |
       {error, Reason}
       discovery(TargetName,   Notification,   ContextName,   Varbinds,   DiscoHandler)  ->  {ok,
       ManagerEngineID} | {error, Reason}
       discovery(TargetName, Notification, ContextName,  Varbinds,  DiscoHandler,  ExtraInfo)  ->
       {ok, ManagerEngineID} | {error, Reason}

              Types:

                 TargetName = string()
                 Notification = atom()
                 ContextName = string() (defaults to "")
                 Varbinds = varbinds()
                 varbinds() = [varbind()]
                 DiscoHandler = snmpa_discovery_handler()
                 ExtraInfo = term()
                 snmpa_discovery_handler()  =  Module  implementing  the  snmpa_discovery_handler
                 behaviour
                 ManagerEngineID = string()
                 varbind() = {Variable, Value} | {Column, RowIndex, Value} | {OID, Value}
                 Variable = atom()
                 Column = atom()
                 OID = oid()
                 Value = term()
                 RowIndex = [int()]
                 Reason = term()

              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.

       convert_config(OldConfig) -> AgentConfig

              Types:

                 OldConfig = list()
                 AgentConfig = 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).

              For information about the old config (OldConfig) see the OTP R9C documentation.

              For  information  about the current agent config (AgentConfig), see either the SNMP
              application part of the reference manual or the Configuring the application chapter
              of the SNMP user's guide.

       restart_worker() -> void()
       restart_worker(Agent) -> void()

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()

              Restart the worker process of a multi-threaded agent.

              This  is a utility function, that can be useful when e.g. debugging instrumentation
              functions.

       restart_set_worker() -> void()
       restart_set_worker(Agent) -> void()

              Types:

                 Agent = pid() | atom()

              Restart the set worker process of a multi-threaded agent.

              This is a utility function, that can be useful when e.g. debugging  instrumentation
              functions.

       print_mib_info() -> void()

              Prints  the  content of all the (snmp) tables and variables for all mibs handled by
              the snmp agent.

       print_mib_tables() -> void()

              Prints the content of all the (snmp) tables for all mibs handled by the snmp agent.

       print_mib_variables() -> void()

              Prints the content of all the (snmp) variables for all mibs  handled  by  the  snmp
              agent.

       verbosity(Ref,Verbosity) -> void()

              Types:

                 Ref = pid() | sub_agents | master_agent | net_if | mib_server | symbolic_store |
                 note_store | local_db
                 Verbosity = verbosity() | {subagents, verbosity()}
                 verbosity() = silence | info | log | debug | trace

              Sets verbosity for the  designated  process.  For  the  lowest  verbosity  silence,
              nothing is printed. The higher the verbosity, the more is printed.
