NAME
snmpm_user - Behaviour module for the SNMP manager user.
DESCRIPTION
This module defines the behaviour of the manager user. A snmpm_user compliant module must export the
following functions:
* handle_error/3
* handle_agent/4
* handle_pdu/4
* handle_trap/3
* handle_inform/3
* handle_report/3
* handle_invalid_result/2
The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained below.
Some of the function has no defined return value (void()), they can of course return anything. But the
functions that do have specified return value(s) must adhere to this. None of the functions can use exit
of throw to return.
If the manager is not configured to use any particular transport domain, the behaviour handle_agent/4
will for backwards copmpatibility reasons be called with the old IpAddr and PortNumber arguments
DATA TYPES
snmp_gen_info() = {ErrorStatus :: atom(),
ErrorIndex :: pos_integer(),
Varbinds :: [snmp:varbind()]}
snmp_v1_trap_info() :: {Enteprise :: snmp:oid(),
Generic :: integer(),
Spec :: integer(),
Timestamp :: integer(),
Varbinds :: [snmp:varbind()]}
EXPORTS
handle_error(ReqId, Reason, UserData) -> void()
Types:
ReqId = netif | integer()
Reason = {unexpected_pdu, SnmpInfo} | {invalid_sec_info, SecInfo, SnmpInfo} | {empty_message,
Addr, Port} | term()
SnmpInfo = snmp_gen_info()
SecInfo = term()
Addr = ip_address()
Port = integer()
UserData = term()
This function is called when the manager needs to communicate an "asynchronous" error to the user:
e.g. failure to send an asynchronous message (i.e. encoding error), a received message was
discarded due to security error, the manager failed to generate a response message to a received
inform-request, or when receiving an unexpected PDU from an agent (could be an expired async
request).
If ReqId is less then 0, it means that this information was not available to the manager (that
info was never retrieved before the message was discarded).
For SnmpInfo see handle_agent below.
Note that there is a special case when the value of ReqId has the value of the atom netif. This
means that the NetIF process has suffered a "fatal" error and been restarted. With possible loss
of traffic!
handle_agent(Domain, Addr, Type, SnmpInfo, UserData) -> Reply
Types:
Domain = transportDomainUdpIpv4 | transportDomainUdpIpv6
Addr = {inet:ip_address(), inet:port_number()}
Type = pdu | trap | report | inform
SnmpInfo = SnmpPduInfo | SnmpTrapInfo | SnmpReportInfo | SnmpInformInfo
SnmpPduInfo = snmp_gen_info()
SnmpTrapInfo = snmp_v1_trap_info()
SnmpReportInfo = snmp_gen_info()
SnmpInformInfo = snmp_gen_info()
UserData = term()
Reply = ignore | {register, UserId, TargetName, AgentConfig}
UserId = term()
TargetName = target_name()
AgentConfig = [agent_config()]
This function is called when a message is received from an unknown agent.
Note that this will always be the default user that is called.
For more info about the agent_config(), see register_agent.
The arguments Type and SnmpInfo relates in the following way:
* pdu - SnmpPduInfo (see handle_pdu for more info).
* trap - SnmpTrapInfo (see handle_trap for more info).
* report - SnmpReportInfo (see handle_report for more info).
* inform - SnmpInformInfo (see handle_inform for more info).
The only user which would return {register, UserId, TargetName, AgentConfig} is the default user.
handle_pdu(TargetName, ReqId, SnmpPduInfo, UserData) -> void()
Types:
TargetName = target_name()
ReqId = term()
SnmpPduInfo = snmp_gen_info()
UserData = term()
Handle the reply to an asynchronous request, such as async_get, async_get_next or async_set.
It could also be a late reply to a synchronous request.
ReqId is returned by the asynchronous request function.
handle_trap(TargetName, SnmpTrapInfo, UserData) -> Reply
Types:
TargetName = TargetName2 = target_name()
SnmpTrapInfo = snmp_v1_trap_info() | snmp_gen_info()
UserData = term()
Reply = ignore | unregister | {register, UserId, TargetName2, AgentConfig}
UserId = term()
AgentConfig = [agent_config()]
Handle a trap/notification message from an agent.
For more info about the agent_config(), see register_agent
The only user which would return {register, UserId, TargetName2, agent_info()} is the default
user.
handle_inform(TargetName, SnmpInformInfo, UserData) -> Reply
Types:
TargetName = TargetName2 = target_name()
SnmpInformInfo = snmp_gen_info()
UserData = term()
Reply = ignore | no_reply | unregister | {register, UserId, TargetName2, AgentConfig}
UserId = term()
AgentConfig = [agent_config()]
Handle a inform message.
For more info about the agent_config(), see register_agent
The only user which would return {register, UserId, TargetName2, AgentConfig} is the default user.
If the inform request behaviour configuration option is set to user or {user, integer()}, the
response (acknowledgment) to this inform-request will be sent when this function returns.
handle_report(TargetName, SnmpReportInfo, UserData) -> Reply
Types:
TargetName = TargetName2 = target_name()
Addr = ip_address()
Port = integer()
SnmpReportInfo = snmp_gen_info()
UserData = term()
Reply = ignore | unregister | {register, UserId, TargetName2, AgentConfig}
UserId = term()
AgentConfig = [agent_config()]
Handle a report message.
For more info about the agent_config(), see register_agent
The only user which would return {register, UserId, TargetName2, AgentConfig} is the default user.
handle_invalid_result(IN, OUT) -> void()
Types:
IN = {Func, Args}
Func = atom()
Args = list()
OUT = {crash, CrashInfo} | {result, InvalidResult}
CrashInfo = {ErrorType, Error, Stacktrace}
ErrorType = atom()
Error = term()
Stacktrace = list()
InvalidResult = term()
If any of the other callback functions crashes (exit, throw or a plain crash) or return an invalid
result (if a valid return has been specified), this function is called. The purpose is to allow
the user handle this error (for instance to issue an error report).
IN reprecents the function called (and its arguments). OUT represents the unexpected/invalid
result.
