Asynchronous `get-request`.

The reply, if it arrives, will be delivered to the user through a call to the `snmpm_user` callback function `handle_pdu`.

The send option `timeout` specifies for how long the request is valid (after which the manager is free to delete it).

The send option `extra` specifies an opaque data structure passed on to the net-if process. The net-if process included in this application makes, with one exception, no use of this info, so the only use for it (when using the built in net-if) would be tracing. The one usage exception is: Any tuple with `snmpm_extra_info_tag` as its first element is reserved for internal use.

Some of the send options (`community`, `sec_model`, `sec_name`, `sec_level` and `max_message_size`) are `override options`. That is, for this request, they override any configuration done when the agent was registered.

Asynchronous `set-request`.

The reply will be delivered to the user through a call to the `snmpm_user` callback function `handle_pdu`.

The send option `timeout` specifies for how long the request is valid (after which the manager is free to delete it).

When var_and_val() is {oid(), value()}, the manager makes an educated guess based on the loaded mibs.

The send option `extra` specifies an opaque data structure passed on to the net-if process. The net-if process included in this application makes, with one exception, no use of this info, so the only use for it (when using the built in net-if) would be tracing. The one usage exception is: Any tuple with `snmpm_extra_info_tag` as its first element is reserved for internal use.

Some of the send options (`community`, `sec_model`, `sec_name`, `sec_level` and `max_message_size`) are `override options`. That is, for this request, they override any configuration done when the agent was registered.

# change_log_size(NewSize)

View Source

    -spec change_log_size(NewSize) -> ok | {error, Reason} when NewSize :: snmp:log_size(), 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(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.

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 returns `{error, Reason}`
- The `Reason` parameter in the handle_error user callback function.

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

Converts an Audit Trail Log to a readable format and prints it on stdio. `LogName` defaults to "snmpm_log". `LogFile` defaults to "snmpm.log".

The `Block` argument indicates if the log should be blocked during conversion. This could be useful when converting large logs (when otherwise the log could wrap during conversion). Defaults to `true`.

`Start` and `Stop` indicates which log entries should be converted, from when (`Start`) to when (`Stop`). `Start = null` => Start from the beginning of the log. `Stop = null` => Stop the conversion at the end of the log. Defaults to `Start = null` and `Stop = null` (the entire log).

Converts an Audit Trail Log to a readable text file. `OutFile` defaults to "./snmpm_log.txt". `LogName` defaults to "snmpm_log". `LogFile` defaults to "snmpm.log".

The `Block` argument indicates if the log should be blocked during conversion. This could be useful when converting large logs (when otherwise the log could wrap during conversion). Defaults to `true`.

`Start` and `Stop` indicates which log entries should be converted, from when (`Start`) to when (`Stop`). `Start = null` => Start from the beginning of the log. `Stop = null` => Stop the conversion at the end of the log. Defaults to `Start = null` and `Stop = null` (the entire log).

# notify_started(Timeout)

View Source

    -spec notify_started(Timeout) -> Pid when Timeout :: pos_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 situations 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 therefore 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 returns 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 conjunction with the monitor function.

                                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. This function is used when the user knows 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).

`TargetName` is a non-empty string, uniquely identifying the agent.

The type of `Val` depends on `Item`:

    [mandatory] engine_id = engine_id()
    [mandatory] address = inet:ip_address()  % Depends on tdomain
    [optional]  port = inet:port_number()
    [optional]  tdomain = snmp:tdomain()

    [optional]  sec_level = snmp:sec_level()

Note that if no `tdomain` is given, the default value, `transportDomainUdpIpv4`, is used.

Note that if no `port` is given and if `taddress` does not contain a port number, the default value is used.

Synchronous `get-request`.

`Remaining` is the remaining time of the given (or default) timeout time.

When Reason is {send_failed, ...} it means that the `net-if` process failed to send the (`get-request` ) message. This could happen because of any number of reasons, i.e. encoding error. ActualReason is the actual reason in this case.

The send option `extra` specifies an opaque data structure passed on to the `net-if` process. The `net-if` process included in this application makes, with one exception, no use of this info, so the only use for it (when using the built in `net-if`) would be tracing. The one usage exception is: Any tuple with `snmpm_extra_info_tag` as its first element is reserved for internal use.

Some of the send options (`community`, `sec_model`, `sec_name`, `sec_level` and `max_message_size`) are `override options`. That is, for this request, they override any configuration done when the agent was registered.

For `SnmpInfo`, see the user callback function handle_report.

Synchronous `get-bulk-request` (See RFC1905).

`Remaining` is the remaining time of the given (or default) timeout time.

When Reason is {send_failed, ...} it means that the `net-if` process failed to send the message. This could happen because of any number of reasons, i.e. encoding error. ActualReason is the actual reason in this case.

The send option `extra` specifies an opaque data structure passed on to the `net-if` process. The `net-if` process included in this application makes, with one exception, no use of this info, so the only use for it (when using the built in `net-if`) would be tracing. The one usage exception is: Any tuple with `snmpm_extra_info_tag` as its first element is reserved for internal use.

Some of the send options (`community`, `sec_model`, `sec_name`, `sec_level` and `max_message_size`) are `override options`. That is, for this request, they override any configuration done when the agent was registered.

For `SnmpInfo`, see the user callback function `snmpm_user:handle_report/3`.
