                            Reason :: term().

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.

# backup(BackupDir)

    -spec backup(BackupDir) -> ok | {error, Reason} when BackupDir :: snmp:dir(), Reason :: term().

Backup persistent data handled by the manager.

BackupDir cannot be identical to DbDir.

# cancel_async_request(UserId, ReqId)

    -spec cancel_async_request(UserId, ReqId) -> ok | {error, Reason}
                                  when UserId :: user_id(), ReqId :: request_id(), Reason :: term().

Cancel a previous asynchronous request.

# cancel_notify_started(Pid)

    -spec cancel_notify_started(Pid) -> snmp:void() when Pid :: pid().

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

# change_log_size(NewSize)

    -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.

# demonitor(Ref)

    -spec demonitor(Ref) -> true when Ref :: reference().

Turn off monitoring of the SNMP manager.

# format_reason(Reason)

    -spec format_reason(Reason) -> FReason when Reason :: term(), FReason :: string().

Equivalent to `format_reason/2`.

# format_reason(Prefix, Reason)

    -spec format_reason(Prefix, Reason) -> FReason
                           when
                               Prefix :: non_neg_integer() | string(), Reason :: term(), FReason :: 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 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).

# info()

    -spec info() -> [{Key, Value}] when Key :: atom(), Value :: term().

Returns a list (a dictionary) containing information about the manager. Information includes statistics counters, miscellaneous info about each process (e.g. memory allocation), and so on.

# load_mib(MibName)

    -spec load_mib(MibName) -> ok | {error, Reason} when MibName :: snmp:mib_name(), Reason :: term().

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,

              Dir = code:priv_dir(my_app) ++ "/mibs/",
              snmpm:load_mib(Dir ++ "MY-MIB").

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).

                     Stop :: null | snmp:log_time()) ->
                        snmp:void().

Equivalent to `log_to_txt/8`.

# log_to_txt(LogDir, Mibs, OutFile, LogName, LogFile, Block, Start, Stop)

(since OTP R16B03)

    -spec log_to_txt(LogDir :: snmp:dir(),
                     Mibs :: [snmp:mib_name()],
                     OutFile :: file:filename(),
                     LogName :: string(),
                     LogFile :: string(),

                     Start :: snmp:log_time(),
                     Stop :: snmp:log_time()) ->
                        snmp:void().

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).

See `snmp:log_to_txt/8` for more info.

# monitor()

    -spec monitor() -> MRef when MRef :: 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).

# name_to_oid(AliasName)

    -spec name_to_oid(AliasName) -> {ok, OIDs} | {error, Reason}
                         when AliasName :: atom(), OIDs :: [snmp:oid()], Reason :: term().

Transform a alias-name to its oid.

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

# notify_started(Timeout)

    -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.

# oid_to_name(OID)

    -spec oid_to_name(OID) -> {ok, AliasName} | {error, Reason}
                         when OID :: snmp:oid(), AliasName :: atom(), Reason :: term().

Transform a oid to its aliasname.

# oid_to_type(OID)

    -spec oid_to_type(OID) -> {ok, Type} | {error, Reason}
                         when OID :: snmp:oid(), Type :: atom(), Reason :: term().

Retrieve the type (asn1 bertype) of an oid.

# register_agent(UserId, TargetName, Config)

    -spec register_agent(UserId, TargetName, Config) -> ok | {error, Reason}
                            when
                                UserId :: user_id(),
                                TargetName :: target_name(),
                                Config :: [ConfigEntry],
                                ConfigEntry :: {Item, Value},
                                Item :: agent_config_item(),
                                Value :: 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. 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]  community = snmp:community()
    [optional]  timeout = register_timeout()
    [optional]  max_message_size = snmp:mms()
    [optional]  version = snmp:version()
    [optional]  sec_model = snmp:sec_model()
    [optional]  sec_name = snmp:sec_name()
    [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.

# register_user(UserId, Module, Data)

    -spec register_user(UserId, Module, Data) -> ok | {error, Reason}

                               Reason :: term().

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, incoming reply or incoming trap/notification).

`Data` is an opaque data structure, not inspected by the manager, that will be included in all callback calls to the `Module` callback module (`snmpm_user` behaviour).

The argument `DefaultAgentConfig` is used as default values when this user register agents.

Note that this operation (register user) could have already been done as a consequence of the node config. (see users.conf).

                                       Reason :: term().

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 requests will be canceled.

`Module` is the callback module (`snmpm_user` behaviour) which will be called whenever something happens (detected agent, incoming reply or incoming trap/notification).

`Data` is an opaque data structure, not inspected by the manager, that will be included in all callback calls to the `Module` callback module (`snmpm_user` behaviour).

The argument `DefaultAgentConfig` is used as default values when this user register agents.

# register_usm_user(EngineID, UserName, Config)

                                   Reason :: term().

Explicitly instruct the manager to handle this USM user. Note that there is an alternate way to do the same thing: Add the usm user to the manager config files (see usm.conf).

# restart(What)

(since OTP 22.3)

    -spec restart(What) -> snmp:void() when What :: net_if.

Restart the indicated process (`What`). Note that its not without risk to restart a process, and should therefore be used with care.

# set_log_type(NewType)

    -spec set_log_type(NewType) -> {ok, OldType} | {error, Reason}
                          when NewType :: snmp:atl_type(), OldType :: snmp:atl_type(), Reason :: term().

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.

                           SnmpInfo :: term().

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.

                                SnmpInfo :: term().

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`.
