Instrumentation Functions for SNMP-TARGET-MIB

The module `snmp_target_mib` implements the instrumentation functions for the SNMP-TARGET-MIB, and functions for configuring the database.

The configuration files are described in the SNMP User's Manual.

Legacy API functions `add_addr/10` that does not specify transport domain, and `add_addr/11` that has got separate `IpAddr` and `PortNumber` arguments still work as before for backwards compatibility reasons.

## DATA TYPES

See the data types in `snmpa_conf`.

# Summary

## Types

mms()

#### Note

"The maximum message size value associated with an entry in the snmpTargetAddrTable.".

name()

#### Note

"The locally arbitrary, but unique identifier associated with this snmpTargetAddrEntry."

params()

#### Note

"The value of this object identifies an entry in the snmpTargetParamsTable."

retry_count()

#### Note

"This object specifies a default number of retries to be attempted when a response is not received for a generated message."

tag_list()

#### Note

"An octet string containing a list of tag values. Tag values are preferably in human-readable form."

tag_value()

#### Note

"An octet string containing a tag value. Tag values are preferably in human-readable form."

tmask()

#### Note

"The mask value associated with an entry in the snmpTargetAddrTable. The value of this object must have the same length as the corresponding instance of snmpTargetAddrTAddress, or must have length 0."

## Functions

add_addr/10

Adds a target address definition to the agent config. Equivalent to one line in the `target_addr.conf` file.

add_params(Name, MPModel, SecModel, SecName, SecLevel)

Adds a target parameter definition to the agent config. Equivalent to one line in the `target_params.conf` file.

configure(ConfDir)

This function is called from the supervisor at system start-up.

delete_addr(Key)

Delete a target address definition from the agent config.

delete_params(Key)

Delete a target parameter definition from the agent config.

reconfigure(ConfDir)

Inserts all data in the configuration files into the database and destroys all old data, including the rows with StorageType `nonVolatile`. The rows created from the configuration file will have StorageType `nonVolatile`.

set_target_engine_id(TargetAddrName, EngineId)

Changes the engine id for a target in the `snmpTargetAddrTable`. If notifications are sent as Inform requests to a target, its engine id must be set.

                        when
                            Name :: name(),

                            Reason :: term().

Adds a target parameter definition to the agent config. Equivalent to one line in the `target_params.conf` file.

# configure(ConfDir)

    -spec configure(ConfDir) -> snmp:void() when ConfDir :: string().

This function is called from the supervisor at system start-up.

Inserts all data in the configuration files into the database and destroys all old rows with StorageType `volatile`. The rows created from the configuration file will have StorageType `nonVolatile`.

All `snmp` counters are set to zero.

If an error is found in the configuration file, it is reported using the function `config_err/2` of the error report module, and the function fails with the reason `configuration_error`.

`ConfDir` is a string which points to the directory where the configuration files are found.

The configuration files read are: `target_addr.conf` and `target_params.conf`.

# delete_addr(Key)

    -spec delete_addr(Key) -> ok | {error, Reason} when Key :: term(), Reason :: term().

Delete a target address definition from the agent config.

# delete_params(Key)

    -spec delete_params(Key) -> ok | {error, Reason} when Key :: term(), Reason :: term().

Delete a target parameter definition from the agent config.

# reconfigure(ConfDir)

    -spec reconfigure(ConfDir) -> snmp:void() when ConfDir :: string().

Inserts all data in the configuration files into the database and destroys all old data, including the rows with StorageType `nonVolatile`. The rows created from the configuration file will have StorageType `nonVolatile`.

Thus, the data in the SNMP-TARGET-MIB, after this function has been called, is the data from the configuration files.

All `snmp` counters are set to zero.

If an error is found in the configuration file, it is reported using the function `config_err/2` of the , and the function fails with the reason `configuration_error`.

`ConfDir` is a string which points to the directory where the configuration files are found.

The configuration files read are: `target_addr.conf` and `target_params.conf`.

# set_target_engine_id(TargetAddrName, EngineId)

    -spec set_target_engine_id(TargetAddrName, EngineId) -> boolean()
                                  when TargetAddrName :: name(), EngineId :: snmp_framework_mib:engine_id().

Changes the engine id for a target in the `snmpTargetAddrTable`. If notifications are sent as Inform requests to a target, its engine id must be set.
