NAME¶
snmpa_mib_data - Behaviour module for the SNMP agent mib-server data module.DESCRIPTION¶
This module defines the behaviour of the SNMP agent mib-server data module. A snmpa_mib_data compliant module must export the following functions:- *
- new/1
- *
- close/1
- *
- sync/1
- *
- load_mib/4
- *
- unload_mib/4
- *
- lookup/2
- *
- next/3
- *
- register_subagent/3
- *
- unregister_subagent/2
- *
- which_mib/2
- *
- which_mibs/1
- *
- whereis_mib/2
- *
- dump/2
- *
- info/1
- *
- backup/2
- *
- code_change/4
The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained below.
Note that the data extracted from the imported (loaded) mibs are stored partly by the mib-server and partly by the symbolic-store server. See the default mib-server data module, snmpa_mib_data_tttn for details.
CALLBACK FUNCTIONS¶
The following functions must be exported from a mib-server data callback module:EXPORTS¶
Module:new(Storage) -> StateTypes:
State = term()
Create a new mib-server data instance.
Module:close(State) -> void()
Types:
Close the mib-storage.
Module:sync(State) -> void()
Types:
Synchronize (write to disc, if possible) the mib-server data. This depends on the mib_storage option, and will only have an effect if the mib-storage option has an actual disc component (such as dets, or ets with a file).
Module:load_mib(State, Filename, MeOverride, TeOverride) ->
{ok, NewState} | {error, Reason}
Types:
Filename = filename()
MeOverride = boolean()
TeOverride = boolean()
Reason = already_loaded | term()
Load the mib specified by the Filename argument into the mib-server. The MeOverride and TeOverride arguments specifies how the mib-server shall handle duplicate mib- and trap- entries.
Module:unload_mib(State, Filename) -> {ok, NewState} |
{error, Reason}
Types:
Filename = filename()
Reason = not_loaded | term()
Unload the mib specified by the Filename argument from the mib-server.
Module:lookup(State, Oid) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = {variable, ME} | {table_column, ME, TEOid} | {subagent, SAPid, SAOid} | {false, Reason}
Oid = TEOid = SAOid = oid()
SAPid = pid()
ME = me()
Reason = term()
Find the mib-entry corresponding to the Oid. If it is a variable, the Oid must be <Oid for var>.0 and if it is a table, Oid must be <table>.<entry>.<col>.<any>.
Module:next(State, Oid, MibView) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = false | endOfTable | {subagent, SAPid, SAOid} | {variable, ME, VarOid} | {table, TableOid, TableRestOid, ME}
Oid = SAOid = VarOid = TableOid = TableRestOid = oid()
SAPid = pid()
ME = me()
Finds the lexicographically next oid.
Module:register_subagent(State, Oid, Pid) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = {ok, NewState} | {error, Reason}
Oid = oid()
Pid = pid()
Reason = term()
Register the subagent, process, handling part of the mib-tree.
Module:unregister_subagent(State, PidOrOid) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = {ok, NewState} | {ok, NewState, Pid} | {error, Reason}
PidOrOid = pid() | oid()
Pid = pid()
Reason = term()
Unregister the subagent, handling part of the mib-tree, as specified by the oid() or pid() (PidOrOid).
When unregister the subagent using an oid(), the pid() of the process handling the sub-tree is also returned.
Module:dump(State, Destination) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = ok | {error, Reason}
Destination = io | filename()
Pid = pid()
Reason = term()
Dump the mib-server data to stdio (Destination = io) or the specified file.
Module:which_mib(State, Oid) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = {ok, MibFile} | {error, Reason}
Oid = oid()
MibFile = string()
Reason = term()
Retrieve the mib-file to which an given oid() belongs.
Module:which_mibs(State) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = [{MibName, Filename}]
MibName = atom()
Filename = string()
Retrieve all loaded mib-files.
Module:whereis_mib(State, MibName) -> Reply
Types:
MibName = atom()
Reply = {ok, Filename} | {error, Reason}
Filename = string()
Reason = term()
Retrieve the mib file for the mib.
Module:info(State) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = {ok, Filename} | {error, Reason}
Filename = string()
Reason = term()
Retrieve misc info for the mib data.
This is a utility function used to inspect, for instance, memory usage, in a simple way.
Module:backup(State, BackupDir) -> Reply
Types:
Reply = ok | {error, Reason}
BackupDir = string()
Reason = term()
Perform a backup of the mib-server data.
Note that its implementation dependant (and also dependent on mib-storage is used) if a backup is possible.
Module:code_change(Destination, Vsn, Extra, State) ->
NewState
Types:
Vsn = term()
Extra = term()
State = NewState = term()
Perform a code-change (upgrade or downgrade).
See gen_server for more info regarding the Vsn and Extra arguments.
