Module
snmpa_mib_data
Module Summary
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) -> State
Types
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
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
Unload the mib specified by the Filename argument from the mib-server.
Module:lookup(State, Oid) -> Reply
Types
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
Finds the lexicographically next oid.
Module:register_subagent(State, Oid, Pid) -> Reply
Types
Register the subagent, process, handling part of the mib-tree.
Module:unregister_subagent(State, PidOrOid) -> Reply
Types
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
Dump the mib-server data to stdio (Destination = io) or the specified file.
Module:which_mib(State, Oid) -> Reply
Types
Retrieve the mib-file to which an given oid() belongs.
Module:which_mibs(State) -> Reply
Types
Retrieve all loaded mib-files.
Module:whereis_mib(State, MibName) -> Reply
Types
Retrieve the mib file for the mib.
Module:info(State) -> Reply
Types
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
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
Perform a code-change (upgrade or downgrade).
See gen_server for more info regarding the Vsn and Extra arguments.
