View Source snmpa_mib_data behaviour (snmp v5.18)

Behaviour module for the SNMP agent mib-server data module.

This module defines the behaviour of the SNMP agent mib-server data module. A snmpa_mib_data compliant module must export the following functions:

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.

Callbacks: CALLBACK FUNCTIONS

backup(State, BackupDir)

Perform a backup of the mib-server data.

close(State)

Close the mib-storage.

code_change(Direction, Vsn, Extra, State)

Perform a code-change (upgrade or downgrade).

dump(State, Destination)

Dump the mib-server data to stdio (Destination = io) or the specified file.

info(State)

Retrieve misc info for the mib data.

load_mib(State, FileName, MeOverride, TeOverride)

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.

lookup(State, Oid)

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

new(MibStorage)

Create a new mib-server data instance.

next(State, Oid, MibView)

Finds the lexicographically next oid.

register_subagent(State, Oid, Pid)

Register the subagent, process, handling part of the mib-tree.

sync(State)

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).

unload_mib(State, FileName, MeOverride, TeOverride)

Unload the mib specified by the Filename argument from the mib-server. The MeOverride and TeOverride arguments specifies how the mib-server shall handle duplicate mib- and trap- entries.

unregister_subagent(State, PidOrOid)

Unregister the subagent, handling part of the mib-tree, as specified by the oid() or pid/0 (PidOrOid).

whereis_mib(State, MibName)

Retrieve the mib file for the mib.

which_mib(State, Oid)

Retrieve the mib-file to which an given oid() belongs.

which_mibs(State)

Retrieve all loaded mib-files.
