[erlang-questions] SNMP Agent Trap receiver

[Decker, Nils]

Hello,

In the excellent snmp module there is a difference between the documentation and the code.

The documentation for send_notification states for the Receiver parameter and the snmp_targets message:
"If there are no targets for which an Inform-Request is sent, Addresses is the empty list []."

In R11B2 (debian stable) the snmp_targets message is not sent if there is no receiver.

The cause seem to be these two clauses in snmpa_trap.erl:
send_v2_trap(_TrapRec, [], _Vbs, _Recv, _NetIf, _SysUpTime) ->
    ok;
    
send_v3_trap(_TrapRec, [], _Vbs, _Recv, _NetIf, _SysUpTime, _ContextName) ->
    ok;

The Address for snmp_targets, got_response and no_response should be a tuple of {IP, UDPPort}.

I get for example this tuple: {[1,3,6,1,6,1,1],[192,168,61,10,19,236]}.

[1,3,6,1,6,1,1] is the Oid of snmpUDPDomain and [192,168,61,10,19,236] is the address in the SnmpUDPAddress textual convention.

Thanks
  Nils Decker
