# snmp\_standard\_mib(3erl)

Instrumentation Functions for STANDARD-MIB and SNMPv2-MIB

## NAME

snmp\_standard\_mib - Instrumentation Functions for STANDARD-MIB and SNMPv2-MIB

## DESCRIPTION

The module *snmp\_standard\_mib* implements the instrumentation functions for the STANDARD-MIB and SNMPv2-MIB, and functions for configuring the database.

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

## EXPORTS

**configure(ConfDir) -\> void()**\

Types:

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 file read is: *standard.conf*.

**inc(Name) -\> void()**\
 **inc(Name, N) -\> void()**\

Types:

Name = atom()\
 N = integer()\

Increments a variable in the MIB with *N*, or one if *N* is not specified.

**reconfigure(ConfDir) -\> void()**\

Types:

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-STANDARD-MIB and SNMPv2-MIB, after this function has been called, is 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 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 file read is: *standard.conf*.

**reset() -\> void()**\

Resets all *snmp* counters to 0.

**sys\_up\_time() -\> Time**\

Types:

Time = int()\

Gets the system up time in hundredth of a second.
