# snmpa\_error\_logger(3erl)

Functions for Reporting SNMP Errors through the error\_logger

## NAME

snmpa\_error\_logger - Functions for Reporting SNMP Errors through the error\_logger

## DESCRIPTION

The module *snmpa\_error\_logger* implements the *snmpa\_error\_report* behaviour (see snmpa\_error\_report) containing two callback functions which are called in order to report SNMP errors.

This module provides a simple mechanism for reporting SNMP errors. Errors are sent to the *error\_logger* after a size check. Messages are truncated after 1024 chars. It is provided as an example.

This module is the default error report module, but can be explicitly configured, see snmpa\_error and configuration parameters.

## EXPORTS

**config\_err(Format, Args) -\> void()**\

Types:

Format = string()\
 Args = list()\

The function is called if an error occurs during the configuration phase, for example if a syntax error is found in a configuration file.

*Format* and *Args* are as in *io:format(Format, Args)*.

**user\_err(Format, Args) -\> void()**\

Types:

Format = string()\
 Args = list()\

The function is called if a user related error occurs at run-time, for example if a user defined instrumentation function returns erroneous.

*Format* and *Args* are as in *io:format(Format, Args)*.
