snmpa_error_logger(3)

💖 snmpa_error_logger(3) — Erlang Module Definition 💖

okay bestie, welcome to snmpa_error_logger, the little module that catches your SNMP oopsies and drops them straight into the error_logger 🫶 (this is the page for the Erlang module definition, iykyk).

---

✨ NAME ✨

snmpa_error_logger — functions for reporting SNMP errors through the error_logger 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. The module snmpa_error_logger implements the snmpa_error_report behaviour — go peek at snmpa_error_report if you want the receipts. It contains two callback functions that get called when it's time to report SNMP errors. Two. That's the whole vibe. 💅

This module is the simple mechanism for reporting SNMP errors, no cap. Errors get sent to the error_logger, but after a size check — because we are not letting a novel through. Messages are truncated after 1024 chars, periodt. And ngl, it's provided as an example 👑

It's also the default error report module, bestie. But you can absolutely configure it explicitly if you want — see snmpa_error and the configuration parameters for the deets. 🌈

🎀 FUNCTIONS 🎀

config_err(Format, Args) -> snmp:void()

config_err(Format, Args) -> snmp:void()
    when Format :: string(), Args :: list().

This one gets called when an error happens during the configuration phase — like, say, a syntax error just chilling in a configuration file 😭.

Format and Args work exactly as in io:format(Format, Args). Iconic, consistent, we love that for us ✨

---

user_err(Format, Args) -> snmp:void()

user_err(Format, Args) -> snmp:void()
    when Format :: string(), Args :: list().

This baby gets called when a user related error happens at run-time — for example, if a user defined instrumentation function returns something erroneous 🙈.

Format and Args are, once again, as in io:format(Format, Args). Same energy, different moment 🍓

---

lowkey everything here is just "error happens ➡️ error_logger hears about it" and honestly? main character energy ✨
