snmpa_error_report(3)

💖 NAME 💖

snmpa_error_report — bestie, it's the behaviour module for reporting SNMP agent errors 🚨

Like, the manual name is snmpa_error_report(3) and it lives under the Erlang Module Definition section, just so you know where you are 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the vibe: this module defines the behaviour of the agent error reporting. That means if you want your module to be a snmpa_error_report-compliant girlypop, it must export these two functions:

• config_err/2
• user_err/2

That's it, that's the whole personality test 🎀 No cap — if you don't export both, you're not compliant, periodt.

The semantics of them and their exact signatures? All explained below, bestie, keep reading 🫶

🌸 CALLBACKS 🌸

🧚 config_err(Format, Args)

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). So it's giving very much "standard Erlang format string plus args" energy, iykyk.

💜 user_err(Format, Args)

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). Same deal as above, iconic and consistent ✨

---

🫶 Friendly reminder: both of these callbacks take exactly the args shown — Format and Args, no more, no less. Don't freestyle the signature, bestie.

And that's the whole page, no notes 💅 This one's from Ericsson AB, and it's part of snmp version 5.20.5 — slay, go forth and report your errors responsibly 👑🌈
