snmpa_error_logger(3erl)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for snmpa_error_logger(3erl) — an Erlang Module Definition — and she's literally about functions for reporting SNMP errors through the error_logger. that's the name and the whole assignment, periodt. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the module snmpa_error_logger implements the snmpa_error_report behaviour (peep snmpa_error_report for that one) and it's got two callback functions that are called in order to report SNMP errors. two. iconic. 🫶

this module provides a simple mechanism for reporting SNMP errors: errors get sent to the error_logger after a size check, and messages are truncated after 1024 chars. not me being dramatic, that's the actual cutoff 😭.

vibe check: it's provided as an example — like a starter fit for error reporting. it's also the default error report module, but you can explicitly configure it (see snmpa_error and configuration parameters). no cap. ✨

👑 EXPORTS 👑

here's the callback roster, bestie — slay:

config_err(Format, Args) -> void()

Types:

• Format = string()
• Args = list()

this one gets called if an error pops off during the configuration phase — for example, if a syntax error is found in a configuration file. yep, config drama 💅.

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

user_err(Format, Args) -> void()

Types:

• Format = string()
• Args = list()

this one gets called if a user related error happens at run-time — for example, if a user defined instrumentation function returns erroneous. (yes, "erroneous" is the word, leave it 🌸.)

Format and Args are as in io:format(Format, Args). same energy, same args.
