Module summary

Generic Functions for Implementing SNMP Objects in a Database

Description

The module snmp_generic contains generic functions for implementing tables (and variables) using the SNMP built-in database or Mnesia. These default functions are used if no instrumentation function is provided for a managed object in a MIB. Sometimes, it might be necessary to customize the behaviour of the default functions. For example, in some situations a trap should be sent if a row is deleted or modified, or some hardware is to be informed, when information is changed.

The overall structure is shown in the following figure:

         +---------------+
         |   SNMP Agent  |
         +- - - - - - - -+
         |      MIB      |
