<p>Configuration data may be included in configuration files
that is located in the configuration directory. The name of this
directory is given in the <c>config_dir</c> configuration
parameter. These files are read at start-up.
</p>
<p>The directory where the configuration files are found is given as
a parameter to the manager.
</p>
<p>The entry format in all files are Erlang terms, separated by a
'<em>.</em>' and a <em>newline</em>. In the following sections, the
formats of these terms are described. Comments may be specified as
ordinary Erlang comments.
</p>
<p>If syntax errors are discovered in these files they are reported with the
function <c>config_err/2</c> of the
<seealso marker="snmpa_error_report">error report module</seealso>
at start-up.

<title>Manager Information</title>
<p>The manager information should be stored in a file called
<c>manager.conf</c>.
</p>
<p>Each entry is a tuple of size two:
</p>
<p><c>{Variable, Value}.</c></p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p><c>Variable</c> is one of the following:</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p><c>address</c> - which defines the IP address of the
manager. Default is local host.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>port</c> - which defines which UDP port the manager uses
for communicating with agents. <em>Mandatory</em>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>engine_id</c> - The <c>SnmpEngineID</c> as defined in
SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB. <em>Mandatory</em>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>max_message_size</c> - The <c>snmpEngineMaxMessageSize</c> as
defined in SNMP-FRAMEWORK-MIB. <em>Mandatory</em>.</p>
</item>
</list>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Value</c> is the value for the variable.
</p>
</item>
</list>
<p>The following example shows a <c>manager.conf</c> file:
</p>
<pre>
{address, [141,213,11,24]}.
{port, 5000}.
{engine_id, "mgrEngine"}.
{max_message_size, 484}.
</pre>
<p>The value of <c>engine_id</c> is a string, which should have a
very specific structure. See RFC 2271/2571 for details.
</p>
</section>
<section>
<marker id="users"></marker>
<title>Users</title>
<p>For each <em>manager user</em>, the manager needs some information.
This information is either added in the <c>users.conf</c> config
file or by calling the
<seealso marker="snmpm#register_user">register_user</seealso>
function in run-time.
</p>
<p>Each row defines a <em>manager user</em> of the manager.
</p>
<p>Each entry is a tuple of size four:
</p>
<!-- <p><c>{UserId, UserMod, UserData}.</c></p> -->
<p><c>{UserId, UserMod, UserData, DefaultAgentConfig}.</c></p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p><c>UserId</c> is any term (used to uniquely identify the user).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>UserMod</c> is the user callback module (atom).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>UserData</c> is any term (passed on to the user when calling the
<c>UserMod</c>.
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>DefaultAgentConfig</c> is a list of default agent config's.
These values are used as default values when this user registers
agents.
</p>
</item>
</list>
</section>
<section>
<marker id="agents"></marker>
<title>Agents</title>
<p>The information needed to handle agents should be stored in a
file called <c>agents.conf</c>. It is also possible to add agents
in run-time by calling the
<seealso marker="snmpm#register_agent">register_agent</seealso>.
</p>
<p>Each entry is a tuple:
</p>
<p><c>{UserId, TargetName, Comm, Ip, Port, EngineID, Timeout, MaxMessageSize, Version, SecModel, SecName, SecLevel}.</c></p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p><c>UserId</c> is the identity of the <em>manager user</em>
responsible for this agent (term).
</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>TargetName</c> is a <em>unique</em> <em>non-empty</em> string.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Comm</c> is the community string (string).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Ip</c> is the ip address of the agent (a list of four integers).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Port</c> is the port number of the agent (integer).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>EngineID</c> is the engine-id of the agent (string).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Timeout</c> is re-transmission timeout
(<c>infinity</c> | integer).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>MaxMessageSize</c> is the max message size for outgoing messages
to this agent (integer).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>Version</c> is the version (v1 | v2 | v3).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>SecModel</c> is the security model (any | v1 | v2c | usm).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>SecName</c> is the security name (string).</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>SecLevel</c> is security level (noAuthNoPriv | authNoPriv |
authPriv).</p>
</item>
</list>
</section>
<section>
<marker id="usm"></marker>
<marker id="usm_user"></marker>
<title>Security data for USM</title>
<p>The information about Security data for USM should be stored in a
file called <c>usm.conf</c>, which must be present if the manager
wishes to use SNMPv3 when communicating with agents. It is also
possible to add usm data in run-time by calling the
<seealso marker="snmpm#register_usm_user">register_usm_user</seealso>.
</p>
<p>The corresponding table is <c>usmUserTable</c> in the
SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB.
</p>
<p>Each entry is a term:
</p>
<p><c>{EngineID, UserName, AuthP, AuthKey, PrivP, PrivKey}.</c> <br></br>
<c>{EngineID, UserName, SecName, AuthP, AuthKey, PrivP, PrivKey}.</c></p>
<p>The first case is when we have the identity-function
(<c>SecName</c> = <c>UserName</c>).
</p>
<list type="bulleted">
<item>
<p><c>EngineID</c> is a string.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>UserName</c> is a string.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>SecName</c> is a string.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>AuthP</c> is a <c>usmNoAuthProtocol</c>,
<c>usmHMACMD5AuthProtocol</c> or <c>usmHMACSHAAuthProtocol</c>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>AuthKey</c> is a list (of integer). This is the User's
secret localized authentication key. It is not visible in the MIB.
The length of this key needs to be 16 if
<c>usmHMACMD5AuthProtocol</c> is used and 20 if
<c>usmHMACSHAAuthProtocol</c> is used.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>PrivP</c> is a <c>usmNoPrivProtocol</c>,
<c>usmDESPrivProtocol</c> or <c>usmAesCfb128Protocol</c>.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><c>PrivKey</c> is a list (of integer). This is the User's secret
localized encryption key. It is not visible in the MIB. The length
of this key needs to be 16 if <c>usmDESPrivProtocol</c>
or <c>usmAesCfb128Protocol</c> is used.</p>
