# 1 SNMP Release Notes

###
1.1 SNMP 5.15

####
Improvements and New Features

- Make snmp handle gen_udp with socket backend on Windows (completion).

  Own Id: OTP-18598 Aux Id: OTP-18029

###
1.2 SNMP 5.14

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

  Own Id: OTP-18490 Aux Id: OTP-18471, GH-6339, PR-6843

###
1.3 SNMP 5.13.5

####
Improvements and New Features

- Attempts to minimize the number of the error reports during a failed agent init.

  Own Id: OTP-18422 Aux Id: ERIERL-873

###
1.4 SNMP 5.13.4

####
Improvements and New Features

- Replace size/1 with either tuple_size/1 or byte_size/1

  The size/1 BIF is not optimized by the JIT, and its use can result in worse types for Dialyzer.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a tuple, tuple_size/1 should always be preferred.

  When one knows that the value being tested must be a binary, byte_size/1 should be preferred. However, byte_size/1 also accepts a bitstring (rounding up size to a whole number of bytes), so one must make sure that the call to byte_size/ is preceded by a call to is_binary/1 to ensure that bitstrings are rejected. Note that the compiler removes redundant calls to is_binary/1, so if one is not sure whether previous code had made sure that the argument is a binary, it does not harm to add an is_binary/1 test immediately before the call to byte_size/1.

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- [manager] In a function handling snmp errors, an unused result (_Error) could result in matching issues and therefore case clause runtime errors (crash). Note that this would only happen in *very* unusual error cases.

  Own Id: OTP-17161

###
1.22 SNMP 5.7.2

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- [manager] Misspelled priv protocol (atom) made it impossible to update usm user 'priv_key' configuration for usmAesCfb128Protocol via function calls.

####
Improvements and New Features

- Make it possible for the agent to configure separate transports (sockets) for request-responder and trap-sender.

  Own Id: OTP-16649

- The mib server cache handling has been improved. First, the default gclimit has been changed from 100 to infinity (to ensure the size is as small as possible). Also, the method of removing old elements has been optimized.

  Own Id: OTP-16989 Aux Id: ERIERL-544

- It is now possible to configure the agent in such a way that the order of outgoing notifications are processed in order in the agent. What happens after the notification message has left the agent (been sent) is of course still out of our control.

  Own Id: OTP-17022 Aux Id: ERIERL-492

- Improve handling of the udp_error message. Basically an improved error/warning message.

  Own Id: OTP-17033

###

  Own Id: OTP-16760 Aux Id: ERIERL-511

###
1.26 SNMP 5.6

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- For manager, fix PrivParams for SNMPv3 USM with AES privacy; * In `snmp_usm:do_decrypt/3`, pass full UsmSecParams to `snmp_usm:try_decrypt/5` as expected by AES clause. * Change `snmpm_usm:aes_encrypt/3` to use EngineBoots and EngineTime as cached by `snmpm_config:get_usm_eboots/1` and `snmpm_config:get_usm_etime/1` instead of `snmpm_config:get_engine_boots/0` and `snmpm_config:get_engine_time/0`. This ensures correct msgPrivacyParameters are sent when AES is used. * Add test `snmp.snmp_manager_SUITE.usm_priv_aes/1` to avoid regression.

  Own Id: OTP-16541 Aux Id: #2544

- Invalid character in (manager) usm config entry generator function.

- Misc documentation corrections

  Own Id: OTP-16450

###
1.33 SNMP 5.4.5

####

  Own Id: OTP-16228 Aux Id: ERIERL-427

###
1.37 SNMP 5.4.2

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The agent discovery process has been made to work with snmptrapd..

  Own Id: OTP-16207 Aux Id: ERIERL-427

###
1.38 SNMP 5.4.1

####
Improvements and New Features

- Made it possible to add 'extra socket options' to the (gen_udp) socket open call (for both manager and agent). A new option has been added, extra_sock_opts, which makes it possible for the user to add a list of extra socket options that will be appended to the other socket options for the open call. See the snmp application config man page (erl -man 6 snmp) or the "Configuring the application" chapter of the Users Guide for more info.

  Own Id: OTP-16092 Aux Id: ERIERL-410

###
1.39 SNMP 5.4

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fix various minor issues related to Dialyzer. Mostly these are dialyzer warnings, but there was also some minor bugs detected by Dialyzer.

  Own Id: OTP-15932

####
Improvements and New Features

- Fixed a dets usage problem detected by dialyzer.

  Own Id: OTP-10400 Aux Id: kunagi-253 [164]

- The function snmp:print_version_info() prints various version info. For each module a number of items are printed, such as app vsn and md5 digest. And an attempt was also made to print "compile time". This used to be available in the module_info for each module, but has now been removed.

  Own Id: OTP-15330

- The use of the deprecated random module has been replaced the with rand module.

  Own Id: OTP-15331

- Removed use of the deprecated function erlang:get_stacktrace(). Instead make use of the 'catch Class:Error:Stacktrace' feature.

  Own Id: OTP-15332

###
1.40 SNMP 5.3

####
Improvements and New Features

- The application otp_mibs has been removed from OTP. Some of its components (mibs) have been moved to other apps (snmp), or removed completely (os_mon).

  Own Id: OTP-14984 Aux Id: OTP-15329

- [snmp|agent] Add a get-mechanism callback module (and a corresponding behaviour). The agent calls this module to handle each get (get, get-next and get-bulk) request.

  Own Id: OTP-15691 Aux Id: ERIERL-324

###
1.41 SNMP 5.2.12

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Conversion of (agent) Audit Trail Log (ATL) failed due to invalid log entries.

  The conversion aborted completely midway because the ATL contained invalid entries. The conversion has been improved so that it now firstly handles encountered errors and write an informative message (into the converted stream) and secondly keeps count of the number of successful or failed entry conversions. See log_to_txt for more info.

  The reason the ATL contained invalid entries have also been fixed. The reason was that for some outgoing messages (not response):

  - encrypted (v3 messages)

    Was logged "as is" (encrypted) without the info to decrypt, making conversion impossible (which was the reason the log contained bad entries).

  - un-encrypted

    Was not logged at all.

  Own Id: OTP-15287 Aux Id: ERIERL-206

- [compiler] Spurious version message removed. The snmp mib compiler printed an spurious version message if the 'version' option was provided.

  Own Id: OTP-15290

###
1.42 SNMP 5.2.11.2

####
Improvements and New Features

- [manager] The callbacks where executed in a (new) 'temporary' process, that executed the callback call and then exited. This has now been made configurable so that is also possible to specify a 'permanent' callback proxy process. All callback calls will then be executed in this (permanent) process (in sequence).

  Own Id: OTP-15947 Aux Id: ERIERL-378

###
1.43 SNMP 5.2.11.1

####
Improvements and New Features

- [snmp|agent] Add a get-mechanism callback module (and a corresponding behaviour). The agent calls this module to handle each get (get, get-next and get-bulk) request.

  Own Id: OTP-15691 Aux Id: ERIERL-324

###
1.44 SNMP 5.2.11

  Own Id: OTP-14400

###
1.50 SNMP 5.2.5

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- The SNMP MIB compiler has been fixed to compile MIBS with refinements on user types such as in RFC 4669 RADIUS-AUTH-SERVER-MIB.mib. Problem reported and researched by Kenneth Lakin and Daniel Goertzen.

  Own Id: OTP-12762

###
1.56 SNMP 5.1.2

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- A bug in the SNMP Agent has been corrected; when opening a port using the command line argument -snmpa_fd the Port should be 0 when calling gen_udp:open.

  A bug in the SNMP manager has been corrected; it should not look at the -snmp_fd command line argument, but instead at -snmpm_fd.

  Own Id: OTP-12669 Aux Id: seq12841

1.58 SNMP 5.1

####
Improvements and New Features

- The SNMP manager has been enhanced with dual stack IPv4+IPv6, as the agent just was. The documentation is also now updated for both the agent and the manager.

  Own Id: OTP-12108 Aux Id: OTP-12020

###
1.59 SNMP 5.0

####
Improvements and New Features

- SNMP has been improved to handle IPv6. The agent can handle dual stack IPv4 + IPv6, but not yet the manager. The documentation also still lags behind... If you do such advanced stuff like writing a custom net_if module, the interface for it has changed, but other than that SNMP is backwards compatible.

  *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***

###
1.60 SNMP 4.25.1

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

Version 4.25 supports code replacement in runtime from/to version 4.24.2, 4.24.1, 4.24, 4.23.1 and 4.23.

####
Improvements and new features

- [agent] Enable SNMP to create missing database directories.

  Add {db_init_error, create_db_and_dir} option to SNMP manager and agent. This allows them to create any missing parent directories for db_dir, rather than treating any missing directories as a fatal error. The default for db_init_error, which is terminate, is unchanged.

  Steve Vinoski

  Own Id: OTP-11352

- [manager] Improved handling of unexpected return values from snmpm_user callback functions.

  Violations of the documented API (crashes or invalid return values) will now result in an error message.

  Own Id: OTP-11307

- Add (atl) log conversion block option.

  It is now possible to request that the Audit Trail Log should be blocked during conversion (log_to_txt or log_to_io). This could be useful when converting an entire large log (when there is a chance it may otherwise wrap during conversion).

  See agent log_to_txt and log_to_io and also manager log_to_txt and log_to_io for details.

  Own Id: OTP-11396

  Own Id: seq12433

- When converting an Audit Trail Log to text, a corrupt log entry could cause the entire conversion to fail.

  Also, for a log with sequence numbers, failing to decode a log entry would cause the conversion to fail (not because of the failed decode, but because of the failure to write the error message).

  Own Id: OTP-111453

  Aux Id: Seq 12459

####
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Wrong block cypher type used for AES ('aes_cbf128' instead of 'aes_cfb128') when performing AES block encrypt/decrypt which breaks SNMP usmAesCfb128Protocol in agent and manager.

  Own Id: OTP-11412

- [manager] When performing the AES encryption, invalid values for the EngineBoots and EngineTime was used.

  The values of the local agent was used, which would have produced "some" values if an agent was actually running. If not it would have caused a crash.

- [agent] Reading the value of the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask returns it in the wrong (internal bitlist) format.

  The vacmViewTreeFamilyMask is defined as a bit string in the MIB (OCTET STRING). Internally a bitlist (list of 1's and 0's, see vacm config file for more info) is used. However, the MIB implementation assumed the latter, effectively rendering all attempts to read/set masks via SNMP unsuccessful.

  Since the mask is used in hot paths (e.g. access permission checks for each SNMP operation, the bitlist representation of the mask has benefits (e.g. faster processing). Reading/writing the view mask objects is less time-critical. Therefore, to fix the issue, convert between the bitlist (internal) representation and bitstring (external) when the vacmViewTreeFamilyMask objects are accessed.

  Also, the check of the vacm config file was invalid with regard to the mask value. It was assumed to be a proper oid, which is not strictly the case (see bitlist above).

####
Improvements and new features

- [agent] Semantic fixes to SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB. The semantics allow the usmUserAuthKeyChange and usmUserPrivKeyChange objects to be written to in the same set requests that also creates and clones the user. This was not possible beforehand, causing test tools checking semantic SNMPv3 behaviour to fail on a lot of test cases.

  Furthermore, once the user has been cloned by writing to an instance of usmUserCloneFrom, further set-operations to the same object will not return an error, but be no-ops. Especially, it must be avoided to copy security parameters again (possibly even from a different user).

- [agent] Errors in vacmAccessTable RowStatus handling. There are problems with the handling of vacmAccessTableStatus that cause some SNMP test suites to report errors. Most notably, erroneous set operations frequently cause "genErr" errors to be returned. These "genErr" errors are usually caused by badmatch exceptions coming from {ok, Row} = snmpa_vacm:get_row(RowIndex) if the row does not exist.

  The semantics of the RowStatus handling in that table has been adjusted to be compliant with the RowStatus textual description of SNPMv2-TC MIB.

If the table dumping (snmpa_vacm:dump_table/0) was initiated from several different processes in rapid succession, the dumping could fail because the different processes was simultaneously trying to write to the same file. This problem has been eliminated by creating a unique name for the temporary file.

- [manager] There was no way to specify transport domain. The transport domains was assumed to be IPv4 (transportDomainUdpIpv4). This has now been changed so that it can also be IPv6 (transportDomainUdpIpv6). To facilitate this, the transport domain, tdomain, is now a (new) valid option when registering a new agent (and updating agent info).

  This also mean that the transport behaviour has changed.
