# View Source snmpa_notification_filter behaviour (snmp v5.18.2)

Behaviour module for the SNMP agent notification filters.

This module defines the behaviour of the agent notification filters. A `snmpa_notification_filter` compliant module must export the following functions:

- handle_notification/2

The semantics of them and their exact signatures are explained below.

The purpose of notification filters is to allow for modification and/or suppression of a notification.

A misbehaving filter will be removed.
