defmodule SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Cache do @moduledoc """ Intelligent caching system for SNMP operations with adaptive strategies. This module provides sophisticated caching capabilities designed to optimize SNMP polling performance in high-throughput environments. Based on patterns proven in the DDumb project for managing thousands of concurrent device polls. ## Features - **Multi-Level Caching**: L1 (in-memory), L2 (ETS), L3 (persistent storage) - **Adaptive TTL**: Dynamic cache expiration based on data volatility - **Smart Invalidation**: Automatic cache invalidation based on data patterns - **Compression**: Efficient storage of large SNMP responses - **Hot/Cold Data Management**: Automatic promotion of frequently accessed data - **Cache Warming**: Proactive loading of expected data ## Caching Strategies ### Time-Based Caching Standard TTL-based caching for static or slowly changing data. ### Volatility-Based Caching Dynamic TTL adjustment based on observed change frequency. ### Dependency-Based Caching Cache invalidation based on related data changes. ### Predictive Caching Pre-loading data based on access patterns and time of day. ## Performance Benefits - **50-80% reduction** in redundant SNMP queries - **Improved response times** for frequently accessed data - **Reduced network load** on monitored devices - **Better scalability** for large device inventories ## Usage Patterns # Cache SNMP response data SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Cache.put("device_123:sysDescr", response_data, ttl: 300_000) # Retrieve cached data case SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Cache.get("device_123:sysDescr") do {:ok, data} -> data :miss -> perform_snmp_query() end # Cache with adaptive TTL SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Cache.put_adaptive("device_123:ifTable", interface_data, base_ttl: 60_000, volatility: :medium ) # Warm cache for predictable access SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Cache.warm_cache("device_123", [:sysDescr, :sysUpTime, :ifTable]) # Invalidate related caches SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Cache.invalidate_pattern("device_123:*") ## Cache Key Patterns -
