defmodule SnmpKit.SnmpLib.ErrorHandler do
@moduledoc """
Intelligent error handling with retry logic, circuit breakers, and adaptive recovery.
This module provides sophisticated error handling capabilities designed to improve
reliability and performance in production SNMP environments. Based on patterns
proven in high-scale network monitoring systems handling thousands of devices.
## Features
- **Exponential Backoff**: Intelligent retry timing to avoid overwhelming failing devices
- **Circuit Breakers**: Automatic failure detection and recovery for unhealthy devices
- **Error Classification**: Smart categorization of errors for appropriate handling
- **Adaptive Timeouts**: Dynamic timeout adjustment based on device performance
- **Quarantine Management**: Temporary isolation of problematic devices
- **Recovery Strategies**: Multiple approaches for bringing devices back online
## Error Classification
### Transient Errors (Retryable)
- Network timeouts
- Temporary device overload
- UDP packet loss
- DNS resolution delays
### Permanent Errors (Non-retryable)
- Authentication failures
- Unsupported SNMP versions
- Invalid OIDs
- Device configuration errors
### Degraded Performance
- Slow response times
- Partial failures
- High error rates
- Resource exhaustion
## Circuit Breaker States
### Closed (Normal Operation)
Device is healthy, all operations proceed normally.
### Open (Failing)
Device has exceeded failure threshold, operations are blocked.
### Half-Open (Testing)
Limited operations allowed to test device recovery.
## Usage Examples
# Basic retry with exponential backoff
result = SnmpKit.SnmpLib.ErrorHandler.with_retry(fn ->
SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Manager.get("192.168.1.1", [1,3,6,1,2,1,1,1,0])
end, max_attempts: 3)
# Circuit breaker for device management
{:ok, breaker} = SnmpKit.SnmpLib.ErrorHandler.start_circuit_breaker("192.168.1.1")
result = SnmpKit.SnmpLib.ErrorHandler.call_through_breaker(breaker, fn ->
SnmpKit.SnmpLib.Manager.get_bulk("192.168.1.1", [1,3,6,1,2,1,2,2])
end)
# Adaptive timeout based on device history
timeout = SnmpKit.SnmpLib.ErrorHandler.adaptive_timeout("192.168.1.1", base_timeout: 5000)

## Public API
@doc """
Executes a function with intelligent retry logic and exponential backoff.
Automatically retries transient failures while avoiding permanent errors.
Uses exponential backoff with jitter to prevent thundering herd problems.
## Parameters
- `fun`: Function to execute (should return `{:ok, result}` or `{:error, reason}`)
- `opts`: Retry configuration options
## Options
- `max_attempts`: Maximum retry attempts (default: 3)
- `strategy`: Backoff strategy (:exponential, :linear, :fixed)
- `base_delay`: Initial delay in milliseconds (default: 1000)
- `max_delay`: Maximum delay between retries (default: 30000)
- `jitter_factor`: Random variation factor (default: 0.1)
- `retry_condition`: Custom function to determine if error is retryable
## Returns
- `{:ok, result}`: Operation succeeded (possibly after retries)
- `{:error, reason}`: Operation failed after all attempts
- `{:error, {:max_retries_exceeded, last_error}}`: All retries exhausted
## Examples
