# Notepad ++ tools for SNMP

### Explenation

Notepad++ is a powerful text editor that implements some basic tagging and formatting that gives it some limited IDE Functionality. It is equipped with many languages by default and can format their text automatically based on the file extension. It also allows you to create your own User Defined Languages (UDLs) to format other filetypes in a custom manner. This page includes two UDLs for viewing MIB files in NotePad++, both UDLs are identical in function but one has the colors modified for better viewing for those who prefer Notepad++'s 'darkmode' view.

### Installation

* For installation open your UserDefinedLanguage folder, generally found at:

```
.\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\userDefineLangs
```

* Or find it via the NotePad++ drop down menu under:

```
Languages -> User Defined Languages -> Open User Defined Language Folder
```

* Unzip the zipped folder below and find two .xml files 'userDefineLang-MIB.xml' for Lightmode users, and 'userDefineLang-MIB-DM.xml' for Darkmode users.
* Copy both, or just the desired UDL from that zipped folder into the UserDefinedLanguage folder mentioned above.
* Restart your Notepad++ Application
* Open the desired file and apply the language through the same menu.

```
Languages -> MIB/MIB (Dark Mode)
```

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/telecom-references/developer-reference/snmp/notepad-tools-for-snmp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
