Hello Everyone,  
I am using Snmptrap plugin of logstash to receive snmp traps.  
My configurations of snmptrap are below

```auto
                type => snmptrap
                host => '[XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]'
                port => 25826
                codec => "json"
                yamlmibdir => "/usr/share/logstash/mib/"
            }

```

The error I am getting is :

`SNMP Trap listener is died {:exception=>#<SocketError>: bind: unsupported address [XXX:XXX:XXX:XXX:XXX:XXX:XXX:XXX]} for protocol family INET >`

So I want to know does logstash Snmptrap plugin support IPV6 or not or Is it something different issue  
Thanks
