Use the snmptap input instead - [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-snmptrap.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-snmptrap.html)

input snmp supports v3 snmp. use it to poll snmp.  
snmptrap, based on the [docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-snmptrap.html#plugins-inputs-snmptrap-yamlmibdir) , requires an mib map file in yaml format.
