Hi ,
I am new with ELK and I'm trying to configure my logstash to get SNMP V3 information from my devices, but unfortunately, I don't know what I am doing wrong.
I followed the procedures from the SNMP input plugin page:
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-snmp.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-snmp.html)
First, I generated a .DIC file:
```auto
root@my-PC# smidump --level=1 -k -f python Device-MIB.mib > Device-MIB.dic
Device-MIB.mib:6: failed to locate MIB module `SNMPv2-SMI'
Device-MIB.mib:8: failed to locate MIB module `SNMPv2-TC'
Device-MIB.mib:17: unknown object identifier label `enterprises'
smidump: module `Device-MIB.mib' contains errors, expect flawed output
```
I saved the .DIC file at the this path:
```auto
/etc/logstash/MIB/Device-MIB.dic
```
This is my logstash-inputsnmpv3.conf configuration file:
```auto
input {
snmp {
hosts => [{host => "udp:10.10.10.212/161" version => "3"}]
get => ["1.3.6.1.4.1.41263.1"]
mib_paths => ["/etc/logstash/MIB/"]
security_name => "snmp_user"
auth_protocol => "sha"
auth_pass => "secret"
priv_protocol => "aes"
priv_pass => "secret"
security_level => "authPriv"
type => "snmp"
}
}
```
And this is the output that I have:
```auto
[root@ELK-SERVER bin]# ./logstash -f /etc/logstash/conf.d/ -l /var/log/logstash/

```
I don't understand what I am doing wrong.
With SNMP V2 ,logstash works properly (using snmp trap plugin). I tried to search some tutorial explaining how to configure it, but I didn't found it.
Please, can someone help me with this issue?
Thanks in advanced.
