Hello, i want to have as an input for logstash SNMP polling responses. I was thinking of using the input plugin pipe to use the command snmpget output as an input (confuse huh? haha), the usage of the pipe plugin in that case would be correct? If so, could someone show me an example of the pipe plugin config?? Is it the best way to use SNMP responses as input data? Thanks!! ---

There's an [SNMP input](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.2/plugins-inputs-snmptrap.html), does that not work? ---

The SNMP plugin is for traps, which are alerts send by the configured agents. But for what i'm trying to do that not good, because to receive these alerts the value i need to know must above a certain limit or below a certain limit, but i cant depend on this limit, i need the value on the instant. Does it make sense? haha thanks ---
