    I somehow missed this. Thanks for the explanation @Fred.Loucks I wasn't super clear myself and learned a bit too. From the SolarWinds perspective, we don't really have a recommendation on how to configure the SNMP v3 authentication, we just try to support what our customers are running. 

    As a side note, I'll link a Success Center knowledge base article as well, as it gives our recommendations across the platform for secure configurations. This isn't specifically cited in the article, but there are other recommendations you might find useful.
