In 2020(and prior) more and more device use SNMPv3 and send traps in V3 as request by security team. But if you have a flood in SNMPv3 the file trapFilter.conf as no used because it process only SNMP V2c and that early stage filter cannot see encrypted V3 traps.
Then if you have a flood it will hit your flooding engine and will "shut down" trap processing, probably even the other V1/V2 traps, to protect itself.
Then I request to add a post decryption V3 filtering but prior to the flood engine.
For now we can use nnmtrap.conf to drop traps after the flooding engine but that setup is not optimal.
