With #2 being implemented, passwords are saved in plain-text in the Netbox config context.
It would be much better to retrieve these values in a secrets format. This would eliminate settings passwords in plain text.
I'm thinking of an argument "-s" which would enable this functionality. This will require a Netbox private key stored in an environment variable. After that its a simple check if the SNMP value exists in secrets format. If not, fall back to values specified in the plain config context.
