STEPS TO REPRODUCE

This task fails

- name: Gather SNMP v3 facts
  delegate_to: localhost
  ansible.snmp.v3_usm:
    host: "{{ hostname }}"
    sec_level: authPriv
    version: 3
    username: "{{ userv3 }}"
    auth_proto: sha1
    auth_pass: "{{ authpasswd }}"
    priv_proto: aes128
    priv_pass: "{{ privpasswd }}"

EXPECTED RESULTS

I expect that ansible.snmp.v3_usm is found.

ACTUAL RESULTS

Actual result is error:
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'ansible.snmp.v3_usm'

# During play run with -vvvv, messages are:

Loading collection ansible.builtin from
Loading collection community.general from /z/python-virtualenv/python3.10.4_ansible-core2.15/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ansible_collections/community/general

Interestingly there is no attempt to load collection ansible.snmp, which is installed in same location as community.general

[zdudic]

Invalid issue, ansible.snmp.v3_usm is connection plugin, not module.
