Messages for OSNMPD and SNMP Unix command need documenting

Whilst trying to migrate SNMP from v1/v2 to v3 I was trying to read the messages produced by the OSNMPD started task and by the SNMP Unix command. These are an odd set of messaged and don't match the normal IBM standards. I have found nowhere where they are documented. Please document them. Thankyou

Here is just a small selection of those messages.
P2: S@ED(1482): decode_trap_varBinds: final varBind count is 79
P2: S@MH( 281): rc=0 (SNMP_RC_OK) from snmp_decode_message
E2: SYS12212.T071743.RA000.S@LOGGIN.SRCCMS.H01(EZASNSLG)(273): No logging for SNMPv1
P1: S@COMMUN(2728): Community MY_Community: authentication failed
P3: S@AUTHV1(1072): Authenticating SNMP community-based message on domain 15
P3: S@AUTHV1(1127): Using domain 1 for SNMP community-based authentication
P2: S@AUTHV1(1141): Using ANY_COMMUNITY

    We do not document our messages issued when debug or error debug is enabled, and this is true across most of our components (not just SNMP/OSNMP).
