What you're seeing is the result of each and every GET, GET-NEXT, GET-TABLE and GET-BULK query run against the machine. This is normal for this level of logging where each and every OID queried must be logged. Imagine an SNMP table for instance that consist of four interfaces, each with 10 fields of data, that would be a single SNMP query that results in 40 log entries. Hardly useful information in my opinion. Especially when polled every 5-10 minutes. However some government agencies such as the DoD require such stringent logging be enabled on their Unix/Linux machines.
