Any advice on a solution for capturing SNMP traps via syslog to Splunk?

I'm looking for a third party option to capture and send SNMP traps via SYSLOG to Splunk for easier ingestion. I see a lot of free ware that could do this, but looking for recommendation of how others are doing this.

Hello

Have you tried the SNMP Modular input app?:

Yes we did some work with the Module but had some issues getting the python converter module to convert the mibs. We also are using Splunk Cloud and would require them to make changes every time we needed to put additional mibs out there.
