Hi,
I see I can enter some SNMPv3 credential data, but where can one use them to retrieve SNMP from devices?
I searched for examples on the Internet but found nothing on this topic :(

You would need to enter MIB OID (Object Identifier) as shown on the screen shot below, which is basically a path to the value you want to retrieve. You can try some common OIDs, such as:

1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0 (system uptime)
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.1.0 (system description)
1.3.6.1.2.1.1.5.0 (system host name)

Our Network Scanner comes with a few common MIB files, so you can easily pick an OID from the tree:
