check_snmp

First thing you have to do is to configure a checkcommand in your
checkcommands.cfg. The checkcommands configuration file, translates the
nagios checks to real-time unix commands.
An example could look like this:

# 'check_snmp_3_oid' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_snmp_3_oid
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o $ARG1$ -c
$ARG2$ -o $ARG3$ -o $ARG4$ -C $ARG5$
        }

After defining a check, you can start adding entries in your services.cfg
that make use of snmp. An example could be:
define service{
        use                             generic-service         ; Name of
servic
e template to use

        host_name                       swtest
        service_description             snmp.port1
        is_volatile                     0
        check_period                    24x7
        max_check_attempts              3
        normal_check_interval           5
        retry_check_interval            1
        contact_groups                  network-admins
        notification_interval           120
        notification_period             24x7
        notification_options            c,r
        check_command
check_snmp_3_oid!ifOperStatus.101!1!ifDescr.101!ifOperStatus.101!comstring
        }

good luck!
