I use SNMPTT to forward SNMP traps received from the Compaq Insight 
Agents running on each server to Nagios.

I have converted the MIB files from the Compaq Management CD (CD with 
Insight Manager) for use with SNMPTT.  I currently have 344 traps defined.

With this setup, I get alerts such as:

-Tape Drive Status Change: Status is now offline.

-Tape Drive Cleaning Required: Status is now degraded

-Corr Mem Errors Require a Replacement Memory Module.: Correctable 
memory errs require a replacement memory module.

-Physical Drive Status Change: Status is now predictiveFailure for a 
physical drive on bus 0, bay 1.

Basically, anything you see in the error log for a server in Insight 
Manager, you should be able to get in to Nagios using SNMP traps. 
Insight Manager is not needed as the traps are sent directly to 
SNMPTRAPD (Net-SNMP), handled by SNMPTT and forwared to Nagios.  You may 
still want to have Insight Manager around so you can query config info 
etc on servers or look at the internal logs.

See http://www.snmptt.org and 
http://www.snmptt.org/docs/snmptt.shtml#Nagios-Netsaint for more info.
