Use check_nwstat. It's one of the standard plugins.

[libexec]$ ./check_nwstat --help (*slightly old version*)

This plugin attempts to contact the MRTGEXT NLM running on a Novell
server
to gather the requested system information.

Usage:
 check_nwstat -H host [-v variable] [-w warning] [-c critical]
              [-p port] [-t timeout]
 check_nwstat (-h | --help) for detailed help
 check_nwstat (-V | --version) for version information

Options:
-H, --hostname=HOST
  Name of the host to check
-v, --variable=STRING
  Variable to check.  Valid variables include:
     LOAD1    = 1 minute average CPU load
     LOAD5    = 5 minute average CPU load
     LOAD15   = 15 minute average CPU load
     CONNS    = number of currently licensed connections
     VPF<vol> = percent free space on volume <vol>
     VKF<vol> = KB of free space on volume <vol>
     LTCH     = percent long term cache hits
     CBUFF    = current number of cache buffers
     CDBUFF   = current number of dirty cache buffers
     LRUM     = LRU sitting time in minutes
     DSDB     = check to see if DS Database is open
     LOGINS   = check to see if logins are enabled
     UPRB     = used packet receive buffers
     PUPRB    = percent (of max) used packet receive buffers
     SAPENTRIES = number of entries in the SAP table
     SAPENTRIES<n> = number of entries in the SAP table for SAP type <n>
     OFILES   = number of open files
     VPP<vol> = percent purgeable space on volume <vol>
     VKP<vol> = KB of purgeable space on volume <vol>
     VPNP<vol> = percent not yet purgeable space on volume <vol>
     VKNP<vol> = KB of not yet purgeable space on volume <vol>
     ABENDS   = number of abended threads (NW 5.x only)
     CSPROCS  = number of current service processes (NW 5.x only)
-w, --warning=INTEGER
  Threshold which will result in a warning status
-c, --critical=INTEGER
  Threshold which will result in a critical status
-p, --port=INTEGER
  Optional port number (default: 9999)
-t, --timeout=INTEGER
  Seconds before connection attempt times out (default: 10)
-o, --osversion
  Include server version string in results
-h, --help
  Print this help screen
-V, --version
  Print version information

Notes:
- This plugin requres that the MRTGEXT.NLM file from James Drews' MRTG
  extension for NetWare be loaded on the Novell servers you wish to
check.
  (available from http://www.engr.wisc.edu/~drews/mrtg/)
- Values for critical thresholds should be lower than warning thresholds
  when the following variables are checked: VPF, VKF, LTCH, CBUFF, and
LRUM.
