Use the check_snmp plugin at these OID's

Hpmemoryfree = .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.1.2.1.1.1.6.1
Cpu = .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.9.6.1.0
Fan = .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.6.1.4.1
Power = .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.6.1.4.2
Temprature = .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.6.1.4.4

My check_commands are like this:

define command{
        command_name    check_hpmemoryfree
        command_line    $USER1$/check_snmpp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C $ARG1$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.1.2.1.1.1.6.1 -t 5 -w $ARG2$ -c $ARG3$ -u bytes -l free
        }

define command{
        command_name     hpsw_cpu
        command_line     $USER1$/check_snmpp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.9.6.1.0 -t 5 -w '95:90' -c '100:95' -C $ARG1$ -u % -l "5min cpu"
        }

define command{
        command_name    check_hpfan
        command_line     $USER1$/check_snmpp -H 192.168.33.10 -C chero -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.6.1.4.1 -w 4 -c 3:5 -l 'Fan status'
}

define command{
        command_name    check_hppower
        command_line     $USER1$/check_snmpp -H 192.168.33.10 -C chero -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.6.1.4.2 -w 4 -c 3:5 -l 'Power Supply status'
}

define command{
        command_name    check_hptemp
        command_line     $USER1$/check_snmpp -H 192.168.33.10 -C chero -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.1.2.6.1.4.4 -w 4 -c 3:5 -l 'Temprature status'
}

You might want to download the hp managements MIB's and include them in the net-snmp MIB's folder.

For interface speed and error check, use any mib2 compiant plugin, there are
Several out there.
