Nagios doesn't deal directly with MIBs at all -- really, all they all is
a standard format for documenting the SNMP information from a given
device.

To use that information, well, that depends on what's in the MIBs, and
what you care about. Look through the MIBs, and add check_snmp checks
against the OIDS you care about. Unless they're traps, in which case
this is a good starting point:

In either case, you don't *need* MIBs at all.
