I say it can't be beat for querying status parameters (hint: stateless
...)
You don't have to allow any writing whatsoever ... the security for this
really sucks (in SNMPv1 that is).
What else? Just hack a monitor that does what snmpvar.monitor does but
calls local scripts.
Downside? Monitors local machine only. Need to feed values into MRTG
or similar separately.
And of course your network equipment will also want to tell you how warm
it feels .. via SNMP only.

I have also used the ucd-snmp extension exec feature to make some of
these parameters available via SNMP in the first place on Linux
machines. It's fairly trivial to stick (lm_)sensors into this (first
make sure the sensors stuff works and gives correct readings!).
E-mail and paging are of course standard mon alert actions.
Repetition is also standard unless you use alertevery.
watch environment
service snmpval
interval 15m
monitor snmpval.monitor
alert mail.alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
alert qpage.alert oper_pager
This will check all configured variables against high & low limits and
complain every 15min by pager and E-mail until the values are back in
range.
