Snmptrap with Nagios

You need to have a machine that listens for SNMP traps.  The program
snmptrapd does this, it comes with net-snmp package.  This daemon
writes the trap info to the system log, or alternately runs a 
program and passes it the trap information.  That program can then
submit a check to nagios using NSCA or by writing to the nagios.cmd
pipe.
