If you have enabled SNMP on them then it is probably sensible.  For
some values of sensible.

First thing to try is check_snmp -h.  Second thing to try is googling
for check_snmp.  Third thing to try is using one of the other plugins... 

It might appear sensible to use check_snmp, but if you cannot find anything
that lets you figure out how to use it then maybe one of the other plugins
is a better option.  Every time I have ever looked at SNMP, the words
"camel", "committee" and the phrase "that smells like festering camel
poo" have always come to mind.  YMMV.  Note that I am probably completely
wrong on that since John Postel was deeply involved in SNMP MIBs, and he
forgot more about the Internet than I could hope to learn in several
lifetimes.
