About check_udp plugin

[Yu Watanabe]

Hello, 

I just want to confirm that whether the UDP 161 port is
available not . We don't need to know if the service is up or not.

Like you mentioned , I think the best way is to access to the agent.
However, is there any plugin that just confirms that the UDP 161 port is available or not ? 
If no, I will use the check_snmp and access to the agent.

Best Regards,
Yu Watanabe
