This question would probably get a better response from the users mailing list. There are several possibilities, but we'd need to know what you're trying to monitor. Can you describe the nature of the service?
 
If you were to manually check and verify that the service is running, what check/s would you perform?
 
net-snmp can do many things. If you want to monitor a running process, you can (within certain limits). It can even send a trap if the process dies. Many other things are possible by way of the 'pass' and 'pass-persist' features of net-snmp. Read up on them.
 
I had a few instances where I required monitoring of metric data that couldn't be presented remotely on it's own. I wrote a wrapper script in python that used the net-snmp::pass-persist feature.
 
This article summarizes it nicely: http://www.dreness.com/wikimedia/index.php?title=Net_SNMP and provides examples.
If you require a more robust script, the example shown is a great starting point and there are many other examples on the 'net that you can derive a custom script from.
 
Thanks,
Steve.

As Steve replied earlier, I think you have the mailing list contexts  
confused.  You are asking operational questions in the developers  
forum and development related questions in the general discussion  
forum.  You also appear to be asking a lot of questions without  
attempting to do any research on your own.  I would start with asking  
1 or possibly 2 questions at a time rather than flooding the channels  
with questions giving the appearance that you're not trying to work  
any of this out yourself.  I think you will find the community quite  
helpful if you are in the right context when asking properly thought  
out questions.
