Hi....I can't get into coding specifics, and I'm not sure what level of
information you're looking for, so forgive me is you already know the
basics.

Fundamentally, SNMP uses a data structure called a MIB. I  think it's
ManagementInformationBlock, but I'm not sure. Anyway, there are probably
some standards documents available out on the web that will describe the
format and structure of the MIB.
The MIB contains all of the state information for the systems being used and
can be queried.

So you'd need to have scripts that either monitor or check some systems
status info, update the MIB, then have an application that monitors the MIB
for info/problems, etc....
