Answer Wiki:
It is possible, but it will depend on the SNMP agent running on each equipment.
Most SNMP agents report failures or the occurrence of specific events.
In this case, a better solution is probably a monitoring server that queries the monitored clients periodically. Depending on the monitoring solution, this could require the installation of a sepecial agent.
WMI could also be used to get information about Windows machines.
