As long as you have something on the machine that can
return the status of each cpu, you can at minimum set
up a script to return values via snmp in any format
you want.

So it can be done.

You can also create an entry in a local MIB that does
the job but that's a bit of work if you're not
comfortable with MIB construction.

Essential SNMP is what I used when setting up Nagios
and SNMP at my last place of work.

I'm in the middle of moving my data back to the Ultra
so I don't have my hands on the info but I can provide
it later if you still need it.
