The monitors are just scripts, they can test whatever you want. Monitors
exist to check various types of servers (DNS, HTTP, FTP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP,
telnet, etc) by querying or connecting to them. There is a monitor which
uses fping to test whether remote hosts are IP reachable. Lately a number
of monitors which use SNMP to query other things have been contributed.
I don't know what "agent" refers to in the context you're using it in.
