well, SNMP isn't going to tell you much about the state of a webserver
or databbase statistics or whatever, its mostly just network information.

It can tell you just about anything depending on how you
configure it, SNMP is just a protocol. I get DB stats, system
stats etc from SNMPD by hooking in custom OIDs to external
scripts/files.

and thats different than configuring remote agents ?

Remote agents for anything but snmp protocol tend to be specific for a particular monitoring tool and often available for only one or a limited number of platforms. Snmp is built into most network-capable devices.
