The discussion about security at snmp is boring. SNMP is best way and a
stanad to monitor the whole computation centre. There is a nice plugin
for nagios to monitor almost all hardware in your hp server.

The other way is using "hplog" to dump an read all messages from the hp
agents.

PS:
You can crypt snmp by stunnel.
