It's going to depend on the device and if there are plugins available for it but generally these devices can be monitored via SNMP. On Nagios systems there's the check_snmp plugin that can get values if the device is using SNMP and XI has the SNMPwalk wizard to scan for OIDs on a device:

Some devices may allow ssh access. In which case you can use the check_by_ssh plugin/wizard:

The exchange is a place where third parties can upload plugins and can be specific for devices:
