HQ-Agent + SNMP (Informant)

Please excuse this question if it is a duplicate, but I am having a hard time understanding the workings of Hyperic and SNMP information.

I have successfully added one of my Windows servers via the Hyperic agent, Network device, and Network Host. Each method yields useful results, but I am looking for a blend of all three. Specifically, I'd like the base information the agent returns with a little more info relayed via SNMP. My server has SNMP Informant installed and successfully provided CPU temp to a Hyperic alternative...so I am thinking this is possible.

Does anyone have a definitive breakdown regarding the How To when configuring such an agent? I've looked at the following, but it wasn't quite what I expected. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

There's a lot of SNMP documentation recently written by Chip here:
