As already posted by others, you can use either method.

Here's a script that uses SNMP to get the router status, and complains
if any of your BGP sessions are down:

  http://mon.cvs.sourceforge.net/mon/mon-contrib/monitors/bgp/bgp/

It's part of the Mon monitoring system but the script will operate
freestanding.
