Is it ok to use SNMP to get errors from front end servers?

Good afternoon, Habr,
When deploying another loaded web project, the question arose of collecting critical errors from front-end servers.
The client uses CA Spectrum, a network infrastructure monitoring system that loves SNMP. The project uses Log4net as a logger, we can put an appender that can write to SNMP.
Actually the question is: is this an ideologically normal decision or pulling an owl on a globe?
If the latter, then how, according to experience, is it better to centrally collect errors from a dozen servers?
Disclaimer:
I'm not a sysadmin myself, and I only learned about SNMP from Spectrum help.

Quite reasonable. Up to the fact that some softwares implement the SNMP interface exclusively for monitoring.
