It is both possible and routinely done.

* check that snmp_port is configured in your squid.conf
* check that snmp_community matches the one requested
* check that snmp_access is configured to allow your probes (src ACL is
the only type that works reliably)

Also, use SNMP v2 to get any details in the peer or client tables. v1 or
v2 is fine for other details.
