you can use check_tcp to connect to the various tcp ports Samba listens
on: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_port_usage


And you can use other Nagios plugins like check_smb

I think there are also more scripts to check various services of AD.
Maybe they need to be adapted or rewritten, to run on a *nix machine,
instead Windows.
