I think the way you would do this is to set NetView to do data collection on
MIB variables that count CRC errors and Ethernet collisions, and define
threshold events on these in the data collector.

Your routers and switches should support the Etherlike-MIB (RFC 2665,
previously RFC 2358 , previously RFC 1650). 

This MIB has a table, dot3StatsTable, which consists of a set of error
counters
including counters for CRC errors and counters for collisions.

You will probably find error counters like these in some vendor enterprise
MIBs
too.
