On the command line, type telnet followed by either the name of the DiskStation or the IP address of the DiskStation, then press the Enter key. Open a command line (in Windows, Start – Run – type cmd and press the Enter key). Make certain that there is a checkmark next to Telnet Client, then click the OK button. For Windows 7, access the Programs link in the Control Panel, and then click the Turn Windows features on or off link. Verify that the computer that you intend to use has a Telnet client. Then put a checkmark next to Enable Telnet service, and click the Apply button. In the DiskStation’s Control Panel, click Terminal & SNMP. While I rely on Nagios’ alerting system, I am not an expert at configuring the Nagios network monitoring system the Nagios configuration documentation may be downloaded here.įirst, make certain that the Telnet Service (or SSH Service if that is preferred) is enabled on the DiskStation. I have relied on the free Nagios network monitoring solution since 2002 to provide an early warning of problems associated with network attached equipment including servers, production floor computers, switches, printers, wireless access points, IP cameras, website accessibility, Internet connection stability, etc.
The directions below are not final, and quite likely do not represent the most efficient approaches to accomplish the end goal (note that the steps are more efficient than those for the DS1813+ and DS412+) – but the directions will hopefully be “close enough to correct” to allow the average reader of this blog to ping and send email alerts from a DiskStation. Copying a file to the wrong directory may temporarily disable the DiskStation and require the reinstallation of the Synology DSM operating system. File paths vary from one Linux distribution to the next, so that adds a bit of challenge to make certain that the files are placed in the required directory. This functionality represents a small fraction of Nagios’ capabilities through the use of plugins (see my article that describes setting up the Oracle client on a Diskstation to permit Oracle Database monitoring). Warning: A lot of what follows is based on experimentation, with the end goal of having Nagios running on a Synology DiskStation having the ability to ping devices on the network or the Internet, with an email sent to an administrator when a device stops responding to ping requests, and to send a second email when the device resumes responding to ping requests.

Note that the even though the DS415+ and DS1813+ both use Intel CPUs running a 64 bit DSM version, the installation steps are a bit different (I tried various unsuccessful approaches over the last two months, and finally found a working combination).

It may be possible to produce a working version of Nagios on NAS devices that do not have Intel 32 bit or 64 bit processors (such as the DS212+), but I have not yet fully tested the procedure with many different NAS units. Not all Synology DiskStation NAS devices use Intel based CPUs – some of the less expensive DiskStations use ARM type processors (see this link to determine the type of CPU installed in a specific DiskStation). Nagios is a very useful network monitoring (and even Oracle Database monitoring with plugins) utility that uses email or other communication means to report device or service outages.

This article describes how to compile and run Nagios 4.0.8 (with 2.0.3 plugins) on a Synology DiskStation DS415+ (64 bit), which utilizes an Intel Atom Avoton processor ( cat /proc/cpuinfo indicates that the unit is using a 2.40GHz Atom C2538, and utilizes the DSM 5.1-5021 (the latest version as of December 24, 2014) operating system.
