# SNMP Monitoring for NAS: Synology & QNAP Setup + OIDs

Monitor a Synology or QNAP NAS over SNMP — enable the service, track storage and interfaces via standard MIBs, and read volume and disk health via vendor MIBs.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I enable SNMP on Synology or QNAP?

On Synology, go to Control Panel → Terminal & SNMP → SNMP and enable the service; on QNAP, use Network & Virtual Switch → SNMP. Choose v2c or v3, set a random read-only community (or v3 credentials), restrict access to your manager's IP with the NAS firewall, and verify with an snmpwalk before adding it to monitoring. Prefer SNMPv3 on a device holding sensitive data.

### What OID is the NAS volume status?

Volume/RAID status lives in the vendor MIB — SYNOLOGY-MIB or QNAP-MIB under the vendor's enterprise tree — not in a standard MIB. The exact leaf varies by model and firmware, so load the vendor MIB into your manager and walk the vendor subtree by name to find the volume-status object your unit exposes, rather than assuming a numeric OID.

### Can SNMP read disk health on a NAS?

Yes, through the vendor MIB. SYNOLOGY-MIB and QNAP-MIB expose per-disk status objects (and often SMART-derived health and temperature), so you can poll and alert on a failing disk before it takes a volume down. These are vendor-specific leaves — confirm the exact OIDs against the vendor's published MIB for your model instead of inventing one.

### Do the standard storage OIDs work on a NAS?

Yes. Because Synology and QNAP run Linux-based OSes, the standard HOST-RESOURCES-MIB storage table works — each volume appears with size and used space, so you can track fullness exactly as on a Linux server. Interfaces come through the standard IF-MIB too. Use these for portable capacity and network metrics, and the vendor MIB for RAID, disk health, and temperature.
