Introduction

Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) allows users to monitor the status of their Synology NAS through Network
Management Systems (NMS) via Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). However, Synology DSM does
not provide SNMP trap capability.

This document introduces Management Information Base (MIB) files of Synology NAS. It focuses on which MIB
files are supported by DSM, while also describes how Object Identifiers (OIDs) in Synology MIBs are used with
your preferred NMS software. Users are encouraged to have experience and knowledge of NMS and SNMP
before consulting this document.

Supported MIB Files

DSM supports numerous MIB files that can help users monitor different information on their Synology NAS. Table
1 shows the MIBs supported by DSM.

These MIB files can be separated into two types: general SNMP MIB and Synology MIB. General SNMP MIB files
are equipped on NMS clients natively. This document does not explain the OIDs of general SNMP MIB files. If
you would like to learn more about OIDs in general SNMP MIB files, please visit this website.

Synology MIB files can provide specific data about a Synology NAS’s system, disks, RAID, and connected UPS
devices. Please see the “Synology MIB Files” section below for more Synology MIB information.

Synology MIB Files

The following Synology MIB files are provided in DSM. These MIB files are the child-nodes of OID (Object
Identifier) 1.3.6.1.4.1.6574. Table 2 shows the exact OID of each MIB. Please note that the MIB files are mutually
dependent. Before your NMS can monitor any of the items in these MIB files, please make sure that all of them
have been imported together and use SNMPv2c to obtain the complete Synology OID information.

 Synology Disk MIB
The Synology Disk MIB contains several types of information regarding hard drives, including ID, type and so
on, as listed in Table 4. This MIB is a table in SNMP. As such, it can increase or decrease in size when disks
are inserted or removed. For example, if a disk is inserted, an additional row containing relevant information will
emerge. The OID DiskIndex (.1) is reserved for an index of table rows and cannot be accessed. Table 5 describes
the contents of each DiskStatus in detail.

Synology RAID MIB

In addition to the disk MIB, Synology also provides an MIB for monitoring RAID status. This MIB is similar to the

Synology UPS MIB

The Synology UPS MIB provides the ability to monitor the status of a UPS device connected to the Synology
NAS. Please note that the available OIDs of the UPS MIB depend on what information is provided by the UPS
device. If a UPS device does not provide data for a certain OID, that OID will not appear in the NMS software.
Table 8 shows a partial UPS MIB table only. If you are interested in all OIDs, please refer to the MIB file

Monitor Specific OIDs

In any NMS, particular MIB files are needed in order to capture data through SNMP. Users need to import all MIB
files to ensure that the NMS can resolve specific OIDs. Once imported, data can be captured by setting up the
NMS. Although the means of operating different kinds of NMS may vary, the process of OID monitoring is similar.
The overall procedure is as follows.

1. Import MIB file into NMS.

2. Set up the NMS to monitor specific OIDs.

The following guide demonstrates the usage of PRTG (a type of NMS) including how to import MIB files and set
up monitoring for the provided OIDs. For further help regarding PRTG, please consult PRTG documentation, as
the following is only intended to be a brief description of OID monitoring.

Import MIB Files

As PRTG cannot import MIB files directly, Paessler MIB Importer is required to convert MIB files into the PRTG
format:

1. Download Paessler MIB Importer from http://www.paessler.com/tools/mibimporter and install it on

your computer.

2. Go to Import > MIB Files.

3. Choose all the Synology MIB file together and click Open File.

All MIB files (cf. Table 2) must be imported together as they are mutually dependent and Paessler MIB Importer
cannot load them individually. If the import is successful, a window as shown in Figure 1 should appear. Detailed
information is shown in Figure 2.

4. Go to File > Save As to export to the PRTG-supported format.

A PRTG-supported library containing the MIB information will then be generated.

Set up the NMS

The PRTG-supported library containing the MIB files in question should be placed into the folder: “snmplibs”.
Once this has been done, specific OIDs can be set up for monitoring in PRTG. This guide assumes that your
Synology NAS has already been added to the devices list and focuses only on how to add OIDs for monitoring.

1. Enter the PRTG Network Monitor.

2. Go to Sensors > Add Sensor.

 3. Click Add sensor to an existing device and choose a device.

4. Choose SNMP Library and the library exported in the previous section.

5. Select items for monitoring.
